From the beginning to the basic end that ordinary Federation people could see, the war lasted for a total of twelve days, which was longer than Wu Xiaoqing expected.

In 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 them once every two days.

The amount of information contained in these eight battle reports, Wu Xiaoqing and the others held a full five consultation meetings, but they still have not fully interpreted it, and now they are holding the sixth meeting.

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

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

“…… I have to remind you that it has already been mentioned in the fifth war report that the federal civilization has already foreshadowed the outcome of the war, from the upper echelons of their government to the lower levels of the people, they have long known the outcome of this defeat, but in the end they still increased their troops......"

...... "Why?" Because for their politicians, the investment in this campaign is a very 'profitable' business in a short period of time, and they make a lot of money, so let's go back to the third report, note that there is a detail mentioned here, on average, for every person killed on the battlefield, the conscription department can receive more than three applications for enlistment! ……”

Wu Xiaoqing's movements on his hand paused, but not because of the content of this spokesperson, but because he was thinking about the author of this battle report.

He and Shen Changwen now have a strange feeling, every time they are in the search and rescue ship, when they receive a new report, when they see the content of the report, the two of them can almost feel it, the two people who wrote the report seem to be themselves, it seems that they have experienced countless things that they can't imagine in that completely unfamiliar civilized world, and then record all this information one by one and spread it to the entire starry sky through radio waves......

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

But after the fifth piece of information, this suspicion began to dissipate.

Because there are countless verifiable details in the intelligence, almost every detail can be confirmed to be true. This includes the current progress of the Black Star Campaign, as well as the deployment of the entire coalition force within the system.

From the perspective of the earthlings, there is no doubt that this information is a military secret of the highest level.

But here in the coalition and the intellectuals, it is clearly not. All of this information is open in the Federation's cyber world - as long as it is not a harsh and immediate need of the combat environment, the fleet in space is actually the most unconcealable existence, no matter what planet you are on, as long as you are willing to take the time to find it, you can see it all clearly with a random high-powered telescope.

In addition to military information, there is also a large amount of internal political information in the Federation, a considerable part of which relates to the current attitude of the Federation people towards the war.

In the report, all sources of information are well-founded, and there are even specific figures, as well as the history of the figures.

After this information was passed on to Evgeny, Evgeny would check it with the Mind individually to verify the reliability of the information. In order to gain their trust, the intellectuals will also explain the ins and outs of these reliability while giving verification—all the elaboration processes are also appended in the news from Yevgeny.

In this information, as well as the corresponding explanations and elaborations, a completely three-dimensional federal world is almost constructed, from their history to the present cultural and political state...... It can even correspond to the origin of every artificial satellite in the vicinity of every planet......

This information can be easily verified by a search and rescue vessel.

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

It's easy to write a single ordinary source of disinformation, just like writing a short story about a novel, with a well-crafted story and reliable evidence, it's easy to come out. For example, why the planet is brighter than the others at a certain moment in the Federation, the intelligence can easily explain it - the destination area has begun to be updated in several major games recently, the proportion of people returning to reality has increased, and the entertainment consumption of the planet has intensified......

But if it is the disinformation of the system, such as the 13 planets that the Federation now controls, 3 of them are completely gray, 5 are normal, two have frequent earthquakes, and three are uninhabited...... What is the reason? Military control, immigration, large-scale industrial projects...... There are detailed analyses in the report, and there are historical records for these analyses, all of which can be accurately corresponded to the historical data on the intellectual side.

This almost confirms the reliability of this intelligence source.

What concerns Wu Xiaoqing more than reliability is the forward-looking nature of this information.

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

It's the war, it's the attitude of the Commonwealth towards aliens, it's their current situation, and what has to do with the intellect.

In the information transmitted back, there was indeed some information in this regard, but obviously, with 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 were already in the report, showing considerable tendencies, and most of the content in their reports 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 from the report - and the reason for the analysis was based on some of their strategies in the game.

According to the report's analysis, the war will continue to prolong, and the Federation will continue to replenish its army - even if the battle is already doomed.

The rationale for this, which is detailed later in the fifth report, is that it is a scoring move for federal politicians.

Sending one or two million soldiers to death would allow the government to get four or five million new soldiers—war is a numbers game for the federal government.

This number certainly does not rise indefinitely, and as the casualty toll mounts, the fear of war quickly overwhelms the enthusiasm for intellectual revenge - and the game even takes this into account, and comes up with one or two million, which is the most plausible number in the game. Interestingly and ironically, in the end, the federal government made the same decision as the report predicted, no more, no less, no less than 1.6 million people.

In this Battle of Blackstar, the Federation lost more than five million men and more than four million ships. Because it is a planetary defense war, many people return to the planet in an escape pod after the ship loses power, and then go to the battlefield again.

This is of course extreme bad news for the federal army, but for the federal government, it is great news.

In this short period of 12 days, the federal government received nearly 30 million applications for enlistment - the battle destroyed nearly three fleets of the Federation, but the Federation received enough manpower to rebuild fifteen.

All of these men are armed, and with the existing federal military forces, the total number of military personnel will exceed 100 million, and the number of warships will exceed tens of millions.

Of course, there is still a huge disparity in terms of intelligence and physique, but this is only the beginning.

According to Wu Qing's deduction in their report, if the war continues, the federal power will turn on the propaganda machine and continue to agitate for the war, and soon the size of the army can be dramatically expanded. - They've proven it in the game, and it's a common way for Federation players to play.

"......It's been verified in the game," Wu Xiaoqing took a sip of coffee, repeating this sentence like an aftertaste, and then turned on the headset and said to the search and rescue team, "For them, things in reality have to be verified in the game...... In the same way that many problems on Earth are explained, such as underground nuclear tests, some kind of computer model is built to verify them, is this behavior a common feature in advanced civilizations? ”

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

"We are ...... than we are"

Wu Xiaoqing nodded, but his smile faded quickly, and he said worriedly: "But ...... How can we get them back? ”

"Rescued?" The search and rescue team said, "Do you think it's a good thing for them?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing was in a trance for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of the search and rescue team.

Let's not talk about the return of those who can't be saved, even if they are rescued, what can they do? Is there a place on earth where they stay?

Not to mention, the Federation's computer technology has surpassed the earth for many generations, and the report sent back by "Shen Changwen" specifically mentioned the other party's computer technology - the use of atomic-level storage devices, and the computing speed of the computer is beyond the imagination of the earthlings - not to mention the scale.

In the Federation, almost all planets do not have geothermal energy, and all geothermal sources have only one source - and that is the heat emitted by computers when they are used.

Even if all the computing resources of the earthlings were piled together, they would not be able to support any of the virtual games of the Federation, let alone run it as a whole.

Just as it will be difficult for modern people to survive when they return to primitive society, the gap between the federal civilization and the earth civilization is even greater than this, allowing "Wu Xiaoqing" and "Shen Changwen" to return to the earth - strictly speaking, after they were created by the simulation program, except for the similarity of the logical mechanism of thinking, Wu Qing and Wu Xiaoqing are no longer the same species at all.

"The biggest problem right now is not the problem of getting them out," the search and rescue team said, "and we may even need to tell them if necessary...... Let them work with the federal government. ”

"Cooperation?" Now Wu Xiaoqing's brain reacted quickly, and after he figured out the logic of the search and rescue team, the whole person instantly had an indescribable anger, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

But the anger was held back in his mind for a while, and soon it gradually cooled down with the thinking in his brain.

Yes, cooperation, in addition to cooperation...... Wu Qing, what other future can they talk about?

The reason is clear, and the greatest purpose of their trip is to resolve the contradictions between these two civilizations...... It is to keep these two civilizations from suffering the doom of destruction because of war. But now, at least from what we know so far, they are very difficult to recover.

On the one hand, they have completely fallen out with the federal government, and let them continue to negotiate with the federal government, and the basic trust between them is of course gone. On the other hand, the results of the war between the federal government and the intellect are also obvious.

Even though the Federation is trying their best to mobilize the war potential, in Wu Xiaoqing's view, it is just a dying struggle. According to the data in the Wu Qing report, the probability of the federal government being able to win, and the most optimistic analysis will not exceed five percent.

This five percent is also based on Wu Qing and Shen Wen - that is, if the federal government can find Wu Qing and them, they can have this shabby chance of winning.

And if this factor is left aside, the chances of victory for the Federation immediately become less than 0.05 percent......

Theoretical opportunities still exist, but slim ones seem to nonexist.
