After receiving Xiao Yu’s early warning ssage, a certain degree of commotion almost imdiately appeared on the Star of Light. But this commotion quickly cald down. Everyone suddenly realized that even the official fleet of the Predator Civilizations had been defeated by the Divine Ark Civilization, so what was there to fear from this bit of remnant force of the Predator Civilizations?
This was the prevailing ntality of the citizens of the Purple Civilization at this mont. Xiao Yu’s plan was proceeding smoothly. After these three years, the distrust and suspicion deep in the hearts of the Purple Civilization’s citizens toward the Divine Ark Civilization had completely vanished. When facing a powerful enemy, the first thing they thought of was not their own civilization’s ard forces, but the powerful Divine Ark Civilization.
Xiao Yu even specially allowed so war correspondents from within the Purple Civilization to board warships and arrive at the edge of the battlefield to report in detail on this war. Thus, the citizens of the Purple Civilization saw such scenes.
“Hello to all our viewers. I am XX, a war correspondent from XX TV. I am now reporting to you from the battlefield beyond the orbit of Planet Two. Mm, everyone please look. Those ugly-looking ships are the hateful fleet of the Predator Civilizations. They are trying to break through the Divine Ark Civilization’s defensive line and reach the inner star system.”
In the footage captured by the cara equipnt, there were flashes everywhere, shells flying, and ships constantly exploding and breaking apart. The fighting was intense. Although they had long since witnessed the ferocity of the Divine Ark Civilization and knew that there would certainly be no suspense in this war, the citizens of the Purple Civilization still had their hearts in their throats.
“This is a spacecraft dynamics expert whom we invited especially. He will now give us a comparison of the strength of the two fleets…”
“Mm, curvature flight cannot be carried out within the inner star system. It seems that even a Level 5 Civilization cannot break this law. So now on the battlefield, both sides are waging war with conventional navigation thods. But even in conventional navigation there are higher and lower levels. As everyone can see, the Divine Ark Civilization’s warships have a clearly higher conventional navigation speed than the Predator Civilizations’ ships. This is a great advantage.”
“There is a set of data I can share. On the battlefield, the Divine Ark Civilization’s warships have an average speed of nearly twenty thousand kiloters per second, while the Predator Civilizations’ warships have an average speed of only about sixteen thousand kiloters. Do not underestimate this speed. You should know that on the battlefield ships cannot accelerate steadily. The situation changes in an instant, and the ti available for a warship to accelerate is usually very short. To reach this speed in such a short ti is already very remarkable. At the sa ti, I can also tell you another number, which is the average speed of our Purple Civilization’s warships on the battlefield.”
The expert paused, then continued, “The average speed of our Purple Civilization’s warships on the battlefield is about seven thousand kiloters per second. From this it can be seen how enormous the gap is between our Purple Civilization and the Divine Ark Civilization. It is foreseeable that without the Divine Ark Civilization helping us resist the enemy, all of our Purple Civilization’s warships would be unable to stop these Predator Civilizations’ fleets that have co to invade our star system…”
“Oh no.” The expert suddenly cried out, his voice growing anxious. “Everyone look, that is a large ship of the Divine Ark Civilization. It is roughly equivalent to the ‘Ivan’ class warship in our civilization. Under the attack of dozens of Predator Civilizations’ ships it has been destroyed. My heavens, these hateful Predator Civilizations. May the fallen warriors of the Divine Ark Civilization rest in peace.”
The expert narrated the situation on the battlefield, his voice sowhat low.
The so-called ‘Ivan’ class warship of the Purple Civilization was Xiao Yu’s City-Class spaceship. A single City-Class spaceship required at least several thousand well-trained soldiers to operate. Xiao Yu naturally could not bear such waste by having it destroyed in an exercise. The City-Class ship that was destroyed was rely a hollow shell ship manufactured by Xiao Yu to enhance the sound and visual effects.
“Mm, good, wonderful.” The expert’s voice suddenly grew excited again. “Everyone look, that Predator Civilizations’ ‘Kiev’ class warship has been destroyed by the Divine Ark Civilization’s warships.”
The so-called ‘Kiev’ class warship was a Province-Class spaceship within Xiao Yu’s fleet. Like the destroyed City-Class ship, this ship was also only a hollow shell.
After all, this was just a military exercise. Although there were casualty quotas in the exercise, Xiao Yu clearly could not possibly pay such a price for an exercise. Do not be fooled by the fierce fighting on the battlefield. It was all fake. With Xiao Yu’s perfect control, he could easily conceal the truth from the warriors of the biological army, allow them to exert their full strength to achieve the purpose of training troops, and at the sa ti minimize losses.
The citizens of the Purple Civilization stayed on the Star of Light, glued to various dia, and their feelings changed continually with the expert’s narration, tense one mont and elated the next.
After blasting apart hollow shell ships numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the Predator Civilizations’ fleet controlled by Xiao Yu finally retreated and disappeared from the sight of the Purple Civilization’s people. Disappearing together with those ships was the ‘pursuit fleet’ that Xiao Yu had sent out. The war was won. When Xiao Yu announced this news to the citizens of the Purple Civilization, the Star of Light was imdiately covered by cheers.
Countless citizens were moved to tears, and so even prostrated themselves on the ground to pay devout homage toward the unseen Divine Ark Civilization ships in the sky. All kinds of grand celebration banquets began to be held. Every city was bright with lights that night, and the carnival lasted all day and all night.
At this ti, however, Xiao Yu was in the highest conference room aboard the ship the Asia, discussing with the mbers of the Military Committee the problems exposed during this exercise.
“This exercise was successful overall. The warriors risked their lives and completed the blocking mission very excellently. But in the process there were also many tactical mistakes. For example, this Province-Class ship. If I had not shown rcy, I would have destroyed it long ago. There are many similar cases. This exposes the fact that so of our mid and senior captains and officers still suffer from insufficient strategic level and insufficient command ability. This must be strengthened through training as quickly as possible.” Xiao Yu laid out a large batch of war data and said to the mbers of the Military Committee.
“Mm, that is indeed the case. It cos down to too few opportunities for actual combat. Up to now, the biological army has experienced only two real battles in total. In my view, such military exercises should be held more often in the future.” A mber of the Military Committee said.
“Very well. The second military exercise will be held one month from now.” Xiao Yu announced this decision.
After a short rest, the warriors and captains of the biological army imdiately entered intense training. The Military Committee summarized many of the problems exposed in this exercise. Aiming at these issues, they carried out targeted training for officers and soldiers at all levels. While the biological army was in tense training, Xiao Yu once again issued a ssage to the Purple Civilization.
“Regrettably, the pursuit fleet dispatched by our Divine Ark Civilization did not manage to completely eliminate the remnant forces of the Predator Civilizations. We captured so intelligent beings of the Predator Civilizations, and through interrogation of these prisoners we obtained a shocking piece of information. That is, this attack was only a harassnt operation. In this boundless Milky Way, the Predator Civilizations still conceal a military force not inferior to our Divine Ark Civilization. They are brewing a general offensive. But please rest assured, citizens of the Purple Civilization. Any existence that dares to invade the Purple Civilization is an enemy of our Divine Ark Civilization.”
Xiao Yu’s ssage allowed the citizens of the Purple Civilization to feel sowhat reassured, but only for a very short period. Many people thought of another problem.
They rembered very clearly that the Divine Ark Civilization had once said they would stay in this star system for only three years to rest and would leave after three years.
The first attack by the Predator Civilizations was defeated by the Divine Ark Civilization. The second harassnt operation was also a victory for the Divine Ark Civilization. Then, after the Divine Ark Civilization leaves, what about the third ti the Predator Civilizations co to attack? At that ti, who will co to help them resist these ferocious and vicious enemies?
Unease and fear began to fernt. Worries about the future completely overshadowed the joy of this victory. Innocent scientists bore the brunt of the public’s anger. These scientists, whom they had greatly respected in past days, in this mont beca in their mouths the pri culprits obstructing the technological progress of the Purple Civilization.
As one citizen of the Purple Civilization put it, “Our civilization invests such enormous money and materials into scientific research every year, but what have these rice buckets returned to our civilization? Warships with curvature flight speeds of only a re seven tis the speed of light? Or those laughable energy cannons that look like toys? What aning is there for these so-called scientists to exist in our civilization at all?”
When many people hold the sa idea, that idea becos a trend. Within this trend, the innocent scientists of the Purple Civilization ca under trendous pressure. Within this trend, so other derivative schools of thought began to appear. Countless people began to complain, “Why can our Purple Civilization not be as strong as the Divine Ark Civilization? Why must we endure the bitter fruit brought on by technological backwardness? Most importantly, why are we not mbers of the Divine Ark Civilization?”
“Why is this?” Countless citizens of the Purple Civilization began to ask themselves this question in their hearts.
