Chapter 721 Wasp Swarm
"What is this spaceship used for?" In the space station next to the portal, the staff gathered together to discuss.
The appearance of this spaceship is too ugly, and the name is so rustic, which aroused the strong curiosity of these staff.
"I don't know, we have never heard of this spaceship, and we haven't searched for the existence of this spaceship in the imperial battleship database." A staff member shook his head.
In fact, not only these soldiers don't know the existence of this spaceship, but also the generals of the empire, and even the fleet commanders under Eva have never heard of this spaceship.
At this time, a group of Zeus-class battleships covered with scars suddenly broke away from hyperspace and came to the open space next to the portal.
"Quick! The fleet is back, and emergency repairs are carried out immediately!" Seeing these battleships covered with scars on their hulls, the maintenance drones waiting next to the portal rushed over.
Following these Zeus-class battleships were the cruisers and frigates of the empire.
Because their defense is much weaker than that of the Zeus-class, they suffered more severe losses during the retreat.
By the time they returned to the portal, there were less than half of the original cruisers and frigates left.
The last to retreat were the Empire's White Dwarf-class battleships and the flagship Fortress.
Because of their thick skin, none of the White Dwarf-class battleships were lost, and the Empire's flagship Fortress remained intact.
"The Imperial Fortress, the White Dwarf-class battleships, and the Hive Mothership No. 1 will reunite and prepare for the next battle!"
"All other battleships will be repaired near the portal and recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" Li Mingze issued an order to all battleships through the mental network.
The White Dwarf-class battleship and the Imperial Fortress, which had just jumped out of hyperspace, drew an arc in the air and were parallel to the Hive Mothership No. 1, which was moving away from the portal.
"The Imperial Fortress is ready to dock and merge with the Hive Mothership No. 1." Li Mingze pressed the pop-up consent button on the console.
The upper armor of the rear hull of the Hive Mothership No. 1 suddenly bulged, and then slid to both sides.
A huge hole was left in the center of the ship, and inside the hole was a dense mechanical structure.
The Imperial Fortress flew above the hole, constantly adjusting its posture and slowly descending.
Before the Imperial Fortress touched the bottom of the hole, it was firmly locked by the mechanical arm in the hole.
Countless pipelines stretched out from the mothership and inserted into the interface that the Imperial Fortress had just opened.
At this time, the two super battleships had merged into one, and the swarm mothership was equivalent to adding a supercomputer module and a reactor module that could produce more energy.
It also has the ability to destroy planets and stars at the same time. It can be said that after the two battleships merged, no one in this galaxy can stop them!
Although the armor of this swarm mothership is just ordinary armor, without dimensional armor and letter crystal armor, it can be seen from its name that it is a similar existence to an aircraft carrier.
For it, the battle has always occurred outside the visual range and will not threaten itself at all.
What's more, there are 50,000 of the most elite white dwarf-class battleships of the empire as its frigates, protecting its safety around it.
"Where is the enemy now? Have you scanned them?" Li Mingze asked Tianyi while looking at the hologram in front of him in the bridge of the Swarm Mothership, which is also the bridge of the Fortress.
"The enemy seems to have mastered the hyperspace wave shielding device. Our ordinary hyperspace detectors can't scan the opponent's dynamics at all."
"But we have the Eye of the Empire!"
"According to the latest scan results seven hours ago, the opponent's fleet also disappeared in the universe, and it is obviously in the hyperspace jump state."
"The opponent's destination is undoubtedly the direction of our portal!" Tianyi drew a white track on the hologram pointing directly to the Empire's portal.
"The energy fluctuations generated by the portal are too large, and the number of our fleets has increased dramatically after the energy fluctuations. The opponent must have guessed that we have some kind of transmission technology that can transmit a large number of troops from another river system!"
"Therefore, in addition to destroying our fleet this time, the opponent must also want to obtain our portal technology."
"Plus, our fleet has been withdrawn to the portal, and the opponent will definitely use the portal as their destination for this trip." Tianyi analyzed.
"Very good, then we'll wait here!" Li Mingze nodded, leaned back in his chair and began to rest his eyes.
A few hours later, the sudden alarm woke up the lightly sleeping Li Mingze instantly.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's fleet has appeared in the void two hours away from us at sub-light speed."
"It seems that the enemy still did not dare to enter the star system this time. Are they worried that we will destroy the star again?" Tianyi looked at the federal fleet that kept appearing outside the star system with some amusement.
These federal fleets are too timid. They have driven the imperial fleet to the edge of the cliff, but they dare not jump directly into the star system.
It seems that the empire's crazy destruction of star systems and planets on the federal front has scared them.
"Prepare for battle, all white dwarf-class battleships pay attention to protecting the swarm mothership, and be ready to form a shield to help the mothership block the attack!"
"The swarm mothership is ready to start the swarm!" As soon as Li Mingze finished speaking, the hologram in front of him turned into the structural diagram of the hive mothership.
On the structural diagram of the mothership, countless blue light spots began to flash in its cylindrical hull.
There was also a rotating progress bar on these blue light spots.
41%, 65%, 82%, 99%, 100%!
When these progress bars were finished, dialog boxes popped up from the screen one by one.
"The swarm is preheated!"
"The swarm is 100% activated! All wasps are operating normally!"
"The hive armor plate is ready to open, and the swarm is about to start!"
When the last piece of information disappeared, the entire swarm mothership immediately began to vibrate violently.
The scaly armor that was originally wrapped around the hull of the swarm mothership suddenly opened outward, revealing the launch bay under the armor.
The launch bay was already illuminated by lights, and several mechanical arms on the white wall fixed a black diamond-shaped fighter.
The appearance of this diamond-shaped fighter is very similar to the Empire's piercing drone, but it is much larger.
"Wasp observer activated!" Red electric lines suddenly lit up on the fuselage of these warships, and under these electric lines are sensors used to sense the surrounding space.
"Wasp gravity thruster activated, restraint device closed!"
The mechanical arm that originally restrained the Wasp fighter began to be removed from the Wasp and retracted into the wall.
