The resources of the Poseidon Galaxy are indeed too rich, and it is roughly estimated that it has more than 6,000 times the resources of the solar system. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is a lot of money, and if you can bring this fertile land under your command, it will be of immeasurable benefit to the development of the Earth fleet.

After a long journey, Poseidon finally stopped in front of the gas giant, opened the hatch, and small resource mining ships rushed to the gas giant like hungry locusts.

In the days that followed, Poseidon took root on the side of the gas giant, and Poseidon will prioritize replenishing its own energy before starting to build a new base.

Due to the insufficient number of engineering robots carried by the spaceship, it was not until a month later that a supply depot of modest size was set up! Then, thanks to the almost inexhaustible resources, the small bases based on the supply station are like cells in the vigorous period of division, one becomes two, two becomes four, the number of engineering robots continues to increase, and the scale begins to grow slowly!

Eventually, a fully functional base took shape, floating 14 light-years away from Earth.

After some rest, the Poseidon also became completely new, and regained its tall and majestic posture, like a great general, guarding the distant frontier.

Two months later, quantum communication was established between the Earth station and the Poseidon Galaxy base for direct data exchange, and the Poseidon no longer needed to transit. From this moment on, there was a direct command channel between the two bases, and Zhou Chen could directly control the various constructions of the Poseidon Galaxy!

At the same time, the exploration of the Poseidon Galaxy was basically completed, and Zhou Chen made a surprise discovery.

Although there are 36 terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of the Poseidon Galaxy, two of which are similar to the Earth in all conditions, the uranium-lead decay measurement shows that these planets are not very old, formed about 1.2 billion years ago, and only simple single-celled organisms such as cyanobacteria have developed on the planet!

In other words, the possibility of intelligent life in the Poseidon system has been ruled out, and this system will become the exclusive ranch of the Earth fleet entirely.

Because of the major discovery of the Poseidon Galaxy, the strategic direction of the Earth Fleet will also undergo a complete change, not only the change in the number of people on board, but also the composition of the entire fleet.

In the original fleet formation, the Earth Fleet adopted a mixed formation mode of "5:5:5:5:5", that is, in addition to five large habitation ships, a formation should also be equipped with five civilization-class warships, five resource supply ships, five engineering ships of various types and five scientific experiment ships, which is the best ratio mode to maintain a civilization's survival in the universe!

Zhou Chen's original goal was to build nine such formations during the retreat, that is, by the time of the evacuation, the Earth Fleet would have 45 large residential ships, 45 civilization-class warships, resource supply ships, various types of engineering ships, and scientific experiment ships, totaling 225 ships.

The previous ship construction was carried out according to this plan, and up to now, the Earth Fleet has built 15 ships of various types, a total of 75 ships, 10 ships of each type have been started, and a total of 50 ships of various types are under construction!

Although the plan has changed, since the construction period of the ships that have already started construction has already passed halfway, it is certainly not possible to cut them halfway, so there are already 25 ships of various types in the plan, a total of 125 ships.

In other words, the Earth Fleet can build another 100 ships of various types in the remaining time!

How to allocate the production capacity of these 100 ships is an issue that needs to be discussed.

To this end, Zhou Chen specially convened members of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences to make some calculations, so that everyone could express their opinions.

"Since the destination is the Poseidon galaxy 14 light-years away, instead of the original projection of carrying 300 million people to wander around the universe, then I think the original plan to build various types of engineering ships and scientific experiment ships can be cut." At the beginning of the meeting, Cao Jiangfeng put forward his own views.

As soon as his words came out, the participants couldn't help but nod.

Now that the Poseidon Galaxy has also begun to build accordingly, engineering ships and scientific experiment ships are indeed not as important as before.

This is a topic that has no disagreement, Zhou Chen saw that everyone agreed, and after thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "The matter is urgent, and the construction of various types of ships is very important for the evacuation of the fleet. ”

"What do you think? If you have a good suggestion, you can put it forward. ”

At this time, a member of the Social Council stood up and said: "Although the distance of 14 light years is not far, it is not close, and the things in the universe are difficult to estimate, let alone more than ten years later, so I think the safety of the fleet must be guaranteed." ”

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, but listened to the man continue: "Civilization-class battleships are the core combat force of the fleet, we are facing the two huge threats of the Odo civilization and the Ferro civilization, if we meet them along the way, it is inevitable that there will be a big battle, so the original forty-five civilization-class battleships should be completed on schedule, and must not be reduced!" ”

Zhou Chen heard that he was reasonable, and said lightly: "Regarding the Odo civilization and the Ferro civilization, I have some information to announce here. ”

"Captain, please." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Although members of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences are qualified to participate in policy discussions, this red line cannot be touched militarily, so except for a few people, they are not particularly clear about the situation of the two civilizations.

Zhou Chen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I'm here to give you a thorough explanation, in fact, fifteen years ago, the Intelligence Department began to monitor the surroundings through quantum radar, and now a relatively complete three-dimensional spherical database has been established, roughly covering the range of 10 light years around the solar system!" ”

"Wow!" The conference room couldn't help but talk to each other, for scientists, it is a very remarkable thing to be able to monitor the surrounding 10 light years, and without the advanced technology of the Earth Fleet, I am afraid that it will not be possible in a hundred years.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the surprised looks on their faces one by one.

In fact, the monitoring range of 10 light-years was reached five years ago, and would have been much wider had it not been for the sparse effect of entangled quanta becoming sparse with distance.

However, the monitoring range of 10 light years can already provide a lot of protection for the Earth fleet.

"Judging from the information provided by the quantum radar, the Ferro civilization has not yet entered the three-dimensional sphere range of the radar, which means that it is at least 10 light-years away from us! However, with the help of quantum radar directional scanning, we have finally determined that the Ferro civilization is located 12.5 light-years away and is approaching us at 0.5 times the speed of light! ”

As soon as Zhou Chen's words came out, everyone's hearts began to calculate, and it was easy to conclude that the Fei Luo civilization would probably arrive on Earth in twenty-five years.

So in order to maintain a safe distance, the Earth must complete its evacuation within fifteen years! This is in line with the original plan, so no one is worried about it.

"Captain, can you tell us about the scale of the Ferro civilization?" At this moment, a member of the social council suddenly stood up and asked. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, and what the strength of the enemy is, I believe this is what everyone wants to know.

Zhou Chen frowned, and said truthfully: "Due to the distance, we can't estimate the specific number of warships of the Ferro civilization yet, but it should be no less than 200,000!" ”

There was an uproar, and as soon as Zhou Chen's words fell, there was an exclamation in the conference room, 200,000 ships, or the minimum 200,000 ships! Even the Earth Fleet at the evacuation stage is not enough to stuff its teeth, and the gap between them is too big.

Until this moment, these backbone members of the Earth Fleet finally had a very intuitive understanding of the cosmic civilization, and the Earth Fleet was simply an insignificant weakling compared to them!

"The enemy is too strong to be an enemy, but it's okay! OK! I don't know if it's because the time is just right to stagger with them, but at this time, everyone felt a burst of happiness in their hearts. It's not that it's cowardice, it's that you don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Zhou Chen pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "As for the Odo civilization, we haven't been able to find any clues about it yet, but this should be good news, at least it's farther away from us!" ”

"Well, that's right." Everyone agreed with this statement in their hearts.

When the Clear Globe Fleet was about to face such a powerful enemy, the desire of all the members present for the battleship was already incomparable, and at this time, if anyone dared to say the plan to cut down the construction of the civilization-class battleship, wouldn't it be impossible to live with their own net worth?

In the end, the meeting unanimously approved that the construction plan of civilization-class warships remained unchanged, and forty-five ships were still built according to the original plan!

In this way, out of the hundred production capacity, the twenty required to remove the civilization-class warships are removed, and there is still eighty production capacity left. Needless to say, the production capacity of these eighty ships is naturally fully allocated to the resident ships and resource supply ships.
