Chapter 253: I Made a Small Fortune for No Apparent Reason

As a high-level civilization, the Olive Branch Civilization would not make such a low-level mistake.

But this is not actually a mistake.

Just like a life, if you harm another life because of your own interests, it is wrong in the eyes of a third party, but for you, this is not actually a mistake, because you have done something wrong for you. say the right thing.

This is different from ordinary errors.

A mistake means that you did not gain anything from doing this, or that you gained a certain amount of gain, but lost more.

Is this the case in Star City?

For /Star City, it is doing the right thing.

The only thing that makes the whole thing look like a mistake is 8672804. As a manager who is kept in the dark, it is like a blind man who has been misled.

But in fact, 8672804 can only be viewed as a third party, not both parties to the incident.

Because decision-making in the Olive Branch Civilization is still made by the shared consciousness cluster. It is like two people fighting, and then a third-party reporter appears. This reporter will report the matter. At this time, one party wants to prevent its own image from being affected. Because of the loss, he began to emphasize to reporters that he was a good person and the other person was a bad person.

But this does not affect the nature of the fight itself.

To put it more plainly and easily, the current actions of Star City are not due to 8672804's mistakes, but to Chu's strategy. What is happening now is also within Chu's expectations.

It is precisely because of this that this matter, which seems very outrageous from the perspective of 8672804, seems very normal from the perspective of Chu.

/ Star City’s shared consciousness cluster took advantage of the trust of the administrators and reinforcements from other Star Cities of the Olive Branch Civilization to direct the occurrence of this war.

And after the first round of offense.

The second support fleet sent a request to flank the first support fleet towards /Star City. This request was received by 8672804. 8672804 had doubts, but at this time the shared consciousness cluster made an analysis.

"Fraud is a common method used by the Civilized Federation. The other party seems to think that we don't know the information about the first fleet yet, so they plan to use this to stage a villain to complain first."

8672804 Due to the limited information sources, although he still had doubts in his heart, he still made the decision to ignore it and strengthen the attack.

The war then became intense.

/Star City's battleships began to help the first fleet to deal with the second fleet. At this time, the second fleet reacted. Perhaps /Star City was attacking them from the beginning, and they were deceived.

Then/Star City is now their enemy.

Fight!

The second war began. This time, except for 8672804, both sides knew each other's identities and began to attack each other.

This battle only lasted for 9 years. During this period, it was non-stop. There were no roundabout tactics, just bombardment against bombardment, and neither side chose to retreat temporarily.

In the end, the number of battleships lost by the first fleet reached 180,000, and the number of battleships lost by /Star City reached 14,000, while the second fleet was completely wiped out, with no remaining battleships.

"Great victory!"

8672804 was extremely happy after receiving the news. The Olive Branch Civilization has not had a war for a long time.

It will be the only administrator to receive military honors in the past tens of thousands of years, which makes it very happy.

"But the support is almost done, we should need more support."

8672804 sends a message to other civilized star cities.

It received a response about 180 years later, but it was not about support, but a letter of challenge.

"/Star City should be destroyed!"

8672804: "????"

If it had a face, it would be confused, not knowing what was going on.

This war was indeed a great victory, but it was not a victory for the Olive Branch Civilization against the Federation of Civilizations, but a victory for Star City against the other star cities of the Olive Branch Civilization.

More than 400,000 warships were eliminated with only 14,000 warships.

…

Just as confused as 8672804 were Fennelly and a group of other federal officials and scholars.

It only took more than ten years from the beginning to the end of the war, but they really felt the rapid changes.

"Did the Olive Branch Civilization really enter a civil war?"

"In fact, Chu is stronger than we thought. He has already instigated other star cities to rebel?"

Without any information as a reference, they could not do analysis.

Because these hundreds of thousands of warships came for the Federation from the beginning, the battlefield is actually closer to the Federation than to Star City.

Therefore, the Federation can directly clean up the battlefield.

Fennelly sent out some interstellar cleaners. These guys are generally 300 to 500 meters in size. They look like spiders, but instead of feet they have ten prehensile hands. These hands can rotate 360 ​​degrees and are very flexible. , they will not drag the debris in the interstellar forward, but will use the centrifugal force of rotation to throw things in one direction like a lead ball.

The speed of these things will reach 1000km/s, and there will be a special magnetic recovery device on its flight track, which is like a lying trash can with an open interior to receive these interstellar garbage. Once it is full, it will start to collect these things. The things were returned to Star City.

Interstellar garbage recycling has always been a relatively large business in the Federation, especially war recycling.

The scrap of a warship can be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of energy coins. It can be said that if you can recycle one, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

And this time the Federation should also be considered to have made a fortune.

Hundreds of thousands of Olive Branch Civilization warships, calculated at the lowest of 100 million per ship, are also tens of trillions of energy coins. In fact, it may be more than that. The cost of these Olive Branch Civilization warships is quite high. It may cost hundreds of billions of energy coins per ship, and the scrap must start at 10 billion.

It seems exaggerated, but it is not.

Even if it is recycled at the price of metal, the price of resource-based metals such as iron in the Federation is usually between 0.1 and 0.3 energy coins per 10,000 meters, and it is normal for an Olive Branch Civilization warship to be at the trillion-level.

The giant ships produced by the Federation today are basically at the trillion-level. Even the Kunlun, which was first manufactured, has nearly 800 trillion meters. After the transformation, it has reached 700 trillion meters. It seems a lot, but it is not much.

In terms of mass, the Federation's warships are only a few tens of thousands of the Earth's, and the volume difference is only two or three thousandths. The difference in mass and volume is the space inside the warship.

If the Federation enters the era of planetary warships, then each of these planetary warships may weigh a trillion trillions of meters, while the weight of the moon is only 735 trillion trillions of meters.

It sounds like a lot, but compared to /Star City itself, they are just small guys. Putting them in front of /Star City feels like an ant standing next to a human.

Although Fennelly and his team made a profit, they were more confused.

What direction will things develop in next?

Don't say they are confused, in fact, Ella and Yan Xia who got the news are also confused.
