Chapter 937 The Lonely Fleet

"A country without enemies will come to an end sooner or later!" In private, Liu Nianfeng once confided his heart to Alice, "The reason why the empire can be stable for a long time is because the empire has always had the enemy of stars and beasts. It is possible to be destroyed in the hands of this enemy, so the empire will last for a long time, and it will not collapse for thousands of years!"

"But once the empire loses the enemy of the star beast, then the empire may reach its peak for a while, but after the peak, it will inevitably decline. It is the civil war of the empire, and it is the collapse of my blood. My blood is likely to be here. Perished in this civil war again and again!"

"So I have to create an enemy for the empire, and this enemy is my Jiangzhou star area. In the future, when the stars and beasts perish, let the Jiangzhou star area, let the new country be the enemy of the empire, so that the empire Both Jiangzhou and Jiangzhou have their own opponents, so this may be the best result for them!"

"In this way, wouldn't there be dead bodies everywhere between the two countries, and countless lives would be lost? Wouldn't this be too cruel?" Alice looked at Liu Nian Feng with some fear and said.

"You are indeed right, but don't forget one thing. Human nature is here. They will never be able to achieve peace. Even if there is no empire and Jiangzhou, human beings will always strive for it. In the future, the empire will split , will become hundreds of thousands of vassal states, and then these hundreds of thousands of countries will continue to have civil wars, and the death toll will be hundreds of times that of the two countries fighting, this is a truly cruel thing!" Liu Nianfeng With a long sigh.

"Then our Jiangzhou star area is so small, once the strength of the empire is completely restored, the Jiangzhou star area cannot be the opponent of the empire!" Alice said with some concern.

"Don't worry, the volume of one star area in the Jiangzhou star area is equivalent to the size of the four star areas of the empire. In addition, there will be new star areas outside the Jiangzhou star area. According to the star map of the Shangri-La civilization, in Jiangzhou Outside the star area, there are hundreds of star areas similar to the Jiangzhou star area."

"And this is just a galaxy in the Milky Way. There are tens of billions of galaxies like the Milky Way outside the Milky Way. The universe is endless. What we humans occupy is nothing more than a territory the size of a grain of soil. Empires and The Jiangzhou star area will continue to expand in the future, and it will continue to expand as it fights!"

"As long as these two forces continue to fight, then neither of these two forces will perish, and the rulers of these two forces will be my blood, and my blood of Liu Nianfeng is the ruler of the entire universe. What a wonderful thing!" Having said that, Alice suddenly felt a burst of crazy ambition from Liu Nianfeng, and she was shocked to find that after so many years, Liu Nianfeng is no longer the simple and unaffected little boy. Now, he has grown into an ambitious king.

"Admiral, according to the report from the forward scouting fleet, Kyle's stargate has been completely destroyed, and this stargate is also unusable!" In the cockpit of a battleship, a staff member looked heavily at a man with hair. The gray woman reports.

"Really!" The woman's body trembled slightly, and then asked in a trembling voice, "How much fuel do we have left?"

"Not much, except for those damaged in battle, all the resources of the external transport ships have been exhausted, and our fuel can only last for 35 days at most at superluminal speed!" Another staff member said bitterly.

"Then send an order to abandon all heavy warships except the Rodney and the Izumo, and transfer all the resources in these warships to other warships. Now the Stargate of Kyle Star is finished, We have to make a detour to the Mingmei Interstellar Gate, which is the closest to here, which will take 78 days of superluminal voyage, and we must at least meet the needs of these 78 days!" The admiral said with a sigh.

"But Admiral, if we give up all our heavy warships, then if we encounter an attack from a star beast, we will have no way to deal with it at all!" The flagship starship girl retorted on the spot.

"Could it be that we can deal with the star beasts now?" The admiral gritted his teeth and said, "We have already lost 3/4 of our warships when we came out, and now we only have more than 40 warships left. You can't even beat two monster-level star beasts, so what's the point of fighting!"

"So if we really encounter an attack from a star beast next time, then please remember that we have only one way to escape. The farther the better, the faster the better. All heavy warships must It's a burden, even my Rhodes and Izumo can be given up at critical times, survival is the last word!" After the admiral finished speaking, the entire cockpit fell into silence.

After a few minutes, the entire fleet began to obey the admiral's order, and those heavy battleships that were destined to be abandoned began to transport all the resources and fuel left in the battleships to each battleship, or store them in the warehouse of the transport ship.

This is a relatively cumbersome set of tasks. In addition to fuel, various ammunition and living supplies also need to be transported, so the entire fleet can only temporarily stop in this starry sky and wait for about ten hours to complete the entire task. transport process.

And even so, the admiral has been urging everyone in the cockpit to move faster. During the journey of these years, she has fully comprehended a truth, that is, nights are long and dreams are many.

Everything is as fast as possible. Once you stay in a certain place for too long, you may encounter unexpected risks.

But as the saying goes, come whatever you are afraid of. When the fleet finished transporting about half of the resources, the destroyer fleet, which was in charge of guarding the periphery, immediately reported to the admiral in panic, and found a group of 12 monster-level star beasts. The team appeared within the warning range, and had already discovered the vigilant destroyer fleet, which was frantically approaching the large fleet.

"Bang!" The wine glass in the admiral's hand fell heavily to the ground, shattering into debris.

"Suck!" The admiral took a deep breath, then turned his head, and said lightly to the terrified communications soldier, "Send the order, and all the staff on the heavy warship will board the transport boat immediately, and they must be on the transport boat within 3 hours." Arrive at the docking warship within minutes, and at the same time immediately abandon all the supplies and heavy warships in transit, even the Izumo and the Rodney. Head towards Mingmei Star Gate!"

"What! Give up? Even the Rodney..."

"My order, do you still want to question it?" The admiral suddenly pressed a button on the seat, and then the whole person disappeared into the cockpit along with the seat in an instant.

"Everyone, let's go! This is the only way!" The starship girl on the bridge also sighed helplessly, and also pressed a button, and disappeared on the bridge in an instant, and she was Rodney The starship girl of the USS Rodney is also the flagship of the entire fleet.

In the next second, all the staff sitting on the chairs entered the escape boat through the emergency escape button, and the rest of the entire battleship also found emergency escape channels to enter the escape boat.

In less than a minute, hundreds of emergency escape boats or traffic boats flew out of the various escape exits of the Rodney and headed for the nearest destroyer, and this scene also happened in other ships. on top of heavy battleships.

It can be seen that this is a fleet that has gone through many battles, so the whole process went smoothly. Although the admiral only gave 3 minutes, in fact, it took less than 2 minutes, and all the personnel completed the transfer work .

When the star beasts arrived at this battlefield, they could only see seven or eight abandoned heavy warships, and then angrily tore these heavy warships into pieces.

----------

"Admiral, we are finally almost there, and the star gate of Mingmei is ahead!" After 81 days, on the periphery of a closed star gate, a fleet composed of three battleships broke away from the superluminal state and appeared in the here.

"We finally survived!" Compared with 81 days ago, the admiral's hair became more gray, and the situation of the entire fleet became more tragic.

When fleeing before, there were still more than 30 warships left in the entire fleet, but now there are only three.

But don’t get me wrong, it’s not that they were attacked by star beasts again, but when they transferred the fuel before, only about 1/3 of the fuel was transferred, and more than 30 warships arrived at Mingmei Star Gate, so in the end The admiral had no choice but to sever his wrist again, abandon more than 20 warships, and concentrate all the remaining fuel and personnel on the three fastest destroyers, barely ensuring that the fleet reached the star gate of Mingmei.

However, a fleet has almost reached its limit. In addition to the fuel shortage again, what is more important is the lack of living supplies and living space.

At the time of departure, there were more than 200 warships in the entire fleet, and a total of nearly 600 million staff members. This is an extremely large number.

And now, there are only three warships left in the fleet, but because of the wise command of the admiral, nearly 600 million of the 400 million staff members have survived, and now these 400 million people are all crowded on these three destroyers. Not only the normal living quarters were already full of people, but now even the aisles were full of people sleeping. These three warships became as crowded as sardine cans.

What's worse is the consumption of living materials. Now each person can only be allocated one nutrient solution as food per day, but this is only barely enough to keep him alive.

But even so, the fleet can only last for less than a month. If there is no more supplies, the entire fleet will only have one way to collapse.

"Let's see if Mingmei Star is still there. The data shows that Meixing is an agricultural planet. There should be a lot of living supplies on it. Even if the entire planet is abandoned, we can take advantage of this planet to take a good rest!" After the FTL state was released, the admiral said with great anticipation that Minmei Star was their last straw.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, a desperate voice shouted
"No more... Mingmei star is gone... Where Mingmei star was, there is only a meteorite belt left...Mingmei star has been destroyed by the star beast!" The observer said desperately, and this sentence Those words also pushed the entire fleet into despair.
