Chapter 846 Ship Style
Menso Atas heard the words of the Lord of the Courtyard, a chill in his heart for no reason.
This chill did not come from Xia Xiu's tone, nor was it a simple pressure, but a very profound knock.
He suddenly had a premonition.
What the Lord of the Courtyard said was not only about Vlakis and the foreigners of Gith, but also about using this to hit some Gith philosophers with ulterior motives, and even the internal movements of the philosophers' parliament.
Did he really just say what he said to Vlakis simply?
Mensuo's fingers tightened slightly and his eyes flashed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset, suppressed those too many speculations, and maintained his usual calmness and calmness.
"We will continue to do something about the Gith foreign war."
Xia Xiu's voice made Mensuo come back from his thoughts. He raised his head and saw that the lord of the courtyard had refocused the situation of the battle. "You said before that Vlakis brought the fleet back to the rescue and entered the strategic contraction stage, right?"
Mensuo nodded slightly, sorted out his thoughts, suppressed his thoughts, and replied smoothly: "Yes, most of the Gith foreign fleets have withdrawn from their capital - Tunaras." "They set up a large number of blockade lines on the border and closed the hyperspace channel constructed by multiple etheric traction engines to prevent foreign enemies from invading." Xia Xiu gently stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.
"In other words, Vlakis now intends to pull the entire Tunaras to implement the 'fortress strategy'?"
"She is ready to concentrate her troops to defend the key fortress in order to persist or delay the enemy for a long time?"
He paused, his lips curled up slightly, and he sneered:
"Sure..."
"The guys behind Vlakis must have promised her a lot of benefits."
"As long as she can hold the courtyard and let the courtyard fall into the long-term war with the foreigners of Gith, they will be willing to provide assistance to the foreigners of Gith."
Mensuo's brows frowned slightly, and he understood what Xia Xiu meant.
The forces hidden behind the scenes are unwilling to take action themselves, but they hope to use the hands of the foreigners of Gis to consume the power of the courtyard and put the courtyard in a protracted war.
They will not directly intervene in the war, but will transfer resources, provide technology, provide certain military support, and even manipulate public opinion to shape the situation.
But the question is - are these aids really free?
Xia Xiu smiled, shook her head, her tone with a hint of irony:
"However, aid is not that easy to get."
He looked slightly cold, and his tone said meaningfully-
"Some countries and people always feel that they can turn the tables with assistance..."
"In the end, they just signed a bunch of mineral agreements that were 'destroying'."
"When they find that they have been completely 'sold'..."
"
"It's too late."
Menso Atas's eyes slightly froze. He took over the conversation and asked in a low and solemn tone:
"So, what are you going to do?"
Xia Xiu raised her lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Behind Vlakis, there is an invisible hand pushing, and I naturally have allies."
"Do they want to fight the courtyard?"
"Then I will accompany them to 'play hard'."
The Lord of the courtyard's voice was slow, but it had an unconcealed edge.
Mensuo did not speak, but he could feel a hint of...interested fighting spirit in the tone of the Lord of the Courtyard.
"I guess Vlakis should have a lot of good things in his hands. These things should be specially used to deal with the courtyard and me."
Xia Xiu's fingers gently tapped the table, and continued calmly: "And at the extraordinary level, the only thing that can quickly eliminate the barriers to stages - abnormality."
Men Suo's eyes flashed slightly.
"Abnormal..."
He knew that the abnormality in the humans of Terra was equivalent to the general term for artifacts, laws, domain creations in the eyes of the heavens and all realms.
Xia Xiu continued: "I'm quite curious about what abnormalities Vlakis has in his hands.
The next war is my main battlefield, but since the war is dominated by me, the son of the courtyard and the fleet of your philosophers must play an auxiliary role."
I need you to assist the son of the courtyard and take back the hub that the foreigners gave up. ”
He raised his eyes and looked at the door rope and asked directly:
"How many of the hundreds of hubs that Vlakis gave up were colonial and livable hubs?"
When Menso Atas heard this, he lowered his head slightly and began to recall the information reported by his front-line troops.
Although the Gith philosophers have been huddling in the Chaos Sea under the oppression of the Gith foreigners, their great psychic masters have been paying attention to the every move of the Gith foreigners.
Although these large psychic masters have few people, they have extremely strong single combat capabilities.
If they are converted to combat power, they can probably do one-on-three when facing the son of the I-Phase Courtyard who has only completed the Holy Forging once.
Of course, the situation is completely different when facing the son of the top courtyard, including the Gray Knight.
But no matter what, their powerful psychic power allowed them to follow the military trajectory of the Gith foreigners for a long time and continuously synchronize intelligence with the parliament.
It is precisely because of this that the GIS Philosopher Council can have such detailed information.
One of the key purpose of this meeting with the Lord of the Courtyard is to conduct an "information exchange."
Mensuo retracted his thoughts, raised his head, and replied in a solemn tone:
"According to the information we have, only seven of these hundreds of hubs are colonized hubs."
"Six of them are small hubs and one is medium hub."
At this point, his tone paused slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"However, before retreating, the Gis foreigners had already carried out orbital bombing on key areas of these hubs."
"They used psychic ships to clean up the urban agglomerations on the hubs, and most of the non-Gis foreign residents had been slaughtered."
"At the same time, the infrastructure inside the hub has also been severely destroyed."
"In other words, although these hubs are still colonized in theory, they need long-term repair and reconstruction."
"Sure..."
Xia Xiu leaned on the back of the chair, slowly tapping the tabletop with a little sigh, and it seemed that he was not surprised by the behavior of the foreigners of Gith.
The foreigners of Gith are worthy of being a race called the "Little Kingdom of Heaven" in their thoughts. Although their hardware and strength are far inferior to those of heaven, they have learned well in their thoughts.
Xia Xiu narrowed his golden pupils slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This method of "purifying aliens" is exactly the same as the way in heaven.
He looked at Speaker Mensuo with a sad face and knew that the philosopher's thoughts were not allowed to have the option of "purification".
The philosophers of Gith never agreed with the practice of "purification".
Although they are both of the Gith race, they are completely different from the Gith foreigners. The philosophers advocate psychic energy, wisdom, and order rather than brutal genocide.
What the Gis foreigners did not only made their hands covered with blood from countless hubs, but also made the Gis philosophers suffer from prejudice from other races again and again.
They were all regarded as similar people to the Gith foreigners.
Xia Xiu noticed his expression change.
So, he paused for a moment and nodded slightly to show his silence. ——But that’s all.
There is no right or wrong in war. The courtyard will not feel pity for the Gis foreigners because of their actions. But since the Gis philosophers choose to stand on the side of the courtyard, their position can be "appropriately" respected.
Soon, Xia Xiu calmed down for a moment of solemnity and returned to his usual calmness.
"Okay, let's continue to talk about the main things."
"The resource hubs abandoned by the foreigners of Gis will take over the courtyard in accordance with the agreement."
"Replace all equipment of the mining stations and research stations with the courtyard."
"According to our previous agreement, half of the research materials in the courtyard are shared with you guis philosophers."
Xia Xiu's tone was stable and unquestionable.
The philosophers of Gith are willing to seek refuge in the courtyard, which is an exchange of interests.
And he is willing to give reasonable returns.
Mensuo nodded without objection.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"As for those colonial hubs..."
Xia Xiu continued:
"Let the advance scientific research team in the courtyard conduct research and repairs, determine the stability of these hubs, and then consider immigration and colonial construction later."
After dealing with the allocation of resource hubs, Xia Xiu finally talked about the most critical issue - war preparation.
"Next, I want to ask."
"How much fleet support can you gis philosophers provide in the upcoming 'Tunaras Battle'?"
This is the real concern of the courtyard.
The Gith philosophers were one of the most important allies of the Courtyard in the Gith foreign war, and their fleet investment will directly affect the pace of advancement of the entire battle situation.
Men Suo pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"We are different from the foreigners of Gith."
"We are never strong enough to be militant and are not keen on endless expansion."
"The size of our fleet has always been around 30 to 40 ships, and we will not build warships like the foreigners of Gith."
Xia Xiu nodded gently.
This is in line with his expectations. In his eyes, these philosophers are a little... not bad.
So, he never expected them to fight.
Speaker Mensuo, who didn't know that the lord of the courtyard was whispering the philosopher in his heart, continued: "If we want to officially enter the war, we can dispatch 30 ships."
"Most of these ships are 'psychic frigates' and 'psychic light ships'."
"They are not equipped with large-caliber artillery guns, and the weapon systems on the ships mainly rely on 'psychic cannons' driven by the astral world."
"Our warships are more suitable for guerrilla warfare than head-on battles."
"As for the fleet's flagship and commander..."
Menso paused slightly, then smiled:
"You should have seen it."
"The fleet's flagship is the floating city where you visited before in Depth 5, and the person who commanded the flagship was the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Psychic Expeditionary Fleet of the Githphilosopher, Villoch Zal."
When Xia Xiu heard this, he nodded slightly, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.
He did see Villoch Zal, the commander of the Seventh Psychic Fleet, and also their flagships.
It was a ship with a very astral psychic style - it looked like the Zeppelin in the world.
In the ether, the rules of fluid mechanics and present physics are distorted, so the design styles of ships are mostly... abstract and peculiar.
It can even be said that the entire ship design that can navigate in the ether has a more or less scent of "physics no longer exists".
Most of the ships in the Kingdom of Heaven are in Gothic architectural style, with solemn statues and churches on the hull, and moving temples floating in the starry sky.
The ships of the Edishi Federation, various aircraft carriers on the hull, aircraft soul-like transformation, and AI autonomous system.
—[Mi Ge clan] ships are pure biological aircraft. The ship shells will squirm, the hatch will open their mouths, and even the weapons are energy symbiotes. They don’t look like warships in the normal sense.
The ships of the Gith philosophers were all kinds of Zeppelin airships, suspended in the star world, ethereal and mysterious.
In contrast...
The ships of the Gith foreigners seem the most "honest".
Their ships have no exaggerated buildings, no surreal structures that violate physical common sense. The hull is designed in a regular, sturdy and clear function, like a down-to-earth shipbuilding technology.
In the ship design of the heavens and all worlds, the ships of the Gis foreigners are like "honest people", while ships of other forces have basically embarked on the path of "abstract art school".
At present, the number of ships in the courtyard is worrying.
To be precise, the Courtyard Navy has not yet formed a complete fleet organization.
The only ship that can be used at present is the [Sword of Glory Class Heavy Cruiser].
Of course... Although it is a "cruiser" in name, Xia Xiu could only smile at this three-kilometer behemoth.
This thing is bigger, harder, and stronger than most battleships, and its firepower system is even more exaggerated than ordinary main battleships.
The only problem is...it's really too big.
Xia Xiu's current fleet is only one cruiser. To put it bluntly, the entire courtyard navy was a large main battle tank rushing around the battlefield, and the other soldiers had not yet been built.
To build a real fleet, you must replenish supporting ships as soon as possible.
It just so happened that thirteen Gith foreign ships were seized in the Battle of Kresh, which can be used for transformation.
As for the other ships, they are either damaged in war, or are scarred and lost their repair value, and only these sixteen ships can be recycled.
Xia Xiu thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Thanks to the "honest" ship design of the Gis foreigners, there are still many magical modifications.
What he had to do was transform these "honest" ships into standard heavenly warships and dye them into the color of the courtyard.
The renovation plan is also very simple.
The first step is to find Boss Eden to ask for the ship transformation drawings.
Eden's database stores a large number of design plans for the standard warships in the Heavenly Kingdom. Just adapt it to make these ships a part of the courtyard navy.
The second step is to use [Civilization Continuation] to compile the STC template.
STC (standard template structure) is one of the core technologies of the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven. It can standardize the technological templates of different civilizations and make ship transformation extremely efficient.
The third step is to start the STC template and pinch the ship!
Enhance the hull structure and optimize defense.
Extend the hull, install more weapon mount points, and expand firepower configuration.
Add a fortress-like structure on the ship to make it conform to the aesthetics of the heavenly ships.
Then, with a bang, the ship was modified.
