Just take a screenshot from Stellaris for easy understanding. It is impossible to truly simulate the universe, and the size is very difficult to get.
"Cadian has fallen! Isn't this fake news? Have you confirmed it?" This was the first sentence asked by Chen Hui who rushed to the bridge because the content was so unbelievable that she really couldn't believe it.
The atmosphere on the bridge was indeed extremely serious. No one spoke. Zhang Zihao silently pressed a button on the console, and the command screen on the bridge projected a picture captured by the optical radar.
In the picture, the originally smooth space of the universe suddenly began to vibrate, and then a huge hole suddenly opened, and Hyperspace Route appeared.
The picture inside the channel is completely different from the picture when the ordinary Hyperspace Route is opened. It is not that the background of the bizarre Hyperspace Route is dotted with some space fleets, but the other way around. Those strange backgrounds are completely filled with endless Swarm Fleet.
The universe is like opening a bag full of Swarm Fleet. What flies out of the bag are all kinds of Swarm Fleet.
For the first time, Chen Hui felt the fear of cold sweat crawling down her spine. Her tongue trembled and she asked, "How many Swarm Fleet are invading Cadian? Libra Sector's reinforcements have arrived. Maybe they can hold on..."
Zhang Zihao still didn't speak. He pressed his hands on the projection screen and pulled it to both sides. Three different locations, but the same endless Swarm Fleet pictures pouring out of Hyperspace Route...
This time Chen Hui was so frightened that he covered his mouth and couldn't say a word.
"Not only Cadian, Swarm also invaded three galaxies. These invaded galaxies only had time to send out an image. Judging from the current time, all three galaxies should have fallen..." Zhang Zihao said the first words.
"Because Shroud refused to provide any information about Devouring Swarm, we don't know the purpose of their attack. The most likely guess is that Swarm started to counterattack.
After all, Stellaris Council has been attacking Devouring Swarm for so long, and they will try to counterattack, but no one thought that the counterattack would be so powerful."
The bridge was still quiet, with only Zhang Zihao's voice explaining the situation.
"Not only these, but also the huge Swarm Fleet of unknown size has penetrated deep into the interior of Libra Sector. It is said that it has destroyed several worlds. It was a huge humanitarian disaster. Antilians's speech on Stellaris Council is right. The doomsday crisis is coming, and many civilizations will really perish..."
"Based on the available information, it is speculated that the scale of Swarm Fleet that captured Cadian together should exceed one million, at least..."
Hearing this, a staff officer breathed a sigh of relief and interjected, "One million, Stellaris Council can handle it. As long as the Permanent Members of the Security Councils take action, they will be defeated. Do you remember the battle before launching the Fortress Plan? The three major Permanent Members of the Security Councils joined together and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Swarm Fleets."
Someone immediately echoed, "Yes, the movement at that time was really loud, and the battle scene was also amazing. The three Titan-class Warship were like gods descending from the earth, sweeping away those bugs."
"Yes, yes! Those bugs have only quantity but no quality. At that time, they were equally numerous and filled every corner of the galaxy. In the end, they were defeated and turned into pieces of meat floating in space."
With these remarks, the serious atmosphere on the bridge seemed to have eased a bit, and everyone was no longer so desperate.
"No, you underestimated the evolution speed of Devouring Swarm. Have you forgotten that Swarm Fleet almost defeated the two hundred thousand Antilians. Antilians thought it was impregnable Cadian." Chen Hui's voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm.
"Based on the latest combat power, one million Swarm Fleet. Unless the three major Permanent Members of the Security Council put all their strength into it, it will be difficult to stop it." Chen Hui then said something that made everyone's hearts sink.
"Now, in the war with Devouring Swarm, the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed. We are not going to expel Swarm, but Swarm is coming to find us."
The crowd that was excited just now fell into a dead silence. After a long time, Zhang Zihao opened the conversation, "Dr. Chen, it is impossible for us to go home without Hyperspace Route. This place is 10,000 light years away from Homeworld."
"Now there is only one way to ask for the help of that terrifying intelligent insect, just like it did in Cadian, negotiate with its own kind and let us pass safely."
"This..." Chen Hui's eyes widened, "Can this be done?"
"Dr. Chen!" Zhang Zihao's voice rose one level, "Peacemaker alone has a total of 300,000 people including soldiers, engineers, doctors, scientists, etc. A frigate requires twenty operators, Destroyer has two hundred people, Cruiser has fifteen hundred people, and Battleship has five thousand people."
"The expedition fleet has a total of 25,000 warships of various types, with a total number of more than 20 million. Dr. Chen, everyone who can set foot on a warship is an elite in civilization."
"One Titan-class Warship, three Main Fleet, the loss of 20 million elites. Sapphire Civilization cannot afford such a price. Our civilization will not only fall from the seat of Non-Permanent Member of the Security Council, but will even become a second-rate civilization."
"But... can this be done? Nalga, she is just a captured intelligence Zerg." Although Chen Hui understands the seriousness of the matter, she still doesn't want to believe it, why should she put her hope on Nalga? One person can't save the world, but just one Zerg?
"Dr. Chen!!" Zhang Zihao's voice seemed to shatter the screen of the personal terminal in front of him.
"We... we have no hope. Stellaris Council will not send reinforcements to support us, and we cannot find a place to supply supplies. The front is the area where Swarm is most severely ravaged, and the rear is more than a million Swarm Fleet!"
"You are kind, and you don't want everyone here to die miserably. Only you can create a miracle, just like you did in Cadian."
On the way back to his room, Zhang Zihao's words kept echoing in Chen Hui's mind.
Chen Hui certainly doesn't want anyone in the expedition fleet to die. If possible, she doesn't want anyone to die. No, she doesn't want any life to die, including Zerg.
But, can she really do it? After getting along with Nalga for a long time, she knows that Nalga has reservations about her, and is smarter and more knowledgeable than her. Why should she ask Nalga to betray her own race for her own sake?
Chen Hui, who is in a contradiction, feels great pressure. On one side is the expectation of everyone and 20 million lives, on the other side is a smart and wise person with whom she wants to be friends.
Chen Hui Before she could figure out what to do, the metal hatch of the room was already in front of her.
