With the divine troops of the new force of fleet 173 descending from heaven, the war situation, which seemed to be crumbling under the desperate assault of the puppet legion, has once again returned to a reluctant balance.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

In the 26 month long fierce battle, more than 100 teams of human beings successively arrived at Oasis star to join the battle group.

In this relatively narrow theater, mankind has gathered 680000 ships and a total population of nearly 400 million, forming a large-scale joint fleet.

Relying on the hard work of the front-line soldiers and the natural moat formed by the plasma magnetic storm, the production and scientific research departments inside oasis star have opened their fire. In just 26 months, they have built up to one million ships, including more than 700000 unmanned warships and more than 200000 manned warships.

At the same time, through the continuous strengthening of a total of nine phase projects, Tiandong is not as solid as gold, but it can be regarded as an iron wall.

A large amount of material left by the belligerents in the Tiandong has piled up into a cylindrical asteroid belt.

Humans usually only recycle a small part of the necessary special materials. As for others, they simply stay in place. They are also ready-made roadblocks that can block the enemy's advance.

Humans who occupy the regional home advantage can also hide booby traps in some damaged debris.

Unfortunately, it is close to Yinxin after all, and it is the core hinterland of the compound eye. In recent years, the compound eye has already begun to expand the slave forces in Yinxin on a large scale.

In order to block the unknown fleet that revealed its whereabouts in advance, the compound eye has already deployed heavy troops.

Now the joint fleet is stationed in Oasis star, which is tantamount to lighting a campfire in the cold winter forest full of wolves at night.

Fierce and hungry wolves will move and surround from all directions.

The nameless fleet is equivalent to facing the enemy headquarters with the power of a small branch of mankind. This power comparison is unfair.

However, despite the great disparity between the enemy and our forces and the scale of logistics, 400 million soldiers and civilians only use technical means to take a quick rest every 24 hours, and work hard for an average of 2 hours. At the same time, more scientific researchers in the headquarters of the Empire have made every effort to tackle key technical problems, and continuously launched various new energy and material rapid development equipment for oasis starplasma magnetic storm and many special minerals, Relying on the main brain, the stars took out nearly one tenth of the total computing power, took over the important computing work in the production link of oasis star, and the joint fleet survived.

However, although the joint fleet has tried every means to rapidly expand its strength, it can not avoid the problem of continuous combat attrition.

The fourth generation, which has just begun to be cultivated after the joint fleet is stationed, is now only more than two years old. It is still six to eight years away from forming basic combat power.

With the passage of time, human soldiers inevitably fight less and less, and the balance of forces on both sides is still slowly tilting towards the more favorable direction of compound eye army.

In June 2945, a more unfavorable situation appeared. About 160 light-years away from oasis star, a huge fleet of compound eye slaves suddenly emerged, and its combat power scale was close to the huge army composed of devouring insects and hive ships encountered by the unknown fleet in the original Dingsheng period.

Just half an hour later, when the information was presented to Andre, Zhou Donglai and the general staff of the imperial headquarters, there was silence in countless conference rooms.

There was a major mistake in the work of the intelligence department. It was not found that there was a huge serpentine Stargate of the compound eye, which was quietly taking shape.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two options left in front of the joint fleet.

Either stand by and wait for help at the risk of total annihilation, or evacuate in advance, continue to break up into parts and escape respectively.

However, at this time, the joint fleet has only developed for two years and two months, the production capacity climb has not been completed, and most of the production capacity has been used to resist the consumption of the invading enemy, and the exploitation of oasis star resources has only completed less than one tenth.

If this is dispersed, the original strategic goal of expanding the strength of the joint fleet has not been completed at all, and the persistence over the past two years has become a mirage.

But even if it is firmly waiting for help, it is difficult to integrate a team that can compete with the strange soldier of compound eye with only a small team of hundreds of light-years nearby.

At this delicate moment, the Institute of materials science under the core fleet calculated a new way of ship movement by analyzing the wreckage of a biological fleet with space jumping ability annihilated before.

Collecting these biological remains, refining them, and finally integrating them into the kinetic energy generator of the catapult engine can theoretically support medium-sized ships to continue to perform continuous catapult for several months, so as to obtain terrorist medium-range mobility up to 2500 times the speed of light.

After accounting, these non renewable materials collected in the core fleet can be used to transform a total of 400000 medium-sized ships.

"Opportunities and risks coexist. Now most of the scattered enemy fleets Near Oasis star have been close to the theater, but we still have a third of the reserve force in the outer layer. Over the years, Xuanyuan armor is rapidly and gradually replacing fogay armor, and the Xuanyuan armor derivative equipment for the new main frame has been gradually innovated."

"All large and small units have undergone a lot of blood and fire trials in recent years. Up to now, we have played more than 10 games, and we have to play three or four games less. Our combat effectiveness is only higher than that 20 years ago, and we have a good chance to win. As long as we can beat the opponent's Stargate with a special attack team first, we can concentrate our superior forces to attack the enemy in this area The formation of the main attack task force is the responsibility of the core fleet, and the rest of the fleet will gradually move closer and wait for the fighters to form a Siege! "

Zhou Donglai decided decisively and ordered the Engineering Department of the core fleet to immediately start rebuilding ships and selecting soldiers at the same time.

Yes, the core fleet has accumulated strength for many years. It's time for the blade to come out of the sheath again.

In the past week, a special assault team composed of 20 million elite soldiers, 50000 special medium-sized warships and 350000 new intelligent unmanned warships was established, and half of the existing strength of the core fleet was directly allocated.

Not only that, Tong Ling and another 3000 peak soldiers have also completed the reorganization of the special attack team.

This battle is of great importance. Tong Ling, as the first combat force of mankind, is also time to go out.

But unexpectedly, something went wrong with the final determination of the commander of the task force.

Zhou Donglai actually planned to transfer his position as commander-in-chief of the unknown fleet to Tang Xiaao, who is 36 years old and has just been promoted to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the core fleet, and then he himself led the team.

This was strongly opposed by Tang Xiaao and other commanders.

Zhou Donglai's reason is that Tang Xiaao is mature enough and shows enough military command ability to deserve the post of commander in chief.

But Tang Xiaao's reason is that he is not good at administrative work and is not competent for the military and political position of commander-in-chief of the unknown fleet.

Others feel worse.

They were not dissatisfied with Tang Xiaao, but felt that after taking over Qin Guang for decades, Zhou Donglai had played an excellent role in the overall control of various fields. He was no longer a pure military personnel. He had to stay in the core fleet to play the greatest role and be more beneficial to mankind.

As long as Zhou Donglai is still there, even if the battle is lost, the unknown fleet will have the opportunity to make a comeback and gather its combat power again.

Zhou Donglai continued to argue that there should be no loss in this battle. He could only win and not lose. He had to go to battle in person to feel secure, and there was no better commander in the fleet than himself.

He said even more strongly that his mind had been decided and could not be discussed again.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaao refuted it in public and challenged him to command the simulated special warship team.

"Now that my offspring embryos have been formed, Nu Wa plans to sit back and relax. I can die in battle, but I have no worries. Since you said, teacher, you can't lose and get the strongest. Let's try. If I win, it's my turn."

Twenty four hours later, the simulation war ended, and Tang Xiaao won an indisputable victory with an advantage of up to 7% war damage ratio.

Zhou Donglai, who was helpless, lost the command of the task force and gave Tang Xiaao the responsibility of logistics.

Others were also extremely shocked. Before the end of the challenge, few people thought that Tang Xiaao, who was only 36 years old and had commanded several times in the previous small-scale contact war, could win Zhou Donglai in the large-scale special warfare simulation.

You know, before that, Tang Xiaao didn't have time to contact this scale of campaign training, and it was his first time. This is pure talent.

But Zhou Donglai is not an ordinary person!

Is this the ability of great grandfather Tang Tianxin, the strongest commander in the history of civilization in the history of nothingness?

Watching the fleet led by Tang Xiaao disappear quickly in a leap, Zhou Donglai turned back to open the projection and looked at the newborn who had just reached one month.

This is a baby girl, Tang Tianxin's grandmother.

Even if he is as calm as Zhou Donglai, he can't help looking forward to it in his heart.

If we persist for another half century, we will see the strange woman who can carry all the military forces of mankind with one shoulder.

I don't know how strong that girl can be.

Three months later, at the cost of losing one third of the unmanned ships and one eighth of the manned ships due to technical reasons, the task force completed a total of more than 17000 medium-range jumps, successfully reached the location of the hidden giant serpentine Stargate, and immediately started a fierce exchange of fire with the 300000 slave fleet stationed here.

At first, Zhou Donglai and others thought that Tang Xiaao would choose to concentrate on attacking the xingmen first, but unexpectedly, Tang Xiaao chose to fight while fighting in three ways.

One of them accounted for 50% of the troops. Taking Tong Ling's critical team as the arrow, they went straight to the star gate.

On the other hand, they occupied 20% of the troops, turned around and pursued the compound eye slave army that was rushing towards the oasis star, and made a fierce attack with the title and tail.

At last, they occupied 30% of the troops, but did nothing. They only spread out in a large area in the middle of the other two forces, and began to detonate a large number of medium-sized fragmentation bombs and various space mines and missiles that can create long-term storms.

Three days later, under the micro operation of Tang Xiaao, the main force of the special attack team successfully killed the enemy's defense front, tore up the xingmen, and blocked another Fuyan slave support Army coming through the xingmen on the other side of the xingmen.

On the other hand, they are still chasing the main force of the enemy.

The third way is still crazy to detonate the bomb, continue to expand the coverage, go to one star after another along the way, and leave like a dragonfly.

At the same time, the compound eye army that was attacking the oasis star was only two weeks away from reaching the destination oasis galaxy, but immediately turned around and attacked the task force at the moment when the Stargate was destroyed.

At this time, the main force of the strong attack team was unable to escape, and still fought with the enemy fleet guarding the Stargate.

When the compound eye army retreated to 30 light-years from the Stargate, it exchanged fire with the second route army of the special attack team, which accounted for 20% of the troops.

However, the second route army did not fight with it. It often withdrew only after touching it. It did its best to attack and disturb each other, just to drive each other out of the curvature flight channel and delay each other's advance.

The time was delayed for nearly a month. With the support of the superior force brought by Tong Ling and other peak soldiers, the first route army of the special assault team wiped out the defenders at the cost of losing 30% of its troops and began to head towards the direction of the compound eye army.

In the past three weeks, the compound eye army finally approached the first route army within 15 light-years under the attack of the second route army.

At this time, the second route army was completely damaged in the attack, but the advance speed of the compound eye army did not accelerate, but fell into the quagmire of detonating everywhere before the Third Route Army.

Full speed curvature flight is no longer safe, and folding jump flight is more dangerous. The compound eye army can only reluctantly start low-speed curvature flight and try to cross this quagmire.

But when the compound eye army just rushed to the center of the mud, it changed and regenerated.

Millions of stars with a diameter of 15 light-years vibrated violently and exploded at the same time.

The explosion of a single star is nothing for ships with such technology.

But the supernova explosion of millions of stars almost at the same time has set off a terrible energy storm in this region.

The terrible gamma ray is like a mountain roaring tsunami, which is unstoppable.

Massive high-energy particles escape everywhere and fill the space.

The open universe has become a mire and a surging sea of energy.

The curvature gravitational line is completely disturbed and interrupted.

The folding and jumping channel has become a mortal place.

This large-scale army of compound eyes was trapped in it and could only start conventional flight at a speed close to the speed of light.

Since then, Tang Xiaao began to integrate the first, second and third route army, patrolling along the outer layer of the star explosion area made by himself. While opening the scientific experiment, he made use of the mobility advantage brought by folding and jumping to quickly kill some enemy reconnaissance forces that rushed out with risky curvature flight.

Such a terrible equivalent of stellar explosion radiation will take at least hundreds of years to subside.

Well, if the enemy's large forces want to rush out, no matter which direction they choose, it will take at least seven years!

Not only that, the area with a diameter of 15 light-years will continue to expand, and eventually form a spherical partition belt spanning 45 light-years in 15 years, blocking the shortest road for the enemy's reinforcements sent from the silver center.

If the other party still wants to harass oasis star, it must go a long way.

This is a spherical Great Wall 45 light-years away!

On the other hand, because this important new force that can balance the battlefield is completely in the mire, the enemy's oil adding tactics are like being stolen from a gas station.

The oasis joint fleet began to gain battlefield advantages.

Tang Xiaao succeeded.

He successfully won at least ten years for the oasis fleet.

Six months later, the oasis joint fleet completely gained the upper hand and began to fight back.

More than 40 other squadrons originally nearby are also gradually approaching the explosion zone.

The joint fleet special attack force, represented by fleet 173, has been integrated and formed, forming a force with 30000 large warships, 100000 medium warships and 200000 new assault smart ships, and began to rush outward, aiming at the star explosion coverage area, trying to strangle all the compound eye army here.
