Whenever the giant insects use their massive size to knock the Reaper aside, new Reaper will take their place, preventing the swarm from affecting the innermost antimatter star.
Although the swarm is currently dense, it has not yet reached its optimal moment. Once the swarm is too far apart, its energy will be blocked by layers of barriers, reducing the impact force and affecting the killing effect.
" Gemini Civilization Fleet, please hurry!" Wen Zhonghua urged.
"We are already working at full speed, please hold on for another month."
"First, move the nearby stars over to create the initial impact, reducing the direct pressure on the Crystal Civilization and the Xuan Star Civilization."
"Yes, Chief of Staff Wen. The nearest one will arrive in just three days, totaling 300,000 units."
"According to the plan, we're to arrange them in a dense plane, then explode them simultaneously to force the swarm to the center. The pressure on us is immense; if we continue, we'll have no choice but to detonate the antimatter star prematurely."
"I will arrive within three days."
" Crystal Civilization, Xuan Star Civilization, can they withstand a direct confrontation?"
"Don't worry, we have control of the frontal space. Although the swarm is fearless in its charge, it won't be able to get past us even a single step."
"The energy transport ship has arrived behind you. After we detonate the antimatter star, take advantage of the gaps in the swarm's chaos to replenish your energy."
"Good."
Although the Crystal Civilization and the Xuan Star Civilization spoke lightly, Wen Zhonghua knew that the pressure on the front lines was immense, and the fact that the Reaper had attracted a portion of the Zerg swarm did little to alleviate the pressure on the front lines.
If this were a region with a high density of stars, the required number of stars would have already been transported, and it wouldn't have taken more than two months to gather enough.
Thanks to the efforts of the Gemini Civilization and Aquila Civilization, 300,000 stars were divided into two groups and arranged on the flanks of the swarm. After transporting a portion of the stars, the warships quickly cleared out the sparse swarm on the flanks and continued to move the stars closer to the center of the swarm. The swarm seemed to have noticed the sudden increase in the number of stars and began to concentrate its forces to block the fleet's advance.
The Gemini Civilization's fleet was of average combat strength. Although it was also Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization, it was far inferior to the Crystal Civilization. Wen Zhonghua secretly rejoiced that he had not deployed the Gemini Civilization's fleet on the front lines, but instead chose the Crystal Civilization's fleet, which he was relatively familiar with.
To Wen Zhonghua and Hu Yu's surprise, the previously unknown Aquila Civilization displayed formidable combat power. After moving the star's warships, they immediately engaged in battle. Wherever the warships went, the insect swarm retreated as if they had encountered something incredibly terrifying, and were annihilated by the Aquila Civilization's fleet. Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua watched for a long time but still couldn't understand what was going on.
The youngsters were in Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua's command room, while the other civilization leaders and commanders stayed in their respective civilization's bases.
"You little devils, tell Laozi honestly what's going on, or else... hehehehe." Wen Zhonghua grinned maliciously.
"Chief of the General Staff, this is a technological secret; how can we just reveal it like that?" Number Seven quickly replied.
"Hey, you've gone too far." Wen Zhonghua lifted Number Seven into the air. Number Seven, who was only a meter tall, was no match for Wen Zhonghua. He kicked his legs wildly in the air and yelled.
"Chief of the General Staff, I'm going to tell Academician Xiao that you're bullying us!!!"
"Haha, I won't give you a chance, hurry up and talk." Wen Zhonghua grabbed Number One again, one in each hand like he was lifting radishes. "If you don't talk now, your butts are going to suffer."
"Hey, I'll talk, I'll talk, please put us down." Number One, as the leader of the group, knew he couldn't outmaneuver Wen Zhonghua, so he had no choice but to obediently beg for mercy, leaving Hu Yu to the side unsure whether to laugh or not, so he could only hold it in.
"That's more like it. Why force me to use violence? Get to it quickly."
"Chief of the General Staff, there's nothing special about it. Last time, when the Wind Star Civilization attacked the Xuan Star Civilization, didn't the Wind Star Civilization use a weapon that could shock consciousness? Do you remember?"
"You bunch of kids managed to do this?"
"Although the Fish Horse Star Civilization behind the Wind Star Civilization has a more advanced technological level than us, they still can't compare to us in the study of consciousness. After we learned that consciousness could be used in this way, with the guidance of Academician Xiao, we were able to develop it as well."
"Did you create these things to make it easier to rob people? Confess!"
"Yes, yes, yes, but we received the message before we even found our target, so we rushed over. We didn't have time at all."
"Smack!" Wen Zhonghua slapped Number One's butt. "You brat, you didn't bring out such a good thing sooner, you deserve a beating."
"Ouch, ouch, guys, give it to me..." Realizing the situation was amiss, Number One immediately changed his tune. "Chief of Staff, we didn't know if this stuff would be effective against the Zerg swarm. We only found out after testing it, so don't blame us."
"That seems to make sense. Here's what we'll do: immediately use your fleet to surround the swarm, drive them away, and reduce the size of the swarm, understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand," Number One quickly replied, rubbing his buttocks.
"You kids, hurry up and get the technology over here. We'll make it really powerful and wipe out the swarm."
"I'll give it to you right away, I'll give it to you right away, but..."
"What, is there a problem?" Wen Zhonghua raised his hand again, pretending to spank Number One's buttocks.
"No problem, no problem. It's just that the swarm's Consciousness Field is extremely powerful. Our consciousness impact device is already very well made, many times stronger than the one on Fish Horse Star. Ordinary creatures simply cannot withstand a single impact. But even at full power, it can only make the swarm feel uncomfortable."
"You guys don't need to worry about these things. As the boss, I can't just take your stuff for nothing. Old Hu, how about some compensation for these kids?"
"You robbed them, so you can make your own decision," Hu Yu replied irritably.
"Hmm, let me think... are you interested in 4500 times the speed of light technology?"
"Yes, yes, yes!!!" Number One was practically drooling.
What about Virtual Matter technology?
"Yes, yes, yes!!! Chief of the General Staff, why don't you do it a couple more times, and we'll exchange some more technology." Number One said, sticking his butt out.
Smack! "Dream on! You got what you deserved this time. We can give you the Virtual Matter technology, but you have to hand over half of your production. Agree or don't, forget it."
"Agreed, agreed, no problem."
" Number One, go find Academician Xiao and Academician Zeng immediately and discuss the matter of the consciousness impact instrument with them. The situation in the galaxy is critical right now. If we can increase the instrument's power, even if it's just to directly kill some of the low-level insects, it would be a great achievement. You've done a great service this time," Hu Yu said.
