Area C7 of the seventh node of the Nebula Channel.
Of the two cold fusion missiles initially deployed by Jiang Xingchen, the one that has not yet been used is here right now.
This has to make everyone sigh. Even though it was just for insurance at first, it was finally used in various ways, and all of them played a decisive role.
Of course, Jiang Xingchen does not have the ability to predict, and he could not have predicted this moment an hour ago. However, when formulating tactics, he can always use everything on the battlefield.
It can be said that if someone else is commanding the battleship, the cold fusion missile in area C7 may be an unusable burden.
But for Jiang Xingchen, there is nothing cumbersome in this world. If there is, it's just that you haven't thought of how to use it.
So, don’t always say that so and so does not play by common sense. That’s just because your thinking is restricted by the rules and regulations called common sense.

"Captain, the cold fusion missile has 30 seconds to reach the designated coordinates."
"The swarm's reaction?"
"There was no movement. Maybe I thought it wasn't an attack on them, so I just ignored them!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen nodded, which was pretty much what he expected.
"Turn on the ship's radio!"
"Already open, Captain!"
"I am the captain Jiang Xingchen. Our ship will soon be hit head-on by the aftermath of a space turbulence eruption. Everyone should be prepared to avoid collision. Repeat this..."
Qingluan is far away from the eruption point, but it will still be impacted by the aftermath. Although there will be no substantial threat, the impact is estimated to be very powerful.
Well, it's probably about the same as being punched...
"Captain, there are still 3 seconds!"
"2..."
"1..."
"Detonate!"
Even though the distance was far away, through the porthole of the bridge, one could still see a terrifying white energy mass rising instantly in front of him.
The next moment, the huge energy had torn a large hole in the separation wall. The balance inside and outside the passage was instantly broken, just like a river bursting its banks. The huge pulling force generated by the turbulent flow of space came directly from this
There was a crazy influx in the mouth, constantly wreaking havoc on the space in the passage.
As mentioned before, the mother worm is extremely sensitive to spatial turbulence, so it senses the crisis immediately and instinctively moves in the opposite direction to the out-of-control area.
Soon, the raging aftermath had spread to the Qingluan. Even if the energy shield was turned on, it would only eliminate part of its power, and the remaining energy would directly act on the battleship.
The entire battleship felt as if someone had hit it hard with a battering ram. Under the violent earthquake, even though it was prepared in advance, even if it was firmly grasped, it fixed its body.
but...
Many people were still knocked directly to the ground or hit the wall, and many were injured.
Fortunately, except for a few people who were unlucky and broke their arms and legs, most of them were only slightly injured and would not have much impact on the tasks of their respective positions.
"Captain, we can't see where the worm mound is. How do we confirm whether the operation is successful?"
"Wouldn't you know after detonating the cold fusion missile in a while?"
"Ah this..."
Well, in a way, this answer is quite correct.
While holding on to the console on the side, Fu Wanting complained in her heart.
"It's almost time, Wang Feng, detonate the cold fusion missile in area C7!"
About half a minute later, Jiang Xingchen looked at the time and then ordered.
"Yes, Captain!"
The next moment, another ball of terrifying white energy rose.
"Captain, the location of the insect mound has been scanned!"
More than a minute later, when the energy reaction caused by the explosion of the cold fusion missile gradually dissipated, the radar officer reported loudly.
"Within the blast range?"
"Captain...the insect's reaction has disappeared again!"
"Ignore it and focus on scanning the area around the insect mound just now to see if there are any debris left behind!"
"clear!"
Due to the impact of the explosion of the cold nuclear fusion missile, the Worm Tomb temporarily became invisible, which was meaningless to Jiang Xingchen.
Likewise, it's okay if it becomes invisible again.
Jiang Xingchen was concerned about whether there were any broken pieces from the worm grave.
If it were the previous 3,400-meter worm mound, Jiang Xingchen wouldn't be too worried, but as he explained before, the longer the female worm lives, the larger the worm mound will be and the harder it will be.
Therefore, even he was not sure how effective a cold fusion missile could be when detonated externally for a worm mound with a diameter of over a kilometer.
"Captain, the number of large fragments exceeding 10 meters was detected in the target area 1, medium fragments exceeding 5 meters 3, and the remaining small and micro fragments exceeded 10,000."
After hearing the report, Jiang Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not in vain.
In fact, only a few large and medium-sized fragments are more useful. Although there are many small micro-fragments, most of them are only a few centimeters or even a few millimeters.
Next, if you want to escape from the worm mound, you don't need to worry about it. As long as you recover the fragments of the worm mound, you are done.
"Captain, the jets of space turbulence are weakening, and the barrier is being repaired quickly. It is expected to be completely repaired in two minutes."
"Where's the swarm?"
"A total of 70,000 war bugs were released from the insect mound. More than 20,000 war bugs died in the first aftermath of the space turbulence eruption. The remaining ones have now moved to area c3."
"Plan a route, bypass area c3, and go to area c7 to quickly recover the worm mound fragments."
"clear!"
"Also, always pay attention to those war bugs, and report them immediately if you notice that their movements become sluggish!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Jiang Xingchen was not interested in completely annihilating the remaining 50,000 war bugs.
Because the Qingluan has already consumed more than half of its ammunition, the remaining ammunition is enough to kill another 20,000 to 30,000 war bugs at most. It is impossible to annihilate them all.
However, there are also considerations when to leave.
We have to wait until the worm mound leaves.
Otherwise, who knows whether the insect mound will come back to gather the war insects, and then continue to use the advantage of invisibility to conduct another ambush?
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen had to make sure that the Worm Tomb had left, and the key was how to make sure that the Worm Tomb had already left.
In fact, it's not difficult to confirm...
Just like what he ordered just now, just keep an eye on those war bugs.
because...
The command distance of the female insect is limited, and once it is out of this distance, the speed and reaction of the combat insect will be greatly reduced due to the lack of command.
Just like those war insects that accidentally entered the Canglan system after being left alone.
-----
In two minutes, after circling around in a circle, the Qingluan finally arrived at Area C7, where the fragments of the insect mound were located.
The two mecha teams, which had rested for more than an hour, were all dispatched now, and worked together to push the large pieces into the battleship's cargo bay.
After all, the largest one is only a little over fifteen meters, and as long as several mechas work together, it is enough to push it.
The entire assignment doesn't even take three minutes to complete.
"Captain, the insect swarm is approaching. The current distance is 5800 and the number is close to 50,000. Contact is expected in 98 seconds."
"Is the speed still the same as before?"
"Yes, no change!"
"How long does it take for the mecha team to finish?"
"Three pieces have been recovered so far, and the last piece is on the way. It is expected to be completed in 17 seconds!"
Recycling is no problem, but the next step is to see when the female insect completely leaves.
And just when Jiang Xingchen was thinking this...
"Captain, the movement speed of the insect swarm has slowed down, dropping by about 42%."
"Okay, after all the mecha teams return to the ship, immediately start the jump engine and target the eighth node of the Star Luck Channel!"
After hearing the report, Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up.
