Chapter 160 Harvest
In addition, there are 20 groups of engineers who specialize in the construction of various transport ships, industrial ships, maintenance ships and other civilian ships.

In addition, there are senior crew members and ordinary crew members who can configure two large branch fleets.

"what a pity!"

Talent is talent, but he can't use it.

Except for the ten chief engineers of battleships who can be transformed into servants of light and can continue to be used, the others are useless.

According to the appearance of the Shata people, there is a high probability that they will end up badly after being conquered in the future. Even if they are not exterminated, they will be disarmed, and the meat quality will be adjusted with genetic technology, and then they will be raised in captivity and reduced to food animals.

This is not to scare people, it is real.

In the course of the development of human civilization, many civilizations have been conquered, but now we have not seen many alien civilizations within the sphere of human influence, most of them have been extinct, and a few have been reduced to pets or food, or entered zoos to be watched.

They were raised in captivity when they were born, they were not allowed to receive any knowledge, and they were not allowed to speak since childhood. Over time, they naturally forgot their own civilization and knowledge, and civilization was cut off. The IQ of the new generation will gradually degenerate. After genetic technology adjustment The human body will also slowly degenerate, and gradually become no different from animals. At most, they used to be intelligent creatures, which are smarter and better domesticated than ordinary beasts.

The cold universe is beautiful and cruel.

There is only one life and death between civilization and civilization in order to survive. Although it is not as completely extreme as the dark forest, the difference is not big.

There is absolutely no day of peaceful coexistence between different civilizations, even two civilizations that are exactly the same.

If human beings encounter a second human civilization that looks exactly like themselves in the human universe, the first reaction is definitely not curiosity, but vigilance.

It is absolutely impossible for two identical species to appear in the universe. If two identical species appear, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that they used to have the same origin, for example, two civilizations originated from the same birthplace, but one walked out of the planet first.

Or the civilization was once destroyed, and both branches were developed by the fish that slipped through the net of the destroyed civilization. For example, if the United Empire of Mankind is destroyed and a large number of humans escape, if these escaped humans can escape the pursuit and re-develop on the other side of the starry sky, This is also homologous.

Another possibility is to be a little anxious.

As we all know, there are three mainstream ascension routes in the universe, mind is better than matter, spiritual ascension; flesh and blood is weak, mechanical ascension; design evolution, genetic ascension.

When genetic technology reaches a certain level, you can use genetic technology to design your own genes, strengthen your body, change your appearance or shape, etc., or use genetic technology to forcibly create creatures, create a new species, and so on.

It is not surprising at all to redesign a species by imitating a certain race, or if you are not satisfied with the appearance of your own species, and transform the appearance design of your own species into another satisfactory species through genetic design.

Or some genetic ascension masters can directly upgrade a dog through genetic technology, from physical body to intelligence level.

From a dog to a kobold, and then from a kobold to a tiger-headed man, a dinosaur man, an elephant man, etc., as long as your genetic modification technology is good enough, you can do it.

Therefore, redesigning a race into a species that is exactly the same as a certain race is basically a small KISS for those genetic masters. What they prefer to do is artificial legendary creatures, artificial Leviathan.

Having said that, it was precisely because he could imagine how miserable the Shatar people would be that he did not dare to use these Shatar people. He only dared to use these Shatar people when they were turned into servants of light at most.

And when turned into a servant of light, from the body to the mind, and then the will is distorted, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Shata people.

The number of Servants of Enchanting Light is too small, only one per month and twelve per year. There is no way to retain too many talents, only these ten chief engineers of battleships can be retained.

Unconsciously, more than half a month has passed. The giant shipyard has been divided into the Palm Universe, and many Shar slaves have also been collected. After counting, there are about 3108 million, and all of them have been collected into the warehouse area, which is the same as the previous Shar slaves. People gather together, and the former Shar people do the ideological work.

After more than half a month, except for the occasional small fleet jumping in for reconnaissance, no enemy came. On the contrary, on the No. A fleet of extra-conventional warships that were more powerful than them rushed over and were preparing to attack the Shata III galaxy, which was only seven hops away.

They also discovered the Jialan Legion that was plundering Shata No. [-]. Gu Shenzhou sent someone to ask him if he wanted to send a fleet there, but Li Qing refused.

The garrison over there is not much different from that of the giant shipyard. It is not a problem to capture it with the strength of a joint team, but it will definitely not be so easy.

Although he didn't go there, Li Qing was still very concerned about the battle situation there. He wanted to see if the battle situation over there was deadlocked, and the capital of the southern province of Shata, which was only one jump away, would send reinforcements over.

Not sending the combined fleet to destroy this garrison can also relieve the pressure on himself. If reinforcements are sent over, the pressure will be reduced when he enters the reef lair later.

It’s not like staying in this galaxy every day these days. The small ships and occasional small fleets sent out to scout around have almost touched the galaxy near the reef lair.

Ever since he knew that he had a Titan super-flag and three flagships here, and found out their strength through the garrison here, the division-level fleet stationed in the capital of the southern province stayed there, and it seemed that they wanted to defend to the death. capital.

Li Qing didn't think about seduce tactics, it's useless, the opponent will definitely not come out, he can only attack by force.

The plunder was almost complete, and that day Li Qing finally ordered the fleet to move towards the MK471 galaxy.

It is the galaxy at the crossroads, from there is the Shata-[-] galaxy to the north, the Shata-[-] galaxy to the south, the Human Expeditionary Force to the west, and the six galaxies to the east are the Reef Lair, the capital of the southern province of the Shata Civilization.

It is very strange that this critical intersection galaxy has no defenders, it is empty.

But looking at the entire star map, it is not uncommon for there to be no defenders.

From their point of view, this is a key intersection, but from the perspective of Shatta Civilization, it is just an ordinary intersection. There are roads from other locations to the capital system. Looking at the entire southern province as a whole, there are only two key intersections. , one is the Quelta Fortress galaxy, and the other is behind the capital galaxy, the Locke Fortress at the junction between the southern province and another province within the Shatta civilization.

There is a key intersection, and there is a crack extending from the interference zone. Not only is the difficulty of the transition soaring, but the hyperspace channels of the surrounding galaxies are also broken. The remaining hyperspace channels are just connected to this critical intersection galaxy. The source's transition strength bonus, under normal circumstances, even the flagship is difficult to directly transition over.

The Shatta Civilization established a fortress system in that system, with two entire division-level fleets stationed there year-round.

This is also one of the risks that Li Qing has considered. If support is needed over there, although it cannot jump directly due to the environment, it will only take about a week to reach the Reef Nest System if prepared.

In other words, he must completely defeat the defenders in the reef lair within a week, and then block the support from the fortress galaxy.

Up to now, Li Qing has guessed some unreasonable places in the Shata civilization. Why the central government does not directly support it? The high probability is that the southern province belongs to the sphere of influence of one of the eight tribes in Shata, and the central government belongs to another tribe. Although these tribes have jointly formed a powerful civilization, they are not of the same tribe after all, and the union is not very close, so everyone is still wary of each other.

The possibility of this guess is very high. If they are all of the same race, they can sweep out the expeditionary army with just some support.

Li Qing thinks that the fundamental reason for this kind of thinking error is that the Shata Tribe United Civilization simply does not know how strong human civilization is. In their eyes, human civilization is probably as strong as the Yu clan in Jinmen. They probably think that Jin is The Menyu clan is human civilization.

If this is used as a reference, the strength of the Jinmen Yu clan is definitely not as good as that of the entire Shata tribe. In addition, the main force of the Shata civilization is now fighting with the Sivis Council on the other side. The Shata does not want to fight on three sides. It is not impossible for people to abandon the southern provinces strategically.

After all, it was just giving up one of the tribes. There are eight tribes in the Shata, and the loss of one other tribe can get more benefits.

In the Shata III galaxy, there is a huge barren planet suspended in an orbit more than 1 million kilometers away from the main sequence star. In addition to two satellites, there are hundreds of habitation stations in the orbit of the planet. There are tens of billions of Shata people living in this huge residential complex.

On the planet, there is a huge industrial base, and densely packed civilian ships are shuttling back and forth between the residential stations, transporting large numbers of civilians away.

In the void, millions of kilometers away from the residential stations, two extremely large fleets were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Energy light beams lit up one after another, and from time to time, the flames of battleship explosions rose and lit up the void.

In less than an hour of fighting, the combined fleet with the advantage of ship capacity has already gained the upper hand.

If there are no accidents, victory is inevitable. The difference lies in when the enemy collapses and how much your own losses are.

"Bingfeng, your fleet is slowly leaving the battlefield. They will definitely find a way to escape. I need you to intercept them later."

Gu Shenzhou, the interim commander-in-chief of the United Fleet, is closely watching the ever-changing battlefield, and keeps issuing various orders:

"Blade, did you see the mark I sent you? If you pass the intercepted signal, there is a high probability that it is one of the enemy's command flagships. I need you to sink it at any cost."

"Tianji, in the latest news I'm sending you now, keep an eye on the movement of all blue-marked enemy ships. If there is no abnormality, you can continue to implement tactics. If there is an abnormality, intercept it immediately."

"Everyone, the enemy has fallen into a disadvantage, just follow my orders to entangle them. Victory must be ours. This galaxy has tens of billions of people and a huge amount of supplies. As long as we capture it, we can make a lot of money. No matter how big it was before, All losses can be recovered.”

When Li Qing's fleet came over, the battle had already entered a fierce state. The isolated and helpless defenders fought a desperate battle with the United Fleet, and the battle was quite fierce.

There are burning and smoking wrecks of warships everywhere in the void, and a large number of rescue pods are drifting among the wreckages. The defenders have suffered heavy losses but are still stubbornly resisting.

A normal fleet will waver when it loses more than 30%, and it is close to collapse when it loses more than 50%. Very few elites can last longer, but they will definitely not be able to fight to the death like in myths and novels, unless they have special His talent can make his subordinates not fear life and death.

If the same faction is fighting normally, one of the parties has already started to flee or seek peace according to the current battle loss rate.

But now it is a battle between civilizations, and there is no surrender.

Once unable to escape, there is only one way to fight to the death.

Li Qing himself did not participate in the battle, but he sent Li Qi and Li Lie to lead their fleets to circle around and prepare to intercept them.

Without a flagship, the battle would last a long time. Even if it had an absolute advantage, it still took the combined fleet eight hours to defeat its opponent, and it would take even longer to clear out the defeated troops.

Li Qing was not in a hurry, and waited until they had wiped out all the defeated troops before leading the fleet to approach the huge residential station group in the center of the galaxy.

During the communication, Li Qing looked at Gu Shenzhou, Feng Lixiu and three unknown team leaders and said:
"Congratulations on taking this galaxy."

Gu Chenzhou sighed and said:
"Although it was won, the loss was heavy. A total of nearly 200 battleships, more than 400 cruisers, more than 2000 destroyers, and more than [-] frigates were sunk."

Li Qing said with a smile:

"That doesn't matter. Look at the gains in this galaxy. There are so many residential stations and at least tens of billions of people. I don't know how much supplies are enough to make up for all the losses."

"Hope it!"

Li Qing smiled and said nothing, he was just crying poor.

As soon as his eyes fell on the light screen in front of him, the screen showed that there was a cluster of hundreds of residential stations above the orbit of the planet, which looked like bunches of grapes hanging above the orbit of the planet.

This residential station group is divided into five groups in total, one large and four small. The largest one is composed of seventy or eighty large and small residential stations, and the largest giant residential station has a diameter of two hundred kilometers.

They brought a large number of industrial ships and transport ships. After the battle, they entered and stopped in the orbit of the planet. A large number of clone warriors entered the residence station in assault boats to drive out the Shata people in the residence station.

In fact, the best way of hauling is to use a tractor beam on a large or giant industrial ship to pull these living stations off the track, and haul them back like a trailer for normal transportation.

But if you want to do this, you must completely seal each residential station, otherwise you will not be able to pass the hyperspace channel.

This is a big project, and it is not as laborious as transporting it directly with a treated trailer.

Of course, there is another important reason. Li Qing said he wanted these residential stations before, but they couldn't do it even if they wanted to.
