A few days later, the Reaper fleet arrived at the MG-1042 starfield a day later than planned.

Mu Chen immediately ordered the launch of reconnaissance satellites and drones to explore the number of the Zerg army.

At this time, the Zerg army was almost visible to the naked eye, the blood-red ball was covered with dense Zerg creatures of all kinds, and there were countless flying units hovering in the outermost layer, from a distance, it looked like a large ball that was constantly wriggling, extremely weird.

The reconnaissance satellite soon came with information, and after preliminary calculations, Mu Chen got a number that sent chills down his back, this time the enemy was 500 million Zerg of all kinds, and this was still the number of preliminary observations, no one knew how many enemies were still hidden inside the blood-colored planet.

Mu Chen has long been mentally prepared, and he has heard Proxima Centauri say that these zergs are the offensive mode of group operations, but in any case, he never imagined that the so-called group operations would be like this, 500 million insects, even if there are more than 10,000 weapons of all kinds on the Reaper Fleet, I am afraid that it will take more than 50,000 launches, which is simply impossible.

"No, we can't let the Zerg take the lead in attacking, otherwise the battlefield will be stretched too big, and it won't do us any good." Mu Chen immediately made a decision in his heart.

The current Zerg army is still gathered in a group and has not dispersed, which is an extremely beneficial thing for the Reaper fleet, once it continues to delay, if these bugs are allowed to detect them in advance and take an attack, they will definitely be dragged into an endless war of attrition, and the Reaper fleet simply cannot afford such attrition.

can only take advantage of the fact that the Zerg has not dispersed now, and use a wave of attacks as much as possible to destroy more enemies, so that the pressure can be less in the future.

"Satsuki, calculate the distance between the Zerg army and the Reaper fleet, when will that mass of bugs enter our maximum range?"

Mu Yue calculated the instrument in front of him, and he had an answer after a while.

"At present, there are still 0.000012 light years away from the Grim Reaper fleet, and at the speed of the Zerg, after 168.45 hours, (the river crab) will enter the farthest range of our ship."

"Can't grind any longer!" Mu Chen immediately ordered:

"The Whale is on standby for the MG-1041 star field, if the other warships fail, they can return to Earth on their own, and they are not allowed to join this battle, your mission is to bring back the detailed information of this battle with the Zerg, and if necessary, you can take extreme measures......"

The so-called extreme measure is to flee at all costs in the event of a crisis that may cause the crash of the warship, even if a friendly force sends a distress signal, it does not have to be ignored.

Captain Renault frowned and said, "Your Excellency, the Giant Whale also has a certain combat capability, can it provide the necessary fire support?" ”

"No, the Whale is a comprehensive supply ship, and the materials it carries are the key to ensuring the return of the Reaper Fleet, no accident can occur in any case, you take self-preservation as the first task, if we can be lucky enough to win, naturally everything will be fine, but in case of failure, you, as the last fire, must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and the Giant Whale is not allowed to interfere in the whole process of the battle, this is an order!" Mu Chen said undoubtedly.

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! Renault solemnly

He saluted Mu Chen and said, "Good luck to the Death Fleet, God bless you!" ”

Mu Chen is a standard atheist, and he trusts his hands more than the things that hang in and out.

"The two dreadnought-class space carriers and the Grim Reaper form a sharp knife formation, activate the stealth flight mode, we quietly lean over, the radio communication is silent, waiting for my command to launch an attack together, we only have one chance, we must cause the maximum damage in one fell swoop, we can't wait for the Zerg to react."

"The Luban maintenance ship is on standby, after the battle starts, it will make its own decisions depending on the battlefield situation, this will be a protracted war, I need your maintenance technology to ensure that the fleet can have a longer continuous combat capability."

"The flight units are combat-ready and ready to take to the skies at any time. The Space Airborne Forces are in Level 2 Combat Readiness, and if necessary, I'm going to have you land on that Scarlet Planet and see if we can destroy it from within. ”

A series of orders were issued, and the Reaper fleet immediately took action, and the three space carriers with stronger combat effectiveness activated the stealth mode, and the electronic camouflage layer on the outside of the hull was opened, so that the three space carriers quickly integrated with the surrounding environment, and could not be identified with the naked eye at all.

The flight speed in stealth mode cannot be too fast, and the maximum speed can only reach 500,000 km/h, and only at such a speed can the three motherships be guaranteed as much as possible from being discovered by the Zerg.

Mu Chen's purpose is very simple, that is, to use the way of stealth flight to go around the back of the blood-colored planet, no matter how this Zerg hatching base can fly at high speed in space, but there will definitely be a continuous driving force, this driving force is likely to be on the back of the blood-colored planet, if it can be destroyed, it is possible to make this hatching base lose the ability to maneuver, so that it can also delay the pace of the Zerg army into the solar system.

This also has the advantage of launching a surprise attack from behind, which will definitely produce a surprise effect, as we all know, when any army is advancing, the most powerful combat power is often at the forefront of the team, because this can more effectively respond to emergencies.

But Mu Chen wanted to take advantage of this feature and attack from the weakest point of the opponent, so that the troops in front of the Zerg army would need more time to stop the Reaper Fleet, which would allow the Reaper Fleet to launch at least two or three more rounds of attacks.

In a battle of this scale, it is almost impossible to make a final decision, the battle will inevitably last for a long time, what Mu Chen has to do is to take advantage of some more while ensuring safety as much as possible, when these small advantages are accumulated, it is very likely to change the balance of victory.

In Mu Chen's order, the three space carriers were required to maintain radio silence, which not only prevented the three space carriers from communicating with each other, but each battleship itself must also maintain absolute silence for at least three days.

During these three days, all the crew members must remain absolutely silent, walking, sitting, lying, training and dining must not make a sound of more than 15 decibels, the whole battleship is like a tomb, silent, everyone is suffering greatly.

It's just that according to the information provided by Proxima Centauri, the Zerg seems to be extremely sensitive to fluctuations in space, and can even be felt from a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers

The vibration of a leaf when it falls, without this level, it is difficult to guarantee the concealment of the battleship.

For three days, there was not a sound on the three space carriers, and every crew member was gritting their teeth and insisting, which was much more terrifying than the small black room in the prison, where although they could hear their heartbeats as quietly, they knew that they were safe, but now they were under tremendous pressure, but they still had to suppress their desire to vent, and they needed to overcome it physically and psychologically.

But no one disobeyed Mu Chen's orders, even if they were tortured by the fear in their hearts and almost collapsed, these best warriors on the earth still gritted their teeth and persevered, and many of them pinched their thighs, but they didn't say a word.

The blood-colored planet of the Zerg army was fast, advancing at an extremely high speed all the time, and the Reaper fleet turned off its thrusters after picking up to the right speed, and used inertia to glide through space, which was not too slow.

Soon the Zerg army entered the farthest range of the Grim Reaper space carrier, but Mu Chen did not act rashly, but took the fleet to adjust an angle and go around in a circle, avoiding the navigation route of the Zerg and going around to the back of the blood-colored planet.

This blood-colored planet is not very regular spherical, but has two slightly flattened lemon shapes, with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers at the largest point and about 1,500 kilometers at the flattest point.

The whole body is the color of plasma, and you can feel the cold and ominous aura coming from it from afar.

Mu Chen turned on the high-powered optical telescope and captured and magnified the image of the Zerg planetary base on the light curtain in front of him, and everyone covered their mouths for a moment.

The scene on this planetary base is really disgusting, there is blood-red slime everywhere, and countless Zerg of all kinds are wriggling in the slime, if any director wants to make a horror movie, it is estimated that this is a pure natural set, and there is no need for more embellishment.

Even Mu Chen, who has a big heart, can't accept this kind of picture, and he really feels like his scalp is numb, but he still endures the churning in his stomach and observes carefully.

If you can learn more about the situation of the Zerg, you will be more sure of defeating them, even if these Zerg are devils who crawled out of hell, Mu Chen has to know as much as possible about them.

The three space carriers passed by the Zerg's planetary base, but they did not attract the attention of the Zerg army, and soon circled the back of the blood-colored planet.

The crew was finally able to know why this Zerg planetary base was able to fly long distances in the universe, but unfortunately no one could be happy, because the picture here was countless times more disgusting than what had been seen before.

There are countless crater-like things on the back of this Zerg planetary base, which are constantly spewing a mixture of green and red slime, and it is estimated that the blood red color of the entire planet is caused by these "craters".

When this slime is ejected, it burns up on its own, like a fusion thruster on a space carrier, creating a backward thrust that proppels the planet forward.

Countless porter ants are busy near the "crater", collecting the spilled slime and sending it to other places, presumably to be used as food for various zergs.
