Chapter 297 Abandoned a habitable planet?
Just as Ralph was about to respond, a golden, soft, and holy radiance suddenly emerged.
A pair of huge golden halos stretched out from behind the "King".
Above its head, the space distorted and turned into a purple-red vortex.
I saw the light wings waving, and the "king" flew into the sky, rushing into the crack of the subspace.
With the disappearance of the "King", the subspace cracks also collapsed rapidly and disappeared.
……
S-01931 star system.
In the "Wings of Liberty" space.
In the 13-person council room...
"People are chosen by you, Councilor, you must bear the responsibility for failure..."
"If failure is not punished, then who cares about the property of the Federation in the future, who cares about expensive clones?"
Sitting upright on the main seat, Erro narrowed his eyes slightly, expressionless.
He had just received the news of the defeat, and the 12 people hurriedly held a meeting.
As the chairman of the parliament, the minority obeys the majority, so he can't delay the meeting even if he wants to.
Erro said blankly: "Even if you have to take responsibility, it will be after the war."
"Why, you still want to protect him? He must be responsible for this failure. Let someone else serve as the fleet commander. I already have a candidate."
"Hmph, you are quick-talking, and I have someone to choose. Should I listen to you or mine?"
"It's a big taboo to change the battlefield, and this failure is not necessarily the fault of Captain Rex's commander."
"Wrong and right are not important, what matters is the result of defeat."
A defeat plunged lawmakers into a row.
Fighting for their respective interests, fighting for the new commander of the fleet.
"Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me..."
In the end, it was Erro who ended the quarrel between the MPs.
After all, he is the chairman of the parliament, after all, he is the elder who established the "Freedom and Democracy Federation".
Members of Parliament still have to give some thin noodles.
Seeing that the meeting room became quiet, Erro said solemnly: "I think you all know the process of this defeat, but whoever it is, may not be able to do better than the commander of the Rex Fleet in such an environment." Even better, the environment of the S-01919 star system is indeed not suitable for drone swarm operations, and for the unknown "Warhammer" forces, the asteroid clusters all over the star system are a natural barrier, and it is difficult for us to break through."
"President, what do you mean? We've put in so much effort, you won't tell me to give up, will you?"
"Give up? Now is not the time to give up, I absolutely will not agree."
"I don't believe there are things that the "Freedom and Democratic Federation" can't get, spend it with them, and see who can spend more..."
Slightly waving his hands, Erro said indifferently: "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me."
The crowd fell silent again.
Erro said again: "S-01919 star system is a good place, we naturally can't give up, since we can't rush in, then lure them out, we can send "Charger class" mining ships on the edge of the star system to mine , if they can bear it, then we will put aside the dispute and develop together, if they cannot bear it, then it is in our arms, in the empty universe outside, the drone swarm can play a greater advantage."
Speaking of this, Erro paused slightly, and continued: "Although a livable planet is very important, it is not indispensable. A large ecological space station can also replace a livable planet, and rare minerals are the most important thing. "
Can the ecological space replace the habitable planet?
All of you here know the importance of a habitable planet.
But they also know that now is indeed not the time to think about a livable planet.
Since the chairman of the council has given the step down, they naturally have to step down wisely.
"I think it is feasible. With trade currency, technology can be unlocked faster. With more advanced technology, there will be more powerful warships. With stronger warships, the "Freedom and Democracy Federation" can go farther invincible. "
"After this large-scale ship-to-ship battle, the disadvantages of the UAV route have also emerged. Facing giant ships, it is difficult for UAV groups to completely destroy the enemy ship. They can only paralyze the enemy ship. If it fails, the opponent has almost no loss, and all it needs is time to repair."
"This is indeed a problem. I also discovered this. Let's develop in a two-line way. Drones are the mainstay, and large ships and cannons are supplemented. There is no anti-front line. Once the drone-carrying ship is approached by the enemy, it will will suffer catastrophe.”
The war that took place in the S-01919 star system reminded the 13 members of parliament.
In future interstellar wars, drones alone will not work, and the limitations are too great.
The legislators can think of this, and so can Erro.
He wanted to raise this question, but was first spoken out by the members of parliament.
Elro nodded and said: "Then develop the railgun route, long-range bombardment, which can be used as the first line of defense for the drone-carrying ship."
"I agree, let's do it this way, unlock the cruiser technology as soon as possible, have a stronger drone carrier ship, and a stronger meat shield cannon cruiser."
"This requires trade coins, a lot of trade coins, we need the rare resources in the S-01919 star system."
"It's good to set aside disputes and develop together, we need a buffer period."
"If necessary, you can show weakness first and stabilize the opponent..."
……
S-01919 star system.
The starry sky is vast, cold, dark and dead.
In an empty starry sky, a huge fleet is hovering quietly.
All "Nerus-class" industrial ships and "Charger-class" mining ships.
A total of 37 ships, 21 industrial ships, 16 mining ships.
Not far from the starry sky ahead, a battleship can be seen flying out of the asteroid group from time to time.
At this time, in an "Astrology Star" destroyer outside the asteroid group...
Rex breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news from the 13-member council.
He is still the commander of the fleet, and the 13-member council did not punish him.
And the order issued by the 13-member council caused a trace of doubt to flash in Rex's eyes.
Without an order to attack, the 13-member council asked him to mine extensively at the edge of the star system to obtain rare minerals.
Did the 13-member council give up the habitable planet?
It is a negative approach to shelve disputes and jointly develop.
The "Warhammer" forces will find it here soon.
Will they watch the "Freedom and Democracy Federation" acquire resources in the S-01919 star system?
Indeed, in the open space, it is beneficial for UAV swarm operations.
But without the addition of new forces, can the current fleet alone defeat the enemy?
Rex was very skeptical about this.
"The ships obeyed the order, the battle plan has been changed, the advance fleet has become an escort fleet, and all mining barges immediately set off to collect rare minerals from the asteroid group, be careful not to go too deep."
"The escort fleet immediately dispatched drones to escort and cruise within a radius of [-] kilometers of the mining resource point. If an enemy fleet is found, it should be evacuated first and not to fight."
"The industrial ship is waiting outside the asteroid group, waiting for the shipment of ore powder..."
