Taking advantage of this period of downtime, a large number of soldiers and engineers came and went to maintain damaged parts. After many weapons were overloaded, parts needed to be replaced, and some cooling liquids needed to be temporarily produced, etc.
In the captain's room of the Future, the military team and high-level government officials were holding a post-war analysis.
"Judging from the current situation, the opponent's spaceship queue is determined to shrink. They are all surrounding the metal planet. The farthest spacecraft is only one astronomical unit. It will not give us the possibility of defeating each one..."
"...for that paralyzed flagship, there has been no large spaceship to rescue it. There are a few small spaceships. Do we have to continue to wait?"
"Sigh, it's not cost-effective to use super-light missiles."
The New Humanity's "surrounding the corpses and rescuing" tactics did not achieve particularly great success, and they did not have large flagships to foolishly rescue them.
Of course, there are still rescue forces, but they are just a group of small spacecraft with poor performance.
"They are not stupid... It would not be economical for us to use super-light speed missiles to bomb some small spaceships. Besides, these rescue spaceships should be dominated by lizard troops, so it doesn't matter even if they are killed." One of them said
Experts said: "Coupled with the fact that our antimatter reserves have declined massively..."
"To sum up, the use of expensive anti-matter missiles is not recommended."
Yu Yifeng nodded and did not speak immediately.
In this war, the large consumption of antimatter made him feel quite troubled. This thing is the most powerful combat power of the new humanity. Whether it is photon torpedoes or antimatter cannons, they must be used.
If it is really used up, the future's firepower will be greatly reduced.
"...Use ion cannons or lasers to bomb a few shots from a distance. We can't let them rescue so smoothly..." After a while, he said again.
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss the next tactics, including how to fight, how to set up the artificial intelligence of the spacecraft, etc...
At this time, the astronomical observatory seemed to have made another important discovery and sent several photos directly to the screen in the captain's room.
An expert pointed to a photo, coughed, and said solemnly: "Everyone, just now, we observed the departure of these enemy spacecraft!"
"These medium-sized spaceships are not junk spacecraft of the lizard puppet army, but orthodox troops. After they left the main force, they quickly entered a state of super-light speed. Because the distance was too far, we did not launch an attack."
"...In this direction, we suspect that it is calling for reinforcements!" The expert drew a route on the photo with his finger. "Whether it is calling for reinforcements or from the perspective of rescuing tens of millions of lizardmen,
Our speed needs to be as fast as possible! Try to end the war within two months."
"Reinforcements!" Yu Yifeng's heart skipped a beat. This was another piece of not-so-good news.
The entire conference room suddenly became quiet.
Now, there is no good opportunity to fight guerrillas. In this situation of transparent information, the two sides can only fight head-on at close range.
Can new humanity bear such a price?
In other words, how much price is the new humanity willing to pay in exchange for a victory?
After a while, Yu Yifeng frowned and said: "I don't think we need to worry too much about the reinforcements for the time being. Space navigation, at least based on years, cannot arrive in a few months. I don't believe it.
There happens to be a large number of reinforcements near this planet... There are already quite a few troops entrenched here."
"It's just that if we want to save so many lizards, we really need to solve it within two months. Otherwise, the Antek civilization will know that we are the 'enlighteners' among the lizard people, and then there will be a lot of trouble."
Even so, a question still arises in people's minds: fight or flee?
An iron barrel formation was set up on the opposite side, and the entire fleet was constantly changing speed. A long-distance sneak attack of more than one light minute would be difficult to succeed again; some drones sent by the enemy had also appeared near the Future, which meant that
, even mining here is unlikely to consume anything.
There are only two final options: first, fight a decisive battle at close range as soon as possible.
Second, run away and give up this plan.
"Can we win a decisive battle? How many people will die?"
"We've already started a war, why should we give up halfway?"
After calming down, the senior executives frowned and thought about this issue.
For a civilization, the contribution must be proportional to the benefit. This benefit can be short-term or long-term, but it must not be ignored, and it will be taken up when the head is hot.
Blindly fighting to the last soldier, even if you win, is a fluke and definitely an irresponsible behavior.
"Now, this problem has been put before us, we must make a choice." Yu Yifeng tapped his fingers on the table and said.
"If we really seize this planetary spacecraft and save a large number of lizards, it will of course be the best result. The new human civilization will benefit the most, and it will also increase the chance of survival in the war between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens."
"If we just run away in despair, at least we can preserve our current strength. But the LLP Silicon Alliance has an extra planetary spacecraft, and maybe... it will become our enemy in the future."
"Excluding the unknown strength of the planetary spacecraft, in terms of apparent strength, we are indeed stronger than our opponents."
A model data is displayed on the screen. If the metal planet has almost no combat effectiveness, all the spacecraft of the new humanity will be deployed, including the Future, Deep Space, Earth, Mars and a large number of "Titan" spacecraft stored inside, with 80
With a winning rate of more than %, directly defeat the opponent!
Yu Yifeng said solemnly: "Of course, this winning rate is based on the fact that the metal planet has no combat effectiveness..."
"Now let's look at the neutrino monitoring report of the metallic planet."
There was a buzz in the conference room, with opinions in favor and objections. In this situation where it was necessary to decide the fate ahead, everyone was hesitant.
One of the experts stood up and said: "I don't believe it for the moment. That battle star has no armed equipment at all. We must first discuss it based on the worst case scenario."
"Moreover, the opponent should also have such a war simulation system. The opponent is not a fool. If the simulation analysis shows that there is a high probability that their defense will fail, will they still hold on like this? Impossible! Therefore, the opponent must have a back-up plan!"
Another professor stood up and retorted: "That's because... they greatly underestimated our strength. They didn't know that our flagship can be separated and that we also have a large number of combat spacecraft stored inside. So they underestimated us."
"We don't know the other party's true combat power! What we see is only the apparent combat power."
"I think the opponent's back-up plan is most likely this metal planet."
According to computer simulation results, the higher the combat effectiveness of the metal planet, the lower the New Humanity's winning rate will be.
Some people are even thinking about other ways to increase the winning rate of new humans. For example, using nanobugs, large-yield hydrogen bombs, etc. But the premise of these weapons is that they need to hit the opponent. If they can really hit, antimatter will definitely be more powerful.
Simple and effective…
"If we really want to attack planetary spacecraft, we still have to rely on simple and crude hydrogen bombs."
"...During the battle, it seemed too obvious to deliberately avoid the ring-shaped spaceship where the lizards lived. How to protect those lizards?"
If a full-scale decisive battle does occur, many details are bothering many people here.
During the discussion, Yu Yifeng suddenly had an idea and thought of a wonderful plan.
"Genetic weapons...lizards...wallfacers..."
This thought made his head spin faster and faster, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through: "It doesn't have to be a head-on battle!"
"If there are still lizards on that metal planet who are willing to take refuge, can they be... the deadliest spies for a while?"
"At least for now, due to time constraints, the Antec civilization is still unaware of the war that took place over the planet Nyx. In other words, they did not associate the new humans with the lizards. There were even some lizard puppet troops who participated
The rescue of the paralyzed flagship just now also illustrates this point."
"The other party has not thought for the moment that the lizard man might switch sides."
"Genetic weapons!"
According to Yu Yifeng's idea, the new human scientists must develop a genetic virus specifically to deal with the mantis as soon as possible! Then let the lizard spies secretly throw the virus into the metal planet.
The biological and chemical prevention and control of a battle star must be very strict. Conventional biological and chemical weapons will be directly physically killed or physically isolated.
But if a high-ranking lizard spy were to operate it, would it increase the feasibility?
The planetary spaceship was partly built by Lizard, so it's impossible that he doesn't have any authority at all, right?
If this plan goes smoothly, it will eliminate a large number of the opponent's active forces on the metal planet and will not have any impact on various equipment.
"It's really possible!"
Yu Yifeng suddenly stood up...
When he revealed this genetic weapon plan, the entire conference room almost boiled. This may be... the closest the new humans have come to victory.
These think tank members talked to each other and wanted to add details. Several of the biologists were already making sure that they could complete it within a month. They had already studied the somatic cells of mantises and some natural viruses.
Now that we have it, it's time to show off the new human's life technology.
But even so, this plan is still full of difficulties, including how to transmit the virus, how to get the "wall-facers" to cooperate, etc.
In particular, are there any lizard people who are willing to make a series of sacrifices for the sake of the whole...
When you are a spy, the risks must be extremely high...
