Chapter 222 Room for Resistance
When the crisis comes, it has become a normal thing for each civilization to open borders to each other.
When "Galactic Focus: Unexpected Enemy" was proposed by the Fire Alliance, "open borders for member civilizations" was one of the accompanying requirements of the Focus proposal.
After this proposal is passed, all civilizations will nominally share borders with each other, and at least the inspection procedures for spacecraft transit will no longer be so strict.
The most important purpose is to improve the efficiency of star gate use. Galactic civilizations usually use star gates as "pseudo-megastructures" when conducting long-distance inter-galactic voyages.
It does not require high technology and resources for its construction. Even civilizations like the Star Alliance can build star gates as soon as they ascend to the sky. Many researchers do not classify star gates as megastructures.
However, star gates have played an important role in strengthening the connections between galactic civilizations. Basically, every civilization will more or less build star gates in the pass galaxies within its territory after establishing a foothold in the interstellar world.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This principle also applies to the interstellar world.
Objectively speaking, the Star Gate is indeed one of the important foundations for the formation of this interstellar society.
In the past, in order to prevent infiltrators or stowaways from entering, fleets and space stations would be on duty near the star gate. Entrants needed to go through a series of inspections and have their spacecraft tagged with electronic tags before they could continue to sail within civilized territory.
"——Sixth Guerrilla Squadron! An 'unexpected enemy' fleet has left the main battlefield and is coming towards your direction! Please flee as soon as possible after receiving it!"
As one of the few civilizations in the galaxy that "completely defeated a civilization", they sadly discovered that they themselves were completely unable to perform decently in this galactic crisis.
However, after the "Galaxy Focus" was determined, this requirement was undoubtedly weakened a lot, and the complex procedures in the past were simplified, making the stargate network linkage more frequent.
However, the distance between planets seems so long at this moment, and the journey that was once fleeting has now become the end of destiny.
It's not that they don't want to reduce the number of battleships used, but only this number of battleships can create a firepower network that the "unexpected enemy" carrier-based aircraft cannot avoid.
The main gun beams containing terrifying energy came one after another, and the resulting firepower tore apart the "unexpected enemy" warships that came here in an instant.
The "unexpected enemy" battleships chasing them were in the category of "destroyers" and had no chance of fighting battleships at long range.
But the enemy came so quickly, and not long after the emergency notification was received, a special space fluctuation was detected by them in this galaxy.
They looked about the same size as the destroyer led by the squad leader, roughly in the shape of a triangular pyramid. The moment they appeared, they pounced on the destroyer fleet like hounds that had smelled prey.
It was something they had never imagined that thousands of battles between interstellar fleets could occur in a short period of time, but now just two "civilizations in the galaxy" have caused such a situation.
After the crisis was resolved, the squad leader was just about to thank the "Guardian" fleet that came to the rescue, when he saw a familiar signal coming from that fleet.
However, the desire to survive would not be extinguished easily. Even if the engine was overloaded and the spacecraft was fully powered, he did not give up sailing on the hyperspace channel.
This made the galactic civilizations once again realize their own insignificance, and at the same time they also saw the true horror of this "natural disaster".
But just when he was about to inject stimulant drugs again to cheer him up, he suddenly received an emergency notification from the headquarters, and it was only for him.
As far as he knew, those slaves could work continuously for a week and only need four hours of sleep.
He hasn't slept a wink for half a month. In his civilization, in order to maintain high-intensity and protracted battles in space, basically every space combatant is equipped with corresponding stimulant drugs and fatigue-relieving drugs.
Although this method was obtained by extending his life span, he was exhausted and now felt that he still wanted to have a good sleep even if his life span was shortened.
At this moment, he envied those low-level slaves who had undergone specialized genetic modification as never before.
"... After determining the location, just launch a space strike. Hiding on the gas giant planet is the wrong choice..."
Such an opportunity suitable for inserting infiltrators made the decision-makers subconsciously take advantage of it. Even if the immediate priority was a natural disaster crisis, planning for the future was something they were doing subconsciously all the time.
Not long after, another fleet arrived here and began to scan the entire gas giant planet in space.
Although this behavior is to facilitate each civilization to quickly mobilize materials and fleets, not all civilizations are aboveboard at this stage.
Although he was able to maintain his combat capabilities to a certain extent, he was also very tired after such a long period of time.
But at least when facing an "unexpected enemy", most civilizations will show the same hatred.
The iron-blooded fleet that they were so proud of had no room for resistance when faced with an "unexpected enemy". Even a carrier-based aircraft would require a fleet dozens of times its size to be captured.
More than 95% of the battles were fought between "guardians" and "unexpected enemies." Galactic civilizations finally saw for the first time what a war between "super civilizations" was like in a real sense.
A strange-looking geometric battleship suddenly appeared in the galaxy, followed by one after another.
The captain of this destroyer squadron tiredly arranged the order, and then steeled himself to read the report on the main battlefield.
A fighter plane with a strange shape was fleeing rapidly in the starry sky. After passing through an asteroid belt, it fell directly into the atmosphere of a gas giant planet.
The "Star Gate", which is extremely important to galactic civilization, is the focus of the "unexpected enemy".
However, the next moment, another fleet suddenly appeared here. The appearance of the black ship and the shield emitting purple light showed the origin of this fleet.
This is a fleet from Segurius' Revenge Crusade, with a total of twenty-four destroyers, just to chase an "unexpected enemy" carrier-based aircraft that broke away from the main battlefield.
At this time, nearly half a year has passed since the "unexpected enemy" officially occurred, and the Milky Way has also experienced thousands of "interstellar battles" of various sizes.
This overwhelming result did not surprise the captain of the destroyer squadron. During the time when he fought side by side with the "Guardian" against the "unexpected enemy", he could recognize that most of the battleships in this fleet were at least as good as the "battleship"
a level.
Seeing that it was too late to escape, the team leader became fierce and wanted to lead the team to fight to the death with the "unexpected enemy".
As luck would have it, the location where they appeared was not far from the destroyer fleet. As the stars twinkled, they were about to catch up with their "prey".
The tired spirit was instantly invigorated because the danger was reduced. The team leader decisively gave up the idea of continuing to search for the "unexpected enemy" carrier-based aircraft, and led the team to quickly approach the hyperspace channel in the galaxy.
He knew very well that this was an "unexpected enemy" using the unknown "teleportation" technology. In a few minutes, the fleet he led would be torn to pieces.
That is their civilization's special "fleet logo", which means that this fleet actually belongs to his civilization.
This unbelievable situation made the team leader stunned for a while, and he didn't understand how his civilization suddenly had such a powerful fleet.
The next moment, he received a message from the headquarters:
"——It seems that we have caught up. This is the fleet we 'borrowed' from the 'Guardian'..."
"We finally managed to free up enough positions in the command system to meet the needs of operating this fleet. We probably won't have to be so aggrieved on the battlefield in the future..."
