Knocking wonders from the space station

The battle in space lasted for nearly 8 hours, and it was not until the natural collapse of the wormhole that it finally ended. Although the human race had the upper hand for more than 7 hours after the reinforcements arrived, the impact of the swarm's fearless death still left human warriors physically and mentally shaken.

We are all exhausted and consume a huge amount of ammunition supplies.

Fortunately, the Sixth Ranger Fleet arrived in time, successfully rescued the first batch of more than 200,000 refugees, and successfully salvaged the battlecruiser that crashed on the Red Stone Planet.

The hull of the Shenyi class, upgraded from the Minotaur class, has been specially reinforced. A crash of this magnitude could not destroy this meritorious battleship. After being towed back to the Tiangong orbital dock, it was repaired and made like new again.

The first wormhole defense battle came to a successful conclusion. According to post-war statistics, a total of one million Zerg were wiped out this time, which was a powerful counterattack against the swarm of Zerg that attempted to invade the Sanctuary Star Cluster.

Although this small number of bugs may be a drop in the bucket for the entire insect swarm, it finally made a good start, gained a lot of military exploits, and baptized the army, becoming familiar with the combat methods of the insect swarm, laying the foundation for subsequent battles.

The fleet returned home and was seen by ships passing by the Qianyan Galaxy and the Tianji Galaxy. The bystanders were a little shocked. They had seen the appearance of these two fleets before they set off, which was very different from the dilapidated state they were in now.

When we think about the missions of these two fleets, the culprit of the situation before us can be easily revealed.

Zerg!

Are the Zerg so powerful?

It turns out that the Tianji civilization has not developed yet, and everyone's fights with the insect swarms are just small fights. The impression may not be as profound as the frequent natural disasters. The limited number of insect disasters will comfort themselves with "I haven't developed yet, and the future is long."

.

Especially since the strength of all parties has been advancing by leaps and bounds recently, fleets have been established, and technology has also improved. Isn't it going to be overwhelming in the face of the insect swarm?

But the situation in front of us tells mankind - don't underestimate this ethnic group!

The potential of the Zerg race is by no means worse than that of humans, and their background is far behind the humans of the Sanctuary Star Cluster. The only advantage that humans have now is that they have the shelter built by their ancestors, which isolates most of the insect swarms from the outside.

Once the Sanctuary Star Cluster is lost, humanity will have no other choice but to retreat to the subspace, other than a desperate fight!

Lu Feng doesn’t know if the empire and the Vegel people have subspace.

However, the Creation Space, as the escape route for the Shen Tang Sanctuary, has an unparalleled attraction for humans from other forces outside. Outsiders are absolutely unwilling to look at Lu Feng’s face and pray for shelter, so the reality of the Creation Space cannot be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary.

, otherwise it will be plundered by the two major local forces.

In the next week, Shentang vigorously strengthened signal control within the base camp to prevent any leakage of internal information.

At the same time, all production units are operating at full capacity to fully supply the combat needs of the six ranger fleets. Based on the data collected on the battlefield, they are constantly optimizing and upgrading existing ships, making the two types of Shenyi-class and Aegis-class warships closer to perfection.

It’s becoming more and more like a classic design.

At the same time, the Joint Defense Headquarters reached a consensus on publicity and education within each force after several discussions.

The new resolution determines that human civilization on Tianji Planet is encountering an unprecedented catastrophe, and the burden of fighting the catastrophe should be borne by all humans, rather than being irresponsibly handed over to a few strong ones.

This led to three changes:

First, relax the intelligence control on ordinary people to the maximum extent, so that non-military people can also understand who the future enemies of mankind are, what their weaknesses are, and how they can escape or fight back, even if it may cause panic.

.

Second, all citizens must be forced to undergo brain-computer interface modifications and install monitoring chips, at the expense of depriving citizens of some of their privacy, and conduct information monitoring on all Skyrim residents to eliminate all unstable factors in advance.

This change is very controversial. Except for Shen Tang, who has the strongest cohesion and order, and the theocratic force Shiva, all other democratic forces have erupted in protests and demonstrations. They are afraid of the terrifying brain-computer modification, believing that it will

Humans become slaves to their rulers.

In fact, special brain-computer implants can indeed control human thoughts, but in terms of cost, it is more convenient to manipulate public opinion through propaganda than to manufacture expensive control chips.

But the people won’t believe you. The officials are just big pigs who try every means to harm the interests of the poor people all day long. This argument is very convincing to the Dawn Colony officials who have rich criminal records. After all, those capitalists in the earth era really did this.

Pass.

Although they most likely still plan this way, you can't deny that installing brain computers and surveillance chips can curb the emergence of hidden dangers in society, prevent society from being infiltrated by lurking void aliens, and can also greatly speed up people's learning of new skills.

Speed, and can even directly issue combat implants and weapons when needed, turning civilians into militiamen.

Various benefits are obvious during wartime. As the price of stability on the rear, infringement of some human rights is acceptable.

Of course, Shentang Asylum is managed by three major AIs, which greatly avoids the abuse of supervisory power and has almost no impact on the daily lives of residents.

The several forces that do not have AI can only look at the integrity of their management. It is not for nothing that those who do evil will be killed. If any company really has a huge scandal and triggers social unrest, what will happen to the company?

Don wouldn't mind taking over the force forcefully.

This was the threat Lu Feng had made at the meeting, which was barely enough to make the ruling class look less ugly.

Change must go on,

So that night, a large number of troops appeared on the streets of each colony, and a large number of sterilized insect specimens were placed in the most conspicuous locations in residential areas. Their faces were ferocious and lifelike.

Many residents have never seen the Zerg with their own eyes and are somewhat skeptical of the official propaganda of the Zerg threat, believing that it is a means by the authorities to force them to submit.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. After seeing real bugs with their own eyes and experiencing their own insignificance under the huge claws, many people's attitudes immediately changed.

Maybe the official approach is right?

I heard that brain computers can learn new skills efficiently, which can not only improve the quality of life, but also add a means of self-protection. Doesn’t it seem unacceptable to use a little privacy in communication?

In this way, the most difficult aspect of change has turned around. At least large-scale conflicts will no longer break out. The subsequent direction depends on whether each government can appease the people and fulfill its promises.

The third change is for the next campaign mode.

The previous resolution also said that the rise and fall of the world cannot be left to a small group of people. Every human being has the right and obligation to participate.

Specifically for the people at the bottom, it is to enhance the vision, ability and awareness of the common people.

As for the higher-ups, you Shen Tang can’t just focus on yourself in future fights. Although everyone is less powerful, you can’t live up to your ardent hearts, right~

So you, Shen Tang, should lead everyone to fight together just like you led Shenzhou.

To put it simply, the three parties left behind have developed a sense of crisis and want to take the initiative to gain victory in order to increase their strength.

Lu Feng originally planned to let them defend his home. After all, the fleets in the hands of the three families were really not enough, and their combat power was worrying.

But this time the wormhole offensive and defensive battle exposed the problem of insufficient manpower. A ranger fleet was so struggling when facing a small wormhole. Once the wormhole expanded, in addition to sending the main fleet to support, the only option was

Multiple additional ranger fleets were sent to join the battle.

The five ranger fleets are still a bit too few, and more ranger fleets will need to be expanded in the future to cope with the crisis. Absorbing three parties into the ranger fleet is indeed an option.

So Lu Feng agreed in principle to the three families' request to participate in the war, but he could not use their own broken ships. Instead, he had to rent the Shenyi-class and Aegis-class ships provided by Shentang.

Because they were leased, Lu Feng did not modify the performance of these ships, but installed many backdoors and communication control modules.

In the agreement, the three companies will send elite crews to receive these leased warships, and then use individual ships as units to join the battle fleets, gain military exploits, and feed them back to their families.

Because these leased battleships are commanded by three factions during the battle, the battle merits will be calculated by the oracle and awarded to each faction.

In this way, the three families can send troops to participate in the war to help humans eliminate the Zerg in exchange for military exploits, but they will not cause any trouble outside and will always be under the control of Shentang.

After Shentang's war machine was launched, as time went by, battleships were no longer the obstacle to fleet expansion, but personnel and logistics were.

The joining of the three major forces not only solved the personnel problem and provided experienced crew members, but also promised to join Shentang's logistics system, which greatly enhanced Shentang's logistics capabilities.

Lu Feng has been conducting clone trade with Yin Wan. Yin Wan needs military merit to exchange for clone warriors. Therefore, the number of warships leased by the Beifong Alliance will be the sum of the other two companies combined. They have to tolerate their objections.

In addition, Lu Feng also ordered scientific research to speed up the evaluation of the feasibility of robot soldiers, mainly in terms of combat intelligence.

Once the evaluation is passed, robots will be put on the ship to replace one-third of the human fighters. If the technology matures further, the ratio of human crews to robot crews on the Shentang battleship will reach 1:2, or even more.

On the dangerous ground battlefield, the number of human marines will also be reduced, and more intelligent weapons will be used in the war of attrition against the insect swarms.

It sounds promising, but the premise of all this is that the robot must be reliable. The more extreme the environment, the less reliable the machine is than humans. Lu Feng does not want these iron lumps to drag the entire ship with them.

This transformation lasted for a full month, during which time wormholes appeared five more times. The first four were small wormholes at the kilometer level. With experience, they could be suppressed stably by a single ranger fleet.

Another time, a 10-kilometer-level medium-sized wormhole appeared. The situation was very critical that time. It took a total of 3 ranger fleets and 1 main fleet to finally contain it. But the bad news is that this wormhole ran out of energy.

In the end, it didn't shut down completely, but fell into dormancy.

This major hidden danger has worried Shentang's senior management. It is not an option to drag most of the fleet here. Once problems arise elsewhere and the troops are not mobilized in time, it will cause fatal loopholes.

After final discussion, Lu Feng decided to move the newly built interstellar fortress in the Qianyan Galaxy there, using the creation space for transit. Even if the fortress has almost no mobility, it can still block the entrance to the dormant wormhole, leaving the Qianyan Galaxy to the remaining fleet for defense.

Normally the fleet is at home, so defense should not be a problem.

Qianyan Fortress is a huge metal sphere with a diameter of 9 kilometers. It was created by the Marsh family of the Empire and was later upgraded and subsequently manufactured by Shentang scientists combined with Oracle technology.

When the Marsh family designed this fortress, they fully considered their own ambitions and the abundance of resources in the Qianyan Galaxy, and this was how the metal satellite was born.

Under normal circumstances, the outer structure of an interstellar fortress will be designed based on the planned internal facilities and expected functions. There is no gravity and wind resistance in space. The fortress shell can be built in any shape you want. This can greatly save the material of the shell and avoid

Unnecessary waste of space.

But like Shen Tang, building a complete metal satellite is obviously thankless.

Not only is the construction difficult and requires astronomical amounts of resources, but the huge bomb area greatly increases the difficulty of protection. At the same time, the weapon system is not easy to place, and artificial gravity is also difficult to deploy...

As for the benefits, the most obvious one is - strong!

Extraordinarily strong!

If there are no hidden dangers in this spherical structural design, it will be the most stable and sturdy of all structures.

Unless it explodes from the inside or suffers an external attack far beyond its ability to withstand, it will not be able to cause fatal damage to this metal ball.

After the shield fails, the surface may be plowed over and over again by enemy attacks, but the interior is extremely safe, allowing the fleet to dock safely and rely on the internal fleet and weapons hidden under the armor to fight back.

Of course, if it were just like this, Lu Feng would not approve such a design that wastes people and money.

The main reason is still - this thing can create wonders!

He had already taken a look at the wonders store. There was a wonder named [Death Star], which could be called a super weapon that could destroy the world.

However, the real Death Star is more than 160 kilometers in diameter and is a real metal satellite.

And his is just a small trip that is less than 10 kilometers away. It is a technical verification version at best. If you are lucky, you can create your own miracle, but it is not a loss.

Currently, Qianyan Fortress has gathered most of Shen Tang Ju's advanced technologies, so that the shell completion rate is only 70%, and more than half of the internal equipment has not been installed in place, barely able to be put into use.

But even so, its power can still suppress a medium-sized wormhole.

Shentang scientists equipped it with the most advanced S-class antimatter reactor and experimental antimatter cannon, the latest large force field shield, a polarized armor layer covering the entire fortress surface, and reserved phase array slots.

Some of these are technologies that Shen Tang is experimenting with, and some are technologies that are planned to be acquired in the future. The Academy of Sciences has even reserved a hyperspace core slot for it.

You can imagine how powerful this big thing will be once it is completed.
