After verifying the identity of the BU project technicians, the staff returned to the port with the flotilla of Pan Van and met with each other.

According to the technician's dictation, Pan Wen figured out the situation.

It turned out that after the previous weapon test, with the small amount of essence returned by Pan Wen being sent to the BU Project Center, the researchers already had a conjecture similar to Pan Wen's conjecture. The researchers did not have enough evidence, so the matter remained on speculation and did not move further.

Pan Wen's message became an opportunity, and the BU Planning Center took the opportunity to send a technical team to conduct practical tests on the battlefield.

In the face of incalculable numbers and unpredictable tactics, most people would pay sky-high prices for the risks of conducting conceptual weapon tests under normal circumstances.

Pan Wen's thinking angle is different from that of ordinary NPCs, and now that there are people to help, it is naturally impossible to turn them away at a sky-high price. He did not ask for a price directly, but asked the tactical department to cooperate with the technical team to make a test plan, and then the price will be made according to the test process.

The tactical department of the Panvin fleet has been in and out of the swarm for many rounds, and with their cooperation, all the technical team needs to think about is how to get as much data as possible in the least number of contacts.

Even then, it took three days to make a whole set of plans for a conjectural conceptual weapon.

Pan Wen was very satisfied with the final plan, and the technicians planned to summon engineers from the headquarters to cooperate with the existing anti-living weapons of the militia front to carry out codeable modifications and related improvements, so that the anti-living weapons could obtain the function of carrying information. Since the anti-living weapon itself is not a high-frequency pulse weapon, even with a small number of modifications, it cannot carry high-intensity information in the radio wave, but the basic conjecture used to verify whether the wave carrying special information can have an effect on the bug is sufficient.

Pan Wen has seen the plan and feels quite reliable.

"The swarm is growing very fast, and it doesn't work for us to prolong it. Hmm......" Pan Wen paused for a moment and quoted the price, "The cost of the test, you only need to provide insurance for the battle damage and the supply of operating fuel and materials at this stage. What we need is better Essence Trade Terms, such as the only designated private Essence Trade Zone in the whole galaxy, and you can propose similar alternatives if you are in trouble. I have only one goal: to start implementing the plan within 24 hours. ”

Pan Wen's asking price after the success of the matter is very high, but now no one can guarantee whether the thing can be done, for the Western Front Command, the amount of the pre-event cost is the key to how soon the plan can be implemented, as for the real success, it is too late to talk about the matter afterwards.

"Mr. Pan's courage is embarrassing, we don't have enough rights, but we will definitely work hard to promote cooperation." The technical representative responded.

After briefly talking to the technical team about the arrangement of the way of action, the technical team hurriedly took the high-speed communication ship in Pan Wen's hand to the western route.

Things went very well, and Pan Wen's very kind early offer was responded, and the Western Front Command had already begun to allocate personnel and materials to enter the part of weapon modification before deciding whether to agree to the later offer.

The cost and materials of the weapons modification, coordinated by the BU planning department and the command center of the Western Front, progressed rapidly, and in less than 100 hours, one-third of the projectile anti-living weapons in the inventory of the vigilante front were transformed. At the same time, an agreement was signed between the Civil League Front and the Western Front Command on the concept of weapons testing.

According to the amended agreement, the Vigilant Front will provide up to three low-rate testing services until the compulsory extraction of the essence technology is completed, after which the Empire and the Federation will support the Vigilante Front to become the only designated private elite trading center, ensuring that in the event of any changes, the militia front's equity in the elite trading center will not be less than 51%.

Either the Western Front Alliance has not yet realized the quantity and value of the essence, or it is just a temporary compromise and there are other back-ups, but the concept test plan still enters the execution stage according to Pan Wen's steps.

Pan Wen's urgency did not come from getting any new special news, but he didn't believe that the Demon King would honestly accumulate strength in the back and not get rid of the moth.

It took eight days from the time he personally went to the Western Front command to make a guess and the time he formed a fleet to prepare for the test.

This test fleet is basically composed of the vigilante front and the Anike mercenaries, but it is also mixed with dozens of imperial and federal mercenary ships. The mercenary ships of the empire and the federation were brought up by themselves, all of them were frigates, probably from where they got the news for fear of missing some earth-shattering artifact, in short, they didn't need the militia front to post the test.

As a result of official cooperation, the test fleet once again received intelligence support from a class of reconnaissance ships.

The front of the bugs on the right flank was recovered, and the fleet jumped until K16 without receiving information about the swarm, and the fleet itself did not search for it.

The contraction of the front means an increase in density, and K17 is also considered an important node, and the fleet is hesitant to act.

After discussing with the BU technicians accompanying the group, the fleet temporarily retreated to the K15 in an attempt to contact a Class 1 reconnaissance ship while approaching the protoparasitic star that the K15 had been swept away.

The parasitic planets destroyed by humans do not end consistently, the most complete nature is the planet that has entered the molten state, some planets will become partially molten and fragmented due to the relationship between the structure and the inner core, K15 happens to have a planet that was once parasitic at this time in a semi-fragmented state.

There is no overall melting, but the places that have been destroyed by the planets, at least there have been brief moments of crustal displacement exceeding the speed of sound, which has absolute destructive power against any object, and whether the bugs can find the test subject after natural disasters can only depend on luck.

Unfortunately, this time I was no luck, and although I could observe a faint biological reaction when I got close to the investigation, I couldn't find the insects that were actually moving on the surface.

The fleet is willing to send both marines and technicians, theoretically it can get some results, but in K15 it is simply impossible.

Even if there is the intelligence support of a type of reconnaissance ship, which can rule out the possibility of being raided by the swarm of the fleet, the surface environment does not allow personnel to go down directly, and the half-fragmented planet is very dangerous, and there is a risk of crustal movement or even disintegration at any time.

In addition, there are even more intolerable factors - once the personnel are put down, they cannot avoid the problem of insect swarms and parasites, and in space, due to the lack of contact channels with the outside world, they can be controlled by strict isolation methods, and whether the people who are put down will become a potential source of infection or even mutants is not a matter that can be achieved in a short time.

Abandoning ground trials, the fleet loitered in K15, waiting for intelligence feedback from reconnaissance ships of the first class.

About four hours later, the Pan Van fleet received the information and obtained the special contact codes of the three first-class reconnaissance ships, so it can be said that it temporarily had the command of the three first-class reconnaissance ships.

There is a class of direct help from reconnaissance ships, and the next thing is easy to do.

Considering the high operational risk of the first class of reconnaissance ships, Pan Wen discussed with the tactical team and prepared a complex time-based short itinerary for the three first-class reconnaissance ships, as well as the change conditions corresponding to each situation, only for the K17 to K20 areas.

In conjunction with the first wave of intelligence from the Class 1 reconnaissance vessels, the fleet first entered the K18 area, which was initially assessed as a low risk, and while waiting for the second wave of intelligence, the fleet performed a scan of the K18 on its own.

This was a terrible swarm, and a rather outrageous mass of insect swarms was found near the native planet, which was tentatively estimated to be about the same size as the left-wing insect colony that had almost broken through the western front of K11.

With a swarm of this size, even if the proportion of cruisers in the fleet is not low due to the presence of Anike mercenaries, and it is equipped with a large number of subships, and with the help of top-level command skills like Pan Wen, it will probably be a disastrous victory to defeat it.

The fleet is not its own, and it is impossible to implement 100% of the battle orders, so Pan Wen naturally will not collide directly, and the fleet only stares at whether the swarm is dynamic, and refines the scan results to see if there are any small patrolling swarms.

The bugs seem to have made up their minds in K18 to hold on, and the fleet, which has been searching for no results, can only wait for information from the reconnaissance ship.

The second wave of intelligence arrived at K18 an hour later, and before the fleet left, a few long-range torpedoes were placed in an attempt to disgust the bugs that were piling up, and it didn't matter if they could hit anything.

Along with intelligence, the fleet came to K20, and the plan could finally move to the implementation stage.

When the fleet formulates a reconnaissance plan for a class of reconnaissance ships outside the warning range, the K20 is the main observation target, not only does it have two inhabitants with a small land area, but according to the information that has been collected, there is also a planet with a poisonous atmosphere that can also be infected by bugs, because it has left the warning range of a class of reconnaissance ships, several planets are still fine.

Pan Wen didn't know how far the bug had evolved, but he thought that there was a limit to the exploitation of the planet, and it would definitely be affected by the planet's conditions.

Assuming that the insects can use the resources ten kilometers below the surface, the total amount that can be obtained in K20 may not be as good as that obtained by K30 alone, of course, if the insects can withstand the pressure and heat of 10,000 meters of seabed digging around, and have a way to send resources from the area that collapses at any time to the surface, it will be more difficult to estimate. On the whole, if the swarm does not bet on the jump circle in K20, there is a high probability that the bunching situation will be scattered, and it will not cause too much pressure on the fleet per unit time, which may be a suitable test site.

The actual situation was slightly worse than expected, but considering that it might be worse to continue to penetrate into the swarm territory, Pan Wen decided to start fighting on the spot.

The first-class reconnaissance ship is not equipped with the hyperspace information equipment that only cruisers have space to carry, and of course, there is no opportunity to use it if it is carried in its action mode, so although it has done preliminary reconnaissance, for the sake of caution, the fleet still scans to confirm the situation while approaching the first test site.

The swarm of K20 is roughly divided into six waves at this time, not to mention whether it is hidden from the ecliptic plane, the distribution of the six waves is relatively even, there is a wave around each of the three infected planets, and there is a wave on each of the triangles formed by the three planets, and the total mass according to the scan is only slightly larger than that of K18.

In the face of a soft persimmon with only one-sixth of the strength of a single point, of course, you have to pinch it!

At this stage of the war between the swarm and the humans, a clear conversion formula has been figured out. Due to the advantage of the range of the main fire, in the face of insect swarms found outside the range, the human fleet can destroy the insects equivalent to 1.3 times the total mass of the fleet before the insect swarm starts full firepower, and then it will begin to have losses. In a situation like the Test Fleet, the advantage is even greater, as the defender swarm has zero activation speed, and only one of them, the less threatening bug, can gain enough speed in an instant.

What Pan Wen wants to carry out is to test the theory in battle, and it will be a little troublesome to sort out the data, but the essence itself is a stable object with a high total energy content, which is easy to be observed by the reconnaissance equipment, and it is completely possible to choose an information cracking program according to the situation generated by the essence.

The first battle was not long, and the test fleet took down the swarm defenders of the second resident star with twelve frigates damaged and no damage, and obtained four essences, one of which is presumed to belong to the large war bug from the energy content.

The projection anti-living weapons involved in the test, each warhead carried different information, the amplitude and frequency of the wave were also different, and the results of the wreckage area were not very consistent, one of the four worms was gone, but there was a shell wrapped, and one was still wrapped in a small amount of living tissue.

The subject may have hidden unknown risks, and after inquiring about the interior of the fleet, a certain chamber of commerce provided a fully automatic lightweight supply ship to load, of course, all the essence and accessories must be magnetically bound and vacuum-sealed before boarding.

A small number of bugs escaped from the battle, and the fleet did not chase and did not destroy the planet, so as to be able to roughly guess the command of the swarm in K20, Pan Wen was not willing to take less than half of the Anike mercenaries to fight the demon king.

This time the situation is better, and the demon kings are not all over the place. The bugs without the command of the real leader are not very good, and the three patrol swarms leaned towards the second resident star one after another.

Although the patrol swarm attempted to assemble when it approached Resident Star 2 for about three million kilometers, one wave was intercepted by the test fleet, and the other wave was swept down at the end of the day.

Because of the reconnaissance advantage, the time was calculated in advance, and after these two waves, the third intelligence of the first-class reconnaissance ship arrived at K20 in less than twenty minutes. At this time, it was difficult for the K20 to continue to ensure safety, and the fleet did not continue to be greedy for more test data, cleaned up the battlefield, and by the way, dropped a sufficient number of ground-to-ground missiles on the No. 2 resident satellite and left directly.

A total of twelve essences were obtained from the operation, and there were various situations, although there was no guarantee that the professional anti-swarm weapon would be able to be obtained quickly, and with the data extracted later, it should be no problem to provide a clear and feasible idea for the professionals of the BU Project...... bar.
