The reports of Xue Qiang and Ling Ruoxuan gave everyone present a strong shock.
At this time, Lu Weiming stood up again.
"Everyone, through the statements made by Minister Xue and Dean Ling just now, I believe that everyone should already have a certain understanding of the ghost race."
"I would like to add here that whether it is the elves or other civilizations in the Large Magellanic Galaxy, they all have a common feature, that is, the population is very sparse, usually only 300 to 500 million, and at most no more than 300 million.
It will be over a billion."
"The main reason for this is the regular harvest of ghosts that occurs once every ten thousand years."
"So, taking Queen Ilsa's power as an example, the 68 civilizations within her hunting range have a population of about 30 billion."
"And we humans... are close to 500 billion!"
"Can you understand what this means?"
"It means an unprecedented and abundant hunting ground for ghosts!"
hiss...
Everyone who heard this took a deep breath.
Do ghosts voluntarily go into hibernation for thousands of years?
No, it was because there was not enough food and it had to go into hibernation.
Therefore, the issue here returns to what Lu Weiming originally said.
It can take as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years. As long as human beings continue to develop, they will eventually encounter ghosts and cannot avoid them.
Rather than being discovered due to natural development, it is better to take the initiative and defend the enemy from outside the territory.
Give an example.
If we fight ghosts now, will they know that humans are here and have a population of nearly 500 billion?
cannot!
because...
Humans are more than two thousand light years away, right?
Even if the ghost searches the outside world for 500 or 1,000 light years, can it find traces of humans?
Obviously still can't!
But what if ten years later, after the human territory has expanded to thousands or even two thousand light years, we naturally encounter ghosts?
Sorry, they can definitely come along the human territory.
Of course, you could say hide, hide until the ghosts go dormant again, and then humans start to expand.
In this case, when the ghosts wake up again after ten thousand years, human technology will be able to crush them.
This is true, but there are also two problems here.
One is that according to what is currently known, every time a ghost wakes up, it will last for more than a hundred years. It will not start to sleep again until there is not enough food and the life spirit is not enough to continue to support it.
In this way, could it be that the Federation has been hiding for hundreds of years without developing?
The other is that, according to the Federation's original plan, it is necessary to recruit a group of qualified affiliated civilizations in the Large Magellanic Cloud, absorb their technology, and also use them to quickly develop galaxies for the Federation.
After hundreds of years of wreaking havoc by ghosts are over, let’s not talk about technology. Let’s just talk about the population. More than 90% of the population has been reduced and these civilizations have returned to the primitive era. Do you expect them to help the Federation develop the galaxy?
Isn't this nonsense?
"Ahem, actually, you don't have to worry too much."
After giving everyone some time to think, Lu Weiming spoke again.
"Although the early awakening of the ghosts was caused by us taking the initiative to attack three of their warships and capturing eight ghost prisoners, but..."
"As far as we know so far, the spiritual level induction held by the ghost is not for the entire race, but only for the same queen's force!"
"in other words..."
"Currently, except for Queen Sarna's forces, the rest of the ghost forces are still dormant and will not fully awaken until a year and a half later!"
"Can you understand what this means on a military level?"
Um?
Hearing this, many people were stunned for a moment, and then a touch of surprise appeared on their faces.
Although most of the people here are not from the military and do not know much military knowledge, they can still understand what Lu Weiming said.
This means that the Federation can kill Queen Sarna's force without alerting other forces.
Not only that, after killing Sarna, the Federation even went to find the second and third ghost forces, and while the other ghosts were dormant, they woke them up one by one and killed them one by one.
In the end, a large amount of the ghost's vitality was eliminated before the ghost fully awakened.
For example, if the ghost now has a hundred queens, the federation will wake up one of them, and then wake up the second one after killing this one.
By analogy, before the remaining queen wakes up naturally, the safety of 2,000 or even 3,000 light-years around the Federation is ensured.
this...
You can have it!
"Commander Lu, tell me the specific plan!"
In the main seat, Su He pondered for a moment and then said.
"President, the military department's plan is..."
------
The long meeting is finally over.
On the matter of ghosts, most of the top federal officials also had a unified opinion.
Finally, under the leadership of the Military Department, three plans were formulated.
The first is the shipbuilding plan.
The original four types of destroyers and patrol ships will continue to be built, but no new production lines will be added.
In contrast, the Federation will vigorously promote the mass production of Zhurong-class general-purpose battleships and hyperspace engines.
Strive to complete the construction of 500 Zhurong-class battleships, 30 Xingtian-class battleships, 80 Houyi-class cruisers, 150 Wuluo-class destroyers, and 1,000 Qingluan-class frigates, a total of 1,760 battleships before the ghost fully awakens.
Among these battleships, all Zhurong, Xingtian and Houyi class battleships will be given priority to be equipped with the first fleet.
At the same time, the destroyers and frigates of the first fleet will be replaced bit by bit and assigned to other fleets for use.
The newly built 1,150 destroyers and frigates will not be allocated to the First Fleet, but will be divided equally among other fleets.
In short, the First Fleet will be built by the Federation, the first fleet that can fully combat Level 4 civilizations.
Next, the second one is the ghost search plan.
For now, the Federation has only come into contact with the power of Queen Sarna among the ghosts.
As for where the other forces are and how many troops they have, these federations have no idea.
Therefore, the military headquarters will disperse all the second to tenth fleets.
Not in the form of a fleet, but in the form of a single ship.
Their mission is very simple. They go to their respective assigned star systems, but in order to avoid accidentally awakening ghosts, they do not enter them.
Just like when the First Fleet discovered the Ghost Battleship before, just throw a whole detector into it.
To put it simply, it is to completely disperse the troops and conduct rapid exploration in the form of a net.
Finally, the third one is the battle plan of the First Fleet.
While the fleets under Sarna's command are still wreaking havoc in various star systems, they want to fill their stomachs first.
Take the initiative, before the ghost can fully react...
Destroy them one by one in the shortest time!
At the same time, the Academy of Sciences expressed the hope that Jiang Xingchen would capture Queen Sarna if possible.
This will help the Federation obtain more information about ghosts from her.
After all, too little is known about the eight people arrested before...
After taking care of Queen Sarna, the military department will determine the next target for the Queen's forces based on the search results of the remaining fleets.
Repeatedly, annihilating one ghost force after another until...
A year and a half later, until the entire ghost clan naturally wakes up!
