Chapter 741: War Rites
Taiyo Command Center Conference Room.
As the supreme governing body of the human space force, today's conference table is no longer marked with star maps, but live videos from drones and robots from the Mercury probe.
In the video, two children are "lying on their stomachs" on the beach, looking at the three-dimensional picture displayed by the robot, feeling extremely surprised, and at the same time, they also use their upper limbs to write and draw unknown characters on the beach.
Looking at the characters, the corners of Ye Ming's mouth showed a complicated expression that he didn't know how to describe it.
Well...... It is probably joy, emotion, depression, helplessness and many other emotions mixed together.
"If there is a text, there is no need to confirm it, this must be an intelligent creature, although it is a little ugly." Ye Ming looked at General Tao Linchuan, who was sitting on the main seat presiding over the meeting, and sighed slowly: "Although it is an action of the military, if I have to express my position, I will definitely give priority to the protection of indigenous intelligent creatures." β
Tao Linchuan is the deputy director of the Taiyue Command Center, because Qin Weiguo went to the capital to deal with the high-level of the Community, he became the first person in the Moon Command and Command Center, at this time, hearing Ye Ming say this, he also shook his head with a smile, and looked at many colleagues.
Facing his gaze, the generals from all over the world of the human race looked at each other, but they didn't speak.
Tao Linchuan secretly scolded in his heart.
These guys are too ghostly to want to be evildoers.
Frankly speaking, although he is also a soldier and everything should be based on combat and the interests of mankind, he is also unwilling to bear the responsibility of causing the extinction of a third-party civilization......
"What is the opinion above? What about Lao Qin's opinion? Tao Linchuan did not immediately express his position, but looked back at Ye Ming.
"Lao Qin's opinion is to listen to the opinions of the collective, and then the opinions from above...... The opinion of the military should be consulted. Ye Ming was concise and to the point.
"Then we should actually refer to the opinion of the former enemy command." Tao Linchuan froze and said, "The former enemy command hasn't discussed the results yet, right?" Or shall we wait? β
Ye Ming frowned and nodded slowly.
If it is only to cause a catastrophe to a planet where there is an ordinary possibility of life, even if there is an advanced form of life such as mammals, the human fleet can give priority to the safety of human beings without any ideological burden - animal protection regulations do not have the ability to manage the universe.
But there are advanced intelligent beings, and even intelligent beings that have given birth to writing, can communicate, and even try to actively communicate with humansβto be precise, a maritime civilization, then it's different.
Humanity today would be guilty of inflicting an extinction man-made catastrophe on a third-party civilization in order to achieve a tactical goalβunless it was replaced by the wave of people who slaughtered the Indians.
In the conference room, the communication between the two fish-men and the robot continues, and it can be seen that they are curious about the underwater world of humans shown in the video, and one of the fish-men seems to be more intelligent, when he sees a certain species, he will always quickly write a symbol on the beach, and then point to the video and continuously make sounds with the same frequency and tone.
This kind of ability made Ye Ming's brows furrow deeper the more he looked at it - there was no doubt that this fish-man was trying to teach the robot the language and words in his own cognition.
At this moment, a prompt sounded from the command of the former enemy requesting communication.
"Take it in." Tao Linchuan chose to connect as soon as possible without thinking.
Yang Wenzhi's voice sounded: "Command center, we have decided to change our tactics and not to artificially interfere with the planet's satellite group. β
As soon as these words came out, Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but he still immediately stabilized and said in a deep voice: "Colonel Yang, I am Ye Ming." β
"Hello Academician Ye, you may have seen that these two fish people can be called intelligent races...... And just now, based on a sonar scan of the nearby sea, a regular man-made complex was found below. Yang Wenzhi's voice carried a touch of emotion: "I recall that decades ago, our science fiction works also wrote that human beings let aliens let aliens leave the earth because children can recite formulas...... Now that we have the ability, we obviously can't do that kind of thing. β
Ye Ming exhaled slowly, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Yes." β
Hearing that the former enemy command had made a decision, the commanders present also breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Linchuan immediately asked, "Yang Wenzhi, what is your new tactic?" β
"We plan to slow down the resource ship and merge and hide behind the satellite group, just now we used Aita to simulate, this method is still feasible, but the requirements for spaceship control are relatively high, we are ready to hurry up the time to complete the unmanned replacement of the resource ship and the blue star battleship - maybe we also need to send a large number of robots from the rear."
"And, if Helko and their fleet are going to fight a protracted war, they must also prepare a batch of Slanzi materials."
"No problem!" Tao Linchuan agreed, and then looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming also nodded heavily: "No problem, and I want to tell you a good news, two days later, I will personally send the modified Enlightener to the front line!" And with the ship, there are also six artificial wormhole generators! As long as you can build a stable rear, we can build a spaceship, and we can put one in service! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On the Mercury, the already departed commanders gathered in the conference room once again, and when communication with the command center ended, a low cheer rang out in the room.
Yang Wenzhi let out a long breath with a smile on his face, and then looked at Helke: "Lao Hai, go!" β
"Hmm!" Haierko also changed his previous low-key, laughed and got up: "Let you see our main flagship!" β
"Oh? What are the specifications of your main flagship? β
"If calculated according to the energy of the main gun, its power is far above the Great Qin level."
"So awesome?"
"Hmmm! But the disadvantage is that there is no Daqin-class charging module, and it is suitable for devastating strikes against energy shields - in our usual training and simulations, the main flagship is never used to destroy battleships, but to destroy shields. β
Helco was in high spirits, and while walking out of the command room, he introduced Yang Wenzhi and his colleagues from the allied forces around him.
"When you discussed tactics before, I was inconvenient to make suggestions, mainly because our main artillery structure is different, you are a high-energy laser weapon, and we are a heavy ion fusion weapon - the technical direction of the Tara people is similar to ours, so in the previous battle to defend the jump point, we and the Tara fleet cooperated quite well, and the enemy's shield hardly played a role."
"So, this time our capital ship is over, I think we can try a new tactic, our heavy ion fusion weapon will break the shield first, and then your laser weapon will follow, so how about hitting one by one, how about it?"
Listening to Helko's suggestion, Yang Wenzhi's eyes flashed, he glanced back at Aishara, and after seeing Aishara also nodding slightly, he hummed and said, "In this case, when your fleet comes, cooperate with Aishara first." β
"No problem!"
Everyone left the room, just casually glanced at the corner and the scientific team was communicating with the fish-people, and then focused their attention on the big screen.
After all, they are warriors, not scientific experts.
In order to preserve a sapient race, they have made the greatest concessions within the limits of their abilities, and this is enough.
Their real mission is to win the battle that is about to happen.
On the big screen, the human wormhole generator has completed its maneuvering convergence, forming a huge circle in space.
In the lower right corner of the large screen is a small video frame showing the New Holy City from thousands of light-years awayβa massive space ring, surrounded by countless engineering robots flying around for final inspections.
These engineering robots, of course, are all from the human world.
In order to build this bridge connecting the new holy city and the human world in the fastest time, Uda not only fully adopted the design drawings of humans, but also passed a whole team of human engineers and technicians through the teleportation car.
Of course, all kinds of robots are also indispensable.
In addition to receiving the assistance of human industry and control, the New Holy City has also invested all its resources in the artificial wormhole generator - they have even dismantled the power supply system that sustains half of the city in order to power the generator.
Now, the artificial wormhole generator is about to be completed, and the Blue Star people, who had been "frugal for more than a year" and could soon set foot on their way home, sent all the warships they originally used to carry the first batch of returning immigrants to the front line and handed them over to Helko!
Helko's heart was turbulent, and quietly, he clenched his fists.
After exhaling deeply, Helco turned his head to look at Yang Wenzhi: "That's right, Old Yang." Can I make a request? β
"What requirements?" Yang Wenzhi was also watching, waiting for time, and looked at Helco with a smile when he heard the words.
He knew that Helko's whole person had been in a state of extreme excitement in the past few days, and he could understand it - you must know that from the perspective of the Azure Star People, Helko was one of the nine Rites, one of the real Big Nine, who was in charge of the entire Helko's combat power, and was known as the existence of the God of War.
But this "God of War" in the minds of the Blue Star people came to the battlefield thousands of light-years away, only to find that his fleet was ......
Well, a dozen warships, aren't humans also called fleets too? There's nothing to be ashamed of.
However, even if he is not ashamed, no one looks down on him, but in the current coalition of human beings with a fleet of nearly 100 ships...... Helco really doesn't have much to say.
Everyone is an officer, and we all know that if an officer has no soldiers or guns in his hands, you won't be loud when you speak.
Therefore, in the past few months, Helko has been silent, and even in order to take care of the safety of his fleet crew, in several wars, the former enemy command has not allowed Helko's warships to come forward.
But now...... The artificial wormhole is ready, and Uda has also sent all fifty-six warships - counting the thirteen brought out by Helko, that is sixty-nine, pure warships!
And this also includes a main flagship and a sub-flagship!
Not to mention Helko, even if it is Yang Wenzhi, he himself will be excited.
"Hmm...... I think I'll move the command of my fleet to the main flagship. Helko pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "We Kra people have a rule when fighting wars, the supreme commander must stay on the flagship and live and die with the flagship. β
Yang Wenzhi was stunned, and then his brows furrowed instantly.
"Lao Yang, don't be busy persuading me, I'm serious." Haierko stopped Yang Wenzhi, took another breath and said, "Before I met you...... Battleships are our life and our destination. This is the spirit and tradition that our Kra people have passed down from generation to generation in thousands of years of wandering. β
"Frankly, I'm a very traditional person." Saying that, Helco paused for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Maybe you don't know that when I first contacted you...... In fact, how to help you, or what kind of connection to make...... We had a lot of meetings. β
Yang Wenzhi was slightly stunned, he quickly glanced at several human commanders, and then a smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "It's all in the past - isn't it that we get along well later?" β
"That's because Uda has the upper hand."
Yang Wenzhi looked at Helco with some surprise.
Helco looked at the small window in the lower right corner, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the whole person fell into a momentary memory, and after a moment he smiled again: "Don't hide it from you, at the beginning, I refused to contact you." β
Yang Wenzhi was stunned for a moment: "......"
Other Human Commanders: "......"
Only Aishara glanced at Helko meaningfully, approval and approval rising in her eyes.
After all, the people of Kerong were ...... That's the idea, too.
"After all, at that time...... None of us could have imagined that humanity would come to such a level that we would ...... These former teachers are extremely embarrassed and embarrassed by the height of civilization. β
"But there are some traditions that we still have to keep."
Haierke looked at Yang Wenzhi fixedly, he pursed his lips, and his words were extremely earnest.
"Lao Yang, we probably all know that the future combined fleet may be ...... will be based on the form of the main warship of mankind, and our warship ...... It's almost about to retire from the stage of history. β
With Helco's voice, in the small window in the lower right corner, the robots responsible for detection have left the scene one after another. The camera also begins to zoom out, revealing a large fleet.
The battleship at the head of the battle, large and oppressive, stands proudly at the forefront like a flock of chickens.
"Then this battle may be their curtain call. As the war ceremonies of the Kra tribe, it is necessary, obligatory, and responsible to lead them into this most glorious battle, so that they can complete the greatest curtain call. β
"So, please...... Lots of it. β
After finishing speaking, Haierke looked straight at Yang Wenzhi, waiting for an answer.
Yang Wenzhi exhaled slowly and nodded heavily.
