After many meetings, the Human Federation finally finalized the relevant policies in response to the requirements of the Galactic Alliance and announced the contents to the world.
Suddenly, all major media in the human world rushed to spread the news.
"The federal government officially responds to the Galactic Alliance. Humanity's most powerful battleship, the USS Intercontinental, will go to the outer stars."
"In response to the Dark Zerg crisis, the human federal government responded with a heavy blow - the Intercontinental spacecraft."
"The Human Federation officially responded to the Galactic Alliance's request to send troops, and an interstellar war is about to begin."
“…”
Various related news appeared on Internet pages and TV screens. The Human Federation was preparing to send troops to exterminate the Dark Zerg together with the Galactic Alliance. As soon as such news came out, the entire human society was in an uproar.
"If we don't develop our troops well, what kind of soldiers will we have? Are we going to please the 'alien father'?"
“The stupid federal government sells soldiers’ lives for unseen profit.”
"This federal government is absolutely a traitor. Let's unite to drive them out of office."
"Oppose sending troops and opposing the federal government..."
“…”
The human Internet exploded, hundreds of millions of comments were one-sided, and anti-war sentiment among the people was rising.
Humanity is relatively safe in one area. However, the war that broke out between the Galactic Alliance and the Darhk Zerg was so cruel. Dozens of large-scale interstellar battles have caused trillions of casualties to the entire Galactic Alliance. Many intelligent civilizations have even been destroyed by the Darhk Zerg. Genocide, people do not understand the federal government's decision-making.
This was the first interstellar war waged by humans against an alien civilization, and it had a huge impact on human society. Human stock markets and military-related stocks soared into the sky like a rocket.
Not long after the news was announced, the federal government was under tremendous pressure. For this reason, it had to invite heavyweight guests and hold a grand policy interpretation lecture to explain relevant policies to all mankind.
"Hello everyone, this is CCTV 1. Welcome to watch today's political points. I am the host Xu Jia." The famous female news anchor Xu Jia introduced herself with a smile.
After a pause, Xu Jia reached out to guide the guest sitting on her right, and introduced to the audience with a smile: "Everyone must be very familiar with this guest. He is a member of the House of Lords and is also the major shareholder of Shining Star Group. , Genius scientist-Zhou Xing’s uncle-Mr. Zhou Wenhua.”
"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be able to sit here and talk and share with you today." Zhou Wenhua looked at the camera and greeted the audience.
Xu Jia smiled, gestured to the left, and continued to introduce: "Everyone should be familiar with this person. He is our federal general, the most outstanding military strategist and commander - General Du Wen."
"Hello everyone!" General Du Wen nodded and greeted.
Xu Jia smiled, looked at General Du Wen, and took the lead in the conversation: "Today we invited Congressman Zhou Wenhua and General Du Wen, two heavyweights, to help us interpret the federal government's troop dispatch policy. I believe everyone is interested. If you want to know the inside story, please General Du Wen, please tell us the reason why the federal government is sending troops this time!"
General Du Wen nodded and said solemnly: "The federal government's response is a necessary choice. First of all, we are facing an enemy that must be eliminated - the Dark Zerg. Secondly, the Galaxy Alliance and our human civilization Because of the relationship between lips and teeth, the Dark Zerg forces us to temporarily put aside the differences between different civilizations. The Galactic Alliance has learned of the existence of our human civilization. They call on all civilizations in the entire galaxy to unite to resist the Dark Zerg. If humans refuse this Any suggestion will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from other alien civilizations and even use force. Therefore, the human federal government’s response this time is correct.”
"The Galactic Alliance is a large-scale organization that has existed for more than a billion cosmic years. If you think about it from another perspective, they will never let us stay out of it. We humans have only entered the interstellar age for a short time, and we simply cannot refuse them." General Du Wen finally added explained one sentence.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if human beings are a powerful civilization fighting against the Dark Zerg at the front, but there is a weak civilization hidden behind it, and it is growing rapidly. Faced with this situation, human beings will never let this go. Weak civilization.
As soon as General Du Wen finished speaking, countless viewers watching the news fell into silence.
"General, do you mean that the federal government's sending of troops this time is a forced and helpless choice?" Xu Jia looked at General Du Wen and asked inquiringly.
"It's just a small part of the reason. The current strength of human civilization and the Galaxy Alliance don't dare to force us too much. This dispatch of troops is the government's active choice." General Du Wen shook his head and retorted.
"Huh? General, what is the federal government's plan for this?" Xu Jia asked curiously.
The people watching the news interview were very alert. Xu Jia's question touched their hearts. The sudden announcement of the federal government's troop dispatch policy was difficult for countless people to understand. Countless people were eager to know what the Human Federation would do. Reasons for decisions.
"For this dispatch, the Human Federation is preparing to use the 'Intercontinental Battleship' which is still under construction. Therefore, the real expedition time will be around 135 years of the Federation Calendar. There is about 9 years of preparation time. During this period, human society will enter The state of war will deepen the application of science and technology throughout human society." General Du Wen pointed out.
Xu Jia nodded in understanding: "Just like mankind's World War II period, war will promote the development of human science and technology."
"Yes, one more thing. The Intercontinental is the most powerful battleship of mankind. We must show the strength of human civilization to the Galaxy Alliance and enhance the military status of human civilization in the Galaxy Alliance. In addition, we have not personally seen the combat effectiveness of the Dark Zerg. Experienced, this expedition is also the best way for us humans to truly experience the interstellar battlefield and confirm the combat effectiveness of the Dark Zerg and other alien civilizations. If the Dark Zerg can be eliminated, this experience in interstellar warfare is the foundation for human civilization to establish a foothold in the universe. ." General Du Wen looked serious and finally added.
"So that's it!" Xu Jia nodded in understanding, turned to Zhou Wenhua and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any other opinions?"
"Well, for this expedition plan, General Du Wen has already explained the political and military influence in great detail. Let me add other aspects!" Zhou Wenhua nodded, looked at Xu Jia and said with a smile.
"Okay, please!" Xu Jia looked happy and made an invitation gesture.
Zhou Wenhua looked solemn and explained: "This expedition of the Human Federation is of extraordinary significance. It is a reflection of actively responding to the crisis. It is not only beneficial to boosting the status of human civilization in the Galactic Alliance, but also beneficial to human civilization and the aliens in the Galactic Alliance." The civilization reaches commercial cooperation and becomes a member of the equal interstellar trade circle of the Galactic Alliance."
After stopping for a moment, Zhou Wenhua changed the topic and explained: "The war between the Galaxy Alliance and the Dark Zerg has lasted for more than a hundred years. This war has no tendency to stop in a short time. It can be said that both sides have tried their best. Although I don’t know if the limit of the Dark Zerg has been reached, but the number of damaged star battleships of the members of the Galactic Alliance is in the trillions, and a large number of star ships are urgently needed to supplement the combat power. However, we humans have not yet joined this circle, so this For this first expedition, we dispatched the most powerful Intercontinental."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Wenhua suddenly reached out and moved his smart wrist, releasing a holographic screen, showing the three-dimensional model of the Intercontinental battleship, as well as detailed parameters, and introduced: "The size of the Intercontinental is: 3.2 kilometers by 1.1 kilometers meters by 0.7 kilometers, equipped with a thousand anti-matter main guns, nearly 10,000 energy cannons, and countless types of laser cannons... It uses the most advanced atomic compression materials, has a national-level energy supply system, and the most advanced Warp drive system, curvature defense body... It can be said that the Intercontinental has the ability to destroy a planet on its own, and is a fortress-level weapon of war."
"In this expedition, our human civilization will rely on the powerful combat power of the Intercontinental to show its style and win starship trading contracts from other alien civilizations. Ultimately, we can obtain various livelihood technologies from other alien civilizations. Basic theories, resource stars... and other resources can enrich the foundation of human civilization." Zhou Wenhua explained to the audience while looking at the camera.
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as Zhou Wenhua finished speaking, Xu Jia clapped her hands excitedly.
"Great! Congressman Zhou, General, your explanation is so wonderful. Now I finally understand the significance of the federal government agreeing to this expedition." Xu Jia looked at Zhou Wenhua and General Du Wen and said with admiration.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhua smiled helplessly, looked at the camera, and said with some frustration: "Most people feel that the federal government is exchanging soldiers' lives for benefits during this expedition. That's right! This should be an irrefutable statement. fact."
Xu Jia and General Du Wen frowned and looked at Zhou Wenhua, wondering why he brought up the topic again.
Zhou Wenhua looked at the camera and changed his tone. His tone was first heavy and then passionate: "Since the birth of human civilization, the war was not for profit? However, this time it is different. We are not for the interests of the country. For the private interests of a certain 'emperor', this expedition is for the 'interests' of human civilization's continuation. You should not object to this expedition. We must prove to alien civilizations the power of human beings, and human civilization must possess A greater voice!”
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as Zhou Wenhua finished speaking, Xu Jia and General Du Wen applauded.
"Congressman Zhou, what you said is very good. Yes, this expedition is no longer for 'self-interest', but for the great cause of fighting for the living space of human civilization." Xu Jia agreed excitedly.
"Yes! For the right of human survival, any soldier is willing to sacrifice for it without fear!" General Du Wen looked at Zhou Wenhua and nodded solemnly.
"Well! I just said what I should say!" Zhou Wenhua smiled and nodded.
Zhou Wenhua's words have the finishing touch. I believe that after this interview is over, the anti-war sentiment in human society will disappear.
Xu Jia's eyes were bright and she kept up her efforts. She looked at Zhou Wenhua and asked: "By the way, Congressman Zhou, our Intercontinental is so powerful, can its combat effectiveness be ranked high in the Galaxy Alliance?"
"It should be in the top ten. The first place should be the Daluo ship of the fourth-level Logos civilization, and the second place is the crystal spaceship of the Crystal Star civilization... The Intercontinental uses many advanced technologies, and the construction of the Intercontinental is difficult It has almost reached the peak level of third-level civilization shipbuilding, and it should be tied for tenth with the main ship of the Morro civilization!" Zhou Wenhua said with a slight smile, predicting.
"Really? Our human shipbuilding skills have reached this level?" Xu Jia's voice revealed surprise. He looked at Zhou Wenhua in disbelief and asked to the end.
"Yes, although the Intercontinental has not been tested in actual combat, according to the detailed combat parameters of the Intercontinental and compared with the main battleships of the members of the Galaxy Alliance, our Intercontinental can indeed achieve this ranking; it can achieve this ranking. , there are many accidental factors. First of all, we reversely derived a large number of advanced shipbuilding technologies from the Titan. Secondly, the Shining Star Group has made great achievements in the application of important theories such as 'curvature', 'antimatter', and 'grand unification'. A major breakthrough. Finally, in the overall construction process of artificial intelligence, various manufacturing process defects were continuously overcome to achieve the conditions for perfect manufacturing of the Intercontinental. Combined with the total factors, the combat effectiveness of the Intercontinental is definitely beyond everyone's imagination." Zhou Wenhua said. Looking at the camera, he explained in detail.
"Well, the Intercontinental is so powerful, so it should be difficult to build, right?" Xu Jia looked at Zhou Wenhua and asked worriedly.
The scale of the interstellar war between the Galactic Alliance and the Dark Zerg involves hundreds of millions of warships. If a powerful spacecraft cannot be mass-produced, it will be difficult to play a role in a medium-sized and large-scale interstellar war.
"No, it's just the opposite first." Zhou Wenhua smiled slightly, waved his hand, and continued to explain: "When designing the Intercontinental, Zhou Xing had already considered this, and all construction parts were produced using an assembly line production method. However, again, Using a special packaging process for assembly, the completed Intercontinental manufacturing center covers an area of one million square kilometers, forming a large space dock that can manufacture 12 Intercontinental spacecraft at the same time, and the project time only takes one year."
"Where is this manufacturing center?" Xu Jia perked up and asked curiously.
"Sorry, this is a military secret, but I can reveal the news that there are six Intercontinental construction centers under construction, and 12 manufacturing centers to be confirmed!" Zhou Wenhua smiled mysteriously, looked at the camera and said proudly: " Our family is not as weak as everyone thinks, so this expedition is an opportunity for humans to show off their muscles to other civilizations, so don’t worry too much.”
…
Zhou Wenhua's declaration spread to thousands of households, and for a while, the entire human civilization changed its attitude towards this expedition.
