It is not only Yu Linglong who pins his hopes on Yang Yi, but also the Human Federation, as well as those civilizations that follow the Human Federation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that Yu Linglong clearly realized from the beginning that it was almost impossible to wait until Yang Yi returned. Even if Yang Yi set off from the North Alpha Galaxy after receiving the news and always maintained the fastest speed, that is, the speed of light, it would take 10,000 years to return to the South Alpha System. Even if it is ideal, such as making the largest space jump first, and after sailing thousands of light years, that is, coming to the northernmost star system of the Southern Alpha System about 3,000 light years and making another space jump, Yang Yi will take 4,000 years to complete the intermediate journey, that is, he will return to the Southern Alpha Galaxy after 4,000 years.

Obviously, no human being can live for 5,000 years.

Although it is theoretically possible to extend the survival time of humans indefinitely through hibernation, in practice, this is absolutely impossible. Quite simply, hibernation prolongs human survival by reducing the rate of metabolism, not completely stopping metabolism. As long as the metabolism is ongoing, humans will age. Normally, hibernation reduces the rate of metabolism to one-tenth of what it normally would, thus extending the survival time of hibernating subjects by a factor of ten. Although continuing to reduce the rate of metabolism can further prolong the survival time of the hibernating subject, it can cause unpredictable results, such as causing damage to the hibernating subject's brain, greatly increasing the difficulty of ending hibernation, and even causing the hibernating subject to not wake up in time before the body temperature returns to normal. Therefore, only in special circumstances will the metabolic rate of hibernation be lowered, which is commonly referred to as "deep hibernation".

Obviously, hibernation doesn't solve the problem either.

If deep hibernation is carried out, Yu Linglong's survival time can be extended to at least four thousand years, or even six thousand years, and it is possible to live until the day Yang Yi returns. It's just that in a state of deep hibernation, there is a huge risk every time you wake up, and no one can guarantee that you will be able to wake up from your deep slumber every time. In other words, Yu Linglong, who has entered deep hibernation, is no different from death, but wakes up after thousands of years. During this period, her existence is worthless at all, not only will it not help the Human Federation, but it will also become a drag. If it is just an ordinary hibernation, the meaning is not very obvious, after all, a jade Linglong who needs to enter a deep sleep state often cannot always grasp the overall situation.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Linglong did not choose to prolong her survival time by hibernating, but spent her life's work to build a strong army for the Human Federation, build a perfect military and political system, support several hardcore allies, and lay a solid foundation for the Human Federation to fight against strong enemies for a long time. It can be said that Yu Linglong has completely relied on the power of one person to shape a new human federation in just over two hundred years. If she hadn't done this, then the Human Federation would have been completely destroyed more than six hundred years ago, that is, on the day it started with the four second-rate top civilizations. It's just that even if it's Jade Linglong, there is no guarantee that the Human Federation will be able to hold out for thousands of years.

The point is, the enemy is just too strong.

After the three first-rate top-level civilizations collapsed one after another, the four second-rate top-level civilizations became the most powerful existences. Not only did they control the most resource-rich central region that originally belonged to the three first-class top civilizations, but they also made most of the civilizations compromise and become their accomplices. To put it simply, the enemies of the Human Federation are not only four second-rate top civilizations, but the entire Galactic Alliance, and the Human Federation can only rely on itself.

In fact, not only Yu Linglong, when the war broke out, no one believed that the Human Federation could hold out, and there were even many people who believed that the Human Federation would be defeated within ten years. As a result, before the war reached the home system, there was civil strife in the Human Federation.

At that time, a handful of high-ranking federal authorities believed that it was better to compromise with the four second-rate top civilizations, even if they had to give up the vital outer star system, and also hand over the survivors of the Thunderling, Weaver, and Hidden Spirits under their protection, rather than suffering from the flames of war. In the words of these people, there is no reason for the Human Federation to confront four second-rate top civilizations for the sake of the remnants of three first-rate top civilizations. To this end, this part of the population took advantage of the chaos of the early years of the war to stage a coup d'état in an attempt to establish a new federal government. Unfortunately, they were unable to convince the military, nor were they able to control the garrison of their home system, and were arrested by federal authorities before they could take action.

Actually, it's just a farce.

Before her death, Yu Linglong had already anticipated internal turmoil and was prepared. According to her arrangement, the power that will be held after her is a group of nine veterans composed of nine people who participated in the Sixth Greenwich War, had direct contact with Yang Yi, and firmly believed that Yang Yi would return one day, three of them were from the Yu family, and the other six came from the expeditionary force formed by Yang Yi, that is, those who stayed in the Greenwich meteorite belt and did not follow Yang Yi to the North Alpha Galaxy, and later withdrew to the South Alpha Galaxy. The nine patriarchs hibernate in groups of three, taking turns hibernating, to ensure that at least three of them would survive until the day Yang Yi returned. Among the three elders in power, the elders from the Jade family are in charge of all the internal affairs of the Human Federation, while the two elders from the legion are one as the commander-in-chief of the Federation, and the other is fully responsible for relations with other civilizations. Normally, only three elders are needed to preside over the big picture, so the other six are in hibernation. Only in exceptional circumstances does it be necessary to revive the other six Patriarchs to ensure that at least three of them will survive for thousands of years.

Although the system is not perfect, it is stable enough to exist for thousands of years.

The key is that these veterans have had direct contact with Yang Yi, know Yang Yi's strength, and firmly believe that Yang Yi will save human civilization. Although none of the patriarchs can match the strength and influence of Jade Linglong, as long as the three patriarchs work together, they can command the Human Federation.

In fact, this is also the key to the fact that the Human Federation was able to withstand the first round of the enemy's onslaught and not quickly collapse after the war.

After the threat of a coup d'état was resolved, the Human Federation, under the command of nine elders, quickly completed its mobilization for war. In fact, before that, the Human Federation had always been in a quasi-war state. That is, all regular regiments are at full strength, and reserve regiments have begun to train new recruits; All military factories are producing weapons and equipment at full speed, and local governments in various star systems have begun to stock up on war materials; Liaison with other civilizations has already begun, and the personnel of the intelligence agencies have penetrated into the rear of the enemy and begun to instigate those civilizations whose positions are not firm enough; The fleet, which had been distributed on the periphery, had been withdrawn and reorganized in accordance with the wartime mechanism.

It can be said that the Federation of Humans is one step ahead in war mobilization.

It was this step ahead of the curve that allowed the Human Federation to withstand the storm that followed.

As for who fired the first shot, it didn't really matter, because before that, the four second-rate top civilizations had declared war on the Human Federation. Although the Human Federation has not yet declared war on the four second-rate top civilizations, it has entered a state of war, that is, the war with the four second-rate top civilizations has broken out.

In the first phase of the war, the four second-rate top civilizations made a serious mistake, or rather, the deployment made by Yu Linglong before the war had an effect. That is, the four second-rate top civilizations did not regard the Human Federation as an opponent, thinking that they could quickly destroy the Human Federation. As a result, the four second-rate top-tier civilizations were not fully prepared, and they did not even send enough troops.

At that time, the four second-rate top civilizations may not even have a complete set of war plans.

The first to attack is the Soldier's Clan, that is, the Soldier's fleet captures and controls the route to the home galaxy to ensure that the attack route is unimpeded. Immediately afterward, the elite legion of the Kunyang clan was responsible for uprooting the military strongholds on the route and removing the obstacles to the home system. At the same time, the Beasts entered the fray, using a staggering number of legions to sweep the nearby star system and secure the rear. As for the Extreme Realm Clan, they did not send troops to participate in the war at the first time, but only sent a fleet and a transport fleet to provide logistical support for the other three second-rate top civilizations. In addition, the Extreme Realm Clan also took on the heavy responsibility of supplying supplies, after all, the Extreme Realm Clan had the most resources at their disposal.

If it is an ordinary high-level civilization that is attacked, there will be no suspense about the outcome.

It's just that the Federation of Humans is not an ordinary advanced civilization. At that time, the Human Federation was already one of the most powerful civilizations in the Southern Alpha System. If the comprehensive strength is the standard, the Human Federation even surpasses the Kunyang Clan, the Soldier Domain Clan, and the Beast Clan, second only to the Extreme Realm Clan. Besides, if the Human Federation is so vulnerable, then there is no need to wait for Yu Linglong to die, and the four second-rate top civilizations will start a war.

As a result, the Bingyu clan, which took the lead, tasted the bitter fruit first.

For that fleet battle, the relevant records of the Human Federation are not very many, nor are they detailed, but it is mentioned that the fleet of the Bingyu Clan advanced lightly, and when the legions of the Kunyang Clan and the Beast Clan did not keep up, they went deep into the northern region for thousands of light years and encountered the human fleet that had already been ambushed. In the event of a surprise attack, the Warrior Clan fleet was quickly routed, more than half of the warships were destroyed, and many warships were captured. To put it simply, the Human Federation took advantage of the enemy's carelessness, deliberately withdrew the outer defenses, did not put up too stubborn resistance, lured the Soldier Clan fleet deep into the northern region, and then ambushed the Soldier Clan fleet on the battlefield chosen.

In this decisive battle of the fleet, it was not only the fleet of the Soldier Domain Clan that was defeated, but also the hope of the four second-rate top civilizations to quickly destroy the Human Federation. The key point is that without the support of the fleet, it will be difficult for the legions of the Kunyang Clan and the Beast Clan to play a role, and it is impossible for them to challenge the Human Federation alone. Unless the Extreme Realm Clan sends troops in time and sends a fleet to participate in the battle, the legions of the Kunyang Clan and the Beast Clan will have to take the initiative to abandon the star system that has been captured.

Obviously, no matter how powerful the Wardomain Clan is, it will not be able to rebuild a powerful fleet in the short term, and it will take a lot of time, and the war will drag on because of this.

However, this did not happen. (To be continued.) )
