Chapter 424: The Critical 10 Years
In the back garden of the Imperial Palace on Yanhuang Star, the imperial base of the Centaurus Galaxy, it is summer on Yanhuang Star. The exotic flowers and plants from various planets of the empire planted in the back garden are blooming, exuding a refreshing fragrance. Under the huge big-leaf banyan tree, the empire's high-level officials gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
"Just got the latest news from Li Wandu. They successfully captured Adroson and bewitched Adroson. They got a very important intelligence. The Kolov Empire sent a 50,000-strong fleet of local troops to march towards our secondary spiral arm."
The Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet Tu Xueli told the latest news from Li Wandu, which made the imperial high-level officials present frown one by one.
"The Kolov Empire is very powerful. According to the information obtained from Adrosen, the Kolov Empire, which occupies the most prosperous starlight shore of the Orion Arm, has as many as 500,000 fleets in its own native civilization, and all of its warships are equipped with energy shields."
"In addition, the Kolov Empire has a very mysterious and powerful force. Even Adrosen knows very little about it. He only knows that all the space warships of this force were purchased from the powerful civilization in the center of the Milky Way. The Kolov Empire can rule the entire Orion Arm. On the one hand, it is powerful, and on the other hand, it has such a powerful fleet."
"A secret powerful force? Space warships purchased from the powerful civilization in the center of the Milky Way?"
After listening to this, Li Fu raised his eyebrows. In fact, this had already been within Li Fu's estimation. After all, the Kolov Empire controls the route from the Orion Arm to the center of the Milky Way. It is the only civilization that can contact the center of the Milky Way. It is also natural to obtain some weapons and weapons from the powerful civilization in the center of the Milky Way.
"Let's not discuss the issue of their secret fleet. Let's talk about how we should deal with the 50,000 fleets sent by the Kolov Empire. These 50,000 fleets are not a mob. They are all the elite troops of the Kolov Empire. Each space battleship is equipped with an energy shield."
"Even if all the warships of our empire are added together, the number of fleets has just reached 1,000. In terms of quantity alone, we are already far behind the enemy. In addition, our current weapons cannot directly break through the energy shield of the Kolov Empire. We can only rely on the way of consuming energy to finally destroy the enemy's warships. So we must deal with this battle carefully."
Li Fu analyzed the situation between the enemy and us. The situation is very unfavorable to the empire. The Kolov Empire is the landlord on the Orion spiral arm, occupying the most fertile and prosperous starlight shore, and has a very long history of development. After a long history of precipitation and accumulation, the strength it possesses alone is already very terrifying, and the standing fleet is as many as 500,000.
In addition, the Kolov Empire can obtain advanced technology, space battleships, weapons, etc. from the center of the Milky Way. It is also powerful enough for the Kolov Empire to rule the entire Orion Arm.
Although the Empire has developed rapidly, the development time is still too short. There is still a big gap in comprehensive strength compared with the Kolov Empire. The Kolov Empire can easily dispatch 50,000 fleets, which is enough for the Empire to have a headache.
"It takes about 10 years from the other side of the starlight to our secondary spiral arm. Originally, the Kolov Empire thought that it could defeat us by relying on 100,000 coalition forces, so their local army did not go out at all. Recently, they received the news of the coalition's failure and began to go out. That is to say, we still have 10 years to prepare for this battle."
Tu Xueli said a very important point. 10 years may be very short for other civilizations, but for the Empire, 10 years is enough for earth-shaking changes.
"10 years is still too short. If we have a few decades, we may be able to develop more powerful energy weapons and magnetic weapons."
Bai Cai felt that time was too tight when she heard this.
"I think 10 years is enough. If we want to break the energy shield of the Kolov Empire at one time, the attack only needs to reach level 8."
Li Fu smiled confidently. The scientists of the empire have tested the energy shield. When the attack reaches the limit of the energy shield, the energy shield will be broken directly and will not provide any defensive energy.
But if the attack does not reach the limit of the energy shield, then as long as the energy shield has energy replenishment, it can protect the space battleship intact and will not be hurt at all.
"Well, on the one hand, we can speed up the research on energy weapons, and on the other hand, we can't put all our hopes on it. It's useless to rely on sneak attacks on the Kolov Empire's native army with 50,000 fleets."
Chen Bin, who has always been steady, thought for a long time and said in a worried tone.
"A sneak attack is definitely not an option. With the energy and magnetic weapons we have now, we have no way to directly break the defense of the Kolov Empire's warships. We can only rely on powerful attacks to continuously consume the energy of the enemy's warships. In this case, our army and the Kolov Empire's warships can't do anything to each other, and can only rely on energy consumption tactics to win."
"But the Kolov Empire has as many as 50,000 fleets, and we only have 1,000 fleets. The difference in number is too big. If we compete in consumption, we will definitely not be able to beat them."
The others also nodded, and the topic returned to the beginning. Everyone frowned again and pondered.
"Without any other options, we can only rely on the geographical advantages of the entrances and exits of the space-time ocean currents to defend, and guard the three key points between the main spiral arm and the secondary spiral arm, the Seville Galaxy, the Sirerosi Galaxy, and the Blanca Galaxy. In areas like the entrances and exits of the space-time ocean currents, the other side cannot deploy even if they have more space battleships, and can only be slowly eliminated by our concentrated fire."
Even Yu Liang, who has always been optimistic, said in a helpless tone at this time, there is no other way, the difference in numbers is too great.
"It would be great if our empire also had tens of thousands of space fleets. We wouldn't have to be afraid of the Kolov Empire in a head-on fight. With the nuclear fusion reactors on our warships, we can wear them out."
"No, even if we have tens of thousands of fleets, we can't shake the Kolov Empire's rule over the Orion Arm. Their standing fleet strength is as many as 500,000 fleets. If mobilized, 5 million fleets can be armed. This is their powerful strength accumulated over a long period of time, which is not something our empire can compare to in a short time."
"If we want to defeat the Kolov Empire, then we still have to start from the means of science and technology and research more powerful technology. By then, even if we only have 1,000 fleets, it will be enough to shake the rule of the Kolov Empire."
Hearing Yu Liang's words, Li Fu shook his head. If he wanted to really defeat the Kolov Empire, he could only rely on technology. It was impossible to beat the Kolov Empire in terms of numbers. After all, the other side's territory, population, and history were all there, which were definitely not comparable to the current empire. At least for a long time, the empire could not compete with the Kolov Empire in terms of numbers.
Of course, Li Fu himself is also very confident. In 10 years, Li Fu believes that he can confidently research a more powerful attack. On the one hand, it is because he has the guidance and help of the seeds of civilization, and on the other hand, it is because the empire has developed and accumulated over the years, and talents have emerged in large numbers.
With the help of Yuanli cultivation, the quality of the empire's population has been greatly improved, and the talents emerging from the younger generation are like carp crossing the river. 10 years is enough time for earth-shaking changes.
"We will do three main things in the next 10 years. The first is to concentrate our empire's scientific research power and study level 8 energy weapons with all our strength, and strive to apply level 8 energy weapons to our empire's warships before the Kolov Empire's army reaches the sub-spiral arm."
"The second thing is to build a strong defense system in the Seville Galaxy, the Xilelo Galaxy, and the Blanca Galaxy. If we can't develop level 8 energy attack weapons within 10 years, then we can only rely on the geographical advantages of the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean currents, and slowly consume the Kolov Empire."
"The third thing is to continue to hunt down the remaining coalition forces on the sub-spiral arm, clean up the entire sub-spiral arm, clean up the house, and prepare for the empire to occupy the entire sub-spiral arm in the future, especially the remaining level 3 cosmic civilizations, not one will be left, and all will be eliminated during this period, leaving no future troubles."
Li Fu sorted out the words he wanted to say in his mind and said what he needed to do in the next 10 years.
"Yes."
The others responded very carefully, with solemn expressions on their faces. In 10 years, the empire has reached the most critical moment. If it can move forward as planned in these 10 years, the empire will usher in a historic transformation.
Once the energy attack weapon with level 8 strength is mastered, the local tyrant Kolov Empire on the Orion Arm will no longer pose any threat to the empire, and the entire Orion Arm will surely belong to the empire.
If everything does not go smoothly, the empire can only rely on the geographical advantages of the space-time ocean currents and the Kolov Empire's army to consume. In that case, the empire will be very passive. After all, the foundation is weak and it cannot afford to consume. More importantly, the Kolov Empire also has a mysterious ace force. The next 10 years are very critical.
