Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 137 Retreat, retreat!

After realizing that the enemy had invested most of its combat power into the battlefield, the large amount of supplies that had been produced continuously during this period and piled up in the warehouses, even causing the warehouses to be overflowing, including various types of unmanned warships, huge amounts of chemical fuels and two types of nuclear fuels, uranium and plutonium, huge amounts of electromagnetic gun projectiles, spare parts, satellites, mines, etc., finally had a place to go.

With the space elevator stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers as the exit, these supplies poured into the vast starry sky at an unimaginable speed like a flood after a dam collapsed.

Countless huge warehouses were emptied in an instant.

But it doesn't matter.

In addition to these finished war supplies, Li Qingsong also stockpiled enough raw materials.

Those raw materials such as gold, silver, copper, iron, chemical raw materials, fuel, etc. piled up and even filled several huge canyons on the planet.

In addition to these raw materials that were stockpiled in advance, in the Uranus system, Li Qingsong's mines, biological resource factories, etc. are also operating at full capacity.

Mountains and seas of raw materials poured into the factories. With the dedicated work of over 100 million clones, a huge amount of finished products was produced, filling up the empty warehouses in a short period of time.
Heavy-load trains once again transported these supplies to the space elevator base and put them into the interstellar battlefield, and supplies were produced again in the factories.

A balance has basically been reached between investment and production.

But this is not all.

In addition to unmanned combat weapons, Li Qingsong even produces manned warships on site.

The production cycle of Earth-class and Venus-class battleships is too long, and on-site production may not be possible, so they can only be allocated from other planets.

Then just produce Mercury-class battleships!

In the spacecraft assembly plant, one Mercury-class battleship after another with a diameter of about 16 meters and a total mass of about 300 tons was produced.

Every time a Mercury-class battleship appears, eight clones will immediately appear. Without any prior training or learning, they can immediately transform into qualified and excellent space warriors, maneuvering the Mercury-class battleship to quickly head towards the starry sky and join the war.

On average, 500 manned warships are added to the interstellar battlefield every day, which means that about 8000 clones driving spacecraft alone are added from the planet to space every day.

In addition to the front-line fighters, the clones on the logistics front who are responsible for maintenance, repair, deployment, and assistance suffer more than 10 casualties every day and also need to be replenished from the planet.

But this total consumption of about 11 clones only accounts for a small part of all Li Qingsong's clones at the moment.

The largest portion of the consumption was the clones that died accidentally due to stray bullet attacks in various ground factories.

Ground-based air defense firepower had blocked at least 99.99% of attacks from space, but the few remaining weapons, such as electromagnetic cannon projectiles and missiles, still caused heavy casualties among the clones.

And there are more indirect casualties.

For example, a factory is hit, causing an explosion or fire that kills the clones, or they go to repair the factory and encounter an accident that leads to their death.

The number of casualties among this group of clones reaches over 90 every day!

The total number adds up to an average of more than one million clone casualties every day!
No civilization could withstand such huge casualties.

But for Li Qingsong, it doesn't matter.

In the hibernation bases built underground on Uranus's major satellites, clones were awakened from hibernation at every moment, then lined up to leave the base, just like a water tower transporting tap water, following different routes to different terminals, either to replenish factories, or to replenish battlefields, or to replenish land-based air defense bases, or to replenish mines...

Just replenish as much as you lose, there won’t be any delay at all.

Under such circumstances, Li Qingsong's replenishment of unmanned combat forces in the interstellar battlefield truly reached its peak.

There are as many as 50 large factories that produce interstellar mines alone. Each factory has 1000 assembly lines, and the total output is billions per day!

The same goes for unmanned warships, armed satellites, artillery batteries, missiles, and so on. In the interstellar battlefield, the Bluetuk civilization fleet truly has the upper hand, effectively annihilating its own unmanned combat forces, and the Bluetuk civilization is powerless to stop them.

Then don’t stop it!

No matter how small your casualties are, they are still casualties, and every ship destroyed is one less. But my supplies are endless!

Why do you think I didn't take out so many unmanned combat weapons before?
If you had taken them out at the beginning, how could you have sent so many warships into the battlefield!

You think this is my weakness, but this is a trap I set!
Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!
Amidst the almost frantic production and supply, the war in the vast starry sea becomes increasingly brutal.

General Harrier's expression grew increasingly serious.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The situation doesn't seem to be developing in this way.

We clearly have the upper hand on the battlefield, but why do we feel increasingly restricted?
It felt like a big, strong insect that had stumbled into a spiderweb. The web was clearly fragile and could be easily broken free, but after every one strand, ten more strands of silk entangled it. The more I struggled, the more strands I was entangled in.

He issued a reconnaissance order, and within moments, the relevant data was compiled by the staff and presented to him.

So he was somewhat horrified to see that the number of interstellar mines replenished by the opponent every day was as high as billions!
Tens of thousands of unmanned warships of various types!
Thousands of those weird nuclear missiles!

Hundreds of thousands of armed satellites!

A drop of cold sweat gradually seeped out from his dense silvery-white scales.

The enemy's logistical support capabilities are surprisingly strong to this extent...

In this case, how can we possibly achieve the goal of destroying the opponent's unmanned combat forces?
Since it cannot be achieved, then...

"Retreat! I order, retreat immediately! The Second, Third, and Ninth Fleets will cover the rear, all other fleets, retreat!"

what? !

Many staff officers looked at their chief officer in horror.

At this time, an emergency retreat? We clearly have a huge advantage?

Besides, the battle was so intense that if we retreated forcibly, we would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"Commander, you..."

"I said, organize a retreat immediately! If you delay any longer, it might be too late... I'll explain to the Führer afterwards!"

……

The fierce and brutal battle finally came to an end. Looking at the Bluetuk fleet speeding away from the battlefield, Li Qingsong felt a slight sense of regret.

"The enemy commander was so decisive. This was beyond my expectation. However..."

Looking at the statistical results of the battle, Li Qingsong began to feel excited again.

"In the first battle, we were able to destroy 20,000 enemy warships. Not bad!"
