This hyperspace voyage will stop near a neutron star, then go around the neutron star and enter from the other side.
From the perspective of his previous life as a human, Zhang Han had never seen a neutron star. After becoming Overmind, he often saw the most dangerous stars in the universe, second only to black holes.
The blue neutron star hangs quietly in the universe, extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.
Neutron stars are also formed by the collapse of stars. Gravity presses electrons outside the nucleus into the nucleus, allowing electrons and protons to neutralize into neutrons, thus becoming a neutron star.
Therefore, the shell of a neutron star is extremely hard, and its shape is a very standard circle. It can be imagined as a very smooth large ball composed of precisely arranged balls on a microscopic level.
The density of this big sphere is extremely high. If you were able to knock it off, the mass of a small neutron star fragment that could fit in the palm of your hand might be greater than a 10,000-meter mountain.
If the mass of the collapsed star is large enough and the gravitational force is strong enough so that even the strength of the neutrons cannot resist the compression of the gravitational force, the star may collapse into the densest celestial body in the universe - a black hole.
The last time he passed by this neutron star, Zhang Han did not investigate it carefully. This time it was different. With the example of the Sapphire Fleet's surprise attack, he was a lot more cautious.
Not only will a Overlord, which detects hyperspace vibrations, be dropped at the entrance of the channel every time it passes through a hyperspace channel, but every galaxy it passes will have Overlord and Cerebrate scanned a few more times.
The benefits of caution are revealed. There is something wrong with this galaxy! Far below the neutron star, within the range covered by the electromagnetic pulse, there are massive objects!
Zhang Han immediately scanned it with his powerful spirit. As his mental power continued to scan, he unveiled the things hidden within the electromagnetic pulse range.
That is a Swarm fleet with a size of up to 200,000!
After being discovered by Zhang Han, the Swarm fleet slowly moved out of the range covered by the neutron star's magnetic field and pulse, and headed towards Zhang Han with malicious intentions.
Cerebrate quickly found the answer in the database. This was the ambush of Zagara! It was the specialized Swarm fleet she hatched. It was ambushed within a range that is neither close nor far from the neutron star. It can hide itself and not be harmed by the neutron star.
"Good guy, you are indeed the master tactician Zagara, he is here for me." With the improvement of his mental power, Zhang Han's thinking agility has also become much higher.
Zagara wants to defeat him one by one and eliminate him in a sneak attack. This is obviously not the entire ambush of Zagara. It may be just a part, or part of it to cut off the retreat or block reinforcements.
"My alliance with Kundera has not been made public, so Zagara hurriedly attacked me. It seems there are traps ahead. Prioritize defeating the ambush here, and then proceed cautiously." After that, Zhang Han commanded his Swarm fleet to attack.
As soon as the battle started, Zhang Han discovered something was wrong. His Swarm fleet was inferior in quality to Zagara's fleet. Even if he had the help of the worms, his strength was twice that of Zagara's, and he still had little advantage in combat power.
The specialized fleet specially hatched by Zagara is not only larger in size and has thicker armor, but its shell is also designed to be anti-magnetic. How can I say it? It is indeed a stealth special fleet.
Not only in terms of fleet quality, Zagara's fleet is also more professional and sophisticated in terms of command. It may be because Zagara has more excellent nodes in its hands, or her fleet itself has experienced hundreds of battles.
And Zhang Han is very sure that Zagara is not in the fleet, it is just the node she trained herself to direct the battle, because he cannot use Psionics to locate the command node of the fleet.
It seems that this can only be a tough battle of attrition. Fortunately, he brought a fleet of 400,000 Swarm. If he had only brought 200,000, I am afraid that this ambush would have ended his ambition here.
Zagara's fleet is formed into squares, which are stacked on top of each other like fish scales. They have strong defense and can exert all their long-range firepower. However, the tusk warships, which account for a small proportion of the fleet, are inside the formation and are not dispatched immediately.
In order to give full play to their strength advantage, Zhang Han adopted a formation of pressing in the middle and outflanking the two wings, and sent a large number of fang warships to press forward.
Due to the worm Psionics Enchantment, Zhang Han's tusk battleships are obviously more powerful, and their collision angles and fangs are sharper. Even Zagara's elite Swarm fleet will be killed by their collision.
In order not to be overwhelmed by the tusk warships, Zagara's fleet shot and destroyed the tusk warships while retreating to avoid being surrounded.
In order to gain the formation advantage and make up for the quality disadvantage, Zhang Han had to order his fleet to pursue it harder.
The fleets of both sides began a cruel and bloody meat-cutting battle. A common scene was that the tusk warship with numerous injuries collided with Corruptor, killing it, and was immediately burned into minced meat with acid by Devourer on the side.
Psionics Corruptor took the opportunity to shoot away the exposed Devourer, and then he was covered by the firepower of Brood Lord's acid bombs and plasma bombs.
The sky full of Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes filled every gap in the universe. They either fought together or crashed into each other's high-value Zerg units.
This meat-grinding battle lasted for a whole day, with neither side holding back at all and all attacking with all their might.
The casualties on both sides were also very tragic. Zhang Han's side was slightly better, losing 100,000 Swarm fleet, including half of the Tusk battleships, some Psionics Corruptor and Brood Lord, 80% of Devourer, and only Swarm Leviathan suffered minor losses.
Zagara lost 70,000 Swarm fleet, most of which were Corruptor, Brood Lord, and Devourer were basically wiped out.
As for the losses of self-exploding mosquitoes and Mutalisk, it is difficult to calculate. Their average survival time will not be more than five minutes.
In terms of strategic intent, Zhang Han suffered a slight advantage in battle losses, but it did not complete the siege of the Zagara fleet. Instead, it was pulled away, and the units that suffered damage during the assault suffered very serious losses.
Due to the numerical disadvantage, the Zagara fleet was struggling to support itself, but it fought very well, maintaining a complete front line, and effectively eliminated the effective forces of Zhang Han, and could continue to consume them.
The problem is that the final result is that they will fail and be annihilated by Zhang Han with superior force.
This day of mincing meat made Zhang Han feel that he had learned a lot. In some martial arts novels, he was a stupid young man with extremely high internal strength, fighting against a martial arts master who was missing one hand. Although he was restrained in every way, he generally exercised his skills and learned a lot of experience.
After this battle is over, Zhang Han will definitely review it carefully and learn Zagara's tactical command ability.
