Chapter 489: Tragic Victory
Although compared to this unknown civilization, the casualties on the players' side were very heavy.
It just so happened that after a lot of twists and turns, the players also figured out the general approach of the other party.
To put it simply, players only need to use the Thunder Beast as the core, assist the Thunder Beast and let the Thunder Beast attack the enemy's warships, then the battleships will be cleared very quickly.
In order to ensure the status of the Thunder Beast, players spontaneously formed a defensive array to protect the Thunder Beast from damage, so that the Thunder Beast could attack those enemies with peace of mind.
It is also because of this wave of players operating the enemy's warships that they are also reducing at an extremely fast speed. In this way, the original attack units play various auxiliary roles on the battlefield, and some of them are responsible for delaying. Battleships, some were responsible for fending off attacks.
The high-level Corruptors, the Cyclops, and some of the main attack units were attacking frantically under the cover of everyone, while some low-level units acted as cannon fodder and human shields.
This time, the players' thinking was very clear. In order to ensure victory in this battle, they could only choose the path of maintaining high-end combat power.
As long as the combat units can cause effective damage to the enemy in a short period of time, the players are desperately trying to save them, because these units have output while they are alive.
In this way, as time goes by, although the players suffered heavy losses in the low-level units, fortunately, the losses in the high-level units were within the acceptable range, and the number of this unknown civilization gradually decreased under the attacks of the players. Until finally they were all wiped out by the players.
With the enemies eliminated, players can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In this wave of battle, players lost nearly 120,000 troops, and the enemy lost 20,000, a 16-fold difference.
But for the players, it is all worth it, because through this battle, the players also know that they have the ability to pvp with this civilization.
As long as you can't even break through the defense, as long as you can cause effective damage to the enemy, then even if you encounter players in the future, you think this battle is still possible.
And after this wave, players have also deeply realized the benefits of having strong enough single-target combat capabilities.
In fact, they have never experienced this kind of situation before, because from the beginning to the present, the battles that players have experienced have basically been that their side is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and the enemy is a big advantage.
Under such circumstances, the enemy fought hard and finally won. In fact, the situation of this battle was basically the same as the players' previous encounters, except that the roles were reversed this time, but it was also because the players had the experience of previous battles. So they know very well what they fear most when they are at a disadvantage.
When you are at a disadvantage, what you fear most is attrition, but if you have an advantage, you just have to be willing to use other units as human shields.
Helping the decisive arms increase their survivability, the disadvantaged side will be easily defeated. In the battles that players encountered in the past, they basically did not encounter civilizations doing this.
So even if their numbers are relatively small, they can win every battle.
Of course, players can understand if they don't do this. After all, compared to some civilizations, the situation is different. Their warships have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, using other warships to serve as part of the elite warships. Cannon fodder itself is not feasible, not to mention that he can't guarantee whether this plan will be successful, so no one dares to implement it.
But the players are different. As long as they can win, they can try any plan, and they are very confident about this wave of operations,
After all, as the weak side, they have a lot of experience in defeating more with less, and they know where the pain points of the weak side are. They just need to seize this pain point and attack crazily.
In this way, after the battle ended, the players also began to clean up. Appreciating the materials of these advanced civilizations is of great research value. Secondly, there are also a lot of ores inside them as energy reserves, and these ores have been used Players take it away and use it to recover their own injuries.
Although the quantity of these ores was far from enough, for the players, as the saying goes, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, so they took the ores away without hesitation.
After doing this, players can quickly evacuate this place.
Although they won this wave, they lost money because they did not complete their original plan.
So not only did they not get any rewards in this wave, they also added a lot of troops. Fortunately, through this game, the players also fully realized the gap between their own civilizations.
Although that civilization left a lot of resources internally, due to time constraints, it was naturally impossible for the players to stay and slowly collect all those resources, so the players only collected part of it and left in a hurry.
As for the planet battle star, if you can get it, it will be a big improvement for the players. But the price that players now have to pay to defeat him is too high, so players can only give up.
In general, players suffered very heavy losses in this wave.
At the same time, through this wave of players, they also know how uncomfortable it is to fight a war of attrition with the enemy when resources are insufficient.
Today, players may have to spend 10 times or even 20 times more resources than the opponent to defeat the opponent. If their resource storage volume is not large enough, then they will only be killed alive when fighting the enemy. Consumed to death.
But the only good thing is that this wave of attacks by the players gave Jiang Yao some precious breathing time.
After he recovered all the resources that the players had collected before, Jiang Yao once again embarked on the road to escape, because the civilized fleet would not wait long and would come back to pursue Jiang Yao.
However, Jiang Yao also discovered a problem through this wave, that is, the fleet of the other civilization was not as powerful as he imagined. If the numerical difference was not huge, he still had a chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao gradually had an idea in his mind.
It didn't take long for the players to receive another message.
That message was Jiang Yao's strategic policy for that unknown civilization.
First of all, through the last wave of battles, Jiang Yao can basically confirm that the opponent's warships have a very high technological level, and even say that there are many things in them. Jiang Yao estimates that even for that level of civilization, it will be difficult to obtain a large amount.
This means that the number of warships with that kind of technology is limited, and it is impossible to have millions or even tens of millions of warships.
Of course, for Jiang Yao, even if the other party comes out with hundreds of thousands, he has no way to solve it.
But he couldn't solve the problem of hundreds of thousands. He still had a way to deal with the tens of thousands, so in response to this, he made a plan for the players, that is, the players would continue to collect resources in the universe under normal circumstances.
At this time, the mysterious unknown civilization will most likely continue to send fleets to chase him according to the previous routine, but the number of fleets he sends is estimated to be about the same as the previous wave, only around 20,000 to 30,000.
So Jiang Yao's idea is that if the number of the opponent's aircraft and warships is determined, then it can recall the players and fight with these warships.
By consuming the enemy in this way, for Jiang Yao, it only takes a few days to replenish the dead bugs as long as he has the resources. However, if the opponent's warship dies, it will probably be difficult to replenish it within a few years. .
After one or two waves of such an operation, the enemies will naturally know that in the long run, the risk will be very high for them, because when the number of their warships drops to a certain level, Jiang Yao will definitely attack them without hesitation. Attack.
At this point, they had only two choices. The first choice was to send a large number of soldiers to pursue Jiang Yao. In this case, Jiang Yao would not be able to confront them head-on. But at this stage, it is completely possible to release the players and repeat the previous operations, allowing them to continue collecting resources while they continue to escape. If the opponent does this, their hometown defense will inevitably be much empty, and this is a good offensive opportunity for the players. Although it is definitely impossible to win, but players can cause some damage and then run away. It can definitely be done.
After such a wave of operations, the situation on the other side will definitely not be too good.
All in all, the strategy he is going to adopt in this wave is that the enemy will advance, I will retreat while the enemy retreats, and I will advance. If I don't confront you directly, I will slowly fight with you to consume them.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yao immediately began to make arrangements.
At this time, the brainworms have achieved some results in their research on the energy of that planet.
Of course, the main reason why they were able to make progress was because when they attacked the Zerg Queen this time, they analyzed the outer layer of energy.
This level of energy is naturally several levels lower than what they are studying, but the principles of the two are the same. Research through this commonality has made their understanding of this energy much clearer.
The brainworm that had achieved results in this way immediately informed Jiang Yao of the research progress here.
"What you mean is that the energy shield developed by this mysterious civilization is actually completely different from the shield in our hands."
"In addition, our previous conjecture that this mysterious civilization also obtained this energy body is wrong?"
At this time, Jiang Yao couldn't help but frown when he heard what Brain Worm said.
Jiang Yao was very surprised by the news that Brain Worm told him.
You must know that this kind of energy body is very strange in terms of composition and characteristics. Yes, if Jiang Yao had to describe it, he could only use this word to describe it.
Because many of its characteristics violate the laws of the existing universe, ordinary civilizations would never consider their functions in this regard even if they were to study similar weapons.
Because it is basically impossible to achieve this function.
The reason why I know these functions or characteristics is mainly because I have obtained this energy shield.
And through research we know its essence.
It is also for this reason that I can know this.
Only then can we know that there is such a strange thing in the universe.
And this is where Jiang Yao finds it tricky. It has never been difficult to study certain things in the universe.
Because even if you can't study this kind of thing now, at least it exists and you can slowly study its principles and composition.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the research on low-level civilizations. You will be able to understand it after you become a high-level civilization.
So as long as this kind of thing exists, it is only a matter of time for you to research it.
But if this kind of thing doesn't exist and you want to study it, then the difficulty is different.
The difficulty of using something from something to something is completely different from that of creating something from nothing.
And just now, the brainworm told himself that the things in the hands of the mysterious civilization were researched by themselves, and the most important thing was that they were researched by themselves without any reference
This is outrageous.
You need to know the characteristics of this thing, its function or other functions are actually the same as the special energy body you obtained.
"If they really started research from scratch, how did they make two things so similar?"
At this time, Jiang Yao asked the brainworm his biggest doubt.
As for Jiang Yao's doubts, Brainworm naturally knows why he thinks so. After all, if there are only some similarities, then it doesn't really matter.
After all, coincidences like this happen everywhere in the universe.
But basically all the functions displayed are similar, so if you still say this is a coincidence, this is more or less unreasonable.
As for Jiang Yao's doubts, Brainworm naturally gave him a reasonable explanation.
"The leader is actually very simple. Although in the development of civilization, the things they produce are different depending on the civilization, but after reaching certain points, they are actually the same."
While talking, Brain Worm briefly gave Jiang Yao a few examples.
"For example, take a spaceship that a low-level civilization enters space. No matter what civilization it is, of course the civilization here excludes those civilizations that can survive in the universe."
"Usually, if some ordinary civilizations want to set foot in the universe, they will produce spaceships. This is consistent."
"Maybe because of different civilizations, the spacecraft they produce have different functions and different appearances, but their essence is the same."
"Another example is some physical laws or mathematical laws, the most basic things in the universe, which are the same for us and other civilizations."
"This is also the reason why we can communicate normally with other civilizations, because the innate language system of our Zerg contains the most basic self-translation system."
"This kind of thing uses the simplest mathematical template. Whether it is us or other civilizations, although we have different names for numbers or other things in mathematics, the core calculation results are the same. .”
"So we can convert and communicate in this way, which is why the energy body studied by that civilization has so many similarities with what we accidentally discovered."
Jiang Yao also nodded thoughtfully after hearing what Brain Worm said.
