After dealing with the three void worms and satisfying his desire to try his luck, Li Xin drove the cavalry directly back to the mecha mothership.

On the way back to the ship in the shuttle, Li Xin still felt a little emotional.

"If only there were battleships!"

Battleships can be equipped with hangar modules, which can carry carrier-based aircraft and mecha units.

This is unmatched by other ships.

This allows the battleship to have both powerful energy main gun attacks and the ability to release carrier-based aircraft and mechas for combat.

This allows the battleship to fight back when facing enemy mecha units.

Imagine that the enemy's mecha troops have just jumped out of the subspace and have not yet gained a foothold, and the mecha troops on the battleship rushed up to engage in battle with the enemy.

This is a way for battleships to protect themselves.

Of course, these mecha troops can not only protect themselves, but also be used to attack the enemy. Mechas are truly a panacea-like combat unit.

As time passed, the combat effectiveness of this group of void insects was far stronger than Li Xin had expected.

However, it may also be that the combat effectiveness of the members of our own fleet is slightly weaker.

The battle did not end within 24 hours, even though these void worms had been damaged by the attack of the torpedo ship.

During the battle, these frigates basically used psychic jumps to escape.

There was no way, the void shield was about to be overloaded. Although the void shield was overloaded, the battleship's armor could still defend for a long time.

However, Li Xin was not so extravagant as to use the armor of the warships to resist, so all the frigates jumped away.

In the end, only the destroyers continued to fight the remaining void worms on the battlefield.

This battle against the void worms finally ended more than sixty hours after the battle began, when the last void worm was blown to pieces.

In such an unusual battle, from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, the fleet had run at least tens of millions of kilometers.

This is the difference between fighting in space and fighting on planets. Both sides are not fighting on the same plane.

Up, down, left, right, front and back are all directions in which the fleet and the enemy can maneuver, and since they can move very quickly in space, if there are more fleets and void worms participating in the battle on both sides, the scope of this battlefield is estimated to be larger.

The battle is over, and it's time to collect the spoils.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the others in the command center, Li Xin smiled and said, "Maybe everyone is celebrating too early."

"This void worm doesn't have any valuable loot."

Weng Hua also nodded and said, "Indeed, the Void Worm is simply an enemy that will give you a headache if you don't fight it, but it would be a waste if you fight it."

"Fortunately, these are only adult Voidworms. If they were larger, middle-aged, or even elderly, it would be much more troublesome."

Li Xin also nodded slightly.

It would take some time for the fleet to deal with adult void worms, but if they were larger, it would not be something that could be dealt with simply by spending time on them.

In the absence of cruisers and battleships, we can only rely on the number of frigates, or even all the mechas, to deal with the enemy.

But no matter which method is used, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there may be casualties.

Li Xin pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "There's no need to be so pessimistic."

"We are not some ordinary intelligent race that just entered the stars."

"Depending on the speed of the Void Worms, even an elderly Void Worm would take more than ten years, possibly even longer, to reach the Deneb system from their home base."

"We're not sure we can destroy the nests of these voidworms right now, but with a dozen years of development, even if we don't have battleships, we'll have a large number of cruisers."

"When the time comes, it won't be us who will be worried, but these void bugs that want to parasitize us!"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the command center eased a little.

Li Xin then gave the order, "Alright, quickly maneuver back to where the voidworms are and collect some of these corpses."

"Although the loot isn't particularly valuable, as the first space creature we killed, it's still quite memorable."

"Take a part as a souvenir and put it in the memorial hall on the Union Road."

"Take some more away and isolate them carefully to prevent them from being infected by the spores. Send them to the research institute for study!"

"Yes! Sir!"

The fleet came to the void worms that were torn to pieces by the passive energy shells and began to deal with these huge guys.

Looking at these void bugs, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh that in space, just having a body size is helpful for combat effectiveness, but the help is not particularly great.

We still need to have technological advantages.

Judging from the information provided by the Seventh Wave, the ships that Li Xin and his men currently have are all fourth-generation ships of the human race.

Although it is not the most advanced fifth-generation ship, the combat capability of the fourth-generation ship is within the scope of main battleships within the known range of more than two hundred years and compared with all interstellar civilizations.

You have to know that that was two hundred years later. If we talk about it in the current time period, the fourth-generation ships would be considered advanced ships.

Li Xin estimated that the current Yelong Empire might still use third-generation ships as its main battleships, while fourth-generation ships were still under research, or only a small number of them were equipped.

In the universe, the update and iteration of everything, except life, seems to be on a stretched timeline.

If a civilization wants to iterate its ships, it is normal for it to take hundreds of years according to the universal time established by human society.

Even this is considered fast. After all, updating the next generation of ships requires the iteration of armor materials.

The forging method of armor needs to be updated so that the same materials can be combined to obtain higher defense.

Other ship equipment, such as various sensors, power engines, ship combat support computers, and weapon systems, all need to be greatly improved compared to previous generations.

Now that Li Xin and his companions have come to the present time more than two hundred years ago, it can be considered a blessing in disguise as they have obtained more advanced technological achievements in advance.

This allows them to get a head start, and in the short term, they don't have to worry too much about technology and can apply more resources to other projects.

For example, build more ships faster!
