After Zhang Han received the communication from Johnny, he was also surprised. Johnny has such a strong subjective initiative and can change according to the situation and turn unfavorable conditions into advantages as much as possible.

Originally, Zhang Han was worried that the destruction fleet he sent would affect Johnny's infiltration work. After all, Swarm Fleet had passed through a civilized galaxy that had been infiltrated, so he had to fight. It was too weird, and even a fool could see the problem.

One hundred thousand Swarm Fleet and Zhang Han can now be completely lost. With so many galaxies now, the daily production capacity exceeds 20,000 Swarm Fleet. This includes large Zerg units like Brood Lord.

As long as he can be harassed for ten days, Zhang Han can make up for his losses and fight consumption. Swarm has never been afraid of anyone.

Relying on the great business of his family, Zhang Han was also proud and directly handed over one hundred thousand Swarm Fleet commanded by War Cerebrate to Johnny, hoping that Johnny's magical Mimic could surprise him again.

He didn't pay attention to the moved Johnny who was moved by Swarm Network. Zhang Han just encouraged him and left. He also had his own work, which was to build the Cadian that he had just defeated into a stronger Fortress Planet.

Johnny promised Zhang Han that he could at least hold Stellaris Council's attention in Libra Sector for a month. Such a long time is enough for Zhang Han and his subordinate Node to form a strong fortress of three galaxies in the shape of horns.

Zhang Han does not intend to go into full-scale war with Stellaris Council, but he does not want to be disturbed by them either.

But what he didn't know was that while he was plotting against others, someone was also plotting against him.

In the distant galaxy, three stars formed an irregular three-body motion, and the magnetic field between them actually reached a certain balance, wrapping the natural Antimatter resource point within it.

It is also because of the existence of this resource point that the irregular three-body motion has a trace of regularity.

It is precisely because they are bound by a strong magnetic field that these Antimatter do not collide with matter and be annihilated as soon as they are created.

Of course, this magnetic field is unstable, and the three-body motion between stars is unstable, so the balance of the strong magnetic field will be broken at any time, and the Antimatter resource point will undergo a violent explosion and be destroyed.

Occasionally, some Antimatter will be ejected and fly away from the resource point driven by the magnetic field. When the distance is far enough, the magnetic field is not enough to wrap the Antimatter inside, and a violent annihilation explosion will light up the starry sky.

On Peacemaker, Zhang Zihao and Chen Hui all witnessed this spectacle.

In addition to being amazed, they were also extremely excited. Manufacturing Antimatter has always consumed a lot of energy. The reserves of this Antimatter resource point are also very high, and it is not troublesome to mine them. They just need to wait for the resource points to be thrown out.

The wealth represented by this resource point is immeasurable. Preliminary calculations show that if Sapphire Civilization can completely occupy it, there will be no problem at all in raising an additional 200,000 warships.

Chen Hui is happy that his knowledge has made a huge contribution to civilization, Zhang Zihao is even more excited. With this credit, he will definitely be promoted again, and Civilization Leader can also gain huge political capital and be re-elected.

While everyone was still immersed in excitement, Chen Hui was already entering various data on the virtual keyboard, and soon her terminal gave the answer she wanted.

"General Zhang, if the equation calculation is correct, another spill will occur at the Antimatter resource point in three days, including at least fifty kilograms of Antimatter!" Chen Hui smiled very happily.

She no longer cares that the Antimatter resource point is a bait thrown by Nalga. This is obviously a matter of mutual benefit. Nalga has protected her child, and Sapphire Civilization has harvested the Antimatter resource point which has huge benefits.

"So fast! This is great!" Zhang Zihao's eyes always stopped at the Antimatter resource point, and he didn't want to move away for a moment.

"Dr. Chen, the harvest from this expedition has been great. Your wisdom has given great help to the entire civilization. I will apply to the leader to award you the Civilized Hero Medal."

This sentence is what Zhang Zihao really thinks, although compared to the benefits he and Civilization Leader have received, a medal is really nothing.

But for a person like Chen Hui who is smart, has high social prestige, and has great influence, she already has fame and fortune, and all she can give is honor.

"General Zhang, you don't have to be like this. I just did what I should do." Chen Hui doesn't have that much thought. She really has no desires. Apart from knowledge, there are not many things that interest her. By the way, there is one more thing, which is to know more about what kind of existence Devouring Swarm is.

Three days later, Chen Hui used the Field Shields generator of Peacemaker to smoothly catch the fifty kilograms of Antimatter thrown by the resource point.

The value of Antimatter has always been calculated in grams. During this period, the fleet was parked here to mine Antimatter. The harvest was so great that Chen Hui couldn't restrain his smile when chatting with Nalga.

"It seems that the unexpectedly discovered resource point Antimatter really makes you and your civilization very satisfied. In this case, are you going to mine here for a long time?" Nalga asked while eating.

"Well, there is no point in going back to that Planet. The fleet is going to stay here for a while, set up a simple mining station, and then go back home with the collected Antimatter."

Chen Hui made no secret of the fleet's plan. She also felt that this was the best ending. There would be no war and no death. It would be good for both Sapphire Civilization and Swarm.

"Today should be the day when I receive the order from the capital. I think the leader will be very happy to issue the order to cancel the expedition and let the fleet go home."

Speaking of this, Chen Hui looked at Nalga seriously and said, "When the time comes, you must stop being non-violent and non-cooperative. I want to start a new subject, which is about Devouring Swarm sociology. I want to teach this in university, and I really need your help in this regard."

"Building a peaceful relationship is not an easy task. Maybe I won't be able to do it in my life, but as long as I am willing to study hard and work hard, it is not necessarily hopeless."

"Perhaps among my students, there will be people who create miracles. And the friendship between you and me may be the lubricant that smoothes the differences between the two races."

A rapid ringing interrupted Chen Hui's speech. Chen Hui frowned unhappily. She clearly said that she was not allowed to be disturbed while doing research, but she actually used emergency communication. What happened?

"Dr. Chen, please come to the bridge immediately. We just received a communication from the capital. Something serious has happened!"

"Big thing?" Chen Hui was also very surprised. What big thing could happen? Is it domestically? If the problems caused by the bad economic situation have nothing to do with her. She handed over the company, what big thing could it have to do with her?

In confusion, she heard news that made her feel dizzy.

"Devouring Swarm has occupied Cadian, and our retreat has been cut off."
