The biggest headache for humans is that there is no way to gain any benefits from the battle!

When fighting against the human fleet, even if there is some damage, it will not be too much of a loss after recovering the materials and equipment of the ships of both the enemy and the enemy at the same time. However, when the bug dies, there are only some ashes, gases and discrete energy, maybe there is something valuable inside the big bug, such as the core of storing energy, but human technology can't capture these things, looking for an unknown thing in space, the size, shape, color characteristics can't be confirmed, even if the radius is reduced to 100,000 kilometers and looking for a day, it may not be rewarding.

This kind of loss is a loss, and there is no benefit if it is won, and it has become another important factor in the D21 orbital fleet's reluctance to devote most of its strength to deal with the mutated swarm on the E7 satellite.

There is some reason for raising tigers to make trouble, today, this group of mutated guys in turn forced Pan Wen's Caesar III and two Cam X-VI frigates straight away, as for the loss of the D21 orbital fleet before he came, there is no time to care about it for the time being.

"Some of those bugs should have ended their growth period ahead of schedule, produced a large-scale mutation, and already had Hu Dun, whose strength is equivalent to that of a new light cruiser, and the means of attack are unknown, so it can only be confirmed that they cannot do ultra-long-range strikes."

After speaking, Pan Wen looked at Kareida, whose face was a little pale, and waited for her to react.

The current situation seems to be that Pan Wen's sneak attack caused the swarm to mutate, but after a little thought, it is clear that Pan Wen will not fight today, and when those bugs take the initiative to mutate, there will be no turning point for the failure of the D21 development plan.

Kareda had already had a general understanding of the situation by observing the data provided by the satellite in the orbit of Haimer Star, and she thought a lot about it before receiving the communication from Pan Wen, and at this time she learned the strength of the enemy, and simply closed her eyes.

After a long while, she opened her eyes again, and her emerald eyes stared at Pan Wen: "Master Pan, what are you going to do if the command of the entire fleet is handed over to you?" ”

A woman who grew up in a big family since she was a child, and has invested almost all her belongings, and today she has to hand over the command to someone else in order to keep the existing achievements, and she will definitely not be very comfortable in her heart. In fact, no matter how dangerous it seems now, she still has a way to go, and that is to ask her family for help. But if the power of the Gujemet family is really used, everything in D21 will be nothing to do with her.

Although the noble daughter who grew up in a large family had all kinds of advantages, once she lost power, she never turned over again, which was more unacceptable to her than working with a dangerous pirate leader like Pan Wen, so it was almost inevitable that she would make this choice.

However, Pan Wen has little interest in fighting for power, on the contrary, he prefers to spend some effort to reassure his allies, and not to think about playing yin at every turn. Listened to her opinion, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Just transfer back my fleet, plus cargo ships and engineers."

"Cargo ship? Engineer? ”

"That's right, if you go to a sneak attack in the current situation, the benefit-risk ratio is too great, I think we should find some stones to blow up E7."

"But time ......"

"I'll divide the fleet into two parts, one part to guerrilla operations in the vicinity and take out as many big guys as possible, and the other part to protect the cargo ships to pull the stones."

There is no way to do it, after the big bugs mutate, even if they don't have any attack power, just relying on the huge body to cover the bugs is enough for the orbital fleet to drink a pot, and there is no need to mention how dangerous the other abilities that cannot be confirmed for the time being are. The loss of the orbital fleet in the early stage has reduced the size of the fleet, and it can only rely on the defense facilities of the D21 orbital area for passive combat, and it is obviously unrealistic to just kill all the bugs head-on. Therefore, Pan Wen believes that the only way now is to drag on the time and use the asteroid to strike at E7 as soon as possible, in order to cut off the logistics source of the bugs, once the bugs run out of logistics, they can be eliminated sooner or later by using the range advantage of human warships.

Kareda was very clear about the situation, and knew that if all the big bugs were converted to the cruiser level, the D21 orbital fleet would have to defend only one way but to escape, and if it was busy for the time being, there would be no need to come back, and the orbital port, the orbital factory, and the satellite port under construction would be ruined, and the project would be over.

"Okay, just do what you say, Master Pan, I will arrange the fleet, please get rid of the bugs as soon as possible."

…… Yes, when Pan Wen was communicating, he was followed by a lot of bugs.

During the retreat, the Golden dropped mines, but the garbage bugs and fighters are of the same level, small and flexible, and the mine group is to slightly limit the speed of their counterattack to buy time for the Golden to accelerate again, and by the way, blow up a very small part slightly, and cannot blow them up.

It seems that it is useless, but the retreat action still has some effect during the time that Pan Wen communicates with the orbital fleet, at least the formation of the swarm is becoming more and more chaotic rather than more neat. The Raid Swarm also contains the command bugs that were observed at the time, and as the distance from E7 weakens, the command effect decreases, and it seems to be used to support the argument that the swarm has a command leader.

Now is not the time to care about that, it's not fun to have hundreds of thousands of bugs behind you, even if the Gold, Ensign No. 1, and Heavy Hammer are all very good warships, and the firepower coverage ability is very weak in front of this order of magnitude.

It's not a good idea to go to a place beyond the planet Hymer, and after leaving the area, the free particles in Egypt will be reduced, and both sides can increase the acceleration, and then a large ship like the Golden will be at a disadvantage and will not be able to keep their distance. In the Halo Zone, it is possible to borrow the defense zone of the D21 orbital fleet to fight the bugs, but after a little consideration, Pan Wen gave up this route, the previous suppression of the bugs has made the crews of the allies not have a good rest for a long time, and it is not known how many battles will be fought after that, even if it is good to let them sit at their posts for a little longer.

As for the swarm of insects in pursuit, there is a path that ordinary people simply can't think of.

"We'll take them through halo belts!"

"Huh!?" The navigator's mind didn't turn for a while, and he made a strange voice before responding, "Hi, sir!" ”

When she looked at Nadezhda, she also responded with a puzzled look.

"Inform the frigate and oversized mechs accordingly"

"Got it."

The halo belt is undoubtedly a very dangerous area for warships, with a high density of stones and crystals, and it is very easy to break down the armor layer and other accidents when passing at high speed.

However, when being pursued by the swarm, the aura belt is actually a good place to go, although the size of the bugs is smaller, but the number of groups is large, and the slowdown or evasion actions of dozens or hundreds of bugs will have many knock-on effects, so the swarm as a whole can only pass at a slower speed than a fleet with only three warships, which will provide a gap for the fleet to attack.

Due to the previous long-range attack on E7, the position of the fleet after retreating was less than 100,000 kilometers above the halo, in order to obtain a good attack position after passing through, the fleet made a slow parabolic movement.

Approaching the halo zone, seeing dense stones, ice crystals, etc., still makes people's scalp tingle.

Now the fleet's moving speed is less than 200 kilometers per second, and it won't be a big problem to hit it, but repairs, paintings, etc. can be saved, Pan Wen still uses authority management, and lets the second host Doudou assist the interception system to clean up the larger obstacles. Both frigates were also instructed to get as close as possible to the moving orbit of the Gold to mitigate the impact.

In the last few seconds of the journey, the interceptor guns fired small pillars of light one after another at a distance of less than a thousand kilometers.

Next.

"Warning, the battleship is being hit by celestial debris...... The impact ends. ”

Before the warning from the host could be finished, the thin halo band had already passed!

There is a limit to the amount of fragments that can be targeted by interceptive fire, and some fist-sized ones can only be hit within one or two hundred kilometers, and there is almost no time to deal with them, so the impact still occurs.

The battleship will be designed to consider the impact of celestial debris during navigation, behind the bow armor is an isolated multilayer structure, celestial fragments will become dust after penetrating the armor and shoot on this layer, there is also inner armor behind, safety will not be a problem, and the purpose of intercepting fire is only to keep the outer armor as much as possible.

The sound of small fragments hitting the armor could not be heard in the bridge control room, and the size of the Golden made it impossible for the impact feeling in front to reach the control room, and the crew naturally did not face the pressure of the impact, confirming that they had passed through the halo belt, and the idle post immediately resumed the work at hand.

As Ensign No. 1 and the Golden passed through the halo a few seconds slower, the fleet maintained the direction of inertia and began to adjust its attitude, at the current speed, even if only the auxiliary thrusters were used to fly backwards, they would not slow down, but for the sake of a good attack position, the Golden did not activate the auxiliary thrusters, and the two frigates only advanced slightly, still maintaining the direction behind the side of the Gold.

The swarm followed closely, because the maneuver of the Panvin fleet before passing through the halo belt shortened the distance, and dozens of seconds ago, some bugs had already released some plasma balls scattered, but the number was not enough to cause actual damage to the two heavy frigates escorting, but only ate some shield energy.

The warring sides are separated by a halo belt, if it is a human commander, they will think carefully about the next action, or shoot at the spot from a distance, the bugs do not think so, they do not slow down at all and rush towards the halo belt, as the distance is shortened, more and more bugs begin to lose plasma balls.

"Gun positions three and four will start attacking, and keep firing freely until the battle is over."

Against dense insect swarms, the beam-type main cannon with a short range and low energy output per unit time when firing has finally been transformed into the protagonist, switching to non-pulse mode to attack first.

Some metallic stones in the aura will attract some plasma clusters, and the originally disadvantaged fleet, taking advantage of the geographical environment of the aura, temporarily ignored the plasma numerical advantage of the swarm, and was able to comfortably pass through the aura that does not affect the directed energy weapon, and inflicted a wave of blows on the swarm first, and when the distance continued to close, other main guns, including the two frigates, also joined the attack queue to sweep the bugs with weak defenses.

By the time the swarm was finally ready to pass through the aura, the Panvin fleet had wiped out nearly a third of its numbers, half of which was hit by beam-type main guns. This thing attacks enemies within 100,000 kilometers in non-pulse mode, and it takes two or three seconds for the beam of light to shoot for more than ten seconds to balance the temperature, and don't kill insects too quickly.

But the remaining two-thirds still have tens of thousands of bugs, even if they can take advantage of the process of passing, as long as there are tens of thousands of bugs collectively discharging plasma, there is an interception system that can't survive, so Pan Wen issued an order for the next stage in advance.

"Enable low-speed barrage defense, pay attention to maintaining the accuracy of firepower."

…… After all, the weapon advantage is still too great, and the barrage of the three ships may not be able to cope with the plasma of 100,000 bugs at the same time, but the help of the aura has weakened the aggressiveness of the bugs by half, and the ones that have been drilled are still being attacked by the main and auxiliary guns, and various factors add up to give the fleet enough time to arrange a metal barrage with a "slightly higher" density, so as to buy more time for each gun position to destroy more bugs.

The battle continued for a few more minutes, and a not-so-unexpected accident appeared.

"Captain, the aura appears in the hot spot of firepower, do you balance the attack or continue to enhance the aura?"

Of course, the aura will not be the momentum of some people, it is just the name of the excessive degree of gasification in the firepower zone. Because the enemy is a bug, the degree of vaporization of the organism by the blow of a high-energy weapon will be much higher than that of the machine, and the blocking of the aura makes too many bugs die in the shooting hotspot, and then there is an obvious high-temperature gaseous environment.

The existence of the aura is bidirectional, the plasma mass of the insect will accelerate the dissociation through the aura area, and the high-energy particles of various cannons will also be affected, and the power will be reduced or even distorted.

"The beam cannon is responsible for enhancing the aura, and the rest remains free fire."

In today's situation, the aura appeared in a timely manner, regardless of whether it was a battleship or an insect, if it does not slow down through the obvious gas environment, it will cause the surface temperature to increase rapidly by thousands of degrees, obviously the insect cannot withstand this temperature, the existence of this thing will further hinder the efficiency of the insect swarm through the halo belt, of course, you have to kill as many insects as possible in it to slow down the gas escape.

The appearance of the aura was already doomed, Pan Wen paid attention to the situation in the aura area, and then moved his attention to the direction of E7, where there were still more than ninety big guys.
