The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

But Oregana obviously understood this, and she replied:

"On average, the strategic food reserve is about 30.00% of the annual consumption of each civilization. PL (emmm) ANT is more, because they were scared by the joint card food card before, so they got hamster cancer, accounting for 60.00% of the food reserve. 18.00% of the annual consumption is [-]." She paused, and continued, "It is generally believed that the safety warning line for grain reserves is about [-]% to [-]% of the annual consumption, so basically there is some surplus left."

"And considering that we want to save the world, everyone will more or less increase the amount of food stored-the amount of food stored can feed about one billion people for two to three months, that is, the new hydroponic farms are photographed to produce The time for the first season of grain. As far as we are concerned, this amount is basically enough."

The Ministry of Consolidation will not cause a food crisis, because the level of technology is sufficient, and no matter where a new colony is opened, it will first start to shoot farm food, coupled with the mass production technology of nutrient paste excavated from Star Ring archaeology, it can be Keep people safe.

"However, it's different here." Oregana clicked on the star map, "The mother galaxy has actually become an isolated island, and the other party obviously came with the attitude of killing them all. All the industrial facilities in space, residential stations, All the food production areas on the surface of the planet are taken away at once, even if these reserves are placed where everyone can get them easily, the survivors can save food and eat for five years, which is already very powerful."

The Tin Woodman swallowed her saliva—she was right, when the infrastructure was basically completely destroyed, even if the final insurance to protect civilization was activated, there was no way to successfully distribute the food.On the scorched land where order collapsed, the pressure of survival brought about by the collapse of order and hunger made people despair and degenerate.

If at this time, the center of the empire is successfully preserved, even a strongman who can stabilize the hearts of the people will stand up and control a group of people and technicians, and they will also get the undamaged industrial mother machine in their hands , find a way to reclaim the land, or re-establish a reasonably productive farm to feed their people, then there is hope.

But judging from the results, they ultimately failed to achieve these goals.

And their colony star died earlier than them, and in this galaxy, there is also no one who can help them.The enemy almost destroyed everything, leaving only a fortress that can be counted on one hand. The main functions are basically complete, but the port is blown up, and a spaceship cannot be dispatched.

"And... look at these."

"This is……?"

"A batch of conventional grain storages on the ground were destroyed during the orbital bombing, and most of the underground storages were not even touched... It is not known how much food the survivors searched for back then, but obviously, the irreversible There was no escape from famine, and there were no jungles among the ruins back then."

The city and surrounding areas were bombarded from orbit and nearly burned to the ground.Food cannot be obtained from nature, and what can be eaten in the ruins is decreasing every day...

"This is a countdown, and there is very little time left for them. Even if they have intact industrial reconstruction equipment in their hands, if they cannot 'manufacture' enough food for the survivors within the limited time—that is, when the surplus food is exhausted Food, the survivors will soon find that they no longer need these means of production."

Oregana paused, she felt that her throat was a little dry, and she didn't even dare to imagine the scene carefully.

Throughout the ages, there are three kinds of greatest sufferings that human beings have experienced: swordsmanship, famine, and plague.This time the Double Star Empire has taken all three...

And how does a terrible famine usually end?

One - the government provides disaster relief and opens warehouses to release grain.Open the grain depot, distribute the stored grain to the victims, and transport the grain from other parts of the country where there is no famine to the disaster area, no matter what, it will last until the next grain harvest.

Second - escape from famine.In times of famine, unable to live, they help the old and the young to flee to foreign lands to seek food.

In 1845, Irish potatoes were infected with late blight, causing a large number of potatoes to rot and lose their harvest. The famine broke out. From 1845 to 1850, the population of Ireland under British rule decreased by nearly a quarter. From the end of 1846, a large number of immigrants In the ten years since, more than 180 million people have fled Ireland.The same is true in other places. A bad harvest will not lead to a bad harvest in all places. If you move your legs, you can always find a place with food.

But... who here will give you disaster relief?Where can you escape to?

"The number of people in a single settlement is already lower than the minimum population base required to maintain the level of modern civilization, and you want to communicate with nearby settlements... When there is no communication, the transportation system collapses, and there is insufficient food, you can just walk around and look for it with only one pair of legs It is very difficult to find settlements hundreds of kilometers away under the circumstances."

The Tin Woodman showed an unbelievable expression, and her voice was trembling:

"That is to say... the more survivors survived the first disaster, the more tragic this phenomenon will be? The lower the probability of civilization surviving?"

"That's right, that's it." Oregana tried her best to calm down her voice, maintaining the majestic image she had imagined. "The solution to the problem is to increase the level of automation, and then hide the automated machinery as deep as possible. , Do it smarter. Immediately after the disaster, we ran out to rebuild, but this kind...even we haven't done it yet."

The Tin Woodman took several deep breaths, and a serious expression appeared on her face:

"32, why don't we anchor some fortresses, industrial stations, and residential stations in places that ordinary people can't imagine—such as the black field between galaxies? I think this operation is very necessary now. "

"Hearing what you said...it seems to make sense." Oregana was taken aback for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on her face, "Are you taking precautions before they happen?"

Although I think it is really unnecessary, but if [My New Eden is impenetrable! ] If I say it, it may turn into a high flag, so Oregana intends to toss the salted fish house and ask him to hold back another set of equipment. (thumbs up)

We have not damaged any ships recently, and there is no problem of fighting with logistics.None of the Doomsday Dreadnoughts assembled in Keprue has been damaged yet. It is reasonable to look for logistics and construction at this time! (chest out)

But you must get the building before the filming with Emon. Once the fight is delayed, it is estimated that not only the building will not be available, but you will also bring the bowhead whale to lead the team to mine—although I told the salted fish house at the beginning [ We will definitely not lose more than half of it], but in fact, Oregana never thought that these ships would be able to sail back to New Eden without any problems...

Anyway, when the boat enters the canal, it is also a bath, and when the driver returns to the bathhouse, it is also a bath. It is always necessary to take a bath. (bad nonsense)

Thinking of this, Oregana took out the small electronic board and began to tap on it.The Tin Woodman came over to take a look, and found that the goods had written an order for Xianyu Zhai. The content was only one line, a total of six words——

Iron wall, quantity, twenty.

"Fuck!?"

Oregana pressed the send button calmly, and quickly pressed the power off button before the other party could react:

"You said... Will Xianyu Zhai want to chop off our heads in the future?"

"...You lack this head?"

"That's also..."

The sudden ringing of the communication interrupted the meaningless topic about the head. Oregana was taken aback by the communication, thinking that Xianyu Zhai called from a different phone number.But what appeared on the screen was indeed Mayu Asuka's face——

【Master, here is a new discovery. 】

"Huh?" The Tin Woodman raised his eyebrows, "Let's take a look?"

【Yes. 】

The picture released by Mayo left the two of them stunned:

On the screen is a whole row of sleeping cabins, and there are more than 20 in the whole room.Under the transparent cover are intelligent life forms that have been seen on the mother star.It seems that they are slightly thinner than those 'descendants', and their body color is not brown red, but lighter brown.They lay quietly in it, seemingly asleep.

But not all the people in the covers are peaceful—more than half of the hibernation cabins have a layer of dirt inside, brown, sticky dirt.The body of the person lying inside was twisted, the fingernails were peeling off, all the joints were in tatters, and the body was also decayed to varying degrees.

This is obviously caused by the failure of the dormant capsule. After being locked in it and waking up halfway, the life-extending equipment has become a small coffin, which cannot be opened even with all your strength... Maybe it is almost the same as being buried alive.

"Mayu, are the others still alive?"

[I don't know,] the black-haired girl shook her head [The power source of the dormant cabin is still connected, but I can't get all the information just by using the probe.We need to send someone in... don't get your hopes up, though. 】

"I came in with a grave-digging mentality, so I didn't have particularly high expectations." The Tin Woodman shook his head, he turned on the communicator, and ordered, "Install the universal airlock into the compartment that was destroyed halfway, and seal it up." Fill this room with the atmosphere from their home planet. Then open the dormant capsule according to the procedure, and bring back those who are still alive. If they are dead, see if they can extract the residual memory and prepare the file. Go to another team The technical kid, use the system provided by Valenska to export the data of this outpost computer, the more comprehensive the better."

【Yes! 】

"Very professional..."

"It's been digging for a long time, and it's like this."

PS1: The BUG that appeared this time is to blame for not thinking clearly in advance qwq

Because at the time of the deduction, all the attention was focused on whether the people trapped on the home planet could use the strategic grain storage and persist until the existing industrial equipment was used to rebuild agriculture and grow the first batch of grain when they lost foreign aid and supplies. Solving the food problem is on qwq

At that time, after checking the data on strategic grain storage, I came to the conclusion that it didn't seem to work, so I didn't think about other factors... It's really that we don't think about it here (shaking)

Regarding the problem mentioned before, we tried to round it up as much as possible, but there are still far-fetched places... I'm really sorry qwq (Dogeza)

Thank you for your help pointing out this BUG, ​​we will remember this, and think more rigorously in the future, I hope everyone will continue to support Migu 0w0 (bow)

PS2: Ask for collection and recommend microphone 0w0

PS3: continue meow 0w0 tomorrow

PS4: My body temperature has been completely stabilized today, I should be recovering, keep working hard in full condition 0w0

Chapter 598 Chapter 542: Weapons and 'primitives'

Xianyuzhai looked at the communication in front of him, his face was calm, and he didn't say a word.A mechanical adjutant made with survivor technology stood behind, not daring to casually go up to talk to him.

Generally speaking, everyone's adjutants are smart and quick-witted children in the Naval Academy, or they choose excellent fighters from their own battle groups to serve as them-they don't need to be very powerful, because they are not bodyguards. , mainly because of a flexible mind.In this way, they can help the chiefs deal with some things that cannot be handled by themselves, arrange schedules, summarize information and so on.

However, Xianyu Zhai did not do what others did, which was determined by the nature of his work.

When production orders, scientific research lines, allocated raw materials, and transportation of finished products from various aspects are piled up in front of your eyes, even the most astute people will inevitably make mistakes.As a logistics manager, the more I sort out the complicated production line, the more I feel that human beings have their limits after all...

Therefore, he chose a survivor AI to be his adjutant.Because it is equipped with a computer with excellent performance, but because the small humanoid machine is too small, the heat dissipation problem cannot be solved by built-in equipment after all, so the mastermind installed a wing-shaped radiator on her back (it cannot fly).A large number of data interfaces are installed on the side of the head, and the outside is protected by a round triangular mechanical structure, which can be unfolded when needed, basically adapting to all the equipment currently in service in Tartarus.

And as a mechanical civilization with the trait of [War Machine], any unit designed by the mastermind can be used on the battlefield—her power furnace has an output that exceeds what is necessary for daily operations. When necessary, the extra energy can be used Used to power weapons.Both of her hands can be equipped with a high-temperature gas compression cannon code-named 'Prometheus' specially designed for this type of robot, and she has a certain degree of combat capability.

Although her combat power is slightly lower than that of a standard marine, because her main ability lies in the statistics and planning of complex data, no one cares about combat power at all.

The production work of Tartarus is going on normally, thanks to the mechanical adjutant named Harpy.Because the performance is reliable enough, many people began to look forward to the day when Harpy will achieve mass production.

It is also because she is good enough that she can easily feel how bursting her chief's mood is at the moment.

Those are twenty iron-walled fortresses, not empty fortresses and front-line empty fortresses where you can build a lot of things casually.The materials and man-hours needed for the iron wall are by no means comparable to those of Empty Fortress. Even the current main battle group, the Fists of Tartarus, only have seven iron walls in their hands.

Yes, they are very expensive, but they do have the performance to live up to the price - as a habitation station, it has more living space than a colony; as a fortress, it has the firepower of multiple flagships; at the same time, it has the performance Excellent Planck container, even flagships such as light carriers and dreadnoughts can dock.

So here comes the question, what exactly are you going to do to need so many iron walls at once?Could it be that all of them are used to install the leap engine and changed into a star-based face-riding brigade?

Just when Habi made up his mind to say something, Xianyu Zhai sighed deeply at this moment:

"I also know that when 32 wants to do something, she basically has her reasons."

Although this guy is always making troubles, she has never messed around. Her acting style follows [rationality].Let's not talk about shipbuilding, Oregana is very good at using space buildings, and has a deep understanding of fortress groups and position building.

Oregana is good at building cities, and everyone in the Consolidation Department knows this.

"But twenty iron walls, isn't that too much?" Habi showed a troubled expression on his face, "Raw materials are not so abundant now..."

Twenty iron walls, it looks like a fool, but there must be a reason for her to do so.

Xianyuzhai nodded, expressing his agreement with what Habi said, turning the hilt of the lightsaber up and down in his hand:

"I've got to ask what's going on, and there's absolutely no joking around about it. But I guess it's not that urgent."

"It's not that urgent? What do you mean?" Happy patted his wings slightly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Literally." Xianyu Zhai said very confidently, "Boss doesn't need these twenty iron walls in a hurry. This can be seen from the fact that she shut down the phone immediately after sending the message."

It seems as if he wants to make trouble, but from this subconscious action, a sensible person can read very poisonous and important information.

"Oh?"

"If it is really urgent, the order information will be more detailed."

He still remembered the time when he strengthened the New Eden assault position. At that time, the order information given by Oregana was extremely detailed, and even a modified blueprint was attached, specifying the required functions of each fortress. Which part of the performance is reduced and which part of the performance is increased.Although complex, it is well organized.

While thinking, Xianyu Zhai said:

"Including when it is necessary, where to anchor, and even the transport troops will be mentioned. And if the situation is urgent, she will request to reduce the allocation of the iron wall to shorten the construction period-and in the process, the communication will always be maintained Usually, never cut off."

Happy tilted his head, and it took him a long time to understand.She was designed to co-ordinate complex production lines, but she's not very good at such non-digital speculation:

"Well, that makes sense." She asked, "Then why did she..."

"It must have been stimulated by something!" Xianyuzhai said loudly, "It must have been stimulated by something during the archaeological process, and I want to stay behind."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Yes," he nodded, stood up irritably, and picked up the electronic board from the table. "Although I really want to know what stimulated her, but I have too much work in hand, so I can't go to the scene to ask clearly." .Call Kameow at the scene."

"Hmm... By the way, don't you understand? But I think you seem a little... unhappy."

"Although it is understandable, no one will be happy because of working overtime." Xianyuzhai showed a tired expression on his face-although he has not received a loss report and is confident in Essex's command ability, but He just felt that those doomsday fearless who went to the Koprulu sector to perform missions probably would not be able to come back...
