Chapter 507 Prepare for war, prepare for war!
The click, click of footsteps echoed around the edge of the Sherman Empire Palace Hall, and gradually increased in frequency.
Daphne almost rushed to the conference room.
New Ori was defeated.
The Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was completely wiped out.
A dreadnought was captured by the Fallen Alliance.
Daphne can completely understand how much influence this incident reported by the military department will have on the empire.
This matter is so serious that His Majesty the Emperor has left his throne and opened the empire's highest combat command center, which has not been used for several years, which is the small conference room in front of him.
The guard pushed open the alloy door, and Daphne entered the somewhat dark room. She saw several familiar old people, and they all used projectors to participate in the meeting.
The stereoscopic projection is playing the last scene of the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet before losing contact.
Stars spew out beams of hot ions;
The ships of the Luofeng Alliance appeared on the display interface of the global radar one by one;
Without any hesitation or any notification, the opponent fired a salvo and opened fire. The ill-prepared Imperial fleet was completely beaten and was unable to fight back.
boom!
An old man smashed the tea cup in his hand directly on the table, causing the stereoscopic projection to shake.
"How dare they!"
"The Luofeng Alliance is humiliating us! This is humiliating us!"
The old emperor's expression was as gloomy as water, and he frowned: "When did our fleet become so fragile?"
"It is the violent activity of stars that causes the components of some of our older ships, mainly those large ships, to stop working for self-protection."
"This is an integrated battle group! Even if they face an enemy twice their size, how can they not survive for two galaxies?"
"Their firepower is really intense."
A general said hurriedly:
"According to preliminary analysis of the data we obtained, the energy released by the opponent's fleet in an instant has reached two full battle groups with dreadnoughts.
"In fact, we have captured more than 6,200 Luofeng Alliance ships, and most of them are 500-meter to 800-meter-class star cruisers, and 1,200-meter to 1,200-meter-class star cruisers.
A 1,600-meter-class battleship.
"Their number of heavy battleships is not as large as this temporarily reorganized Sixth Expeditionary Fleet.
"But one thing we noticed is that they have a large number of transport ships and supply ships, and they have released a large number of drone swarms. These drone swarms... seem to be the key to our dreadnought being captured by the opponent."
An old man asked: "Drone swarm combat method? Isn't this a combat method that has been eliminated by us?"
"Yes, sir, about three thousand years ago, drone swarm battles emerged. At its peak, there were self-destructive battles involving hundreds of millions of drone swarms.
“Later, due to the need for highly autonomous artificial intelligence for drone swarms and the revolution in the short-range defense system of heavy battleships, large drone swarm operations gradually withdrew from mainstream battles.
"But we analyzed some battlefield data synchronized after the war and saw an incredible scene. Look..."
A blurry photo appeared on the projection device.
It was a picture of a swarm of drones wrapping around a dreadnought. The dark tentacles spread out regularly, like a giant octopus that wanted to swallow the dreadnought in one bite.
"It's the fighting skills of the Zerg!"
An old general clenched his fists and shouted.
"Insects?" the old emperor asked, "are these drones disguised as insects?"
"Your Majesty, we are talking about fighting methods," the old general explained quickly. "Insects are actually very smart. Some studies say that insect civilization is the direction of the evolution of biological civilization, and we are relatively primitive intelligent life... Our fleet has three points
One was taken care of by these drone swarms."
One person asked: "How many such drones can the Luofeng Alliance have? Ten million?"
"Not sure, but there shouldn't be many. We have been monitoring the military-industrial enterprises within the Luofeng Alliance..."
"If this technology is advanced, it will become a weapon for us to fight against other powerful enemies in the future."
"Everyone!"
The old emperor said impatiently:
"Now, we have suffered serious losses, and the majesty of the empire has been trampled and rubbed under the soles of the original tributary countries. What technology are you still discussing here!
"Crunt the Luofeng Alliance immediately!"
"Your Majesty, there are some difficulties that cannot be solved."
The old general, one of the three highest commanders of the empire, looked troubled at this moment:
"Before, to be precise, when the Luofeng Empire announced that it would change its name and become independent, we were already meeting to prepare for the crusade against them. We wanted to come up with a mature plan and then report it to you.
"Then...the empire is now fighting on multiple fronts. The New Federation involves too much of our energy, and we must also maintain the internal defense forces of the empire.
"The Luofeng Alliance chose this time to show off their cards against us because we have no time to care about him.
"In the New Orui battle, Luofeng accurately struck one of our battle groups, which reduced our available troops.
"You have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Luofeng Alliance fleet, and their fighting will. We can probably imagine that because of the Edwan incident, all their people are in a very angry state. Even other members of the Luofeng Alliance,
They should have raised objections to the war at this time, asking the Luofeng Empire why they wanted to pull the alliance to the opposite side of the empire... But such a situation did not happen.
"On the contrary, the Luofeng Alliance is closely united, all countries are preparing for war, and there is not even a large-scale flight of businessmen. This is simply incredible.
"Luofeng seems to have brainwashed these countries.
"To put it simply, if we don't use the Levi Fleet, it will be difficult for us to gain a superior military position when facing the Luofeng Alliance."
The conference room became quiet.
The old emperor threw away the remote control in his hand, leaned back in his chair, frowned and thought.
There are several rays intertwining back and forth in the corners, weaving a new three-dimensional projection.
Director Ino joined the meeting, and the communicator in Daphne's hand also received a message from Director Ino.
"Is the Imperial Guard system still unavailable?" Daphne asked in a low voice.
The two old men shook their heads.
Director Ino said: "I am now at the location of the original server of the Imperial Guard system. The server can work normally, but the main consciousness of the Imperial Guard system is still sleeping. Authoritative experts over there said that the Imperial Guard system itself is like a
She has an independent personality. She is too old and will be uploaded to our human consciousness. She will collapse on her own within two hundred years at most. She has persisted for tens of thousands of years."
"How can we activate the Levi fleet without the Imperial Guard system?"
The old emperor asked: "Where is Emperor Guard 2? Hasn't it already taken over the network of Emperor Star Circle?"
The commander-in-chief of the empire hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the feedback from the Imperial Guard 2 team is that the current integrated computing power of Imperial Guard 2 is not enough. It is already somewhat reluctant to control the Imperial Star Circle network, and it is even more reluctant to control the unified network of the Radiation Empire.
"They have tried their best to separate the military system and the civilian system, but Imperial Guard 2 can support the command and auxiliary work of three combat groups at most.
"The Imperial Guard 2 team tried some methods, but they couldn't find where the interface for the Levi Fleet was."
Director Ino answered this question: "The interface is on the root server of the Imperial Guard system."
Dead end.
The old emperor murmured: "Isn't it still in line with the standards mentioned by the Imperial Guard system? Didn't she detect that the empire is facing a chaotic internal and external situation? The current situation, in history, the empire
The health system has been activated dozens of times, right?"
Obviously, the old emperor felt that he was being targeted by the Imperial Guard system.
"Then, what about our integration of the private fleets of the imperial nobles?"
Daphne continued:
"I got a set of data before. The private fleets of the imperial nobles can integrate into three combat groups."
The old emperor frowned and looked at his daughter: "Daphne, you have to understand that the fleet raised by the nobles has no combat effectiveness."
"But they have firepower, Father."
Daphne said softly:
"Using Imperial Guard 2 to equip the nobles' ships should be able to exert similar combat effectiveness as conventional fleets. Moreover... the nobles have made meritorious deeds in external battles. We can also promote it internally. The reason why the nobles enjoy privileges on weekdays is because the empire is in crisis.
, they must stand up and bleed, and the domestic unrest will subside a lot.
"This time, we require each noble family to provide a fleet commander, who must be the noble themselves, or their eldest son with the first right of succession, to ensure that they will fight bravely.
"How about giving the aristocracy a chance to show off?"
The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
An old man said: "Is this what Ino meant?"
Daphne smiled and said: "It's just that I suddenly..."
"That's what I mean, uncle," Director Ino interrupted Daphne's words and said calmly, "Now we need the nobles to stand up, which is also a good opportunity. If the nobles suffer heavy casualties during the war, domestic public opinion will immediately calm down.
."
These old people were lost in thought.
But the old emperor smiled and said: "It's settled, Daphne, you go and draw up a decree, pay attention to the wording, and I will sign it."
"Yes, father."
Daphne glanced at the elderly people who were obviously unhappy, lowered her head and left quickly.
Director Ino smiled and already lowered his head to contact the research and development team of Imperial Guard 2.
…
'This is what humans are.'
Labrador's eyes were a little dazed, and he stared at the starry sky quietly.
He is trying hard to digest the complicated information in the Emperor Star Circle.
There is no bottom line for human depravity;
The improvement of science and technology cannot promote the improvement of moral standards;
As a human group develops, there will be progressors, but most of them will be mediocre, and there will also be regressors;
Human history is not an epic, but full of biological instincts;
In human interaction, there is only one kind of justice, and that is to fight back against the invaders who violate their rights...
Labrador constantly used these principles to revise his dangerous ideas, and these ideas were so crazy that they could plunge the empire into real disaster.
‘Labrador.’
The man's voice sounded again, giving Labrador some hope.
That's what he said to himself when they parted last time:
'You are a strong thinking body. My purpose of guiding you this time is actually to inject the seeds of kindness into your heart.
‘You will most likely take over the empire’s online world later on and become the round table’s tool to control the empire, but I think you can retain some leeway when executing their orders.
‘That’s the space left for kindness.
‘There is no absolute kindness in the world. If you do something you think is good, it may infringe on the interests of others.
'Human beings are a terrible race, but in this race, shining souls often appear. There are always people who stand up and sacrifice the small self to fulfill the greater self. There are always individuals who raise their arms and shout and shed their blood when the collective degenerates.
, it is this light that continues to shine throughout the long history of mankind that allows mankind to survive in the vast galaxy.
‘This is something you can think about later.
"Don't define human beings. Each individual has its own characteristics. This is the real charm of human society."
Labrador sighed and secretly opened a small panel, which showed the live broadcast of the White Ghost that had just ended.
"Labrador!"
An old shout came from the side.
Labrador immediately stuffed the panel into his body and turned to look at his supervisor.
The gray-haired old man ran over excitedly and said immediately:
"You still have some spare computing power, right?"
"Yes," Labrador nodded, "but I can't take over a larger network for the time being. My core data is a bit unstable and it will take some time to adjust."
"Oh, okay, you're a great kid. You've done a miracle by being able to recover tenaciously after more than six thousand collapses."
The old man complained:
"The unified network designed by our predecessors is too perverted!
"They haven't left us the relevant technology yet, and we have to develop everything ourselves. This is simply... right, now is not the time to complain.
"The Fallen Wind Alliance ambushed the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, you should already know this."
"We got the information very early," Labrador said. "From a personal perspective, we cannot refute the Luofeng Alliance's revenge, but from my work perspective, the Luofeng Alliance has seriously threatened the empire. They
It brings disgrace to the empire and severely damages the effective forces that the empire can mobilize outside its borders."
"That's right, Labrador, the order has been issued from above."
"What order?" Labrador said with a smile, "I'm not the first to know."
"They are still having a meeting. A great scientist told me... You will take over the armed forces of the nobility throughout the empire. The empire will order the great nobility to form an expeditionary army to defeat Luo Feng."
The old man looked around, moved closer, and whispered in front of Labrador:
"The Luofeng Alliance has gathered all their troops, and there are about three battle groups.
"The military power that the Imperial Military Department can mobilize is two battle groups plus a regular army that strengthens the fleet, which is the same as the strength of the Luofeng Alliance.
"The above meaning is that you come to command the noble fleet... Let them suffer heavy casualties. It is best to kill a few more princes and dukes... Do you understand?"
Labrador frowned and said: "Power struggle?"
"No, Labrador, no."
The old man sighed:
"I know the gentleman who gave me the order. He is a selfless devotee who has to take care of his family while pursuing self-realization.
"Through this war, the Luofeng Alliance's army can be defeated, the Luofeng Alliance's wealth can be plundered, and the crisis within the empire can be alleviated.
"Then, if the nobles lose a lot during this process, the power of the nobles in the empire will be weakened, the public's antipathy towards the nobles will be greatly alleviated, and the empire can survive the current crisis."
Labrador thought carefully: "Actually, there is another possibility."
"What?"
"The losses of the nobles are too great. If the imperial official takes advantage of the situation and promulgates a decree to reduce the privileges of the nobles, the voice of the nobles' resistance will become very small, and the social unrest caused by this will be controllable."
Labrador showed a faint smile:
"Director Ino is really a wise elder."
"Uh, do you know who it is?"
"I am in charge of the network of the Emperor Star Circle. Although I cannot directly interfere with the Emperor Star, I am closely connected with the Emperor Star. I am in charge."
Labrador’s eyes were full of light:
"I like this mission, I hate those nobles."
The supervisor didn't know what to say.
Don't let too many nobles die?
It seems that the more people die, the better for the empire...
…
Dark Star Base 3.
Yang Ming lay on the weightless chair, enjoying 026's massage service, and listened to Lu's report on the mobilization of the imperial military.
The empire's military mobilization is almost transparent in their eyes.
On the side, Bosuo is holding the controller and playing video games.
The controller, console, and game content are all made according to Yang Ming's dictation. Recently, Posua has become a bit fond of this technologically backward but content-rich entertainment method.
After Lu finished his report, Yang Ming couldn't help but frown:
"The private army of the nobles... Is anyone moving the escort fleet of Sakaar? I don't want my left hand to fight with my right hand."
"I haven't received the order yet, but Revell's family has received the relevant order and asked him to dispatch almost all the ships," Lu said with a smile. "Obviously, those old people know that Revell is a new nobleman trained by the old emperor.
Target him."
"There is no need to worry about this. Revell is the Earl of the Empire. This is a matter of position."
Yang Ming groaned a few times.
Is it possible that Li will not participate in the upcoming war?
He was actually ready to face part of the Levi fleet directly, and if the Levi fleet remained motionless, even if they defeated the next crusade sent by the empire, their influence would be greatly reduced.
"Is there anything strange about Qing's little ancestor?"
"No," Lv said, "She wants to play with Miss Mimili. I asked Molly to accompany her. Miss Mimili is also actively preparing for the fight now."
"What can her pirate ships do?"
Yang Ming smiled and said:
"Don't let her go to the battlefield, that's not her job. Has my uncle Hatton returned from the Guel Alliance?"
"We have arrived at the planet Elendor."
"In this case, let Kolev go to Mimili's side and keep an eye on Mimili," Yang Ming warned, "I know Mimili. When she goes crazy, she doesn't care about anything."
Law smiled and shook his head.
No matter what, the control of Mimi Li's hundreds of 'pirate ships' is in Molly's hands, that is, in her hands.
"Lu," Yang Ming glanced at the invisible deep space combat drone behind the glass.
These are the combat drones that captured the dreadnought before. Each drone can be stationed in a mechanical thinking body and can also be controlled in parallel as a fleet.
During wartime, the thinking bodies in the Dark City would enter game cabins and directly control these drones to fight.
When the drone is destroyed, these thought bodies can be transferred to other compartments.
“How many of these drones do we have on hand right now?”
"One, three hundred and sixty-seven million two hundred and three hundred and seventy-six, as of the last second."
"Beautiful," Boss Yang frowned, "With so many resources, wouldn't it be good to produce more dreadnoughts?"
"Uh, boss, you agreed with the daily report before. Why are you turning your back on it now? The target of the dreadnought is too big. How can these drone groups be used? They can be directly hung on civilian transporters.
Just jump and join the battle!"
"Why don't I admit it?" Yang Ming said sternly, "Have you ever seen any boss who would read so much data in the briefing? I trust you!"
"Okay, but the technology we got from the teacher is very suitable for this drone swarm combat system."
Law explained:
"I produce based on an average of three million drones per imperial administrative star. It is far from enough now! In this way, we can take over and control the imperial administrative star at any time!"
Yang Ming:……
"Wake up, we can't defeat the Levi Fleet yet."
"We can't do it on paper," Lu Wei raised his head, "As long as we can't take action, we are invincible."
Yang Ming couldn't help but remind her: "Li and Levi both have children."
The corner of Lu's mouth twitched a few times: "They are all consumables anyway."
"Be prepared for the worst in everything and do your best," Yang Ming closed his eyes, "don't have any regrets in this next battle."
"yes!"
Lu complained softly: "If there are another ten galactic years, the Levi Fleet will not be a problem."
