Just when Jiang Xingchen set off with his direct fleet of 10,000 warships.
Somewhere in sextant a.
Countless silver-white attacks are constantly passing through the void.
And the entire space became somewhat fragmented as a result.
This is the first time that the Federation fleet has faced off against a true fifth-level technological civilization.
"How's it going? Has communication been restored?"
"No, Brigadier. The unknown particles spread by the other party have completely blocked our quantum communication."
Shaking his head, the communications officer said.
Originally, almost everyone believed that quantum communication could not be interfered with or blocked.
In addition, with the Federation's quantum communication technology, almost no delay communication can be achieved even if they are millions of light years apart.
Therefore, for a long time, even in the past few years, the Federation has developed a subspace communication technology in the process of deepening the development of space technology.
But it is a new technology after all, and the communication cost is several times higher.
Therefore, even this technology can break through the distance limit of quantum communication and have a lower delay.
However, except for the Pixiu-class strategic reconnaissance ship and the two new battle stars, the federal fleet has not replaced this technology on a large scale.
As a result, after the Fourth Legion's quantum communication was blocked, it completely lost its long-distance communication capabilities.
And cannot report the situation here to the headquarters.
"Science Officer, what is that thing? Have you analyzed it?"
Looking at the unknown phenomenon like a deep cave in the observation screen in front of him, Mu Qianshan asked.
However, the science officer in the bridge team shook his head.
No clue at all.
"Brigadier General, although I don't know what this is, it shouldn't be man-made."
"You mean, this is like a wormhole, something naturally born in the universe?"
"Yes!"
The science officer nodded.
Mu Qianshan frowned.
Regardless of what this thing was, he knew that if this continued, the entire Fourth Army would probably be handed over here.
When we first encountered this unknown civilization, the opponent only had 4,000 warships.
Since he could not identify which civilization the other party belonged to, Mu Qianshan kept a cautious eye.
Instead of annihilating them all, they deliberately let go of about 200 warships to track and find their lair.
After all, the Fourth Army has been here for several months.
Although there is still a lot of finishing work to be done, the situation of the entire Sextant A has long been clearly understood, and there is no such civilization.
Moreover, although we only had a fleet of 3,000 warships at the time, we defeated 4,000 of the opponent's ships while losing 700 warships.
but...
But those 3,000 battleships are all Pangu-class battleships.
If it were a fourth-level civilization, Mu Qianshan was confident that he would not lose a single battleship, so he would defeat them.
However, he actually lost more than 700 warships.
The most important thing is that the opponent also has space shields and space weapons just like our own.
If its energy system didn't seem to be powerful, I'm afraid my losses would have been even greater.
In short, after following this fleet for a day, Mu Qianshan came here and discovered that this wormhole is not like a wormhole, and the space transmission channel is not like a space transmission channel. I don’t know what it is.
After destroying more than two hundred enemy warships, I thought that was the end of the matter.
But he didn't expect that warships would arrive one after another from the cave.
Although, the other two fleets of the Fourth Army have also arrived, and together with our own, there are more than 8,000 Pangu-class battleships.
But the opponent's waves were almost every day. Sometimes there were three thousand warships, and sometimes there were five thousand warships.
There is no pause.
After each defense, the Fourth Army would suffer a lot of losses.
Adding up all this, in five or six days, the loss of the Fourth Army...
There are almost 2,000 warships.
This is still in the case of blocking the door and using more to defeat less every time.
If it were placed in a normal encounter, I am afraid that my entire legion would be wiped out.
"Commodore, this is not the way to go. Even if the headquarters immediately sends a fleet to support us because of our loss of contact, the straight-line distance from the Sculptor dwarf galaxy to here is more than 4 million light-years, and it will not take more than a month to arrive.
No."
"And the enemy's follow-up fleets are still arriving, and they are still of the same size every time. I'm afraid we can support them for another ten days at most."
"So I suggest that after defeating this wave of enemy fleets, give up immediately and exit Sextant A."
On the side, the adjutant said slightly anxiously.
As the Fourth Army continues to reduce its numbers, its numerical advantage is also constantly being weakened, and the continued reduction in numbers also means that the number of people in each subsequent battle will be reduced...
There will be more and more every time.
Until the numerical advantage is completely lost, or even turned into a disadvantage, the destruction of the Fourth Army is not far away.
Therefore, in order to prevent the complete destruction of the Fourth Army, the adjutant believes that the best way is to directly evacuate the sextant and then make plans.
However...
Mu Qianshan shook his head.
"We can hold on now because of our defense and numerical advantage."
"But once we evacuate from here, the fleet of this unknown civilization will be far away from any obstacles and will continue to arrive here."
"Have you ever thought about it, if they gather tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 warships here, even if the entire pioneering fleet comes over, they may not be able to fight against them."
"So, we have to hold on here for a longer time. If so many days have passed, if my guess is correct, the headquarters reinforcements should already be on the way."
"And all we have to do is try every means possible to hold them back for longer."
After hearing this, the adjutant said no more.
Because he understood that what Mu Qianshan said was correct.
Maybe the enemy's warships are weaker than the Pangu-class, but if they gather more than 100,000 warships, then the more than 30,000 Pangu-class ships of the pioneering fleet will be defeated equally.
Therefore, even if the entire Fourth Legion is destroyed here, we must gain more time and destroy more of the opponent's warships at the same time.
after all...
Ten days.
Use the Fourth Legion's thousands of battleships to replace the opponent's tens of thousands of battleships.
No matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective thing.
The remaining question is...
How to make use of limited war resources and last longer.
If it really doesn't work...
"Commodore, the power system of our Pangu-class battleship is a set of zero-point energy modules."
"so what?"
"So...Essentially, every Pangu-class battleship is a zero-point energy bomb!"
...
...
"You should know that the zero-point energy module on the Pangu-class battleship is only the standard version, not the modified zero-point energy bomb, and cannot be activated by simple overloading."
After a moment of silence, Mu Qianshan said seriously.
"Yes, Brigadier General, but the principle of the zero-point energy bomb is different from other weapons. It only needs to let the zero-point particles leak out and make contact with the universe."
"You mean, take the initiative to break the shell of the zero-point module?"
"Yes, although this kind of shell is made of silver core ore and is very special, in theory it can be done with just one space cut."
"Did you know that the zero-point energy module is the size of a palm. If you want to hit it accurately, the attacking warship must be very close. And at such a close distance, even if the zero-point energy module is successfully hit, the attacking warship will not be able to hit the zero-point energy module successfully.
There is also no time to evacuate."
Mu Qianshan's voice suddenly became much louder.
He could understand what his adjutant was talking about.
To put it bluntly...
That's a suicide attack!
Mu Qianshan could accept the death of his subordinates in the war, but launched a suicide attack and asked his subordinates to die.
At this time, he really couldn't accept it.
"I understand that with every attack, we have to lose two battleships, and we have to leave the necessary basic personnel on one of them, but..."
"Brigadier General, this is the only way we can hold on longer!"
