With the madness of the raging energy raging.

Roland was also affected by this for a while, and lost his ability to act.

However, this time is not long, only a little more than ten seconds.

A large amount of scattered energy has been regrouped and gradually reverted to human form.

For a pure energy life form, it is absolutely impossible to kill it with conventional attacks, and at most it can only make him lose his mobility for a short time.

However, in the short term, all the ship's jump engine failures were eliminated and they managed to leave.

Of course, they did not leave in the same direction, but jumped in different directions according to the initial prediction.

In order to increase the number of warships that eventually escaped completely.

After all, even if the leap technology is developed to the extreme, it cannot escape an iron law.

That's...

The limit of ten light-years for a single jump.

In the end, after an hour and the loss of more than 20 warships, there was no news of being caught up by the gods.

Other words...

They escaped the god's tracking.

The last statistic.

The fleet lost one god-killing ship, the Zhurong II pan-purpose battleship, in addition to one battleship, two cruisers, seven destroyers, and fifty-two frigates.

A total of sixty-three warships, almost sixty percent of the fleet.

And that's just the beginning.

In the next hour, nine more rebel fleets were attacked in Andes' Domain.

Three of them were even wiped out, and not a single battleship escaped.

Even one of the most intelligent fleets lost more than forty warships.

This was the first time that the rebels had engaged the gods head-on.

The whole process adds up to two hours.

However, in just two hours, three fleets of the rebels were destroyed, and another seven fleets were severely damaged, with a total loss of more than 800 warships.

In this case, the Andis branch of the rebel army, naturally, ordered a suspension of operations, and all fleets hid and waited for the next order.

And at the same time.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the rebels also passed on the information of the engagement of the ten fleets to the Federation.

As a result, how the so-called gods fought was directly presented in front of a kind of high-level people.

------

"President, judging from the information we have obtained, energy weapons are better than space weapons to deal with these so-called gods."

In the conference room, Gao Tianyang said with a strange face.

This is really strange enough, space weapons have almost no effect on it, but energy weapons, especially large-scale energy rage, can limit its actions for a short time.

Could it be that the Federation Fleet is going back to the era of energy weapons?

"What about the analysis of the Academy of Sciences?"

After listening to the report of the military department, Suhe turned his head to look at several people from the Academy of Sciences.

"President, the main reason for this situation is that the other party is a pure energy life form."

"And the mainstream space weapons used by our current fleet are space cutting and space penetration."

"Take space cutting as an example, this technique is really powerful, and it can cut everything, but..."

"This cut on an ordinary creature can naturally be killed instantly, but the opponent is in the form of energy, and there is no flesh and blood."

"In other words, you can think of those so-called gods as beings with no substance, similar elements, and the spatial cutting will naturally not be able to kill them."

"For example, if you take a knife and cut an animal, and you also take a knife and look at the air, the result is naturally different."

Listening to Chu Yanxi's parable, everyone also had a clearer idea of those gods.

That's right, since there is no entity, it naturally cannot be killed.

Outrageous, but that's the way it is.

"Is there any countermeasure from the Ministry of Science?"

"There are currently three possible countermeasures."

"Tell me about it."

Hearing this, Su He's eyes lit up.

There are already three possible countermeasures?

"The first is what we discussed before, using the time bubble to completely seal the other party for tens of thousands of years, until the federation develops to a higher level of civilization, and then seek a complete solution."

In the conference room, everyone nodded slightly.

That's right, this is what the military department is currently preparing, the gods seal plan.

"The second is to use the space collapse cannon to strike, although those gods have no entity and are completely pure energy forms, but fundamentally speaking, they are still the basic composition of space particles that cannot escape."

"However, at present, we still know too little about this life form to determine whether they have the ability to use the phenomenon of collapse and aggregation to absorb the original energy of the universe, that is, dark energy."

"After all, everyone knows that the essence of space particles is dark energy."

At this time, many people frowned.

Indeed, there is a good chance that this is a solution.

But as Chu Yanxi said, the Federation still knows too little about these gods, and if you don't do it well...

Not only will it not solve the problem, but it may even make these gods more powerful.

No, this is not an option!

Not advisable at least until the capabilities of this life form are fully understood!

"The third, starve them!"

"Everyone knows that no matter what life form it is, as long as it exists, it will consume energy, and at the same time it needs to replenish energy, which is a law that all life cannot escape."

"It's like we humans, and the vast majority of life, rely on food to replenish energy."

"And these so-called gods, although they have gotten rid of their physical bodies, does not mean that they do not need to consume energy, on the contrary, the energy they consume and need to replenish is far greater than that of ordinary creatures."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be the entire Small Magellanic Galaxy, where so many civilizations are tied together, and only 98 so-called gods are fed."

"Of these three options, the second is not advisable at the moment, at least not at the moment, and the first and third options are now integrated into the Seal of the Gods plan."

"Therefore, the recommendation of the Ministry of Science is that the Seal of the Gods Project is still the best option at the moment."

After Chu Yanxi finished speaking, she sat back.

The others also pondered.

Originally, many people had ideas after seeing the information sent by the rebels.

Is the Gods Seal Project the best way to go?

Is there a better way to deal with it than this plan?

But now after listening to Chu Yanxi, it seems that she still thinks too much.

"In that case, let's increase the assistance to the Marsar Resistance, let them completely sweep all ten star fields as soon as possible, and complete the first phase of the Gods Sealing Plan as quickly as possible."

After a moment of contemplation.

Sukh spoke, and the final word was heard.

------

Although it was decided at the meeting to increase assistance to the rebels.

However, based on the calculation of 20,000 warships in each star field, it is necessary to completely achieve the expected goal of the first stage.

The Federation is also to provide at least 200,000 warships to the Resistance.

If there is a period of two or three years, the Federation interstellar industry is at full capacity, it is not a difficult thing.

But if you want to do it in a short time, this is unlikely.

You know, there is a reason why the military department is unusually supportive of this plan.

Because...

According to this aid plan, the first and second batches of aid will all be provided by the defense fleet and the warships of the guard fleet.

In this way, the two fleets just took this opportunity to complete the rearmament.

Everyone was happy.

However, the current two batches of support were sent, that is, after 40,000 warships of various types were sent over.

Whether it is the active service of the two fleets, or the inventory left within the Federation for other affiliated civilizations to exchange points, it will be completely depleted.

Therefore, in the third to tenth batches, it will all depend on production.

As I said, if you have two or three years, it's not a problem at all.

However, at the meeting, it was decided at the top that the entire aid package should be completed within a year.

This scared a lot of people.

After all, how is it possible to increase production several times in a short period of time?

However, in the latter part of that meeting, a member of the presidential office staff came up with a striking plan.

Namely...

Outsource!

Yes, outsourcing!

Of course, not all of them are outsourced.

Rather, it is partially outsourced.

Based on several battles between the rebels and the gods, the staff member spotted a problem.

That's...

Ships for aid do not need to be made according to federal standards at all, but can be produced in a castrated version.

In doing so, it can also significantly reduce the production time of the federation, as well as the cost.

For example, from Qingluan-class frigates to Xingtian-class battleships, according to federal standards, the shells and armor of all warships are processed from the forefeet of the war insects in the Starry Sky Zerg as the basic material.

This design, in the original period of the fourth-order civilization, even if the shield collapsed, but with the shell and armor of the battleship of this material, it was usually able to withstand several attacks.

Especially in the battle of the Zerg, the effect is even more obvious.

So, despite the high cost and difficult processing, the federation did it.

After all, for the Federation, talent is the most valuable.

But is it necessary for the current situation on Marsal's side?

Didn't you see that the gods were like going through the wall, directly ignoring the shell armor of the battleship?

Therefore, the hull of the warship that was given to the rebels could be made of ordinary materials.

In this way, without any special materials to be kept secret, the battleship's hull part can be directly outsourced to those third-order civilizations to manufacture.

And the federal...

It is only necessary to produce other equipment on the battleship, and finally outfit.

Even the jump engine can be outsourced for production.

After all, this thing is only the technology of a third-order civilization, although in terms of third-order civilization, it is definitely much worse than the Federation in terms of technology.

But what about the Federation giving them stronger transition technology directly?

You know, this technology federation has been obsolete for many years.

Then, if the Federation asks a subordinate civilization, I will give you the most advanced jump technology, and you don't need to spend the plan to exchange it, as long as you get the technology, help us produce twenty or thirty thousand jump engines.

Do you want to do it?

This...

Whoever doesn't do it is a fool, okay?

How much resources does it take to get 20,000 or 30,000 jump engines?

And if you use points to redeem on the affiliated civilization platform, how many resources do you have to use to exchange for enough points?

Therefore, as long as the Federation is in this way, it can outsource the production task of the jump engine to a group of third-order civilizations.

Or even...

If you don't even have to pay a penny, those affiliated civilizations will rush to work for nothing.

So, in the end, the battleship design department analyzed.

Good guys, the hull of a battleship, as well as about 70% of its components, can actually be solved by this outsourcing.

Even the remaining 30% of the components can be outsourced to the fourth-order civilization of the Triangulum Galaxy...

Blue-eyed civilization.

It's all about getting down...

In the end, the Federation turned out to be...

It only takes less than 10% of the parts to be produced and the final assembly and outfitting is done.

Compared with the original construction plan, the cost of the federation has been reduced by more than 80% after outsourcing in this way.

The production speed has increased by 285%.

Well, everyone was a little confused.

How can you do this?

Speaking of which, is this considered the foundry industry in the interstellar era?

And it's a complete bloodsucking OEM.

This is to be placed in the era of the home planet, and the Federation has properly established a large number of sweatshops...
