Chapter 679: Despair after Survival

A dozen hours later.
Di Rong also received reports of losses from the other two echelons.
At this moment, all it felt was fatigue and numbness.
In the next three months.
The three escape echelons of the Six-Clawed Expeditionary Fleet were attacked by double neutron shells several times.
The most unfortunate of them all was the central echelon, which was instantly wiped out when it encountered a large number of double-neutron shells fired at the Six-Clawed Fleet's escape.
The vanguard team where Di Rong was located only had 7 space battleships left.
There were only 15 space battleships left in the rear echelon.
At this moment, among the only 7 remaining space battleships in the vanguard echelon, the lucky Di Rong was checking various intelligence.
"We haven't encountered any enemy attacks for more than a month! This means we may have escaped the enemy's attack range."
Deputy Captain Ba Zhang asked in confusion: "Commander! What should we do now?"
Di Rong lamented: "It is impossible to return to the mother planet. Judging from the enemy's attack range, the enemy has already locked onto the mother planet and other fleeing fleets. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
As for notifying the mother planet and other fleeing fleets, it is actually of no use.
Because they now have a preliminary understanding of the enemy's weapon, which is a particle weapon that can fly at nearly the speed of light.
Even if they have sent an early warning to the mother planet and other fleeing fleets as soon as possible, it is estimated that by the time the mother planet and other fleeing fleets receive the early warning signal, the enemy's attack will follow.
Without superluminal communication and superluminal navigation technology, it would be basically difficult to react to attacks from near-light-speed weapons.
Now Di Rong can only pray to the gods, he is powerless to do anything else.
What's more, the forward team is also in a difficult situation at this time.
Because they found that a lot of the fuel and supplies they carried had been consumed after continuous emergency acceleration.
If they can maintain inertial navigation, they can last for tens of thousands of Earth years.
But maintaining inertial navigation would be tantamount to seeking death.
After all, the enemy's attacks were too targeted, and a space battleship sailing by inertia was a sitting duck and too easy to be attacked.
In order to improve safety, they have to change their trajectory drastically every once in a while, hoping to avoid the enemy's lock in this way.
However, constant changes of trajectory would certainly consume additional fuel and working fluids, which would be a fatal problem for the remnants of the vanguard echelon, which already had limited resources.
Even if Di Rong put 90% of the soldiers into hibernation and reduced other unnecessary consumption, there was still no way to make up for the resource deficit.
Di Rong was in a very heavy mood: "If this continues, we will perish sooner or later due to resource depletion."
"Commander, how about we search along the way to see if we can find a large dark star?" Deputy Captain Ba Zhang suggested.
"Dark Star?" Di Rong was in a dilemma.
Of course it knows that there are some wandering dark stars in interstellar space.
If they can find a dark star with a radius of more than 10 kilometers, they can be resurrected with full health.
But what makes Di Rong feel embarrassed is the risk of doing so.
Now their vanguard is being watched by an alien civilization. If they stop to mine minerals and replenish supplies, they will have to stay for a while.
Di Rong was worried that while they stayed there, they would be targeted and annihilated by the enemy.
But if they are not replenished, they will definitely not be able to persist and will sooner or later die due to resource depletion.
Some people might say that we can't just flee at full speed now, and wait until we have run far enough before stopping to mine dark stars and replenish the warships with supplies.
This is obviously the ideal solution.
In reality, interstellar space is not static.
The concentration of stardust and the density of dark stars in interstellar space are as difficult to determine as Brownian motion.
It is affected by surrounding planetary systems, supernovae, and celestial bodies such as black holes.
In some areas of interstellar space, the concentration of stardust and dark stars may be relatively high, while in some places it may be very sparse.
Therefore, when traveling in interstellar space, it is best for a spacecraft to always stockpile supplies and maintain more than 70% of the total inventory.
Especially for a spacecraft in escape state, if it does not have sufficient supplies, it may self-destruct even without being attacked by the enemy.
Di Rong thought about it for several hours, and finally decided to quickly find Dark Star supplies and then escape at full speed.
After deciding on the plan, the vanguard team also began searching for dark stars in the surrounding areas.
In less than half a month, they found a dark star with a radius of about 19 kilometers, and then the vanguard began to slow down.
at the same time.
After about four months of sprint.
The first batch of double-neutron shells that had previously attacked the six-clawed expeditionary fleet also began to arrive at the six-clawed giant star.
The Heart of Freedom and the Supreme Court, which had already started a true flame, had not yet realized the danger was coming.
Just as Prince Ang was commanding the fleet and preparing to raid the main star of Heart of Liberty.
Six shrill ultrasonic alarms sounded in his command room.
[Alert! Received a warning from the expeditionary force. An attack from alien civilization is imminent. Please be careful to avoid it...]
"What?" Prince Ang's heart tightened, and he quickly reacted: "Enter level one alert immediately..."
But it was too late.
Hundreds of millions of double-neutron shells came across from the distant starry sky.
Boom boom boom…
Those planets and spaceships that happened to be facing the direction of the solar system were suddenly hit in a way that was difficult to monitor.
A space battleship was torn in half in an instant.
Dozens of mushroom clouds suddenly rose from the surface of a rocky planet.
A horrific explosion.
Violent shock wave.
Dozens of huge pits appeared on the metal structure on the surface of the planet, as if it was covered with pockmarks.
What is even more terrifying is that the orbits of some small natural satellites were knocked off track by double neutron shells.
However, the six-clawed giant is too big a target.
The double neutron shells fired from the Neptune particle cannon continued to come.
explode!
Mushroom cloud!
Shock wave!
Planets and warship wreckage flew everywhere, and the entire six-clawed giant star was in chaos.
However, the true doomsday of the six-clawed man has not yet come.
Until the first fully loaded double neutron shell hit the core equilibrium point of the six-clawed giant star.
In an instant, the entire six-clawed giant star's galaxy system began to become unstable.
From the back of the six-clawed giant star, a large amount of hydrogen plasma erupted as if it was an organism hit by a bullet.
In an instant, a nearby planet was swept by dense plasma, and everything on the surface of the planet seemed to be swept by a strong wind.
And such blows have not ended yet, but continue to come.
