Four months and seven days.

The passage on the side of Sextant A finally stopped, and no more war insects rushed out of it.

According to post-war statistics, counting the several advance reconnaissance fleets destroyed before, the total number of opposing warships has reached a terrifying scale of one billion.

And in this process, the consumption of the federation is also quite large.

The initial 3 million Combined I warships, plus the 1 million that came over after the subsequent war, lost a total of 2.37 million ships, leaving only 1.63 million ships.

Combined Type II warships, counting the total of 500,000 subsequent reinforcements, lost 210,000 ships, leaving 290,000 ships.

Pangu-class warships, with a loss of more than 17,000 ships.

Arda class warships, with a loss of more than 8,000 ships.

The overall loss was more than 1.865 million ships.

Of course, the losses that belong to the Federation itself are actually more than 20,000 warships, and the rest are affiliated civilization fleets.

Although since the arrival of the pioneer fleet, the passage mouth has been completely suppressed, and basically every wave of warships that arrive can be cleared in one wave.

However, when you fire, others are firing, even though only 2,000 ships are firing at a time.

But 1 billion warships, which lasted for more than 4 months without interruption.

The accumulated losses are also quite a lot.

------

Conference room of the military department.

A kind of high-ranking officer, a post-war review is underway.

As the commander of this battle, Jiang Xingchen was naturally the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time we have faced a fleet of this magnitude since the establishment of the New Federation."

"In the process, we confirmed the effectiveness of some of the strategies in the past, but also exposed a lot of problems."

"The first is the formation of a mercenary fleet of affiliated civilizations, and it is precisely because of the implementation of this policy that the losses of our federation have finally been reduced to an acceptable and very low level."

"Otherwise, if you want the invasion offensive of Hell, an unknown civilization, the Federation will have to pay more than ten times the price, and may even be defeated in the end."

Speaking of this, all the high-level officials in the conference room nodded one after another.

A billion fifth-order civilization warships...

It's scary, okay?

At present, the Federation's own main warship, that is, the Pangu class, the three major fleets...

Ahh

Such a force, perhaps at the beginning, can be resisted.

However, as the number of ships lost more and more and the firepower on the defensive line gradually weakened, the whole battle situation would snowball until finally the defenders completely collapsed.

And even if it can really resist in the end, I am afraid that the forces that the Federation has accumulated over the past decades will be almost exhausted.

"So I think that we should not only continue the strategy of attaching the civilization fleet, but also greatly expand the scale."

"If we can have tens of millions of Joint I warships, and millions of Joint II warships, this time we can win without even the Federation fleet participating."

The crowd nodded again, and they agreed with the suggestion.

For the current Federation, the cost of building these combined warships is very low.

Besides, don't look at the fact that the Federation is now selling these warships to affiliated civilizations at a very low price, but in fact...

The points spent by the affiliated civilizations for each combined warship are enough for the Federation to use these points, which in turn can be exchanged for the resources needed by hundreds of combined warships from their hands.

As for the cost of construction ...

There really aren't many other costs besides energy consumption.

After all, space particle reconstruction technology is such a bug.

"Now, let me talk about the second question, which is also the most important one of the issues I want to talk about today."

"That's... Battleship energy! ”

"There is a set of data, everyone should know that a Pangu-class warship will completely exhaust the vacuum zero-point energy in a set of zero-point energy modules in almost three months in a continuous high-intensity war."

"According to post-war statistics, the 240,000 main warships of the development fleet have consumed an additional 320,000 sets in this operation, in addition to the zero-point energy modules originally carried."

"And this additional part of the consumption is already more than eighty percent of the current federal reserve."

"In other words, if the war goes on for several months, the Federation fleet will collapse on its own because there is no energy to replenish."

"This is a very serious problem."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

That's right, the Federation has never experienced such a high intensity before, almost a second, and a war that lasted for more than four months.

So, I didn't realize this problem all along.

Although the zero-point vacuum energy stored in the zero-point energy module is powerful, can the Federation really rely on this energy source to sustain a large-scale and protracted cosmic war?

This battle was indeed a wake-up call for the Federation.

Sometimes, it's not so much about the energy that is better, it's about thinking about more things.

Otherwise, could it be true that the Silver Light Empire did not have more powerful energy?

No kidding, people are ninth-order scientific and technological civilizations, how can they not have them, and even more powerful energy than zero-point vacuum energy is also good or bad.

"Xingchen, what do you think?"

After a slight silence, Mu Zhengfeng asked.

"I think the Central Academy of Sciences should be allowed to invest more resources in the satellite nuclear energy project to tap the potential of this energy system."

"Have you noticed one thing, after four months of war, those Union II warships of the affiliated civilizations have never carried out any energy replenishment?"

"That's right, the zero-point vacuum energy is indeed very strong, much stronger than the star nuclear energy, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, the production is too low."

"According to the current output, even if there is no war, I am afraid that it will only be able to maintain 50-600,000 main warships of the Federation at most."

"Unless, after the Federation warships are put into service, they are all parked in the airport and never move."

"Not to mention the occurrence of a large-scale war and the drastic consumption of zero-point energy modules."

"So I think the Federation fleet needs to be high and low, and not just build the strongest Pangu-class warships like it is now."

"We need a new kind of warship, a warship with star nuclear energy as the core."

"Of course, it can't be like the Joint Type II, that's too weak!"

"Therefore, as I said earlier, the Central Academy of Sciences needs to invest more resources to tap the potential of satellite nuclear energy."

"A set of star nuclear energy is too weak? That's like using a multi-core zero-point vacuum energy module on the Battle Star, and the technology of synchronizing the energy of multiple star cores has been developed, so that it can obtain a higher energy output. ”

"In the end, the number of first-class warships of the Federation Fleet, that is, Pangu-class warships, should be limited according to the Federation's zero-point module production capacity, as well as taking into account the factors of war attrition, etc."

"The rest is a large number of new warships that use star nuclear energy."

Mu Zhengfeng also has a deep understanding of this problem.

In the latter part of the war, the entire military department was a little panicked.

More than eighty percent of the reserves of zero-point energy modules have been consumed.

At that time, the opponent's fleet was like a bottomless pit, rushing out of the passage one after another.

God knows, when will it end.

Everyone has to panic about this, okay?

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and more than four months later, another enemy ship came out of it, and the war finally came to an end.

After that, the military department also thought about how to solve this problem.

After all, this is definitely a fatal problem.

And now, what Jiang Xingchen said is a good suggestion, which is worth studying carefully.

Of course, it's not just a question of what ships to use for the subsequent Federation fleet.

Even the Pangu-class and Arda-class warships that are now in service also need to be upgraded.

It adopts the dual system mode of star nuclear energy and zero point energy.

However, this upgrade plan had already been decided before the war, and now Jiang Xingchen didn't need to take it out and say anything else.

------

After talking about the issue of the core energy used by warships.

Jiang Xingchen threw out several more questions, although they are not as serious as the energy problem, but they are all relatively important issues.

It can be said that after this battle, everyone found out.

Federation...

Especially the Federation Fleet ...

There are still so many problems that need to be solved.

It still has to be solved immediately!
