Bi Cha racked his brains, trying to find a way to break through the swarm's encirclement. But the only solution he could come up with was to send some warships out to build Space Barrier around the swarm and attack from both sides. This would allow them to eliminate the swarm in a short time. But how difficult it was to break through the swarm's encirclement!
Two months later, another 2 billion warships were lost, Bi Cha had no choice but to turn its attention to antimatter stars. Antimatter stars are now much less practical, but they have become a symbol of civilization, and their existence represents the efforts and struggles of countless scientists.
The mass of the antimatter star is far greater than the total mass of the swarm. If the antimatter star is moved outside and detonated, the antimatter it ejects will surely consume all the swarm, and the fleet can remain unthreatened within the Space Barrier.
"Chief, I intend to use an antimatter star. Please grant me your approval."
" Bi Cha come to this?"
"Chief, to be honest, the situation is getting worse. Although we've killed eight units of the swarm, our advantage diminishes as the battle progresses. Only by using an antimatter star can we wipe out the entire swarm in one go."
"Won't our outer planets also suffer?"
"Chief, there are no more planets left in the outer regions. The Zerg swarm has already destroyed all of our planets. We only have these 400-odd planets left, but our personnel losses are zero. As long as we kill all the Zerg, it will only take a little more time to recover."
" Bi Cha, do you have a way to move the antimatter star outside the defense perimeter?" Feng Ye asked.
"This is something we have no choice but to risk and try."
" Bi Cha, if the passage opens, the swarm will definitely launch a fierce attack. This place is full of civilians, and the fleet is too dense to operate effectively. Even a small number of swarms will be difficult for us to handle."
"Chief, Mr. Feng Ye, let me tell you the truth. If we continue to maintain the energy output of the Space Barrier, the supply will not be able to keep up in six months. At that time, the entire defense perimeter will collapse, and our losses may be even greater. Right now, we still have 10 billion warships outside, which can barely hold on."
"Barely? Bi Cha. There are at least two or three trillion insects outside. How can we guarantee there won't be any mistakes when facing 200,000 against 200,000? Moving the antimatter star out of the way will create such a huge gap in our defenses. The insect swarm will definitely attack with all their might. How can we cope with that?" Feng Ye asked rhetorically.
"Chief, Mr. Feng Ye, this is a difficult choice. If we open the passage now, the swarm might rush in and threaten our people, but at least we can move the antimatter star out and wipe out most of the swarm in one fell swoop. If we don't open the passage now and wait for our warships to run out of energy, the swarm will be fewer in number, but our vulnerability will be greater, and we will still lose a lot of people."
"So, no matter what, we're going to lose civilians?"
"Yes, we cannot eliminate these swarms until the defensive lines run out of energy."
" Bi Cha, do you think that detonating the antimatter star now would cause less damage to the public?" the leader of Xuan Star asked.
"Chief, actually I don't know the details. The war is very chaotic right now. I just want to eliminate the swarm as quickly as possible."
"I need to think about Bi Cha."
"Yes, Master. Rest assured, Master, not a single worm will get in before the defenses run out of energy."
Bi Cha continued to command this asymmetric war, Bi Cha also wanted to break through some of his warships to the outside of the swarm. Once some warships were outside, they could coordinate with the warships inside to leave the swarm with no way to retreat, and the situation would be completely different.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Bi Cha tried, not a single warship could break through the swarm's three-dimensional encirclement. The more than 3 billion warships that were trapped in the swarm when it descended had all been destroyed by the swarm. If it weren't for the results achieved by these warships, it would have been impossible to eliminate even two units of the swarm.
Since the 3 billion warships were destroyed by the Zerg swarm, the results in the past two months have dropped to only 2 units of Zerg swarm, while the number of warships lost outside the defense line has not decreased much. In the past four months, more than 8 billion warships have been destroyed by the Zerg.
Although the number of Zerg has decreased by half, it is still enormous. If this continues, the warships could indeed wipe out the entire Zerg swarm, but Bi Cha doesn't want to see civilian casualties.
" Old Hu, the situation with the Xuan Star Civilization is not good. More than four months have passed, and the Great Star Region Civilization has not yet appeared. This shouldn't be the case."
"The situation is a bit strange."
"Has the Great Star Region Civilization discovered that we're up to no good?"
"It shouldn't be that bad. We didn't intervene at all. Although the combined fleet is part of our alliance, they are not Small Star Sector Civilization and didn't violate any rules."
"What do we do now? If we continue to wait, the swarm won't threaten the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization civilization."
"Command the Reaper to set out and assist the Xuan Star Civilization in dealing with the Zerg swarm."
"Should we help them deal with the Zerg swarm now? Or should we wait until the power of the Xuan Star Civilization weakens a bit more? They still have over 20 billion warships. If they suddenly attack us without regard for the rules after we eliminate the Zerg swarm, the Reaper will also suffer considerable losses. After all, they have a deep-seated prejudice against us now."
"What we have to face sooner or later, taking action now might actually lessen their hatred."
The Reaper and Stinger immediately sprang into action upon receiving the order. The location was over 1400 light-years from the center of the Xuan Star Civilization's territory, and even at full speed, it would take four months to reach it.
The fleet was immediately detected by reconnaissance satellites as soon as it entered the Xuan Star Civilization's reconnaissance zone, and the information was transmitted in real time to the center of the Xuan Star Civilization's territory.
"Chief, an unfamiliar fleet has been detected a thousand light-years away. It comprises approximately 20 billion ships of all sizes and is currently heading towards us at full speed."
"Is it the Great Star Region Civilization Fleet?"
"No, their speed is only 4000 times the speed of light. They should be Small Star Sector Civilization like ours. Leader, look at these fleets, they seem very familiar?"
"This does seem familiar... Ah!! It's a human!!!"
"Chief, are you sure?"
"It's definitely a human fleet. This construction style is rarely used by other civilizations besides humans, and among the civilizations we have connections with, only humans use this style."
"Taking advantage of their misfortune, Chief? If humans attack them, we'll be in real danger. We're still not sure we can break through their armored defenses."
"Humanity has developed too fast. The last attack on us involved only a billion small warships. Now, just over 20,000 years later, the human fleet has grown to this size, no slower than ours, and perhaps even faster."
"Chief, what do we do now? Should we notify the Great Star Region Civilization again and ask them to stop humanity?"
