Chapter Seventy-Seven: Alternative Intelligence Lines

There is a lot of free material aid provided by neighboring countries for K11, and these countries also know that none of them can have good fruit to eat if K11 is broken, or where the insect swarm spreads, they will sit and wait for it to be completely wiped out, so they have to squeeze some out of their teeth more or less. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Much of the gratuitous material aid was at the disposal of the Empire and the Confederation, and now it was mainly invested in the construction of two new forts, and the remaining 20% was at the disposal of local proprietors - including Pan Wen, who owned the farm, of course, but the 20% figure was impossible for a small person like him to know.

Will the materials be allocated to the local industry, or will it be to maximize the use of resources? The foundation of the local industrial base is ready-made, and all have the ability to change orbits slowly, as long as a certain degree of modification is carried out, even if it cannot participate in high-intensity defense, at least it can make the reconnaissance system more reliable, which is not only lower than the current cost of building new facilities or mobilizing more fleets, but also much lower in the event of a stalemate in the future.

The materials are not money, and the new materials from the aid will not be much higher than the price of the old goods when they are brought to the underground market, so the materials allocated by Pan Wen are not exchanged for money, but honestly exchanged with other owners for the purpose of renovating the farm.

Pan Wen has no sense of dependence on the farm, and completely abandons arming in the modification, but prefers long-range tactical support, equipped with a deep space torpedo launch group and is carrying out magnetic interference modification.

Although they are both support weapons, the torpedo system is still very different from the missile system, the torpedo pays more attention to large caliber and large load, and the acceleration is slow, but it has a real super-long-distance range, and tens of millions of kilometers are commonplace. Of course, at such a distance, the firing mechanism is no longer able to provide the torpedo with target elements other than the approximate coordinates, and in combat missions, the torpedo is only responsible for striking at fixed targets that do not have much interception capability.

The enemy of K11 at the moment is a swarm, even if the swarm has any giant objects, things with hyperspace movement and conventional combat capabilities cannot be counted as fixed targets, and torpedoes cannot carry out combat missions in this environment. However, the small reconnaissance component is very scarce in the current K11, so only a small amount of magnetic interference bombs can be made first.

Back to the biter.

In recent days, the scale of the swarm's attack has been gradually reduced, and it is an obvious conspiracy, but it has been publicized by public opinion that the strength of the swarm is declining, and it is already the time for humanity to counterattack. Although Pan Wen's special operations team is also working hard, but the small voice is also drowned out by the general trend at the moment, it is obvious that K11 has been safe and sound for ten consecutive days, many people can't sit still, the ten galaxies in front of the KT star cluster have fallen, and whoever grabs it now is whoever, even if there may be bugs on the ground, the star resources are there, don't be in vain.

Under such public opinion, the empire and the confederation were divided. The Empire of Islam believes that K11 should wait for everything to be prepared before considering recovering those systems, while the Gaburi Federation decides that it can try to counterattack one or two systems first, and decide whether to continue defending K11 depending on the results.

It is not surprising that there will be disagreements, the current monarch of the empire is a conservative person, otherwise he would not have reigned for more than ten years without fighting a formal war with the Federation; The Federation will choose a more radical plan, purely because the financial and material consumption of K11 has a greater impact on a federal state, and it is necessary for them to end the high-consumption phase as soon as possible and reduce the war maintenance cost.

The Empire's conservatism saved everyone's lives, and the Federation was unwilling to leave its fleet alone without the Empire's cooperation, so it initiated new regulations to encourage civilian armed forces to assemble as a leading force, and promised the right of first refusal after the war.

The right of first refusal in the interstellar era is a wonderful thing, take the D21 development company as an example, it is the first company in the Haimer galaxy to complete the industrial chain level development, and after obtaining the privatization license of the interstellar court, it actually has the right of first refusal to develop the D21 satellite of Haimer Star. In the face of this right, even if any force establishes a country in the Haimo system, it can only levy average tariffs from D21 Development Company and cannot levy industrial tax and resource tax, before D21 is fully developed, D21 Development Company does not need to buy land or purchase use/development rights, and without industrial tax and other taxes, the cost of sales in the galaxy will be much lower than that of ordinary enterprises, as long as the management is not too outrageous, the company with the right of first refusal can easily develop into the largest local enterprise even if it starts small.

For areas that have fallen to K1 to K10, the right of first refusal means that there is no need to bear any taxes and will be protected before the ownership is completed, and there is no need to pay much resource cost in subsequent development.

The promise of a right of first refusal does not consume any of the resources available to the Commonwealth, and it is a very pleasant thing to give a strong incentive to ambitious people. After all, in the subsequent partition, due to the separation of at least two relay points from K1 to K10 to the territory of the Empire and the Federation, and in addition to maintaining the image or eating appearance, it is unlikely that the two sides will directly take the territory, and the priority development rights given through the Interstellar Tribunal will only benefit their own family and will not have more losses.

However, the Empire has not followed up on the Federation's strategy, and the huge private armed group that has just arrived in K11 today is still waiting to wait for the area where the swarm is likely to break through.

The private forces of the Federation were divided into two parts, a large wave remained in K11, and the other quarter began to assemble, and from the direction of the assembly, it seemed that they were going to K7.

K7 is the most strategically important galaxy in the interstellar bridge until the initial star K1 of the KT cluster, because it is the only region in the region that can cover a total of six galaxies from K5 to K11, not to mention that there is a high-clarity gold planet that the swarm can never use.

The study of insect swarms has not yet yielded concrete results, but it is a well-established fact that K7E1 cannot be used by insect swarms, after all, insect swarms are living organisms and need elemental diversity, which is obviously not provided by the Golden Planet, which is 60% clear and has almost no hydrogen and oxygen in its thin atmosphere.

It's a pity that this wave of civilian armed forces has not yet entered the jump procedure, and there are already countless people who are looking down behind their backs.

For example, on a heavy patrol ship from a federal district, there is such a conversation.

"Why don't we join in the fun?"

"Are you stupid? This group of bugs looks like that boss, you look at the history books, what kind of boss is so stupid? Can someone cut off the sortie route in the middle? "Anno boss is a taboo word even for players, even if the person you're talking to is the same player.

"If you can't beat it, you can run, you see that there are a lot of boats going this time."

The player who objected shook his head: "It looks like a lot, but if you look at the ones that remain, everyone doesn't believe that this scale can cause much trouble to that boss, don't take me with you if you die." ”

In fact, most of the civilian armed forces that are preparing to enter K7 this time are not the player's ships, but the melon-eating masses who can't recognize the overall situation.

It took some time for the melon-eating fleet to assemble, and finally after confirming that a wave of weak swarms from K7 had invaded K11, the jump program was immediately activated.

And then...... There was no then, and this fleet, with a total number of about a thousand small and medium-sized warships, disappeared into the long river of time. Well, it seems a bit inappropriate to conclude that there is no and then, as the swarm was attacked by the K7 swarm about six hours after the fleet had completed its disengagement.

With the Federation and Empire totaling more than two thousand ships of all types, as well as the larger forces of players and other civilian forces, the swarm attack still dismantled most of the scouting equipment around the jump point.

The attack wasn't very large, slightly stronger than the first two days of the Imperial and Federation fleets stationed in K11, but the targeted tactical attacks didn't leave much time for the human fleet to react, and the swarm was just staring at the reconnaissance equipment.

The rest of the matter is troublesome, and it takes a lot of ships to make up for it, or to send a large force for a counteroffensive without getting any valid K7 information.

In the face of the swarm, the effective space that a conventional ship can warn of is only equivalent to four to eight scouts, and filling the gaps in an area with a radius of more than one million kilometers will cause the official guard force in other directions to be greatly weakened, and the swarm that can perform tactical attacks is likely to have the next tactical move.

The re-offensive is even more embarrassing, the empire and the federation have no right to directly order the civilian armed forces to carry out designated cooperation in overseas operations, not to mention that a re-offensive without intelligence support cannot guarantee life or death at all, even if it is just a suggestion, it may affect the official path for the rest of his life.

In the case of difficult choices, in the end, the players came out of the way, and some warships consciously entered the corresponding jump zone of K7 to patrol, so that as long as the logistics were in place, the reconnaissance system in the area could be redeployed.

In this kind of strategic-level attack and defense, players use the forum to exchange information beyond time and space and death, and without anyone understanding the situation, they have collected a small amount of information about the dead player, and it can basically be judged that K7 is likely to be the center of the swarm front.

The ability to obtain such a level of information depends on the player's ability system.

From the beginning of the Galactic Era, the player's ability system is completely different from that of the aborigines, and the various skills of the aborigines are super jumps, and each level and each level is very different, and it is difficult for one person to master multiple abilities. The player's ability system is to run in small steps, the level gap is small, and the improvement is not obvious, but today, some players with a very high level have been able to develop special talents, even much stronger than high-level NPCs in some fields.

For example, in the intelligence collection during this death operation, it was a few players who took the driving specialization route who made great contributions. On the NPC's side, the driving specialization is a full-stage general license, and only the secondary license has a class difference to produce some combat gaps, and there may be more differences depending on the intelligence level of the NPC itself, but overall it is not too outrageous. The player's non-offensive piloting specialization tendency allows these small aircraft to gain super-godlike evasion and mobility, and the smaller the aircraft, the more obvious the effect, especially when dealing with non-sustained jet attacks of the swarm.

This time, it was the fighter pilots of several players who dodged countless swarm attacks, and accidentally observed the super-large distribution area of the swarm, judging by the frequency and intensity of the attacks they experienced before they died, suppressed the swarm of this death operation, which only accounted for one-twentieth of the total number of K7 swarms at most! This is an extremely frightening number, and it can even be asserted that without some powerful weapons and a relatively reliable anti-stealth network, this wave of K11 is likely to drown K11.
