Star Wars: My battleship can transform

The distance of more than 30,000 light-years is an extremely long distance for human ships that can only make jump voyages, but for the battle stars that can make jump voyages, it is only a blink of an eye.

This is how Qi Yiming felt while standing in the core control area of ​​Battle Star.

The external monitoring equipment installed by Battle Star only temporarily lost its ability to observe the outside world due to the sudden increase in energy level before the jump. When the observation screen was restored, Battle Star had already appeared in an unfamiliar star field with a special fleet. .

If it weren't for the fact that the jump engine needs time to cool down after completing one jump while preparing to recharge for the next jump, Qi Yiming could have brought the fleet to the insect over a distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years in just a few hours. The swarm dominates the galaxy and launches a surprise attack.

After completing the first jump voyage, Qi Yiming released dozens of high-speed reconnaissance ships, extending the warning range of the battle star to 0.5 light minutes.

It's not that there is a problem with the battle star's reconnaissance system, but that after a long-distance precise jump, not only does the jump engine need time to cool down, but even the probe inside the battle star has reduced its detection power due to overheating of the equipment. It can be said that this This is when a battle star is at its most vulnerable.

However, before the plan started, Qi Yiming made detailed calculations on the several stopping points that the battle star would pass through when jumping.

The assault route was not a straight line, but a slight detour.

Even so, Qi Yiming still dared not take it lightly. No one could confirm whether the insect swarm would expand its range of activities. If he was unlucky enough to be encountered by the insect swarm at a certain stopping point, the entire raid plan would lose the effect of a surprise attack.

Perhaps God favored mankind. Qi Yiming and the others were not discovered by the insect swarm despite their many stops. On the contrary, Wang Shuhua and the others fell into a bitter battle after Qi Yiming left.

In particular, the war zone that Ye Lu was responsible for was the one that suffered the greatest pressure from insect swarms.

The insect swarm responsible for attacking Ye Lu's fleet not only had a large number of ordinary insect swarm individuals, but also had a large number of elite units of the insect swarm.

As a result, Ye Lu had to abandon several lines of defense in succession and trade space for time to create time for her fleet to rest and replenish.

Even so, the nearly eight million new warships in Ye Lu's hands were reduced to less than six million after several days of fierce battles with the insect swarms. However, the number of insect swarms Ye Lu faced did not decrease at all. After several days of fighting, there is an increasing trend, especially among the elite troops in the insect swarm.

Fortunately, the New Federation implemented the plan to evacuate the colonies very thoroughly. Each colony abandoned all equipment as soon as it received the order to retreat, only brought some necessary survival supplies and quickly evacuated along the newly built stargate route. Towards the hinterland of the New Federation.

Otherwise, Ye Lu's fleet would suffer even greater losses.

In order to stabilize Ye Lu's defense line, Wang Shuhua, the most commander-in-chief, has assigned all the reserves that he can mobilize to Ye Lu. He hopes that she can hold on for a few more days, because there are several ultimate defense lines in the new federal military plan. Only 64% is currently complete, and it will take at least a week to complete all deployments.

The extension of the project cycle has turned a battle of fighting and retreating into a fueling tactic. The mid-level and senior officers under Ye Lu have been replaced one after another. The rate of loss of mid-level and high-level commanders has completely exceeded the expectations. Ye Lu's prediction.

However, even after paying such a heavy price, Ye Lu was still unable to slow down the advancement of the enemy in front of him, and quickly retreated to the hinterland of the New Federation at an average rate of abandoning ten pairs of star gates per day.

Wang Shuhua, who was responsible for the entire battle, had no choice but to keep an eye on the construction progress of the ultimate defense line while constantly replenishing Ye Lu's battle losses. Whenever he found that the progress of the project was slightly delayed, he would contact Wang Tao, who was responsible for the construction task, to inquire about the situation. .

At this time, Wang Tao was ready to die. He had already dispatched all the engineering fleets under his command. Huge industrial ships were deployed by Wang Tao on the front line to conduct equipment production on site.

All the large transport spacecraft accumulated by the New Federation over the past few decades have been mobilized to transport shiploads of minerals to industrial ships through the Stargate route. However, even so, industrial ships will still fall into production every once in a while. The embarrassment of insufficient supplies had to reduce production efficiency.

Seeing this situation, Wang Shuhua sighed: "The New Federation's financial resources are still too thin. If we are given a few more decades, not to mention completely blocking the insect swarm from the territory, at least there will be no need to use human lives now." Go buy time for the engineering fleet at the rear."

Qiao Shan, who was in charge of the other direction, was also anxious. If Ye Lu's fleet continued to play like this, they would have to fill in all the reserves without waiting for the defense line to be established.

"We can't go on like this." Qiao Shan quickly connected to Wang Shuhua's communication: "We must change the plan and concentrate our efforts to complete the construction of a defense line first. Otherwise, all the fleets in Ye Lu's hands will have to be filled in before the defense line is completed."

"Originally, it was planned that the completion time of the three lines of defense would not exceed two days, but who would have thought that the insect attacks would be so ferocious, and they are not at the same level as the insect swarms we encountered in the past." Wang Shuhua said with a sad look on his face. .

"It's not too late to change the plan now. If Ye Lu's side really reaches the point of running out of resources, it will be too late to say anything." Qiao Shan urged.

Wang Shuhua thought for a while and then connected to Wang Tao's communication: "Wang Tao, give up the construction of the first line of defense, send all the things that can be used to the second line of defense, and concentrate all efforts to complete the second line of defense in the shortest time. ”

"The first line of defense already has many defensive facilities that are permanent fortifications and cannot be dismantled..."

"Leave them as they cannot be demolished. If necessary, we will rely on these permanent fortifications to resist for a while and buy time for your engineering fleet."

Wang Tao also knew that the situation was urgent, but he was somewhat unwilling to do so. After all, without a line of defense, human resistance would be much more difficult.

However, the situation was such that he couldn't help but think too much. As soon as he received the order, Wang Tao began to organize the engineering fleet to attack the second line of defense, leaving only a small part of the engineering construction on the first line of defense to be responsible for the nearly completed defenses. Once completed, it will at least give the fleet an extra boost when relying on the first line of defense.

As the engineering fleet withdrew, Ye Lu also received the order to retreat.

Although the order did not allow her to immediately retreat to the first line of defense, she could finally gradually reduce her contact with the insect swarm troops facing her, reduce the high battle damage rate, and save more combat power for humans.

Compared with the human defense fleet, Qi Yiming's actions were much smoother. After several jumps, Battle Star and the special fleet had bypassed the area occupied by the insect swarm and approached the territory of the former Human Federation from another direction.

Judging from the star map, Qi Yiming's raid fleet only needs to perform one more jump to suddenly appear in the galaxy where the insect swarm dominates and launch an attack.
