Chapter 574 - 250 natural enemies_2
Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, warships flew in from deep space, and in the distance, space ripples generated by more warships transitioning were visible.
If previously, in the face of a suddenly erupting Insect Race catastrophe across the region, the Imperial Military Department still held back its military strength, with the elite fleet power of the Emperor Star Circle slowly moving outward,
then now, the Imperial Military Department had called out all types of warships they could mobilize, converging at the fastest speed towards the first line of defense.
To ensure nothing went wrong, they would establish three lines of defense.
The first line of defense was responsible for guarding the gateway into the Emperor Star Circle.
The Emperor Star Circle encompassed several dozen Administrative Stars nearest to the Emperor Star, which were the economic and cultural center of the Empire, housing forty percent of the Empire’s population within ten percent of its living area and possessing more than seventy-five percent of the Empire’s wealth.
After years of construction, a tight defense perimeter had been constructed outside the Emperor Star Circle.
Space was vast, but in areas of the Constant Star System where distances were relatively close, wide gravitational balance zones suitable for massive fleet transitions were scarce. The large gravitational balance zones on the periphery of the Emperor Star Circle had been equipped with gravity diversion devices.
Although the Insect Race’s transition principle differed from human ships’, the demands on the gravitational balance zones for large-scale Insect Swarm transitions were even more stringent.
The position of the first defense line was placed precisely on the Insect Swarm’s inevitable path in this direction.
What if the Insect Swarm changed direction?
With the Emperor Star as the center point, the fleet’s transfer speed in the ’inner circle’ inevitably exceeded the Insect Swarm’s speed around the ’outer circle.’
