A total of 13,712 people surrendered, including 9,100 people belonging to the 9th Army. Everyone was wounded, and more than half were seriously injured. Originally, a total of 60,000 people in the 9th Army were cut off, but more than 80% of them were killed in the battle. Almost the rest were wounded and unable to fight anymore, so they surrendered.
Looking at Grant's tired and numb eyes, Chu Jungui understood that this elite team might not be able to keep its title.
There are still a group of people in the 9th Army fighting with the Lightyear airdrop force. This army that originally numbered 30,000 people only had less than 20,000 people left when they surrendered.
The 6th Marine Corps invested 100,000 people on the battlefield, and eventually captured 65,000 people, with one-third of the casualties, most of them killed in action. Most of the casualties came from the sweeps of the Underworld Queen and the three underworld princesses. Under their terrifying high-energy beams, no life could survive. The time the chariot could resist was measured in units of 0.01 seconds.
The two elite marine forces eventually suffered more than half of their casualties, and only 90,000 people fell into Chu Jungui's hands.
The casualty ratios of other federal troops were also above 20%, but the majority of the casualties were wounded and not many died in battle. Of the 300,000 ordinary marines, 80,000 eventually escaped, 30,000 were killed, and 190,000 became prisoners of light years.
Now counting the 100,000 troops left behind, the Federation only has 180,000 troops on the surface of the planet, at least one-third of which are wounded. In addition, there are tens of thousands of logistics, transportation and auxiliary troops with little combat effectiveness. And Chu Jungui still has 50,000 tanks in his hands. It can be said that a single charge can drive the Federation out of Planet 4.
However, Chu Jungui did not continue to pursue, but began to clean up the battlefield. He now has nearly 700,000 federal prisoners on his hands, a number he feels is worth talking about.
At this moment, within the battlefield of hundreds of kilometers, the burning flames are gradually extinguished, but the smoke will still linger for a long time. Dozens of Arks drove into the battlefield, and then hundreds of people jumped from them and began to clear the battlefield. They are all former Federation soldiers. What they have to do now is to separate the corpses from the wounded and treat the wounded.
There are 30,000 federal prisoners willing to join Lightyear, and more than 100,000 others are willing to provide limited cooperation and engage in some non-combat work in exchange for better living conditions and priority release. For example, battlefield cleanup and treatment at this moment are non-combat tasks.
The addition of a large number of prisoners greatly accelerated the battlefield clearing process. At the same time, the surrendered troops were gathered into dozens of assembly points, then disrupted, loaded into arks, and transported to the rear. Lightyear now has enough production capacity, so Chu Jungui hurriedly made a batch of transport boxes.
These one-meter-square, two-meter-long boxes were specially used to load prisoners, one box per person, and then piled onto the ark. With this efficient method of transportation, an ark could carry thousands of people.
In addition to the prisoners, the surrendering troops left Chu Jungui with more than 10,000 intact tanks, 1,200 mechas, including 400 heavy mechas, as well as more than 100 assault boats and 10 fire support ships boat. It can be said that Chu Jungui now has a complete sample of the Federation's Planetary Marine Force standard equipment.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of wreckage of tanks on the battlefield, and hundreds of supply trucks carrying ammunition and energy have also become Lightyear's bag.
However, the most valuable ones are the two mobile command centers, one of which is almost intact. Especially the one that Crassus was riding in, the main brain was controlled by Kaitian in advance, and all self-destruction procedures were suspended. If an intact battle-level command master falls into human hands, it is almost certain that the Federation will have to replace and upgrade the entire communications and intelligence system, and this cost alone will cost hundreds of billions.
In addition, the corpses of the 18 black-armored soldiers always gave Chu Jungui an indescribable complicated feeling, so he immediately took these corpses back to the rear to find Le Mans. It was left to the wise man and Li Xuancheng to clean up the battlefield.
As soon as he returned to the base, Chu Jungui went straight to Le Mans' laboratory. A moment later, the body of a black-armored warrior was placed on the operating table in the center of the laboratory.
This corpse looked like a male, with obvious male characteristics. The entire body was well-proportioned and strong, like a lying sculpture.
Le Mans put on special research clothes, put on a protective mask, and then moved his fingers. One of the two nurses next to him was holding a tray with more than a dozen injections, and the other was busy injecting Le Mans. Le Mans received six different types of injections, some to keep him calm, some to maintain his strength, and some to allow him to concentrate on operations for a long time.
In addition to Le Mans himself, there were two assistants, a man and a woman, who also received injections. Now Le Mans also has an assistant.
All preparations were completed, and the medical equipment in the laboratory also completed a preliminary scan of the body. Le Mans first stroked the corpse's chest, pressed it, and said: "It has been more than 10 hours since his death, but the corpse is still elastic, and the body tissue shows no signs of softening. In addition, I did not see any pores on the skin." , it’s not like skin, but like a beautifully made close-fitting garment…”
After the preliminary identification, Le Mans finally picked up the scalpel and cut open the skin of the corpse with some difficulty. The scanning beam above the head then shone into the open wound, analyzing and recording the data. The wound did not bleed, but oozed a milky white fluid. Le Mans carefully collected the liquid and filled several test tubes without any waste.
He looked inside the wound and said: "The strength and toughness of the skin far exceeds the normal level of human beings, and is close to specially strengthened organic fabrics. Now I feel that this is not skin, but clothes. This kind of strength cannot be used Normal explanation requires microstructural analysis..."
Le Mans cut off a small piece of skin and handed it to an assistant nearby. The assistant immediately sent the sample to the analysis center not far away. Ever since Lightyear became rich, Chu Jungui had never been stingy in purchasing equipment. The equipment level of the Le Mans laboratory is now comparable to that of the first-class laboratories of the Dynasty or the Federation. The most expensive thing in the entire laboratory is not the equipment, but the room that allows these equipment to work properly.
Chu Jungui looked at it for a while and then left the laboratory, leaving Le Mans to work on his own. The entire analysis process is expected to take at least 20 hours.
Chu Jungui thought for a while, then asked someone to take out another body, and then summoned several doctors. He asked doctors to break the body into a dozen parts, freeze them quickly and put them into containers. Then he took it upon himself to dismantle the black armor they wore, and also dismantled it into small pieces that could be put into handbags. Then Chu Jungui opened the wormhole transmission device and transmitted these samples to Dr. Zero. The remaining black-armored warriors were deep-frozen and then sealed.
After dealing with the black-armored warriors, Chu Jun returned to the control center in the production area. Standing on the top floor of the high control center, you can see the crystal cores of the Alpha Cannon being spit out from 10 huge factories. In each factory, there are five production lines that are constantly producing alpha crystal cores. Further away, in a giant factory building that is obviously several times larger than other factories, a giant energy lens with a diameter of 20 meters is taking shape.
According to production records, two energy lenses have been scrapped during production, and this is the third one. In fact, the scrap rate of components such as energy lenses, which require extremely high precision, is an astonishing 85%. However, even if there is not one finished product out of 5 energy lenses, the total cost of the Hades Type 1 is still only 2 billion.
In fact, the yield rate of Alpha crystal is not high, only around 30%. However, in order to improve production efficiency, Lightyear's engineers came up with an alternative method. They refined several large crystals at once, and then found the qualified parts and slowly cut them. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to cut out ten finished large crystals, but on average, only three finished alpha crystals are finally cut out. The rest is naturally waste. This is a staggering waste from an energy perspective, but the production speed is increased by three times. Chu Jungui acquiesced to the new production method. Anyway, energy is like the air of the home planet and is a free public good.
Now Lightyear has devoted more than 70% of its production capacity to the production of new underworld cannons, and as hundreds of thousands of captives gradually become skilled workers, most of the work beasts and Lightyear core engineers can be eliminated from less important links. Once freed, production capacity can be further increased. In less than ten days, the new Hades Cannon will be ready.
Chu Jungui didn't mind Crassus bombing it again. Anyway, the Federation's production of antimatter would definitely not be faster than his production of the Hades Cannon.
Although there are currently hundreds of thousands of federal prisoners on hand, the most indispensable thing in the interstellar era is people. Chu Jungui estimated that the Federation would not be so willing to sit down and talk, so he had to find a way to give them some motivation.
The underworld cannon is the driving force.
The news that the Federation was defeated again spread faster than the speed of light, but compared with the other side of the vertical line, the scale of the N77 battle was much smaller. Therefore, the news of the war did not arouse much response among the ordinary people, but it caused a lot of turmoil among the upper class.
The lights were brightly lit in the Federal Parliament's War Committee. This was another emergency meeting. In fact, only 11 days have passed this month, but emergency meetings have been held 8 times.
On the high seats around the grand hall, many members showed signs of fatigue. Although most of them participated in the meeting in the form of virtual images, the parliament stipulated that no means of beautifying the image should be used, and they could only use their original appearance. Showing up is a sign of respect for the MPs who are physically present at the meeting.
In the center of the hall below, the chairman of the committee presiding over the meeting had a hoarse voice: "Now we move on to the seventh topic of this emergency meeting: the n77 star field war."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man stood up and said: "Before the discussion, I want to ask another question. This question has been raised for the third time. The question is, why should we fight with a neutral force? This war?”
