"Based on the position coordinates of this detector, we judge that mechanical civilization will arrive in the galaxy where 51 Pegasus is located in another six months.

Yes, it's much ahead of schedule."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, the dozen or so commanders of the Ninth Army sitting side by side across from him all showed surprised expressions.

At the Planetary Defense Council, Chu Ge just announced the [War of the New Era] in front of the global parliamentarians. The specific content was to go to Pegasus to fight an ambush.

After the assembly order was issued, the officers of the Ninth Legion only thought that they were going to get familiar with the combat system. After all, there were still several years before the mechanical civilization fleet arrived there.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ge gave them a big surprise here.

"Commander, how many battleships have come from the mechanical civilization? Now that we can take photos of their battleships, can we analyze the opponent's combat effectiveness?"

Chief of Staff Victor finally spoke, and he asked a question that all the other high-ranking officials of the legion wanted to ask.

"There are 19,110 large and small ships, which is more than twice our number! As for the performance of battleships, I have asked the Mars Research Institute to merge with the Military Research Institute, the Interstellar Weapon Technology Research and Development Center, and the Black Armor Legion Equipment Center for joint research.

I believe they will give us an accurate assessment soon.

Here, I can only tell you that the core equipment is not much different from the Black Armor Legion, but they don't seem to pursue refinement.

While ensuring advanced core equipment, they pursue quantity more, and their development path is different from ours. I wonder if this is the result of the birth of fleet civilization.

Another point is that reconnaissance photos show that many warships in this fleet are scarred. It is obvious that they still experienced a lot of battles even during the long journey.

This means that they have rich combat experience, which may put us at a disadvantage!"

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Chief of Staff Victor was stunned on the spot. Among the three main comparison indicators: equipment technology, number of battleships, and combat experience, the Human Alliance actually lost two.

The indicator that didn't lose was only slightly better, or even better said to be a tie.

This [Battle of the New Era] seems to have been half lost before it even started...

"What is more beneficial to us is that the opponent's nearly 20,000 warships are mostly small and medium-sized warships. If there is a single round of main warships, the opponent's number may not be as large as the black armored army.

Their main force is a formation of frigates and destroyers of less than 500,000 tons, and some highly maneuverable unmanned combat airships and unmanned aircraft.

So now I can answer General Rodriguez's question. The Ninth Army is fully capable of this task.

Because the combat power of your warships is not much different than that of your opponent, you can deploy against the opponent's assault group and use the small size and maneuverability of your warships to conduct harassment operations against them!

Most importantly, your intensive anti-aircraft firepower can effectively weaken their drones."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Rodriguez nodded heavily. After such a round of encouragement from Da Dutong, his blood was boiling and he wished he could lead the Ninth Legion to fight against the fleet of mechanical civilization.

After that, Rodriguez reported to Chu Ge in detail the Ninth Army's fleet configuration, the firepower combination of the defensive circle, and some strategies and tactics.

Unconsciously, most of the day passed like this. Finally, the Ninth Legion left in a hurry under the leadership of Rodriguez. They returned to Earth directly without even drinking water.

For them, being summoned this time has gained a lot, and they are anxious to go back and summon the next-level commanders to continue studying the [War of the New Era]...

"Putting them at the end of the entire army seems to be a bit too caring for them." Commander Wang looked at the backs of Rodriguez and others and said leisurely.

"Don't be suspicious of people, don't be suspicious of people when you employ them. Now that they have been incorporated into the Ninth Legion, they will be a unit after they go to the battlefield. I will not give up the troops easily to protect the commander!"

What's more, their warships don't have large defensive shields, so it's simply not enough to hit them in front, which will only increase casualties.

It might work wonders if you put it behind you and wait for a fierce battle!"

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he smiled slightly. An increasingly clear battle plan had been formed in his mind. He felt that he could give it a go...

Three days later, when the entire Mars entered a white-hot preparation stage, Chu Ge's lord hall welcomed several special guests.

They were technology research and development personnel headed by Naga and Yan Tianhao. Chu Ge knew their purpose of coming here when he saw them.

After summoning the senior commanders of all legions, everyone walked into the meeting hall.

"Although the Black Armored Legion has entered an unprecedented state of concentration, we are all waiting for the results of your research.

The military prepared detailed combat plans for the [War of the New Era], and even conducted a space version of the war game no less than 20 times.

However, these deductions lack a necessary reference condition, which may lead to greatly increased inaccuracy in the entire results.

This reference condition is the reverse research you have been conducting non-stop these days on the photos returned by the detector.

Naga Main Courtyard, thank you for your hard work!"

After everyone arrived, Chu Ge's opening remarks began. He first affirmed the researchers' efforts and laid out today's theme.

When Commander Wang and others heard that it was the evaluation results of the mechanical civilization fleet, they instantly became energetic.

This was equivalent to the intelligence collection work done before the war between the two countries. It was also the most direct first-hand information from overhead reconnaissance satellites. These military commanders pricked their ears.

"Lord, you're welcome. It's considered satisfactory that I can make this contribution to the black-armored fleet even though I'm dying. Tianhao, come and reveal the answer to everyone!" ωωw..net

With Naga's instructions, Yan Tianhao stood up and loaded the data module in his hand into the host computer of the holographic display system.

Soon, some segmented pictures of battleships and corresponding evaluation results appeared in front of everyone.

“Based on the appearance, we will focus our research on the following aspects: armor system, power system, weapon system and fleet communication and search system.

These systems cover almost all the important systems that make up a battleship's combat effectiveness, so we predict that the combat effectiveness we derive based on this should reach 80% of its actual combat effectiveness.

The most important remaining part is its intelligent control system, which is difficult to evaluate based on its appearance. In order to achieve a certain extreme effect, we increased its function proportion accordingly.

In fact, according to the combat effectiveness of the Black Armored Legion, the highest proportion of intelligent control systems is about 15%..."

After Yan Tianhao finished summarizing, the holographic wall like a long scroll painting instantly changed its content, and the words "ARMOR SYSTEM" appeared on it.

Next are dozens of photos from different angles, which show the details of the battleship's armor from all angles.
Chapter completed!
