According to Chen Feng's past experience, there is most likely only one spherical battleship in the Orion Arm, but there are 999,999 prism ships.

So the theoretical probability of him running into the spherical battleship is one in a million.

But maybe it was luck, or because he was outside the territory of the Morning Wind Empire, the blade mantis that had targeted him before came from this spherical battleship. If

a spherical ship often walks by the river, it will get its shoes wet sooner or later, not to mention that it has been patrolling outside for a hundred years. The

spherical battleship seemed to have locked onto Chen Feng, so it did not enter the fold or warp state, but gradually approached Chen Feng's position of two million kilometers at a speed slightly lower than the speed of light, and then suddenly stopped.

Chen Feng was once disgusted by the spherical battleship's instantaneous switch from high-speed propulsion to absolute stillness.

He felt uncomfortable at the time because he did not understand that the current situation he saw with his naked eyes was in sharp conflict with the stable worldview he had formed over a long period of time.

Not anymore, because Chen Feng has understood its principle.

It seems incredible, but in fact it is nothing more than the use of space realized by curvature technology, nothing more.

At this time, 9 billion kilometers away from here, there is a human spark ship that was broken into two pieces and quietly floating in the universe.

This is a super-large escape ship from the edge galaxy of the Tianfeng star zone in the development star zone, named Tianfeng 3121-917.

Tianfeng, representing the level, means that this is the largest escape ship designed and manufactured by the Tianfeng Star Region.

3121 represents the era.

917 represents that this spaceship is the 917th super-large escape ship manufactured and launched by the Tianfeng Star Region in 3121 AD.

The total number of crew members of Tianfeng 917 is as high as one million, of which 30% are elderly people over 180 years old, 65% are children under 12 years old, and 5% are professional and technical personnel in various fields.

At this point in the war, the proportion of casualties among the leadership of the Morning Wind Empire has already exceeded 70%.

As early as 20 or 30 years ago, the main strategic policy of mankind gradually changed from fighting to escaping.

But the direction of everything did not exceed Chen Feng's initial expectations. In front of the compound eye warship with the ability to fly 500 times the speed of light, the difficulty of escaping is no different from defeating the opponent.

What is even more depressing is that in the past hundred years, the escape ships and research ships that evacuated first have already been killed.

Humans have tried to abandon hypercurvature movement and switch to conventional flight, but they will still be found.

Later, the allocation mechanism was changed, with some ships performing hypercurvature flight and some ships performing conventional flight.

Humans have indeed tried every possible way, but it is useless.

On June 30, 3089, the farthest high-speed research vessel had reached more than 3,000 light years away, almost leaving the Perseus Arm and heading out of the Milky Way, but was still caught up by a mantis from behind the subspace channel.

Afterwards, the black box sent a signal back through the quantum network, announcing that all the crew members on the research vessel had been killed.

Since then, all the research vessels and escape ships sent out by humans before the outbreak of the war have not been spared.

Although the escape ships will actively cut off contact, no one knows what route each ship has chosen and where they are now, but the command center still has a number of statistics and an approximate distance estimate.

Since then, statistics from the escape plan headquarters show that no human ship has ever left the border of the Morrowind Empire more than 1,500 light years away.

The farthest-flying ships are the 372 ships that left in early November 3020, 1,380 light years from the border of the Empire.

But half a month ago, this number was more than 3,000. In

3094, the number of escape ships that were expected to fly more than a thousand light years was zero.

The huge escape plan that humans started hundreds of years ago and involved millions of people has now been declared a complete failure.

The universe is so vast that it seems endless, and you can go anywhere in all directions.

But if there is an enemy chasing you at a speed dozens of times faster than you, no matter where you hide, it will find your trace one day. Once it finds you, it will chase you relentlessly until you are completely wiped out under the starry sky. And this enemy will never stop until you are completely wiped out. Then this vast universe is another kind of hopeless cage that is invisible to the naked eye but objectively exists.

This is how the human survivors feel at this time.

Knowing that escape is a luxury, they have to pack their bags, board the battleship, take their lives and memories, their knowledge, and the children and frozen embryos guarding the ship, leave their homes, and go to a road of no return with no end and no hope.

At this time, the people on the large escape ship that had just been broken into two pieces thought they were dead.

Flying in the curvature subspace, Tianfeng 917 was suddenly attacked by a blade mantis and was blown apart. When it fell out of the subspace and entered the three-dimensional universe, more than 100,000 people were accidentally sucked into the vacuum of the universe and died quickly.

The rest of the casualties were countless.

But no one panicked, this was expected by everyone.

Since they were discovered, they would die anyway, so they might as well die beautifully. They

should also delay their death.

Some people opened the quantum network and restored communication with the Morning Wind Empire, reporting the encounter of Tianfeng 917 and the appearance of the most hateful and cunning hunter, the spherical battleship, in this star region. The Morning Wind Empire then announced the information and reminded other ships to adjust their routes and stay away from the danger zone.

Another group of people, young or old, climbed onto the battleship control consoles and a small number of micro-fighter operating cabins, ready to rush out and risk their lives.

Another group of people quickly entered small and medium-sized escape ships, ready to quickly break up and evacuate in different directions.

The group of people who broke up still did not expect to escape, but after being dispersed, they could delay the enemy's pursuit a little longer.

This is the precious experience gained from countless destroyed lifeboats and countless lives, with only one purpose, to delay time.

But something strange happened.

The blade mantises only needed to launch a few more attacks in a few tens of seconds to completely destroy Tianfeng 917, but these war machines suddenly stopped and flew to the spherical battleship that was thousands of kilometers away and watching the battlefield from afar.

Near the spherical battleship, the other dragonfly fighters, beetles, and many large and small combat units also quickly retreated.

In less than 20 seconds, the trace of the spherical battleship disappeared out of thin air.

It's gone!

This is a very abnormal phenomenon. It

is very rare for the pursuers of the compound eyes to evacuate before completing their mission after discovering the human escape ship.

Sometimes, but there is only one reason, that is, the other side has discovered another larger human ship with more personnel not far away.

But this is impossible.

Tianfeng 917 must be the largest escape unit in this nearby star region.

Then why is this?

Everyone looked at each other.

The commander of 917, a 190-year-old captain with gray hair, pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, we have restored contact with the Empire and are completely exposed to the quantum network. We have all been located. Why not try to turn on the scanning system and see what the spherical ship has gone to do."

Others agreed.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the old captain nodded, "Okay, let's do it this way. Oh, by the way, the ship is completely damaged, so let all small and medium-sized escape ships continue to evacuate. As for me... there is no point in leaving, so I might as well stay and use my captain's authority to self-destruct and see if I can blow something up."

About a minute later, the large composite scanner was successfully activated, and a relatively rough information model was first established using the quantum entanglement effect.

The people in the No. 917 command room saw a picture 9 billion kilometers away.

A spherical battleship.

And... a figure.

The two sides maintained a distance of 2 million kilometers and stood facing each other in the air.

"Huh? People? What's going on? Who is this person? Besides us, is there another escape fighter here alone?"

The experienced old captain was also dumbfounded.

He has been in the army for 170 years, from a grassroots soldier to the captain of the flagship, and then retired gloriously and became the person in charge of this escape ship.

Whether it is traditional standard equipment or experimental cutting-edge equipment, he has seen it all, and even the Galaxy Armor from hundreds of years ago and more traditional old equipment, he has even experienced it personally.

He was also a fan of individual armor, but unfortunately, the facts have proved that the cost-effectiveness of individual armor is very low, not as good as cluster fighters.

In a large-scale space battlefield, the coordinated operations of a cluster of standard fighters are more tacit and systematic, and the mass production of standard fighters is easier, and the consumption of cutting-edge materials is also less.

A simple conversion can be made. To manufacture a single-soldier armor that meets the requirements, the scarce resources required are enough to manufacture ten fighters.

With the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, humans have a deeper grasp of ultra-high mobility technology. If we really want to match the level of science and technology to manufacture single-soldier armor, the amount of information that the single-soldier armor operator needs to process when participating in the war is too large, the operation difficulty is too high, and the comprehensive quality requirements of the soldiers are too high.

The resources required to cultivate an elite single-soldier fighter are thousands of times that of an ordinary fighter.

People who have the talent to become single-soldier fighters must be selected from thousands of miles away.

Therefore, it is difficult for a single star region to cultivate a large-scale and organized single-soldier corps.

The humans in this timeline are indeed stronger than before, and the genetic awakening is higher. If the warriors in the ninth timeline are placed in the eighth timeline, there will be galaxy warriors everywhere.

However, different technological backgrounds will also breed different levels of military technology.

The Galaxy War Maru of that year was indeed the core equipment of mankind, but its combat power may not even be as good as an ordinary fighter in this timeline. It can't be penetrated, and it's meaningless to be fancy.

It's impossible to let stronger warriors lower their level to match outdated equipment.

In addition, for those top warriors, instead of letting him become a single-armored warrior, it is better to let him control a special fighter and become an arrow figure who can coordinate and match with him.

Due to many reasons, the human civilization in this timeline has completed its own evolution and taken another path. Individual combat armor ultimately failed to become the main combat concept. Currently, there are only a few experimental models in major galaxies, but they are not very popular.

The old captain has seen a lot of combat armor, but he has never seen a mere three-meter-high individual armor that can confront a spherical battleship.

He has never thought about it.

The old captain decided to call up the intelligent computer database simultaneously to query the information, and at the same time reported the images he saw to the Supreme Command of the Empire.

Now it is not just him who is confused, but tens of thousands of people in the Supreme Command of the Morning Wind Empire.

Everyone is very confused.

At this time, Chen Feng did not know that his image had been projected into the intelligent computer hub of the entire Morning Wind Empire, and he was quickly completing the pre-war analysis.

Chen Feng discovered that the combat strategy of the spherical battleship has changed. It is no longer like before, where they would rush to the high ground in one go. It seems much more cautious.

After the enemy ship arrived, it was just suspended in the air at a great distance, and the curvature reaction of the surface of the spherical ship never stopped, indicating that the spherical ship can actually enter the folding state at any time to escape quickly.

This is not surprising.

After all, the spherical ship does not have the terrifying invincible defense capability of the prism ship.

The spherical ship is different from the prism ship. After all, it is a "yacht" and its main function is not to fight.

It is like the yachts of human beings in the 21st century encountering the armed landing craft in World War II. They will be at a loss.

But if you want to say who has higher technology content, it must be the 21st century yacht.

But when the gap between the two sides is not that big, technology content is not equal to absolute combat power.

This time, human technology has made great progress again.

If the ball ship really foolishly approaches, let alone myself, the machine guns of an ordinary fighter plane will have a chance to penetrate the surface protection of the ball ship.

Some large escape ships with strong military strength have the ability to hit the ball ship head-on.

A hundred years have passed, and the ball ship is still safe and sound. It must be because the fly eyes in the ball ship have changed their combat thinking.

Chen Feng just destroyed a blade mantis alone. If the commander in the ball ship has a brain, he will not really treat him as a cabbage for free.

However, since the enemy has come, he will definitely not return empty-handed.

After waiting for less than a minute, the ball ship finally took action.

Under the thick mist shield, combat units that Chen Feng was very familiar with floated out one after another.

Chen Feng took a quick look and had the illusion that he was the villain.

The medium and large combat units included forty-nine blade mantises, a million eight-legged beetles, and twenty million dragonfly fighters.

Compared with the spherical battleships that Chen Feng was familiar with, the opponent prepared a large number of troops from the beginning this time, probably because they needed to maintain the intensity of hunting operations against human escape ships.

In addition to these three familiar things to Chen Feng, the battlefield information system also retrieved some mosquito-like combat units that were only the size of a fingernail, as well as micro combat units that looked like turtles, and the number was even larger.

Forty-nine blade mantises were the first to approach Chen Feng, using only two short jumps.

The forty-nine blade mantises were positioned above, below, left and right around Chen Feng, forming a sphere.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng was surrounded. Behind

the encirclement of the blade mantises was a gradually elongated formation of other combat units approaching rapidly in a curvature-like motion.

Two million kilometers may seem far, but for dragonfly fighters and eight-legged beetles that can continuously accelerate to speeds approaching the speed of light, it is only a span of less than a minute.

"This guy is in danger. Is he stupid? Why is he staying there and waiting to be surrounded?"

The battlefield commentator, the old captain of Tianfeng No. 917, gave his own professional explanation.

The adjutant suggested, "Should we send out fighter planes to try to pick him up?"

The old captain rolled his eyes, "Nine billion kilometers! By the time our fighter planes start to enter hypercurve flight, it will be too late to reach him."

The adjutant was stunned, "That's true. Besides, it would be useless for us to go there. I don't think we can help much."

The old captain shook his head, "Not really. He can make the spherical battleship look like it is facing a powerful enemy, and even The fact that he only dared to let cannon fodder units get close to him shows that he must have something unique. It's a pity that Fly Eyes has cannon fodder, but he only has one person, and there is no cannon fodder to help him share the pressure. If there is a chance, I would also be happy to be his cannon fodder and cover his retreat. It's just that I really can't find out which unit's special operations soldier he is from, why don't you share it with everyone. "

The adjutant said again: "Maybe he is just an experimental subject? The technology is not mature yet?"

"Maybe."

These people didn't think of it.

In fact, Chen Feng, who was on the battlefield, was laughing.

His smile was very sinister.

He completely ignored the forty-nine blade mantises that were eyeing him covetously, and just calmly raised his right hand, and then clenched his fist.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

In the void of the universe, eight explosions broke out in succession within a radius of one million kilometers near the spherical battleship.

The coverage range of each explosion reached 50,000 kilometers!

It was the eight black hole explosion medium-range bullets loaded on the folding armor!

In fact, long before he killed the blade mantis in front of him, he had quietly completed the launch of these eight bullets and dropped them in advance to the direction two million kilometers away from him.

The first blade mantis was collecting his information and leaking the "news" when it was transmitting it to the mothership.

Chen Feng, on his side, captured the quantum information flow based on the intelligence collection system specially improved by Fredes and absorbed the infiltration ability of the Glas people, and located the general direction of the enemy's mothership.

At the same time, Chen Feng also speculated that based on the current behavior logic of the compound eyes, after arriving, it will definitely choose a relatively safe distance to wait and see what happens, and to be able to escape at any time.

The answer Chen Feng deduced was the cosmic vacuum far away from the asteroid fragmentation zone.

Except for the uncertainty of whether it was a prism or a spherical ship, every step of the compound eyes was within his calculations.

Everything is really under control.

As for why he wanted to detonate the black hole?

Of course, it was to block the opponent's folding ability and prevent it from escaping.

Buzz!

When the explosion just happened and the space around the spherical battleship was torn apart, the figure of Chen Feng in the folding armor instantly disappeared from the encirclement formation of the blade mantises.

The next moment, he had crossed two million kilometers and landed directly above the spherical battleship.

At this moment, Chen Feng truly demonstrated his short-range folding ability, which truly covered a distance far exceeding two million kilometers!

The command room of Tianfeng No. 917 was in an uproar.

"What kind of flying ability is this!"

"Fold! Fold like the enemy's blade mantis!"

"No, no, no, stronger! Faster!"

"He was only frozen for five thousandths of a second before he moved again! So fast! Faster than the blade mantis!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Chen Feng's folding armor held the shield, and his hands held two cutting knives and shot straight down.

The corona hand cannon charging balls on his shoulders also burst into a dazzling light.

The spherical battleship wanted to escape, but at this time, the space storm caused by the black hole bombs around it was raging. If it dared to try to fold, it would inevitably be disturbed by the storm's chaotic flow and could not form a complete folding subspace membrane. It would most likely be torn apart when entering the folding space.

The spherical battleship could only fight back in a panic.

The filamentary beam arrived first and was easily blocked by the shield of the folding armor.

White streamer cannon? There is no time to charge.

Repulsion field? The gravity line deployed at the rear point can't pull it at all!

Thick fog shield?

The antimatter bomb fired in advance will directly break it!

Electromagnetic interference?

Sorry, it can't break the metal foil layer on the surface of the folding armor.

Chen Feng just used a tactic of locking the battlefield and changing positions to bypass the overwhelming force of the opponent and capture the leader

first. The key to winning or losing lies only in his crazy brain, which quickly captured countless information and quickly completed the advance layout decision.

He used his unparalleled perfect prediction to bet on the range of the spherical battleship's position, and won the whole game!

In just a moment, Chen Feng proved one thing to everyone in the ninth timeline. His top combat power across nine timelines, and he was repeatedly hailed as the world's greatest war god, was not in vain.   His battlefield achievements were not just luck.   A sword will not be unsheathed until blood is drawn.

The top combat power of civilization, the   strongest poisonous ant of mankind, which has been expected for hundreds of years by countless people in the ninth timeline, finally showed its most ferocious fangs at this moment.   Bang!   Under the extreme energy output of the folding armor, the corona hand cannon hit first, and the energy plasma burst out, and the cutting battle blade that continued to tear the space came later.   With a swish sound.   In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng blasted a large hole with a diameter of tens of meters on the outer shell of the spherical battleship!   As for himself, he had already been killed.
