239 Contact with Tezon (Part I)
The news brought by Raccoon Hill made Bai Zhongqi feel a little nervous, and the fleet sent by the Tyzyen to the Danlu Starcloud was larger than they had predicted before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Tyzyn Empire said in the news of the restoration of Haras that they would send a fleet of 1,000 warships, but the information obtained by Raccoon Hill showed that Tyzyn sent a large fleet of more than 1,000 warships, as well as a mobile fleet of dozens of ships per fleet in the future.
The Tyzyn civilization's covetousness for the Danlu Interstellar Cloud may need to be re-evaluated. In order to take down the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, these lizardmen even did not hesitate to sell the planets in the frontier area in exchange for more military expenses and resources. In terms of military capabilities, the Tezon Empire has a large army and weapons of war, but to send such a large army to carry out missions thousands of light-years away, it needs to provide a huge amount of logistical supplies. In addition, in terms of planet development and utilization, the ability of the Tezon people is insufficient, and there has even been a practice of outsourcing the work of planet construction to other civilizations in the past.
Bai Zhongchu's mind began to quickly sum up this matter, "Tezien's fleet has already hit the road, but depending on the situation, it should only be a group of advance fleets, and a larger fleet may still be in the preparation stage, or after departure, rest in other star fields first, wait for the follow-up logistics to arrive, and then have the ability to continue this invasion." ”
In fact, Bai Zhongchu's speculation is very close to reality, and basically any civilization's war behavior against other civilizations will go through a period of preparation. And Tezen's attack on Earth across thousands of light years requires a huge amount of preparation.
Unlike the Iridium civilization, the Iridium can use atomic equipment to build various supplies they need, such as ammunition and military supplies, wherever they drive their fleets. However, in a military civilization as common as Tyzyn, conducting a space war is somewhat similar to a war on Earth. The fleet's movements are constrained by supply lines, and if the supply lines are too long, then the entire fleet is more dangerous.
The difference between the Tyzyn civilization and other civilizations is that they also have the habit of feeding war with war, and this group of lizardmen will cause endless killing and suffering wherever they pass, they will directly capture the creatures on the passing planet as their own rations, rob their goods, and convert them into war capabilities.
This time, the Tyzyons also wanted to be safe and defeat Iridium, a civilization with a higher civilization level than them, so they sent more warships, but this also caused more difficult supplies. It was absolutely impossible for the Tezen to jump from the Treasure Box Star Field to the Danlu Interstellar Cloud in one go. They will stop at least a few times during the voyage to raid the surrounding planets and replenish the fleet's needs, and then continue their sorties.
"That way, we might have more time."
However, the next news that Raccoon Hill told him made his mood tense again.
"These Tezyens don't usually come to Servant Ping'a, a few months ago they made a big deal in Servant Ping'a, exchanged Wrap8 engines with the Polkay civilization, and now they are running to raise military funds." Raccoon Hill didn't realize how much the news he said had shocked Bai Zhongchu.
In the previous anti-aggression preparation timetable made by Bai Zhongchu, Wrap7 was used as a speed measure, which is also the information that Tezen himself said.
However, Tezien actually updated the main engine of the battleship a few months ago, and used the technology of the Polkay civilization to upgrade the original Wrap7 spaceship to the level of Wrap8. Wrap8 means that the battleship can reach 1,000 times the speed of light, and the time to reach the Danlu Interstellar Cloud from the Treasure Box Star Field has been shortened to a little more than a year.
"These damn lizardmen, they've been exchanging information with us all along, but they've deliberately withheld such important information, could it be that they've seen through my deception? But they kept asking the fake Haras for information. Bai Zhongchu couldn't help but groan,
After calming down, Bai Zhongchu knew that this change had not changed much of his timetable. The movements of the Tezon are relatively fast, but after all, this is a long-distance attack of thousands of light years, and the Tezon Empire has also expanded the size of the fleet, just preparing logistics, it has already required personal orders. Tyzon would stop a few times during the voyage, hunting on his own and waiting for supplies to arrive.
As a result, the two-year preparation period predicted by Pak should be less variable.
Bai Zhongchu took a look at the main needs of the Tezien people who came to Ping'an to trade this time, and the largest quantity was energy storage batteries. The vast majority of Tezen's weapons, from small light rifles to large fighter jets, require the energy supply of these energy storage batteries. The technical level of the energy storage batteries they purchased is not high, not to mention the level of energy wallets, and the degree of Iridium handed over to the earthlings is far less than that.
Tezien's own energy technology is not high, and these things can usually be produced by themselves, which are not so good, but at a critical moment, Tezien needs a batch of better energy supply devices.
There are also a variety of other things, including detectors for optical search, various sensors mounted on soldiers or vehicles, robots and engineering equipment for engineering, supplies for the maintenance of warships and fighters, and even a large number of textiles.
This even made Bai Zhongchu a little suspicious that there was no similar strategic reserve warehouse at all.
Raccoon Hill said: "It seems that the Tezyons, who are used to bullying weak civilizations, have picked an opponent similar to them this time." In the past, they would not have used such high-end things, but this time they can choose the best, and they will use the best, obviously their opponents cannot be taken lightly. ”
Bai Zhongchu nodded.
"Get in touch with the Tyzyons, we're going to do business with them. It's too much trouble to buy their planet, our Eagle Shield civilization has little interest in a cosmic enclave, and their asking price is too high to be in our interest. But I'm interested in getting a batch of slaves sold by the Tezons. ”
Of course, Raccoon Hill knew that it was impossible for him, a customer, to have the money to buy a planet, and among the planets that Tezien sold at a price this time, the cheapest one was also worth 20 million servants.
When Tanqiu heard that Bai Zhongchu wanted to buy slaves, he thought he understood something, and hurriedly said: "If you are a slave, the price is not very expensive, and Tezien has brought some good goods this time, boss, have you heard of Scarlet Juxing?" The Scarlet Ju people are a group of primates with cat ears and cat tails, and I heard that during the second civilization boom, the Scarlet Ju people were still a high civilization, and I don't know why they have declined into an interstellar civilization now. Tyzyn has conquered Crimson and found it more cost-effective to sell these rarer primates than to eat them. Some of the guests who bought these Scarlet Star slaves said that they were good after using them......"
