The vast and endless universe is dotted with countless stars.

A space shuttle traversed nearly 10 star systems in less than two days, covering a distance of 1.4 light-years.

In less than two days, it covered a distance that light would take 1.4 years to travel, so the speed of this interstellar shuttle is quite fast.

However, this speed is nothing compared to the crawling speed of an ant in the vast universe; it can only be considered the wriggling of microorganisms.

In fact, although this interstellar shuttle traveled 1.4 light-years in less than two days, it did not break the speed of light.

Because photons propagate in a linear fashion in the universe, while this interstellar shuttle travels over extremely long distances by tearing through space, moving from one space to another, its speed does not exceed the speed of light.

Suddenly, the interstellar shuttle stopped traversing space and instead flew at high speed in its normal flight mode to the distant skies above a dark red planet.

"We have arrived at the mission location, Planet Lunboa. Captain Mo Tianyun, please issue the next action order!"

The voice of the pilot robot of the interstellar shuttle warship rang out.

"Scan the location of the Zerg hive and project its image."

Mo Tianyun issued the order.

Behind Mo Tianyun, the other members of the Tianyun Squad stood ready.

After two days of space travel, Mo Tianyun and his group have arrived at their destination.

Just below the interstellar shuttle, this dark red planet is Lunboa.

Originally, the planet Lunboa wasn't dark red. It was only after being invaded by the Zerg that the people on the planet who could escape fled, while those who couldn't were killed by the Zerg and became food for their evolution.

The planet Lunboa is a colony planet with a radius of about 20,000 kilometers. It used to be home to hundreds of millions of people, but all the prosperity of the past was reduced to ruins by the ruthless claws of the Zerg.

All life on this planet, including all plants and animals, has perished. The fertile soil, green forests, clear rivers... all this energy-rich matter has been absorbed and used by the Zerg to evolve.

Since this planet has become a breeding ground for the Zerg, why doesn't the Imperial military launch a devastating attack and destroy the entire Zerg nest?

To be honest, the Oron Empire from hundreds of years ago would definitely have done this, but nowadays, they wouldn't use such energy-wasting methods!

Yes, this kind of attack method, which uses high-energy weapons to directly wipe out the entire Zerg hive, is extremely wasteful of energy.

Generally speaking, these small Zerg nests are thousands of kilometers long, and the Zerg energy crystals collected to breed the Zerg are almost all located tens of kilometers underground. Therefore, the first step is to wipe out the area within thousands of kilometers of the Zerg nest and tens of kilometers underground, otherwise the Zerg will continue to breed until they form a large enough population to invade the next planet.

However, such a powerful high-energy weapon requires an enormous amount of energy. In addition, the Oron Empire has a border spanning millions of light-years. If such an attack method were used against every planet, the energy consumed would be calculated in units of the total energy of a star.

So, how does the Oron Empire utilize the energy of the entire galaxy?

The Oron Empire uses energy conversion technology to convert the energy of stars into energy crystals for storage and use.

A single small, low-grade energy crystal can power an ordinary combat mech for a month.

Energy crystals are classified into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, city-grade, planetary-grade, base-grade, stellar-grade, black hole-grade, and galaxy-grade.

Low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade energy crystals are relatively small in size, but the size of energy crystals above the city level gradually becomes ridiculously large.

The energy contained in a stellar-level energy crystal is the total energy of a standard star, and a single such energy crystal is the size of the entire city of Hanshan.

"Zerg hive location scan complete!"

The AI ​​on the interstellar shuttle projected an image of the Zerg hive into the air.

The Zerg hive is located in the highest mountain range of this planet, Lunlboa.

The Zerg have hollowed out this mountain range, and their hives are built inside this mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.

The scanned images clearly show swarms of Zerg hovering near the Zerg nests.

"Wow, this is truly a high-level 4.6-star mission. There are just too many Zerg!"

Thorne gasped upon seeing this.

With so many Zerg, someone with trypophobia would be terrified!

"The number of Zerg inside the Zerg hive and outside combined may exceed 100,000. With such a large number of Zerg, there must be leader-level Zerg, and possibly more than one!"

Talink analyzed calmly.

"Um."

Mo Tianyun nodded first, then said, "Most of these are ordinary insectoids, which are not a concern for me. However, the sheer number of them, plus the possibility of leader-level insectoids, does pose a danger."

"Thorn, Nick, you two follow me for 20 kilometers. Talink, Coldwind, you two stay to my left and right. As for Cold Rain, you stay behind Thorn and Nick and carry out ranged attacks to kill the Zerg."

Mo Tianyun began to give instructions.

receive!

Thorne, Nick, Talink, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind all responded in unison.

"Okay, let's set off now!"

The interstellar shuttle arrived above the atmosphere of the highest mountain range on the planet Lunlboa.

Mo Tianyun teleported the insect hunter mech out of the space orb, then used his mental power to levitate his body and enter the cockpit.

A powerful mental force instantly took control of the entire mech, and a mech sword more than 40 meters long appeared out of thin air on the right arm of the Hunter Bug mech.

The 50-meter-tall insect hunter mech paired with the 40-meter-long mech sword exudes an awe-inspiring presence!

Thorne, Nick, Talink, Leng Yu, and Leng Feng followed behind Mo Tianyun, taking out their mechs and entering the cockpits.

Boom!

With a roar, Mo Tianyun's insect hunter mech gripped the mech sword and sped off thousands of kilometers below the atmosphere of the planet Lunlboa.

Following closely behind the insect-hunting mech were five combat mechs of varying sizes.

The Montmanbas Mountains are the highest and largest mountain range on the planet Lunlboa, with an average elevation of 7 kilometers and a total length of over 3,000 kilometers.

The once magnificent and solid Montmanbas Mountains have long been hollowed out by the Zerg, and the vast mountain range is now filled with countless winding Zerg tunnels.
