502 Key points that determine the outcome

[Punisher's critical system repair progress 57.2%]

[Some weapons can be used for a short time]

[The main gun has lost its repair value, give up repairing]

[In order to confuse the target, abandon the shell and repair some damaged weapons]

[After the repair, the combat power is assessed as... 67.5%】

【Time Remaining... 17 days】

On one of the mechanical planets, the Mastermind is checking the progress of the Punisher's repair.

The wave of attacks that opened up the fleet was indeed unexpected for them.

As I said before, mechanical civilization has no creativity, let alone sporadic thinking.

And in their libraries, there really isn't a civilization that uses hyperspace engines as weapons.

Naturally, there will be no preparedness for this approach.

As a result, the punisher, who was already close to completion, was hit hard.

Fortunately, in addition to the main gun, the rest of the systems and modules can still be repaired.

However, on the one hand, in order to confuse the development fleet, the mechanical civilization gave up dozens of destruction points on the shell, as well as the repair of the large hole with a diameter of 180 kilometers.

On the other hand, the main gun has completely lost its repair value.

Therefore, after calculating, even if the Punisher is repaired, I am afraid that it will only reach 67.5% of the original combat power.

But that's enough.

With a range of up to 80 light seconds and a full number of thousands of space particle beams, even without the main gun, it can form a huge advantage for the development fleet.

And with more than 200 million Annihilators.

After countless simulations, the mechanical civilization has been determined.

Once the Punisher is put into use, even though the Pioneer Fleet has hyperspace technology, they can't keep it if they want to run.

But if there is a head-to-head battle, there will be no such aggrieved thing at this moment.

Hold the front and create more punishers!

In less than a year, the mechanical civilization will be able to re-establish the whole of Barth.

As for the question of energy, just go to other galaxies and catch it.

This universe...

Lacking everything, there is no shortage of higher intelligent life races.

Besides, even if you don't go to other galaxies, with the genetic samples of so many races in the hands of mechanical civilizations, you can also clone a large number of individuals in a short period of time for emergencies.

In short, as long as the punisher comes out and repels the enemy, the energy problem can naturally be solved.

However, just as the main brain is calculating along this logic.

[Hyperspace reaction detected, Qty 1]

【Coordinates****.****.**】

[Lack of necessary information to confirm the purpose]

[Responding to second-class measures]

[All annihilators within range, locked onto target]

【Start Interception】

------

Periphery of the Mechanical Civilization Array.

One was attacked by the Pioneer Fleet for three days in a row, opening a gap.

Unlike the rest of the array, it was so empty that not even a single Annihilator could be found.

And a blue, swirling hyperspace window suddenly bloomed within this black.

If it had been placed before, I am afraid that if this window had appeared, all the annihilators on the side would have been locked and ready to gather fire at any time.

But now, even the nearest Annihilator is almost 10 light-seconds away.

However, although they were 10 light-seconds away, they also completed the lock after receiving the command from the main brain.

The next moment, when the bow of a Pangu II battleship was revealed from the hyperspace window.

There are at least more than 300,000 annihilators...

At the same time, it fired!

It's just that with a distance of 10 light seconds, it can't be done

Instant kill.

In an instant, in less than three seconds, the Pangu II battleship had completely withdrawn from hyperspace.

Even so, the battleship that had just exited hyperspace could not avoid the hundreds of thousands of attacks.

After all, whether it's starting the engine, or accelerating, it takes time.

It's far from being done in a matter of seconds.

In addition, the hundreds of thousands of attacks of the mechanical civilization were still carried out in the form of regional fire.

Under the calculations of the mastermind, there is no possibility of avoiding this ship.

Then, just as the battleship was about to be hit, an accident appeared.

The entire space turned from black to white in an instant.

Pure white, nothing else!

And the coverage distance reached hundreds of light seconds, almost covering the outside of the mechanical civilization array, nearly half the depth of the annihilator area.

In the zero vacuum, it erupted!

Since the zero-point particle is not a particle of this universe, for this universe, it is a foreign object, an object to be excluded.

Thus, the repulsive force of the universe itself...

And so it appeared!

Nothing within the scope of the impact could escape, and all of them were repelled under this power and thrown into the subspace between the multiverses.

To put it figuratively, that is...

Exile!

This is the great power of the universe itself, and perhaps those eighth- and ninth-order civilizations can resist this power.

But it's definitely not the Federation, and it's not this mechanical civilization.

A few minutes later, when everything stopped.

Originally, it was just within the mechanical civilization array, and a cylindrical passage was chiseled.

Now...

It becomes a spherical area with a diameter of hundreds of light-seconds.

This area is as clean as if it has been cleaned.

Even if it's a few pieces of wreckage, or a small celestial body...

Couldn't find it!

-------

"Commander, the zero-point bomb has been successfully dropped, and all targets in the range have been emptied."

"Order, the legion directly under the headquarters, as well as the first legion, to launch an offensive from the front, and in the shortest possible time, give me a distance of at least 20 light-seconds!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Well, the remaining four fleets, let them be deployed around the two main attack fleets as planned, and intercept all attacks from the flanks!"

"Understood!"

Originally, after three days, the Pioneer Fleet had extended this gap inward by more than 40 light seconds.

Under the bombardment of this zero-point bomb, this depth was directly pushed to more than 80 light seconds.

So, just keep moving forward for 20 light seconds.

Then, it only takes one more zero-point bomb to threaten the mechanical planet inside, as well as the sheer number of Slayer warships.

After that, Jiang Xingchen would let the six legions go to a deeper place again in the way of hyperspace navigation.

Finally, it was the third zero bomb that appeared.

And this third...

It was enough to cover the inside of its array, most of the mechanical planets, the Slayer warships, and the huge...

Huge machines have been created.

Just get this thing done.

Behind...

Jiang Xingchen can toss the mechanical civilization at will.

To do this, three zero-point bombs with a small number of federal targets were thrown ...

Very cost-effective!

------

Sudden change.

The mechanical civilization is also a little unresponsive.

But the process was not long, and the reaction was quick.

All nearby

Annihilator, strike at once.

Block the retreat and encircle in all directions.

Moreover...

It is even more so that the Slayer fleet, which has a hyperspace engine, is ready to attack.

Obviously, the mechanical civilization has realized what Jiang Xingchen is going to do.

And the best way to deal with it is undoubtedly to drive the other party out as quickly as possible.

Then, let enough annihilators fill the gap again.

No...

Not only this, but also the other two gaps need to be filled.

Of course, there is no need to waste too many troops to fill the gap, as long as you make sure that within these three gaps, there must be a group of annihilators at every certain distance.

In this case, you can ensure that the opponent's warship will be destroyed directly as soon as it exits hyperspace.

There will be no more opportunities to use strategic-class weapons.

So...

Is it the pioneer fleet that advances faster?

Or is it the interception of mechanical civilizations, and the speed of dispelment?

This...

It will be the decisive factor in this war!
