Unlike the people of the United Solar System's United Civilizations who are encouraged, the inside story of the Ferma Fleet can now be said to be facing internal and external troubles.

Not only because one-fifth of the tribe had just been lost, but also because Ferma had just become a dictator, which also cast a shadow on the hearts of most Kasaku people.

If it weren't for the fact that the war was about to break out, I'm afraid the rebels would have risen one after another by now.

Fermat was obviously very aware of this situation, so while purging tribesmen who had different opinions, he began to release reconnaissance ships to prevent enemies from suddenly appearing.

Under such circumstances, it was supposed to arrive at the first line of defense of the Blue Star humans within a month, but it was delayed for six months.

In the past six months, the combined fleet of the United Solar System Civilizations has been fully equipped.

What surprised both Cao Guolin and Proxima Speaker was that they discovered some unusual figures in the human fleet of starships.

Those mini torpedo-like things exude an icy aura, drawing people's attention involuntarily.

It’s just that there aren’t many of these olive-shaped ‘torpedoes’ that are less than five meters long. There is only one like this at the tail of hundreds of Qinhuang-class battleships.

Those who have been paying attention to the live broadcast have actively ignored this thing. From their perspective, this little guy does not pose any threat.

But Cao Guolin and Speaker Proxima are different. They still have some understanding of Luo Xiu's character. With his character, he will not put useless things on such a critical position.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, is this a new weapon?" Cao Guolin asked first.

In his opinion, although this thing cannot be a torpedo, it is probably a super weapon similar to an anti-matter weapon. It is just because of technology that relatively few are produced.

"I think this is more likely to be a spaceship, because there is a very strong energy response on the detector on our ship. Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief has developed an antimatter propeller?"

As Speaker Proxima Centauri spoke, he actually let out an exclamation.

Because of Proxima Centauri's research on microscopic particle carving technology, its detection technology is slightly better than Blue Star Technology.

"Anti-matter thruster? No way? If that thing is a thruster, how can it be suspended there alone? I think it should be a super weapon like an anti-matter weapon, right?"

Cao Guolin obviously also has his own opinions.

Luo Xiu looked at the two people arguing endlessly, with a meaningful smile on his face.

But now it is war time, and he no longer needs to hide it: "That is our newly developed ship, also known as the Ghost. It is made of strong interaction materials, so it is a little smaller, but its power is not ordinary.

warships can be compared.”

"New battleship?"

"Made of strong interaction materials?"

Both Cao Guolin and Speaker Proxima made sounds of surprise, but it was obvious that their focus was different.

Cao Guolin didn't expect that Luo Xiu would secretly develop a new ship without even telling him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

But what Proxima Chancellor noticed was that Luo Xiu's starship was famous for not only mastering the strong interaction technology, but also using this technology to produce materials and even make warships.

Although he is not a scientific researcher, he also knows the power of this strong interaction material.

At least with current technology, most weapons have no effect on it.

In the face of strong mutual materials, ordinary kinetic or energy attacks are difficult to work. Even anti-matter weapons require concentrated attacks for a long time to be effective.

However, precisely because of this, the production of strong interaction materials is also very difficult. At least Proxima Centauri has mastered this technology for a long time, but it has never produced this material.

Unexpectedly, the famous starships that borrowed this technology from them would go further than them. This made the Speaker of Proxima Centauri understand the terrifying research and development capabilities of the starship civilization.

Just when the two of them looked at each other, the voice of the control system came over.

"The surveillance equipment near the first line of defense has captured the image of Ferma's fleet." While Luo Xiu was talking, a picture suddenly appeared on the star map in front of Luo Xiu.

Black warships that are larger than the Qinhuang-class warships are moving slowly, and the edges cannot be seen. They have no idea how many there are. This is the first time that Cao Guolin and Proxima Speaker have seen the main force of the cruising fleet.

Battleship.

Even through the screen, they felt it was a little difficult to breathe.

The Qinhuang class battleship is already a behemoth, and the battleships in the game fleet are actually about one-third larger.

No wonder Xue He's previous report mentioned that the battle loss ratio between the cruising fleet warships and the Qinhuang class warships under the same conditions was as high as one to three.

At that time, they felt that Xue He was exaggerating, but now they feel that what he said was a bit conservative.

However, unlike the surprised expressions on their faces, Luo Xiu was much calmer. After all, he was already very familiar with the warships in the cruising fleet.

But the cruising fleets in front of us are a little different. They have a series of new armors on the outside, just like patches.

Luo Xiu was not sure whether this was caused by the technology of the Cygnus Technology Library or the previous 'accident'. Maybe it was both.

"It seems that the other party has mastered the technology of detecting antimatter space mines, so should we continue to deploy them?"

Cao Guolin finally came to his senses and asked a question.

Luo Xiu nodded and said: "Of course we have to arrange it. Didn't you see that the opponent's speed is so slow? This is because we are afraid of anti-matter space mines. If we don't arrange it, their speed will be far faster than our warships. Then

It will be difficult for us to fight this battle."

Yes, although the anti-matter space mine has lost its initial deterrent effect, it was already a brilliant achievement to be able to severely damage more than a thousand warships of the opponent and kill countless Kasaku people from the very beginning.

The result of the battle.

But its effect has not completely disappeared, and it still has the effect of making the opponent throw a rat weapon.

"At their current speed, I'm afraid it will take another month to reach the second line of defense. Should we continue to wait?" Proxima Centauri Speaker asked.

"Don't worry, they are the ones who are anxious. I guess they have been sailing for such a long time and the fleet's supplies are running low. Waiting for work and wearing down the opponent's patience is the key factor outside of this war." Luo Xiu explained.

.

The Speaker of Proxima Centauri looked confused. After all, with the absolute rationality of Proxima Centauri people, it is impossible to calculate the impact of emotions on war.

Although Cao Guolin has also undergone mechanical transformation, his experience and memory as a Blue Star person are still there. This is something that will not disappear for a long time.

So he nodded to Luo Xiu's plan, which was regarded as approval.

The main battleships of the United Solar System Civilization have reached 300,000, plus the reserve fleet of 300,000 ships (Zhou Wen class and Xia Qi class), so it seems to be very powerful. Several planets directly on the second line of defense

A band of light formed between them.

The Proxima Centauri people can even find this light belt with a not-too-high-precision astronomical telescope, but they are obviously not as enthusiastic about this kind of thing as the Blue Star people.

But the Blue Star people lamented that they were too far away from the battlefield and could only guess a thing or two through live broadcast.

Currently, 2% of Blue Star people on Blue Star have joined the army or reserve forces.

Don't look at these two percent. Blue Star's population has reached more than 10 billion. This two percent already has hundreds of millions of people.

However, only some of them boarded various battleships and went to Proxima b to participate in the war.

In addition to training, others are doing various support and other things.

…

It took the Ferma fleet another month and a half to get from the first line of defense deployed by the Blue Star humans to the second line of defense of the starship civilization.

The reason why it took half a month longer was because they studied the instruments on the first line of defense.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that the technological level of civilization in the solar system is indeed at the level of primitive civilization.

The reason why they have mastered anti-matter weapons and space jump technology is probably because they obtained some technologies from the wreckage of warships of advanced civilizations. This made the senior officials of Ferma and Kasaku breath a sigh of relief.

The boulder that weighed heavily on people's hearts finally relaxed a little.

But when they came to the second line of defense, everyone held their breaths as they looked at the huge fleet that was unclear in number but arranged in a very orderly manner.

Austin stared at the endless battleships on the screen, and said with some horror: "This, this is impossible, how can they have such a huge fleet, please give me statistics on the control system."

"After calculation and estimating the fleet covering the rear, the number of ships on the other side is between 1.3 million and 1.6 million." The voice of the control system sounded.

Hearing this, Ferma was also stunned. Their warships were only tens of thousands, but the opponent's were already in the millions. And more importantly, the current warships seemed to be different from the Zhouwen-class warships they had encountered before.

Very different.

Regardless of the size of the battleship or the strength of the battleship, it seems that great progress has been made.

And what is the concept of 1.3 million battleships?

Their fleet originally had tens of thousands of warships, which was already the absolute main force of the Kasakuk civilization fleet.

"Order the entire fleet to stop." Fermat issued the order.

"Yes, Commander."

Qiong on the side quickly sent Ferma's order.

"Sir Commander, although the number of ships in the opponent's fleet exceeds our imagination, the quality of the opponent's ships seems to be not as good as ours..."

Before Qiong finished speaking, a picture appeared in front of them.

It was a black object like an olive, only about five meters long, but it exuded a chilling aura.

"Is this an anti-matter weapon? This energy fluctuation may be enough to destroy our battleship." Austin said excitedly.

"Calm down, this is not a bomb, otherwise it would not be placed outside the ship, let alone suspended in the deep space of the universe."

Fermat was a little dissatisfied with Austin's gaffe.

"Is this the same type of weapon as those space bombs?" Qiong guessed.

"Huh? That's interesting. Keep talking." Fermat nodded and encouraged.
