Several such tomb worlds have been established, some hidden within the territory of the Silicon Alliance, and some hidden in the dark depths of the universe.
In fact, after the prophecy of the upcoming Swarm was made, Gestalt has been doing similar things, calculating defeat before calculating victory.
In order to protect these tomb worlds and not expose their locations, the coordinates of some worlds have been deleted from the Gestalt database. To hide the secret from the enemy, you must first hide it from yourself.
While the Silicon Alliance was nervously building the tomb world, Zhang Han was heading towards Cadian with a fleet of 800,000 Swarm.
It was the first time to command such a large fleet of Swarm, and it was also the first time for Zhang Han to intuitively feel how terrifying Swarm was and how good at war he was.
Such a large Swarm fleet is the result of Zhang Han's lack of mental strength, which limits the scale of Swarm's incubation...
Imagine that you are in the solar system and have such a huge power. What does human power mean? Can you kill a Brood Lord, or Corruptor?
I'm afraid one Swarm Leviathan will destroy human civilization.
This is a very small galaxy. The hyperspace channels are located at both ends of the galaxy. Because the galaxy is too small and the hyperspace channels are also small, the 800,000-strong Swarm fleet needs to sail in from one end and out from the other.
This will take some time.
Swarm Levi, carrying Zhang Han and Skadi, was floating in the galaxy. Zhang Han stood on top of Leviathan's head, looking at the huge Swarm fleet as far as the eye could see, crossing the entire galaxy like a nebula.
Recalling that from the time he arrived at Tabi Star, it took only one year for Swarm to re-enter the starry sky. From the time he began to expand Swarm, it has only taken less than two years to master such a huge Swarm fleet.
Such a short time may be just a blink of an eye for some civilizations. Perhaps many Stellaris Council civilizations have accumulated thousands or tens of thousands of years of heritage. These interstellar civilizations have their own epics, and they are all well-deserved great civilizations.
However, in just two years, Swarm has the strength to sweep away their countless years of accumulation and defeat them, Consume and the others. This reminds Zhang Han of a sentence in The Three-Body Problem, destroying you has nothing to do with you.
There is a Hatchery on the only planet in the galaxy. This is Overlord, the core of Koret Hatchery. After coming into contact with Zhang Han Finally, he didn't care about the mental strength of Zhang Han. He recognized that the mental frequency was that of Overmind, so he directly joined Zhang Han and became a lower-level network.
So the size of Zhang Han's Swarm fleet increased by another hundred thousand. At this time, Koret was suggesting to Zhang Han his views on attacking Cadian.
"Great Overmind, after a round of strikes, there is not much defense left in the target galaxy you want to capture. I have also recorded the location of the planet's firepower points in detail."
"It's just that I don't think it's appropriate to devote all our troops to attack a galaxy. The reason why I failed was because of the reinforcements sent by Stellaris Council."
"So, I suggest that we divide our forces to attack several locations to distract their attention, and at the same time send a harassment fleet into their rear star field to destroy it."
After expressing his suggestion, Coret also passed the information he collected on the surrounding galaxies to Zhang Han, which contained detailed records of Stellaris Council's military deployment and important population galaxies.
He is very satisfied with Koret's Overlord node Zhang Han. This should be one of the nodes that makes him most satisfied. His thinking is very simple and transparent, without much scheming and emotion, just to execute orders.
The disadvantage is that his command ability may be a bit dull, either bad, or dull, and without spirituality. Basically, the war Cerebrate calculates which plan has a higher winning rate and chooses it. It does not consider that Cerebrate's plan may be designed with insufficient information.
In fact, many ordinary nodes of Swarm look like this.
Combined with Koret's intelligence, Zhang Han prepared to divide its forces into four groups to launch a comprehensive attack on Stellaris Council.
They attacked the Council system close to Cadian in two directions, blocking the Council's reinforcements, and followed the hyperspace channel all the way. They did not intend to completely occupy the system, but continued to destroy the military industry and logistics systems that harassed the Council.
The two strike fleets each have a size of 200,000, and are led by Skati and Coret. Now each Swarm fleet will hatch a dedicated Cerebrate shielding Shroud, and Skadi does not need to follow Zhang Han.
The harassment fleet has a size of 100,000 and is only commanded by an ordinary war Cerebrate. Its mission is to cause as much damage as possible and exist as long as possible.
The last four hundred thousand Swarm fleet, led by Zhang Han himself, besieged Cadian.
Before the fleet set off, Zhang Han made the final arrangements and first contacted the Cerebrate node of Tabi Star.
Everything is fine with Tabi Star, but the Dalom Empire, ruled by Chloe, has exerted a strong initiative. They established their own battle group and sent the first batch of battleships into space.
Hatchery has also been upgraded to level six and can hatch Swarm Leviathan. Taking into account Stellaris Council's Titan-class battleships and various types of battleships with increasingly stronger field shields.
Zhang Han ordered Cerebrate to shrink the ten-kilometer-long Swarm Leviathan in half, then remove the Leviathan's auxiliary organs, including the melee organs, and replace them all with high-energy plasma cannons and gigabit electromagnetic cannons, preparing to overwhelm Stellaris Council with firepower and numbers.
In a full-scale war with Stellaris Council, the pressure on the front may be increasing, so these heavy weapons Leviathan will play a big role.
The existing production capacity of Hatchery is very high. In order to cope with possible more intense wars in the future, Zhang Han also allows the Cerebrate node to store a large number of half-hatched Swarm units. Once necessary, the loss of Swarm will be immediately made up, just like storing eggs in an interstellar game.
Except for Swarm Leviathan, other Swarm units can be stored in this semi-hatched state.
Enter Cadian.
Not knowing that the crisis was about to come, Fortress Marshal Feng Huo finally received reinforcements from Stellaris Council, and the stone in his heart was temporarily relieved.
There are a total of 50,000 combined fleets, most of which are civilizations from the Balance Star Territory.
The quantity is still huge, but the quality is much worse, and its combat effectiveness is only comparable to that of a fleet of thirty thousand Antilians.
Fortunately, they were accompanied by a rock series Antill supply fleet, which not only brought a large amount of industrial equipment and machinery, but also weapons, ammunition, recruits and other supplies.
These things are real life-saving straws for Cadian now. The last war almost turned this planet into a dead planet. The atmosphere is now polluted by dust, and it is impossible to move outdoors without wearing a protective mask.
The loss of troops was more than half of the casualties. The super soldiers were okay, and the ordinary mortal army had several legions in full strength.
Moreover, for a fortress planet like Cadian to operate normally, it requires not only soldiers, but also a large number of engineers. Only their maintenance can make various weapon systems operate better.
