Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 419 Change
The battle in space lasted for nearly 8 hours, until the natural collapse of this wormhole finally ended. Although the human race had the upper hand for more than 7 hours after the arrival of the reinforcements, the impact of the swarm's fearless death still shocked the human soldiers physically and mentally. exhausted, the consumption of ammunition supplies is huge.

Fortunately, the Sixth Ranger Fleet came in time and successfully rescued the first batch of more than 20 refugees, and successfully salvaged the battle cruiser that crashed on the Redstone planet.

The hull of the Shenyi class upgraded from the Minotaur class has been specially reinforced. This level of crash failed to destroy this meritorious warship.

The first wormhole defense battle came to a successful conclusion. According to post-war statistics, a total of one million Zergers were wiped out this time, which was a powerful counterattack against the swarms that attempted to invade the Sanctuary star cluster.

Although this worm may be a drop in the bucket for the entire swarm, it was a good start, gained a lot of military exploits, baptized the army, became familiar with the swarm's combat methods, and laid the foundation for subsequent battles.

The fleet returned to the voyage, and was seen by ships passing through the Qianyan galaxy and the Tianji galaxy. The onlookers were a little shocked. They had seen the appearance of these two fleets before they set off, which was very different from the dilapidated state at this moment.

Reminiscent of the missions of these two fleets, the culprit who caused the current situation is ready to emerge.

Zerg!

Zerg is so strong?

It turns out that the civilization of Tianji Star has not yet developed, and everyone's fights with the swarms are trivial. The impression may not be as deep as the frequent natural disasters. The limited number of insect disasters will comfort myself with "I haven't developed yet, and the future will last forever" .

Especially recently, the strength of all parties has been advancing by leaps and bounds, the fleet has also been established, and the technology has also been upgraded. I thought that facing the insect swarm would not be devastating?

But the situation in front of us is all telling human beings - don't underestimate this group!

Zerg's potential is by no means inferior to that of humans, and their background is even farther away from the humans of the Sanctuary Star Cluster. The only advantage of humans now is the shelter built by their ancestors, which isolates most of the swarms from the outside.

Once the Sanctuary Star Cluster falls, the human race will have no choice but to retreat to the subspace other than a desperate battle!

Lu Feng doesn't know if the Empire and the Vigels have a subspace,

However, as the back route of Shentang Sanctuary, the Creation Space has an unparalleled attraction to humans from other forces outside. Outsiders are absolutely unwilling to look at Lu Feng's face to pray for shelter, so the reality of the Creation Space cannot be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it will be forcibly plundered by the two major local forces.

In the next week, Shentang vigorously strengthened the signal control within the base camp to prevent any leakage of internal information.

At the same time, each production unit is at full capacity to supply the combat needs of the 6 ranger fleets, and continuously optimizes and upgrades the existing ships based on the data collected on the battlefield, making the two types of warships, the Shenyi class and the Aegis class, approaching perfection. More and more classic design meaning.

At the same time, after several discussions, the Joint Defense Headquarters reached a consensus on the internal propaganda and education of various forces.

The new resolution decides that the human civilization of Tianji Star is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, and the burden of fighting the catastrophe should be shared by all human beings, instead of being irresponsibly handed over to a few powerful people.

This led to three changes:
First, to relax the intelligence control of ordinary people to the greatest extent, so that the non-military population can understand who the future enemy of mankind is, what its weaknesses are, and how to escape or fight back, even if it may cause panic. .

Second, it is mandatory to modify the brain-computer interface of all citizens and install monitoring chips. At the cost of depriving citizens of some privacy, information monitoring is carried out on all residents of Tianji Star, and all unstable factors are obliterated in advance.

The controversy over this change is huge. Except for Shentang, which has the strongest cohesion and order, and the Shiva sect, the theocratic force, all other democratic forces have erupted in protests and demonstrations. Humans become slaves to their rulers.

In fact, special brain-computer implants can indeed control human thoughts, but in terms of cost, instead of manufacturing expensive control chips, it is more convenient to manipulate public opinion through propaganda.

But the public will not believe you. The officials are big pigs, trying to entrap the interests of the poor all day long. This kind of argument is very convincing in the officials of the Dawn Colony with rich criminal records. After all, those capitalists in the Earth Age really did this. Pass.

Although there is a high probability that they still intend to do so now, you cannot deny that installing brain machines and monitoring chips can curb the emergence of hidden dangers in society, prevent society from being infiltrated by lurking void aliens, and greatly speed up the people's learning of new skills. Speed, and even direct delivery of combat implants and weapons when needed, turning civilians into militias.

All kinds of benefits are obvious during the war, and as the price of stability in the rear, the violation of some human rights is acceptable.

Of course, Shentang Sanctuary is managed by the three major AIs, which greatly avoids the abuse of supervisory power and has almost no impact on the daily life of residents.

As for the few forces without AI, they can only look at the integrity of their management. It is not for nothing to say that they will kill themselves if they do many injustices. Don wouldn't mind taking over the faction forcefully.

This was the threat Lu Feng made at the meeting, barely able to make the eating of those ruling classes less ugly.

Change must go on,

So that night, a large number of troops appeared on the streets of the colonies, and a large number of sterilized insect specimens were placed in the most conspicuous positions of the residential areas, with hideous and lifelike faces.

Many residents have never seen the Zerg with their own eyes, and they are somewhat skeptical of the official Zerg threat, thinking that it is an official means to force them to submit.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. When they saw a real bug and experienced their own insignificance under the huge claws, many people's attitudes changed immediately.

Maybe the official way of doing it is right?

I heard that the brain-computer can learn new skills efficiently, which can not only improve the quality of life, but also add a means of self-protection. Isn't it unacceptable to use a little privacy in communication?

In this way, the most difficult part of the reform has ushered in a turning point. At least there will be no more large-scale conflicts. The follow-up direction depends on whether the governments can appease the people and fulfill their promises.

The third change is for the next campaign mode.

The previous resolution also said that the rise and fall of the world cannot be entrusted to a small group of people, and every individual human being in it has the right and obligation to participate.

Specifically for the people at the bottom, it is to enhance the vision, ability and awareness of ordinary people.

And for the higher-ups, you can't just focus on yourself when fighting in the Tang Dynasty. Although everyone is weaker, you can't live up to your fiery hearts, right~
So you Shentang should bring everyone to fight together like you did with Shenzhou.

To put it simply, the three parties left behind have a sense of crisis and want to take the initiative to attack in exchange for results in order to improve their strength.

Lu Feng originally planned to let them guard the family. After all, the fleets in the hands of the three families are really not enough, and the combat power is worrying.

However, this time the wormhole attack and defense battle exposed the problem of insufficient manpower. A ranger fleet is so difficult when facing a small wormhole. A number of Ranger fleets were added to the battle.

The five ranger fleets are still a little short, and more ranger fleets will be expanded in the future to deal with the crisis. Absorbing the three parties into the ranger fleet is indeed a choice.

So Lu Feng agreed in principle to the three families' requests to join the war, but they could not use their own broken ships, but had to rent the Shenyi and Aegis provided by Shentang.

Because it was leased, Lu Feng did not castrate the performance of these ships, but installed a lot of backdoors and communication control modules.

According to the agreement, the three companies will send elite sailors to receive these leased warships, and then organize them into each ranger fleet to participate in the battle with a single ship as a unit, gain military exploits, and feed back to the family.

Because these leased warships are commanded by three factions during the battle, the battle merits will be calculated by the oracle to each faction.

In this way, the three families can send troops to participate in the war to help humans destroy the Zerg in exchange for military exploits, and they will not do anything outside, and they are always under Shentang's control.

After Shentang's war machine is activated, as time goes by, warships are no longer an obstacle restricting the expansion of the fleet, but personnel and logistics are.

The addition of the three major forces not only solved the problem of personnel, but also provided experienced crew members. They also promised to join Shentang's logistics system, which greatly enhanced Shentang's logistics capabilities.

Lu Feng has been conducting the clone trade with Ivan, and Ivan needs military exploits to exchange for clone warriors. Therefore, the number of warships rented by the North Wind Alliance will be the sum of the other two, and they have to endure their opinions.

In addition, Lu Feng also ordered scientific research to speed up the evaluation of the feasibility of robot soldiers, mainly in terms of combat intelligence.

Once the evaluation is passed, the robots will replace one-third of the human fighters on the ship. If the technology is further matured, the ratio of the human crew to the robot crew of the Shentang battleship will reach 1:2, or even more.

On the ground battlefield full of dangers, the number of human marines will also be reduced, and more intelligent weapons will be used in the war of attrition against the swarm.

It sounds promising, but the premise of all this is that the robot must be reliable. The more extreme the environment, the less reliable the machine is. Lu Feng doesn't want these iron lumps to drag the whole ship's people to be buried with him.

This change lasted for a full month, during which wormholes appeared five more times, the first four were small kilometer-level wormholes, which could be suppressed stably by relying on a single ranger fleet after experience.

There was also a 10-kilometer medium-sized wormhole that appeared. The situation was very critical. A total of 3 ranger fleets and 1 main fleet were assembled to finally contain it, but the bad news is that this wormhole was exhausted after its energy In the end, it didn't close completely, but fell into a dormant state.

This major hidden danger is worrying Shen Tang's senior management. It is not an option to drag most of the fleet here. Once there are problems in other places and the troops are not mobilized in time, it will cause fatal loopholes.

Finally, after discussion, Lu Feng decided to move the newly built interstellar fortress in the Qianyan galaxy, and use the space of creation to transit. Even if the fortress has almost no mobility, it can be blocked at the entrance of the dormant wormhole. Usually the fleet is at home, so defense should not be a problem.

Qianyan Fortress is a huge metal sphere with a diameter of 9 kilometers. It was first created by the Marsh family of the Empire, and then upgraded and subsequently manufactured by Shentang scientists combined with oracle technology.

When the Marsh family designed this fortress, they fully considered their own ambitions and the richness of the Qianyan galaxy's resources. This is how this metal satellite was born.

Under normal circumstances, the external structure of the interstellar fortress will be designed according to the internal facilities planned to be installed and the expected functions. There is no gravity and wind resistance in space. Unnecessary waste of space.

But like Shentang, building a complete metal satellite is obviously thankless.

Not only is the construction difficult and requires astronomical resources, but the huge bombed area greatly increases the difficulty of protection. At the same time, the weapon system is not easy to place, and the artificial gravity is not easy to arrange...

If there are any benefits, the most obvious one is - strong!
Extraordinarily strong!
If this spherical structure design has no hidden dangers, it will be the most stable and sturdy of all structures.

Unless it explodes from the inside, or suffers an attack far beyond its ability to bear from the outside, it will not be able to cause fatal damage to this metal ball.

After the shield fails, the surface may be plowed over and over again by enemy attacks, but the inside is still extremely safe, allowing the fleet to dock safely and rely on the internal fleet and weapons hidden under the armor to fight back.

Of course, if it was just like this, Lu Feng would not approve of such a wasteful design.

The main reason is still - this thing can be built into a miracle!
He has already seen it from the wonder store. There is a wonder named [Death Star], which can be called a super weapon that can destroy the world.

However, the real Death Star is more than 160 kilometers in diameter and is a real metallic satellite.

And his is just a little trouble, only less than 10 kilometers, at best it is a technical verification version, if you are lucky, you can create a spectacle yourself, but it is not a loss.

At present, most of Shentang's advanced technologies are assembled in Qianyan Fortress, so that the completion rate of the shell is only 70%, and more than half of the internal equipment is not installed in place, barely able to be put into use.

But even so, its power can still suppress a medium-sized wormhole.

Shentang scientists equipped it with the most advanced S-class antimatter reactor and experimental antimatter cannon, the latest large-scale force field shield, polarized armor layer covering the entire surface of the fortress, and reserved phase array slots.

Some of these are technologies that Shentang is experimenting with, and some are technologies that are planned to be acquired in the future. The Academy of Sciences even reserved a hyperspace core slot for it.

One can imagine what kind of powerful existence this big guy will be once it is truly completed.
