Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 138 Let You Go

The Uranus system, which was originally filled with rumbling artillery fire and countless shining stars, has now become quiet.

But the fierce battle that lasted only a dozen days still left an indelible mark in this galaxy.

In the orbit around Uranus and above the orbits of its satellites, there are all kinds of debris and fragments moving at extremely high speeds.

Warships blown in two, satellites with only a small part left, emplacements riddled with holes, and so on can be seen everywhere.

Even Uranus has obvious traces of this war.

It was originally light blue, but now, there is a hint of gray in its light blue.

It was formed by the high-speed collision of countless projectiles and debris.

An electromagnetic cannon projectile, no matter how fast it is, can only disappear in the thick gas layer of Uranus like a micrometeor, and the little burning trace left behind will disappear in an instant.

But what if there are 100 million, 10 billion, or 1 trillion?

Not to mention the countless wreckage of equipment. Even an Earth-class battleship belonging to Li Qingsong had its propulsion system destroyed and irreversibly crashed into Uranus, taking with it hundreds of clones, and merging with Uranus.

Under these continuous impacts, Uranus became what it is today.

This shows how fierce and massive this battle was.

At this moment, facing the wreckage on the ground and the situation where hundreds of millions of his clones were killed, Li Qingsong was full of excitement.

No matter what, I win!

I repelled the attacking fleet and destroyed more than 20,000 of their warships!

In a trance, Li Qingsong recalled the technological breakthroughs over the past few hundred years, the tireless pursuit of scientific and technological breakthroughs, and the continuous investment of all resources, brainpower, and hard work at all costs...

I deserve this victory!
After a long period of excitement, Li Qingsong finally controlled his emotions and turned his attention to another problem.

Regardless, we're currently on the defensive. So, what will the opponent do in the next phase? And how should we respond?

Controlling 200 million brains at the same time, with the assistance of Wukong AI, Li Qingsong once again began to think and speculate, and made corresponding adjustments and arrangements.

……

The flagship of the Bluetuk civilization, outside the head of state's office.

General Harrier's silver-white scales were tinged with gray.

A crushing defeat, an unprecedented one. Facing a civilization whose technology was far inferior to their own, they had actually brought back such a horrific defeat.

Twenty thousand warships were destroyed, 50 elite soldiers were killed on the battlefield, and 50 families were broken apart...

In a trance, he recalled the scene when the fleet hurriedly returned to the main base and the angry people cried loudly and insulted him continuously.

Public opinion is now boiling, and I wonder how many people would like to pluck out their own scales one by one, eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood.

This time, I'm afraid I really can't escape death.

Even if the leader understood that he had no choice, what else could he do?
The public outrage is so great that there must be an explanation. And apart from my own life, nothing else can be explained...

But at this moment, in the head of state's office, the top leaders of civilization did not discuss how to deal with Harir.

They were discussing another issue.

"The enemy has now demonstrated combat capabilities beyond our previous estimates. Based on this, is it still possible to continue with the original plan?"

Faced with this problem, the head of state looked at the official in charge of the supply and storage of civilized materials.

"Are our current reserves sufficient to launch the next interstellar voyage? Even if it's just to the nearest star system?"

The official looked a little gloomy.

"Originally, the resources we plundered from the dwarf galaxies, combined with the surplus from before, were barely enough. But now, it's not enough..."

He sighed softly.

War is the biggest consumer of supplies.

"Can't extract enough resources from dwarf planets?"

"The rest is easy, except for deuterium, a crucial fuel, which can only be mined in sufficient quantities from large gaseous planets."

In the case that a large planet is occupied by an opponent, in order to obtain enough deuterium, one must either defeat the opponent or... make the opponent hand it over voluntarily.

After a lengthy discussion, the top management finally reached a consensus.

It is unwise and unnecessary to continue fighting with such a powerful opponent.

It's not that they truly believe they can't defeat the humans, but rather, there's no need.

Since you have demonstrated sufficient strength, we will not hesitate to offer you peace out of our mercy.

"alright."

The leader sighed softly, "If that's the case, then let's negotiate. As long as this human civilization agrees to send us the resources we need, then let them go this time."

An official whispered a warning: "We need to be careful in handling public opinion."

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers had died, countless families had been torn apart, and yet, at this moment, the civilization's leaders were negotiating peace with their adversaries. This was truly unacceptable.

How can I get rid of the anger in my heart if I don’t skin and kill all human beings!

"I will step forward to appease the people and demand that human civilization compensate all our war dead."

The leader said calmly, “During the negotiations, we might as well let humans know our internal public opinion and use it as a bargaining chip.

We must make mankind understand that peace talks are only concessions we make for the sake of peace in order to avoid more innocent casualties.

But our concessions are not made in vain. We must see that humans are showing sufficient sincerity before we grant them peace.”

A message arrived inside the solar system and was received by Li Qingsong.

The arrival of this information was somewhat beyond Li Qingsong's expectations.

Finally you responded to me... I thought you guys couldn't communicate with other civilizations.

“Your Excellency, the Respected Head of Human Civilization:

Like human civilization, we are a peace-loving civilization.

The solar system is not the end of our migration. We come here only to mine some materials for use on the journey.

But unfortunately, we saw some bad things happen.

Your civilization has disregarded its previous promise to provide us with resources and brazenly launched an attack on our resource-gathering fleet, causing heavy casualties on our side. Now, public sentiment within the civilization is outraged, and they demand that we severely punish your treacherous behavior.

But as mentioned earlier, we are a peace-loving civilization and we are willing to use our utmost sincerity to ensure that peace is not destroyed.

Based on this, we demand that you compensate our innocent victims, send high-level officials to the scene to apologize, and severely punish the internal murderers.

In addition, we also need you to provide us with the following materials as a gesture of sincerity to ensure peace.

The directory is as follows:
