Zerg OL: This game is a bit dry

Chapter 1025: New Research Begins

"When gods fight, mortals suffer. In front of super combat celestial bodies, our warships are just like little Kara."

Thinking back to what happened before, the captain couldn't help but worry for himself.

If their warships were not more inclined towards reconnaissance and had not been relatively fast at the time, they would have been destroyed long ago with their defensive capabilities.

Fortunately, the risk is worth it, at least for now.

After all, the rewards for these missions are very generous. Of course, if the rewards are not rich enough, no one would take the risk.

All in all, this matter is barely acceptable to them.

After all, risk and reward are directly proportional, and they couldn't help but feel that their previous operations were more or less a bit cunning. After all, replacing the huge fleet with these elite fleets did reduce the losses on the battlefield a lot.

They had been in a lot of trouble before.

Especially when performing various tasks, they also felt physically and mentally exhausted, but at least the ship survived in the end. It is true that the tasks of special ships are much more cumbersome, but it is still acceptable to them.

Because compared to seeing other warships being destroyed one after another on the battlefield, it is obvious that the current situation is undoubtedly much better for them.

They have witnessed with their own eyes the situation where an entire fleet was wiped out. If they were one of them, they wouldn't have to think too much about what it would mean.

All in all, the current situation is relatively good for them.

Looking at the newly assigned task at this time, the captain couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This time, the task he accepted was to investigate the security around the resource transportation routes.

This also surprised him.

"Why would this mission be released all of a sudden? The super combat celestial bodies on the front lines are still fighting. It's a bit strange to release this mission all of a sudden."

However, he soon figured out the reason. It was obvious that the main civilization was now in a tense situation with the other side. In such a situation, both sides must be competing to see who had more sufficient logistics and resources.

It is also for this reason that both sides will definitely think of how to cut off the opponent's supply lines first. This is the key among the keys.

After all, only in this way would the other side not be able to hold on. After thinking about this, they understood the reason. The captain also felt fortunate about this, because at least they were sent to the rear.

Compared to the group of special warships that had performed missions with them before and were sent to the front line, they undoubtedly did not need to worry too much about their own safety.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate.

After all, luck is sometimes a kind of strength, and being able to avoid dangerous areas is naturally better for them.

After accepting the mission, they made some preparations and set off immediately. It was similar to the previous mission, with different tasks divided into different layers. The first was to command the cruiser to take the plunder and enter the regular escort formation. Their stealth battleships were of course still the same as before, heading to different areas as lone wolves.

After all, if the other party hides and wants to be found, the only way is to cast a wide net or use a random profit system for both parties, which the other party cannot completely see through. So for both sides, the probability of being discovered is 50% each, and it depends on who has better luck.

“I don’t know what the final outcome of this battle will be.”

At this time, the captain in the spaceship was thinking that the duration of this battle had exceeded the budget of both sides. Even if the main civilization used the means of downgrading, it ultimately failed due to various reasons. Now both sides have entered a state of attrition, which makes the captain feel that things are becoming more and more difficult.

After hearing his words, his teammates nodded to show that they agreed and understood the current situation.

"The enemy's technology is much higher than ours, so they will definitely have more advantages in the later stages, especially in conducting relevant targeted technological research during the battle. They definitely have an absolute advantage. If we can't cut the Gordian knot quickly, the longer the battle lasts, the less advantage it will have for us."

What his teammates said was exactly what he was worried about, but he was also very clear that these were not things he should care about.

After all, he can't play any role on the battlefield at all. Instead of thinking about these messy things, he might as well think about how to complete his task.

Just like that, he put aside these messy thoughts and focused on other things.

After all, the most important thing for him now is the mission.

What he needs to do is to complete the task as quickly as possible and then consider other things.

Just like that, he drove the battleship and led his team members to carefully look around. It was relatively safe all the time, and the thing he was most worried about did not happen.

Once a problem occurs, he will issue a warning immediately and open a channel to allow supporting warships to come here at a very fast speed to support and eliminate the enemy.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Several years have passed since he accepted the task, and he has earned a lot of contributions during these years. According to the current rate of earning, after the war is over, he will be able to set up a complete mining team, which is also his goal.

By then, his mining team would not only have the most advanced mining shed, but also so many advanced warships and other ordinary warships. It would form a fleet group, and he would even consider adding a few flagship-level warships if conditions allowed, so that their fleet group would be perfect.

Of course, there is another benefit to doing this, which is that if a similar incident happens again later, he can set off with his own fleet.

Of course, the premise of all this is that you must complete your mission perfectly and survive to the end. If something unexpected happens along the way, then you're basically done for.

However, even if problems arise along the way, he can now strictly accept the losses. The only flaw is that it may be unrealistic to complete his plan.

Because the money he earned over the years is enough to buy the same warship again, he is not afraid of losses now. The worst that can happen is that he will return to the starting point.

Moreover, the contributions he made over the years have allowed him to escape unscathed with the warship, and he can even go and get a job at the back, because the war has now entered a special stage, and it would not work if he continued to go back after the battle as before. However, there is another way now, which is to transfer you to a leisurely position in the back, where there is basically no danger, and you can recuperate in disguise.

Of course, he could do the same now, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

Of course, this was not because he wanted to make a contribution or anything. To put it bluntly, the first reason why he did this was that there was no so-called absolutely safe area on the battlefield, even in the rear. It was so. If the rear was attacked, it might be worse than the front, because the force in the rear was seriously insufficient. So if he chose the rear, there was no need for this.

The reason why he continues to stay on the front line is also because of this reason. Although the risk in the rear is low, it is not zero. So it is better to stay on the front line. Although the risk is high, the return is also very high. Especially now that he has made his money back, he does not need to worry about losses at all.

In the past, he might have taken various factors into consideration, but now he doesn't have so many concerns at all.

Even if there is a loss, it is not unacceptable.

At least compared to the past, when you really had nothing after a loss, it is completely different.

Although he has lost his fortune now, he still has his assets, so he is not particularly worried about this matter.

While he was still thinking about it, an alarm suddenly sounded on the radar. When he heard the alarm, his expression changed.

"what happened?"

"Captain scanned the enemy ship!"

"Enemy warships are gathering, and they have set up a jump channel."

He was slightly startled when he heard the news. Without thinking too much, he immediately sounded the alarm and then reported the situation here to the headquarters. After receiving the news, the headquarters immediately arranged the relevant tasks. At the same time, he also began to set up a jump channel and waited for the support warships to arrive.

Soon, the warships here also arrived one after another. Similarly, when the warships here appeared, the fleet group of Civilization No. 1 was the first to discover that the two sides did not have much communication at all and immediately started fighting. For a while, the originally peaceful area was suddenly filled with flames.

In this way, the two sides began a head-on confrontation.

The warships on both sides were evenly matched.

At the same time, after the fighting broke out here, subsequent support troops also rushed over, and the originally small-scale war was gradually expanding.

Of course, when Civilization No. 1 was making trouble here, the subordinate civilizations of the insects were also making trouble over there. At this time, many areas along the supply line of Civilization No. 1 had already started fighting.

Now they have the ability to take the initiative to attack, so they will naturally not show mercy when facing a sudden attack from the enemy's affiliated civilization.

At this time, in the combat command center of the subordinate civilization.

"Currently, 1 supply lines of Civilization 347 have started fighting, and 243 of our supply lines have been attacked by Civilization ."

"The casualty ratio between the two sides is now basically controlled at 5:5. It is obvious that we do not have much advantage because the enemy has too many more warships than we do. The main civilization is mainly responsible for the front battlefield, so the subsequent battlefields must rely on us."

As he spoke, the commander quickly glanced over the current combat situation and then began to deploy.

“The general situation has been basically determined.”

"From now on, send a search team to find other resource transportation lines of Civilization No. 1, and we also need to increase security along the resource transportation lines and nearby areas as soon as possible."

Resource transportation is not something that can be accomplished overnight, nor can it be completed on a single line. Usually, there are many resource transportation lines. Even if one line is completely cut off, the subsequent routes can still transport resources normally, but the output is reduced.

In general, the resource transportation line affiliated civilizations choose to drive jump channels, and use some special equipment to build such channels to maintain their existence for a long time. With these channels, even slow-moving industrial ships can transport resources to the battlefield at a very fast speed.

Of course, if you want to introduce a secret device that won’t be discovered, then a lot of resources will be required.

In order to avoid being discovered, the construction was mainly carried out in secrecy, which led to a significant reduction in construction efficiency.

Thinking of this, the commander naturally understood where some subsequent problems might arise.

"Currently, it takes a lot of time to open up new routes and build them."

"If the original route has too many activity tracks, it will be easy to be discovered."

"The amount of resources required for the task assigned by the main civilization is simply too huge."

All these problems gave him a headache. If he wanted to ensure efficiency, then safety might be greatly compromised. If he wanted to consider safety, then efficiency would be a problem. In short, it was too difficult to have the best of both worlds.

He has no way to deal with this now. He can only take the dumbest method, which is to continuously expand the lines. As long as the expansion speed is fast enough, there is no need to worry about being found by Civilization No. 1.

At worst, you find the old line and I will immediately switch to the new one. In fact, what he doesn’t know is that the situation on Civilization No. 1’s side is similar to his.

After all, they have no way to completely avoid the insects' detection now, so their current situation is not much different from that of the insects.

Both sides would change positions immediately after being discovered, because if you want to fight, the two sides are evenly matched. So it is easy for the bugs to cut off a line, and this is the only way they can operate at present.

Of course, if the current situation continues, the two civilizations will fight for a long time, which is something that both civilizations do not want to see, so they try their best to destroy the other party's supply lines as quickly as possible.

Only if the supply is cut off, the opponent will not be able to maintain the current state.

Especially now that resources are scarce, the attacks of the two civilizations have obviously weakened, and more resources have been put into repair.

This also means that the injuries of the two civilizations' super combat celestial bodies are slowly recovering.

At this time, Jiang Yao was working hard on researching another technology.

This technology is naturally able to completely deal with the special energy of his attack.
