There are more than 20,000 warships and more than 100,000 transport ships.
In less than half an hour, they were all reduced to wreckage.
Even after killing all the battleships and transport ships, these spherical metal bodies still did not intend to give up.
Like molting, a layer of its outer shell was peeled off, and this layer was about one meter long.
Subsequently, the peeled off layer turned into small multi-legged robots about 30 centimeters tall.
The next moment, thousands of these small robots were scattered throughout the wreckage area. As long as they found anyone alive, the two sets of small electromagnetic rapid-fire guns deployed on their shoulders would directly beat the opponent into a sieve.
And at the same time.
The dimensional shield star system is in the orbit of dimensional shield vi.
One thousand three hundred warships, plus thousands of transport ships, have already arrived here.
"Captain, according to the detailed scan results, there are really three natural life planets here. Among them, the Vi shield has reached the S level according to the federal standard, and the other two are B level."
"Are there intelligent beings?"
"Yes, the number is quite large. At the same time, we have detected a large number of sophisticated equipment on the surface, and they are at least the level of technological civilization of level 4 or above."
"Huh? This is impossible, right?"
Liu Tao was immediately stunned.
What the hell?
A large number of the existence of highly intelligent life forms are at least the products of fourth-order technological civilization.
So why is this star system so clean?
Indeed, this star system is too clean.
Let alone a spaceship, there are no satellites in the orbit of the planet.
Generally speaking, even if there are highly intelligent creatures in this situation, it is probably still in the early stages of primitive civilization.
After all, in the later stages of primitive civilization, they were able to launch satellites into orbit or conduct manned spaceflight.
As for the second-level civilization, it can even build spaceships and colonize other planets in the star system.
But now the report is that there are a large number of products of at least a fourth-order civilization on this planet?
Very outrageous, okay?
If you stay on your home planet and don't go out, let alone a fourth-order civilization, even if you develop to a second-order civilization, that's unrealistic.
"Captain, there is another strange thing."
"Although we have detected tens of billions of life reactions on this planet, such a huge number of lives are all staying in some buildings, and not even a single person is found outside the buildings."
"What's even weirder is that the positions of all the life reactions are as if they are in a queue, with the distance between every two people being three meters."
What the hell?
This is getting more and more outrageous.
There are tens of billions of otakus, and the distances between these tens of billions of people are all exactly the same distance.
Do you think it’s a grand military parade from the home star era?
"Were any weapons systems detected?"
"No!"
"Okay, send a team of people down to investigate, and then take a look at something of higher value that can be used as a robbery target."
"Yes, leader!"
The deputy nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
The captain of the Federal Intelligence Department team, who was also on the bridge, twitched the corner of his mouth.
This weird situation ended up thinking about robbery?
Originally, he wanted to immediately remind Liu Tao that there might be huge and uncontrollable dangers.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Captain, a large-scale battle has been detected at the entrance of the artificial wormhole. Based on deep space radar scanning, it can be basically determined that all pirate groups with more than 100,000 ships have been silenced."
"Wait a minute, you said all those pirate groups who stayed at the entrance of the wormhole...how long have we been away from there?"
"29 minutes and 17 seconds, leader!"
"Damn it, I should have left a monitoring device behind before leaving... Can you confirm who did it?"
"No, because we did not conduct a positioning scan over there, and now it is discovered by regular passive scans, we can only confirm that there must have been a battle there."
Shaking his head, the radar officer said.
"Captain Liu, I think we should prepare immediately now. A civilization that can completely destroy more than 100,000 pirate ships in less than half an hour is definitely not something that a fourth-level civilization can easily accomplish."
"It's very possible that...the taboo in Balt has already appeared!"
"And since they can accurately locate the fleet over there, they may also be able to locate us. To them, we are also alien galaxy invaders, aren't we?"
The captain of the intelligence department came to Liu Tao and persuaded him.
Liu Tao frowned.
Do you have to give up your first plunder target like this?
Isn't this a slap in the face of the future interstellar pirate king?
Fortunately, the captain of the intelligence department next to him doesn't have mind-reading skills, otherwise he would definitely be pissed to death by this guy.
"Captain, 37 hyperspace window reactions were detected at the entrance of the wormhole passage, but except for the pirate fleet, which has all been silenced, no other warships were scanned."
"Where is the survey team? Inform them to cancel the surface survey mission."
"It's too late. One of the survey team's assault ships has already set off, and it's even started to land in orbit at this moment."
"Damn it, order all the warships to derail, form a battle array, and block the front of the transport fleet."
"Yes, leader!"
Although Liu Tao is very unreliable, he is not stupid.
Coupled with the reminder from the captain of the intelligence department just now, he knew very well that the reaction of the hyperspace window scanned at this moment was most likely that the enemy was coming towards him after attacking the pirate fleet.
And being able to conduct hyperspace navigation is at least within the scope of a quasi-fifth-order civilization.
The only good news is that there don't seem to be many opponents, there are only 37 hyperspace windows in total.
------
Inside the bridge, the previous noise had long gone and it seemed very quiet.
Until more than ten seconds later.
"Coming!"
Following the radar officer's shout, an observation image was displayed under his operation.
In the picture, thirty-seven hyperspace windows were opened three light seconds away from the fleet.
Immediately, thirty-seven spherical metal objects flew out from inside.
"What the hell is this?"
Look at the parameters displayed on a virtual panel next to the observation image.
Only 107 meters in diameter?
But at this moment, there was no time for him to think more.
Moreover, he is not allowed to have any carelessness.
After all, with just 37 gadgets, it took less than half an hour to kill more than 100,000 pirate ships.
At this time, it’s better to strike first!
and...
I'm going to be ruthless right away, there's no room for temptation!
"The entire fleet begins to attack!"
"Yes, leader!"
The next second, thousands of silver-white space cuts were already focused on the thirty-seven spherical metal bodies.
Wherever it passed, it left space cracks one after another.
"Report, except target No. 29, all others were hit!"
"The opponent didn't have any shield, but I don't know if it was because the attack was too sudden and there was no time to activate the shield."
"Report, Target 29 is continuing to accelerate and has reached 6800km/s."
Reports continued to sound in the bridge.
However, one of the targets missed, which surprised Liu Tao.
After all, space attacks are not limited by the speed of light, and their attack speeds are even several times faster than the speed of light.
At this distance of only three light seconds, if you use a beam weapon to attack, it may take several seconds from launch to hit, but a space attack only takes 0.3 seconds.
Since the opponent has just flown out of the hyperspace channel, it is not much different from just completing the jump.
In addition, although it is a concentrated fire, it is also concentrated in a small area, rather than concentrated on one point.
This is used to avoid the possibility of the enemy avoiding attacks.
Then, the problem comes.
The distance was only three light seconds, it was still a space cutting cannon, and the opponent had just exited hyperspace, so it was impossible for the sublight engine to operate at full power.
He actually avoided the concentrated fire area?
If you want to achieve this, you must seamlessly start the sublight engine as soon as you exit hyperspace, and accelerate to a speed of at least three thousand kilometers per second in a few tenths of a second.
Only then can you successfully escape the attack range.
But, is this possible?
With such acceleration, even the Federation's light speed impact ship is not that fast.
Moreover, even if such a fast acceleration can be achieved, no living thing can withstand it, right?
Just when everyone was horrified, the data displayed on the virtual panel showed that the opponent's speed was still increasing rapidly, reaching a speed of 11,000 kilometers per second.
At this speed, even if there is no acceleration, we can reach the location of the Scorpion Pirates in dozens of seconds.
It's really...
Too fast!
"Immediately plan a regional strike plan, block all possible movement routes, and capture him!"
"Planning is underway. The planning is complete and the strike plan has been transmitted to each warship."
"Fire!"
"Yes, leader!"
The next moment, more than a thousand warships opened fire again.
Moreover, this time they still opened fire with full force. In addition to the space cutting cannons on the Pangu-class and Zhurong II battleships, the space-penetrating cannons on the Pangu-class were also at full firepower.
It covered a large area and blocked all its movement routes.
Unless the spherical metal body can instantly accelerate to a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, which is 10% of the speed of light, it will never be able to escape the strike range.
The most important thing is that even if you really accelerate to this level, you have to change your appearance instantly if you want to take out the strike range.
So even if your skills are excellent, none of the people inside will survive.
After all, to complete an instant turn at a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second, and to accelerate to 30,000 kilometers, even a seventh-level genetically enhanced person according to Star Sea Federation standards would not be able to withstand it.
However...
Something outrageous happened again.
The other party did not immediately imagine or accelerate instantly.
It only deviated slightly from the original route, and then passed through the gaps between several space cuts and space penetrations.
It seemed that in an instant, all the attack trajectories had been completely calculated, and then he passed through the gap.
It's almost like dancing in a web of fire.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"If we focus the fire again, I don't believe he can avoid it every time!"
Liu Tao suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Captain, look!"
The deputy on the side pointed at the observation image and also shouted loudly.
Only the spherical metal body in the picture was seen. At some point, dozens of openings were exposed on the shell, and a large number of devices that looked like weapons were deployed from these openings.
The next moment, a dazzling light appeared on each unfolded weapon. Soon, the entire observation screen turned white because of this light, and nothing could be seen anymore.
"Our ship is under attack, repeat, our ship is under attack!"
"The space shield integrity remains at 57%."
Good guy, the opponent not only accurately identified the flagship, but also used a backhand to focus the fire.
Instantly destroyed 77% of the integrity of the space shield on Liu Tao's Pangu level.
this...
How does such a small weapon system achieve such power?
"Captain, all gun positions have been charged!"
"Fire and kill him!"
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was only 2 light seconds.
Under Liu Tao's order, another concentrated fire attack began!
This time, the entire attack plan narrowed the strike range and increased the density in the strike area.
Coupled with the shortened distance, the opponent's reaction speed is also slower.
Liu Tao didn't believe that he could still avoid it.
"Yes, leader!"
Thousands of space attacks were blasted out again.
Liu Tao was not disappointed this time. Although the opponent still made evasive actions, the next moment he was still cut in half by a space cut.
