Chapter 132 War
After hearing Fang Min's introduction, Qi Yiming no longer cared about the Wise.
After briefly arranging the defense of Gaia and the Engineer, he commanded the Snow Peak to set off again.
He planned to go to the Cloud Ring Federation to check the situation and confirm whether the Zerg's attack was a test before the general attack or an accident.
If it was a test before the Zerg's general attack, Qi Yiming felt that they had to prepare to run away now.
It was not that Qi Yiming did not want to confront the Zerg head-on, but with their current strength, they were not good enough in the eyes of the Zerg master.
In this case, it would be better to run away early, maybe they could save the last spark for mankind.
On the way to the Cloud Ring Federation, Qi Yiming was very careful.
He did not go directly from the Ancestral Star Domain, but passed through the Commercial Alliance and detoured to the Turing Republic before entering the Cloud Ring Federation.
The moment he entered the Cloud Ring Federation, Qi Yiming felt the difference in the atmosphere.
After a large number of fleets gathered at the airport, they set off to the southeast border together.
Although the warships are of varying levels, and most of them are just standard warships sold by arms dealers to mercenaries, there is certainly a big gap between these warships and regular troops, but fortunately there are a considerable number.
But in Qi Yiming's view, this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket. How many of these people can come back? Qi Yiming is very pessimistic.
According to the initial news he got, the main fleet of the Yunhuan Federation has almost fought, but the war against the Zerg has not ended yet.
Now we can see so many fleets gathering, all because the Yunhuan Federation sent an open letter of help to all human forces, bringing the Zerg, the biggest enemy of mankind, out of the water.
At this time, the matter of the Zerg has completely set off a storm in the human world.
With so many volunteers coming to support the Yunhuan Empire, Qi Yiming felt a little comfort from the bottom of his heart.
This shows that when humans face alien invasions, there are still some people with lofty ideals standing on the front line of resisting invasions.
Qi Yiming decided to go to the capital star of the Yunhuan Federation to inquire about the progress of the war, and then decide whether to go back and pack up and run away.
The state of the capital star system of the Yunhuan Federation at this time is different from the free ports of the surrounding star systems. A large number of support fleets from other countries have gathered here.
They have brought various materials and a small number of new warships that have just come off the production line to the Yunhuan Federation.
The synchronous orbit of the Yunhuan Star, the capital star of the Yunhuan Federation, has long been turned into a large logistics center. After the materials supported by other countries are distributed here, they are shipped again to the warship production factories established by the Yunhuan Federation in various places.
When the Xuefeng docked at the airport above the Yunhuan Star, Qi Yiming saw a large number of young faces here, queuing up to board the transport ship.
Qi Yiming had seen this situation in the era of the Human Federation. Qi Yiming knew that these young people would be assigned to the ship after a short training, and then put into the battlefield to fight a war of attrition with the Zerg.
At the most tense period of the war, the Human Federation even lowered the conscription age to fourteen years old, but it still couldn't keep up with the consumption on the front line.
When human lives are just a string of numbers in the eyes of the commander, the cruelty of the war has reached an unimaginable level.
Qi Yiming found a volunteer registration office in the airport, and he was going to go over to inquire about the progress of the war.
Before he got close, he heard a girl holding a megaphone and saying loudly: "Volunteers with warships, please go directly to the room behind me, and someone will receive you. Those who failed the physical examination and were rejected by the military, please line up in front of me if you want to contribute to humanity."
Qi Yiming didn't stay for long and walked directly into the room.
The room was not big, and many people had gathered inside, listening to the speech of the middle-aged man wearing the Yunhuan Federation military uniform on the high platform in the middle of the room.
"Dear captains... First of all, thank you for coming to support." The middle-aged officer wanted to continue to be polite, but was interrupted by the people around him.
"We are not here to listen to your praises. Just tell us about the war on the front line and what we volunteers will be assigned to do."
The officer smiled awkwardly and continued, "The war on the front line is basically stable now. Our army has stabilized the front line in the Cap and Vinson galaxies."
When the officer said this, his face showed joy inadvertently. It seemed that he was very happy about the progress of the war on the front line.
Qi Yiming had never been to the front line. He could not draw conclusions too early about the situation of the Zerg swarm. He could only listen carefully to the following.
According to the officer, there is a Turner galaxy between the Cap and Vinson galaxies.
It is the fulcrum of the entire defense line. If it is broken by the Zerg swarm, humans will have to abandon the defense line that has just been stabilized and continue to retreat to the heart of the Cloud Ring Federation.
If they support and join the fleet to resist the Zerg swarm, they will be reinforced to the Seventh Fleet of the Cloud Ring Federation and follow the Seventh Fleet to the Turner galaxy to strengthen the defense there.
Qi Yiming didn't want to join the volunteer fleet at first, but after entering the war zone without a pass, his Xuefeng would not be regarded as a spy of the Zerg, but it would definitely be difficult to move forward.
Qi Yiming had no choice but to sign up to join the volunteer fleet and follow the Seventh Fleet of the Cloud Ring Federation to the front line.
The Seventh Fleet is a task force with 15 battleships, and it is also a standard full-strength fleet with battleships as the main combat force.
The warships of the entire fleet were sent by the Turing Republic from their Third Task Force.
Except for the lack of people, the Third Task Force was sent to the Cloud Ring Federation together with the transport ship responsible for the logistics of this fleet.
After a simple reorganization, the Cloud Ring Federation formed the current Seventh Fleet. After completing the volunteer information, Qi Yiming returned to the battleship with the communication identifier assigned to the Xuefeng.
Then he commanded the Xuefeng to leave the port and report to the Seventh Fleet's temporary station in the Cloud Ring Federation's capital galaxy.
The station was not far from the airport where Qi Yiming was docked. After accelerating into the jump mode, the Xuefeng arrived at the destination in just half an hour.
After leaving the jump channel, fifteen giant battleships with a hull length of 30 kilometers came into view. The rectangular hull was a unique feature of the Turing Republic's warships. They never pursued gorgeousness, but only efficiency and convenience.
The main guns covering the hull made Qi Yiming tremble. If the Xuefeng was under such a warship, it would definitely not be able to withstand two rounds of main gun salvos.
Then there were the battlecruisers responsible for filling the front line, a total of 100 ships.
The mushroom-shaped hull with a length of more than 20 kilometers looked a bit cute in contrast, and the semicircular bow was also covered with various types of main guns.
There were more cruisers and destroyers. Qi Yiming roughly counted them. The number of cruisers was twice that of battlecruisers, and the number of destroyers was as many as 500. The number of frigates was so large that Qi Yiming could not count them.
Qi Yiming felt his blood boiling instantly. This is what a real interstellar war should look like.
Although the number of warships is far less than that of a local garrison fleet of the Human Federation, this is the first time that Qi Yiming has truly witnessed the strength of the human regular fleet since he woke up.
The updates were a bit lagging in the past two days. There were too many things at home. Sorry, it should be normal from today.
