Chapter 314 A Rare Opportunity

People saw that the space carrier of the fifth-level civilization flew a certain distance outside the solar system using conventional propulsion methods, and then suddenly disappeared.

The moment it disappeared, human scientists observed that the stars near it seemed to twinkle.

This phenomenon has been documented but not studied in depth. Because everyone knows it's impossible to figure out.

Time passed slowly, and several years later, the ruling committee finally received the message from Lu Xinghe.

"We have arrived at the WE-224 galaxy."

"be careful."

Han Yang gave a special warning. His computing power is also paying attention here in real time.

There's no reason why Han Yang isn't worried. After all, when they first communicated with Ziyun Civilization, the behavior of those Ziyun people was really weird.

"Please rest assured, head of state, I understand."

At this moment, the human fleet has completed its departure operation. The fifth-level civilization space carrier has disappeared again and it is unknown where it went, but the Ziyun fleet has not yet arrived.

Lu Xinghe was not in a hurry, and just started the preliminary investigation work step by step, and maneuvered to the predetermined direction based on the coordinate data given by Yinmeng.

At this moment, it was the first time that a human fleet had left such a long distance from the sun.

The sun has truly turned into the most ordinary star among the stars in the sky, and there is nothing unusual about it.

In fact, the Sun seen from this distance has an apparent magnitude of only 10.5, and the lowest brightness star that the human eye can see is magnitude 6.

The higher the equal number, the dimmer the planet.

That is to say, the human eye cannot see the sun at this distance at all, and must rely on a telescope to see it.

The WE-224 star, at a distance of about 500 billion kilometers at this moment, has an apparent magnitude of -9.5, which is approximately 110 times as bright as Venus at its brightest, enough to illuminate a person in the dark space. Come out as a shadow.

Looking at the distant bright star 500 billion kilometers away, at the small rocky planet, and the faint mountains and rivers on the rocky planet, Lu Xinghe snorted coldly in his heart: " The leeks that have not grown yet need to be carefully protected.”

Not only him, but all high-level human beings believe that the real purpose of the Silver Alliance to protect low-level civilizations is to create a steady stream of exploitation objects for the five major and sixth-level civilizations.

When humans grow leeks, they still have to water and fertilize, let alone these low-level civilizations.

Lu Xinghe had no desire to visit that low-level civilization. What was happening at the moment was just a simple mission for him. After finishing the job, he quickly went home.

Not long after waiting, a star in the distance of the fleet suddenly flickered. Immediately afterwards, Lu Xinghe received a message from Yue Lun, the commander of Ziyun Fleet. The two sides then converged and started a meeting.

In this meeting, the high-level military personnel of both sides were equally enthusiastic. It can be seen that Ziyun Civilization also has the expectation to successfully complete this mission and is willing to make its own efforts to achieve this goal.

Logically speaking, this was a very successful meeting. The two sides basically divided their respective rights and responsibilities, defense areas, tasks and obligations, and the conversation was relatively pleasant, with no conflicts. But Lu Xinghe still felt that these Ziyun people in front of him were a little strange.

He always seems hesitant to speak and seems slightly unnatural.

The doubts in Lu Xinghe's heart became even greater.

The fleets of both sides separated and dispersed a large number of satellite reconnaissance forces to begin a comprehensive search of this star field.

Half a year later, both sides finally found traces of the stone beast army about 600 billion kilometers away from the star.

There are things like irregular asteroids suspended one after another in the vast and empty space. Some of them are large and some are small. The largest one has a diameter of more than ten meters and an estimated mass of about 4,000 tons, which is larger than the largest pterosaur. Small ones only have a mass of a few hundred tons, or even a dozen tons.

The total number is around 120 million.

At this moment, they are still immersed in a state similar to hibernation, and are not aware of the exploration of the outside world.

However, the two sides did not launch an attack. Both sides still stood still, with the large army of stone beasts as the center of the ball, and continued to search the surrounding area, striving to find all the stone beasts, and not miss any one before launching an attack.

This took a full year, and in the end, hundreds of thousands more stone beasts that had strayed from the main force were found.

It wasn't until they could no longer be found that both fleets launched an attack together.

In an instant, the automated attack equipment and armed satellites that had been arranged in advance, as well as a total of about 20,000 warships, fired tens of millions of energy cannon projectiles.

A swarm of stone beasts powerful enough to exterminate a second-level civilization had no power to fight back before being attacked by energy cannon projectiles that completely surpassed the level of a second-level civilization. In an instant, at least a million stone beasts were torn to pieces and died.

The sleeping stone beasts woke up one after another, facing the vast space, and let out silent roars. The thrusters based on the ion propulsion principle that evolved in the body began to push their huge bodies to move quickly, rushing towards the battleships one after another.

The human fleet and Ziyun fleet were not in any disorder, and they still maintained rapid and efficient killing.

There is no way, after all, this is the fleet of a third-level civilization that has mastered energy cannon and energy shield technology.

Even if the stone beast is already very powerful, so powerful that it almost exceeds the limits of the physical body, it can still be crushed.

It was a one-sided massacre.

What worries Lu Xinghe most is not the threat that the stone beasts may pose to his side, but what to do if a stone beast escapes. For this reason, both sides had to deploy a large number of observation and blocking forces at the edge of the battlefield, which seriously slowed down the speed of extermination. Otherwise, the killing efficiency could be even higher.

In this efficient killing, the encirclement gradually narrowed. Seeing that only about 10% of the stone beasts were left, the mutation increased sharply.

At the core of the stone beast cluster, a giant stone beast that weighed at least 3,000 tons suddenly roared silently, and tens of thousands of stone beasts around it immediately gathered towards it, body to body, layer by layer, forming a big ball.

The stone beasts behind the big ball consumed their energy and working fluid at all costs, desperately pushing the big ball to accelerate forward.

When the energy and working fluid are exhausted, these stone beasts will take the initiative to leave the big ball, and wait for death directly without moving, and the rest of the stone beasts with sufficient energy and working fluid will come to take over their duties.

Gradually, the size of the big ball is getting smaller and smaller, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Realizing this, Lu Xinghe immediately ordered the nearby warships to concentrate their firepower and attack fiercely.

But the stone beasts on the outer layer directly used their bodies as armor to block all the fierce firepower. Even if they died, they would use their bodies to protect their companions!

Seeing that the big ball was about to break out of the encirclement. However, once the blockade was broken, the stone beast cluster would disperse again. In this vast and dark universe, it would be very difficult to find something with a maximum diameter of only more than ten meters, even with the technological strength of the third-level civilization.

At that time, there might really be a fish that slipped through the net. And that primary civilization is so fragile that it is possible that only one stone beast can destroy it.

If the mission fails, not only will no silver coins be earned, but also a fine from the Silver Alliance!

Yue Lun, the commander of the Purple Cloud Fleet, was worried, and his originally fair face became even more bloodless.

The two civilizations prosper together and suffer together!

At the critical moment, Lu Xinghe remained calm in the face of danger.

"32 Squadron, 66 Squadron, speed up the interception! Automated combat forces, stop fighting, operate the turrets and satellites to speed up, and ram them! Directly ram them!"

"Yes!"

The turrets and satellites can't penetrate your defense for the time being? It doesn't matter, I won't fight, I'll ram them directly! I'll use the kinetic energy of the collision to slow down your speed and buy time for the follow-up pursuit fleet to arrive! When the big army arrives, it will be useless for you to stack up more layers of corpses!

Seeing this scene, Yue Lun not only did not relax, but became more worried.

"Dear Commander Lu, your tactics are indeed very sophisticated, but I need to remind you that withdrawing two of your squadrons may lead to insufficient defense of the original airspace."

Lu Xinghe smiled confidently: "Please rest assured, Commander Yue Lun."

Sure enough, just as Lu Xinghe expected, the human fleet executed Lu Xinghe's tactics excellently.

After being hit hard by the turrets and satellites and slowing down, the warships of the two squadrons followed and launched a fierce attack on it, directly reducing its size by more than half. After that, the two squadrons did not fight at all, and did not even slow down, but flew straight past the location of the stone beast ball and penetrated directly into the opponent's defense zone!

The two squadrons directly changed their defenses, and during this change, the unstoppable stone beast ball stopped and was directly annihilated by the original defense force.

The whole process was extremely smooth, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.

"Beautiful!"

In the flagship of the Purple Cloud Fleet, Commander Yue Lun couldn't help but slap the table and stood up, full of admiration for the human commander.

At the same time, his competitive spirit was also aroused.

Can your human fleet do it? Our Purple Cloud Fleet can do it too!

It's a pity that there is no opportunity for the Purple Cloud Fleet to show it now.

As the battle drew to an end, the stone beast cluster became more and more crazy. With another volley, perhaps the stone beasts realized that it was the last moment, and the remaining millions of stone beasts suddenly gathered together, each forming a large ball after another, a full thousands of them, breaking out in different directions.

At this moment, Yue Lun was not surprised but happy.

Finally, there is a chance to show off!

More than 10,000 Ziyun warships, supported by huge automated combat facilities, launched a frequent maneuver that made Lu Xinghe a little dazzled.

Lu Xinghe knew that such complex coordination and such complex comprehensive maneuvers required extremely high overall command. As long as there is a mistake in one place, there may be loopholes, causing hundreds or thousands of stone beasts to break out of the encirclement, creating countless troubles in the future.

His heart was also lifted. (End of this chapter)
