While Bai Xinghe was interrogating Tianxuan and obtaining information about Zixiao Palace, Xia Liekong was also discussing how to deal with the Silver Shadow Empire.
"It has been discovered that they are creating artificial wormholes, which means that what is in front of them is only one of the opponent's troops."
"If what the other party said is true, the two million spaceships in front of us are part of the Silver Shadow Empire's army, and they can colonize across different galaxies. The number of their troops will greatly exceed our previous expectations."
"What is most lacking now is strategic depth. Once they fight, they can destroy the solar system and planets without any scruples, but we can't, we only have one earth."
"According to them, this is only the twenty-third expedition of the so-called Starship Legion. According to the most conservative estimate, the total military strength of the Silver Shadow Empire is at least 50 million warships.
And to be able to supply and manufacture such a large-scale battleship group, they own and occupy at least twenty planetary systems similar to the solar system. "
"And this is the lowest number, the reality may be worse. We have to be prepared to fight hundreds of millions or even billions of warships."
Hundreds of millions of warships, hearing this number, everyone in the staff department couldn't help but groaned. Being overwhelmed by a large number of opposing fleets is what the staff is most worried about at the moment.
We must know that ten years ago, it would take several years for human beings to manufacture an aircraft carrier. Even now, with the existence of nanoworms, human beings have greatly improved their productivity. It takes a week to build a space battleship with a length of more than ten kilometers. time.
And such a space battleship with a length of more than ten kilometers excludes the existence of capable people. Whether it is the power, energy, main guns, armor or force field shields of the battleship, such a war weapon is already facing all ground and air forces. has an overwhelming advantage.
Now the entire human race possesses only a little over 300 space battleships, all of which are all ten-kilometer-long warships. And before the gap between the warships of the two sides is clear, the earth side will not easily send these more than 300 spaceships.
"The current top priority is how to deal with this fleet outside the solar system. We must annihilate them at once, and then destroy the artificial wormhole they are creating to prevent the arrival of support from the other side."
"It is also necessary to figure out the specific size of the Silver Shadow Empire, where are they, how far are they from us, and how much military power do they have. Where is the technology?"
The most troublesome problem is that what the Earth is best at is not space warfare, but ground and air combat with abilities mainly.
The universe is really too wide, thousands of kilometers, tens of thousands of kilometers in the vacuum of the universe, which is worse than a hair. Most magic, martial arts and psychic powers are simply impossible to fight across tens of thousands of kilometers.
But tens of thousands of kilometers is completely within the range of space battleships.
Xia Liekong thought about it, and at present in the space station, the only ones who can play a big role are him, Bai Xinghe, Fang Yuhuang and Emma. The rest of Jin Guang, Yan Bei, Zhu Di and other powerful people, if they don't cooperate with Fang Yuhuang, Emma and others, they alone will play an important role on the space battlefield with tens of millions of kilometers or hundreds of millions of kilometers as the basic distance. negligible.
Other than that, the most reliable thing is probably the super weapon left by Li Anping.
"Two million warships are still within our solution." Xia Liekong frowned: "But if it really breaks through tens of millions or even hundreds of millions..."
"Those wormholes must be resolved as soon as possible to prevent their reinforcements from arriving immediately, and to buy time for the Earth."
So under his order, Emma and Jin Guang set off together to intercept the other side's approaching spaceship. On the earth side, they will use the super weapons left by Li Anping to find a way to deal with the opponent's two million space battleships and artificial wormholes at once.
But what Xia Liekong knew was that even so, the human beings had only temporarily prevented the opponent's first attack, and a bigger test might be in the near future.
At this time, he hoped that Li Anping would come back soon.
※※※
Six hours later, in the fleet of the Silver Shadow Empire. The current fleet is still floating outside the solar system.
Of course, there are several explanations for the so-called boundary of the solar system. The current fleet is located at the boundary of the planets in the entire solar system. It is about 50 astronomical units away from the sun, which is about 70 million kilometers.
Russell sat in the restaurant of the flagship as usual, while looking at the endless space outside the window, while tasting the food cooked for him by the machine chef.
Every time he saw the incomparably vast universe that he could never explore in his entire life, he felt a sense of excitement. Maybe that's why he became a captain.
At this moment, the adjutant sent him the latest information about the earth, which was the data about the earth downloaded by the flagship brain before it was disconnected from the network.
Russell couldn't help laughing when he saw the content about superpowers, magic and martial arts in the earth. He had no idea that a civilization that had already left its own planet would still believe in such unscientific things.
"It's such a strange race." Russell shook his head, and then looked down, and found that the other party's political system was the same as the Silver Shadow Empire, which was also an imperial system, but the other party's propaganda about his own emperor was a bit exaggerated.
What moves the orbit of the planet, raises his hand to create a continent, captures the stars and the moon, it is almost like a god. But the people on the other side seem to believe in this kind of propaganda very much.
"What a boring earthling."
At this moment, the adjutant's communication request suddenly rang in Russell's ear.
"Captain, we found an unknown creature in the center of the fleet."
"Unknown creature..." Russell remembered Reinhardt's advice to him, and said in shock, "Zerg?"
"No, no, it seems to be a human being."
The next moment, a picture jumped out in front of Russell, it was Fang Yuhuang wearing an interstellar mech. Now Fang Yuhuang has reached the sixth energy level, and his thirty-three caves have also reached the third cave.
The distance he crosses each time exceeds 1.07 million kilometers, which means that although the distance he steps is only one meter, for the surrounding space, his speed has surpassed the speed of light, reaching three times the speed of light.
However, this long-distance crossing is obviously not unlimited. It took him more than four hours to come here from the direction of the earth, stop and go.
Russell looked at Fang Yuhuang in the picture in surprise, and shouted: "Who is this person? On that battleship?"
"He is not one of us." The adjutant said awkwardly: "He seems to be a person from Earth."
"How is it possible?" Russell yelled, "Find me quickly and find out how he appeared here."
At this moment, Fang Yuhuang released three palm-sized, dark round spheres from the mecha, and the next moment he stepped out, the whole person had disappeared.
"What's going on, what about others?" Russell asked angrily.
"No, I don't know..." The adjutant was also taken aback, and various instruments began to detect Fang Yuhuang's previous position.
"Captain, a large number of gravitons have been detected."
"What the other party left behind may be some kind of gravity bomb."
"Gravity bomb?" In Russell's impression, the range of action of the empire's gravity bombs is only a few kilometers, and the distance between warships exceeds hundreds of kilometers. What's the use of gravity bombs here.
But what he didn't know was that the graviton bomb in front of him was made by Li Anping himself, and he could produce gravitons in large quantities through mass-energy conversion and void creation.
There are only ten graviton bombs in the entire earth. In order to completely wipe out the expeditionary force at once, after careful calculations by the Earth side, Bai Xinghe was asked to hold three and drop them at specific coordinates.
Russell frowned and said, "Send someone to..."
Before the words were finished, the terrifying gravitational force had already covered the surroundings with a speed of more than 10 million kilometers near the speed of light. Except for things other than the speed of light, no matter could escape in this force field.
The expedition team of the entire Silver Shadow Empire was crushed into wreckage by the huge gravity in this attack, and the artificial wormhole, that is, the star gate, gradually closed and dissipated because it lost the continuous control of the device.
※※※
In front of Reinhardt, an official was reporting the situation of the expeditionary force to him.
"Is that so? The committee has approved the earth's colonization operation, let them quickly occupy the local planet, and use all their strength to find all the information related to the Zerg."
Suddenly, the face of the other party changed, as if he had received some new news.
Reinhardt asked, "What's wrong?"
"My lord... The expeditionary force lost contact with us, and the star gate was closed."
Reinhardt's eyes flashed, and various thoughts have been drawn in his mind: "According to the information sent by Russell, there is no civilization that can defeat them at all, investigate what is going on, and... the coordinates of the wormhole Still here?"
"It's still there." The official said: "If necessary, we can open the star gate at any time. There may be some kind of accident over there, should we send someone there?"
Reinhard thought for a while and said, "You inform the 16th, 17th and 21st Expeditionary Forces and let them prepare."
"I will apply to the committee to send them all."
It is foreseeable that with the continuous deployment of the Silver Shadow Empire's troops, the battle with the earth will become more and more intense. Although the Earth's technological level is still higher than that of the Silver Shadow Empire, it has a vast territory. The history of interstellar colonization has exceeded five thousand years. The Silver Shadow Empire occupies hundreds of planets. Its war potential is far greater than that of the Earth. Incomparable.
Just like the Silver Shadow Empire lacked an effective way to deal with the number of Zerg, the earth is now facing the same number problem.
The Silver Shadow Empire may be able to withstand hundreds of failures like the 23rd Expeditionary Team, but on Earth, there is only one chance.
Just when the earth was being targeted by two different forces, Li Anping finally opened his eyes slowly.
