The last human in the universe

Chapter 218 The overall defense plan of the galaxy
100 fleets!
Not to mention that it is more advanced and powerful than it is now, just such a fleet now needs more than 50 front-line fighters, and 100 ships, that is more than 5000 million front-line fighters!
To support such a huge fleet, the number of supporting logistics personnel, base staff, etc., plus military factories, research institutes, civilian personnel, etc., may be several times this number.

All in all, the total number of personnel engaged in the military industry is probably at least 3 million!

From the perspective of the overall economic structure of civilization, the military industry is an industry that consumes nothing but produces nothing, like a bottomless pit.Unlike agriculture and industry, it can produce products and feed back civilization.

That is to say, the [-] million people employed in the military industry simply need to be "supported" by practitioners from other industries in the civilization.

Moreover, the average consumption level of practitioners in the military industry is extremely high - just one maneuver of the space carrier Earth, the fuel consumed is converted into human currency and shared equally on each soldier, which is a burden that the average salary level cannot bear .What's more, the space carrier needs to undertake many other tasks. The combat spacecraft needs to launch missiles, launch vacuum cannons, launch electromagnetic guns, build spy satellites, build communication systems, and build interstellar mines. Money is everywhere.

This is not the ancient times, where each person can go to war with a stick and a few buns.

Averaged out, roughly calculated, at least 50-60 normal, highly educated working people are needed to support a soldier.

As far as this is concerned, it is still under the premise that the industrial supporting facilities are extremely complete, the degree of technology is extremely high, the degree of automation is also extremely high, and the productivity is extremely liberated.

Calculated in this way, under ideal circumstances, the scale of human civilization must reach at least 160 billion to support a fleet of 3 million people.

But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the entire social structure is full of labor, there are no elderly people, minors, or sick people. Everyone has to work, and there is almost no additional loss.

In addition to the elderly, patients, minors, plus their own inevitable losses - people are not machines, people have to eat and drink delicious food, watch movies, travel, and need service industry practitioners , need entertainment industry practitioners, need internal order maintainers, need social managers, etc., counting these self-losses, etc., this number must be tripled at least.

In this way, it is a population size of about 500 billion people.A little looser, so that people's pressure is not so great, that is, a population of 600 billion.

This is almost the lower limit of the population to undertake 100 fleets.

Now, the overall scale of human civilization is only about 150 billion people.

One sentence from Zhao Changxing planned the blueprint for the overall development of the entire civilization in the next 100 years.At this moment, people clearly know that in the future, the population will continue to grow rapidly, major factories will continue to be built, baby care, education, roller-type living bases, scientific research development...

"History is created by the people, never by one or a few high-ranking people. As the leaders of civilization, the only thing we can do is to follow the trend of the times and the voice of the people. We must defeat the invasion or, to defend our wealth, to create a prosperous and powerful civilization...

The next period of time will be a magnificent era.let's work hard together. "

……

In the H1 galaxy, human civilization is developing rapidly at a speed that even surprises itself.Ordinary people may not have a deep feeling for this. It is nothing more than seeing what is built today through the news, which airlines are connected again, and a certain technology has made a breakthrough. But from the perspective of a civilization leader , Looking at the data displayed on each piece of information, I have a deeper feeling for this.

The first is steel production.

Steel is the foundation upon which everything else is built.However, in the decades after the first "Venus" class fleet was assembled, the average annual increase in steel production compared with the previous year has always remained at more than 1000 billion tons.

Another important indicator is the production of antimatter.

Antimatter is the foundation that drives all operations. Although it never appears in front of the general public because it is too dangerous, its influence is everywhere.

The spacecraft needed for navigation, the energy used in daily life, the operation of the drum-type living base, everything is inseparable from its existence.

Since the first antimatter production line with an annual production capacity of [-] tons was put into operation, the mass production process of antimatter unique to human beings has been continuously and rapidly innovating.Today, even production lines with an annual output of one million tons have been put into production after rigorous testing.And such production lines and huge factories require an average of dozens of new cities every year. Correspondingly, the antimatter production is at least above the level of the previous year, increasing by hundreds of millions of tons.

What surprised Zhao Changxing the most was the most important indicator among all indicators, that is, the growth rate of the total population.

In the past few decades, the total population has directly increased from more than 150 billion to more than 350 billion, more than doubling, and still maintaining a rapid growth rate.

More population means stronger productivity, but how to make more population a booster rather than a burden to the growth of civilization is also a profound knowledge.

This requires a more efficient and transparent social operation, and at the same time, a continuous and uninterrupted high-pressure attack on the dark side of society.In this regard, Zhao Changxing thinks he is doing a good job - the many corpses who are legally deprived of their lives every year can testify to this.

At this stage, the number of "Venus" class fleets that Zhao Changxing wanted has increased to 20.At this moment, more than 1000 million front-line soldiers are busy all day long, either during exercises or on their way to the exercise site.

Near stars, near rocky planets, near planets with atmospheres, interstellar space, gaseous planets, etc., in every different space environment, there are fleets belonging to human civilization in constant confrontation, trying to find each new The method of combat and find a way to deal with it, and make every effort to improve your combat ability and combat skills.

At this moment, the production lines for the mass production of warships and space carriers, interstellar mines, turrets, spy and military and communication satellites, etc. have been fully rolled out, and the production speed will increase again in the future.

Under such circumstances, on a certain day after several decades, hundreds of deep space observation stations and a greater number of deep space observation forces submitted a report to a higher level at the same time.

In the direction of the Jagged Nebula, they discovered many abnormal flashes.

This report immediately caught Zhao Changxing's attention.After further analysis, it didn't take long for extremely clear results to be placed in front of the civilization leaders.

"This is a huge fleet that is slowing down. Their heading is exactly the H1 galaxy where we are."

"Preliminary observations show that the size of the fleet is at least 1400 super-large transport ships. Based on our understanding of the Storm Civilization, the population of the Storm Civilization that these spacecraft can carry is at least [-] billion people. It is basically certain that, This is the main body of Storm Civilization."

Through the literature and materials in the space carrier of the G1 star system coalition forces, as well as the interrogation materials of the captives, the cultural and historical experts of human civilization have done a lot of research, combined with the original explosion location information and the current heading information , people have basically determined that this third-level civilization from the Jagged Nebula is the Storm Civilization.

At this moment, after actually observing the deceleration tail flame of the Storm Civilization fleet and confirming their course, people know that the dust has finally settled.

Although human civilization has been carrying out large-scale war preparation activities before, the basis for supporting this move is only some inferences.Because people don't know whether the third-level civilization will really come.

And now, there is no doubt.

Zhao Changxing let out a sigh of relief.

"Isn't this day what we are prepared to face?"

"According to the current observation data, it will take about 50 years for the main body of the Storm Civilization fleet to reach our galaxy."

"Then, let them come, not leave."

Stimulated by this news, the development speed of human civilization has once again increased much faster than before.Zhao Changxing's main energy was temporarily removed from development and focused on another aspect.

"It's time for a system-wide defense plan."

Interstellar wars are not about gang fights, or a swarm of spaceships rushing up to do it.Maneuverability, range, performance, lethality, defense, logistics base, communication, etc., etc., there are countless factors that people need to comprehensively consider and arrange comprehensively.If the arrangement is not good in one place, the overall plan may be disrupted, and the efforts and painstaking efforts of countless people will be wasted.

This is a huge task that requires the participation of tens of thousands of senior staff officers and many senior military officers, and takes a long time to complete.

After layers of discussion and review, finally, a preliminary opinion caught Zhao Changxing's attention.

"With the observation capabilities of the Storm Civilization, our escape from the Iron-Blooded Nebula must have failed to hide from their observations. However, according to literature research, the civilization in the Iron-Blooded Nebula also pursues the principle of 'humanity and inferiority. People's policy. Although this type of civilization is more survivable and more suitable for this universe, it has a limited development speed and limited potential.

From this, it can be deduced that from the perspective of the storm civilization, it is impossible for a small fleet like ours to develop to the present level after only a few hundred years after reaching the H1 galaxy.This gives us room for strategic deception.

We should pursue a principle to make better use of this rare strategic space and opportunity.

This principle is, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. "
