Chapter 1312 Resource Limitations

Chapter 1312 - Resource Limitations

They managed to sink a biological space mothership after expending nearly ten elemental annihilation bombs, but the situation did not improve. The full-scale invasion of the "Sagali" civilization had only just begun.

Biological space motherships also appeared in the other three anomalous areas, emerging from the surrounding area surrounded by a large number of biological combat weapons.

These parasitic species had been plotting evil for a long time. The existence of "abnormal areas" is not only a hunting trap that consumes the abilities of Blue Star civilization, but also a key invasion node for decisive weapons such as biological space motherships. The resources that Blue Star civilization has acquired are as insignificant as fishing bait in the eyes of the "Sagarli" civilization.

What spatial rifts and "wormhole clouds" could not do, the four "abnormal areas" easily accomplished. The reason why it was not officially launched until now may be that the relevant arrangements and rules need enough time to be perfected. The "Sagali" successfully diverted the attention of the Blue Star civilization and secretly completed the preparations without anyone noticing. Even Chen Fei and his team failed to detect the subtle changes in time.

Although S-class ability user Herseman Brown's ability "Isolation" can completely seal off "abnormal areas," it is still far from enough for him, a high-level ability user, to face the "Sagali" civilization, which has enough trump cards.

"Biological space motherships have appeared in four locations, except for the space rifts outside the atmosphere, but we cannot let our guard down!"

Chen Fei briefed everyone on the current situation, which was not optimistic.

The unimpeded entry of any biological space mothership into Earth would pose a devastating strategic threat to the entire human civilization. If not handled properly, the end of human civilization could very well begin. Therefore, we must be extremely careful.

The three full-strength airship combat groups deployed in the other three abnormal areas were no longer sufficient to block the "abnormal areas" and intercept the biological space mothership. Chen Fei did not try to fight alone, but directly requested reinforcements from the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee, stating that every hour the reinforcements arrived later, Blue Star's disadvantage would increase.

Neither the biological space mothership, nor the "flying ship black vines" densely packed within it, nor the "bean pod flying ships" that have already formed, will give the Blue Star civilization any chance.

Regardless of distance, every sovereign power surrounding the "abnormal zone" has begun mobilizing its combat forces to converge on the nearest "abnormal zone."

The current situation is approaching the point of a decisive battle. Chen Fei's "one-man army" is far from enough to cope. The sovereigns are no longer hiding in the background and are giving full play to their war potential, throwing themselves into this planetary defense war.

The tactical equipment factory in the "Boundary Pearl" life space is operating at full capacity, especially the semiconductor, robot, and super-star crystal production lines. These are not only important modules of various tactical units, but also related to the continuous improvement of productivity.

The living space now has a population of over one million, which is enough to be considered one of the smallest sovereign states on Earth. However, neither its industrial structure nor its labor force can sustain the combat power currently under Chen Fei's control for long.

The ideal ratio is one soldier for every ten thousand people, but in Chen Fei's case, the reserve of combat robots alone exceeds five million, and they are still being produced at breakneck speed day and night on the assembly line, with no intention of reducing production capacity. Once they are all deployed to the battlefield, the maintenance work alone will be beyond the capacity of this population. Therefore, the labor force still has to rely on these robots driven by the AI ​​"Adam". With a weapon, they become combat robots; with a wrench, they become industrial workers. Fortunately, there is "Adam", otherwise, this would be impossible to manage.

"We now have a question: what exactly is the focus of the 'Sagallian' civilization?"

One of Chen Fei's staff representatives raised a new question, which was also a strategic decision.

The "Sagarli" civilization is waging a two-pronged attack. On one hand, it launches an offensive primarily using biological space motherships, based on four "abnormal regions" within the atmosphere and spatial rifts outside the atmosphere. Although the number of invading nodes is small, they are exceptionally difficult to penetrate. On the other hand, it deploys a large number of "wormhole clouds" to launch a massive biological combat weaponry that completely covers the entire celestial sphere.

Regardless of which front they are on, they all seem to be the main attack points. It cannot be ruled out that the "Sagali" civilization does not make a single choice, but rather has a "want it all" strategic plan.

If the opposing planets were Blue Star and Azure Star, it would mean that the two civilized planets would need to develop strategic plans: whether to fight independently and watch over each other, or to form an alliance to jointly fight against the "Sagarli" civilization.

This raises another point: the way the two civilizations interacted in the past. They could use the convenience of "gateways." 108 Longinus could establish 54 pairs of "gateways," which was sufficient for large-scale interplanetary and global troop deployments. However, now that some Longinus have fallen into the hands of the "Zagali" civilization, the "gateways" are no longer safe and may even become nodes for the other side to invade.

"I...can't tell!"

Chen Fei thought for a long time and then shook his head.

He doesn't stand at that level, so he doesn't have much reference information to support effective analysis at the strategic level.

Louis Langdon said, "Then we should have multiple contingency plans and prepare in advance."

He has painstakingly built and prepared for this situation over the past decades. When it's time to go all in, he will not hesitate to use all his hard work over the years, even if it means sacrificing the entire Louis Industries.

Even if you spend all your money, it will come back again. Langdon is not the kind of person who only cares about money and is only interested in profit.

"No matter how many contingency plans we make, our resources are still insufficient to support operations on two fronts."

The staff team representatives exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.

The bigwigs had already given their thoughts a long time ago. It's easy to talk about things on paper, but with a few words and a pen, a plan can be produced. They can write as many words as they want, and even go down to the details of each day and each hour without any problem, and they can guarantee that it will be feasible.

However, once these plans are combined with reality, they immediately become nothing more than empty dreams, impossible to implement.

With Chen Fei's abilities, he could handle localized battlefields like those in Star System 1 and Star System 2. At worst, he could destroy everything and leave a mess behind, but he could still run away. Given enough time and resources, he could eventually make a comeback. However, the current battlefield is on Earth, with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to escape. This desperate situation cannot be resolved by a few contingency plans.

Their current predicament is like being unable to sit in the imperial palace, yet being on the road to the underworld. They are just commoners, but they have to worry about the emperor's affairs. They feel nothing but frustration.

Of course, you can take care of yourself, but if even the Earth civilization is gone, what's the point of taking care of yourself?

With a mere million-plus people, it would take at least three to five thousand years to restore the current population of Earth.

Let alone that long, even a hundred years from now, everything will have changed. Whether people will remember the great enemy, the "Zagali" civilization, is one thing, but whether they will still have the ability to fight back is another matter entirely.

Of course, there is also the "Tree of Life" which can help expand the population significantly, but unnatural reproduction will encounter many problems, especially the care and education of infants. Human offspring are not easy to manage and often take up a large proportion of economic expenses.

“Relaunch the ‘Ark Project,’ establish a refuge center on Socotra Island, and open the ‘Stargate’ to receive the population.”

Chen Fei had no choice but to restart his worst-case scenario plan: abandoning Earth and disappearing into the vast void.

Fortunately, the "Boundary Pearl" life space was able to support a large population. If we relied solely on the existing airships, we wouldn't be able to take many people away, and living conditions would become extremely harsh, making it unsustainable.

Raising a child is really expensive. Monthly food expenses alone are over 5,000 RMB, not including medical expenses. We've been to the nutrition and digestive departments at the hospital many times. The child's weight and height are below standard, and they have ADHD and multiple food intolerances. Feeding this child is incredibly difficult. Each meal consists of half a pound of rice, 200 grams of cooked beef (various meats), and 300 grams of vegetables—a total of 1.5 pounds per meal. Even so, their weight is still below standard. And cooking takes three to five hours every day. This doesn't even include training classes and travel expenses. At the beginning of the month, a three-day trip to Beijing cost over 10,000 RMB for the three of us. My husband says a regular job with a salary of 3,000 to 5,000 RMB is enough. Ha! What's that enough for? Where did the remaining royalties go? They all went into the stock market. So, we haven't saved any money in recent years.
