Speaking of which.

The Marauder Mothership of the Mechanical Civilization, albeit using Jump Technology.

But there's something about it.

After each jump, it took less than a minute for the jump to take place again.

Although it does not break the limit of 10 light-seconds for a single jump, but...

There is only a 40-second gap between these two jumps, and even the Federation has not been able to do this.

From some points of view, if it is only the movement within the galaxy, this kind of transition technology of mechanical civilization is not much weaker than the first generation of hyperspace technology of the Federation.

Less than ten minutes.

Five huge mechanical planets have appeared fifty light-seconds away from the Pioneer Fleet.

Or scattered in five different directions.

It is clear that from the very beginning, the mechanical civilization was ready to attack from five directions at the same time.

------

Although, on each Marauder mothership, only one fleet of mechanical civilizations is carried.

And each Slayer warship only carried a thousand autonomous Annihilator combat weapons.

However, the combat power on the Marauder Mothership is far more than a million autonomous Annihilator combat weapons.

Because...

In addition to the shipborne ones.

Inside the Marauder Mothership, there are millions of Annihilators themselves.

In other words, every Marauder mothership has at least two hundred Annihilators on board.

And five Marauder motherships are 10 million Annihilators.

That's a bit scary.

After all, even before, when the Pioneer Fleet first arrived in the Sid system, it was only faced with 120,000 Annihilators.

This ended with the loss of a number of battleships.

Therefore, 10 million annihilators are not so easy to deal with.

Slayer warships are constantly sailing out from the five mechanical planets.

And these Slayer warships, after leaving the mechanical planet, are also quickly releasing the Annihilator combat weapons.

At the same time, inside the Iron Planet itself, a large number of annihilators were also like locusts, swarming out along several passages.

"Commander, how do I feel about this mechanical civilization..."

"With a hint of the smell of the Starry Sky Zerg back then?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also smiled bitterly.

If you really want to say it, there are really a lot of similarities between the mechanical civilization and the Zerg.

The Zerg's forte is reproduction, and then numbers are king.

And the strength of mechanical civilization is production, and if it is not restricted, it will also form a terrifying number.

If species and prejudice are put aside, in fact, the reproduction of the Zerg and the production of mechanical civilization are the same concept.

That's...

Fast, and extremely unreasonable...

Expanding their own race.

"Commander, do you want to let the fleet go up first, and take advantage of the release of those marauder motherships to come and strike a few waves?"

On the side, Adjutant Ling Xiao asked.

After all, those Marauder motherships are big and slow.

And it is still in the process of constantly releasing troops.

The most important thing is that the distance chosen by the mechanical civilization is exactly fifty lightseconds away from the development fleet.

In other words, a slight advance of the pioneer fleet would be enough to bring it into range.

In fact, Jiang Xingchen didn't think about this way, but in the end he vetoed it.

It doesn't make much sense.

Even the Slayer could resist a few space attacks, Jiang Xingchen didn't believe that the defense of these Marauder Motherships would be even weaker.

Besides, if you take the initiative to attack, you won't be able to destroy the original battle plan.

Even if it will not be destroyed, there is a high probability that it will arouse the vigilance of mechanical civilization.

This is not what Jiang Xingchen wants.

Therefore, it is better to follow the plan in place and first solve their main combat power, that is, the combat weapon of the Air Annihilator.

After that, deal with the toothless tigers, the main map battleship, and the Marauder mothership.

This is enough insurance.

"No, keep monitoring the target's movements, and report as soon as they start marching!"

"Yes, Commander!"

------

After more than ten minutes.

All the Slayer ships, as well as the Marauder Mothership, have released all the Annihilators.

This calculation is as much as 10.98 million.

The next moment, without any rest, tens of millions of annihilators, like locusts from five directions, headed towards the position of the development fleet...

Pour in!

In this regard, Jiang Xingchen directly issued an order to fire.

Of course, at this distance, the only thing that can fire is a spatial cut or a spatial penetration attack.

This kind of single-point attack has almost nothing to gain.

But for such a result, Jiang Xingchen was very calm and did not rush at all.

And Li Yao reported the distance every once in a while.

42 light seconds...

41 light seconds...

......

36 light seconds!

"Report, the target is starting to enter the traction deceleration net, do you want to activate it now?"

"Don't worry, calm down!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Soon, another few minutes passed.

Li Yao is still constantly reporting, but at this moment, what he is reporting is no longer distance, but...

99%...

100%...

"Commander, the target has all entered the traction deceleration net."

"Now, activate the traction deceleration net!"

"Yes, Commander, the traction deceleration net is activated!"

Consists of an infinite number of nodes, and a greater number of emerald green beams.

A large net was formed in an instant, and the thickness was more than 30 light seconds.

And at the moment when the traction deceleration net was set on fire, all the Annihilator combat weapons that were advancing at high speed seemed to be smashed into the car board, and they collectively paused.

Then, they were still accelerating, but now they began to slow down.

It's slow, but it's decreasing.

"Order all fleets, turn on all firepower, and destroy the enemy!"

"Understood!"

Previously, both the attack interval and the attack density were instantly enhanced.

Not only the annihilators who were affected by the acceleration but also the maneuver were suddenly blown up by the volley.

Then, as its speed became slower, so did its maneuvers.

Almost every wave of attacks in the Pioneer Fleet can increase the hit rate by a cut.

Of course, according to the pre-war simulation, no matter how much the hit rate can be improved at this distance, a 10% is already the limit.

After all, the distance is too far, and the traction deceleration net can't directly reduce the speed of the annihilator to zero.

The hit rate is still doomed to be limited.

And most importantly...

The mechanical civilization will naturally calculate that if it continues to advance like this, it can only be slowly wiped out by the pioneer fleet.

According to the way that mechanical civilization determines by calculation, most will...

After a while, sure enough...

"Commander, all the Annihilators are starting to retreat, and it is expected that in three minutes they will be out of range of the traction deceleration net."

"Sure enough... Command all fleets to follow the pre-eucalyptus of the seventh! ”

"Yes, Commander!"
