After Carlson returned, Yang Yi immediately asked Yuyang to organize the staff of the headquarters, and also asked Shen Chengwen to contact Otis and the commander of the Star Weaver Clan Corps.
Yang Yi is not making a fuss, but Carlson's survey results are related to the next combat operations.
Simply put, building a fortress on Feng Martian or transforming Feng Martian into a space fort is the basis for all subsequent combat operations.
Fortunately, Carlson did not disappoint Yang Yi.
After spending about half an hour briefly explaining the situation, Carlson made a final summary. "Because of the limited time, I can't travel the entire Beacon Mars, but as far as I have been, the information on the geological structure left by the leaders of the resistance organization is all accurate. In other words, as long as there is enough time and enough Resources, we can transform Feng Martian into a space fortress."
"Are you sure?" Shen Chengwen asked.
Carlson nodded and said: "Using our existing engineering equipment, I will personally train the engineering staff, as long as I can obtain the materials needed for the project, I can complete the renovation work. Of course, time is also important. A conservative estimate, It will take at least ten years."
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Carlson in disbelief.
Of course, it is not only Shen Chengwen who is surprised, but also others, including Yang Yi.
"Carlson, you should know that we don't have that much time." Otis exhaled and said, "At most half a month later, Her Majesty the Queen will reach the home galaxy. Judging from the current situation, the Cavajos The army that waits for civilization to arrive can arrive in three months at the earliest, and it’s only half a year at the latest. If nothing else, the reinforcements of the Star Weavers will also reach the homeland galaxy within half a year. Obviously, even the Silicon Charm Alliance Recruiting troops, even if several top warlords unite, the decisive battle surrounding the home galaxy will erupt within half a year. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, by that time, we will all be here to face the Silicon Charm army. "
Shen Chengwen nodded slightly, expressing agreement with Otis, and then looked at Carlson.
Yang Yi also looked at Carlson, but didn't say much.
"If it's only half a year, let alone transforming Feng Martian into a Battlestar, even if you build a fortress, time is too tight." Carlson sighed and said, "To be honest, let the Lei Ling Clan's engineering troops do it. , With the current engineering equipment, it will take about a year to build a fort here. If the engineering materials are not guaranteed, or if something unexpected happens, then..."
"Obviously, a fortress is of little value."
When Yang Yi said this, everyone else looked at him.
"That is the last choice. As long as possible, even if it is difficult, we have to try to transform Martian into a battlestar." Yang Yi glanced at everyone before saying, "It's not that I am so lofty, but that we must consider long-term considerations. Judging from the current situation, what is waiting for us will be a fierce battle, and whether or not we can hold the Mars will determine the direction of this war, and even the outcome of this war."
"Is it so important?" Shen Cheng looked at Yang Yi with little understanding.
"If it's not so important, I won't bring everyone here." Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "Before that, I have mentioned it. The purpose of capturing Feng Martian is to block the enemy's retreat route. , We can only annihilate the invading Silicon Magic army in one fell swoop when we launch the law. It’s just a long-term consideration. I don’t know if you have ever thought about how the enemy, especially Kutum, will feel after we occupy the Mars. In other words, how much influence will Kutum have if we take back Mars and control the entire wolfsmoke galaxy? Of course, it is still not visible, because the Star Queen has not yet reached the homeland galaxy, the army of civilizations such as the Cavajo Nor did he enter the North Fourth District. It’s just that when the Queen of Souls appeared in the home galaxy and other civilized legions arrived, how would Kutum respond? Don’t forget, not long ago, Kutum commanded the Silicon Charm fleet. The Star Weaver fleet, which was defeated by the Queen’s commander, was almost wiped out. From what I know about Kutum, as long as the Star Soul Queen reaches the home galaxy, he will seek a retreat for himself, at least there will be arrangements. Obviously, As long as Kutum is shaken, the top warlords who watch from the sidelines will follow and will never stay and wait to die. By this time, we obviously have to face not just the army of Silicon Charm commanded by Kutum."
When Yang Yi finished speaking in one breath, everyone else knew it.
Obviously, this is the key to Yang Yi's decision to enter the Wolfsmoke Galaxy and capture Mars.
Although there are enough reasons to believe that the Silicon Charm army that invaded the North Fourth District did not cross the Greenwich meteorite belt from this side, that is, from the route where the Wolfsmoke galaxy is located, but took other routes, but the battle was reversed and thousands more. When Wan's Silicon Charm army swarms to retreat to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, there will definitely be a lot of army coming here, and retreating through this route will inevitably attack the Wolfsmoke Galaxy.
At this time, it was just a fortress, which obviously didn't make much sense.
"The problem is, time is too tight, we can't delay the decisive battle until ten years later, and we can't control the battle on the home galaxy at all."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, and did not refute the question raised by Shen Chengwen.
"In addition, even if the beacon Mars is transformed into a battlestar, if there are not enough legions and warships, we will not be able to defend the beacon martian system."
Yang Yi nodded again, and also did not refute the question raised by Otis.
"Could it be that we have other choices?" Seeing Yang Yi did not speak, Yuyang couldn't help but said, "Although we are faced with many problems, it can even be said to be daunting challenges, but for us, there is no other choice. Of course, if it’s just to retake the galaxy invaded by the enemy, we don’t need to come to this place at all. In fact, we all know that if the invading Silicon Magic army is withdrawn, then the best result of this war is just Just like a thousand years ago, after we launched a strategic counterattack and achieved victory through huge losses, we signed an armistice agreement with the Silicon Magic Alliance and spent another one thousand years to prepare for the next war. Let’s not say that this result is not ours. What we want is definitely not what the Star Weavers want, and no one can guarantee that we will be able to achieve the same victory as a thousand years ago. For us, the only way out is here, through fighting on this planet. Change everything."
"And then?" After Yuyang finished speaking, Shen Chengwen asked directly.
Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react at all.
"Actually, this is what I want to say." Yang Yi heard it right away, and said quickly, "If it's just to defeat the invading enemy, remove the threat to the homeland galaxy, and regain the lost colonial galaxy, we don't need to come here at all. , Just go directly to the homeland galaxy. Just like Yuyang said, even if we achieve the same victory as a thousand years ago, it would not be considered a real victory."
"Brother, you..."
Yang Yi pressed his hand, stopped Shen Chengwen’s words, and said, “Of course, it’s too early to say this, and even I can’t believe it. It’s just that if we’re not ready now, it’s just an idea, or Said it is a luxury. Even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, we should try hard. What we are fighting for is not another armistice agreement, but a real victory."
"So, we have no other choice." Otis sighed secretly.
In fact, it is not only Shen Chengwen who thinks Yang Yi thinks too far, but even Otis thinks so. You know, even the Queen of the Star Weavers does not have the confidence to completely defeat the Silicon Charm Alliance, and Yang Yi is just a human being. Even if he was appreciated by the Star Soul Queen, he was just a human being.
"If you want to transform Feng Martian into a battlestar within half a year, what do you need?"
"Impossible." Carlson answered the question raised by Yang Yi decisively without hesitation.
"Yes?"
"It is absolutely impossible. Even if the Lei Ling clan’s most powerful engineering unit is brought over, with the most advanced engineering equipment, and other conditions are ideal, it is absolutely impossible to transform a planet into a space fort in half a year. Not to mention that there are no such ideal conditions."
Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully.
"Actually, I think..."
"So, within six months, what can you do, or what can you organize, what can you do?"
Carlson was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi without understanding.
"With the engineering equipment, personnel, and materials in our hands, you don't need to think about it. Assumptions can be guaranteed. What can you transform this planet into within half a year?"
"This… "
"Of course, what I need is the truth."
Carlson gritted his teeth and said: "If you transform according to the Battlestar, you can complete at most one-tenth, and it will be based on basic engineering."
"Must first complete the basic transformation?"
"That's for sure, if the foundation is not well laid..."
"We are just here to block the Silicon Charm army and prevent the Silicon Charm army from retreating. We are not here to achieve the final victory. So what we need is a space fortress that can be used in a short period of time." Yang Yi paused for a while, said After we annihilated the invading Silicon Magic army, we won’t need this battlestar. In other words, we don’t need a battlestar that can exist for a long time.”
"This... In this way, the fortifications can be built after the necessary infrastructure is completed. Of course, the premise is that you have enough and advanced enough defensive weapons."
"Of course, this is my problem."
Carlson nodded, expressing that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"What I want to know is, in your opinion, can this semi-finished fortress built within half a year stop the swarming army of Silicon Charm?"
"Definitely not, but it's definitely better than not having this fortress."
When Carlson said so, Yang Yi thought again.
This time, no one bothered Yang Yi.
After a while, Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully. After Zhao Yuyang and Shen Chengwen glanced, he looked at Otis.
