Astraion did not respond to Soshiyan's question because he didn't know what the other party would say. In fact, the Inquisition had always had various speculations on the genetic seed issue of the Minotao Chapter, but due to the authority of the High Lord's Council, these speculations have never been implemented to the point of investigation.
But the problem is that it will not disappear because of ignorance. Of course, Astraion doesn't care so much about reputation, but he still doesn't want to mention it.
"Ah, I said some useless things, please don't care. Since I'm here, let the judges briefly talk about the current situation."
Soshyan gave up the topic, and then Scarman and others began to introduce to Minotao the process and situation of the bloody 100-day Olps and the severe situation facing the star zone at the moment.
During this period, Astraion only listened silently, and only asked questions occasionally. After twenty minutes, the introduction ended.
Astraion looked at Soshyan and asked only one question.
"What are you going to fight?"
His tone was still low and calm, but this question revealed his true thoughts - the severity of the situation was far beyond his expectations, and so was the enemy's strength.
"Stay true to Amara and wait for labor."
"So sure they will come?"
"A judge died not long ago because he was implanted with spy equipment by aliens. If they did not intend to attack, they would not have been so complicated. They did not come to occupy the planet, but to kill humans. Amara gathered so many troops, which is undoubtedly the most valuable target - for aliens."
"Specific tactics."
"Jumping the gang."
"How to jump to help?"
Soshyan then briefly explained his super-scale jumping tactics, and Astraion shook his head after hearing this.
"I don't understand, why is this?"
"The alien ships have an overwhelming advantage in performance, especially their flagships. We do not have any warships to fight against, but the existing Astartes are not enough to complete the jump mission, so a large number of troops need to be sent over."
"They have many ships?"
"According to the existing war records, there are not many, or even very few."
After a moment of silence, Astraion shook his head.
"I don't agree. This tactic is both cowardly and inefficient. The empire's cannon ship is not afraid of any aliens, and human technology is not inferior to any aliens. It just doesn't take such a big effort to jump to the gang. Astat is enough to complete the task."
Astraion's words mean something to be an official, but they are undoubtedly "correct". If Soshiyan directly refutes, then his position will not be tenable.
But he did not choose to respond directly, but asked:
"My good comrade-in-arms, you don't believe that the Mechanical Cultivator's research and analysis of alien ships, I can understand that because you have never fought with such aliens. Let's do this, I will conduct a simulated battle with you, you command all the fleet of Amara, and I will use one-fifth of the alien ships on your side. How about it? If you think you win, then this battle is commanded by you, and I will never complain."
"Oh? What kind of simulation method?"
Then Soshyan took him to the tactical room of the Randall, while others were waiting outside because they were related to a confidential device and he did not intend to let too many people know about it.
When you enter the tactical room, you can see a giant tactical instrument with a diameter of more than 50 meters. Although the appearance looks no different from the tactical instruments of the Mechanical Society, it is a real fire technology inside.
"I have wiped out a group of space undead in Ekvoria. The sages of the Mechanical Cultivation Society recorded a whole battle and collected a large number of wreckage and data from a large number of alien ships. There are two types of their small ships, named Jackal and Elegy class. The sages are classified as attack ships, and they are classified as frigates. There are two types of their medium-sized warships, one is named Scythe class and the other is named Shield class. The sages believe that they are independent ships, collectively called harvesters, but here they are counted as cruisers first, and their flagships, at this time, the few battleships that the Empire has witnessed so far do not exceed the level of battleships and can be comparable to the legendary Queen of Glory. Their quantified data are here, not necessarily prepared, but they are all calculated through comparison with human ships during battle, especially speed and defense capabilities."
Looking at the pictures and data that appeared in front of him, Astraion kept waving his head, as if he was browsing carefully. After about ten minutes, he said slowly:
"Why are you bringing out such detailed research results now?"
"I am not easy to participate in the mechanical memorial service, nor can I interfere with it."
"There are digital quantizations of firepower, speed, maneuvering, defense, and even shields...this level...is not something that ordinary contemplators can operate."
"Ha, I don't know much about technology. If you are interested in this aspect, you can discuss it privately with the sages. I usually call this thing... Gothic."
"Hmph, Goth? What are you sarcastic about that again? I have no problem, and then how to simulate it?"
"This is all the ships in the Amara area now."
In a moment, a star map appeared, which was the Amara Galaxy and various defense facilities. Then a large number of ships appeared in front of Astraion.
"Their values ​​refer to the most standard construction process, and they do not consider the service life and combat readiness issues at all. A brand new fleet, the Orps fleet originally had 4 battleships, and then several squadrons were reinforced from outside the star zone. Together with the Mars Battlecruiser of the Star Knight, there are 7 battleships in total, and there are currently 63 cruisers of various types and 478 small ships. Ah, the fleet of Minotao is not counted... So in this way, the combat barges will be based on a more conventional configuration, with a total of 4 ships. The strike cruisers are also deployed according to the standard Pioneer-class. Is there no problem?"
Seeing more than a dozen ships in front of him, Astrayon suddenly asked:
"What about this one under your feet?"
"Since the Empire does not have standard data on the warship, it cannot be simulated, so just treat it as...the reserve team."
"If you can't bear to bear it, just say it, no problem, what about you?"
With a wave of Soshiyang, more than a hundred warships with crescent shapes appeared in front of him.
"I only need 2 grave ships, 20 harvest ships, and the rest are attack ships."
After saying that, the lights in the tactical room suddenly dimmed, including one-third of the star map. Only Amara's star map was still glowing, illuminating Astraion's armor. On Soshiyan's side, there seemed to be only a small lamp emitting a faint green light under his feet, illuminating his face wearing a helmet, making him look like a fearful overlord.
"You can't see my deployment, and I can't see your deployment, so let's start, you have five minutes to set the initial position of the fleet."
Chapter completed!
