The battle on Oasis Star never stopped, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these months, the two sides have engaged in a fierce tug-of-war over themes such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, assault and defense.
The Compound Eyes Slaves also carried out analysis work on the plasma storm, but they also encountered the trouble of communication interruption, and they were always attacked by the new material small combat units of humans, which destroyed the scientific research work of the Compound Eyes Slaves.
At the same time, the Compound Eyes Slaves also quickly mobilized their troops again and again, and launched attacks on the Sky Cave at all costs, but they were all blocked by humans who took advantage of the increasingly complete defenses in the Sky Cave and the geographical advantages of the plasma storm itself and a large number of combat units.
In the history of human space warfare, there has never been such a strange situation.
A large population is gathered near a star, rooted in a relatively small space, and faced with an enemy with combat power several times greater than their own, they not only do not flee, but defend themselves in a dangerous place.
The way the compound-eyed slaves fight is not beyond the expectations of human commanders, and everything is under the control of the strategic guidelines formulated by Zhou Donglai and Andre.
This is not some kind of prophetic calculation, but the technological power of mankind has developed to a sufficient level at this time.
Accurate intelligence work, perfect overall planning, and the mobilization of the Destiny Pact completed in advance have determined that the war situation can only move forward in the direction of mankind's established strategy.
The core factors that determine the success of the strategy are the following directions.
First, through the early technical analysis, the human fleet has determined the characteristics of the plasma storm. Ordinary human ships cannot pass through, and neither can the ships of the Compound Eyes Slaves. This is not an empty talk, but the strategic staff of the Nameless Fleet has comprehensively considered the long-term combat experience of the Compound Eyes and the Slaves, and made a comprehensive judgment that is both statistical and logical.
Second, humans who arrived early and completed scientific research and new material research and development in a timely manner have an absolute advantage in location. The advantage of this location continues to increase as the duration of the battle increases, because humans have created more and more intelligent combat machines and artificial combat units that can freely shuttle through the plasma storm. Human beings are gaining a deeper understanding of the characteristics of plasma magnetic storms at a very fast pace. Where will the abnormal high-energy reactions occur, what are the precursors to the outbreak of high-level storms, the statistical direction of the highly disruptive and destructive chaotic flow... Each of these parameters has become a weapon in the hands of humans.
Third, the long-term escape career has indeed caused tremendous psychological pressure on the human fleet, and even almost collapsed. But after experiencing hardships, humans have created a destiny convention to restrain themselves and unify group consciousness. Now that they finally have a chance to settle down and fight a positional war with the opponent, it is really inspiring. Since the tens of millions of men, women, young and old in the combined fleet represent their predecessors and themselves, they will never miss this opportunity for a head-on battle that they have been waiting for two and a half centuries. The combined fleet ushered in the most powerful, determined, and consistent mobilization of the entire people in the history of human civilization.
Under the impetus of these multiple factors, although there were many dangers near the sky cave, humans finally survived.
However, the compound eyes seemed to have seen through the human plan and were determined to destroy the combined fleet here.
In the spherical area with a radius of more than a thousand light years nearby, a large number of compound eye slave fleets stopped patrolling or decisively gave up their immediate goals and began to gather towards the Oasis Star like a sea embracing hundreds of rivers.
In these four or five months, a new compound eye fleet arrived almost every two or three days on average. The other
side is continuously increasing the stakes, trying to accumulate an absolute numerical advantage with the refueling tactics to overwhelm the combined fleet.
However, this situation is also within the expectations of humans. The solution is not fancy, just a head-on confrontation.
On the one hand, the defense fortifications of Tiandong continue to be strengthened, and the third phase of the project has already started.
On the other hand, some small teams have also begun to rush here. The frequency is not as high as that of the other side, but it can also reach an average of one human team every four or five days. On the way, these small teams have already used the scientific intelligence shared by the combined fleet to complete the ship transformation and equipment upgrade in advance, and at the same time absorbed a lot of battlefield geographical intelligence, so they can fight as soon as they arrive.
Although the compound eye army has more oil than the human joint fleet, the human oil is better. Although the balance of power has always been in favor of the other side, the joint fleet has stabilized its situation in the shaky appearance.
Finally, the increasingly large Oasis Fleet is also constantly tapping its potential and starting to implement some more extreme measures that could not be done before to break out the potential of war.
The first and second phases of the population explosion plan.
Prior to this, the Nameless Fleet had been strictly implementing a population explosion plan for more than 20 years in order to expand the population base as quickly as possible. The typical plan was to develop a complete artificial embryo cultivation plan, implement a plan that combines autonomous selection with genetic optimization matching, and efficiently utilize egg cells to turn every healthy egg cell into an embryo. The previous population expansion index basically followed this law.
Now the Oasis Fleet has taken it to the extreme. Artificial intervention is performed before the first, second, and third divisions of each mature embryo, in order to create multiple identical twins. On average, each newborn embryo can be transformed into at least 5.7 identical twins. This is obviously not in line with the "humanitarianism" in peacetime. Those in the combined fleet who are responsible for implementing this strategy, as well as Andre, will inevitably be criticized by the world in the future, but at this moment, no one cares.
The plan is not aimed at the current combat power, but at the use of the relatively stable environment inside the Oasis Star, as well as the extremely rich energy and resources, to complete the rapid population expansion, in preparation for ten years later.
Second, the Immortality Plan. Improve the combat plan, with top fighters and elite pilots as the core framework, establish a battlefield rescue team, and improve the survival rate of fighters. In the past, because the main policy of the Nameless Fleet was to escape, the battle zone has been shifting. If a fighter is injured but not dead on the battlefield, there is basically no way to rescue him. But now that humans have the geographical advantage of Oasis Star, they can defend it from danger. It is no longer a guerrilla war, but a positional war. Human warriors finally no longer have to abandon their comrades who have lost their mobility, and they can start to rescue people.
This team, called the rescue team, is actually an extremely elite special agent team and plays an extremely important role on the battlefield. They never linger in the battle, but just shuttle back and forth frantically, and according to the signal guidance of the escape capsule, they drag back one comrade who is injured but not dead one after another.
The average number of combats per soldier has increased from 2.7 times in the past to 11.8 times. And as the professional ability of the rescue team continues to improve, the survival skills of the soldiers are rising, and this number continues to rise. The so-called average number of battles per person refers to the number of times a soldier was dispatched and the number of missions he was killed in.
Currently, the highest record holder of the entire Nameless Fleet is Tong Ling, who has participated in more than 9,000 battles, but the average number of battles per person in the entire fleet is only 2.7 times, which shows how heavy the casualties were. The Oasis Combined Fleet increased the number from 2.7 to 11.8, which is equivalent to expanding the limited combat power resources by 4.37 times.
In his speech to the entire army, Andre emphasized that the Immortal Plan has become the main policy of the joint fleet. The joint fleet will continue to improve its equipment and technical and tactical thinking, and will continue to increase the number of battles from 11.8 to 100 or even higher within two years.
Third, using the unique rich mineral resources inside the Oasis Star, combined with the actual situation, further improve the performance of equipment. This includes quickly completing the performance upgrade of the intelligent computer, creating more and better off-machine intelligent computers, and gaining a higher advantage for intelligent war machines in the plasma magnetic storm. At the same time, the old Forge armor was finally completely eliminated, and the latest Xuanyuan armor, which has performance exceeding the strongest modified version of Forge armor, was officially offline.
The Xuanyuan armor is 33 meters tall and has a mechanical structure that can be deformed. Its speed-up performance, firepower index, offline information function, energy stability, overload capacity and other parameters completely overwhelm the Forge armor. With the support of the unique resources of Oasis Star, it can be mass-produced here.
...
From the overall situation, within these few months, the joint fleet has completed more than 30 major adjustments from the system, which has fully released the war potential that humans have always been proud of.
From the details, at the end of 2944, a young man named Zheng suddenly appeared.
Zheng Chenglong, who was only 21 years old, started as an ordinary fighter and his military rank was quickly promoted to a colonel-level fighter in just a few months.
His brilliance was too dazzling.
Cheng Chenglong was a survivor of the original 10881 fleet.
When the old captain and the other 16 warriors died, Cheng Chenglong, who was only six years old, had just started to use armor and was only a D-class fighter. He was injured in an early battle and retreated to the second line, becoming a pilot in the Sprout. At
the age of six, he watched the old captain and other young companions die in order to cover the retreat. He was severely traumatized and could not get over it for many years, so his progress was slow. He has been receiving psychological intervention and has never been on the battlefield again.
When the Oasis Star Wars just started, he was just a mediocre rank-A fighter.
Due to the huge external pressure, the 21-year-old Cheng Chenglong watched his teammates die one after another and finally signed up for the suicide squad again, thinking that he might as well die and put an end to it all. Unexpectedly
, he who wanted to die turned out to be a transformed person, as if the martial arts genius suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians.
Two months after the war started, he reached rank B.
Three and a half months later, he reached rank A.
Six months later, rank S.
In the eighth month, he officially crossed the threshold of rank S fighters with less than a hundred battles and became a top fighter, and his personal ability continued to improve.
He has strong control over his thoughts, the ability to adapt to situations, and the incredible ability to spread emotions.
The soldiers in the special forces team led by him can often unleash more potential under his leadership.
At the same time, as his position continues to rise and his responsibilities become more important, he has gradually demonstrated excellent ability to make decisions on the spot.
He began to realize that he should be responsible for the lives of his comrades, and unknowingly cultivated a keen sense of smell and a small-scale battlefield judgment intuition.
He knows when his team should explode, when to hide, and what actions should be taken to ensure that the large force completes the established major policy.
Tong Ling commented on him, "Zheng Chenglong's fighting style is different from mine, but I think he has the potential I want to wait for."
Cheng Chenglong's fighting style is too similar to that of the ancient sage Chen Feng in historical records, as if they were printed from the same mold.
If it weren't for his appearance being quite different from the ancient sage Chen Feng and his different surname, many people would even mistakenly think that the ancient sage was born prematurely.
Cheng Chenglong is indeed excellent, but he is just a microcosm.
In these few months, there are countless such combat heroes, but he is the most dazzling.
At the end of December 2944, Cheng Chenglong, who had just been promoted to major general as a fighter, unfortunately encountered the biggest test.
He received intelligence that a compound eye ridge ship had quietly lurked close to the plasma magnetic storm and had been suspended in place for a full eight hours.
During these eight hours, more than a hundred scientific research blade mantises went back and forth from the compound eye ridge ship.
This ridge ship is likely to have obtained a lot of analytical data, and the mystery of the plasma magnetic storm has a very high risk of being exposed.
Zheng Chenglong, who was nearby, decisively led 500 warriors to change course and headed straight for the ridge ship, first deploying jammers that could block information transmission, and then launching a super-high intensity impact, trying to tear it apart.
But this ridge ship seems to have really made a breakthrough.
In order to cover its retreat, two fully-organized slave fleets lurking nearby quickly approached.
Zheng Chenglong had to lead 500 people to face a force that normally required at least an entire squadron to contend with.
In the end, Zheng Chenglong successfully destroyed the prism ship before it passed the message.
But his own customized Xuanyuan armor also ran out of energy and could not move, so he could only eject from the lifeboat.
The rescue team in the distance was blocked on the outer layer by two reorganized slave fleets.
Zheng Chenglong was unfortunately captured.
Yes, he was not killed, but captured alive.
This was not an isolated incident, but represented that the Compound Eyes had changed their strategy again.
Before this, whether it was the Unknown Fleet or near the Empire's homeland, the Compound Eyes would only capture human warriors from time to time, and most of the time they chose not to leave them alive.
But after Cheng-Long, at least on the Oasis side, the compound eyes no longer killed the disabled human warriors, but instead captured them alive.
...
Cheng-Long, who was frozen in the escape capsule, glared angrily.
He wanted to struggle, but the capsule was filled with gelatin injected by the opponent and he could not move.
The light on the capsule wall was wandering.
The opponent was cutting the cabin plank.
He gritted his teeth and tried again and again to activate the close-fitting combat suit, but the energy system of the suit was also blocked.
Finally, the hatch was cut open.
He appeared in an empty crystal hall.
He looked around, but there was nothing but a few biological mechanical arms swaying above his head.
"Hello, human."
Cheng Chenglong turned around suddenly, shocked.
Behind him was a woman.
At least she looked like a human.
