Voyage of the Stars

Each of these planets has complete mining facilities, providing sufficient resources for various shipbuilding bases in the interstellar trading market. It also provides production for the living individuals living on the satellites of the gaseous planets in the second orbit. Materials for means of production.

Originally, the Tenth Planet and the Eleventh Planet, these two solid planets were also well-equipped resource mining planets. However, after the defeat in the first battle, the interstellar trading market directly withdrew its defense forces from these two planets and moved All infrastructure that could not be taken away was blown up.

This happened when humans arrived on the thirteenth planet for supplies. Therefore, humans have no time to stop it and have no intention to stop it.

From another perspective, this incident also tells mankind that the enemy has not yet failed, or is not willing to fail. The act of destroying two planetary resource development sites shows that the interstellar trading market does not intend to completely hand over these two planets to humans, which shows that they are still accumulating strength in other planetary bases and continue to fight against humans.

In the previous war, the interstellar trading market suffered heavy losses. The warships it put into the battlefield, including the nine million pirate-style warships, totaled 33 million. When the battle was over and evacuated, there were only about 11.33 million warships, and nearly two-thirds were lost.

On the human side, there are three fleets with a total of 17 million ships. As of now, there are only 1.6 million ships left in the First Fleet, 3.08 million ships in the Second Fleet, and 3.5 million ships in the Third Fleet, leaving only 8.18 million ships.

Many battleships are still battle-damaged versions.

Just like the Tianqin, the flagship of the First Fleet, and the Hanhai, the flagship of the Second Fleet, the armor has been completely scorched black, with pits everywhere, and the traces of nano-repair are extremely obvious.

The flagship of the Third Fleet, the Deep Sea, is better, but it won't be able to fight again in a short time.

Therefore, after the several battles that took place in different places, although the number of human warships has appeared to be worthy of the interstellar trading market, it will be difficult to do so again in just a few years.

Of course, it is still possible to piece together a complete fleet from these battleships, and humans are already doing this when resupplying.

Since the damage to the flagship of the Third Fleet, the Deep Sea, was minimal, this patchwork... oh no, it should be a reorganized fleet, and its flagship is the Deep Sea. For this reason, the Deep Sea was given priority in the dock repair arrangements.

There are approximately 4.2 million fleets that can be reorganized after re-extracting intact warships, and the remaining warships must undergo armor repairs.

Yes, that's right, armor repair.

During the battle, although these warships used nano-repair to repair the large holes that were blown away or decomposed by the opponent's nano-robots, the places filled by the nano-repair robots were not made of No. 2 alloy material, so the armor repair here, It is necessary to replace these damaged areas with No. 2 alloy material again in the space dock.

Tianqin also faces such maintenance.

During the maintenance period of these battleships, the reorganized Third Fleet will take on the task of protecting them. Protect humanity's thirteenth planet base and ensure that humans can produce and maintain warships here.

Although the interstellar trading market side was also crippled, from the intelligence point of view, it was only their apparent strength. They should still have a lot of strength at various bases.

However, humans speculated that the reason why they did not come out in full force was because they were afraid that humans and other fleets would raid their bases.

At least when the Third Fleet raided their first planet base, they noticed that there was a huge fleet on the interstellar trading market side of the gas planet in the orbit of the second planet.

Because it was discovered that its third, fourth, and fifth bases were on the satellite of the gas planet, humans speculated that that fleet should be the fleet guarding the core area of ​​the interstellar trading market.

The spacecraft carrying the neutrino detector tried to get close there several times, but was discovered and killed by the opponent's small ship patrol formation. Therefore, humans still know very little about the number of warships in that star field.

However, we also got a certain piece of information, that is, that area is the core area of ​​the interstellar trading market, and most of their living individuals live in those three bases, or live in several satellites of the gaseous planet. above.

From the analysis of the number of their manned warships, the number of intelligent life individuals there is at least hundreds of billions. Because according to human understanding, without this size, they would never be able to produce so many manned warships.

Therefore, mankind's next battle plan will be launched with this star field as the core. Well, of course after the battleship maintenance and repairs are completed and partially replenished.

The current stage is the inter-war period.

According to the progress of the battleship repair, this time will last at least five to ten years. During this period, humans will not just defend. They will still activate batches of detection spacecraft to detect various planets in this galaxy to collect more enemy data.

In addition, after the battleship Nanhai completed its repairs, the Deep Sea also led some warships of the Third Fleet out to harass the opponent's sixth planet base.

The sixth planet base in the interstellar trading market is a base capable of manufacturing sea-class warships. It is located in the orbit of the ninth planet. At this point in time, it happens to be the base closest to the location of humans, so it naturally becomes a harassment attack by humans. The best goal.

Similarly, when humans launched small-scale harassment and attacks on it, the interstellar trading market side also adopted the same strategy, triggering a battleship fleet of one million battleships to carry out harassment and attacks on the thirteenth planet of mankind.

The main fleets of both sides have calmed down, and there will not be another large-scale war like the previous one in the future, but the battle of squadrons harassing each other is going on all the time.

The detection spacecraft of both sides have fought more than once in this star galaxy. However, because the human detection spacecraft is controlled by an intelligent program and the other side is driven by intelligent life, when it comes to the detection spacecraft fighting, the human side has completely fallen into the trap. Downwind.

It can be said that during the period when both sides were maintaining their main fleets and producing new warships, there were ships fighting everywhere in this star system with the bright yellow dwarf as the main sequence star.

These battles between squadrons of battleships and detection spacecraft are the epitome of the war between two civilizations.

If a second-level civilization comes here at this time because of the original interstellar trading market broadcast, then this second-level civilization is likely to be submerged in these peripheral battles.

Now that the first powerful collision between the two sides has ended, the next step will be to see who has the stronger ability to repair and maintain warships, and who has greater productivity and can produce more warships in the shortest time.

After the two sides failed to eliminate each other in the first contact, the next thing to compete was productivity.

Of course, it is also important to master the number of planets, because the more planets you have, the greater the breadth of resource extraction. To put it simply, the input of resources is larger, which can meet the needs of more space docks being started at the same time.

Humans do not have an advantage at this point. After all, humans have only mastered one fully developed planet so far.

In order to alleviate this gap, humans also made some strategic measures during this period. For example, engineering ships are dispatched to explore and exploit the resources of the twelfth planet.

Such actions naturally attracted interference from the interstellar trading market, so small-scale battleship operations became more frequent. These battles are equivalent to battles between scouts and special forces on both sides.

During this period of time, regardless of whether the planet has been developed or not, dozens or hundreds of battleships can be seen passing through the nearby starry sky every once in a while. These battleship teams are either from the interstellar trading market or from humans. Both sides When they meet, they fight without saying anything.
