"Commander, in the past three weeks, the fleets have achieved remarkable results, even on the side of the affiliated civilization mercenary fleet, the number of insect groups annihilated has reached 167."

"At this rate, maybe it will only take 3-4 years for us to clean up all the Zerg in the Small Migelan System!"

Inside the bridge of the battlestar Kaitian.

Ling Xiao stood next to Jiang Xingchen, reporting the latest gathered information.

Due to the absence of the queen and the unified command of the prince, the whole operation went more smoothly than expected.

If this continues, it will not be far from completely eradicating the Starry Sky Zerg...

However, Jiang Xingchen did not show the joy that Ling Xiao expected, but frowned slightly.

Indeed, whether it is a hunting operation or a frontal battle of the mercenary fleet of affiliated civilizations, it can be said to be very smooth.

But unlike the Zerg Princes, their queen is not dead.

Not only is she not dead, but even according to the latest analysis from the Biological Academy, it can be basically concluded that the Zerg Queen is in the process of evolution, but the time it will take to complete her evolution cannot be judged at present.

This also means that once its evolution is complete, the Federation will need to face a fifth-order biological civilization individual.

This is not good news.

Therefore, even though the battle has been very smooth in recent weeks, Jiang Xingchen is still not happy.

Because...

He really didn't have anything to do with the chrysalis that Ayinsha had turned into.

Except for bombarding with zero-point bombs, everything else has been tried, and even a gravity bomb has been thrown, but it still can't be destroyed.

And the aggregate created by the space collapse cannon before is even providing energy for Ayinsha's evolution.

It's a dog.

At this moment, the alarm in the bridge was loud.

"Report immediately!"

"Commander, we left a light-year-old probe with the Zerg Queen, and we found a strange fleet, located not far from the Zerg Queen."

......

......

Not far from the Zerg Queen?

Isn't that on the edge of the polymer, and there's a repeated collapse polymerization reaction going on there.

Unknown fleet?

Where did the fleet come from, wouldn't they be affected by the collapse polymerization reaction?

On the side, Ling Xiao had a bunch of questions in his mind.

"Is there a way to make observations?"

"No, it's too far away!"

"If you send a warship, how long can you hold out there?"

"With the space shield activated, up to 30 seconds, Commander!"

"Go ahead immediately, let the nearest fleet immediately deploy a warship and send it over through hyperspace in a remote control way!"

"Yes, Commander!"

------

At the same time, Ayinsha's location.

A hundred miniature warships, which seemed to be only a few tens of meters long, were now surrounding the energy worm chrysalis that Ayinsha had transformed.

"Commander, confirmed, it's the target!"

"However, there is an unnatural collapse and polymerization reaction going on in this entire area, which should be caused by the space collapse cannon."

Inside one of the battleships.

An officer of the Silver Light Empire was reporting to another officer.

"Tsk, there are also fifth-order civilizations on the edge of this universe, and I always thought that these natives were only fourth-order civilizations at most!"

"Commander, according to the scan, in this galaxy, there are a large number of fifth-order civilizations and quasi-fifth-order civilization warships, which are attacking and killing a biological civilization race, and the ones who are attacked and killed are likely to be the target's kindred."

"It's not a small amount of courage, this is the future totem holy beast of the empire, and it would be a capital crime to dare to do something to it!"

"Commander, no, the three elders have explained, don't cause any trouble, this mission must be carried out covertly, otherwise it may attract other ninth-order civilizations, in that case, the empire will be in danger."

"Cut, trouble!"

A look of dissatisfaction, but the same.

Under the reminder of the deputy, he also dispelled the urge to destroy the Federation.

After all, once something happens and other ninth-order civilizations take notice, then the empire will be really dangerous.

He can't afford this responsibility.

"That's okay, arrange for recovery immediately, be careful with me, this is the guarantee for our empire to seize the throne in the future, don't hurt it."

"Yes, Commander!"

The next moment, on a Hemerson-class battleship, several unknown devices with a length of no more than ten centimeters were separated.

Its surface has a metal-like surface, but with some different metallic luster.

You can't see any engines or attitude controls, but you can fly quickly.

A moment later, they were already at an equal distance, hovering around Ayinsha, and a beam of energy connected these devices together.

Then, an even more bizarre imagination appeared.

The energy body that enveloped Ayinsha, like a chrysalis, was shrinking.

There is no sign of stopping, and even as time goes by, this shrinkage continues to accelerate.

Until...

When it shrank to the size of a football football, it finally stopped.

"Commander, the target area has been compressed and solidified!"

"Okay, let's start recycling!"

"Yes!"

------

At the same time.

Hundreds of light-years away.

Open Sky Battle Star.

"Commander, the Zerg Queen's reaction is gone!"

"How long will it take for the battleship to arrive!"

"Seven seconds!"

"Turn the live feed as soon as you arrive!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Sitting on the command chair, Jiang Xingchen frowned again.

The Zerg Queen disappears?

No, the Zerg Queen will not disappear inexplicably, it should be what the fleet of that unknown civilization has done.

Only, what did they do?

At this time, there was no time for Jiang Xingchen to think too much.

Because...

"Commander, the battleship has arrived, and the observation screen is being synchronized, and it is completed simultaneously!"

Subsequently, an image was projected on the bridge.

Merely...

The picture in this image is pitch black and there is nothing.

"Where's the picture?"

"Commander, the battleship has lost contact and is suspected to have been destroyed!"

"Impossible, doesn't it mean that the Pangu-class space shield can support the battleship to resist the collapse and polymerization reaction for about thirty seconds?"

Hearing the answer, Jiang Xingchen didn't speak yet.

Ling Xiao on the side had already shouted.

"Ling Xiao, calm down!"

"Maybe it's not because of this, but because of that fleet."

"Li Yao, check the data received and see if there is anything missing."

first stopped Ling Xiao, and then Jiang Xingchen said to the radar officer Li Yao.

"Yes, Commander!"

Soon, Li Yao began to analyze the data he received.

And soon, Li Yao found that although it seemed that he had not received anything, he had actually received some data, although it was only a 0.07-second image.

"Commander, it's been extracted, but it's only 0.07 seconds of footage."

"Play it out!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Moments later, an image was projected onto the bridge.

After all, it's only 0.07 seconds, which is almost a frame, so it looks like a still picture, not an image.

In this picture, all can see that a burst of bright light appears in the view of the battleship.

There will be nothing else.

So, they still have no idea what's going on.

"Li Yao, slow this video down 100 times, and then play it again."

"Yes!"

Hearing the order, Li Yao immediately complied.

And then weird things happened.

In the video, a triangular battleship appeared in front of the Pangu-class battleship, and then somewhere suddenly lit up on its casing where no weapons could be seen at all.

Then, a cyan light flashed and headed straight for the Pangu-class battleship.

This picture is very inconsistent.

Because these few seconds of the picture make people feel it at all, it is a hundredfold slowdown effect.

On the contrary...

It gives people the effect of fast-forwarding the picture.

"Commander, what is this?"

On the side, he also saw the sense of disobedience in the image, and Ling Xiao couldn't help asking.

"On the side of the Central Academy of Sciences, a theory was once put forward that although the fifth-order civilization came into contact with space technology, it was only the surface of space technology."

"Therefore, even the sixth-order civilization and even the seventh-order civilization will continue to cultivate on the space path until it is studied to the limit."

"So, where will the higher-level civilization step into?"

"It's time!"

"And although we have mastered some time techniques, such as time bubbles, and time effect countermeasures, this is only an accidental mastery, and we have only learned some scratches of the surface."

"According to the illusion of the Academy of Sciences, the real application of time technology is much more complicated than these."

"For example, if you launch a normal energy weapon until it hits an enemy, it can't be faster than the speed of light."

"But if you really master time technology, then even with a railgun, you can hit a target hundreds of thousands of light-seconds away at the moment of fire."

"Because of the time technology embedded in the attack, you may see it as a flash of light, but in reality, that beam may have been flying for a minute, an hour, or even longer."

"The same is true for defense, creating a special time barrier around the battleship, and all the fire entering it will become as if it were stationary."

"Of course, these are just assumptions from the Academy of Sciences."

After explaining, Jiang Xingchen added.

It's just that when Ling Xiao looked at the road again, the image screen was played again.

I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart.

Start today...

I'm afraid this is no longer imaginary, is it?

It's just that Jiang Xingchen and Ling Xiao at this moment haven't realized it yet.

The so-called time technology is still carried on those Hemerson-class warships...

The lowest level of technology.

Because, that is only a technology that a seventh-order civilization can begin to master, it does not represent the strength of a ninth-order civilization at all.

In terms of its technical difficulty, it is probably in the eyes of the Federation...

It's about the same level of difficulty as the jump technique.
