Roland was also affected by this and lost his mobility for a while.
However, this time is not long, only more than ten seconds.
A large amount of scattered energy has been gathered together again, and gradually restored its human form.
For a life form of pure energy, conventional attack methods are absolutely impossible to kill it. At most, it can only make it temporarily incapacitated.
However, in this short period of time, all warships' jump engine faults were eliminated and they successfully left.
Of course, they did not leave in the same direction, but jumped in different directions according to the original plan.
This will increase the number of warships that will eventually escape completely.
After all, even if leap technology is developed to its extreme, it cannot escape an iron law.
That is...
The limit of a single jump is ten light years.
In the end, after losing more than 20 warships in one hour, we finally received no more news about being overtaken by the gods.
That is to say...
They escaped from the tracking range of the god.
The last statistic.
The fleet lost one god-killing ship, the Zhurong II general-purpose battleship. In addition, it also lost one battleship, two cruisers, seven destroyers, and fifty-two frigates.
There are a total of sixty-three warships, accounting for almost 60% of the fleet.
This is just the beginning.
In the next hour, nine more rebel fleets operating in the Andis domain were attacked.
Three of them were even completely destroyed, and not a single battleship could escape.
Even the fleet with the best intelligence lost more than forty battleships.
This was the first time that the rebels fought head-on with the gods.
The whole process adds up to only two hours.
But in just these two hours, three rebel fleets were destroyed, and seven other fleets were severely damaged, with a total loss of more than 800 warships.
Under this situation, the Andis branch of the resistance naturally ordered a suspension of operations, with all fleets hiding and waiting for the next order.
And at the same time.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the rebels also passed all the battle information of the ten fleets to the Federation.
Therefore, how the so-called gods fight was directly presented to a higher level.
------
"President, judging from the information we have obtained, energy weapons are more effective than space weapons in dealing with these so-called gods."
In the conference room, Gao Tianyang said with a strange expression.
This is really weird. Space weapons have almost no effect on it. On the contrary, energy weapons, especially large-scale energy raging, can restrict its actions for a short period of time.
Is it possible that the federal fleet will return to the era of energy weapons?
"What about the Academy of Sciences' analysis?"
After listening to the military report, Su He turned to look at the people from the Academy of Sciences.
"President, the reason why this situation occurs is mainly because the other party is a pure energy life form."
"The mainstream space weapons currently used by our fleet are space cutting and space penetration."
"Take space cutting as an example. This technology is indeed very powerful and can achieve the effect of cutting everything, but..."
"If this cut is made on an ordinary creature, it can naturally kill it instantly, but the opponent is in the form of energy and has no flesh and blood."
"In other words, you can regard those so-called gods as entities without entities, similar to elements. Naturally, they cannot be killed by cutting through space."
"For example, if you use a knife to chop an animal, and if you use the same knife to look at the air, the result will naturally be different."
Listening to Chu Yanxi's metaphor, everyone also had a clearer concept of those gods.
That's right, since it has no entity, it naturally cannot be killed.
Although it is outrageous, it is true.
"Does the Science Ministry have any countermeasures?"
"There are currently three possible countermeasures."
"Tell me about it."
Hearing this, Su He's eyes lit up.
There are already three possible countermeasures?
"The first is what we discussed before, using the time bubble to completely seal the other party for thousands of years, until the federation develops to a higher level of civilization, and then find a complete solution."
In the conference room, everyone nodded slightly.
That's right, this is what the military is currently preparing, the Sealing of the Gods Plan.
"The second type is to use space collapse cannons to strike. Although those gods have no entity and are completely in the form of pure energy, fundamentally speaking, they are still the basic composition of space particles that cannot escape."
"However, we currently know too little about this life form to determine whether they have the ability to, in turn, use the phenomenon of collapse and aggregation to absorb the original energy of the universe, that is, dark energy."
"After all, everyone knows that the essence of space particles is dark energy."
At this time, many people frowned.
Indeed, this is most likely a solution.
But as Chu Yanxi said, the Federation still knows too little about these gods. If something goes wrong...
Not only will it not solve the problem, it may even make these gods more powerful.
No, this solution is not advisable!
At least until we fully understand the capabilities of this life form, it is not advisable!
"The third option is to starve them to death!"
"Everyone knows that no matter what life form it is, as long as it exists, it will consume energy and also need to replenish energy. This is a law that all life cannot escape."
"Just like us humans, and most of life, we rely on eating to replenish energy."
"Although these so-called gods have gotten rid of their bodies, it does not mean that they do not need to consume energy. On the contrary, the energy they consume and need to replenish is far greater than that of ordinary creatures."
"Otherwise, the entire Small Magellanic Cloud, with so many civilizations tied together, would only support 98 so-called gods."
"Of these three options, the second is not currently advisable, at least not yet. The first and third options are now integrated into the Gods' Seal Plan."
"Therefore, the Ministry of Science's suggestion is that the Sealing of the Gods Project is still the best option at the moment."
After Chu Yanxi finished speaking, she sat back.
Others also began to ponder.
Originally, many people had thoughts after seeing the information sent by the resistance army.
Is the Sealing of the Gods Plan the best method?
Is there a better way to deal with it than this plan?
But now after listening to Chu Yanxi's words, it seems that she still thinks too much.
"In this case, we will increase our assistance to the Masar Resistance Army, let them completely sweep through all ten star fields as soon as possible, and complete the first phase of the Gods' Sealing Plan as quickly as possible."
After thinking for a moment.
Su He opened his mouth and made the final decision.
------
Although it was decided at the meeting to increase assistance to the rebels.
However, based on the calculation of 20,000 battleships in each star field, we want to completely achieve the expected goal of the first phase.
The Federation must provide at least 200,000 warships to the rebels.
It would not be difficult if there were two or three years for the Federation's interstellar industry to be fully productive.
But it is impossible to complete it in a short time.
You know, there is a reason why the military is extremely supportive of this plan.
because...
According to this aid plan, the first and second batches of aid will all use warships from the defense fleet and guard fleet.
As a result, the two fleets just took this opportunity to complete the change of equipment.
Everyone is happy.
But, the current two batches of support have been sent, that is, after 40,000 warships of various types have been sent.
Whether it is the two major fleets currently in service or the inventory within the federation reserved for other affiliated civilizations to be exchanged for points, they will be completely exhausted.
Therefore, the third to tenth batches will all depend on production.
As I said just now, if it takes two or three years, this will not be a problem at all.
But at the meeting, senior officials decided to complete the entire aid plan within a year.
This scared a lot of people.
After all, how is it possible to increase production several times in a short period of time?
However, late in that meeting, a presidential staff member proposed an eye-catching plan.
Right now...
Outsource!
Yes, it’s outsourcing!
Of course, not everything is outsourced.
Rather, it is partially outsourced.
Based on the resistance forces' several battles with gods, this aide discovered a problem.
That is...
The battleships used for assistance do not need to be manufactured according to federal standards at all, but a castrated version can be produced.
Doing so can also significantly reduce federal production time and costs.
For example, from the Qingluan-class frigate to the Xingtian-class battleship, according to federal standards, the shells and armor of all battleships are processed using the foreleg of the war bugs from the Starry Sky Zerg as the basic material.
With this kind of design, in the period of the fourth-order civilization, even if the shield collapsed, the battleship shell and armor made of this material could usually withstand several attacks.
Especially in the battle against Zerg, the effect is even more obvious.
Therefore, although the cost is high and processing is difficult, the federation still does it.
After all, talents are the most precious to the Federation.
But with the current situation at Masar, is it necessary?
Not seeing other gods is like walking through a wall, directly ignoring the hull armor of the battleship?
Therefore, the hulls of the warships provided to the rebels can be made of ordinary materials.
In this way, if there are no special materials that need to be kept secret, the battleship hull can be directly outsourced to those third-order civilizations for manufacturing.
And the Federation...
All you need to do is produce other equipment on the battleship and finally outfit it.
Even the jump engine can be outsourced for production.
After all, this thing is only the technology of the third-order civilization, although as far as the third-order civilization is concerned, it is definitely technologically inferior to the Federation.
But what if the Federation directly gives them stronger jump technology?
You know, this technology federation has been obsolete for many years.
So, if the Federation asks an affiliated civilization, I will give you the most advanced jump technology, and you don’t need to spend any money to redeem it. As long as you get the technology, you can help us produce 20,000 to 30,000 jump engines.
Do you want to do it or not?
this...
Whoever doesn't do it is a fool, okay?
How many resources does it cost to have 20,000 to 30,000 jump engines?
And if you use points to redeem them on an affiliated civilization platform, how many resources do you have to use to get enough points?
Therefore, as long as the Federation uses this method, it can outsource the production tasks of the jump engine to a group of third-order civilizations.
Even...
You don’t even have to pay a penny, and those affiliated civilizations will rush to work for you in vain.
Therefore, the final analysis was carried out by the battleship design department.
Good guy, the hull of the battleship and about 70% of its components can actually be solved through this outsourcing method.
Even among the remaining 30% of components, a large part can be outsourced to the fourth-order civilization of the Triangulum Galaxy...
Blue Eyes Civilization.
Finished it like this...
In the end, the Federation actually...
It only needs to produce less than 10% of the components and complete the final assembly and outfitting work.
Compared with the original construction plan, after outsourcing, the federal cost dropped by more than 80%.
The production speed has increased by 285%.
Okay, everyone is a little confused.
How can you still do this?
Speaking of which, is this considered the OEM industry in the interstellar era?
Moreover, it is a completely blood-sucking OEM.
In the home star era, the Federation had established a large number of sweatshops...
