Chapter 121 What is Total War?
"Commander Liu, the energy level of your energy conversion device is quite surprising. Almost all of the energy of a star is absorbed by it. The energy absorption and conversion efficiency is much stronger than the eighth-level technology I know!" Li Kui said with surprise.

Liu Wen laughed and said, "It's just that the force is so strong that bricks can fly. After all, the size is there, and the theory of the star ball is also used. It just changes the absorption of the entity into the guidance of the force field. It can't be considered high-tech."

Li Kui didn't know whether to believe it or not. He just nodded casually and changed the topic to the development of the star field battlefield.

"The battle between the human lords and dimensional creatures in the pioneering star fields is becoming increasingly intense. Even with the military support of some combat units, the star fields are still losing ground. Currently, the nearest battle line has been advanced to less than a thousand light years away from the human defense line. We are now like a protruding reef, attracting attention. This is not a good thing."

Zhang Boping also said: "We are in a very dangerous situation now. We are at the edge of the open star field. We have no reinforcements behind us and no fighting power in front of us. Once a full-scale war breaks out, we will face a fatal blow. No force will allow a fleet outside of its control to watch us, even if this amount of troops is insignificant to them."

"Commander Liu, can you speed up the cultivation of your biological battleships and increase production?" Xu Zemin asked.

Liu Wen spread his hands with regret: "It's impossible. The embryo culture medium required is complicated to manufacture and the production volume cannot keep up."

The three of them sighed when they heard that they could not expand further. The combat power of biological warships was indeed much worse than that of technological warships of the same level, and they were not flexible enough in command. However, they were very powerful in acting as cannon fodder to cover the operations of the technological fleet and attract enemy firepower. Moreover, the biological warships that died in battle would be absorbed by the intact warships, avoiding the situation of biological debris all over the sky, which was very beneficial for the next battle.

If it can be put into service on a large scale, and each legion can carry two or three times the biological fleet, then the legion's combat effectiveness can even be doubled, and the casualty rate will drop sharply.

"The replenishment of biological warships cannot keep up with the consumption. In the next battle, we must be prepared for the fleet to become smaller and smaller, or even be completely wiped out." Liu Wen reminded.

"In the last total war, the number of alien fleets reached 13,000 legions of rule-level warships, and the conventional fleet totaled more than 10 million legions. The conceptual battlefield authority is insufficient to know the specific situation, but the result was that the Human Alliance suffered more than 3 million conventional legions and more than 2,000 legions of rule-level warships. Hundreds of star systems in the open star field were reduced to only a dozen star systems now. The subspace where the battlefield was located was almost completely gone, and the alien forces were completely gone."

Li Kui shared the information he knew with everyone. Several people present now have the authority to obtain relevant information, but they need to apply to the Intelligence Department of the People's Liberation Army, and the other party will not remind them proactively. In other words, you have to figure out this authority yourself before you have the opportunity to use it, otherwise you will only have military intelligence sharing authority.

"The alien forces in these galaxies now are basically the free subspaces that the Interstellar Alliance actively attracted after the war, and then they integrated into the universe and settled down. The current situation is likely to be the prelude to the start of a full-scale war. To be honest, our limited military force can only serve as a fireworks display for the joint defense line. We can't stop it."

Liu Wen rubbed his face. This information was too creepy and made his heart beat wildly. How long had it been since the last all-out war? Had the military forces of various civilizations recovered before another war broke out?
When it comes to rule-class battleships, the materials and crew needed cannot be obtained by simply digging some mines and entering the low-light field for reorganization. For a degenerate material, the mass of matter is really very different from the ionic degenerate state to the quark degenerate state.

Take neutron stars for example. A star with a diameter of millions of kilometers finally collapses into a neutron star with a diameter of only a few hundred kilometers. This is the existing neutron degenerate material. How many warships with a diameter of tens of kilometers can be built with this neutron degenerate material with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers? The number of warships of a legion in various civilizations is more than 10,000. Fifteen thousand warships in a legion of humans is not the largest number. How can the universe have so much material to build warships for them at this scale?
A regular-class battleship with a legion size of tens of thousands can only be built by investing tens of millions of stars in a star system.

Every two to three hundred years, or four to five hundred years, a full-scale war would break out between the surrounding civilizations. The legions would suffer thousands of casualties, and these wreckages would naturally be recycled and reused by the victors. The losers would have to collect materials everywhere to rebuild their warships, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also had the effect of one gaining while the other loses.

According to the technology tree that Liu Wen himself received, for a civilization that has reached the rule level, the most important thing is the amount of material that the civilization controls to determine its war potential and civilization development potential.

This is easy to understand. Although the mass of the universe is constantly being swallowed and grown through the cosmic membrane due to the tinkering of the Interstellar Alliance, its mass growth rate cannot keep up with the speed of civilization expansion. Every rule-level civilization needs to expand its own civilization territory to obtain more mass for its own development, and the contradiction is thus buried.

Once there are conflicts, wars will inevitably break out to replan each other's territories and the ownership of regional materials. At this time, among the same level, whoever has more materials, can build more warships, and has more materials to invest in scientific research, then the greater the hope of victory, thus creating a snowball effect, constantly growing and developing while swallowing up and absorbing the surrounding small snowballs.

Snowballing is a good thing, but no one can guarantee that they will always win. Therefore, although the intensity of the war is high, it will not be too frequent. After all, the loss of material is the loss of the life of civilization, and they will find ways to make up for it from all aspects. Moreover, the universe and the starry sky are not flat, and there are enemies all around. There is no reason not to be on guard.

But in this situation where a full-scale war was launched dozens or hundreds of years in advance, it is understandable to say that these alien civilizations have recovered. Perhaps they have just talked about a few large-scale subspaces.

But aren't you afraid of getting stabbed in the ass by taking advantage of the opportunity when the dimensional space is integrated into the universe to launch an all-out war so recklessly?
Anyway, Liu Wen didn't quite understand their approach. The Human Alliance had explored many star regions and faced different alien civilizations, but the situations were similar. Over the years, more than trillions of humans had died in battle.

When a pioneer lord becomes a royal lord, he can apply to establish a country and move his territory back to the human territory. This is itself an act of increasing the material quality of mankind itself, and is also one of the main purposes of opening up to pioneer lords.

The few of them spent another half a month in worry. During this period, the war between the dimensional creatures and the lords of the pioneering star domain never stopped. Both sides were consuming each other. At this moment, life truly became a beating number.

Billions of crew members shed their blood in the starry sky, star systems were destroyed, and planetary plates were mixed and drifted in the endless wreckage.

At this point, both sides were exhausted and had little fighting strength left, but they still fought stubbornly.

Perhaps it was because they saw that the dimensional creatures were unable to complete the preset plan. The power of a dimensional divine court, without the existence of a conceptual level, was unable to resolve the human pioneering lord forces. After fighting for more than a month, they failed to even reach the human defense line and were blocked in a star field hundreds of light years away, unable to move forward.

So when Liu Wen and his companions thought it was just another ordinary day, the situation suddenly changed. Light beams with diameters of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers appeared from nowhere and shot out from the deep space of the universe, penetrating through layers of nebula obstacles, destroying all the stars and planets along the way, and directly hitting the human alliance's defense line.

On the human defense line, the cosmic wall formed by connecting together void fortresses was shining with brilliant light. Colorful whirlpools appeared in front of the light pillars, swallowing up all the incoming light pillars.

The beam of light lasted for a full three minutes. The feedback energy level caused all detectors to emit shrill alarms and all defense systems to automatically activate.

On the Human Alliance defense line, land-based fortress cannons covering tens or hundreds of square kilometers stretched out their muzzles from behind the armor and aimed at the void ahead. Planetary fortresses covering thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers in the back moved their armor away, and the muzzles with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers began to charge. The deep blue energy gathered to form energy lightning that flashed endlessly in the void.

In the void behind, subspaces opened up one after another, and large groups of warships sailed out of them, heading quickly towards various positions on the defense line.

In the open star field, the scanning and positioning equipment that had originally scanned nothing suddenly sounded a shrill alarm. When the staff looked over, they saw on the radar projection that they had already been surrounded by countless fleets. The detection energy level kept rising, and soon broke through the limit of the rule level and rushed towards a higher level.

The four people sitting in the command center now looked as bad as they could be, as ugly as customers who had been frozen in a funeral home for several days. Under their iron-blue faces were violently beating hearts, and their heads were dark and without any hope of survival.

"What should we do? How do we fight?" Zhang Boping asked bitterly. Outside the joint headquarters, the void was full of enemy fleets. Countless cannons were aimed at the joint headquarters. The energy level repeatedly broke through the limits, far exceeding the limits of what they could resist. If the Tianhe Division was not still there, he would have wanted to escape quickly.

Li Kui took a deep breath, his complexion recovered a little, he looked at the projection with cold eyes and said: "Start positioning, locate wherever the energy level is the highest, start all defense equipment, and make sure to resist until the Human Alliance launches an ultra-long-range space-time attack. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope!"

"Agree!" Liu Wen had no other choice. He could go offline directly and activate the background self-destruction program to completely destroy his mental clone, so that the enemy could not hurt himself through the mental clone. However, the result of doing so was that a few minutes later, the military police from the human rights organization would come to arrest him and then send him to a military court, charged with desertion and then executed.

The two commanders jointly issued an order, and the members of the Tianhe Division stationed in the scanning and positioning equipment immediately arranged for staff to start the positioning equipment and locate it in a star field three thousand light years away based on the scanning results.

The war broke out. Liu Wen didn't know if it was an all-out war, but he knew that on the radar projection in front of him, when any red dot was magnified, the size of the fleet contained in it was several times larger than theirs, and the energy level generally exceeded level eight and reached level nine, which means that the other party had its own rule domain.

When the scanning and positioning equipment was started for positioning, the fleet staying outside also launched an attack on the joint chest headquarters. Various rule-level energy strikes came like a storm, and in just a moment, the first line of defense that had been built with great effort was torn to pieces. The defensive fleet hurriedly retreated to the second line of defense.

The Tianhe Division 1 can now only hold the last line of defense to avoid being harmed by the rules. What they have to face is even more severe than the blow Liu Wen and his team faced.

Rule-class warships from all directions joined forces to launch rule suppression, continuously suppressing the rule field formed by thousands of psychic warships in Tianhe. The cosmic rules in the outer area were revised, and conventional equipment could not even support its shape in such an environment and collapsed.

When the positioning was completed, the defensive fleets of the two armies had lost hundreds of secondary biological legions on the way of retreat. The enemy's fierce firepower penetrated the rules protection and beat them without any ability to fight back, and they could only evacuate desperately.

"The positioning has been completed. I hope the Human Rights Alliance Operations Department can give more strength and divert the enemy's attention away from us." Xu Zemin prayed devoutly to his ancestors.

Liu Wen and Li Kui stared at the projection intently. It was expected that the defense line would be broken. Even this last line of defense would not last for a few minutes. In the end, the fleet curled up in the area of ​​several light hours of the joint headquarters to make the final resistance.

Tianhe Unit 1 has tried its best to maintain the rule protection of its own fleet, but it is still in danger under the rule field constructed by the enemy's rule warships. It may be covered by the enemy's rules at any time and fall into the abyss.

Therefore, no one placed hope on them, or they themselves placed their hopes on the scanning and positioning equipment, expecting that the ultra-long-range space-time attack of the Human Alliance could give them a way out.

Inside the Human Alliance defense line, when the joint headquarters was successfully positioned, several huge rings built around a star on a star ring behind the defense line began to rotate. The star's energy was swallowed by the rings, causing the star's brightness to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until the ring's rotation speed reached half the speed of light, a slight space-time ripple appeared on the ring and spread toward the void, but when it spread to millions of kilometers away, it suddenly disappeared.

In the located void area, slight ripples of space-time suddenly appeared and spread towards the surrounding void at a speed tens of millions times the speed of light, covering the void of several light hours in just a dozen seconds.

Before the enemy ships in the area could react, the space-time suddenly collapsed into mirror-like fragments of space-time. The fleet in the fragments was still sailing normally and launching attacks, as if it was completely unaware of its own situation.

As the fragments of space and time separated, the warships in them naturally broke and separated, and then gathered into a vortex in the waves of space and time. Countless fragments of space and time became the sharpest blades, rotating with the vortex, and were then thrown out by inertia, cutting off all matter and energy along the way at superluminal speed.

Fireworks bloom all over the sky!
