Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 394
Crete, a seemingly ordinary planet with great value.

This small planet was originally the parent star of the Cretans, and more than 4000 years ago, with a favorable location and this route to the western region, the Cretans established the most glorious Its civilization is also the most powerful civilization in the Northern Fourth Region, and the Human Federation at that time only owned the home galaxy, not to mention in the Milky Way Federation, even in the Northern Fourth Region, it did not have much say.

Time flies, more than 4000 years have passed, the Cretans have long since become history, and the Human Federation has become the only remaining civilization in the Northern Fourth District.

As for Crete, it has long been a colony of the Human Federation.

Only now, this planet and the star system where it is located have long been occupied by the army of silicon demons.

In fact, this star system is not big, except for Crete, the others are all gas giant planets, and there are very few asteroids and satellites that can be developed and utilized.This is also the key to the rapid decline of the Cretans, that is, the Cretan star and the star system where it is located are too small, not only lack of resources, but also a serious shortage of living space.Although the Cretans have established a developed commercial civilization relying on geographical advantages, and the Cretans were once rich and envied even the top civilizations, but this kind of civilization without a foundation is not only difficult to last long, but also impossible to survive under the watchful eyes of powerful enemies grow.Unfortunately, the Cretans realized this too late.

Near Crete, a huge space fortress is gradually taking shape.

Strictly speaking, it is not a space fortress, but an asteroid pulled from nearby, with a diameter of about [-] kilometers.

Of course, transforming asteroids or similar celestial bodies into space fortresses is a common practice of the Silicon Magic Alliance.

Because there are perverted silicon beasts like Earth Dragon, for the Silicon Magic Alliance, all it takes is time to transform an asteroid into a space fortress.

However, in the process of transformation, it is still necessary to provide necessary materials, especially energy.

To put it simply, to transform an asteroid with an earth dragon, you must first ensure the vitality of the earth dragon, and you must keep the transformed asteroid at a high temperature, which is a temperature suitable for the earth dragon to survive, so it needs to consume a lot of energy, and have to be provided by other warships.Under normal circumstances, the Silicon Magic Alliance will leave a small fleet, which can not only provide energy, but also protect the fortress that is undergoing transformation, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Only now, there are tens of thousands of ships near the fortress, obviously not a small fleet.

Among these ships, more than a dozen are directly connected to the fortress, providing energy to the fortress, keeping the inside of the fortress in a molten state.Most of the other ships were gathered together, only a few small warships were cruising around, looking like patrol ships responsible for guarding.

It's just that only a small part of these ships, about one tenth are battleships, and the rest are military spaceships.

Of course, there is no essential difference between the warships of the Silicon Magic Alliance and the spaceships.The so-called warships are only equipped with weapons suitable for space warfare, while the military transport spaceship has a larger internal space, which can accommodate thousands of silicon ghost fighters, or millions of tons of supplies.Because the ships of the Silicon Magic Alliance are living silicon beasts, any battleship can be transformed into a transport spaceship at any time, as long as it is needed.After being equipped with the necessary weapons, the transport spaceship can also be transformed into a battleship, but its combat effectiveness is a little bit less.This flexible and changeable way of existence endows the Silicon Charm Fleet with great tactical flexibility, but it also limits its combat effectiveness.

Even if they are all transport spaceships, the strength of this fleet should not be underestimated.

Staring at the image on the projection screen, Yang Yi frowned.

The "Xinghai" is still outside the star system of the Crete star, billions of kilometers away from the Crete star, and the image signal comes from a small detector deployed by the garrison.Before being attacked by the army of silicon demons, Lin Liexun had deployed a large number of small detectors in and out of the star system, which were difficult to detect, so as to be able to detect the invading enemy in time and avoid being attacked suddenly.After the fall of Trik, the small probes went dormant because communication with the control center was lost.Although the army of silicon ghosts occupies the entire star system and has advanced detection equipment, finding these small basketball-sized detectors in the vast space of the universe can be regarded as finding a needle in a haystack.

With these small detectors, Yang Yi and the others don't have to venture into the star system.

"That's no ordinary fortress."

Hearing this, Yang Yi turned his head and looked at Lin Liexun who was walking over.

"It's not just a fortress, it's also a base. Have you seen those transport spaceships?" Lin Liexun pointed at the gathered spaceships. "Although there is no difference in appearance, these are all troop carriers, that is, landing ships, not cargo ships."

Yang Yi frowned, and looked at Lin Liexun incomprehensibly.

"Don't forget, the Crete galaxy is so big, there are not many resources worth mining. In addition, it is thousands of light years away from the home galaxy. Is it necessary to build a space fortress here? To build a military base on Crete, there is no need to build a space fortress with such fanfare." Lin Liexun paused for a moment, "The only reasonable explanation is that this is a base for training and training silicon demon fighters."

"The question is, isn't it too troublesome to train silicon demon fighters here and send them to the home galaxy?"

Lin Liexun smiled faintly, and said: "Obviously, these silicon demon fighters will not be sent to their home galaxy, but will be sent to other places."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Don't forget, the ultimate goal of the war launched by the Silicon Magic Alliance is not to destroy the Human Federation, nor is it to capture the Northern Fourth District, but to completely defeat and eliminate the Galactic Alliance. It is not enough to just destroy the Human Federation and occupy the Northern Fourth District. Although Most of the star systems in the fourth northern area have been occupied by the Silicon Magic Alliance, and the home galaxy is also under siege. However, with the lessons learned from thousands of years ago, the Silicon Magic Alliance will definitely make more preparations. For example, if they failed to attack the Human Federation in time, The battle to attack the home galaxy has become a protracted war, and the Galactic Alliance completed the mobilization of the war in time, including the seven top civilizations, and many civilizations sent troops to the fourth northern region, how should the Silicon Charm Alliance respond?"

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, expressing his understanding of Lin Liexun's meaning.

"Even if the Silicon Magic Alliance is fully prepared and has enough troops, after all the Galactic Alliance participates in the battle, they will definitely have to adjust their deployment, and they will have to switch from offense to defense, at least temporarily abandoning offense. In this way, defending the existing The result is what matters.”

"You mean, the Silicon Charm Alliance is starting to deploy a perimeter defense line?"

Lin Liexun nodded, and said, "Otherwise, why build a fortress-level military base here, and train and train Silicon Demon fighters?"

"What if the Silicon Charm Alliance doesn't plan to give up the offensive?"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Yi let out a long breath and said: "Simply put, if the Silicon Magic Alliance has received the news that the Galactic Federation Council has rejected the war resolution, and most advanced civilizations, including the Hidden Spirits, are not ready for war, it is difficult to Completing the war mobilization in a short period of time, even sending troops, is very limited. Then, the Silicon Magic Alliance may continue to launch attacks and advance to other regions."

"This……"

"There is indeed such a possibility." Shen Chengwen walked over and said, "Moreover, it is very likely that the Silicon Magic Alliance's siege and failure to attack the home galaxy has something to do with it."

"What do you mean?" Jackson also came over.

"We have always believed that the Silicon Magic Alliance will attack the home galaxy, and will advance to the hinterland of the Southern Alpha galaxy after conquering the Human Federation and occupying the entire Northern Fourth District. The courageous resistance changed the direction of the battle, and finally made the Silicon Magic Alliance fall short. The problem is that the Silicon Magic Alliance also knows that it is not easy to attack the Human Federation. Not only does it need to use a lot of troops, but it also takes a lot of time. Even if the Human Federation is defeated in the end, other civilizations of the Galactic Federation will be able to mobilize for war during this period. By that time, even if the Human Federation is over, the Silicon Magic Alliance may not be able to win." Shen Chengwen paused for a moment, then said "As General Lin said, the purpose of the Silicon Magic Alliance's war is not just to destroy the Human Federation, but to completely and comprehensively defeat the Galactic Federation. Obviously, the more time the Silicon Magic Alliance spends in the Human Federation, The greater the troops invested, the higher the rate of defeat. On the contrary, if the Silicon Magic Alliance uses the Human Federation to contain the troops of the Galactic Alliance, especially in the early days, when various civilizations have not yet completed war mobilization, the available troops are extremely limited , taking the opportunity to advance to the hinterland of the Southern Alpha galaxy can achieve a surprise effect, and the chance of winning is even greater. Even if this will inspire other civilizations, it is still much better than wasting the opportunity."

After Shen Chengwen finished speaking in one breath, the others were silent.

Obviously, this possibility does exist, but everyone didn't think of it before, or didn't think in this direction, but took it for granted that the Silicon Magic Alliance will first attack and destroy the Human Federation, and only after eliminating the troubles will it go to the Southern Alpha Galaxy Enter the hinterland.

If Shen Chengwen guessed right, the consequences would be unimaginable.

You must know that several top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Race have not yet completed war mobilization, and most advanced civilizations have not even started war mobilization.Although the Weaving Star Clan has already started to mobilize and dispatched the main force, and the Leiling Clan has also made some moves, the available troops of the Galactic Alliance are only so small.Now, everyone is staring at the home galaxy, thinking that assisting the Human Federation to defend the home galaxy will be able to withstand the attack of the army of silicon demons.The result is obvious, when all the available troops are dispatched to the northern four districts, there will be no troops available in other parts of the Southern Alpha system.If the Silicon Charm Coalition catches on and sufficiently moves away from this, the Galactic Confederation is bound to suffer a disastrous defeat.
