It’s not just Yu Linglong that puts hope on Yang Yi, but also the human federation and the civilizations that follow the human federation. However, Yu Linglong clearly realized from the beginning that it was almost impossible to wait for Yang Yi to return. Even if Yang Yi set off from the Northern Alpha Galaxy after receiving the news, and always maintained the fastest speed, that is, the speed of light, it would take 10,000 years to return to the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Even if it is more ideal, such as a space jump with the largest span first, after traveling thousands of light-years, it is about three thousand light-years away from the southernmost star system of the southern Alpha galaxy to make another space jump, Yang It will take Yi also four thousand years to complete the middle journey, that is, four thousand years later to return to the Southern Alpha galaxy.
Obviously, no human being can live for five thousand years.
Although in theory, it is possible to extend the survival time of human beings indefinitely through hibernation, but in practice, this is absolutely impossible. Quite simply, hibernation is to extend the survival time of humans by reducing the rate of metabolism, not to completely stop the metabolism. As long as the metabolism is still going on, humans will age. Under normal circumstances, hibernation can reduce the rate of metabolism to one-tenth of that under normal conditions, thereby prolonging the survival time of hibernating subjects tenfold. Although continuing to reduce the rate of metabolism can further extend the survival time of hibernating subjects, it will cause unpredictable results, such as damage to the brain of hibernating subjects, and greatly increase the difficulty of ending hibernation, and even make hibernating subjects unable to Wake up in time before the body temperature returns to normal. Therefore, the metabolic rate during hibernation will be reduced to a lower level only in special circumstances, which is commonly referred to as "deep hibernation."
Obviously, hibernation will not solve the problem.
If deep hibernation is carried out, Yu Linglong's survival time can be extended to at least four thousand years, or even six thousand years, and it is possible to live until the day when Yang Yi returns. However, in the deep hibernation state, there is a huge risk of waking up every time, and no one can guarantee that Yu Linglong will wake up from her deep sleep every time. In other words, Yu Linglong entering deep hibernation is no different from death, only waking up after thousands of years. During this period, her existence has no value at all. Not only can it not help the human federation, but it will also become a drag. If it is just a normal hibernation, the meaning is not very obvious. After all, a Yu Linglong who needs to often fall asleep cannot always grasp the overall situation.
It is also true that Yu Linglong did not choose to extend her survival time through hibernation, but spent her life's efforts to build a strong army for the human federation, build a complete military and political system, and support several hard-core allies. , Laid a solid foundation for the human federation to fight against powerful enemies for a long time. It can be said that Yu Linglong has created a brand-new human federation in just over two hundred years with the power of one person. Without what she did, the human federation would have been completely annihilated as early as more than 600 years ago, the day when the four second-rate top civilizations were developed. However, even Yu Linglong cannot guarantee that the Human Federation will last for thousands of years.
The point is that the enemy is too powerful.
After the destruction of the three first-rate top civilizations one after another, the four second-rate top civilizations became the most powerful existence. Not only did they control the central region with the richest resources and originally belonged to the three first-class top civilizations, they also allowed most of the civilizations to compromise and become their accomplices. Simply put, the enemy of the Human Federation is more than four second-rate top civilizations, it is the entire Galactic Alliance, and the Human Federation can only rely on itself.
In fact, it is not just Yu Linglong. When the war broke out, no one believed that the human federation could persevere. Many people even believed that the human federation would be defeated within ten years. As a result, civil strife broke out in the Human Federation before the flames of war reached the homeland galaxy.
At that time, a small number of high-level federal authorities believed that they should compromise with the four second-rate top civilizations. Even if the vital outer star systems must be surrendered, the Lei Ling, the Star Weavers, and the Hidden Spirits under the protection must be handed over. Survivors are better than suffering from the war. In the words of these people, the Human Federation has no reason to confront the four second-rate top civilizations for the remnants of the three first-rate top civilizations. For this reason, these people took advantage of the chaotic situation at the beginning of the war to launch a coup and try to establish a new federal government. Unfortunately, they failed to convince the military, nor did they have the garrison capable of controlling the home galaxy, and they were arrested by the federal authorities before they could take action.
In fact, this is just a farce.
Before her death, Yu Linglong had anticipated internal turmoil and was prepared. According to her arrangement, after her, it was a group of nine veterans who participated in the Sixth Greenwich War and had direct contact with Yang Yi, who also firmly believed that Yang Yi would return one day. The three were from the Yu family, and the other six were from the expeditionary force formed by Yang Yi, that is, those who stayed in the Greenwich meteorite belt and did not follow Yang Yi to the northern Alpha galaxy, and later withdrew to the southern Alpha galaxy. Each of the nine veterans is a group of three, taking turns to hibernate to ensure that at least three of them will survive the day when Yang Yi returns. Among the three veterans in power, the elder from the Yu family is responsible for all internal affairs of the human confederation, and of the two elders from the legion, one serves as the commander-in-chief of the Federation, and the other is solely responsible for relations with other civilizations. Normally, only three veterans are required to preside over the overall situation, so the other six veterans are in hibernation. Only when encountering special circumstances, it is necessary to wake up the other six elders to ensure that at least three elders can survive for thousands of years.
Although this system is not perfect, it is stable enough to exist for thousands of years.
The key is that these veterans have all had direct contact with Yang Yi, know Yang Yi's strength, and firmly believe that Yang Yi will save human civilization. Although no veteran had the same strength and influence as Yu Linglong, as long as three veterans worked together, they could command the human federation.
In fact, this is also the key to the human federation being able to withstand the enemy's first round of onslaught without being quickly destroyed after the start of the war.
After the threat of the coup d’état was resolved, the Human Federation, under the command of nine veterans, quickly completed mobilization for war. In fact, before this, the Human Federation has always been in a state of quasi-war. That is to say, all regular corps are fully staffed, and the reserve corps has begun to train recruits; all military factories are producing weapons and equipment at full speed, and local governments of various star systems have begun to stock up war materials; liaison with other civilizations has already begun , The personnel of the intelligence agency went deep behind the enemy and began to instigate those civilizations that were not firm enough; the fleet that was originally distributed on the periphery has been withdrawn and reorganized in accordance with the wartime mechanism.
It can be said that the human federation is one step ahead of war mobilization.
It was this step ahead that allowed the Human Federation to withstand the violent storms that came immediately.
As for who fired the first shot, it doesn't really matter, because before that, four second-rate top civilizations had declared war on the human federation. Although the Human Federation has not declared war on the four second-rate top civilizations, it has entered a state of war, that is, wars with the four second-rate top civilizations have broken out.
In the first stage of the war, four second-rate top civilizations made a serious mistake, or Yu Linglong's deployment before the war had an effect. This is, the four second-rate top civilizations did not treat the human confederation as an opponent, and believed that they could quickly attack the human confederation. As a result, the four second-rate top civilizations were not fully prepared, or even dispatched enough troops.
At that time, the four second-rate top civilizations might not even have a complete set of war plans.
The first to launch the offensive is the Bingyu, that is, the Bingyu's fleet seizes and controls the route to the home galaxy to ensure that the offensive line is unimpeded. Immediately afterwards, the elite army of the Kunyang clan was responsible for removing the military strongholds on the route and removing the obstacles leading to the homeland galaxy. The wild beasts also entered the battle at the same time, using an astonishing number of legions to sweep the nearby star system to ensure the safety of the rear. As for the Extreme Clan, they did not send troops to participate in the war at the first time, but sent a fleet and transport fleet to provide logistical support for the other three second-rate top civilizations. In addition, the Extreme Realm Race also assumes the important task of supplying materials, after all, the Extreme Realm Race has the most resources.
If the attacked is an ordinary advanced civilization, there will be no suspense in the end.
However, the Human Federation is not an ordinary advanced civilization. The Human Federation at that time was already one of the most powerful civilizations in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. If the overall strength is taken as the criterion, the human federation even surpasses the Kunyang tribe, the Bingyu tribe, and the wild beast tribe, and is second only to the extreme state tribe. Besides, if the Human Federation is so vulnerable, then there is no need to wait for Yu Linglong's death, and the four second-rate top civilizations will start wars.
As a result, the leading Bingyu tribe first tasted the bitter fruit.
Regarding that fleet decisive battle, there are not many related records of the Human Federation, and it is not too detailed. It just mentioned that the soldiers of the military area fleet rushed forward, and the Kunyang and the wild beasts did not follow the situation, and went deep into the north. Thousands of light years in the region have encountered the human fleet that has long been ambushed. In the case of a sudden attack, the Bingyu fleet was quickly defeated, more than half of the warships were destroyed, and many warships were captured. To put it simply, the Human Federation took advantage of the enemy's carelessness and deliberately withdrew its perimeter defenses without making too strong resistance. It lured the Bingzu fleet into the northern region, and then ambushed the Bingzu fleet on the chosen battlefield.
In this decisive battle of the fleet, it was not only the fleet of the military domain tribe that was defeated, but also the hope of four second-rate top civilizations to quickly destroy the human confederation. The key point is that without the support of the fleet, the Kunyang and Beast tribe's legions can hardly function, and it is impossible to challenge the human federation alone. Unless the Extreme Realm Clan dispatches troops in time and dispatches a fleet to participate in the battle, otherwise the Kunyang Clan and the Mad Beast Clan's legions will have to take the initiative to abandon the star system they have captured.
Obviously, no matter how powerful the Bingyu clan is, it will not be able to rebuild a powerful fleet in a short period of time. It will take a lot of time and the war will be delayed.
However, this situation did not appear.
