Dingbei air strike carrier, bridge conference room.

On the broad main seat, Xie Ning was sitting there, and to his left, gradually sat the commanders of the Dingbei formation, Sun, Wang and other units. To his right, there were Yang Xiao and other former guards and Academician Qian sitting on his right.

Xie Ning was looking to the left at this time and asked in a deep voice.

"Two long ...... Two generals, I now need a detailed report on the composition of the Dingbei formation and the current combat strength. ”

"Xie Jiang...... Sir. Chief of Staff Sun nodded, and he had already reported first: "The Dingbei Formation Demon Fleet is composed of two new air attack carriers, Dingbei and Zhenbei, a double air carrier formation, a frigate formation composed of twelve Mingshan-class frigates, and a logistics formation composed of three new supply ships, medical ships, and food supply ships. The ship has a fixed number of 12,000 armed men, including 6,000 naval armored troops, 1,000 naval air attack armored troops, 5,000 marines armed with magical troops, and 1,000 logistical and technical personnel. ”

"At present, Dingbei and Zhenbei are slightly injured, but they can also exert their maximum combat power. The Mingshan-class frigate sank one in battle, seriously damaged two ships, and the slight injuries ranged from one to eighty percent of its combat power. There was no damage to the logistics formation. There are also more than 9,000 magic soldiers on the ship. ”

……

"I heard that the Dingbei formation is a new type of formation that the empire has tried to configure for global strategy, and the logistics formation has a nuclear crystal production line, which is responsible for providing power and firepower for the whole formation?" Academician Qian suddenly interjected and asked.

"Yes, Academician. In addition to hospital ships and food supply ships, the logistics formation also includes a large nuclear crystal production and supply ship, a medium-sized magic crystal production and supply ship, a medium-sized accessories production and supply ship, and more than 1,000 technical personnel of various types -- they are three super floating factories developed by the empire for global strategy. ”

"Theoretically, the Dingbei formation can maneuver to any sea area in the world at sea without any home port, and fight alone for several months to a year. If it can continue to obtain sufficient food supplies and material supplies, the Dingbei formation can even be said to be a permanent, floating military base on the sea. Where Dingbei is located, that is, where the tip of the imperial sword is. ”

Chief of Staff Sun replied proudly.

"Oh......"

Academician Qian nodded and turned to Shainin. Her face was already full of enthusiasm and impatience: "Your Highness, please allow me to retire first." The unknown is just around the corner, the conditions are already in place, and I can't help you with your military meeting. I would like to immediately organize a scientific expedition to go to the nuclear crystal production supply ship, and use their large equipment combined with the equipment in our hands to continue to study the ring. ”

Xie Ning smiled and watched Academician Qian leave in a hurry.

……

Afterwards, Deputy Commander Wang also began to speak.

"Sir, the Dingbei Formation Navy Demon Combat Team has three brigades and four hundred air carrier brigades. It was stationed on the second ship of Dingzhen. The frigate group of 1,200 people was stationed on each ship of the escort formation. The logistics brigade has 200 people, stationed on each ship of the logistics formation. There are more than 1,800 people in total: including one Sky Demon Battle, several Sky Demon Battles, more than a dozen Earth Demon Battles, two hundred Intermediate Demon Battles, and 1,600 low-level Demon Battles. ”

"At present, nearly half of our demon team has been damaged. More than 700 people have been killed, and nearly 300 have been seriously wounded. There are more than 800 people with available combat power, including two people in the Sky Demon War, seven people in the Earth Demon War, more than 100 people in the Intermediate Demon War, and more than 700 people in the Low-level Demon War. ”

"With the addition of the remnants of the scientific expedition escort group and the Weibei formation demon battle team you brought, our mid- and low-level demon battles have added more than 100 people and hundreds of people, barely approaching their heyday. However, the lack of high-level combat power has made our current combat power ...... It's still worrying. ”

Deputy Commander Wang said in a low voice.

……

"Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Looking at the unconsciously tapping his fingers lightly on the table. It seemed that Xie Ning, who was in deep thought, Chief of Staff Sun was silent for a long time, and asked hopefully.

"For now...... No. Xie Ning smiled bitterly.

"There's no room left...... I've told you about the situation at the beginning. It was a successful test when we came, and I was able to get us to navigate the chaos zone safely. But once in the chaos zone, our fleet is no longer combat-powered. And under the anger of the barbarians, they will not hesitate to pursue at a high level. He sighed lowly.

"Is there really no way......" Chief of Staff Sun muttered.

"General Sun, I have to remind you. There is a way to fight, and there is no way to fight. Sooner or later, there will be a war between us and the barbarians. Commander Zhou handed over the formation to me. I think the greatest intention is also to let me command you how to get the greatest loss from the barbarians in the battle that follows, rather than how to retreat - of course, it is better to escape. ”

Xie Ning looked at him and said in a deep voice.

……

"Yes...... Sir, you're right. Chief of Staff Sun said bitterly: "Now, the fleet has been brought into the Jedi by me, and I can only resign myself to fate......

He sighed faintly.

"General, you don't have to be like that. In fact, anyone in such a situation can only delay the time of death by tactics at best...... You didn't delay long enough, but you were decent - and it wasn't easy to do that in a hurry. ”

Shainin was comforted.

It's just, who's going to comfort me......

But he thought silently in his heart.

Am I going to be the first commander of the Empire's Empty Mother Formation to die in battle within a few days of taking office? What about Academician Qian? And also...... Father and mother, little sister, Su Su......

Really, just fell into the Jedi?

The young general thought deeply in his heart.

……

"In this way, the two generals, as well as the commanders of each formation, as well as Colonel Yang and Lieutenant Colonel Xiao. Let's discuss it first, and see if we can find some inspiration in our respective ideas. ”

"If you have any ideas, even if you speak, even if it is unbelievable, you will put it forward for your reference. Brainstorming and uniting as one, maybe we can find a way? ”

"And if you really can't escape, you ...... I'm about to announce my battle plan for the next few days. ”

"We ...... There is no way to retreat, you can only fight to the death with the barbarians! Perhaps, according to my plan, maybe we still have half a chance to live, but ...... It's hard to say about the loss. Depending on the North Formation...... will also exchange blood for blood with the barbarians, and it will no longer exist. ”

The young general pondered, his expression gradually becoming firm, but he said so.

～～～～～～～～～

I don't know how long it took, but when there was a heated discussion in the conference room, the door was slammed open.

Shainin and the others were furious. looked at the door and was about to have a seizure, but saw that it was Academician Qian who was happy and returned.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Good news! I saw Academician Qian's face full of ecstasy, but he shouted repeatedly.

"Your Highness. When I went to produce a supply ship for nuclear crystals, I didn't expect that Yuan Lao, who had been idle, had already organized people to start research there, guess what they found? ”

She winked at Xie Ning, but asked with a mysterious look on her face.

Xie Ning suddenly cried and laughed: "Academician, we are discussing tactics to see if we can find a formation that can save as much as possible." It can also break through the encirclement of the best of both worlds. Can you tell me more about your scientific research later? ”

"Your Highness! What I want to say is the result of scientific research in this area! ”

Academician Qian still said excitedly.

"Oh?" Xie Ning was suddenly surprised, and the people in the conference room also looked at him in surprise.

……

"Speak, please." Shainin found her a chair, but motioned for her to continue.

"Your Highness, just now, when a researcher was studying the ring on the supply ship using the instruments of the nuclear crystal production line, he found that it seemed to have one. Seems like some kind of program is built-in? He tried to manipulate a tiny stream of spatial magic energy on the ring as best he could, following the built-in programming of the spatial magic energy and running tentatively—guess what? ”

He successfully unleashed that faint spatial magic energy. produced a small, fleeting one! Space Rift! Academician Qian said with a feverish look on his face.

Xie Ning was suddenly moved!

That is to say...... The ring...... It's possible that it's not just magical items that store and absorb spatial magical energy, but it's even more likely...... Is it indeed a magic weapon for the barbarians to create a space channel?! And you've found a way to use it?! ”

He also said excitedly.

……

"It's not yet, but it's definitely not far away!"

Academician Qian said excitedly: "Your Highness. The researcher was just a small elemental war. He could only manipulate that ring, using very, very weak spatial magic energy, to circulate once. But you ...... You're the one who controls the space! A unique space controller! And. I heard that you were also promoted to spatial manipulation in the battle with the wolf? Can you officially use magic energy infusion? So, if you control the ring...... What will happen? ”

"And we can even imagine it even bolder. You know, even among the barbarians, there has never been anyone who can manipulate spatial magic, but they do open up a passage! ”

"I don't care how many Elemental Shines they used or how difficult it was to open the passage. But you think, if you're the space controller to open up the space channel...... Doesn't that have to be as tough as an elemental manipulator? Is it possible for you to use that magic weapon on your own, and open up a ...... like a barbarian? Space Channel?! ”

……

"You go on, I'll have to go to the supply ship right now—no, the meeting is suspended, everyone comes with us."

Shainin was already excited, and turned back to the people in the conference room.

"Guys, if all goes well. I think we can't do anything tactically, but scientifically it's quite possible! We may well have found a way to escape! The only way to survive! The last way to live! ”

He said excitedly.

The crowd suddenly stirred, they were already surging, and Xie Qian, who turned around and left in a hurry, poured out of the conference room.

Outside the conference room, the dark dawn and the dawning morning seemed to have passed quietly before you knew it, and it was a rare sunny day in the far north.

The sea breeze is gentle and the waves are gentle. The golden sunlight is shining on the sparkling sea, and more than a dozen battleships are neatly crossing the sea with the white wake of the Dingbei air attack carrier and the Zhenbei air attack carrier next to it.

As far as the eye can see, between the sea and the sky, there is a refreshing ...... Stunning views. (To be continued......)

PS: Hmm...... I finally finished writing the first half of the third volume, and I found that I was used to abusing the master at the beginning of each volume, how to break it......
