Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

How did they do it?
The ship size of each technology template civilization is different.

No matter how advanced the technology is, there is one rule that will never be broken.

The construction period of small boats is short, and the construction period of large ships is long.

The opponent launched five warships with a length of 1.5 kilometers in two years.

And there are two even bigger ships, reaching a length of 1.8 kilometers.

How much manpower and infrastructure scale would it take to do this?
With the current level of human development on earth, can it really be done?

Stanley Wood didn't believe it, Brooke didn't believe it, and Wendell didn't believe it either.

But whether they believe it or not, the facts are already in front of them.

And they can only accept reality.

Looking up at the two, Brook took the lead and said, "President of the Council, what should we do now?"

Frowning tightly, Wendell on the side said solemnly: "You can't hide it, the fleet will always come back."

Wood Stevens shook his head and said, "There's no need to hide it, just tell the members of the council the truth."

"But……"

A trace of worry flashed in Brooke's eyes, and he asked uncertainly, "Can they accept such a result?"

Yeah, can members of parliament accept defeat?
Two years of hard work ended in vain, who can accept it?
Slightly waving his hand, Wood Steven said: "I know what you are worried about, but for the members of the council, this failure can be regarded as a growth. In the vast sea of ​​stars, no one is the protagonist. Too much self-confidence often makes people lose Vigilance, blind arrogance, it is time for some people to recognize the reality."

Speaking of this, Wood Stevens glanced over the two of them one by one.

Then said: "Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is not knowing the reason for your failure, let the "UNSC" deeply remember this lesson."

That's the only way...

In any case, failure is a fact.

It is the decision of all governors to launch a war abroad, and the result of failure should be borne by everyone.

They were a group, and Brook believed that none of them would lose their motivation because of this failure.

Maybe it can arouse the fighting spirit of the Governor-General's members.

One failure proves nothing.

Going from failure to success is more inspiring and cohesive.

"Brooke, immediately call all the governor's members to discuss the matter, and notify online if you can't come back."

Nodding his head, Brook turned and walked away quickly.

Glancing at the closed door, Wendell turned to look at the chairman of the council.

"President, this meeting is to discuss the future development direction of "UNSC"?"

Wood Stevens nodded lightly, and said, "Since this war has been lost, some things have to be considered."

Wendell naturally knew what the speaker meant.

Once the war is lost, their efforts in the past two years will be in vain.

In other words, they wasted the precious two years of development time in vain.

Soon after, a meeting was held at the "Star God" space station.

In the conference hall, 103 Governor-General members gathered and sat around a round table.

"is that true?"

"Of course it is true. The news has already spread. Soon, Governor Leo will lead the remaining fleet back to the S-01820 star system."

"Why did it fail? It doesn't make sense..."

"I heard that the military power of the forces in the S01888 star system is far beyond our imagination. There are six warships, four "Cobra" destroyers, and two "Firestorm-class" escort ships."

"How is this possible? The Warhammer 40K warships of the Human Empire are all big, and the construction period is so short?"

"That's right, there was only one "Cobra" destroyer two years ago, and five ships appeared in just two years?"

"So our two years of hard work have been in vain?"

"What do you say?"

"How could this be? I knew that I would have found a star system to develop honestly."

"It's better to say less. No one wants to fail. Everyone is already in a bad mood. Let's stop talking about things that affect everyone's unity."

The meeting hasn't started yet, and everyone who should come has already arrived.

Sitting around the round table, everyone began to discuss in low voices.

Under Wood Stevens' deliberate action, the news of the fleet's failure had already spread.

In this way, the governors and councilors who came to the meeting were prepared in their hearts.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wendell got up and stood up.

He shouted to the crowd: "Governors, please be quiet, be quiet!"

As soon as Wendell spoke, everyone knew that the meeting was about to begin.

The discussion in the conference hall quickly disappeared, and everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wendell sat down again.

The meeting officially begins...

On the main seat, Wood Stevens looked around at the people around the round table.

The expression on his face was only dignified, and he said: "I must tell you some bad news, we have failed in this foreign war!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the round table had different expressions on their faces.

They have already learned the news, but now, they just confirmed it from the head of the council.

"Why we failed is a big question and a small one."

Speaking of this, Wood Stevens paused slightly, and continued: "The big problem is that we wasted two years in vain, and the small problem is that failure is not terrible, and we are not doing nothing. At least we have a certain military industry, which will make our future road easier, and if we work hard enough, we will be able to recover lost time."

As soon as these words came out, the tense expressions on many people's faces relaxed a lot.

Yes, although I have worked hard for two years and have not reaped great results.

But they are not doing nothing.

Due to the strong military demand, the S-01820 star system is well developed.

With such a base camp, it will be much easier to do anything in the future.

One person asked aloud: "President, the defeat is not a big blow to us. We want to know whether this war will continue."

Yeah, will the war go on?
No war will end with a momentary victory or defeat.

They care more about whether the war will continue than the result of failure.

Everyone looked at Wood Stevens, they needed to know the answer.

Facing everyone's eyes, Wood Stevens said, "Whether the war will continue, I need everyone's opinions."

What do you think?
Everyone looked at each other and started talking in low voices.

One person said: "If you lose, you will lose. If you lose, it means that we cannot occupy the S-01888 star system. Instead of entangled with the unknown forces in the S-01888 star system, it is better to develop in other directions. The Milky Way is so big, it is unnecessary Keep an eye on the S-01888 star system."
