Chapter 1072 Come Prepared
If the situation continues to develop like this, the conventional fleet of the Reapers will definitely be defeated.
However, several civilizations on the United Front side know that as a sixth-level civilization that has dominated the Milky Way for tens of millions of years, the conventional fleet of the Reapers is definitely more than this.
The upper limit of the number of warships a civilization can have is not set by anyone. The reason why the scale of ships of a sixth-level civilization is about 100 billion is that if there are more, it will be affected by comprehensive factors such as maintenance costs, resources required to maintain the scale, human resources, and the degree of technological popularization and social conditions of individual civilizations.
Even for a sixth-level civilization, it is impossible for every intelligent life to be a scientist or engineer.
The same is true for the scale of the main battleships.
Take the Shenju civilization as an example. As a sixth-level civilization that has existed for countless thousands of years, if they have been building main battleships, they will definitely be more than the current one, but their fleet size has basically stopped growing after it has developed to this extent.
Its population size is also maintained at a relatively stable number.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, the influence of each civilization's management model, and on the other hand, the cosmic environment factors in which this civilization is located.
In the past, the Milky Way had not seen civilizations that expanded infinitely, but they were slaughtered by electronic warships without any suspense.
The Reapers did not expand to the entire Milky Way, but the number of their main battleships was definitely no less than 10 billion, and now there are only more than 5 billion battleships here. It is conceivable that they must have other fleets.
Maybe they are hidden in the deep void behind, or maybe they have not arrived yet.
The Milky Way is so vast that the Reapers cannot teleport here all at once.
But the existence of those battleships must be taken into consideration by the United Front. Therefore, since the beginning of the war, the Shenju Civilization and the Yinxin Alliance, which are the main forces of conventional combat power, have not invested all their strength.
And this method just happens to avoid the situation where the electronic battleships are wiped out in one pot after they appear, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Maybe the countermeasures of the United Front worked, or maybe it was the plan of the Reapers.
As time went on, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and such large-scale group battles also made the battleships of both sides seem to become consumables. The main battlefield starry sky has expanded from a few light years at the beginning to dozens of light years, and the outer battlefield has reached thousands of light years.
Within this range, any star is unsafe, because both sides will not hesitate to blow up some stars in some positions in order to achieve some strategic or tactical goals.
The supernova explosion caused by the weapons of the sixth-level civilization is more violent than natural conditions, because they basically blow up the star to pieces, all the matter will be ejected, and endless energy will radiate to all parts of the universe in the form of light balls.
Admittedly, the supernova explosion has little effect on the sixth-level civilization battleships. They can even fight in the light of the supernova. The awakener and the harvester once fought like that.
In this war, the motivation of both sides to blow up the stars is mostly to interfere with the detection vision of the other side, and to create some blockade barriers that small detectors cannot pass through to reduce the possibility of penetration by the other side's detectors. Now tens of thousands of stars have been destroyed by both sides in the battlefield starry sky. I believe that after the war, this star field will definitely have an empty area of thousands or even tens of thousands of light years.
The battlefield situation has finally changed after 31 years.
The exploration team of the Silver Heart Alliance has never given up on rushing to the rear of the main fleet of the Reapers. Unfortunately, there has been no progress in the past ten years, but this is enough to show that there is something fishy behind the main fleet of the Reapers.
And this year, a exploration fleet finally succeeded in breaking through the layers of resistance of the Reapers and crossed the previous exploration defense line. Although this exploration fleet was quickly destroyed, it also sent the latest news to the Silver Heart Alliance before it was destroyed.
The Silver Heart Alliance received it, and all the civilizations on the United Front naturally knew it.
It was a fleet with a scale of about 1.3 billion. According to its location, it will probably reach the battlefield in a few years.
It was just a support fleet, and the United Front was not afraid.
But what the major civilizations on the United Front could not have imagined was that a few months later, a message from the exploration fleet in the rear made several civilizations feel uneasy.
It is said that in the direction of the retreat of the residential spacecraft cluster, there were traces of the Reaper fleet. In order to find out the number of fleets, the United Front has lost no less than 100,000 exploration fleets.
The final detection result is: the Reaper fleet appeared in the rear, with a number of about 1.5 billion.
This result made the human civilization, the Galactic Alliance, the Shenju civilization, and the Daya civilization nervous, because they were the only four in the united front that had large-scale residential spaceship clusters.
And this intelligence also indirectly told the united front that the other main battleships of the Reapers had not appeared because they had not arrived, but had gone around the outer edge of the starry sky to the rear of the battlefield.
The sudden appearance of this situation made several major civilizations nervous, because that was the foundation of civilization. This is not good for wandering civilizations. If such a large-scale war occurs, the residential spaceship clusters of civilizations will be in danger.
Of course, settled civilizations are actually more dangerous. There are so many level 6 civilizations in the Milky Way, and they were wiped out by the Reapers because the cats were in their own small universes.
In the current situation, because the detection level of level 6 civilizations is far higher than the effective range of various weapons of warships, it does not mean that they will be attacked when they discover the enemy fleet, and there is still time to react.
No mistakes, just read the content of the first post on 6-9-book!
And the reaction time requires countless exploration fleets to sacrifice their lives.
Human civilization, Daya civilization, Shenju civilization, and Yinxin Alliance also reacted quickly. After receiving the news, they immediately held a quick meeting and then took action.
The plan is to let the residential spacecraft cluster return, and then Shenju civilization and Yinxin Alliance will each send 1 billion main battleships to support.
At the same time, both sides will send fleets to the main battlefield to put pressure on the main battleships of the Reapers and try to force the electronic warships out.
After fighting for so long, the electronic warships have not appeared, which makes the United Front deeply uneasy.
Even the Yinxin Alliance, an organization that has been fighting against the Reapers for countless years, feels that the situation can no longer be so passive, because the Reapers rarely have such tactics.
If it were in the past, the Reapers' electronic warships would have appeared long ago, but now they let their main battleships fall into a passive position.
Something abnormal must be a demon.
In this decisive battle, from the moment the Reapers bet on the actions of the United Front, the latter fell into a passive position. And now, all the battlefield situations seem to be under the control of the Reapers, as evidenced by the two support fleets that appeared one after the other.
Especially the fleet in the rear, it can be said that it is necessary to rescue the enemy when attacking.
