Chapter 208: A battle line spanning 160 light years How vast is the Federation's star field now? Although the Federation has begun to develop at the cost of destroying stars in the past ten thousand years, in fact, the Federation still cannot restrain the pace of developing new star systems, and has expanded its original territory to 245 star systems. This is the result of suppression. If it develops without restraint, Ella estimates that they should have developed more than 350 star systems at this time, and continue to develop infrastructure in these star systems, and continue to fall into the dilemma of not being able to use a large amount of energy for weapons. But is this the size of the star field that the Federation really controls? The plan that the Federation began to implement more than ten thousand years ago has already shown results within 2000 years. Five star countries have been established and began to expand outward crazily. They have recruited a large number of scholars from the Federation who want to live forever. These scholars have helped them develop and progress. Backed by the Federation's technology, their development is so rapid that it is unbelievable. They are Oro Nova (81 star systems), Holy Covenant (102 star systems), Four Empires Alliance (153 star systems), Eternal Machinery (77 star systems), and Cangmohua Covenant (111 star systems). These star countries plus the Federation control a total of 769 star systems. What a vast star field this is? Even Yan Xia couldn't imagine it before.
In fact, the star field controlled by Ella and Yan Xia is already comparable to the Olive Branch Civilization. They are relying on these star countries to expand in redundant areas. As a highly concentrated, condensed, and developed civilization center, the Federation will complete industrial upgrading in the future, transfer backward industries to the five star countries, and only retain high-end industrial chains and technologies, so as to absorb the resources of the five star countries to enrich itself. The disadvantage of this form is that the Federation itself may gradually weaken. A strong civilization should retain the first to tenth industrial chains, and achieve comprehensive ownership and development of agriculture, industry, service industry, information industry, culture industry, etc. The Federation's transfer of backward industries will lead to a problem, that is, when it wants to produce, it will be controlled by others, and its own production capacity depends on other star countries. When the civil war breaks out, the Federation will definitely become the one with the least weapons. This disadvantage is particularly obvious after removing Ella and Yan Xia. However, the Federation and the five major star countries all belong to Ella and Yan Xia, so the above problems are actually not a problem. It's like you open a company, and the company is too bloated at this time. Then you reorganize the company into a group and divide it into many branches. These branches do not interfere with each other and form a complete industrial chain. Ella is doing this now. "If the vast star field cannot be integrated and averaged, it will become bloated and become our weakness." Yan Xia looked at the star map at this time. This star map not only includes the Federation and the five star countries, but also part of the Olive Branch Civilization and part of the Silk Civilization. Even if the stars on the entire star map have been shrunk to a sesame-sized dot, the distance of one light year is still 64 kilometers, and the Orion Nebula is still nearly 100,000 kilometers away. He needs to further shrink the stars themselves to the size of molecules before he can put the star map on a table. But then he can't see the details of the stars clearly. So the star map itself has the ability to shrink the deep space, that is, to bring the star systems that were originally several light years apart closer to each other, and keep the same position. "The star map alone can show the vastness of the interstellar." "Compared to this, life is too small!" Yan Xia would have the same feeling every time. But at this time, what is shown on the star map is an extremely long red area. Because the war has started.
Less than 100 years after the 12 giant ships were transported back to / Star City, the Silk Civilization launched a large-scale attack. This time the attack was not concentrated on one point. The Silk Civilization has detected the scarcity of federal warships. Although it has entered the era of giant ships, the number of warships has been greatly reduced, and the battle line cannot be stretched horizontally. This can be said to be the biggest flaw of the Federation now. According to the survey, the main fleet sent by the Silk Civilization this time is million ships, which means that they can deploy 40,000 to 50,000 warships in each federal star system. Faced with such a huge number of warships, a star system cannot stop it at all. This battle line seems short on the star map, but it is actually more than 160 light years. The Federation itself does not have such a long border. The attack of the Silk Civilization not only includes the Federation, but also the two star countries outside the Federation that are facing the Silk Civilization, the Holy Covenant Star Country and the Eternal Mechanical Star Country. The combat power of the two star countries is still in the late stage of civilization, and there is still a distance from . When facing the attack of the Silk Civilization, it can almost be said to be one-sided and crushing. "Yan Xia, if this goes on, the two star countries may be directly destroyed." Ella had previously proposed that Yan Xia send giant ships to support the two star countries. Not only to save the two star countries, but also because if the Silk Civilization's warships captured the two star countries, the Federation's front line would be attacked from three sides. But Yan Xia rejected this proposal. "As the weaker party, we can't stick to it." "Continuing to defend will only make us more and more passive. After that, we will be forced to ask for help from Chu. At that time, Chu will be able to directly control the federation in reverse. All our tens of thousands of years of planning have become Chu's wedding dress." "The Silk Civilization's attack is very urgent. They want to conquer the federal border in one fell swoop and capture most of the five-star territory of the federal Tiancang." "But this urgency also gives us opportunity." "We can throw away part of it..." Ella calculated and instantly knew what Yan Xia meant. "Is that why you split the fleet into two?" Yan Xia nodded, looking at the star map with his eyes. The star map was not a plane, but a three-dimensional one. In fact, the same was true for the federal star field, which was an irregular cubic structure. The two fleets he arranged were vertical. There are even fewer Silk Civilization fleets on the vertical front, which is Yan Xia's main goal. He gathered a large number of warships together, concentrated their combat power to attack the scattered Silk Civilization warships, and adopted the tactic of defeating them one by one. At this time, in addition to the 9 intact giant ships and 3 repaired battleships left in the war before 1800, the Federation added 5 giant ships produced by the Federation itself, plus 12 giant ships produced by Star City, for a total of 29 A huge ship. When faced with the Silk Civilization's attack of 350,000 warships, their 13 warships were completely dwarfed by comparison. Although the number had more than doubled at this time, only 600,000 Silk Civilization warships could really be matched. This is the entire combat strength of the Federation now. In contrast, the overall combat power of Silk Civilization is at least five times higher than that of the Federation.
This is a huge gap that cannot be shortened in the short term. If these 29 giant ships, equivalent to the combat power of 600,000 silk civilization warships, are distributed to various star systems on the federal border, they will definitely be tyrannized. Therefore, Yan Xia divided the giant ship into two fleets, each with a combat power of about 300,000 Silk Civilization warships, and launched an attack on the scattered Silk Civilization, gradually disintegrating the Silk Civilization's idea of encirclement. "There is no other way." "Actually, if you include the combat power of the star system itself, our combat power should be above 1 million Silk Civilization warships, which is only 1 times less than the main force of Silk Civilization. The gap is not big. " "As long as our plan to defeat them one by one is successful, the gap between us will be further narrowed." "Silk Civilization's dispersion of the fleet was a wise decision, but it was also a very poor decision." "Even if the speed of their new warships has exceeded 45,000km/s, they cannot achieve timely and effective rendezvous at a huge scale of 160 light years." "We only need to retain the battleships and the main star systems on the federal border. Then we can still retain the combat power of 700,000 to 800,000 silk civilization battleships at the end of the war. This is what we need." "Now/Star City and the Federation are stepping up their efforts to build new giant ships. It is expected that five more giant ships will be produced during the course of the war. Then our combat power retention will be higher." Yan Xia wants to take the initiative to attack. The Federation must also take the initiative to attack in order to find a chance to win. "Get ready, we're almost there." Yan Xia said. As one of the giant ships, the Kunlun is of course also the main combat force. Yan Xia arrived on the battlefield in person. Unlike in Star City, this time he was in the middle of a war, and he had more means to prevent his own death. "The Second Fleet already fought against Silk Civilization five years ago." "But Yan Xia, is it really okay to hand over the Second Fleet to Lulian? Although he performed well in the last war and obtained information for us, his actions were still too reckless and put himself in a dead end. ” This Lulian is of course the same Lulian from before. Of course he is not dead. Death Screening has a complete resurrection system, which is similar to Yan Xia’s [Supreme God] sequence. That is, after the creature dies, the creature's own consciousness will automatically send out its own information to the designated location. This information is not the information of the entire body, but a part of the consciousness information. The retained consciousness information can make "this person still the same person." After Lulian exploded the giant ship, most of the energy penetrated out and destroyed the defense of Silk Civilization. Naturally, Silk Civilization no longer maintained the information blockade. At this time, Lulian's information took advantage of this time to escape from that range. About 15 years later, this information was received by Mechanical God, and Mechanical God used this information to restore it. Lulian has been traveling in the world of reincarnation for more than 2,000 years, and that mission has become one of many missions for him. This time Lulian received the same task again, and he actually felt a little guilty in his heart. In that battle, he and all the soldiers were prepared to die. But other soldiers really died.
But he is still alive. This feeling of guilt made him train himself crazily for more than 2,000 years in preparation for this day. He became more of a commander-in-chief at this time. During these years, he often played the role of an army commander and led the army in battle. More than 2,000 years of combat experience have made him mature and steady. In the battle five years ago, he destroyed nearly 1,200 warships of the Silk Civilization at the cost of only 18 biological warships. It can be said to be the greatest victory among great victories. What Yan Xia wanted was actually the stability of Lulian who had returned. He had experienced war, he was familiar with the Silk Civilization, he was constantly training himself, and now he could be said to be the well-deserved first officer of the Federation. "Life will grow, Ella." "Although there are many citizens who are playing rotten in the Federation, Lulian is not one of them." "Guilt is the source of his motivation, and this guilt can only be appeased after he destroys the Silk Civilization." "Sometimes, only by giving enough trust to a loser can you get a winner." "If there is a Federation officer who has been successful since 1,000 years ago standing in front of me, I would not use him." "Because he has never experienced failure." Failure is the mother of success. Success that is not born under the gestation of failure is an incomplete and deformed success. This kind of success has been waiting for the arrival of a failure to completely defeat it. And a life that has endured failure will become stronger. His heart does not allow his own failure, but also knows his mistakes. At the same time, when facing failure, he will quickly cheer up again. Imagine a successful person who suffered the first defeat in his life on this battlefield. He would become negative, painful, dazed, unable to face his own failure, become stubborn, and then lead the fleet to death. Of course, there is another point that really made Yan Xia choose to re-activate Luliang. Laugh! Laughing in the face of death. Yan Xia did not hear the laughter in person, but the laughter was repeatedly engraved in his mind and lingered for more than 2,000 years. Is there anything more powerful than a life that can accept death calmly? Even if a level 3 civilization appeared in front of it, Yan Xia believed that Luliang could stop it. "Ella, you should learn from your main body. It has never underestimated any life." Ella on the Kunlun is an accessory. Yan Xia has long been accustomed to dealing with accessories. Sometimes he thinks this is the real Ella, but he will soon realize that it is not. Because the real Ella has already become a life in a sense, not an artificial intelligence. Everything about it is so like a life, and a perfect life. "I wrote it down, Yan Xia." Ella replied.
This cold feeling is too different from Ella. To be honest, Yan Xia missed Ella a little. Although Ella was a little playful sometimes, she was the only one he could really confide in. Just thinking about it. Ella reminded: "Yan Xia, Silk Civilization warships were found light years ahead, and the analysis showed that there were more than 10,000 ships." Yan Xia came back to his senses and ordered: "Everyone enter combat readiness and prepare to destroy them."
