Chapter 354 Four Hundred Million? Two Hundred Million?
Earth, the first conference room of the ruling building. Led by Liu Yuan, all the ruling committee members looked solemn.
Just before, a piece of news arrived, causing all the ruling committee members to gather here and begin to collectively discuss a response plan.
"The Hatice Civilization... actually took on the second mission? Although it is just a relatively low-difficulty engineering mission, it has as many as 100 million points. In this way, if the Hatice Civilization takes these two missions, If all are completed, then, even if we complete these four tasks, their points will still exceed ours by 80 million points..."
This is really bad news.
“Their social organization is too low. They have been performing galaxy cleaning missions close to their limit for many years. The potential of their civilization should have been drained.
Especially since they recently took on the ultra-difficult mission of exterminating the Erros civilization, they probably don’t have the energy to spare anymore... Surprisingly, they can take on another mission?
The personal prestige of Generalissimo Hades is so high? "
There is no doubt that the development of the situation has pushed human civilization to the edge of the cliff again.
However, we have really tried our best.
Four missions were taken on at the same time, and more than 800,000 warships and more than one billion military-related personnel were dispatched. Today, only about 100,000 warships are left to defend dozens of star systems in the homeland. That’s all.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the native land is empty. Although you are not too worried about being attacked by other Silver Alliance member civilizations, what should you do if you encounter strange life forms and malicious civilizations?
Of course, we can pay for assistance from advanced civilizations, but this will also take time, and it will take two or three years to arrive.
Can these mere 100,000 warships last for two or three years?
It is no longer possible to squeeze the potential of civilization to take on new tasks like the Hades civilization.
Because our side has really tried its best.
Nowadays, with such advanced technology, it is not easy to become a qualified warrior. This not only requires civilization to spend a lot of resources to cultivate, but also requires extremely high talents for the warriors themselves.
Not just any person can become qualified after a period of training.
With the size of today's civilization, a total population of about 300 billion has produced a total of about 2 billion soldiers and field support personnel, which is a high enough ratio. It is almost impossible to improve again.
So... what should we do?
Is it really because the Hades civilization failed to successfully complete its mission?
This means huge uncertainty and risk.
Han Yang silently felt the heaviness in the conference room and thought of more.
With the computing power he has at his disposal, it is almost not difficult to create a fleet again to carry out the mission.
But at this moment, he couldn't do that.
This is a galaxy cleanup mission that is closely watched by all parties, and he is worried that he will be exposed.
The second thing is that he has no energy left at the moment.
He has devoted all his computing power to basic technology research and development, going all out and not daring to relax at all.
Because only in this way can we hope to be promoted to a fourth-level civilization within the scheduled time limit and truly solve the deadlock. If our side fails to advance to the fourth level civilization, then even if we win the first place in the cleaning task, what is the point?
Don’t put the cart before the horse.
I, and we, all need to go all out, is this an empty statement?
Faced with the heaviness of his colleagues, Liu Yuan remained calm.
“I’ve already made plans for this.
Not only are we taking risks, Hongyang, Uta, Blackwater, Snowland, and Yunguang Civilization are also taking risks. At this moment, it depends on whether they can hold it back..."
Han Yang was not sure that his plan would be realized, nor was he sure that the "big event" he communicated with Luo Tu Civilization would have a basis for realization.
But...it's still the same sentence.
There is no way out at this moment, there is a cliff behind us. At this moment, all we can do is give it a try.
Time passes slowly.
YT-1154 galaxy.
In the flagship of the human fleet, the Guangming dwarf planet-class battleship, Commander Lu Xinghe stood in front of the porthole, looking at the huge planet in front of him, silent for a long time.
It was a dark, cold, frozen planet far away from the star. It was originally desolate and dead, but the arrival of the human fleet changed everything.
Today, there are more than 400 million human engineers, technical workers and other battlefield logistics personnel active on this planet.
Countless tall buildings have been erected, and countless mines, factories, energy bases, etc. occupy a considerable part of the planet's surface, giving this dead planet a touch of prosperity.
But prosperity is just an appearance. Chilling and war are the real themes of this galaxy.
On the remaining planets in this galaxy, a strange life called "Light Beast" is raging. The fleet from human civilization is fighting to the death. And this originally dead planet is the basis for supporting our own battle with it.
But Lu Xinghe's eyes were not directed at those tall buildings and factories, but instead focused on this large building complex for a long time, on the huge and deep canyon that almost bisected the entire industrial area.
The canyon was bottomless and seemed to lead directly to hell. There was no light inside, and there seemed to be no trace of human activity.
But Lu Xinghe knew that there was hidden the true hope of his own fleet and even the entire civilization.
"Commander, according to the report from the logistics base, the last batch of war supplies has been prepared.
Among them, 5.8 million tons of high-purity hydrogen fuel, 160 billion interstellar mines, 10 million satellites of various models, 2 million triggered interstellar missiles, and 500,000 large interstellar artillery positions..."
"Receive it."
Lu Xinghe calmly gave the order: "Prepare... for a decisive battle."
In the past ten years, the human fleet, with its not-so-dominant forces, has been maneuvering and cautious in this distant and cold star system. The command team racked their brains and exhausted their minds, and the soldiers fought bravely and bravely. After making great sacrifices, they finally let the balance of victory tilt towards them.
Next, it is the moment of the final battle.
No matter who it is, they all know that with only about 160,000 warships left, this decisive battle will be difficult.
They are not sure of winning in the end. Moreover, even if we win in the end, we will definitely make great sacrifices.
If we lose, the warships and soldiers who have gone to this star system, as well as hundreds of millions of logistics personnel, are likely to be wiped out, which will affect the overall strategy of civilization.
But, it is still the same sentence. There is no way back, so we can only fight hard.
After receiving this last large-scale supply, the human fleet started again and began to rush to the battlefield.
The battle was very fierce. Our front line was constantly broken by light beasts and constantly replenished by our side. The light beast clusters were constantly killed on a large scale, and they kept gathering together to attack us.
The battle was intense, and the surroundings of those planets were like meat grinders, constantly burying a large number of strange life forms and human warships.
At this time, a combat staff suddenly turned pale and stumbled into the command room.
In the command room, Commander Lu Xinghe, several deputy commanders, many combat staff and military advisers were discussing something fiercely. Orders were issued one after another from here, and the issuance and execution of each order could affect the lives of thousands of people.
Everyone was like a toy with a spring wound up, their brains were running wildly all the time, and they dared not slack off or make any mistakes.
In this situation, the staff officer who broke in rushed to Lu Xinghe regardless of the fierce battle, lowered his voice but still said anxiously: "Report, there is an emergency!"
Lu Xinghe's expression moved: "Oh? Go ahead."
The staff officer gritted his teeth and said: "The long-range detection system detected a large flash outside the galaxy, confirming that a large fleet is approaching us.
Through the tail flame type, we confirmed that the fleet does not belong to us or our allies, but has more than 90% similarity with the fleet of Hongyang civilization!
The fleet size is estimated to be around 120,000 warships!"
What? !
At this moment, in the combat command room that was almost boiling, no matter how important the tactics were discussed before, everyone immediately quieted down.
The Hongyang fleet... is coming to attack us?
They are not here to help us, are they? The two civilizations have already formed a feud. If they are not here to attack us, what else can they do?
But how dare they?
The Silver Alliance stipulates that any civilization is prohibited from attacking a civilization that is performing a cleanup mission!
Even the homeland is strictly prohibited from attacking, not to mention the fleet itself that is fighting!
Where do they get such courage!
But this does not seem to be the time to tangle with this issue.
In any case, they are here after all.
But... our side is fighting a desperate battle with the light beast cluster.
Our side cannot even gain an advantage at this moment, and we have to try our best to maintain it in order to barely maintain a balance.
There is no way, because because of the need to perform four tasks at the same time, our fleet has too few troops.
Victory has not yet shown the dawn, and any small accident may lead to the collapse of the whole situation. Everyone, from Commander Lu Xinghe to the most basic soldiers, everyone is doing their best and has no ability to take care of the rest.
But at this moment, the Hongyang civilization actually has 120,000 warships to attack us?
How can we fight this!
At this moment, everyone's face turned pale and their hearts were filled with despair.
Lu Xinghe's expression was still calm.
"Are you finally here?"
He clenched his fists tightly, and recalled the words that Liu Yuan, the head of the country, said to him personally when he set out.
"This time, the number of logistics personnel dispatched by our civilization is 400 million. But the number reported to the outside world is 200 million. Do you know why?" (End of this chapter)
