Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

The oppressive feeling that life is in a precarious situation and may be extinguished at any moment like a candle in the wind is unbearable for ordinary people.

This is actually the case in every actual combat, and you will suffer from this kind of pressure. However, in the battle with the lava beast, this pressure is greater and more obvious.

The reason is simple. This group of lava beasts is too fierce and attacks too fiercely.

This caused huge damage to our own side. At this point in the war, there have been more than 3000 warships and more than 30 human soldiers died.

However, the human warriors who had undergone decades of arduous training showed unimaginable tenacity at this moment.

The formation of a huge fleet composed of 100,000 warships was still not scattered at all at this moment, and the intensity of the firepower net was not reduced at all!

The battleships in the front were destroyed, and the battleships in the rear were immediately replaced.

The fire network next to it was penetrated by the fierce attack of the lava beast, and a loophole appeared. Even if it knew that if it went up, it would be subject to concentrated fire, the battleship next to it would not hesitate to maneuver over and fill this loophole.

One after another, the connection is endless.

Under this situation, the lava beast cluster on the other side of the battle line, which had suffered more than 30% casualties, finally could no longer withstand it.

Following the silent roar of one of the particularly huge lava beasts, the remaining approximately 20,000 lava beasts turned around at the same time and began to flee away from the human fleet.

The battle is over.

Lu Xinghe watched the fleeing lava beasts with cold eyes and did not order a pursuit.

Our strategic goals have been initially achieved. It would be unwise to go in too hastily.

From this moment on, Planet 4 is temporarily under human control.

The remaining satellites of Planet 4 have not been attacked by humans. However, even Satellite 43, where the large-scale lava beasts gathered, was lost, and all the lava beasts on the other satellites were obviously gone.

Taking stock of this battle, Lu Xinghe had a deeper understanding of Luo Zhaoyangdong's original words.

"The more you are afraid of death, the more you will die. The less you are afraid of death, the less you will die."

Recalling the previous battle and the lava beast's fierce and fearless attack, Lu Xinghe knew that if his side failed to withstand the attack at that time, resulting in the formation being scattered, holes in the fire network, and even confusion and starting to escape, then , the only outcome for our side is to be divided and annihilated by the lava beasts in the chaos.

It is very possible that half of the first batch of 100,000 warships participating in the war would be wiped out, not to mention being wiped out.

The most important thing is that in this way, the human side will lose more courage to confront the lava beast head-on. In the subsequent tough battles, it will only collapse faster.

Fortunately, the human warriors passed this test.

"Sure enough, lava beasts are the most suitable target for us. If we look at other civilizations, even if they are rated 3.8 or 3.9, as long as they are not a fourth-level civilization with a qualitative change in combat power, as long as they cannot choose to die rather than retreat, they will be destroyed by lava. The beast is defeated.”

After occupying Planet 4 and its satellites, the space carrier, logistics fleet, etc., which were heavily guarded, could finally begin logistics construction operations.

More than 43 million engineers and workers, as well as a huge amount of machinery, descended on Satellite and launched large-scale construction activities.

A series of factories and facilities were built, including spaceship docks, field hospitals, land-based air defense bases, automated combat facilities, etc.

After completing the establishment of the logistics system, another crucial task began.

Construction of the Planetary Thruster Factory.

The lava that was penetrated by the lava beasts through the earth's crust, emerged from the core of the planet, and then cooled contained a large amount of rare minerals.

Rare earth elements, gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. are all available, which can be used to build huge mines to mine them to provide logistics and the construction and production of planetary thruster factories.

Generally speaking, moons are relatively barren because of their small size. Even if it is not barren, enough useful mineral resources are usually deposited in the core of the planet, making it extremely difficult to mine.

Satellite 43 was riddled with holes by lava beasts, but it just created a situation suitable for mining.

This is why Lu Xinghe set the first target planet as Satellite No. 43.

Under this situation, huge mines emerged on the former lava lake, and huge supporting factories and assembly plants appeared.

More than 100 million engineers and workers, at least a hundred times that number of robots and intelligent equipment, began production on an extremely large scale at the same time.

After completing all the arrangements, Lu Xinghe divided the huge human fleet into three. The smallest fleet was stationed on Planet 4, the medium-sized fleet headed for Planet 5, and the largest fleet had about 17 ships. The fleet of battleships rushed directly to Planet 3.

Planet 3 is a large rocky planet. There are more than 10 lava beasts stationed on it.

One year later.

The human fleets won two battles. The two human fleets won victory in the battlefield of Planet 5 and the battlefield of Planet 3 respectively, defeating the lava beasts stationed in and around these two planets.

A total of 23 warships participated in the battle. In the battle with a total of 12 lava beasts, about 5000 warships were destroyed, but a full 3 lava beasts were annihilated.

Although they failed to annihilate them all, they achieved a further strategic goal: compressing the lava beasts' activity space and causing them to converge on Planet No. 1. Among them, the lava beasts once again showed that extremely fierce fighting style, trying to overwhelm the human front and crush the fighting will of the human warriors.

Unfortunately, they failed to achieve this goal. In front of the human warriors who would rather die than retreat, they retreated again.

After capturing the two planets, Lu Xinghe did not leave a fleet to garrison. Instead, he transported a large number of automated defense facilities from Planet 4 to provide basic protection for the two planets and the surrounding satellites.

It is obviously impossible to block the attack of large-scale lava beasts by relying solely on the automated defense system. At most, it can only eliminate or block the attack of a small group of no more than 1000 lava beasts.

This is enough. Because if there were more lava beasts, Lu Xinghe would send a fleet directly to stop them.

After that, the two fleets met, and a total of about 22 warships converged on Planet 2 at the same time.

At this moment, the only ones with large-scale lava beasts gathering are Planets 1 and 2.

There are more than 2 lava beasts gathered here on Planet 15. Lu Xinghe originally thought that this would be a tough battle. He had even prepared to lose more than 1 warships in order to occupy the planet, but something unexpected happened.

Before the huge fleet even approached Planet 2, more than 15 lava beasts on this planet took off together, voluntarily evacuated the planet, and actively gathered towards Planet 1.

They... ran away.

Lu Xinghe directly accepted Planet No. 2, and then deployed an automated defense system to guard against the approach of small groups of lava beasts.

At this point, the number of lava beasts in the YT-621 galaxy is estimated to be about 65, and more than 99% of them have gathered on Planet 1.

It can be said that the main force of the Lava Beast has not been damaged yet. However, Planet 1, where many "soldiers" gathered, has the most powerful combat power since the beginning of the war.

At this point, Lu Xinghe's early strategy was completed.

Planet 1 is clearly a tough nut to crack. The attack on Planet 1 is obviously a tough battle, an unprecedented overall decisive battle.

However, the mid-term strategy requires Lu Xinghe to win this battle. No matter what the price is, no matter how many people die or how many battleships are destroyed, we must win.

Only in this way can the mid-term strategy be completed, conditions can be created for the implementation of the later-stage strategy, and the entire war can be won.

For this tough battle, Lu Xinghe made extremely good preparations.

Planet No. 4, which has established a complete logistics system, has stocked an astonishing amount of combat readiness supplies.

Various parts, various specifications of energy cannon projectiles, fuel, various automated combat facilities, etc. are so large that they even require human space carriers to transport them.

This is all produced by people themselves. Han Yang did not invest in computing power and engineering capabilities here. Because at this moment, he has already devoted most of his computing power to scientific research and has no time to care about anything else.

The few hundred dummies can be completely ignored and are only set up to grasp the situation on the front line.

Here, more than 100 million engineers and workers work hard and risk their lives.

The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, and the workers in the rear are also fighting a desperate battle.

The factory is the battlefield, and the machines are the battleships.

Under such circumstances, on the eve of the start of the mid-term strategy, the soldiers on the logistics battlefield completed the production requirements as scheduled and sent countless combat readiness materials to the front line.

Facing a total of about 65 powerful lava beasts, and facing this powerful and strange life that can be called a biological warship, a total of 22 human warships and countless automated combat facilities began their fierce attack at the same time.

Millions of electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons intertwined to form a powerful firepower network, interstellar mines and interstellar turrets bombarded fiercely, and miniature interstellar missiles dragged long tail flames in and out.

This place has turned into a blazing hell.

The lava beasts are obviously unwilling to give up this home that has survived for thousands of years, and are unwilling to take all kinds of risks and embark on an interstellar voyage that is destined to be difficult.

Since he is unwilling to give up, the only way is to kill these hateful weak beings and destroy these damn steel battleships.

The lava beasts guarding Planet 1 have no retreat.

Their counterattack is more determined and more violent.

"Tan Jinlong, firepower point 9 must be defended and sufficient firepower must be maintained to suppress it."

At the General Headquarters, Commander Lu Xinghe issued the order to Commander Tan Jinlong of the Seventh Squadron without any emotion.

There was a trace of struggle in Tan Jinlong's eyes, but it was only for a moment. The next moment, his vision returned to coldness and rationality.

"114 fleets, sticking to firepower point 9, no support. Repeat, no support." (End of this chapter)
