I am a great scientist

Chapter 561 Star Wars ([-])
With the addition of the Federation Fleet, the retreat of the Blue Flame Swarm was greatly delayed.

The federal fleet launched a trans-horizon attack from a long distance away. Once the insect swarm counterattacked, the federal fleet immediately retreated far away, bullying the insect swarm by taking advantage of its speed.

"Unfortunately, the hit rate of the beyond visual range attack is too low, otherwise, if this continues, the bug swarm may not be wiped out!" Zhang Rui looked at the hit rate of the energy cannon on the command screen, and said with some regret.

Beyond-the-horizon attack is an attack that is far beyond vision. In the age of the earth, human beings have mastered this attack method. When projecting weapons to targets thousands of kilometers away, using telescopic devices to It can be launched from a distance where the target cannot be seen, or can only be launched with the assistance of other monitoring equipment. Usually, it can only attack a fixed target, or a target whose flight path is locked and cannot escape the attack range.

Switching to the interstellar battlefield, beyond-the-horizon attacks have become a routine method. The distance between the warring parties is often tens of millions of kilometers, hundreds of millions of kilometers, or even light-years. At the same time, they all have extremely agile speeds. The hit rate of over-the-horizon attacks has dropped significantly.

Now the federal fleet is launching a BVR attack more than 1 million kilometers away from the swarm. Even at the speed of light, it takes hundreds of seconds to reach the location of the swarm. With the speed of the blue flame insect, it is enough to escape the BVR attack Huge range of coverage.

"General, is the fleet getting closer? The swarm of insects is too big, and it is more difficult to keep them than expected." Professor Bolmai frowned and said to General Chen Xiaolin.

"It's okay, let's do this for now! There are still a few purple flame ice worms in the swarm, so don't get close." General Chen Xiaolin frowned and shook his head.

At this moment, Zhang Rui stared wide-eyed, looked at the holographic screen and shouted anxiously: "General, the bug swarm has divided up. One group rushed towards us, while the other retreated quickly."

"I see, turn around and avoid them." General Chen Xiaolin ordered.

"Ah! Don't eat them, continue to chase?" Zhang Rui looked at General Chen Xiaolin, doubting his ears, and asked.

"As I said, turn around and avoid them!" General Chen Xiaolin's face was serious, she raised her volume, and ordered.

"Obey, General!" Zhang Rui's face turned serious, and he immediately responded.

Immediately, the federal fleet changed direction, flew at full speed, and fled decisively to avoid a direct confrontation with the bug swarm.

After the small bug swarm couldn't catch up with the federal fleet, it retreated and joined the bug swarm ahead.

Soon, the Federation Fleet went back and forth, obscenely and relentlessly entangled with this swarm of bugs like a cowhide plaster, never engaging in a direct confrontation with it.

Time passed day after day.

The Federation Fleet and the Sorato Civilization Fleet launched a candy-like harassing war against the bug swarm, and they used everything with extreme vigor, but they never engaged in a direct confrontation with it.

The worm swarm seemed to have seen through their intentions, and stopped entangled with them too much, and accelerated their evacuation to Planet Burlo.

As time goes by, the swarm is getting closer and closer to Planet Burlo.

Federation Fleet, the flagship command room, the scene was dignified. After more than fifty days of entanglement day and night, the bug swarm finally returned to Planet Burlo.

"General, we have monitored the movement of the purple flame ice worms coming here on the planet Burlo. We still have two days left. If we don't stop them, once we let them converge, we will have no chance to stop them again. " Zhang Rui looked at General Chen Xiaolin and reminded him.

"Understood, then let them go back! We are going to retreat." General Chen Xiaolin nodded and ordered.

what?
Just let them go?

"General, once this swarm of insects returns, they will soon evolve into purple flame soldiers!" Zhang Rui's complexion changed, looking at General Chen Xiaolin, he reminded solemnly.

General Chen Xiaolin smiled slightly: "Didn't we achieve the purpose of this battle? Now we can go back. Everyone has been exhausted recently. Now you are allowed to start resting."

"Mission accomplished!"

All the officers looked at each other, a little surprised.

Throughout the course of the battle, they almost never had a direct confrontation with this swarm of insects. They all used trans-horizon attacks, which only delayed the return time of the swarm of insects a little, and caused a small number of casualties to the swarm of insects. There is a world of difference in the battle.

"General, is it because of the five thousand third-generation intercontinental ships?" Zhang Rui looked at General Chen Xiaolin and asked in surprise.

"Yes, we have greatly slowed down the evolution of the bug swarm. Let them be responsible for the next battle, so we don't have to fight the bug swarm." General Chen Xiaolin smiled and nodded.

"Ah! Is that so?"

"Is the third-generation intercontinental ship really so powerful? Can it handle this bug swarm?"

"..."

The officers were astonished and asked questions one after another.

"General, it's General Miller's communication!" At this time, Zhang Rui reported to General Chen Xiaolin.

"Take it!" General Chen Xiaolin said immediately.

Zhang Rui followed the order, and in the next second, the image of General Miller appeared on the command screen.

"General Chen, did you give the order to retreat?" General Miller asked with Zhang Kai as soon as he appeared.

"Yes, General Miller, the purple flame ice worm swarm has already been dispatched. It is too risky to continue to follow up. We can almost retreat." General Chen Xiaolin confirmed.

"If we let this bug swarm return to Planet Burlo, will our previous sacrifice still be worthwhile?" General Miller's complexion changed when he heard this, and he asked immediately.

In the previous battle, the Federation Fleet paid a huge sacrifice to eliminate the blue flame worm swarm. Now another blue flame worm swarm is about to return to Buluo Star. Fortunately, they have worked so hard to stop it for so long, because they are afraid of the entire worm swarm After completing the evolution, let alone the beginning of the battle, the war between Sorato civilization and this swarm was precisely because of the sudden evolution of the swarm, which reduced them to the point where they needed to ask the Galactic Federation for help. The heavy price they paid can be imagined And know.

Now, once the blue flame worm swarm returns to Planet Burlo, all their previous efforts will be in vain, which is why General Miller has become so eager.

"How could it be meaningless! We have tried our best to delay the evolution of the blue flame worms. We just need reinforcements to take charge of the next battle." General Chen Xiaolin smiled understandingly and replied.

"This..., isn't there only [-] warships in the reinforcements this time? They can take down the entire bug swarm without us fighting?" General Miller frowned and asked with some concern.

"Quality can wipe out the advantage in quantity, don't worry! We will win this war!" General Chen Xiaolin said with a smile and confidence.

After Chen Xiaolin said that, General Miller could only nod his head: "Okay! I'll wait and see!"

Soon, the fleets of the Human Federation and the Sorato Civilization withdrew from Planet Burlo, while resting and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

The soldiers of the Federation Fleet ushered in a rare holiday. Except for the soldiers on duty who needed to supervise the maintenance of robots, almost all soldiers began to relax their tense nerves.

Inside the huge intercontinental ship, there are basketball courts, football fields, swimming pools, virtual game rooms, ..., all kinds of entertainment facilities, everything that one expects to find, soldiers on vacation, some are sweating profusely on the court, and some are lying softly. Resting on the recliner,..., everyone has lazy and happy smiles on their faces.

After going through a life-and-death battle, the soldiers rarely enjoyed such a happy time and cherished it very much.

On the bar counter, soldiers and officers gathered together in twos and threes, discussing something while drinking.

"Captain, the reinforcements will arrive in 5 days. Do you really not need us to go to the battlefield?" Zhang Kai sipped the cocktail in his glass and asked their captain, Li Qiang, with some concern.

"Yes! The battle is about to start. If the vacation is not canceled immediately, the soldiers will not be able to recover their combat effectiveness in such a short period of time." Colonel Porter looked at Li Qiang and agreed.

Li Qiang smiled slightly, looked at his subordinates and said comfortingly: "Everyone put your heart in your stomach! Since the general told you to rest, you should rest well, and you don't have to worry about the next battle. Everyone has worked hard during this time. "

During this period of time, he didn't know how many times he answered the questions of his subordinates. In fact, even he himself was very surprised by this holiday, and it was impossible to imagine that General Chen would issue such an order at this time.

The only reason is that General Chen has absolute confidence in the five thousand third-generation intercontinental ships, and there is no need for them to intervene in the battlefield. Otherwise, how could he issue such an almost absurd order to let the soldiers take vacations in wartime.

Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best not to fight. The interstellar war is extremely cruel. Once the battleship is severely damaged by enemy fire, their chances of survival are almost zero.

"Captain, captain, reinforcements, the reinforcements have arrived ahead of schedule!" At this moment, a soldier on duty rushed to Li Qiang and reported excitedly.

With a "crash", Li Qiang suddenly stood up, looked at the soldiers who came to report, and ordered excitedly: "Hurry up, call everyone to the large conference room to watch the battle live."

"Understood!" The soldier on duty nodded happily and ran out excitedly.

Li Qiang and his party followed and rushed straight to the large conference room.

Soon, the light watch on the soldier's wrist responded to the summoning signal.

The complexions of the soldiers who were resting all changed, they stopped entertainment and went straight to the large conference room.

"What's going on! Are you going to fight?"

"It's a summoning signal, not a combat signal, so it shouldn't be a combat mission!"

"After the convening, after announcing the cancellation of the vacation, isn't it the same to prepare for battle?"

"..."

The soldiers rushed to the large conference room in groups, discussing in low voices on the way.

This vacation should have been very long, and they repeatedly confirmed to their superiors that there would be no change to this vacation, but they didn't know that it wasn't long!Suddenly the summoning signal came, if you can't do it, don't say it!The soldiers couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied with the above.

However, obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers. After the soldiers arrived in the large conference room, they stopped complaining and sat down at the conference table, staring straight at their captain, Li Qiang.

Sensing the target of the soldiers' dissatisfaction, Li Qiang smiled slightly and quickly comforted him: "Everyone, please rest assured that this call is not to announce the cancellation of vacation, but to let you watch a battle."

As soon as the words fell, Li Qiang stepped aside, and the holographic screen behind him projected a starry sky.

I saw that a silver light was moving rapidly in the space, the speed almost reached the speed of light, exuding dazzling light, making people unable to see its true colors.

The soldiers stared wide-eyed, bewildered.

"The background is the Boomter galaxy, right? They should be near the No.17 planet-Gorlo star."

"Haha, I know who they are, our reinforcements have arrived ahead of schedule!"

"That's right, the planet they threw off is a giant gaseous star, and it is the No.18 planet in the Boomter galaxy!"

"Wow, they are so fast, the tunnel monitors can't even match their speed."

"..."

The meeting room was in chaos, and the soldiers looked at the holographic screen and guessed excitedly.

The silver streamer was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had already passed the No.18 planet and was approaching them rapidly.

The picture on the holographic screen suddenly changed, and the galloping fleet suddenly slowed down, and finally maintained a relatively static speed in space. Then, they lined up one by one to form a circular array.

"Hey, why did they stop moving?"

"Yeah! What do you mean by setting up this formation? Are they ready to attack?"

"Ah! No way! How can you shoot accurately at such a long distance?"

"Impossible! They should be adjusting!"

"..."

The soldiers stared wide-eyed, staring intently at the big holographic screen, wondering and wondering why the fleet stopped advancing halfway.

Just when the soldiers were puzzled by this, the fleet changed again. Each battleship had a muzzle split in two at the bow, and it could be seen that the red energy was continuously gathering, emitting a dazzling light cluster.

"Ah! It's really about to launch an attack!"

"They are located at least 30 billion kilometers away from the planet Burlo! Who are they trying to hit!"

"Did you make a mistake! Launch an attack at this position?"

"..."

Seeing the fleet in attack formation and the main guns starting to gather energy, the soldiers opened their eyes wide and shouted in surprise, all surprised by the fleet's strange behavior.

The soldiers held their breaths, and missed the magnificent picture of the fleet attacking.

However, something unexpected happened to the soldiers. The energy of the main naval guns of the fleet gathered to its peak, and the red energy group disappeared in a flash, and the fleet resumed its appearance of gathering energy.

"Hey, there's nothing there!"

"It hasn't even started yet, so it's getting soft?"

"What's the use of just showing off your momentum? It's anticlimactic!"

"What's going on? Is the energy gathering of the main gun failed?"

……

Seeing the inexplicable situation of the fleet, the audience booed and the soldiers booed one after another. They were very disappointed with the performance of the fleet.
