The Thunder Fleet Air Base, located in the Malothai Galaxy, is a space base with high military value that human civilization has just occupied, it is located in the Milky Way Bay, there are a large number of alien civilizations around, radiating a large area of civilization, it is an extremely important strategic place for human civilization in the galaxy, and it is also a bridgehead for human civilization to link other civilizations in the galaxy, so the fleet stationed in this base has the most powerful combat power of the Federation.

The Thunder Fleet has 30,000 third-generation intercontinental ships, 50,000 Taishan motherships, as well as more than 100,000 landing ships, patrol ships, and unmanned reconnaissance ships,...... , etc., a fleet of various auxiliary warships.

After receiving the order of Commander-in-Chief Chen Xiaolin, the huge Thunder Fleet galloped towards the direction of the Oryun Galaxy, large and small, more than 200,000 interstellar warships formed a long metal dragon that could not be seen at a glance, and quickly flew away in the depths of space.

The flagship of the Thunder Fleet, located in the center of the fleet, is a warship of the same type that is a few points larger and thicker than the usual third-generation intercontinental ships.

In the flagship command room, a military meeting was underway, and the holograms of fleet commanders appeared on the conference table, and everyone's eyes fell on the chair of the conference table, which was a female commander-Thunder Fleet Commander-in-Chief Zhou Dan.

A holographic star map marked with military information appeared on the conference table, and Zhou Dan looked at the star map intently while listening to the military explanation of the chief of staff.

The chief of staff touched the holographic screen, looked at Zhou Dan, and explained: "According to the monitoring information provided by the base, this location is where the insect tide has been determined, because this insect tide has the characteristics of interfering with space-time energy, and has superb camouflage skills, therefore, the specific scale of this insect tide, their location, we can't know exactly, for the sake of caution, the staff committee recommends the implementation of a conservative strategy, the fleet should be this wormhole channel, from this position." ”

After speaking, the chief of staff stretched out his hand and dotted on the star map, and marked the galaxy next to the Oryun galaxy - yu887 galaxy - Burston galaxy.

Zhou Danliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at the military strategy star map, as if thinking about something, and did not say anything.

"Why did you choose this galaxy, the Burston system is a single star, we have no resources to supply in the past, and it is not suitable for long-term operations. ”

"The Burston galaxy is too far away! The giant Orryun galaxy is 17 light-years away!"

"Why not choose the Körle system, which is closer to the Oryun system and has plenty of planets for wartime supplies. ”

"Burston system, this is also too conservative, in this way, when will we be able to complete the combat mission!"

……

Seeing that the commander-in-chief, Zhou Dan, had no reaction, the captains of the ships were in a hurry, and they couldn't help but ask.

"Captains, first of all, we must clarify our combat mission, this combat mission is not to fight to the death with the Dark Bug, but to test the combat effectiveness of this Bug Tide, to confirm whether they have the ability to resist the 'Tachyon Weapon', if possible, to obtain the true scale of this Bug Tide, to provide accurate enemy intelligence for the Federation's next operations, rather than to start a decisive battle with the Dark Zerg. The Chief of Staff turned his head to look at the virtual images of the captains and explained.

After a pause, the chief of staff looked at the strategic star map and continued to explain: " The information on this insect tide is very scarce, and we cannot be sure whether the Dalk Zerg has expanded to the Oryun Galaxy, so the choice of a foothold has become very limited, and the reason for the choice is precisely because the Burston Galaxy is a single star system, and this galaxy is a barren galaxy that cannot provide any supplies except stellar energy, and the Darker Zerg will definitely not choose this galaxy to settle in, so this galaxy is the safest place for us to stay close to the Oryun Galaxy. ”

"Even so, we have also lost supplies!"

"The best of both worlds, I agree with this choice!"

"That's acceptable, but without a sustainable supply point, our combat time limit has been greatly shortened!"

……

As soon as the chief of staff explained this, the captains understood the concerns of the staff, and most of them accepted the plan.

In the face of the supply problem raised by the captains, the chief of staff had already considered it, stretched out his hand and touched a few times on the holographic screen, made a standard in several galaxies near the Burston system, and continued to explain: "This mission determines that our war time will not be very long, 2-3 years if it goes well, and 5-10 years if it is slow, so the supply required by the fleet can be compressed to a range according to this timeline, and then, a temporary supply point will be established on the way to replenish the urgently needed materials, which can fully meet the needs of the fleet." ”

The chief of staff finished his speech, looked at Zhou Dan silently, and waited for her choice.

Zhou Dan frowned, this mission is the most critical experience in her military career, due to factors from the family, Zhou Dan easily mixed with the military's high-level, however, the opportunity to really experience the dangerous battlefield was missed by her again and again because of this factor, after successfully controlling the Thunder Fleet, she finally waited for an important turning point battle, therefore, Zhou Dan wanted to fight for more initiative, and was not satisfied with this conservative battle plan.

"Are there any other opportunities that you have planned?" Zhou Dan looked at the chief of staff and continued to ask.

The chief of staff hesitated and glanced at Zhou Dan, nodded and said: "Of course, in addition to this conservative plan, we have also customized a more radical combat plan, directly using the insect tide of the Taishan mothership group to attack this position to attract the attention of the insect tide, and then, using the fast son main ship guns of the third-generation warship, carry out ultra-long-range attacks, and finally verify the combat ability of the Darke Zerg, however, this time once this battle plan is implemented, the Taishan mothership group will face a huge chance of facing the risk of total annihilation." ”

After a pause, the chief of staff looked at Zhou Dan with a worried expression, and said: "Commander, this battle plan may also provoke this insect tide, causing them to launch an attack on other civilizations in the galaxy in advance. ”

"Well, I see!" Zhou Danchong nodded to the chief of staff, looked at the captains and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"Commander, I don't agree with choosing a conservative plan, the sooner you get the information about the strength of this insect tide, the more valuable it will be to the Federation and the Alliance, even if the insect tide suddenly erupts, there will be enough time for the Federation to react quickly. ”

"Commander, I think we should carry out a radical plan, according to the information conveyed by the base, this is a new wave of bugs, then we should not let them grow, we should fight quickly, and completely eliminate them while their foundation is not stable. ”

"No, according to the accurate information provided by the base, this insect tide has many magical abilities, and if we launch an attack rashly, we will most likely follow in the footsteps of the First Fleet. ”

"Commander, don't venture in! This insect tide is different from the past,......。 ”

“……。 ”

As soon as Zhou Dan's voice fell, the entire conference room immediately became lively, and the captains spoke enthusiastically, they were divided into conservatives and radicals.

"Stop, old rules, write your conclusions into a meeting report, and I'll refer to them. Zhou Dan raised his hands slightly, stopped everyone, and announced.

"Yes, Commander!" the captains replied in unison, not daring to slack off.

Zhou Danliu frowned slightly, looked at the chief of staff, and motioned to him to terminate the virtual meeting with his eyes.

The chief of staff understood and immediately reached out to turn off the projection signal of the holographic conference.

With a bang, a large hologram of the captain disappeared from the seats in the conference room, and the command window in front of him showed a vast galaxy, constantly flying backwards, and the Thunder Fleet was moving rapidly.

"Commander, we are still 20 million kilometers from the wormhole, and we expect to arrive in 56 hours. The chief of staff looked at Zhou Dan and reported.

"Yes! Zhou Danfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the other party.

The chief of staff bowed slightly to Zhou Dan, bowed and exited Zhou Dan's command room, leaving her alone.

Zhou Dan looked at the vast galaxy with deep eyes, and a deep uneasiness welled up in his heart, which was the trouble of making a major choice, and also from the intuition of women, that insect tide was too mysterious, and this mission might be more auspicious.

However, even so, Zhou Dan will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity no matter what.

"Xiaoyu, if it were you, what choice would you make?" Zhou Dan had an image floating in his heart for the first time in a long time, and muttered to himself.

Although the image of 'Zhou Yu' in her memory has become very blurred, it is precisely because of the influence of Zhou Yu that Zhou Dan embarked on the career of an interstellar commander, and over the years, she has climbed step by step to the position of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary fleet, relying not only on the background behind her, but also on her outstanding military ability.

It's just that this military operation has a heavy responsibility and a particularly dangerous form, so Zhou Dan's mood has become unstable.

Time passed bit by bit, and after a short period of confusion, Zhou Dan began to devote himself to intense work, screening valuable information from the auxiliary suggestions of the meeting report submitted by tens of thousands of captains, and at the same time, excavating military talents with training value.

To the level of the commander-in-chief, Zhou Dan already had a tendentious choice in her heart, but she didn't want to make any mistakes, because one of her orders decided the life and death of hundreds of thousands of lives.

……

The Thunder Fleet is aptly named, after receiving the order from the base, it acted quickly, assembled and set off within three days, finalized the strategic plan within seven days, and fifteen days later, the Thunder Fleet burrowed into the wormhole of time and space, and its figure disappeared in the Malotthai system.

In the Oryun Galaxy, in the nearby star field, unmanned reconnaissance ships shuttled out of the wormhole, and flew away urgently, gradually forming an arc-shaped reconnaissance network, galloping towards the entire galaxy.

In the Burston system, a large fleet gathered, like excellent hunters lurking in the forest, quietly watching the movements of the unmanned reconnaissance ship group ahead.

"In the twelfth hour, the investigation net found nothing. ”

"Scouting net, 70 million kilometers from Planet 17. ”

"Report, 18 reconnaissance ships in Area B disappeared for no reason, and we found the first insect tide!"

“……”

In the flagship command room, the reports of the officers on the operation console sounded one after another, and the unmanned reconnaissance ship quickly set up a surprise attack on the reconnaissance network formed, and the hidden insect tide was excavated at once.

According to the intelligence of the base, it was learned that this insect tide has the ability to interfere with the space-time wormhole and emit an invisible force field, to deal with such a hot enemy, Zhou Dan gathered the wisdom of the whole army to deal with it, and the search operation of the reconnaissance network in front of him is only a small component.

"Very good, the unmanned reconnaissance ship immediately retreated and found out the location of the camouflaged 'force field bug'. Zhou Dan ordered.

"Understood, all suspicious targets in the area have been searched!" the officers responded.

Immediately, on the large holographic screen, thousands of speeding asteroids were displayed, and their positions happened to be not far from the location where the unmanned reconnaissance ship disappeared.

The officers on the console turned their heads to look at Zhou Dan in unison, waiting for her to give the order to attack.

The main force of the Thunder Fleet is located in the Burston system, however, other small fleets have followed behind the reconnaissance network composed of unmanned reconnaissance ships, the purpose is to explode the 'force field bug' and show the situation of the entire insect tide, once this operation is successful, the next will be a big battle.

"Well, the reconnaissance network is withdrawn, and Thunder One is ready to attack!" Zhou Dan stared at the holographic screen and ordered.

"Thunder One received!" a captain's response rang out in the lower right corner of the command screen.

Immediately, the flagship's command screen showed a small fleet composed of more than a thousand third-generation intercontinental fleets suddenly accelerated, turning into a streamer and flying rapidly towards the location of the insect tide.

Ahead, tens of thousands of small unmanned reconnaissance ships turned their bows and rapidly broke away from the theater as a whole, followed by the small attack fleet, locking on to the targets in front, and a large wave of curvature missiles was launched in an instant.

After the curvature missile group flew out of the trajectory, the internal small curvature engine was activated, and the missile group collectively accelerated.

A few seconds later, the group of curvature missiles all entered a state of curvature navigation, they distorted time and space, crossed space, and in the blink of an eye, collectively hit the target they were aiming at.

"Boom....... "The dense curvature missile swarm exploded, and the galloping asteroid swarm was suddenly knocked out of the prototype.

Soon, the time and space of the nearby star field were distorted, as if someone had lifted the lid, and a large black and secluded sea of insects was revealed, the sea of insects was formed by the gathering of hideous-looking and huge insects, their whole bodies were black and brown, as if they were very easy to blend into the dark starry sky, they were huge, nearly 2 kilometers long, with a pair of long tentacles, huge forefeet, and a pair of scarlet compound eyes,...... , the overall look is indescribably terrible.
