Installing the Space Resonator in advance?
This question caused everyone's train of thought to pause.
Right, how could they have forgotten about this?
Everyone present knew what a Space Resonator was. Was it not the thing that Bai Zixuan had used to destroy the hive tunnel in the Milky Way many years ago?
Moreover, it was not as simple as destroying the hive tunnel. It could even destroy the Zergs that were in the tunnel!
After all, a Zerg King in the tunnel had been killed during the previous operation.
Most importantly, the hive tunnel was different from spatial teleportation. It was extremely slow, and the Zergs needed a lot of time to enter the hive tunnel from another galaxy group.
Based on the information that Bai Zixuan had obtained from the Zergs' spiritual network, the closest Zerg King to the local galaxy group was 150 million light-years away. In other words, it would take at least one or two years to reach there.
What did this mean?
This meant that after the Zergs arrived at the Andromeda Galaxy, all of their follow-up troops would be in the hive tunnel.
In that case, if the war situation was not too optimistic, could they directly activate the Space Resonator and destroy the hive tunnel along with the Zergs in it?
That was a good idea.
"No!"
Just as the high-ranking generals were getting excited, Lin Fan uttered two words that were like a bucket of cold water being poured over them.
Everyone was puzzled. 'Why not?'
It was clearly the best idea. If the Zergs really arrived and posed a threat to the defending troops, they could directly activate the Space Resonator to destroy them.
'Why not?'
Everyone looked at Lin Fan and waited for his explanation.
"I've already asked Bai Zixuan, the head of the Science Department, about this yesterday.
"In order to destroy the hive tunnel, hundreds of Space Resonators have to be set up according to the calculated coordinates at the windows of the hive tunnel.
"Moreover, after activating the Space Resonators, the synchronization rate of all the Space Resonators has to be above 96.8% to successfully destroy the hive tunnel!
"When the Zergs arrive and come out of the hive tunnel, they'll inevitably touch some of the Space Resonators and cause them to deviate from their original positions. Even if it's a coincidence that none of the Space Resonators are touched by the Zergs and they're all in their designated positions, it's impossible to ensure that all of the firepower will avoid the Space Resonators once both sides start fighting!
"Once any of the Space Resonators deviates from their coordinates, it'll be impossible to destroy the hive tunnel successfully."
'So … that's it.'
This time, everyone understood what he meant. In other words, it was useless even if one had set it up in advance unless one destroyed the hive before the Insects arrived without any interference.
However, if he did that, he would be back to the problem that Fujiwara Ayako had in the first place!
"I understand, Head!"
"Yes!"
Nodding his head, Lin Fan gestured for him to sit.
After that, a few other generals raised a few key questions.
There were some questions that Lin Fan answered directly. There were also some that Lin Fan discussed with everyone. When there were no more questions, Lin Fan …
"Alright, since there are no more questions, I'll announce the battle plan!"
Looking down, it had already been more than a minute since anyone else raised their hand. Lin Fan stood up and said solemnly.
"Galaxy clusters one to five will immediately make preparations and head to the Andromeda Galaxy in three days. Meet up with Lin Yu's troops at the hive tunnel and set up a defense line together.
"At the same time, upload the war mission to the subsidiary civilization platform. Gather a hundred billion subsidiary civilization allied forces and send them to the Andromeda Galaxy through the super stargate.
"Finally, the overall commander of this battle will be General Liang Xingchen. General Liang, please depart from Hangu Pass immediately and head to the defense line to command!
"As for the remaining fleets, before the Federation Fleet Headquarters issues new orders, maintain level two combat readiness and strengthen the patrols in your respective galaxies!
"Orders received!"
"Yes!"
Below, everyone stood up and shouted in unison.
Among them, the most excited was Liang Xingchen.
For decades, he had been guarding Hangu Pass and had missed many major battles.
To Liang Xingchen, who was known as one of the two War Gods of the Federation, this was an extremely frustrating matter.
However, he was a soldier and would go wherever he was needed. Even though Liang Xingchen was a little frustrated, he remembered his identity and had never complained.
Now, a new battle was about to begin, and this time, the commander was himself!
Suddenly, a sense of lofty aspiration welled up in his heart. Even his age seemed to have become a few years younger …
Liang Xingchen could not help but look at Lin Fan with gratitude.
In truth, this time, Liang Xingchen was not taking special care of Liang Xingchen for personal reasons.
First, if the insectoids were to invade this time, then this would be a defensive battle, not an offensive battle!
If one were to talk about who was the most proficient in defensive battles, Liang Xingchen would probably be the most proficient in this field in the entire Federation.
The other was that Liang Xingchen, as one of the two War Gods recognized by the Federation, had been left to guard Hangu Pass for the past few decades as if he had been sent to the border.
Although in the early days, Hangu Pass was indeed an important node that couldn't be lost, with the destruction of the Big Three and the migration of all the civilizations in the Milky Way, this node lost its original meaning, and there was no point in continuing to station a large number of troops there!
Not only was there no point in guarding it, but it was also a waste of resources to let a famous general stay there.
Therefore, Lin Fan took advantage of this opportunity to transfer Liang Xingchen from Hangu Pass to Andromeda Constellation as the commander of this battle, allowing him to display his greatest talent.
At the same time, he could also make up for the grievances his father-in-law had suffered over the past few decades.
It was simply killing several birds with one stone!
Three days later, the army set out. The five billion Federation fleet and the one hundred billion allied civilizations set out from the various Star Systems.
Whether through space teleportation or hyperspace travel, they all headed to the assembly point.
The gathering of more than one hundred billion battleships had not happened for many years, and this made all the civilizations smell a hint of a great war was about to begin.
However, the "enemy" this time …
Would probably exceed everyone's expectations.
Even if it was the Federation, even if it was Lin Fan!
