Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

In the space station in Entalos' low-Earth orbit, three interstellar mercenaries of different races are still playing cards.

In stark contrast to their idle appearance, the star port outside the porthole was also in a state of depression.

Entalos-II is the home planet of the Sionstrucks, the main planet of the Serb civilization, and the capital of the Technology Hunter Alliance.

The reason why it was voted as the capital of the alliance by a majority of votes is not only because the Serb forces have always occupied a dominant position in the alliance.

It is also unique because of its location.

The distance from the civilization-controlled areas where several other major members of the alliance are located is relatively balanced.

Not too far, not too close, just right in the center of the entire alliance.

Such a unique geographical...or should I say astronomical advantage.

It brings good trade liquidity and is extremely suitable as the core platform for intra-alliance trade.

The Serb civilization, Fire Reef Cold Lizards, Bann Ape Clan, and other member civilizations of technological hunters all use this geographical advantage to conduct bulk trade and logistics transfers here.

Under this influence, Entalos II has become one of the most important markets in the Fire Reef Star Territory.

In its low-Earth orbit, those large and small space stations, as well as the huge star port, came from this.

This is the home planet of the Serbs and their money bag.

However, at this moment, the money bag seemed a little shriveled.

On weekdays, the Entalos Star Port is bustling with ships and traffic, but now not even half of the berths are full.

In the large interstellar logistics center next to the star port, there are few transshipment fleets coming to sign orders and ship goods.

In the past, every day from the moment I got to work, I would have to stand in the dispatch room, curse and shout into the communicator for more than ten hours, and even shout to the thirsty dispatch chief. At this moment, he was bored and lying on the chair. Carapace cover all day long.

It’s almost time to cut out a picture of Riverside During the Qingming Festival.

Behind it, other dispatchers in the entire dispatch center simply played cards all day long.

Many people even didn't come at all.

No one is in the mood to catch them absenteeism.

...The gates are deserted and the carriages and horses are sparse.

This is the true portrayal of Entalos II, once one of the major trade centers in the Fire Reef Star Territory, today.

——Everything stems from the lost expedition team.

Their departure took away a huge team of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as a large amount of funds and materials prepared for it.

This is a very high risk investment.

Although the expected returns are also very generous, its terrifying upfront investment determines that it requires excellent medium-term performance in order for 'investors' to maintain sufficient confidence.

...and now, the confidence is gone.

Terrifying words such as 'annihilated' and 'lost everything' have appeared time and time again in the headlines of major media outlets in the Fire Reef Star Territory, causing the Serbs to be in constant panic.

It also caused his allies, who were in the same alliance but seemed to be incompatible with each other, to make some malicious moves.

The depression of Entaros II is one of them.

..

No matter what era, using troops over long distances and on a large scale is fatal.

This is a huge project that requires considerable investment.

Even in the interstellar age, once the supply line grows, it will still be a headache.

...It would be better to say that it is even more difficult because of the interstellar age.

After all, with the improvement of technological level, it is becoming more and more difficult to "obtain supplies locally".

To put it aside, if it is just a 'process standard', it cannot be the same.

The army in the classical era could barely manage to move lightly.

As long as there is an army of mules and horses carrying armor, weapons, and other baggage, even if the soldiers have nothing to eat, as long as there are not many of them, they can hunt in the woods and scrape the land, and they can barely live in poor condition. ' way to reach your destination.

But even with the amount of supplies required by military power in the classical era, there are a lot of civilizations and forces that are held back by their logistical capabilities, or to be precise, by their resource supply capabilities.

From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it has never been like this.

The Three Conquests of Goguryeo and the Three Great Conquests of Wanli...how many blood and tears of feudal monarchs!

Even after the Renaissance, there was still a negative example of the little lion.

Napoleon and Mustache were not the only ones who were defeated by General Winter in Moscow.

We cannot forget the unlucky Swedes.

As for modern...the demand for fuel by various vehicles has already made it almost impossible for the army to move without railways, highways, ports, and airports.

The negative example of this is still the mustache.

The name of Desan's 'Holy Mule and Horse Empire' was not just blown away.

As long as their refined oil supply capacity can be one-third that of the Yankees, and as long as their trailer and truck availability can be one-third that of the Yankees, it’s hard to say whether Comrade Steel can still carry it. live.

And the interstellar era...

For solutions in the interstellar era, the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is too big.

The good ones are like Su Wen, who can open a star gate and set up a transmission channel, and everything will be fine.

The bad ones are naturally similar to the Serbs, who carry a factory on their back...

...that's right.

The current Serbian home planet is so short-term and empty, largely because when the expedition set sail, it took away a large amount of equipment and a large number of engineering ships.

After all, if they don't do this, it will be difficult for them to meet the logistical needs dozens of light years away.

It is unrealistic to expect local supply.

They don't have a stargate.

In fact, among so many civilizations and power camps in the Fire Reef Star Territory,

Except for the 'Guardian Knights' who are backed by a certain lost empire, no other camp has mastered star gate technology.

In this case, you can only use traditional jump transportation.

But there is no hyperspace channel in the Sol galaxy.

But even if there were, the six-race coalition simply does not have the ability to transport massive supplies from dozens of light-years away by means of hyperspace jumps...

——It is also sailing in hyperspace, and the degree of energy consumption cannot be generalized.

Just like Mercedes-Benz's 2023 model is an internal combustion engine car, Mercedes-Benz's 1923 model is also an internal combustion engine car.

It is also a hyperspace engine, and its energy consumption ratio, thrust-to-weight ratio, and cruising speed also have extremely high differences.

Therefore, when supplies cannot be continuously supplied from home.

It became a natural choice for the joint expedition to sail together with a large number of engineering ships filled with equipment and a large number of transport ships filled with supplies.

In order to take the lead in the expedition, in order to be qualified to take the largest share of the pie during the harvest.

The Serbs spent a lot of money, patchwork, and even borrowed money to get what they wanted.

Not just an entire regiment, all equipped with mecha marines.

That huge logistics fleet also included a lot of supplies that they had embezzled from various places and even canceled certain orders with high liquidated damages.

If you describe it in terms of the financial world...

In this action, they used at least ten times the leverage.

When the investment prospects are uncertain, but at least the situation is relatively optimistic, creditors and investors are naturally on the same side.

But now, they are liquidated.

Naturally, the 'partners' who had been smiling at Yan Yan before would no longer show any particularly friendly smiles.

——After paying a huge price, the decline of the Serbs is inevitable.

But after seeing their weakness clearly, other forces were not willing to let them go so easily.

Forcing the authorities to repay debts is just the beginning.

Public opinion exaggeration, border frictions, tariff negotiations, and even territorial disputes...

One bad news after another came one after another.

The so-called wall collapses and everyone pushes it down, this is nothing more than this.

This is not surprising at all in the Fire Reef Star Domain:

How could there be an eternal boss in a den of thieves?

——Those who are the boss cannot afford to lose.

Once you encounter a setback, your decline will be exposed.

His former loyal brothers who beat their chests and sang hymns would instantly turn into hungry wolves grinding their teeth and sucking blood, pounced on him and bit into his flesh and blood.

The depression of Entaros II's trade market is just one part of the economic squeeze plan carried out by other forces against Serb civilization;

The economic squeeze plan against the Serb civilization is also just one part of the plan to destroy the foundation of their civilization.

When Su Wen still didn't know.

He had wiped out all the alien forces in the solar system with a casual wave of his hand.

the resulting consequences.

He has quietly pushed an interstellar civilization that he still regards as an enemy to a dead end.
