Even if it is not enough to retain all the 160,000 logistics and engineering personnel brought by this expedition, the solar system will need to dispatch another engineering team of at least 1 million people.
Starting from the next exercise, more than half of the material supply tasks for the Yuanshan Alliance Pollux system exercise will be undertaken by human civilization.
The news spread back to the solar system, and all the high-level humans who knew the news were shocked.
Although it was expected that human civilization would fail miserably in the exercise, no one expected that it would fail so miserably.
Is this just a fiasco? This is clearly a huge gap with the other three civilizations, and there is no hope of winning at all!
"This news... is better to be sealed and not announced to the public. Or even if it is announced, it should be downplayed."
A human executive looked serious: "This is really shocking."
"I agree."
"It's better not to announce it. It's too embarrassing. Our human civilization has just become independent, and it's the time when civilization needs self-respect. Now, hey..."
The government of human civilization and the members of the Civilization Committee each sighed.
Han Liang remained calm for a long time, and then slowly said: "It must be announced. Not only must it be announced, but it must be publicized with great fanfare. However, the focus of the publicity can be adjusted appropriately.
Our human civilization has become increasingly impetuous during this period, and has even become a bit arrogant.
Do you really think that if you defeat the Eta civilization and solve the electric disaster, you will be number one in the universe? Let this result pour cold water on it, just right. "
Social management is an extremely computationally demanding task. Han Yang is not willing to put too much computing power into trivial social management matters, but is more willing to put it into the most important overall control and technological development.
Except for some important matters involving the lifeline of civilization, Han Yang usually leaves other social management tasks to the human government.
Under this situation, Han Yang actually does not have much control over civilized public opinion, customs, values, etc. At this moment, it is just right to use the Beihe military exercise fiasco to achieve a certain effect and save computing power.
This was something Han Yang had anticipated and determined from the beginning.
Hearing Han Liang's decision, the other committee members had no choice but to agree: "Then, where should the focus be?"
“Put it on the three subjects that won third place.
It is necessary to clearly show the huge gap between our civilization and the other three civilizations, to face up to the gap, and at the same time, through the unity of the soldiers, they must strive to be the first, finally get rid of the fourth and last place, and try to inspire the spirit of struggle. "
We are indeed lagging behind now and have indeed suffered a heavy defeat. But we can face the gap squarely, and we have the spirit of never admitting defeat. We will unite, work harder to develop technology, train harder, and wait for the next military exercise!
"yes."
As soon as the news was announced, just as Han Yang expected, it caused an uproar in society. But then, various propaganda methods caught up, and began to vigorously publicize the details of the military exercise, the huge gap in science and technology, and the fact that even in the face of such difficult conditions, the soldiers still united and fought bravely, and finally succeeded in the three subjects. The incident of getting rid of the bottom grade, etc.
Sure enough, the direction of public opinion began to turn as Han Yang expected. The previous impetuous and arrogant atmosphere was slowly cleared away, and the entire civilization finally began to be down-to-earth.
At this time, Zhang Mingyang, commander of the human exercise fleet, also got the opportunity to report to Han Liang in person.
In the video, Zhang Mingyang, who was far away in the Pollux galaxy, had a face full of shame.
"Führer, I'm sorry, I have betrayed your trust and the trust and hope of civilization."
Han Liang smiled generously: "Ming Yang, you have done well enough. Failure is not terrible, but failure to recover is terrible.
Civilization is developing, and technology is also developing. One day, you will be able to lead our human fleet and achieve results in the Pollux galaxy that are enough to inspire the entire civilization. Of course, the premise is that you can never give up. "
Zhang Mingyang is still in a low mood: "Head of State, the soldiers of the exercise fleet have applied to stay in the Pollux system to carry out subsequent base construction and material supply tasks. In this way, the civilization can also dispatch fewer people, saving transportation capacity and manpower."
Han Yang knew very well in his heart that this was nothing more than the soldiers feeling humiliated, silently facing Jiangdong's elders, and unwilling to return to the solar system. At the same time, there is also a certain atonement mentality.
Han Liang reprimanded him unceremoniously: "What are you talking about! A soldier's duty is to fight, what's the point of doing logistics?
Civilization does not need that little manpower and material resources!
If you lose, you should come back quickly, return to the solar system to continue training, continue to familiarize yourself with and run-in new equipment, and prepare for the next exercise to avenge the past!
If you run away after losing the fight, then how dare civilization and the people leave more important tasks to you! "
In this military exercise, Han Yang may not have meant to polish these proud soldiers. But now that the setback has been great enough, we still need to focus on comfort and encouragement.
Sure enough, stimulated by Han Yang's words, Zhang Mingyang immediately blushed and puffed up his chest: "We are not afraid of hardship or death! Even if we risk our lives, the tasks entrusted to us by civilization and the people will be completed!"
Han Yang softened his tone a little: "Let me show you something."
A video screen starts playing. In the picture, countless people gathered in the square, waving banners and shouting slogans.
"You are heroes!"
"A warm welcome home to our heroes!"
"Failure is not terrible, stand up, victory is right in front of you!"
In addition to these, there are also a large number of displays of online public opinion.
"Our human warriors are not bad! They have done their best under the current conditions and even exceeded their original goals."
"Every soldier in the exercise fleet is a hero!"
"I simply can't imagine how much hardship and effort the soldiers put in to finish third under such unfavorable conditions..."
There are thousands of replies below every hot post, almost all of which are recognition and encouragement of the achievements of human warriors.
Looking at these pictures, Zhang Mingyang's eye circles gradually turned a little red. He stood up and saluted Head of State Han Liang in the picture.
Han Liang said calmly: "Return as planned."
"yes!"
Communication was cut off, and Zhang Mingyang stood in the confidential communication room without moving for a long time. After a long time, he turned around resolutely and showed the scene that Han Liang had shown him before to every soldier through the many large screens on the space carrier.
At this moment, in the huge space carrier, no matter how hard and tiring the training was, the soldiers who had the lowest performance in the exercise without shedding a single tear all had red eyes at this moment.
The exercise fleet set off and returned to the solar system as scheduled, while 160,000 logistics and engineering personnel stayed in the Pollux system.
At the same time, a large aerospace carrier also set off in the direction of the solar system, fully loaded with various engineering machinery and supplies, as well as up to 1 million hibernating logistics and engineering personnel, heading to Pollux to prepare for subsequent material supply tasks.
Stimulated by this incident, all soldiers in the entire military became serious and calm. Especially the soldiers preparing to participate in the next exercise will train even harder.
Scientists have also become more serious about their work. Because everyone knows that the main reason for the disastrous failure of human exercises is still because technology is not developed enough.
Through this incident, the entire civilization was united again and achieved results that far exceeded Han Yang's expectations. Even if he devoted half of his computing power to social management, he would not be able to achieve results.
Fifty years passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, the returning fleet led by Zhang Mingyang and the engineering fleet departing from the solar system were still on the way. In the Pollux system, the second human fleet had arrived, and a new exercise was about to begin.
Because the human engineering fleet has not yet arrived, the remaining three civilizations will be responsible for part of the material supply task for this exercise. But after the human engineering fleet arrives, these will all be returned.
The Pollux system was once again shrouded in artillery fire.
After several years, the exercise finally ended. This time, human civilization still got the bottom result.
In terms of overall score, Yuanshan Civilization still ranks first, with a score of 94.5.
Motan and Fix Civilization, who were second and third, got scores of 74.9 and 73.6, which were not much different from the previous exercise.
The fourth-placed human civilization has jumped from 55.2 points in the last exercise to 64.7 points, an increase of nearly ten points. The point difference with the Motan and Fix civilizations has also narrowed to within ten points!
Among the specific exercise subjects, human civilization ranked third in 23 subjects, and even ranked second in 3 subjects!
This is quite astonishing.
Only fifty years have passed, and the human fleet seems to have undergone a radical change.
Not only is the fleet technology more advanced, but software aspects such as strategy and tactics have also shown improvements that frighten the other three major civilizations.
"The human fleet has improved too quickly. If this continues, by the next exercise, we might actually be ranked behind humans!"
"How can this be done? In the past, with the Eta civilization, we could barely be justified in ranking fourth. Now it's human civilization, and we still rank fourth?"
"In that case, we would be really embarrassed to go back! The Yuan Dynasty can't protect us!"
"No, please notify the head of state immediately. The next exercise fleet must take it seriously and go all out!"
Yuanshan Civilization can still sit still. After all, the advantage is too great and it is impossible to be caught up. The fleet commanders of the Motan Civilization and the Phix Civilization began to become solemn.
Human civilization's performance in the Pollux exercise was at the bottom, but the overall score improved by ten points, and the news that it ranked second in several subjects was reported back to the solar system, which immediately caused an uproar.
