The war continues, and Zagara's fleet continues to retreat, and seems to be entering the strong magnetic field of the neutron star again.

At this moment, Zhang Han's heart palpitated suddenly. He remembered the battle in which Zagara tried to snipe Kundera, luring Kundera to appear, and then suddenly activated the trap and overturned the card table.

Could this situation be a trap?

While thinking about it, the Swarm fleet of Zhang Han also caught up within the strong magnetic field of the neutron star. The magnetic field of this neutron star is not too strong, but it has already caused great harm to ordinary life.

The combat effectiveness of Zhang Han's Swarm fleet dropped a lot, but what surprised him was that the combat effectiveness of Zagara's fleet dropped even more.

It seems that their specially made carapace has indeed offset the damage of the magnetic field, but the result is that the carapace becomes more fragile. After Cerebrate's calculations, the combat effectiveness of both sides has become closer after entering the magnetic field.

After a brief exchange of fire within the magnetic field, the fleet of Zagara also seemed to have discovered this problem. They began to move in parallel, trying to return to the regular universe area.

Having caught the flaw, Zhang Han was naturally unwilling to let it go. He immediately commanded the fleet to turn to stick to Zagara's fleet, block their way, and continue to kill them.

The current battle loss ratio is much better than before, almost one to one. If the battle continues like this, even if Zagara cannot surround Zagara's fleet, Zhang Han will be able to secure a better victory one day later.

Who likes a narrow victory in a bloody battle if he can have a slight upper hand?

At this time, Zhang Han's heart palpitations became more and more serious. Originally, he was relatively materialistic and felt that the uneasy feeling was a psychological illusion.

But Zhang Han suddenly thought that this was an idealistic galaxy, and Shroud was looking at him. Coupled with his strong mental power, there must be something wrong with this palpitating feeling.

Therefore, Zhang Han abruptly controlled his desire to kill due to the influence of Swarm Network, and thought about what the problem was.

After using multi-line thinking and thinking acceleration, and increasing the computing power through Cerebrate, Zhang Han still can't see where the trap is. It may be that there is insufficient intelligence, or it may be that the tactical gap is too big for him to see through. The most unlikely thing is that there is no trap.

The thoughts in Swarm Network noticed the uneasiness of Zhang Han, and a choice emerged from under the tide of thoughts.

"Overmind is everything to Swarm. Swarm's priority is to protect Overmind's survival."

Now that Zhang Han felt uneasy and in danger, the thoughts in Swarm Network seemed to want to coerce him to evacuate. Swarm's desire to protect Overmind suppressed his desire to kill and fight.

The dominant Swarm fleet began to protect the retreat of the Swarm Leviathan carrying Zhang Han at its core. It no longer blocked the Swarm fleet of Zagara, and no longer fought fiercely with them.

This move obviously alarmed the Swarm fleet of Zagara. They sent out the fang battleships kept inside, trying to come up and bite the Zhang Han fleet to prevent them from evacuating.

It can be seen from this performance that Zhang Han's hunch is right, this is a trap that lures the enemy deep.

Facing the trap, it was meaningless to continue fighting. Zhang Han followed the trend of thought in Swarm Network and began to command his Swarm fleet to retreat in an orderly manner.

A strange scene happened. The Swarm fleet with a small number of Zagara chased the larger Zhang Han Swarm fleet.

Because of the fierce attack formation, Zagara's fleet lost more and faster, but Zhang Han's side was able to effectively preserve its strength and continue to consume its fleet.

The scene before the war is reversed here, but the intensity of the battle has increased again.

Three hours later, Zhang Han's fleet was almost retreating to the entrance of the hyperspace channel. Zagara's fleet was consumed and only 70,000 were left, while Zhang Han still had 240,000 Swarm's fleet.

A mutation occurred, right on the neutron star in this galaxy.

In an instant, this abnormal movement was discovered by Zhang Han who focused all his attention on observing the environment. This was a gravitational anomaly!

What can cause gravitational anomalies to neutron stars!? Neutron stars can be seen as the embodiment of microscopic atoms in the macroscopic world.

The four basic forces are gravity, electromagnetism, weak force, and strong force.

The first two forces have the largest range of influence, are macroscopic forces, and are very easy to observe.

When these two forces reach a certain level, they can be devastating. For example, it is relatively easy to imagine that a star is torn into pieces by huge gravity and magnetism.

The strong force and the weak force are different. They are microscopic forces and are basically not felt at the macroscopic level. However, their strength far exceeds gravity and magnetism. The difference is reflected in mathematics as a dozen zeros, and their strength is like that of a mortal and a golden immortal.

The water droplets in the Three-Body Problem that exploded and killed human civilization were made of powerful materials.

Neutron stars are existences that bring such powerful force from the microscopic level to the macroscopic level. Because in addition to universal gravity, the three major forces can transform into each other, so the magnetic force of neutron stars is extremely strong.

If such a being could be transformed into a battleship, it would basically have invincibility written on its face. The material itself would be indestructible. When attacked, everything that comes close to it would turn into powder.

What kind of force can cause neutrons to produce gravitational anomalies? Zhang Han overloaded his brain, appropriated all Cerebrate, calculated all possibilities, and came up with the greatest possibility.

Zagara is creating a wormhole, just like the wormhole Zhang Han once opened to connect with Stars and the others.

However, last time he only made a short-term wormhole. This time, Zagara is going to open a star gate.

Zagara is coming to find him...

After getting this result, Zhang Han's whole body felt bad. Kundera said well and held Zagara back so that he could grow in peace. Suddenly, the big brother on the opposite side moved to cut off his fragile skin that needed to grow.

Go fight Kundera! What's the point of bullying a crispy guy!

Complaints are complaints. Seeing this situation, Zhang Han did not hesitate. Anyway, he had already retreated to the entrance of the hyperspace channel, so he just started running. If he couldn't fight, how could he still run away?

After leaving tens of thousands of Swarm's fleet behind, Zhang Han led the remaining fleet and immediately jumped into hyperspace, preparing to return to Cadian. Tabi Star's side depends on the abilities of Specialized Cerebrate and Isa. You will be blessed with your own human clone.

Three days later, when Zhang Han jumped out of the hyperspace channel with a fleet of 180,000 Swarm, he received the last communication and some pictures from the troops he had left behind. The Swarm fleet behind him was completely wiped out.

In the picture, his fleet was still fighting cruelly with Zagara's fleet. Suddenly, the neutron star exploded, and a violent energy exploded from the interior of the neutron star, forming a black hole.

This is the prototype of the Star Gate.

The power of the neutron star explosion is far greater than that of the supernova explosion of ordinary stars. The picture instantly turns into the color of only light, and nothing can be seen.
