From the beginning to the basic end as seen by ordinary federal people, the war lasted for a total of twelve days, which was longer than Wu Xiaoqing expected.

During these twelve days, Wu Qing and Shen Wen sent a total of 8 battle reports to Yevgeny. Except for the two summaries at the beginning and the end, the other six basically maintained the frequency of sending once every two days.

The amount of information contained in these 8 battle reports, Wu Xiaoqing and the others held a full five consultation meetings, but they still haven't fully interpreted it, and they are currently holding the sixth consultation meeting.

Because of long hours of work, Wu Xiaoqing is already very tired.

Yan Yan brought coffee to Wu Xiaoqing, and Wu Xiaoqing stirred it with a spoon unconsciously while listening to the sound from the earphones.

"...I have to remind everyone that it was mentioned in the fifth battle report that the federal civilization has already predicted the outcome of the war. From the top of their government to the bottom of the people, they have long known the defeat of the war. As a result, the number of troops was increased in the end..."

..."Why? Because for their politicians, the investment in this campaign is a very 'profitable' business in a short period of time. They have a lot of money. Let's go back to the third In the first report, note that there is a detail mentioned here, for every person killed on the battlefield, the recruitment department can receive more than three applications for enlistment!..."

Wu Xiaoqing's hands stopped for a moment, not because of the content of the spokesperson, but because he was thinking about the author of the battle report.

Both he and Shen Changwen have a strange feeling now. Every time they receive a new report in the search and rescue ship, the two of them can almost feel it when they see the content of the report. Individuals seem to be themselves, it seems that they have experienced countless things that they cannot imagine in that completely strange civilized world, and then record all these information one by one, and spread them to the entire starry sky through radio waves...

When they first received one or two copies, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen were more suspicious of the accuracy of the information and the purpose of sending it out.

But after the fifth intelligence report, that suspicion began to dissipate.

Because there are countless verifiable details in the intelligence, almost every detail can be confirmed as authentic.This includes the current progress of the Black Star Campaign and the deployment of the entire coalition forces in the galaxy.

From the point of view of people on Earth, there is no doubt that this information is the highest level of military secrets.

But in the coalition and intelligence body, it is obviously not the case.All of this information is public in the federation's network world—as long as it is not a harsh and immediate need for a combat environment, the fleet in space is actually the most impossible to hide. No matter which planet you are on, as long as you are willing to spend time looking for it, Just put up a high-powered astronomical telescope, and you can see everything clearly.

In addition to military information, the report also contains a large amount of political information within the Federation, a considerable part of which involves the current attitude of the Federation people towards this war.

In the report, all sources of information have detailed basis, even specific figures, and the history of figures.

After the information is passed to Yevgeny, Yevgeny will check it with the intelligent body alone to verify the reliability of the information.In order to win their trust, the intelligent body will also explain the ins and outs of these reliability while giving the verification - all the elaboration process is also appended to the news sent by Yevgeny.

These intelligences and the corresponding explanations and elaborations have almost constructed a completely three-dimensional federal world, from their history to the current cultural and political status... It can even correspond to the vicinity of every planet and every man-made world. The source of the satellite...

This information can be easily verified by search and rescue ships.

According to the search and rescue team, it is not difficult to falsify intelligence, but what is difficult is the massive and systematic falsification of intelligence.

It is easy to create a single source of ordinary false information, just like writing a novel or a short story. As long as a story is carefully crafted and there is a reliable basis, it is easy to come out.For example, why the brightness of the planets in the federation is brighter than others at a certain moment, the intelligence can easily explain-the target area has recently started to update several major games, the proportion of people returning to reality has increased, and the entertainment consumption of the planet has increased...

But if it is systematic false information, such as the 13 planets currently controlled by the Federation, 3 of them are completely dark, 5 are normal, [-] frequently experience earthquakes, and [-] are uninhabited... What is the reason?Military control, immigration, large-scale industrial projects...there are all detailed analyzes in the report, and these analyzes also have historical records, all historical records can be accurately one-to-one correspondence with the historical data on the intelligence side.

This has almost confirmed the reliability of this intelligence source.

What Wu Xiaoqing cares more about than reliability is the forward-looking nature of the intelligence.

If Wu Xiaoqing and their replicas are controlled by the federal government, they may even be for a specific purpose, using some reliable information to gain their trust.Then they will obviously know with certainty what information the search and rescue team is most concerned about at the moment.

It's the war, it's the attitude towards aliens within the Federation, it's their current situation, and things related to intelligence and body.

In the transmitted information, there is indeed some information in this regard, but obviously, based on the attitude of Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen in the report, they did not regard this information as the key to this mission.

In the third report, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen had already shown considerable inclinations in the report. Most of the content in their report was not even related to the military, but a large number of game results.

For example, in this Black Star Battle, at the end of the first week of the battle, when Wu Xiaoqing and the others thought that the Federation was about to give up, Wu Qing’s analysis of this war came in the report—and the reason for the analysis , is generated based on some of their strategies in the game.

According to the report's analysis, this war will continue to prolong, and the Federation will gradually replenish its troops—even if this battle is doomed to failure.

The reason for doing so has been elaborated in the fifth report later, because this kind of behavior is a scoring move for federal politicians.

Sending 200 million soldiers to die can get the government 500 million new soldiers—war is just a numbers game for the federal government.

Of course, this number does not rise indefinitely. As the number of casualties increases, the fear of war among the masses will soon overwhelm their enthusiasm for physical revenge—even this is fully considered in the game, and a 200 Ten thousand is the most reasonable number in the game.Interestingly and ironically, the final decision made by the federal government was indeed the same as predicted in the report, no more or no less than 160 million people.

In this Black Star Battle, the Federation lost more than 500 million people and more than 400 million ships.Because it is a planetary defense war, many people returned to the planet in the escape pod after the ship lost power, and then rushed to the battlefield again.

For the federal army, this is extremely bad news, but for the federal government, it is great news.

In this short period of twelve days, the federal government received nearly 3000 million applications for enlistment-this battle destroyed nearly three fleets of the federation, but the manpower obtained by the federation was enough to rebuild [-] fleets.

These people are all armed, plus the existing federal military force, the total number of soldiers will exceed [-] million, and the number of warships will exceed tens of millions.

Compared with the intellectual and physical aspects, of course there is still a huge gap, but this is just the beginning.

According to Wu Qing's deduction in the report, if the war continues, the federal power will start the propaganda machine and continue to instigate the war, and the size of the army will soon be greatly expanded. ——They have been verified in the game, which is a common way for federation players.

"It has been verified in the game..." Wu Xiaoqing took a sip of coffee, repeated this sentence as if aftertaste, then turned on the headset and said to the search and rescue team, "For them, things in reality have to be brought into the game Verification... Just like explaining many problems on the earth, such as underground nuclear tests, some kind of computer model will be established to verify them. Is this behavior a common feature in advanced civilizations?"

"Of course," the search and rescue team replied, "the more advanced civilizations are, the more they like to play games. For many civilizations, games are more expensive than battle formations...Wu Xiaoqing, it seems that you are more capable than you imagined."

"We are better than us..."

Wu Xiaoqing nodded, but the smile faded away quickly, and she worried again: "But... how can we rescue them?"

"Recovery?" said the search and rescue team. "Do you think this is a good thing for them?"

Wu Xiaoqing dazed for a moment, and immediately understood what the search and rescue team meant.

Don't talk about whether you can't be rescued or not, even if you are rescued, so what?Is there a place for them on earth?

Not to mention, the federation's computer technology has surpassed the earth by how many generations. In the report sent back by "Shen Changwen", it specifically mentioned the other party's computer technology - the use of atomic-level storage devices, the computing speed of the computer It is beyond the imagination of people on earth-not to mention the scale.

In the Commonwealth, almost all planets no longer have geothermal heat, and there is only one source of geothermal heat—the heat emitted by computers when they are in use.

Even if all the computing resources of the people on Earth are piled up, they can't support any of the virtual games of the Federation people, let alone run it as a whole.

Just like it would be difficult for modern people to survive back to the primitive society, the gap between the federation civilization and the civilization of the earth is even greater than this. Let "Wu Xiaoqing" and "Shen Changwen" return to the earth - strictly speaking, after they are simulated by the program After it was manufactured, apart from the similarity in the logic mechanism of thinking, Wu Qing and Wu Xiaoqing are no longer the same species.

"The biggest problem now is not the problem of getting them out," said the search and rescue team. "Even when necessary, we may need to tell them... Let them cooperate with the federal government."

"Cooperation?" Now Wu Xiaoqing's brain reacted very quickly. After he wanted to understand the logic of the search and rescue team, there was an indescribable anger in his whole body, and he rushed straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

But this anger suffocated in his mind for a while, and then gradually cooled down with the thinking of his brain.

Yes, cooperation, besides cooperation...Wu Qing and the others, what other future is there?

The truth is the most obvious. The biggest purpose of their trip is to resolve the contradiction between these two civilizations...to prevent these two civilizations from being destroyed because of the war.But now, at least from what they have learned so far, it is very difficult for them to recover.

On the one hand, they have completely fallen out with the federal government, and if they continue to negotiate with the federal government, the basic trust between them is of course gone.On the other hand, the result of the war between the federal government and the intelligence body is also obvious.

Even though the federal people are trying their best to mobilize the war potential, in Wu Xiaoqing's view, it is just a dying struggle.According to the data in Wu Qing's report, the probability of the federal government's victory will not exceed 5.00% in the most optimistic analysis.

This 5.00% is also based on the foundation of Wu Qing and Shen Wen—that is, if the federal government can find Wu Qing and the others, it will have this poor chance of winning.

And if this factor is excluded, then the Federation's chances of winning immediately become less than [-]%...

There is still a theoretical chance, but it's as slim as it is non-existent.
