Voyage of the Stars

Of course, this breakout path is not directly opened up. Instead, as the Tianqin moves, the warships of the battleship cluster will appear on each node in a timely and planned manner under the control of strong artificial intelligence, providing the basis for Tianqin. Qinhao has opened up a new space path.

This look is like a person wading across a river, and the river automatically gives way in front of the person.

Without the coordination of strong artificial intelligence, such cooperation would be difficult to achieve. But in order to cover the Tianqin to break out of the encirclement, the battleship cluster also paid a heavy price.

By the time the Tianqin successfully escaped from the melee, the number of warships following it was less than 300,000, and they were still decreasing.

However, this situation changed after successfully breaking out of the melee circle, because the Donghai and Xihai squadrons had rushed to the battlefield and were only about 7 light seconds away from the Tianqin.

In this round of the game between the two sides, the Tianqin battleship cluster spent a total of more than 1.8 million battleships in order to hold back the Red Flame Civilization. In the melee, the opponent's fleet also had more than 3.6 million ships. The battleship was destroyed.

In fact, if it weren't for the support fleet equipped with No. 1 alloy armor, the battle loss ratio would be even greater.

At this moment, the fleets of both sides once again transformed from a squadron into a large fleet, but the number was much smaller than before the war began.

The three human fleets combined, there are only 2.9 million ships left, and the Red Flame civilization is not many, with only 5.07 million ships left.

The battleships of the Red Flame Civilization dropped sharply from 1.4 million at the beginning of the war to 5.07 million, a loss of more than half, while the human warships also dropped from 6 million to 2.9 million, with a loss of nearly half.

Of course, judging from the battle loss ratio, humans still have the upper hand, but the results are much smaller than those five years ago. The overall battle loss ratio has not reached 1:3.

Regarding such a result, many senior officials on the Tianqin believed that this was the reason for the appearance of the armor made of No. 1 alloy material.

In these years, the combat effectiveness of the human fleet has not been improved, but the interstellar trading market has significantly improved its defense power due to No. 1 Alloy technology. More importantly, the defense power brought by No. 1 Alloy Armor has been improved. It seems that there happened to be a chemical reaction with their advanced ultra-micro nanorobot technology, allowing their new warships to surge in combat effectiveness to a level that is comparable to that of enemy warships.

Because of this, some people on the Tianqin complained that they should not have told the other party the No. 1 alloy manufacturing technology. Of course, this is just a complaint. At that time, in order to obtain the fourth-level civilization creation, that is, the negative mass generator, humans promised to hand over the No. 2 alloy technology. If they did not come up with the No. 1 alloy manufacturing technology to confuse the public, they would not have it at all. to that creation.

"Commander Yue, the longer this war drags on, the worse it will be for us."

As soon as the Tianqin broke out of the melee and met the Donghai and Xihai squadrons, a military expert immediately said on the internal channel: "Although we have destroyed the opponent's Earth-6 planet base, we are now preparing to destroy their third planet base." Two planetary bases, but generally speaking, they have been operating in this system for many years.

They still have an absolute advantage in terms of the speed of resource extraction and the number of resource development sites they occupy. Because of this, they are much faster than us in producing warships. It took us five years to produce a hundred new warships, but as we can see from the first war, they produced at least three million warships.

In other words, the production capacity ratio between us is 1 to 3, us 1 to them 3, and the battle loss ratio was still 1 to 3 overall, or even higher, but after their new warships were added, the gap was eliminated. The score was 1 to 2.8, and this was despite the excellent use of tactics this time.”

"If the opponent has all new warships in the future, in a head-on battle, it may not be impossible to exchange two warships for one of our warships."

This expert's words can be summed up in one sentence. After the emergence of the other side's new warships, the overall strength of one side in the interstellar trading market has surpassed that of humans. If the war continues for such a long time, the ultimate loser will be humans.

After listening to the military expert's words, Yue Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but you have overlooked one issue, or in other words, you have neglected one issue, and that is the population. Oh, the alien population.

You should also have discovered that since the strong artificial intelligence was eliminated by us, the opponent's fleet has never been controlled by the strong artificial intelligence. In other words, they are fighting our steel with their lives.

Taking this into account, even if they can really achieve a two-for-one record with us in future wars, can their population really keep up? "

Yue Yuan's words seemed like rhetorical questions, but in fact he was also asking himself.

But there is no answer to this question now, because humans still don’t know how living individuals exist in this interstellar trading market, nor do they know how many living individuals are needed to operate a warship, let alone their fertility rate.

All we know is that the third, fourth, and fifth planetary bases located inside this star system are their core areas, and they are filled with their living individuals.

Naturally, the fertility of aliens cannot be compared to that of humans. If they were the same as humans, Yue Yuan would be absolutely sure that they would be beaten to the point of having no soldiers left, otherwise they would be like fish, laying tens of thousands or even billions of eggs. If so, the longer the battlefield drags on, the more detrimental it will be to humanity.

Of course, there is no way to deal with it. Yue Yuan quickly reached the number of strong artificial intelligence that humans now have.

Nowadays, the strong artificial intelligence on the Nanhai is responsible for resource development and warship manufacturing on the 13th planet. In fact, whether it is the Nanhai, Donghai, Xihai, and Beihai, the strong artificial intelligence they carry originally only had military functions, and resources There is no expertise in developing warship manufacturing.

But it can’t stand up to the presence of Tianqin, the most complete artificial intelligence, and of course Yue Yuan’s highest authority authorization is indispensable.

The reason why the Nanhai is qualified for this job is because Yue Yuan has authorized the strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin to share this knowledge and experience with it. It can be said that as long as Yue Yuan is willing, he can let several other ships carry military-specific strong artificial intelligence and transform them into strong artificial intelligence that also takes into account mining and production.

In this way, humans can also develop multiple resources on other planets, and then use machines to manufacture machines, greatly increasing production capacity, and then directly surpassing the interstellar trading market in productivity.

That way, the war will be won.

It is better to pin your hopes on the other party's individual life and reproductive model that you don't know the details of. It is better to find a solution from the resources you have.

After understanding this, Yue Yuan already had the answer in his heart.

But now is not the time to implement it, because at this time, the fleets of both sides started a new round of confrontation. Humanity has 2.9 million battleships. The opponent still has 5.07 million, which is an advantage for humans no matter how you look at it.

If we really want to continue fighting in the stars, humanity has a great chance of winning.

Obviously, not only the human side saw this, but also the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame Civilization, so this new round of confrontation did not break out on a large scale like before.

After the fleet of the Red Flame Civilization discovered that the Tianqin had successfully broken out of the melee circle, it only pursued it for a while. After the vanguard encountered the two fleets coming to support the humans, they did not continue to advance, but consciously fired from a distance. , while slowing down, and then at the moment the Lyra completed its turn, it made a turn in the starry sky and headed towards their second planetary base.

Obviously, the Chiyan civilization knew that it could not gain an advantage in the starry sky, so it hid near the planet base for joint defense, trying to use various forts on the planet base for defense.

A very wise choice.

If humans enter planetary orbit to fight them, they will inevitably face attacks from planetary bases, even orbital forts, satellite defense bases and other defense facilities.

If it were in the past, with the current ratio of warships, humans would really not be afraid. But now among the 5.07 million warships, there are fully two million new warships, and humans cannot take risks.

After a while, looking at the fleet that broke away from the battle and gradually headed towards its planetary base, Yue Yuan understood that this war was really going to become a protracted war.

Without hesitation, he directly ordered the fleet to stop the pursuit, and then started the return journey.

"Then compare productivity!" Yue Yuan muttered after exiting the overclocking state, and then sent a command from the brain chip to let the computer bring up the star map. Then he looked at the star that had been bombarded by human orbit before. The twelfth planet.

Expand planetary bases, increase resource development, increase the number of shipyards, and speed up warship production efficiency.
