Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

The legislators can think of this, and so can Erro.

He wanted to raise this question, but was first spoken out by the members of parliament.

Elro nodded and said: "Then develop the railgun route, long-range bombardment, which can be used as the first line of defense for the drone-carrying ship."

"I agree, let's do it this way, unlock the cruiser technology as soon as possible, have a stronger drone carrier ship, and a stronger meat shield cannon cruiser."

"This requires trade coins, a lot of trade coins, we need the rare resources in the S-01919 star system."

"It's good to set aside disputes and develop together, we need a buffer period."

"If necessary, you can show weakness first and stabilize the opponent..."

……

S-01919 star system.

The starry sky is vast, cold, dark and dead.

In an empty starry sky, a huge fleet is hovering quietly.

All "Nerus-class" industrial ships and "Charger-class" mining ships.

A total of 37 ships, 21 industrial ships, 16 mining ships.

Not far from the starry sky ahead, a battleship can be seen flying out of the asteroid group from time to time.

At this time, in an "Astrology Star" destroyer outside the asteroid group...

Rex breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news from the 13-member council.

He is still the commander of the fleet, and the 13-member council did not punish him.

And the order issued by the 13-member council caused a trace of doubt to flash in Rex's eyes.

Without an order to attack, the 13-member council asked him to mine extensively at the edge of the star system to obtain rare minerals.

Did the 13-member council give up the habitable planet?

It is a negative approach to shelve disputes and jointly develop.

The "Warhammer" forces will find it here soon.
Will they watch the "Freedom and Democracy Federation" acquire resources in the S-01919 star system?
Indeed, in the open space, it is beneficial for UAV swarm operations.

But without the addition of new forces, can the current fleet alone defeat the enemy?
Rex was very skeptical about this.

"The ships obeyed the order, the battle plan has been changed, the advance fleet has become an escort fleet, and all mining barges immediately set off to collect rare minerals from the asteroid group, be careful not to go too deep."

"The escort fleet immediately dispatched drones to escort and cruise within a radius of [-] kilometers of the mining resource point. If an enemy fleet is found, it should be evacuated first and not to fight."

"The industrial ship is waiting outside the asteroid group, waiting for the shipment of ore powder..."

An order is an order, he can doubt the order, but he must carry it out.

He has already failed once, and he must obey orders.

Before long, the Council of Thirteen will send more mining barges to arrive.

Rex knew that this defeat had caused the 13-member council to change its goal.

From controlling the S-01919 star system to obtaining rare mineral resources in the S-01919 star system.

Outside, following Rex's order, the logistics fleet that was originally stationary moved.

Blue-and-white flames spewed from the engine at the back of the dark yellow mining barge straight toward the asteroid swarm.

Although their hulls are small, only 133 meters long, they are good at mining.

All equipment on the hull is for mining.

The industrial ship did not move, and remained in place.

Industrial ships don't have too thick armor, too strong shields, and the hull structure is quite fragile.

Once it enters the asteroid group, once it is hit by an asteroid, there is only one result.

That is shipwreck.

Some "Earth Elf" drones flew out of the cargo gates of some industrial ships.

That is, the returning battleship directly and remotely controlled the "Earth Elf" drone transported in the industrial ship to replenish the losses in the battle.

In order to control the S-01919 star system, the "Freedom and Democratic Federation" has made complete preparations.

In addition to the drones that come with the fleet, the industrial ship also carries more than 2000 "Earth Spirit" drones.

Its purpose is to supplement the loss of the fleet in battle.

……

S-01888 star system.

No matter when, in the dark starry sky, the planet is always so beautiful.

Even a khaki planet looks so gorgeous.

Under the light of the stars, the whole body exudes a faint halo.

In the orbit of No. [-] star, it is still busy.

The huge portal of time and space hovered above the star ring plane as usual.

Hundreds of "iron slave" mining machines travel between the star ring and the gate of time and space.

There are endless "iron slave" mining boats coming in and out of the gate of time and space, sometimes even forming a long queue.

Compared with four years ago, the asteroid group in the star ring has become more fragmented.

Sometimes even an area of ​​dust is visible.

This is not a phenomenon of depletion. Even if the mining scale is increased tenfold, the reserves of the star ring can still be mined for decades.

On the other side of the gate of time and space, a huge semi-automated factory floats in the white void.

It is huge, without any shape at all, and the metal building extends outwards irregularly.

It can be seen that there are many docks, engineering platforms, aprons and harbors.

A large number of engineering machines shuttled through the white void, filling every inch of space.

Eventually, the automated factory will become a hollow spherical shape.

Large and small docks are arranged in layers, and warships under construction can be seen in a large number of docks.

There are eight battleships that have already taken shape, like a finished product, and the day of launching is not far away.

At this time, on a small dock platform, two people were standing behind the glass wall.

"There are 25 slave laborers working here, and the production efficiency of the semi-automated factory has increased to 100%. In the future, the semi-automated factory will continue to expand until it covers every inch of space. To increase the production efficiency to [-]%, it will take at least a hundred Thousands of slave labor."

The scale of the giant project is very exaggerated and shocking.

Looking at the metal world outside and the "slave labor" mining boats flying past in front of him, Li Meng was speechless.

It's been over two years outside, and in Sequential Space, almost 20 years have passed.

After 20 years of construction, the semi-automated factory is still expanding, which shows its large scale.

The diameter of the fault space can be a hundred kilometers, if every inch is filled, it will be a metal building with a diameter of one hundred kilometers.

"Due to military needs, according to the requirements of "King", the construction plan of 36 warships has been put on the agenda, and it is expected to be launched one after another within 24 months, including 24 "Cobra" destroyers and "Flame Storm" escort ships. 12 ships."

Speaking of this, Donald turned around and saluted the "king".

The mechanical, hoarse voice continued to sound from the hood.

"Wang, I'm sorry, the research on the subspace engine parallel connection device has failed, and the subspace engines cannot be connected in parallel. Forced parallel connection will interfere with each other, and the subspace crack cannot be opened."
