191: Chapter 191: Massive Troop Production! Massive Troop Production!

Perhaps his previous viewpoint was wrong; the Xia State shouldn't follow a path of complete annexation. Other weak cosmic civilizations don't necessarily have to face national destruction and racial extinction.

When there is no threat, these weak civilizations and races also have their uses.

The Canglan Empire and the Black Dragon Empire also only strictly guard their core areas, leaving the peripheral areas to some weak civilizations and races.

Even so, other weak civilizations and races still have no chance to surpass or overthrow the rule of the Canglan Empire or the Black Dragon Empire.

Blue Star is an outlier. Without Su Fan and the super god black technology system, Blue Star might be lucky to even reach a Level 1 Civilization without guidance.

After all, with hundreds of countries on one planet, internal strife alone consumes too much energy, and things are often overthrown and restarted, which is extremely unfriendly to technological development.

Su Fan is now very glad that Blue Star is not in the Alma Galaxy; otherwise, given the nature of the Alma People, Blue Star would already be a world of Sunflowers!

Sunflowers, the nickname Xia Feifei gave to the Alma People.

After two years of interstellar trade, Su Fan's influence points have reached a terrifying 13 trillion!

With so many influence points, mass production is inevitable. Su Fan directly began the rhythm of frantically exchanging for kongming mothership production lines!

One production line costs 99 billion. With 13 trillion influence points, a total of 131 production lines were exchanged!

Each production line, with sufficient materials and full production, can produce two kongming motherships a year.

With 131 production lines, 262 new kongming motherships can be added every year!

Adding the previous 20 production lines and the dozen or so production lines Su Fan exchanged later, the Xia State now has more than 160 production lines for class-c spaceships!

(There were errors in the number of production lines in some previous chapters, which have been corrected.)

Recently, the Xia State sent out more ships to continue interstellar trade.

The Milky Way is so large; trading with 100 intelligent life planets is just the beginning!

...

10 years passed quickly. During these 10 years, the Xia State sent out a large number of ships and personnel, dumping a massive amount of basic technology products onto other planets.

According to the Red Queen's statistics, a total of more than 5,000 eligible planetary civilizations have entered into trade cooperation with the Xia State.

More than 5,000 planets brought Su Fan another 800 trillion influence points!

800 trillion influence points can be exchanged for 8,080 kongming mothership production lines!

Of course, Su Fan didn't exchange for that many; he only exchanged for 5,000 production lines!

Now, the Xia State can produce ten thousand kongming motherships every year!

However, in reality, the Xia State had to stop production when the number of class-c spaceships reached 12,000.

Because the materials were insufficient!

Even though they had scavenged a huge amount of resources while the three neighboring countries were at war, and even though they had exchanged a large amount of materials, including many rare materials, for low-cost basic technology products during interstellar trade...

After manufacturing so many class-c spaceships, the Xia State's precious materials were still exhausted!

But it didn't matter; if the materials were gone, they could be stolen!

...

The year 2230.

The Xia State assembled all its forces, and 12,000 ships bore down on the Canglan Empire!

At this time, the Canglan Empire and the Black Dragon Empire, under pressure from the Alma Federation, had reached a cooperation to jointly resist the Alma Federation's fleet of ships.

Due to their location, unless the Alma Federation went the long way around to attack the northern border of the Canglan Empire, the Canglan Empire's position was relatively safe.

But there's a good saying: "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

The Canglan Empire has existed for so long; it's impossible for them not to understand the stakes.

Therefore, they must send troops to reinforce the northeastern border of the Black Dragon Empire.

Of course, although they sent reinforcements, they couldn't send all their ships.

The Canglan Empire sent two-thirds of the empire's ships to support the Black Dragon Empire.

After more than a hundred years of cosmic war, the entire Canglan Empire only had more than 30,000 class-c spaceships left.

More than a hundred years ago, they had 110,000 class-c spaceships; now, nearly 80% had been destroyed.

The Black Dragon Empire was even worse; it once had 180,000 class-c spaceships, but now only more than 20,000 remained!

Meanwhile, the Alma Federation, because it had been slacking off and hiding its strength during these years of war, still had 50,000 class-c spaceships remaining.

The Xia State's 12,000 ships were divided into twelve Legions, with 1,000 ships in each Legion.

Among them, the First to Tenth Legions were the main combat Legions, the Eleventh Legion was the reconnaissance Legion, and the Twelfth Legion was the logistics Legion.

Why set up a logistics Legion? The reason was simple.

War is about seizing resources. In modern interstellar warfare, it's impossible for a planet to belong to you just because you occupied it, because interstellar warfare isn't just about snatching territory back and forth.

Even if the enemy is temporarily driven away, as long as they still have ships, they will make a comeback; snatching territory is useless.

To win an interstellar war, you must blow up all the enemy's ships and mechas capable of resisting, making it impossible for them to ever recover!

The role of the logistics Legion is to transport precious resources back to the Xia State if they are encountered during the combat process.

I don't care about territory, but I must take the resources!

...

In the First Legion, Su Fan and the Great Elder were analyzing tactics while chatting and laughing.

Now that they had 12,000 ships, they weren't afraid of any empire at all!

"Ahead is the boundary of the Canglan Empire's Third Ring. Our Xia State's army has finally set foot here!" Su Fan sighed with emotion.

"Yes! It's been over 100 years! Back then, one of our kongming motherships was chased for many days by the Canglan Empire like a rat. That feeling was really unpleasant," the Great Elder also sighed.

"Now we've stood up!" Zhao Jianguo said with a smile from the side.

"With 12,000 class-c spaceships, and each ship capable of taking on multiple enemies, let's not talk about tactics. Let's just steamroll the Canglan Empire!" Xia Feifei's words were simple and crude, but very sensible.

Don't forget, the detection and attack range of the kongming mothership is twice that of the Canglan Empire's ships!

"It's better to proceed step by step," Su Fan shook his head. "Pride goes before a fall; we can't ruin this good hand of cards."

"Alright," Xia Feifei sighed.

"There are two tactics now." Su Fan pointed to the simulated sand table in front of him.

This was a star map projected via 3D projection.

"The first tactic is to advance slowly."

"We start from the Third Ring, clearing out the Canglan Empire's stationed fleets step by step, then continue to advance to the Second Ring and clear out the stationed fleets there."

"Finally, we will join forces at the Canglan Imperial Star and wipe out the Canglan Empire in one fell swoop!"

Su Fan explained the first tactic through the 3D star map and the real-time simulated attack animation by the Red Queen.

"The second tactic is to strike directly at the core!"

"We charge directly to the Canglan Imperial Star, wipe out the effective forces of their Imperial Star first, and then clear out the remaining forces."

"Let's discuss which tactic is better," Su Fan said with a smile.
