Now, all the planet fragments have been sent into the space transmission ring, next.
Just wait for these fragments to arrive at Leopold's defense line along the space transmission channel, and the entire operation will be completed.
In terms of time, it's about 23 hours.
At the same time, on the battlefield fifty light years away.
Although the loss in number of the insect swarm was not large, not even 20%.
but...
The loss in quality is quite terrifying.
The leader of the insect group died.
All swarm leaders are also dead.
Even the female insect leader who exists as a basic command level...
At this moment, there are less than 3,000 left.
It can be said that the command system of this insect group has completely collapsed.
After all, the number of insect mounds that the mother insect leader can command at the same time is limited.
These less than 3,000 female insect leaders can only control less than 30% of the insect group.
The most important thing is that the eleven hunting groups commanded by Jiang Xingchen are still continuing.
Like an assassin, he always appears suddenly somewhere in the insect group, kills the mother insect leader in an instant, and then disappears immediately.
In this regard, these female insect leaders have no choice at all.
Very frustrated.

"Commander, the fleet responsible for towing the fragments of the planet, the two thousand warships have completed their mission, do you want to transfer them here to increase the firepower of the outermost circle?"
In the communication, Shangguan Ningxue, the commander of the support fleet, asked Jiang Xingchen.
"No, two thousand battleships can't destroy many ordinary Zerg in one day. There are currently 2,800 Zhurong-class battleships in the outer circle to put pressure, which is enough."
"Now there are still 23 hours until the end of the entire battle. Let them continue to stand by. If an unexpected situation occurs later, they can also be used as a surprise force."
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
Killing some ordinary bugs has no practical significance for the entire battle.
The outer circle was not originally designed to eliminate the effective forces of the Starry Sky Zerg.
Therefore, there is no need to deploy those two thousand battleships.
"clear!"
At this moment, Shangguan Ningxue gained some new understanding of this fleet commander who was several decades younger than herself.
The purpose is clear, the action is decisive, and do not do anything meaningless.
Not to mention doing unnecessary things just to get some results.
Always remain calm and always have a backup plan for yourself.
Shangguan Ningxue was very satisfied with such a person becoming his immediate boss.
that's all...
The entire fleet still followed the established battle plan, hunting down the female insect leaders one after another.
until...
Ten hours later.
"Commander, ship No. 775 has discovered the enemy, 78 light years away."
"What size?"
"Since there are still nearly 30 light years away from the No. 775 ship, the deep space radar cannot detect it accurately, but the number will definitely not be less than three insect groups, and at the same time..."
"At the same time what?"
"According to the report from ship No. 775, a huge energy reaction was detected, and its energy intensity was at least ten times that of the leader of the insect group."
Ten times more than the leader of the insect group...
Could it be that what I said to myself before was so effective?
"Notify Fleet No. 775 to get as close as possible to the opponent's insect group while ensuring an absolutely safe distance, and be sure to obtain detailed reconnaissance information."
"Yes, Commander!"
------
Fifty light years away from the battlefield.
Pangu-class battleship with hull number 00775.
Inside the bridge.
"Captain, received the latest instructions from the Star."
"How to say?"
Hearing this, Captain Wang Xiaodong asked.
"The commander asked us to obtain detailed information about the target while maintaining an absolutely safe distance."
Absolutely safe distance...
This is not difficult for federal warships.
Because as far as we know so far, the jump behavior of the starry sky Zerg does not break the 9.98 light-year limit of a single trip of scientific and technological civilization.
Therefore, as long as the distance between yourself and the other party is controlled to 9.98 light-years, it is an absolutely safe distance.
But obviously, even if it is 9.98 light years away, it can only be detected using deep space radar.
Maybe the effect will be better than the nearly thirty light-years apart now, but that's it.
It is also impossible to obtain more detailed information.
Jiang Xingchen's mission is to obtain detailed investigation information.
From a normal perspective, this order is contradictory.
That is to say, it is impossible to obtain detailed information of much value while ensuring absolute security.
Of course, this is just common understanding.
It is a kind of stupid pig-like understanding.
Wang Xiaodong raised his eyebrows, not planning to do such a stupid thing.
Because there is another understanding of absolute safe distance.
That is, under certain circumstances, even a distance of tens of light seconds can also become an absolutely safe distance.
And taking advantage of this distance and limited time...
You can complete a close reconnaissance mission.
"Radar officer, how long has it been since the target jumped over?"
"About thirty minutes, Captain!"
"At a distance of ten light years, through deep space radar detection, to what extent can the error in distance be reduced to the minimum?"
He nodded, but then...
Wang Xiaodong asked again.
Hearing this, the radar officer was slightly stunned.
Everyone knows that deep space radar has errors in positioning.
The further the distance, the greater the margin of error.
So, at a distance of ten light years, how big the error will be in positioning coordinates using deep space radar detection?
After thinking about it for a while...
"It should be between 1-100 light seconds."
"Is there any way to reduce this error?"
"Yes, perform multi-directional and complex positioning to reduce errors."
"How many warships are needed to work together?"
"But at least three warships are needed to cooperate in three different directions at the same time. The more the number, the better the effect. If there are more than a hundred warships, the error should be reduced to 1-3 light seconds."
Wang Xiaodong was very satisfied after hearing this answer.
Because of the plan he prepared, an error of 100 light seconds is still too dangerous, and he might get caught if he doesn't do it right.
But if it is reduced to within 3 light seconds, then this plan can be executed perfectly.
"Communications officer, help me get through to the Star. I have important matters that I need to report to the commander."
"Yes, Captain, sending communication request."
------
A few minutes later...
The bridge of the Star.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong's figure has been projected in front of Jiang Xingchen.
"Well, just do as you say, and I will dispatch a squadron to assist you."
After listening to Wang Xiaodong's words, Jiang Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and said immediately.
Wang Xiaodong was also very excited to receive Jiang Xingchen's recognition.
"Yes, Commander!"
"Don't be too happy first. Although your plan is very feasible, you still overlooked one point."
"commander?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment.
Did you overlook anything?
Probably not, this is perfect!
However...
"You ignored the first goal!"
"The first target...Commander, are you talking about the target suspected of being the Prince of the Starry Sky Zerg?"
"Yes, you have to know that we currently know almost nothing about the combat power of the Zerg Prince. A distance of fifty light seconds is absolutely safe? What is the basis?"
"Ah this..."
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong understood what he had overlooked.
Yes, maybe for ordinary starry sky Zerg, or even the leader of the Zerg group, fifty light seconds is enough to ensure absolute safety.
But, what about the prince of the Starry Sky Zerg?
