Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1088
Not only Yu Linglong, but also the Human Federation and those civilizations that follow the Human Federation are pinning their hopes on Yang Yi.However, Yu Linglong clearly realized from the very beginning that it was almost impossible to wait for Yang Yi to return.Even if Yang Yi set off from the Northern Alpha Galaxy after receiving the news, and always maintained the fastest speed, that is, the speed of light, it would take 1 years to return to the Southern Alpha Galaxy.Even if it is a little more ideal, such as making a space jump with the largest span first, after traveling thousands of light years, that is, to a place about 4000 light years away from the northernmost star system of the Southern Alpha galaxy, and then making another space jump, Yang It will also take 4000 years for Yi to complete the middle journey, that is, he will be able to return to the Southern Alpha galaxy after [-] years.

Apparently, no human being will live 5000 years.

Although in theory, the survival time of human beings can be extended indefinitely through hibernation, in practice, this is absolutely impossible.Quite simply, hibernation is to prolong the survival time of human beings by reducing the speed of metabolism, not to completely stop metabolism.As long as the metabolism is still going on, human beings will age.Typically, hibernation reduces the rate of metabolism to one-tenth of normal, thus prolonging the survival time of hibernating subjects tenfold.Although continuing to reduce the speed of metabolism can further prolong the survival time of the hibernating object, it will cause unpredictable results, such as causing damage to the brain of the hibernating object, and it will also greatly increase the difficulty of ending hibernation, and even cause the hibernating object to be unable to Wake up in time before the body temperature returns to normal.Therefore, only in special circumstances will the metabolic rate during hibernation be reduced to a lower level, which is commonly referred to as "deep hibernation".

Apparently hibernating doesn't solve the problem either.

If deep hibernation is carried out, Yu Linglong's survival time can be extended to at least 4000 years, or even 6000 years, and it is possible to live until the day when Yang Yi returns.However, in the state of deep hibernation, every time she wakes up, there is a huge risk. No one can guarantee that Yu Linglong can wake up from a deep sleep every time.That is to say, Yu Linglong who entered deep hibernation is no different from death, she just wakes up after thousands of years.During this period, her existence has no value at all, not only cannot help the Human Federation, but will also become a drag.If it's just ordinary hibernation, the meaning is not very obvious. After all, a Yu Linglong who needs to often enter a deep sleep state cannot always grasp the overall situation.

It is also true that Yu Linglong did not choose to prolong her own survival time by hibernating, but spent her whole life to build a powerful army for the Human Federation, built a complete military and political system, and supported several hard-core allies , Laying a solid foundation for the Human Federation to fight against powerful enemies for a long time.It can be said that Yu Linglong created a brand-new human federation in just over 200 years by herself.If it weren't for what she did, then as early as 600 years ago, that is, on the day when it developed with the four second-rate top civilizations, the Human Federation would have been completely destroyed.However, even Yu Linglong cannot guarantee that the human federation can persist for thousands of years.

The point is, the enemy is too powerful.

After the three first-rate top civilizations were destroyed one after another, the four second-rate top civilizations became the most powerful existence.Not only did they control the central region with the richest resources, which originally belonged to the three top civilizations, but they also made most of the civilizations compromise and became their accomplices.To put it simply, the enemy of the Human Federation is not only the four second-rate top civilizations, but the entire Galactic Federation, and the Human Federation can only rely on itself.

In fact, not only Yu Linglong, when the war broke out, no one believed that the Human Federation would survive, and many even believed that the Human Federation would be defeated within ten years.As a result, civil strife broke out in the Human Federation before the flames of war reached the home galaxy.

At that time, a small number of high-level federal authorities believed that they should compromise with the four second-rate top civilizations, even if they had to give up the crucial outer star systems, they had to hand over the Leiling, Weaving Star, and Hidden Spirit clans under their protection. It is better to be a survivor than to suffer from the flames of war.In the words of these people, the Human Federation has no reason to fight against four second-rate top civilizations for the remnants of three first-rate top civilizations.To this end, these people took advantage of the chaotic situation at the beginning of the war to stage a coup and try to establish a new federal government.It's a pity that they were not able to convince the military, nor were they able to control the garrison of the home galaxy, and they were arrested by the federal authorities before they could take any action.

In fact, this is just a farce.

Before her death, Yu Linglong had anticipated internal turmoil and had prepared for it.According to her arrangement, the person who took power after her was a group of elders composed of nine people who had participated in the Sixth Greenwich War, had direct contact with Yang Yi, and firmly believed that Yang Yi would return one day. Three were from the Yu family, and the other six were from the expeditionary force formed by Yang Yi, that is, those who stayed in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, did not follow Yang Yi to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and then withdrew to the Southern Alpha Galaxy.The nine veterans hibernated in groups of three in turn to ensure that at least three of them would survive until the day Yang Yi came back.Among the three elders in power, the elder from the Yu Family is in charge of all internal affairs of the Human Federation, and among the two elders from the Legion, one serves as the commander-in-chief of the Federation, and the other is fully responsible for the relationship with other civilizations.Usually, only three elders are needed to preside over the overall situation, so the other six elders are in hibernation.Only in special circumstances would it be necessary to revive the other six elders, so as to ensure that at least three elders could survive for thousands of years.

Although this system is not perfect, it is stable enough to exist for thousands of years.

The key is that these veterans have had direct contact with Yang Yi, know Yang Yi's strength, and firmly believe that Yang Yi will save human civilization.Although none of the elders can rival Yu Linglong in strength and influence, as long as three elders work together, they can command the Human Federation.

In fact, this is also the key to the Human Federation being able to withstand the enemy's first round of onslaught and not be destroyed quickly after the war started.

After the coup threat was resolved, the Human Federation, under the command of the nine elders, quickly completed the war mobilization.In fact, before this, the Human Federation has always been in a state of quasi-war.That is to say, all the regular legions are at full strength, and the reserve legion has begun to train recruits; all military factories are producing weapons and equipment at full speed, and local governments in various star systems have also begun to hoard war materials; the liaison work with other civilizations has already begun The personnel of the intelligence agency went deep into the enemy's rear and began to instigate those civilizations that were not firm enough; the fleet that was originally distributed on the periphery has been withdrawn and reorganized according to the wartime mechanism.

It can be said that the Human Federation is one step ahead in war mobilization.

It was also this step ahead that allowed the Human Federation to withstand the coming storm.

As for who fired the first shot, it doesn't really matter, because before that, four second-rate top civilizations had already declared war on the Human Federation.Although the Human Federation has not yet declared war on the four second-rate top civilizations, it has entered a state of war, that is, the war with the four second-rate top civilizations has broken out.

In the first stage of the war, the four second-rate top civilizations made a serious mistake, or Yu Linglong's deployment before the war had an effect.That is, the four second-rate top civilizations did not regard the Human Federation as an opponent, and believed that they could quickly destroy the Human Federation.As a result, not only were the four second-rate top civilizations not fully prepared, they even did not dispatch enough troops.

At that time, the four second-rate top civilizations might not even have a complete war plan.

The first to attack is the Bingyu clan, that is, the fleet of the Bingyu clan seizes and controls the route to the home galaxy to ensure that the offensive line is unimpeded.Immediately afterwards, the elite army of the Kunyang tribe was responsible for removing the military strongholds on the route and eradicating the obstacles leading to the home galaxy.The wild beasts also joined the battle at the same time, mobilizing an astonishing number of legions to sweep the nearby star systems to ensure the safety of the rear.As for the Jijing tribe, they did not send troops to join the battle immediately, but only sent a fleet and a transport fleet to provide logistical support for the other three second-rate top civilizations.In addition, the Extreme Realm Clan also undertakes the heavy responsibility of supplying supplies, after all, the Extreme Realm Clan has the most resources.

If it was an ordinary high-level civilization that was attacked, there would be no suspense about the outcome.

It's just that the Human Federation is not an ordinary advanced civilization.The Human Federation at that time was already one of the most powerful civilizations in the Southern Alpha galaxy.If the overall strength is used as the criterion, the Human Federation even surpasses the Kunyang, Bingyu and Wild Beast tribes, and is second only to the Jijing tribe.Besides, if the Human Federation is so vulnerable, then there is no need to wait for Yu Linglong to die, and the four second-rate top civilizations will start a war.

As a result, the Bingyu clan who took the lead first tasted the bitter fruit.

Regarding the fleet decisive battle, there are not many relevant records of the Human Federation, nor are they detailed. It only mentions that the fleet of the Bingyu clan rushed forward lightly, and went deep into the north when the Kunyang clan and the beast clan's legions did not keep up. Thousands of light-years across the region, encountered a human fleet that had already ambushed.In the case of a sudden attack, the fleet of the Bingyu clan was quickly defeated, more than half of the warships were destroyed, and many warships were captured.To put it simply, the Human Federation took advantage of the enemy's carelessness, deliberately removed the outer defenses, did not make too tenacious resistance, and lured the Bingyu clan fleet to go deep into the northern region, and then ambushed the Bingyu clan fleet on the selected battlefield.

In this fleet decisive battle, not only the fleet of the Bingyu clan was destroyed, but also the hope of the four second-rate top civilizations to quickly attack the Human Federation.The key point is that without the support of the fleet, it would be difficult for the legions of the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan to play a role, and it would be impossible to challenge the Human Federation alone.Unless the Jijing clan sent troops in time and sent a fleet to join the battle, the Kunyang clan and the wild beast clan's legions would have to voluntarily abandon the captured star system.

Obviously, no matter how powerful the Bingyu clan is, they will not be able to rebuild a powerful fleet in a short period of time. It will take a lot of time, and the war will therefore be delayed.

But, that didn't happen.
