In space, the wreckage of star battleships and space fighter planes are everywhere.
"Captain, Commander Lu Li reports that Blazing Flame VII has been suppressed."
"How's it going with Qian Duoduo?"
"We have controlled two airports and currently have 37 large cargo ships and 7 medium-sized passenger ships secured, but there are some problems with the last airport."
"what happens?"
Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then asked.
It's just a second-level civilization, and it only has infantry and no heavy equipment. Why is it in trouble?
"According to Captain Qian's report, the Dort people in the last airport threaten to self-destruct as soon as we dare to attack. They will not surrender unless we promise to protect our lives."
"After all, there are three giant cargo ships and five large passenger ships in this airport, so..."
Well, these eight spaceships are related to whether they can pull away all the humans here at once.
No wonder Qian Duoduo is in trouble and stagnant.
However...
Is this the reason?
no!
So is this an unsolvable problem?
Neither!
On the contrary, this problem is too easy to solve!
"Tell Qian Duoduo that I can promise to protect the lives of all of them, but the condition is to surrender immediately."
"Yes, Captain!"
"By the way, let me tell him by the way, since I have promised to protect their lives, then he should stop messing around, otherwise I will have to lock him up for a day when he comes back!"
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, the communications officer was stunned.
What the hell?
Although it sounds like there is nothing wrong with this, and it seems like a warning to Qian Duoduo not to mess around, but in fact...
This means that if Qian Duoduo disobeys the order and kills those Dotte people, the punishment is to be imprisoned for a day?
My captain, are you warning Qian Duoduo not to mess around, or are you encouraging him to kill the Dote people?
You must know that human beings have no good impression of the four major civilizations and their subordinate civilizations. It can even be said that they want to eat their bones, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.
A day of confinement?
I'm afraid everyone is happy to accept this punishment...
The next moment, when Qian Duoduo received the latest order, he was stunned for a moment, but soon the corners of his mouth raised.
Or should my own captain know how to play?
"Brothers, send a message to the people inside. Our captain has said that as long as they put down their weapons and surrender, their lives will be guaranteed..."
------
ten minutes later.
"Captain, Captain Qian Duoduo reported that during the surrender process, because he failed to control his emotions, he accidentally killed all the Dotes. He also said that he had realized his mistake and voluntarily accepted the punishment of one day of confinement..."
When communications officer Bai Zhi said this, her face was indescribably weird.
"I know, tell him to report to the solitary room when he comes back."
"Yes, Captain!"
Jiang Xingchen ordered seriously, and Bai Zhi also responded seriously.
Fu Wanting, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes, but soon became serious again.
"Captain, this is the twelfth star system we have attacked in half a month. It's time for the four major civilizations to respond, right?"
"Well, after all, we have been deliberately exposed several times before. After seeing the battle star, it is impossible for them to have no reaction. The question is, what kind of reaction?"
"What kind of reaction? Shouldn't it be to assemble the main fleet and then enter the arm to hunt us?"
Fu Wanting was a little confused. Could there be other reactions besides this?
You know, if it was just a cruiser or destroyer, then they might really be indifferent, but the Star is a battle star...
For their four major civilizations, the two words Battle Star are definitely a thorn in the side that must be removed.
"If the Starry Sky Zerg hadn't escaped from the Death Nebula, they would have reacted this way, but that's not necessarily the case now."
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
"If you have studied the recent actions of the four major civilizations, you will find that they have no intention of sending any fleets to the Orion Arm. However, there is news that a large number of fleets of affiliated civilizations are gathering in the Galactic Center Channel and may enter at any time.
The possibility of wormholes.”
"So, what do you think is the reason for this?"
It has been a long time since the Starry Sky Zerg threw the Death Nebula and triggered a crisis.
However, the four major civilizations on the main spiral arm have no intention of mobilizing their fleets. On the contrary, their respective affiliated civilizations are mobilizing significantly.
Not enough troops?
It's impossible. Although the four major civilizations are not even half as strong as they were at their peak, each of them still has 20,000 to 30,000 warships.
As for dealing with the Starry Sky Zerg, even one or two thousand ships per family would be enough, and it would have little impact on their local troop deployment.
However, they did not take any action. They just summoned the affiliated civilizations under their command to form a coalition and assemble in the Galactic Center Channel.
why is that?
If you really want to guess the origin, I'm afraid this is only one possibility.
"Are they using the Starry Sky Zerg to consume the strength of the second- and third-level civilizations on the four main spiral arms?"
"Yes, other than that, I can't think of any other possibility."
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen nodded.
"But why?"
"Aren't those all their affiliated civilizations?"
Fu Wanting is still confused. After all, the strength of the subordinate civilization is part of the sect leader's civilization.
Doesn't weakening one's affiliated civilizations mean weakening one's own overall strength?
"You think too simplistically. Do you remember that in the previous academy, the instructors analyzed the reasons why the four major civilizations joined forces to destroy the Star Sea Federation?"
"Of course I remember. The instructor said at the time that it was because the galactic order led by the Star Sea Federation blocked their path to expansion, so...wait a minute, what do you mean?"
"That's right, ever since those civilizations watched the Federation's demise, they were doomed to their own demise."
Jiang Xingchen sighed slightly, nodded and said.
"The main reason why they can survive in the post-Federation era and form a new galactic order with the Four Giants as the lord and all other civilizations as subordinates is that although the Four Giants have captured the Star Sea Federation, they themselves are almost disabled.
Relationship."
"At that time, they did not have the strength to wipe out hundreds of thousands of second- and third-level civilizations. In fact, not to mention back then, even today, four hundred years later, they still have no absolute certainty."
"After all, there are hundreds of thousands of second- and third-level civilizations in the galaxy. Even if each civilization only has 100 battleships, that adds up to tens of millions of battleships, and the real number will only be more than this, much more!"
"Of course, as long as this development continues, in at most three to five hundred years, the four major civilizations will be able to end it all according to the original plan. However, the emergence of the Starry Sky Zerg has given them a glimpse of someone who can speed up the plan several times.
A century of opportunity.”
"So, the four major civilizations did not mobilize their own fleets, but assembled the fleets of affiliated civilizations, and did not send them to support the arm immediately, but waited..."
"Waiting for the troops on the Orion Arm to be depleted, maybe even waiting for the Star Zerg to become stronger!"
"Finally, after evaluating the strength of the Starry Sky Zerg, the affiliated civilization fleets on the four main spiral arms will be sent into the Orion Arm in batches."
"They must ensure that the troops they send cannot be stronger than the Starry Sky Zerg. They must use the same tactic as adding fuel to the army, boiling frogs in warm water to drain the blood of all affiliated civilizations."
"After doing all this, they can deploy heavy troops inside the Galactic Center Channel to guard the entrance of the wormhole. At the same time, they can take advantage of the vitality of the affiliated civilizations to kill them all. In the end, each family will monopolize all the main spiral arms.
Territory.”
hiss...
After listening to Jiang Xingchen's words, Fu Wanting discovered that there were so many twists and turns.
"So, even if they discover the Star, they will only regard us as the same as the Starry Sky Worm Mound, just a pawn to help them weaken the affiliated civilization?"
"That's right. If there are other reasons, if the four major civilizations send their fleets into the arm to hunt us, wouldn't it be unjustifiable if they don't participate in the battlefield over the Death Nebula afterwards?"
"That side of the Starry Sky Zerg..."
"I'm afraid that it is inevitable to be rushed out of the Death Nebula. You see, even if the coalition fleet has an advantage, the four major civilizations will do something to negate this advantage, and the final result will be.
..”
Jiang Xingchen did not continue, but Fu Wanting already understood.
finally...
The Starry Sky Zerg will definitely break through the siege and completely break out of the Death Nebula.
And once they rush out, the countless star systems and living planets outside will become nourishment for their evolution and mass reproduction.
It won't take long, let alone these subsidiary civilizations, even if the four major civilizations take action personally, it will be dangerous.
Therefore, we must take advantage of the time to frantically attack these star systems, especially those located within 300 light-years of the Death Nebula.
Try to rescue as many people as possible before the Starry Sky Zerg rushes out.
But there is also a problem here.
There are still hundreds of billions of humans on the Orion Arm. Even if it is possible to rescue everyone, the Canglan System cannot accommodate that many people.
According to calculations, the entire Canglan system can only house tens of billions of humans at most. No matter how many more...
How to solve this problem?
Involuntarily, Fu Wanting looked at Jiang Xingchen again.
Jiang Xingchen understood the doubts in her heart instantly.
"The Large Magellanic Cloud!"
What?
Large Magellanic Cloud?
Did you hear that right about the one 160,000 light-years away?
Even the Starship can only travel 800 light years through hyperspace at a time due to energy problems, right?
So, how to get to the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is 160,000 light-years away?
"Do you think it's impossible?"
"It's really impossible. Could it be that a wormhole leading to the Large Magellanic Cloud has been discovered?"
Fu Wanting asked doubtfully.
"No, it's not a wormhole, but the new energy source that Minister Liu Feng mentioned."
"Although he has spent hundreds of years, he still has no results. It can even be said that he can't understand it at all, but..."
"We have a finished product in our hands!"
"As long as this finished product is adapted to the Star, all difficulties will be solved."
"Of course, this is just the most effective one among several current options. As for whether it can be realized, we have to wait for the results from the scientific research institute."
What kind of new energy do we have?
Wait, could it be the energy source on the shuttle ship that I mentioned before?
But that's not for shuttle ships. Can it really afford a giant ship like the Star?
