"No news from the task force yet?"

Faced with Zhuang Bifan's question that he asked from time to time, Hei Yan still gave a negative answer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called task force fleet in Zhuang Bifan's mouth was sent by Zhuang Bifan to the five general-class motherships of the 032 galaxy.

They had several encounters with the Guthira fleet. was even surrounded and suppressed by the other party. It's just that they "bully the weak and fear the hard", eat enemies weaker than themselves when they encounter them, and quickly flee the battlefield by relying on space replacement when they encounter a large army of encirclement and suppression. Their losses are not significant.

It's just that they have been looking for more than ten years, and they have not been able to find their target.

The same question, the same answer, has been repeated hundreds of times, so Zhuang Bifan will not be disappointed. He asked, "Has there been any change in production?"

"The pace of warship production is steadily increasing. The number of shipyards put into operation has not changed, but the number of shipyards under construction has increased by sixteen. The number of material reactors and production capacity have not changed, and the number under construction has increased by six. The comparison number that Hei Yan said was the data from the last time Zhuang Bifan asked a similar question.

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "What about planetary transformation?"

"The number of planets that have been preliminarily modified has increased by six hundred and twelve. ”

That's not much, but it's only a month's time, and it's already fast.

"How many new ships have been built?"

"More than 8,600 new capital warships and 17 command ships. ”

The pace of production of battleships is a bit unsatisfactory. However, he knew that it was because some shipyards were producing new ones, and the rate of warship production had to be reduced somewhat.

However, Hei Yan said: "At present, eighty-six planets have built planetary surface shipyards, and another 1,600 planets are also accelerating the construction of similar shipyards. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said he knew.

The volume of the matter reactor is larger than a single earth, and it requires far more resources than a mothership. But it's definitely worth the expense of those resources. Because such a reactor can produce one trillion tons of metal from other substances in a year. And after the ignition is successful, there is no need to consume much energy.

With a steady stream of metal production, the production of battleships can continue.

Although Zhuang Bifan's fleet used the artificial space to carry a large amount of resources, he had considered the possibility of not being able to connect to the Black Flame Space from the beginning. So most of the resources carried by the fleet are semi-metallic elements. It was a resource unique to Space 2, and it was a necessary resource for the fleet's armor and weapons. The more he carries, the more his fleet can be replenished or expanded with the technology available. Otherwise, no matter how much metal he is given, he will not be able to build a battleship as powerful as the existing warships.

The fleet brought few metal resources, but more than five hundred material reactors. Now the production of battleships is not high, but it is only temporary. When resource production is raised, it is not impossible to produce new motherships.

In fact, it also depends on his choice. If he wants to produce as many ships as possible in a short period of time, he can actually devote all his resources and productivity to producing ships. But that's not a long-term solution.

He thought of Sima Yun, who was working on his new home in the New Earth, so he said to Hei Yan, "How is the defense system of the New Earth arranged?"

"Production is underway at full speed. The synchronization ring will be completed in another six months, and the defense system of the two satellites has been completed by more than 60%. The energy support works for the defense system have been completed. The energy system of the new earth is also almost complete. More than 930 satellites have been built for the shield matrix, which will soon be delivered to the new earth for deployment. The surface defense system has also been completed by more than 70%. In addition, the space floating battery has been deployed as planned. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "The Reaper may come at any time." Those projects that are not completed need to be accelerated. ”

The New Earth is a celestial body that orbits in a fixed orbit and is very mobile in terms of defense. He had seen the image of the Three-Eyed People's administrative star being invaded, so he was very concerned about the defense of the new earth.

In order to prevent the new earth from being attacked from space, he arranged a five-layer defense ring for the new earth.

The outermost part is the two satellites of the new earth, they are basically made into two fortresses, the synchronous orbit near the outer surface of their atmosphere is full of kinetic energy cannons and various laser cannons, there are a large number of kinetic energy close defense weapons on the surface, and there is a layer of hundreds of satellites with a diameter of five kilometers away from them, this kind of satellite is actually a kind of warship that relies on satellite energy, which can not only be used for attack, but also form a protective shield with extremely high energy level.

The second layer is a synchronous ring 130,000 kilometers above the equatorial surface of the New Earth. This synchronous ring consists of 24 arc-shaped boxes with a width of 10 kilometers and a thickness of 1 kilometer and a length of 6,000 kilometers, between which are connected by six circular pipes with a certain elasticity and a diameter of 350 meters. There were 24,000 high-energy laser guns on the outside and on both sides of each box. It can also form a protective shield with a strength of 480,000 with 3,600 artificial satellites in space.

The third layer is 1,800 floating artillery batteries deployed 50,000 kilometers into space. These cigar-shaped turrets, only about 500 meters in diameter, are equipped with only a single-barreled shaped cannon, which can fire a shaped cannon with a mass of five kilograms and a speed of more than eight light seconds. Although the rate of fire was slow because of the recoil. But this is a counterattack weapon that can pose a great threat to the incoming enemy.

The fourth layer is the energy field shield matrix formed by 1,000 and 24 satellites with a diameter of five kilometers located more than 10,000 kilometers in space. It can provide 640,000 strength shields with a thickness of 10 kilometers, and each satellite is equipped with 600 close-in anti-laser guns to deal with kinetic weapons that slip through the net under the second layer of interception.

The fifth layer, of course, is the defensive weapon system deployed on the surface. In the defense system of the new earth, it is no longer the use of railroads or warships like the earth. On land, the firing positions of shaped guns are directly deployed in some places with good geology. One hundred and twenty mothership guns and hundreds of laser guns were deployed in each position, in addition to a large number of kinetic close defense weapons. There are as many as 1,800 such positions, spread across all continents, and even on some islands. In the ocean, it is deployed on oval-shaped artificial floating islands with an area of more than 10,000 kilometers. In the middle of each floating island there are four shaped gun positions.

It can be said that in terms of defense, in addition to the lack of armor, the defense of the new earth is even stronger than that of the Yanhuang.

He also clearly said these to Sima Yun, implying that he really wanted to have a stable home. But he did so only to emphasize to himself in this way: the new earth must be preserved.

Zhuang Bi had a detailed understanding of the deployment of the New Earth's defense system. Immediately afterwards, he routinely summoned Koster and asked him if he had any important information in the previous month.

Koster only told him a few things about the various indigenous civilizations, and of course mainly about the advanced civilizations. Two years ago, the advanced civilizations finally noticed that some of the nearby galaxies were being taken over by a single civilization.

The sudden emergence of a powerful high-level civilization is certainly impossible for these high-level civilizations that were originally competing for hegemony in this galaxy cluster.

"They also seem to have a bit more rapprochement with each other because of our actions. Coster concluded.

After Zhuang Bifan heard what he said, he said, "Since what they have done is only defense. As long as they don't provoke us, we don't need to be nervous. ”

"I see. "Koster knows that the most important thing now is to build strength, not to get entangled with indigenous civilizations. But he felt that he might be able to communicate with these advanced civilizations. "Wang, I suggest sending someone to communicate with those advanced civilizations. If we could join forces with them, maybe we would be less stressed. ”

Zhuang Bifan thought for a moment, although he felt that even if he sent someone to tell those civilizations that there would be a dangerous high-level foreign civilization coming soon, the other party might not believe it. But it's not a big deal to communicate with the other person.

In fact, he felt that those high-level civilizations were wary of him, and it was also beneficial to those civilizations. At least they won't slack off on the military side during these times. There is pressure to be motivated.

However, if the other party believes it, they can also be more mentally prepared when the reaper comes.

He nodded and said, "You sent someone to contact the Kaffatra civilization. If the other person doesn't plan to get in touch with us, forget it. ”

Before Koster left, he added, "Although you have some reconnaissance ships deployed along the edge of this cluster, it is still too passive. You deploy some more than 30 million light-years around the galaxy cluster. ”

Koster felt that Zhuang Bifan was too nervous. Although the civilization that seems to be a reaper is powerful, the fleet that comes may not really be stronger than theirs.

Nearly 50 million capital warships, and more than 1,500 motherships. The technology of the eighth-level civilization. In addition, there are more than three billion dark energies. With such strength, even if it encounters the main fleet of the Reaper, it has the capital to fight. And he felt that even if it was really a book reaper civilization, it would be a detachment at most.

However, he didn't want to disobey Zhuang Bifan's order, so he nodded and said, "Yes." However, it may take tens of thousands of reconnaissance ships to complete the deployment and control of such a large area. ”

Tens of thousands of reconnaissance ships are indeed a big number, but Zhuang Bifan thinks that is not a waste.

Koster didn't make any further suggestions.

A few days later, Coster communicated with Zhuang Bifan in the New Earth, and Zhuang Bifan learned that none of the three advanced civilizations in the Kafatra system seemed to believe the person sent to communicate.

Zhuang Bifan is not reluctant. Anyway, it won't be him who will be hurt by then.

After interrupting the communication with Koster, he frowned and used the holographic projection panel to check the development of each galaxy.

He and Sima Yun now live in a house on New Earth, which is their temporary home. Sima Yun brought the last two dishes out of the kitchen and put them on the table, looked back at him and frowned, and reminded him: "Let's eat first and then watch." ”

After eating, the two sat side by side and watched the holographic projection. Sima Yun seemed to ask unintentionally, "You seem to have been worried lately." Is something wrong with other galaxies?"

Zhuang Bifan hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't continue to hide it from her: "No." I'm worried. ”

"What are you worried about?" Sima Yun had long sensed that he had been a little uneasy lately. It's just that she knows that men will have something to do in some situations and don't want to say it to women. So although she noticed that something was wrong with Link, she never asked. But now that he had a sign that he wanted to say, she asked.

Zhuang Bifan briefly explained the situation they might face, put his arm around her and said, "You know what? With a beautiful girl like you in love, you even have the power to control everything. It was like being the protagonist of a novel overnight, omnipotent! That made me feel unreal all the time. I was worried that I would suddenly wake up from this dream and suddenly lose everything. ”

Sima Yun leaned on his shoulder, listened to him quietly, raised his head and stretched out his hand to turn his head to himself, and said seriously: "No matter what the universe becomes, as long as I live, I will be by your side!"
