Chapter 546: Resource Issues

But the advantages of this kind of assault ship are something that Wang Xiaodong and they can't ignore, after all, in the space war, it is still quite a headache for the enemy's individual weapons to attack, and this kind of assault ship solves this problem very well, so Wang Xiaodong and they decided to equip this kind of battleship and give her a name... Hedgehog-class assault ship.

Of course, this kind of small warship is like cannon fodder in the real advanced civilization war, so although this kind of warship has a length of one kilometer, basically all the functions in it are controlled by intelligent computers, as long as a small number of personnel are equipped, and you can even use intelligent driving directly, and there is no need for personnel to operate at all.

Therefore, this kind of spaceship is not worth the attention of the Ming Empire at all, but for the Baiyun civilization, this is already a behemoth, and they are already very satisfied with the existence of cannon fodder.

It is precisely because of the small size of this kind of warship, the simple production process, and the fact that the demand for resources is not very large, so tens of thousands of them have been produced in just a few months, and if the resources are sufficient, an average of 500 such assault ships can be produced per day.

And with the arrival of Zhu Lei's main fleet, the scale of production of this kind of assault ship is a qualitative leap, after all, Zhu Lei has thousands of such industrial ships in his main fleet, so the scale of production can be expanded hundreds or thousands of times.

In fact, although the Great Bull Empire is only a mixed civilization of technology and cultivation, Zhu Lei also clearly knows the combat methods of biological civilization through the plane mall, although the single unit of biological civilization may not be very good, and it may not be as good as other civilizations of the same level at all, and even compared with the secondary products of some civilizations, it is also slightly inferior, but biological civilization has means that other civilizations cannot reach, that is, the endless sea of creatures.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is very difficult for other civilizations to defeat biological civilizations of the same level, especially after entering the cosmic age, so generally speaking, the great civilizations in the universe will not provoke biological civilizations unless there are special circumstances.

And generally speaking, the Shen civilization has a strong sense of revenge and a strong aggressiveness, which is why other civilizations are so afraid of biological civilizations, especially energy civilizations, because energy civilizations are simply unable to use large-scale military forces to compete with biological civilizations because of their own reasons.

After all, the energy civilization actually has the same characteristics as the leisure civilization, that is, the individual combat power is very strong, and it can even shuttle through the universe physically, tearing warships and punching planets.

But when faced with an endless sea of creatures, how can the disadvantages of civilization be highlighted.

However, the various civilizations in the universe are mutually reinforcing, and the biological civilization is not invincible, and there are not no civilizations that can compete with the biological civilization, among which the scientific and technological civilization has a good way to compete with the biological civilization, that is, it uses the huge mechanical sea to fight against the biological civilization like the biological civilization, and the mechanical civilization has a greater advantage in comparison.

As long as there are enough resources and sufficient production tools, technological civilization can explode an endless number of unmanned combat weapons, but generally speaking, no mechanical civilization will do this.

After all, every scientific and technological civilization does its best to reserve various resources and develop various technologies, so that its civilization level can rise as soon as possible, so the space warships of scientific and technological civilization tend to get bigger and bigger, the degree of scientific and technological integration is getting higher and higher, and the combat effectiveness of the unit is getting stronger and stronger.

The development of large-scale unmanned mechanical weapons, for the overall scientific and technological strength of the entire civilization can not be improved at all, but will cause a huge waste of resources, not to mention that most of the enemies of scientific and technological civilization are often scientific and technological civilization itself, and the war between scientific and technological civilizations, the use of large-scale unmanned weapons is very unrealistic, not to mention the danger of intelligent mutiny, so generally speaking, scientific and technological civilization will not use intelligent weapons on a large scale if it is not a last resort.

Therefore, technological civilization is often in a disadvantageous position in the war with biological civilization, but if technological civilization is determined, then it will soon regain its advantage and suppress biological civilization.

But after the war, often this scientific and technological civilization will disappear into the universe, which is not unreasonable, because the scientific and technological civilization to launch a large-scale intelligent mechanical weapons war, the price it needs to pay is also quite huge, it can be said that it can only be launched by the power of the entire civilization, which requires absolute trust in the intelligent program they have developed, after all, once the intelligent betrayal, then the scientific and technological civilization is over.

Zhu Lei knows very well about the various types of civilizations in the universe, and he naturally knows very well the advantages and disadvantages of mechanical civilization.

Now that we know that the invading civilization in the globular cluster ahead is a biological civilization, then things are easy to do.

After all, the Ming Empire is not an ordinary scientific and technological civilization, and the intelligent programs developed by the Ming Empire do not need to be afraid of betrayal at all, and the globular star cluster in front of it has caused many planets to be broken due to war, so these broken planets can become good raw materials, and there is no need to consider the problem of lack of resources at all.

Therefore, what Zhu Lei needs to consider now is how to increase the production capacity of those industrial ships in the fleet, and the fight against biological civilization cannot be the same as in previous wars, relying only on high-end space warships, but also a huge number of low-level space warships.

When Zhu Lei and the others arrived, they immediately sent a large number of small spaceships to reconnoiter the surrounding area, and counted all the resources in the surrounding area and whether there were any hostile civilization wandering troops.

Although it is said that there is still a distance of more than a thousand light years from that globular star cluster, more than a thousand light years is not a very far distance for a fifth-level civilization, not to mention that the other party is a biological civilization and a sixth-level biological civilization, so Zhu Lei judged that there must be a patrol of the other party's civilization around this globular star cluster.

After all, if you want to cut off the connection between this globular star cluster and other civilizations, in addition to the natural artery such as wormholes, you also have to prevent the fifth-level civilization in this star cluster from directly sending spaceships to ask for help from other civilizations.

After all, as a sixth-level biological civilization, the other party does not lack biological warships.

There is also a lack of resources in this star system due to the war between the early Atlantean civilization and the Baiyun civilization, so far in just a few months, the Ming Empire has consumed most of the resources of the Atlantis civilization and the Baiyun civilization, although Wang Xiaodong has also mined a lot of resources during this time, but the resources in this star system are just a drop in the bucket for the large-scale manufacturing of warships, and the large-scale war is the resources and logistics, If there are not sufficient resources, no matter how powerful the Ming Empire is, it will not be able to defeat the other party.
