"Ahem," Colonel A pretended to cough and motioned for everyone to continue.

"This is just a very, very basic operational diagram, in fact, at the beginning, we also thought that we only needed the fleet to press over and let the army all of us go, after all, the space combat force of the King of the Meda Clan had been completely wiped out by the starfleet when the fleet had just entered the Zymz star field. And the only surviving space combat forces are more assessed and cannot threaten the carrying ships of the ground offensive forces. “

Speaking of this, Ankang also remembered that in the annex of the mission briefing, there was indeed a video about fighting against the space forces of the King Meda Clan's insect swarm. At that time, Ankang happened to have nothing to do, so he took it out and looked at it, and found that because it was all from a human perspective, he could only see a Starfleet cruiser constantly opening the missile launch port to launch jump missiles. There are no thrilling and intense scenes like in ancient science fiction movies. (Note 1)

"But......" Colonel A paused slightly, waiting for the projection to begin to change again.

In everyone's astonished eyes, the binary star system composed of ZMZ-1 and 2 began to gradually become smaller, but it was still possible to see the two planets orbiting and rotating with the naked eye. But on this larger macroscopic scale, red dots began to appear around, and soon, a sphere of "small red dots" that "wrapped" the entire binary star system in it appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

And everyone, including Ankang, also found that there was a difference between those little red dots, some of which were lighter in color, and some of which were darker, but there were only these two differences.

"These red dots are a certain kind of defense equipment of the King Muda Clan's insect swarm, or it can also be called a kind of creature." Colonel A continued, and along with his explanation, the image on the projection also changed to a giant cone-like creature, and the projection, although it was a projection, showed all the details of this existence to all present. Their epidermis is not smooth, but is covered by a substance that appears to be a stratum corneum. However, the cuticle near the spire of the "cone" gradually decreases, revealing the biological structure within, and exhibits a thruster-like structure. At the same time, Colonel A attached a comparison table with the length of the UN Starfleet cruiser.

From the projection, it is very easy to see that each of these huge objects is thirty kilometers long. The cruiser of the UN Starfleet is simply a small point in front of this kind of behemoth.

"The thirty-kilometer-long object forms a sphere that encloses the binary star system of ZYMZ-1 and 2. The fleet and intelligence services will name them D1 bugs for the time being. At the same time, I believe you have also noticed that some of the red dots are darker. That's actually a D1 bug that has entered a state of phased invisibility. ”

When hearing that so many huge bugs had entered the phase space, no one present was not surprised, because everyone knew that there were only UN and the Cyborg Republic in the universe that had this ability, and that there were indeed civilizations or races with phase capabilities in the Confederacy, but they were not enough for so many objects to exist in the phase space for a long time. Even the use of the most rudimentary phase stealth does not go to the point of "wrapping" the entire binary system.

The projection reverts to the ball made up of small red dots.

An Kang stared at the projection in front of him, and suddenly found that the distribution of the darker red dots representing the entry into phase stealth was very regular, and it could be seen almost at a glance, as if the entire sphere was divided into pieces like a fulcrum, and then those light-colored small red dots were filled in a mess.

An Kang skimmed the people around him, thinking that they should have also discovered this phenomenon.

"Colonel, is it because of the previous generation of overlord-level civilization that the D1 worm was able to enter phase stealth on such a large scale and seemed to remain for a long time? The distribution of these D1 bugs that enter phase stealth is very regular. An ensign asked, raising his hand.

Indeed, after Colonel A changed the projection screen from the whole body map and analysis map of the D1 insect to the "arming map" of the D1 insect, he also attached a "reference scale", and this "reference scale" is the Earth-Moon system with the longest distance between the Earth and the Moon.

Through this "reference scale". You can intuitively find that the radius of the entire circle formed by the D1 worm is roughly longer than the distance between the entire Earth and the Moon, just like a Dyson sphere.

This means that a large number of D1 bugs have been phased invisible for long periods of time, which is almost unimaginable for civilizations outside of the UN and the Cyborg Republic.

But the facts are in front of you, but combined with the previous speech of Colonel A, some UAV commanders will involuntarily think of the things of the previous generation of hegemon-level civilizations.

Colonel A also quickly answered his question, first of all, he nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, this should be the handiwork of the previous generation of overlord-level civilizations, and we have found through experiments that entering the phase stealth in those nodes, whether it is the difficulty of entering or the energy consumption required to maintain the phase state, is much smaller than entering from normal space." Our human phase technology is also unable to achieve constant phase space. Therefore, in this respect, the technological level of the previous generation of hegemon-level civilizations is somewhat stronger than ours. As for their usefulness, it may be that from the analysis of our technicians, they were used as a platform for a certain gamma line burst weapon. You should all know that during the Fourth Expedition, Starfleet jumped a brown dwarf star and a neutron star and merged them to release a gamma-ray blast to destroy the Confederate Fourth Combined Fleet, right? That's pretty much the feeling, except that our technologists think that maybe the phase stealth in those phase spaces should have been some jump devices or something, but they were damaged after an unknown number of years. Colonel A paused. The projection in front of people's eyes transforms into a deduction animation, in which a battleship of the orbital fleet jumps directly into the D1 worm "protective circle", and then this battleship crashes directly into a D1 worm.

"According to our experiments, if a ship sails directly into this defensive circle through any kind of hyperspace, then the D1 worm in phase space can intercept it. However, if you approach a binary system through regular sailing, you will be attacked by the D1 bug that surrounds the entire binary system. ”

A video appeared again in the projection, and a D1 worm immediately counterattacked after receiving the attack and accelerated towards the attack position, I have to say, the acceleration can be regarded as very fast. Then it disappeared in everyone's surprised eyes.

"And there's what could be considered a primitive jump weapon, although it's very easy to intercept." Colonel A added.

Note 1: Due to the extreme distance during the battle between ships and ships, there are several cruisers in the distance that are barely visible in the footage captured by the photographic drone. In fact, the formation of those four cruisers killed countless King Swarm units. (To be continued.) )
