章 187: Chapter 187: Mysterious Firepower
Half a year after Yan Xia made his decision.
Three locations were indeed breached, and Yan Xia continuously analyzed the combat information from Chu. The conclusion was that while the ship's officers were at fault, the real reason lay with the Xi Ming.
In each engagement, the overwhelming numerical advantage seemed to favor the ship's officers, but they were defeated every time.
The information they provided was, "The enemy's firepower is too intense!"
Ridiculous. With an absolute numerical advantage, how could they claim that the enemy's firepower was stronger?
But this wasn't just a one-time occurrence in a battle; in every engagement, the number of Xi Ming battleships was clearly small, but their firepower was formidable.
Yan Xia was searching for the reason.
While studying these materials, he was also trying to locate the hidden Xi Ming battleships.
But there were none.
In every piece of information received, there was an excessive number of battleships.
This was also because the fast quantum communication equipment couldn't transmit images of such large objects, so they could only understand the battlefield situation through calls, which wasn't detailed enough.
This was what troubled Yan Xia the most at the moment.
Now, he wanted the Xi Ming Federation to enter the high-dimensional era directly and completely control the high-dimensional space. In that case, fast quantum communication would become a mature and widespread communication technology.
But this was just a fantasy.
"Xi Ming has fewer battleships but possesses formidable firepower."
"If this were a common occurrence, it would be understandable, but no similar situation has been found on any of their battlefields. It's only in these three locations."
Yan Xia was so worried that he was pulling his hair out.
Fortunately, the quark robots could directly control hair growth, but his head was already bald.
"Yan Xia, the three locations have been breached, and the enemy is advancing towards the three major galaxy systems. It's estimated that they will reach there in 60 to 70 years. If we consider other factors, these Xi Ming battleships will launch an attack on the three major stars outside the three galaxy systems, and this time will be shortened to 50 years."
Ella's report emphasized the urgency of the current situation.
Fifty years seemed like a long time.
But it also depended on the task at hand.
If you were asked to deliver a package to a higher floor within 50 years, it would be easy. If you were asked to write 5,000 essays within 50 years, it would be a bit more challenging. And if you were tasked with building a city in 50 years, it would be even more difficult.
The tasks were different, and so was the sense of urgency.
For the current battlefield, 50 years was not actually a very long time.
"Hmm, approximately how many citizens are there in the three galaxy systems?" Yan Xia asked.
Ella reported, "The number of citizens with citizenship is 132.8 billion."
What a massive undertaking.
"There shouldn't be that many spaceships in the galaxy systems. In 50 years, we can make at most three trips, which means we need to transfer over 40 billion citizens each time."
"We should implant specific engineering technology into all the robots and cyborgs in these galaxy systems and have them modify the Dyson clouds. The Dyson sources are originally energy storage devices, which can be easily converted into spaceships to carry away some citizens."
"Then, assign missions to the surrounding explorers, asking them to participate in transferring these citizens. Set generous rewards. Some explorers may collaborate with interstellar pirates to engage in smuggling activities, so we must monitor them closely and prevent such incidents."
In fact, the citizen transfer had already started half a year ago. The past six months were just the initial mobilization phase, deciding when and where to start, and organizing the process to create some necessary chaos.
Many spaceships and battleships were also clearing out unnecessary items and expanding their transport space. These preparations had taken as long as half a year.
"Secondly, we should dispatch battleships to block them."
"At the same time, we should probe these Xi Ming to understand their exact scale, how they hide their battleships, and where this unknown firepower comes from?"
These were the concerns that troubled Yan Xia the most.
If they didn't understand it now, they would face the same problem when encountering the main Xi Ming forces later, and it wouldn't be as simple as losing a few galaxy systems.
...
Tianlian Battleship.
The battle between Lu Liyan and Xi Ming was coming to an end.
"Ship's officers, the order from above is not to engage with the Xi Ming remnants. We should prepare to leave."
The person below conveyed this information because they had already missed the scheduled time. Logically, they should have departed half a month ago, but due to Lu Liyan, the battleship hadn't moved an inch.
"I admire the commander for thinking of Xi Ming's purpose. His breadth of vision is beyond imagination."
"The decision to rendezvous is correct, but I don't think it's entirely correct."
Lu Liyan made this decision not because he wanted to destroy all of Xi Ming's battleships but because he noticed something.
"It's true that Xi Ming's battleships are decreasing. We launched an attack two months ago, intending to capture Xi Ming, but our assault was blocked."
"Do you remember this?"
The officer on the other end of the communication paused, then said, "Wasn't that because we were too eager for success, allowing Xi Ming to expand the depth of their battle lines, enabling them to exert long-term constraints with a small number of battleships, causing our offensive to fail?"
"We didn't suffer any losses in that battle, and afterward, Xi Ming mainly engaged in harassment without seeking to attack."
Lu Liyan spoke up, "Absolutely not!"
"It's not entirely like that."
"Although the host's analysis result is like this, there are still anomalies."
"At a certain moment, the firepower of a group of Xi Ming battleships increased by 200%, repelling our offensive on the battlefield."
"Since they are individual battleships in a large-scale war, it's not significant, so we didn't pay attention. But these anomalies are not limited to one. When they converge, they can play a decisive role in the battlefield."
After that battle, Lu Liyan couldn't sleep at night.
He wondered, if some Xi Ming battleships could suddenly burst out with 300% combat power, why didn't they do it before?
This was obviously abnormal, as they had lost so many battleships.
But if you thought about it from another perspective, even if they lost so many battleships, the things they wanted to hide must be extremely terrifying. Lu Liyan couldn't convince himself to leave before finding the answer.
Xi Ming must have a deep conspiracy, and this conspiracy would affect the entire battle situation.
He had a vague premonition that if they were to converge in a galaxy system, that place might become their graveyard...
"Could the three losing battlefields be related to this?"
"What if the problem isn't with a small number of Xi Ming battleships but with all of their battleships?"
Countless thoughts raced through Lu Liyan's mind, but he couldn't grasp the critical information.
Perhaps...
Perhaps he had to go to the battlefield himself to find the answer.
