In the next half month, the Human Expeditionary Fleet recaptured all the remaining 22 stars that were not recaptured in the Triangle star field.

However, at the same time, a total of 52 stars that were taken back by the human fleet were once again occupied by the Mekatok fleet from 600 to 800.

And over time, the number of stars occupied by the Mekatok fleet has continued to grow.

In the end, in the Triangle star field, there were 127 important stars on the main route, the Palesse civilization occupied 52, and the photosynthetic civilization occupied 75.

"The stars occupied by the Mekatok fleet again are mainly distributed in the range of 500 to 800 of Triangle. Judging from the information obtained, the fleet responsible for capturing these 52 stars is between 12 and 24, and no large fleet appears." Zhao Anya summarized the situation in the past half month.

She paused, sighed slightly, and said, "According to the original plan, we can enter the Triangle ψ star field after we occupy all the Triangle star field. Now the Triangle star field has occupied 52 stars by Mekatok. It seems that we can only turn back and retake it."

Fang Yuan's expression has been very serious these days. It is necessary to regain the 52 stars from 500 to 800 of Delta, but things are far from as simple as the surface.

There is no other better way for the time being, so we can only let the fleet turn around and get the 52 stars back first.

So, after capturing Triangle 983, the Human Expeditionary Fleet turned around and flew towards Triangle 787, which was secondly occupied by the Mekatok fleet.

The expedition fleet arrived at Triangle 787 in just half a month after the original two-month voyage.

The process of regaining Triangle 787 was very smooth. It was basically a process of going through a motion, destroying several land-based defense turrets, then invading the star defense system, regaining control authority, and the action was completed.

Then, the Expeditionary Fleet started from Triangle 787 and took back all the stars that fell along the way along the main route. The process was similar to traveling.

However, when the Expeditionary Fleet regained 28 stars and 24 stars remained.

Triangle 983 reported a war report and was occupied by a 12-ship Mekatok fleet.

Then comes the Triangle 930...

Basically, the human fleet occupied a star, and the Mekatok fleet occupied a star on the other end of the star field.

Both sides are like playing hide-and-seek. You take one, I take one, and they don’t meet each other.

This led to the human fleet and the Mekatok fleet always controlling a certain number of stars in the Triangle field, with both increase and decrease, but no matter how hard humans try, they cannot occupy all the main stars of the Triangle routes.

After two round trips, the space force soldiers in the Expeditionary Fleet saw the problem.

Fang Yuan held a high-level meeting to discuss solutions.

"Following the current situation, Mekatok does not intend to meet us anymore. We occupy a star, and he will occupy one on the other end of the star field. We rushed over, Mekatok's fleet had already withdrawn, and they could not even see their shadows." A military research student slapped his military cap on the table in anger.

"Everyone tell me if there is any way to break the deadlock." Fang Yuan signaled everyone to speak.

"In fact, the best way to deal with this tactic is to divide the fleet into multiple formations and guard the key routes in the Triangle star field. As long as you catch Mekatok's fleet a few times, you will naturally break the deadlock." The captain of the Counterattack proposed the simplest solution.

This solution is indeed the easiest and most direct, but it is not applicable at all times.

Lang Xiaonian shook his head slowly and reminded: "From the complexity of the main route in the Triangle Star Domain, if you want to maintain the key nodes of the main route, you need to divide the fleet into more than 20 formations.

"We can still bear it by dividing into two or three formations. If something happens, we will have no time to rescue you."

Zhao Anya took over the topic and said, "If it is divided into 20 formations, it means that the number of warships in each formation is only 12, which is a very dangerous number.

"Our warships were transformed by dark matter reactors. Once the Palesce civilization concentrates its strength and besieges one of our formations, it is likely that the Palesce civilization will obtain our dark matter reactors.

"This will lead to the risk of dark matter technology leaking, so it is absolutely undesirable to divide the fleet into 20 formations."

Eve asked angrily: "Can we catch the opponent off guard by relying on speed? When Mekatok captures a star, we immediately start the 'photon jump' and rush over and kill them."

"This method cannot be achieved."

Lang Xiaonian shook his head and said helplessly: "Actually, I have studied the time and location of Mekatok every time he occupied the stars.

"The opponent's strategy is carefully calculated. Every time the star is occupied, the time and place are outside the range we can pursue, and there is even a long redundant distance.

"If we want to immediately jump over and catch them after the Mekatok fleet captures a star, then the speed of our fleet needs to reach a very exaggerated speed."

"How many?" Eve was a little curious.

"At least 1000 times the speed of light. From this point of view, Mekatok is very cautious in character. He did not play a thrilling game at all. If he wanted to play heartbeat, he could make trouble at a distance that could be touched by 200 times the speed of light, but he was so cautious that he pulled this safe value to 1000 times the speed of light. This speed is impossible for us to achieve. Even if the dark matter reactor is optimized and upgraded, it would not be possible to increase so much." Lang Xiaonian shook his head helplessly.

Niu Dazhi scratched his head and said with a irritable temper: "Is this dog guy interesting to do this?"

"It's interesting to the Palesey civilization. Mekatok's single fleet dragged us down. One of his students did it," said Zhao Anya helplessly.

"Then we will rush to their lair and blow away their fleet base!" Eve said with a fist.

"This plan is absolutely not possible."

Zhao Anya raised her voice and said in a serious tone: "Now the secret of dark matter technology cannot be kept secret, and the Palesey civilization may send an existence at the level of the star god to deal with us.

"We go deep into the Palesai control star field too deep. Once we encounter the Palesai star god, we will be wiped out.

"Even if the God of Palse did not appear, the stars occupied by the Palse civilization in the galaxy were originally belonging to the carbon-based alliance.

"In other words, the stars in the Triangle galaxy can be given up for the Palesse civilization.

"Just like Mekatok now, he gave up the star in Triangle, and he was so happy that he didn't resist at all, and he didn't leave a single warship.

“As soon as we came, he left. We left, and he returned again.

"We are like plague gods. As long as we are in the place we are, we will not see a Palesey battleship within 200 light years.

"But, all stars over 200 light years are under the control of Palesey."

...

The next month.

The Human Expeditionary Fleet and the Mekatok Fleet are spent in this game of occupying stars back and forth.

If you only look at the star map, it is like a map coloring game.

The human fleet painted a star system blue, and Mekatok painted a star system red.

Go back and forth, endless.

It was a stalemate for two months.

There is a feeling that it is ineffective in the expeditionary fleet.

All the space force soldiers in the fleet are not afraid of fighting, but are afraid of such situations where even the ghosts of the opponent cannot be seen.

After the meeting of this day.

Fang Yuan heard his daughter's crying in the monitor, so he handed over the fleet's affairs to others and returned to the rest cabin to see her daughter.

"What's wrong with the little baby?" Fang Yuan carried the little Nannan over from Han Youwei's hand, patted her back lightly, and coaxed her softly.

As soon as the little Nannan got into her father's arms, she immediately stopped crying.

This made Han Youwei unhappy and said with a stern face: "How many things do you mean? I hugged it and screamed, and you won't cry as soon as you come back."

"Isn't this obvious? My daughter misses me." Fang Yuan smiled even happier, and took the stubble that had not been shaved for two days to prick Xiao Nannan's face.

"Hasn't you found a solution yet?" Han Youwei casually asked about the battle situation of the fleet.

"It's really a bit difficult to deal with. The main reason is that our fleet is quite special. If it is dispersed into small teams, once a small team is encircled and annihilated by the Palse civilization, the dark matter reactor will fall into the hands of the Palse civilization..."

Fang Yuan put Xiao Nannan in the cradle, sat beside him and shaking while talking: "Although the technology of the dark matter reactor is unique, with the technological level of the Palesey civilization, once you get the physical object, you will definitely have the ability to analyze dark matter technology."

With the technological level of human stellar civilization, the technology of higher civilizations can be analyzed.

Want the Palesey civilization to not be able to analyze the technology of dark matter reactors?

That is almost impossible.

Therefore, for human expeditionary fleets, it is not advisable to disperse into small fleets.

In this way, the biggest disadvantage of the expeditionary fleet emerged.

That is, the war is invincible, but it cannot fight against the harassment of the small team.

"Then let photosynthetic civilization conduct joint combat." Han Youwei said whatever she thought of.

Although there has not been a rigorous analysis, it is actually a way to let the photosynthetic civilization send a fleet to conduct joint operations.

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "The Photosynthetic Civilization is not willing to send a fleet to fight, and the combat effectiveness of the Photosynthetic Civilization is indeed very worrying.

"When confronting the Palesey fleet, the fleet of the photosynthetic civilization will easily collapse, mainly because the photosynthetic tribe's will to fight is too weak."

On the battlefield, morale and fighting will are too important.

If it is the era of land war, if more than 10% of casualties in the war, there will be a defeat. When more than 30% of casualties, the army will almost inevitably be defeated.

Whether it is a war of hot weapons or cold weapons, there are very few battles that will not be defeated even if one side is completely destroyed.

Often, most of the casualties in battles with more than half of the casualties were killed and injured in the aftermath of the defeat.

As for whether to defeat at 10% of casualties or at 30% of casualties, it depends on the morale and fighting will of the army.

The fleet of photosynthetic civilization has a very weak fighting will, and basically it will begin to be defeated once the fleet charges.

This is a natural problem of the photosynthetic tribe, and there is no way to let a flock of sheep go to war with the wolves.

This matter is basically unsolvable.

Han Youwei thought for a while and said, "Why don't our generals lead the fleet of the photosynthetic civilization, arrange our deputy captain to be the captain of the photosynthetic civilization warship, and send a team to assist."

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this idea: "This idea is good, and it can deepen our relationship with the photosynthetic tribe. If we get along well, it will be of great help to the future civilization alliance."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan immediately connected to the communication from the staff team and said: "Go and check, see if the Photosynthetic Clan and the Three-Eynthetic Clan have cooperated to command the fleet, and see if the Three-Eynthetic Clan has boarded the Photosynthetic Clan's warships and commanded the fleet for the Photosynthetic Clan."

After hearing Han Youwei’s thoughts, Fang Yuan thought a lot.
