【Description: A Zerg Hive with established strength. After transforming into a Hive Carrier, it can perform preliminary interstellar space navigation. Due to efficiency and structural strength limits, the Hive Carrier can accelerate up to 250 kilometers per second. This organism is the breeding center of the Swarm that replaces the queen.】
...
“All units have increased by one tier? And the cost only went up by a few dozen percent.”
The navigation speed had grown significantly. Relying solely on curvature flight, it reached a staggering 140,000 kilometers per second. When stacked with the 100x hyperspace drive, the speed hit 14 million kilometers per second.
This was equivalent to 46.6 times the speed of light.
This meant it would only take a month to travel from one stellar system to another.
As for weaponry, the Photon Cannon had received a massive boost, making it truly suitable for space warfare.
At the very least, with its ultra-high power, it now had the potential to break through traditional shields. Because the power was so extreme, unless a force field shield reached a certain strength, it would be extremely difficult to deflect the light beam.
“It seems only energy shields can block this kind of laser cannon now.”
Additionally, the Zerg had gained a new weapon called the Traction Neutron Cannon.
Unlike normal neutron cannons that fired standard neutrons, the neutrons in this weapon were accelerated by curvature.
The neutron beam emerging from the muzzle was encased in a curvature drive device. From an observer's perspective, it could rush toward the target at 80% of the speed of light.
Upon hitting the target, it could create a localized explosion exceeding the power of nuclear weapons.
“Begin modifying the current Small Leviathans.”
All warships immediately began their return journey to the Hive for upgrades.
In reality, with the current Swarm network, they could automatically absorb energy and upgrade without returning, but the process was too slow.
Given the current situation, spending a few months would allow the Zerg fleet's strength to surpass its past self.
Currently, the unknown civilization had approached the Dulu people's Planet 2.
Xia Jin hurried to complete the upgrades on her end, then mobilized a large number of Small Leviathans to stealthily approach the target.
Just as the enemy fleet was preparing to launch an attack on Planet 2, the presence of the Zerg fleet was detected.
The target civilization scrambled to turn around, only to be met by a long volley of laser cannons followed by terrifying neutron cannons.
More than half of the warships hadn't even activated their shields and were instantly destroyed by the horrific power.
Blinding firelight flashed in space, looking like fireworks being set off.
On the remaining ships, the crew members were all in a state of disbelief.
A massive panic immediately enveloped this fleet that was unknown to the Zerg.
Following the second wave of attacks, even with their shields activated, the remaining ten ships perished in the starry sky.
“Target destruction complete,” Brain Bug No. 1 sent the joyful news.
