Li Huamei used the "teleport module" integrated in the "Wizard" universal tool to return to the Dawn Fortress before the flagship exploded - long-term research on the combination of science and magic finally bore fruitful results, and a large number of practical magic became ordinary Technological modules that people can use - this makes the all-purpose tools manufactured by Dawn finally live up to the name of "Wizard".
This progress was due to the magic theory and wand manufacturing process of Harry's world that Lu Yuan brought back.
Unfortunately, for ordinary staff and mercenaries from the Mass Effect world, only the "Wizard" seven-type multi-purpose tool that is a purely technological module is currently popular; only the geth, Misaka, greenskins and members of the Old Dawn can use the eight-type multi-tool. Type and Type Nine; and the most high-end "Wizard" Type Ten, handmade by Lu Yuan, is only distributed to the core members of the Dawn Regiment.
"Is something wrong?" Li Huamei stopped unbuttoning her cloak and looked at Leona who came in and asked.
"Two good news... maybe." Leona looked a little happy and a little helpless. "The good news for sure is that the Aquamarine Kingdom has surrendered to us! We don't know the specific reason yet, but you can finally breathe a sigh of relief, Commander, they have a population of 70 billion!"
"That's great. I'll make tea for you." Li Huamei was in a good mood. She threw her cloak aside and walked towards the place where the tea set was placed.
In the past eight months, although it seemed on the surface - every time Mona and other soldiers of the new galaxy fought against the Dawn Party, hundreds of millions of people died in battle! The Dawn only lost battleships and no personnel every time - it seemed to have taken a big advantage.
But in fact, due to the serious imbalance in population resources between the two sides, the attendance rotation rate of the frontline personnel on the Dawn is 5, while the attendance rotation rate of the main frontline personnel in the new galaxy such as the Mona people is only 31! The Dawn's large In the Mass Effect world at the rear, trade is still used to meet logistics; while logistics in the New Galaxy have been integrated during wartime, and the attendance rotation rate of ordinary people is 17. If it hadn't already absorbed the populations of six surrendering countries, the Dawn's duty rotation rate would be even higher.
In the early stages of the battle, the overall strategy of the Grand March almost failed due to the exhaustion of the personnel - if it were not for the geth's extraordinary ability to withstand pressure.
Nowadays, both sides are in a continuous cycle of production, fighting, and destruction. The Dawn side is overall more "tired" than the New Galaxy side.
"What's the second good news?" Li Huamei asked with a smile after placing two cups of emerald green tea on the coffee table and inviting Leona to sit down.
"Stellar Furnace No. 25 announced its surrender to us..."
"Ugh~" Li Huamei covered her mouth and almost spit out the tea she just drank. "What did you say?!"
Leona was also a little helpless, "I told you it might not be good news."
The stellar furnace is not just a cabbage on the roadside, but a super artificial celestial body that uses stars as fuel!
Its diameter exceeds one light-year, and its mass exceeds the sum of hundreds of star systems - it is a super structure that cannot be described by the limits of human imagination! It is the most brilliant and important civilization crystallization in the uninterrupted hundreds of millions of years of development history of the New Galaxy!
Moreover, the stellar furnace not only represents the crystallization of industry and technology, it is itself a collection of energy and production, and is also the most important node of the new galaxy. The energy of each stellar furnace will be supplied free of charge to hundreds of billions of nearby galaxies for development, exploration and human life... However, this is of no use to Dawn.
First of all, the industrial systems of both sides are not on the same technology tree at all. Even if they occupy the other side's stellar furnace production base, they cannot just use it. As for spending hundreds of years researching and re-industrial transformation, it is better to build a new one. One; secondly, in terms of energy provided by the Stellar Furnace, City of Dawn is not inferior.
In fact, both parties are in a state of energy overflow, and the excess energy is useless.
The main goal of occupying the opponent's stellar furnace is to curb the opponent's productivity, control the nearby population, and destroy the neutron production base on the stellar furnace - these materials are mainly used to manufacture galactic prisons and neutron battleships - you don't You would think that just digging up "soil" on a white dwarf would be neutron material, right? In fact, pure neutrons (two down quarks and one up quark) account for less than 3% of the material composition of white dwarfs.
And there is also the issue of regular arrangement - just like the carbon element, the chaotic arrangement of atoms is called coal, the rhombus arrangement is called diamond, and the spherical arrangement with 60 vertices and 32 faces is called carbon 60. Similarly, neutrons also have problems with their arrangement. Only through nano-weaving technology, where neutrons are placed one neutron after another, can the product be a qualified neutron material.
Dawn has occupied four Stellar Furnaces, but failed to finally occupy them all. They will either self-destruct or be destroyed. Aliens are very courageous to succeed or die - and you just said you got me another one?
"It's Reimu..." Leona gave the answer. The two of them were speechless, and then decided not to take it seriously... It's not surprising that Reimu and his group got anything, and it's the same as losing it. Just because the Stellar Furnace fell into their hands, it didn't mean that it fell into Liming Fang's hands.
Two different things.
Don't expect too much, just be happy.
"Let's talk about something else..." However, a beep sound interrupted the two people's leisure time again.
"Looks like we can't talk anymore," Leona smiled bitterly after reading the message, "They grabbed another one!"
"Stellar Furnace No. 24! Stellar Furnace No. 24! Listen, No. 25 has fallen into my hands. You must surrender immediately, surrender immediately! Otherwise I will blow myself up! Do you understand? Surrender now, or I will blow myself up! You You guessed it right, I have the key, and I have found the red self-destruct switch!"
A girl's voice echoed on the stellar high-speed communication network - scaring the entire New Galaxy out of its wits!
Especially that voice sounds so young... You must know that even if the Stellar Furnace is controlled by intruders, it is not that scary, because they are sane adults! But if the nuclear button is placed in a child's hand, would you be afraid? !
That person said, didn't you say that the stellar furnace can only be reduced to stars and ruins, and will not explode? That's right, because the critical point for the stellar furnace to explode (actually collapse into a black hole) is too high, and it is impossible for any conventional weapon attack to cause the stellar furnace to self-explode.
But the stellar furnace does have a process of self-destruction. Through a series of complex operations, the stellar furnace can enter the process of irreversible collapse... The switch is in a conspicuous position on the control tower, and the key is stored in the hand of God! Obviously, this self-destruction is not actually aimed at a war between mortals, but its target is the Lord God who escapes!
Now this key link is in the hands of a little girl - as for where did Reimu Hakurei get this key?
Tip one, the dream god Valmina, who was killed by Lu Yuan, is also one of the "gods" in this world; tip two, the Gensokyo girl group with incredible luck is looting everywhere in the new galaxy...
Not to mention that the No. 24 Stellar Furnace Command Center was confused after hearing the "self-destruction threat", even the No. 25 Stellar Furnace she announced to occupy did not agree with her statement! To use a vulgar analogy: "Do you think that if you insert a penis into the soil, you will destroy the earth?" The diameter of a star's furnace is only one light-year (9.5 billion kilometers), which is comparable to the area of 400 million or 4 billion earths, and its impact Living with hundreds of billions of people... Reimu and the others only have less than 500 people, occupying only one command room, one of hundreds of thousands.
Is this called occupation?
But as those messages flooded in: "I can't cut off the connection network of the a447 control room!", "We were repelled", "They are trying to activate self-destruction!", "Thank my God, it was stopped... ", "Oh my god, they tried again!"...
The commander of Stellar Furnace No. 25 was heartbroken.
"Aren't they issuing a threat broadcast? Why start self-destruction now! Why? I need more psychological evaluation!" the commander roared.
But he was immediately roared back by his subordinates, "First of all, she is a woman, and a woman's mood is like the weather! Second, she is a child, and a child's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are simply a mystery when you are riding a horse. Now you are riding a horse. I guess what a girl thinks!”
If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely tell him why Lingmeng tried to self-destruct without any warning - because the naughty kid had a weak hand...
"Then what do we do?"
"... Surrender." The commander threw his hat on the console in frustration, "There are 700 million people working on the furnace, surrounded by 4,000 habitable planets, with 220 billion people living on them... We Can't afford the risk. Contact those children and say we have nothing to do with the Mona people. We will give them whatever they want and take whatever they want! Oh, from now on, she is our princess, 25 They're always welcome at the furnace... just don't push the damn button!"
"That's it? What if she just wants the Zero Point Furnace?"
The commander looked at his men like they were trash.
"This is a huge machine! And it's so heavy that it can't even move a micron! Think about it with your butt, who would want such a thing!"
Stellar Furnace No. 25 surrendered.
Forty minutes later, Furnace No. 26 also erected a huge white flag as required and announced its surrender. It took ten minutes to decide to surrender and 30 minutes to make a white flag that could be seen clearly from a light-year away.
"Haha, great!" Reimu's proud laughter echoed throughout the galaxy, and then everyone heard the girl say. "No. 23, did you hear No. 23? No. 24 has surrendered. If you don't hurry up, I will blow myself up on No. 24!"
... Countless people collapsed together.
After a long time, the threatened commander of Stellar Furnace No. 23 explained over the communication network, "I'm sorry, madam, you don't have the key to Furnace No. 24. That furnace will not explode. And the self-destruction of Furnace No. 25 will not affect us here." ——So No. 23 decided to resist to the end.”
"Okay," the girl agreed readily, "it seems you are a qualified soldier."
...24 and the commander of furnace No. 23 hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"But you reminded me," Reimu said cheerfully, "Although No. 25 cannot blow up to No. 23, we can blow up to No. 26 (the two sides of the No. 25 furnace are 24 and 26 respectively)!"
"No. 26! No. 26! There is no use pretending to be dead. Resistance will lead to death. I declare that you will surrender immediately. Surrender immediately!"
