The sudden retreat of the insect swarm made Qi Yiming always feel that there must be some conspiracy, so the two fleets supporting the battle star did not leave after the insect swarm withdrew.
Time flies, it’s February of the 34th year of the New Calendar.
Qi Yiming, who originally thought that the insect swarm would still attack the battle star, suddenly received news from the New Federation Military Headquarters.
A large number of insect swarms launched attacks from all directions of the Federation.
If Qi Yiming hadn’t always required all border fleets to maintain the highest alert status, and all combat posts must be manned 24 hours a day, then the insect swarm’s attack would have been discovered at the first time, and the insects would have been blocked in the border system.
On the contrary, there was no movement in the galaxy where the battle star was located.
This situation couldn’t be clearer. The swarm master is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the ultimate goal is still the battle star.
But what if Qi Yiming sees through the swarm master’s plan?
Information from various battlefields sent from the military showed that the number of insect swarms faced by each defense line was extremely large. Even if all the federal fleets were pressed up, they might not be able to prevent the insect attack.
What’s more, there are two main fleets of the New Federation accompanying the battle star.
In desperation, Qi Yiming could only give up the current mission of Battle Star and return to the New Federation territory along the star gate route.
However, Qi Yiming commanded the war stars to pass through the two star gates when a warning came from the engineering fleet ahead of them that was performing the task of constructing the star gates. They also discovered that a large number of insect swarms were approaching the star gate that was under construction.
After receiving the report from the engineering fleet, Qi Yiming did not hesitate to order them to retreat along the already built star gate.
But when Qi Yiming watched the signs representing the star gates on the star map dim one by one, he felt anxious.
A giant building like the Star Gate is an extremely valuable asset even for the current New Federation. How could Qi Yiming not feel distressed if it could be destroyed by the insect swarm so easily?
In the end, Qi Yiming could only ask the New Federation Military Department to urgently allocate a group of defensive forts and set up defensive positions five star gates away from the battle star. He would command the battle star to retreat until the temporary defense line could be established. Only when the battle star provides sufficient fire support will he command the battle star to push to the defense line.
As for the remaining two fleets, they will go to their respective theaters to perform combat missions as originally planned.
The forts are all ready-made. They only need to be transported to the destination by giant transport ships and anchored directly according to the defense line, so it does not take much time to set up the temporary defense line.
Qi Yiming commanded the pursuit forces of the battle stars and the insect swarm to deal with each other hard. Even though the high-energy particle oscillation position weakened the insect swarm, the number of the insect swarm really exceeded Qi Yiming’s imagination.
The master of the insect swarm seems to have given a death order. As long as all the insects see the battle star, even if they are alone, they will attack the battle star without hesitation.
Qi Yiming was forced to use the fan-shaped strategy of high-energy particle vibration several times to instantly clear the insect swarm surrounding her. Only then did she find the opportunity to enter the star gate and temporarily break away from the insect swarm.
Although Qi Yiming’s situation seems dangerous, it is actually under Qi Yiming’s control.
But the only thing that makes Qi Yiming feel strange is why the insect is so unyielding to Zhan Xing?
According to the wisdom of the insect swarm master, it is impossible for it to know that it is extremely difficult to suppress her through sheer numbers, let alone sink the battle star. Even if it wants to trap her somewhere, it is extremely difficult.
But even so, the bugs will still attack the battle stars one after another. Why is this?
After once again getting rid of the swarm of insects, Qi Yiming took advantage of the gap between the battle stars to pass through the star gate and carefully reviewed the attack of the insect swarm.
More than half a month has passed since the swarm first launched its attack.
In the past half month, the directions of the various war zones of the New Federation cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is impossible for the insect swarm to form a breakthrough in a short period of time.
Of course, this is indispensable for the human fleet’s fearless combat, but the release of water by the insect swarm intentionally or unintentionally is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
According to Qi Yiming’s understanding of the insect swarms, the insect swarms rarely launch such flooding attacks.
It will definitely bloom at multiple points while forming an absolute advantage at every point, thereby forming a breakthrough on the human front.
But until now, Qi Yiming had not seen where the insect swarm master was going to break through the human defense line. Instead, he did what was undoubtedly necessary to break through the defense line over and over again, which was to let a large number of insect swarms rush towards the battle star like a death blow.
“I always feel that the bugs have other motives for launching this raid…” Qi Yiming frowned and looked at the battlefield situation map in front of him that included all the war zones.
“Isn’t their goal the battle star? Why bother with something so clear?” Zhang Lei, who was standing aside, said with an indifferent expression.
Qi Yiming nodded first, and then shook his head, showing he was extremely troubled.
Zhang Lei couldn’t help but frown: “Is it possible that the Lord wants to test the limits of the battle star’s firepower?”
“With the assistance of the high-energy particle oscillation stance, how could the insect swarm possibly test the limits of the battle star’s firepower?”
“Didn’t I force you to use large-scale attacks several times? There was even a time when I started the warp engine and escaped from the battlefield.”
“That’s me deliberately exposing the flaw in order to cause as much damage to the insect swarm as possible.”
“It’s impossible for the insect swarm to adapt to the attack rhythm of the battle star if it attacks so desperately, right?” Zhang Lei said casually.
When Qi Yiming heard these words, his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
He slapped himself hard: “I’m so stupid. Why didn’t I think of such an important thing earlier?”
Zhang Lei was startled by Qi Yiming’s sudden action: “Are you crazy? What are you doing to slap yourself?”
Qi Yiming turned around and gave Zhang Lei a big hug, and then said excitedly to Zhang Lei, who was already blushing: “You are so smart…but you helped me a lot!!”
Zhang Lei was still a little confused. She didn’t understand what Qi Yiming meant: “What are you talking about? What’s wrong, I did you a big favor?”
“Wait, I need to confirm again before I can tell you.”
Qi Yiming then quickly adjusted the combat parameters of the previous battles, paying particular attention to the time it took for each insect swarm to be killed under the influence of the high-energy particle oscillation position.
After Zhinao’s screening, the results were quickly placed in front of Qi Yiming.
When the insect swarm first raided the battle star, the average time it took for an individual insect to be killed after entering the high-energy particle oscillation position was 32 seconds.
The average kill time for the second raid was 32.22 seconds.
The third time it increased to 32.73 seconds.
As the number of attacks on battle stars increases, the time it takes for human weapons to kill individual insect swarms also becomes longer.
Until the last battle, the time it took for humans to kill individual bugs that entered the high-energy particle oscillation position had increased to 33.35 seconds.
Seeing this, Qi Yiming’s hair stood up all over his body, and a large amount of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
