Chapter 1403: This chapter is embarrassing!
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Don't just stand there like idiots, line up and move forward."
"If a family member is missing, don't just stand there crying. Keep moving forward, register the missing person, and we'll help you find them."
Along the walkway, you can see many staff members guiding visitors, and there are also a large number of robots involved.
What lay before them was a T6 Star Sea Whale-class super-heavy interstellar transport ship!
However, at this moment, the cargo compartments of this interstellar transport ship, which were originally filled with cargo, have been cut into layers.
It looks just like a dense honeycomb.
Nevertheless, everyone was properly accommodated.
Although there were no special seats, everyone had at least a space to sit or even lie down, and each person's spot was even provided with some simple food and water.
The orc girl sat in her designated spot with her family.
She looked at the candy inside the small package, happily tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.
The sweetness of that moment made her feel that the tension she had felt earlier had dissipated considerably.
I didn't feel much resistance to this unexpected trip.
Soon, every seat in their cabin was occupied.
The hatch closed.
Although it looks enclosed, it doesn't feel suffocating.
At that moment, a system voice also sounded inside the cabin.
"This is the T6 Starsea Giant Whale 061 ship."
Our ship will transport you to the designated starport in the star system, where you will have the option to be transferred to a habitable planet for a period of time, where you will be provided with the most basic living necessities.
If you have relatives or friends you wish to stay with, you can submit an application, and the relevant departments will provide you with travel expenses.
Inside the cabin, the relevant announcements were being repeated over and over.
At the same time, information about some habitable planets appeared overhead.
The habitable planets they were assigned to were far better than their original planets, and some even had corresponding jobs.
This greatly relieved the mental stress of everyone in the cabin, and some people even began to imagine a better future.
Because the Scorpius-Tiger Galaxy itself is not a developed galaxy, and is even in the middle to late range in the local star system.
The habitable planets and environmental conditions arranged in these plans are above average, so the vast majority of people naturally have no objections.
The bridge of this T6 Starsea Whale-class super-heavy interstellar transport ship
The captain watched as each cabin turned green.
With a serious expression, she said to the vice-captain, "Check the life support systems in each compartment again."
We've been transporting goods before, so this aspect is irrelevant.
But this time we're transporting people!
A full billion people!
I will not allow any casualties on our starship.
The relevant medical teams should be ready!
The vice-captain assured him confidently, "Please rest assured, Captain, I have checked these things several times."
Furthermore, each cabin will be staffed with at least one crew member to ensure the safe and smooth arrival of personnel at the target starport.
There will absolutely be no problems!
"Also, remember our mission."
After completing the evacuation of personnel, we must continue with logistical supply and transportation missions as we leave the target starport to load supplies.
All temporary personnel cabin equipment must be removed.
"We can't waste even a single second!" the captain emphasized again.
"We have prepared all these contingency plans, and there won't be any problems," the deputy captain said.
The captain glanced at the time and then looked at the situation in each compartment: "It seems that we will complete the personnel boarding in each compartment in about ten minutes."
After that, we will prepare to set off.
Arrange for all departments to prepare for the voyage.
"yes."
The captain watched every step intently, not daring to let his guard down.
The process continued until all personnel in all compartments had entered, each compartment was closed, and all corridors connecting to the outside were withdrawn.
After all the surrounding interstellar transport ships and shuttles had evacuated to a safe area.
The T6 Starsea Whale-class super-heavy interstellar transport ship started up again and headed towards the stargate.
The captain took one last look at the direction of the battlefield, where it seemed as if there was an insurmountable barrier, sealing off the fighting in that area and ensuring that it would not affect other areas.
However, that battlefield area is constantly expanding.
Their mission now is not only to transport strategic materials, but also to evacuate all the people in this star system as soon as possible.
...
T6 Dragon Emperor Starship - Bridge
"The latest report indicates that the evacuation of personnel from the three battlefield star systems is 50% complete, and the remaining evacuation will be completed within fifteen hours."
"At that time, in these three star systems, apart from combat personnel, not a single civilian will remain within the battlefield's impact zone." Secretary Lilith reported this information to Zhao Chen.
"Besides the combat star system, are there any neighboring star systems around it?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Neighboring galaxies are also evacuating, but the evacuation is slower."
It is estimated that within sixty hours at the latest, the evacuation and dispersal work will be completed in all areas within the yellow battlefield warning zone we have designated, except for the Luoyang star system.
The Luoyang star system is special because of the existence of the city of Luoyang.
However, we also issued a war alert.
All ordinary residents within the Luoyang system can choose to evacuate, survive in local planetary shelters, or relocate to Luoyang city.
If the war spreads to the Luoyang system, all people on all planets must evacuate to Luoyang city.
"In our plan, Luoyang is a city that must be held!" said Secretary Lilith.
Zhao Chen nodded.
Luoyang City is not a small interstellar city; it is one of the pillars of the current Xiaolong Empire.
It is an important interstellar hub and military hub.
The loss of Luoyang would pose a significant problem for subsequent battles.
What about the resettlement of the evacuated personnel?
According to previously reported information, the number of people evacuated due to the war reached 130 billion, involving as many as 35 interstellar races with populations exceeding 100 million.
"We have already made arrangements for this. In fact, we have already set up habitable settlements for war evacuation residents in some star systems before this."
Let alone 130 billion people, even if there were a trillion people, there would be no problem in resettling them.
They were provided with housing immediately, and all their basic living needs were met. They were also given suitable jobs.
"Make sure all evacuees can return to normal life within three days," said Secretary Lilith.
The JF-17 Thunder is different now than before.
In the past, when we fought a war, all we had to do was think about fighting; if we won, that was enough.
But now it's the Dragon Empire, so there are many more things to consider. If one aspect isn't taken into account, it could cause widespread negative consequences!
"Soon our interstellar warships on all battlefields will enter a resupply phase."
This will put a lot of pressure on the logistics supply lines.
"Can you handle this pressure?" Zhao Chen asked Lilith.
Lilith was in charge of the logistics and supply lines.
Lilith firmly stated, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the decision can ensure the normal operation of all logistical supplies, guaranteeing that the combat fleet's battle will not be affected!"
The Twenty-Fourth Hour of the Battle of the Dragon Empire
A day and a night have passed since the start of this war, and basically the vast majority of people in the Xiaolong Empire know that the Xiaolong Empire is currently experiencing a major war!
Another group of invaders from other universes.
However, the vast majority of people felt that their lives were not affected and continued to carry out their work as usual, without worrying about the war at all.
At this time, the high command of the Dragon Empire's military and the Holy Elf Legion fleet held their second military meeting.
The meeting mainly focused on whether there were any modifications needed or suggested battlefield strategies based on the previous 24-hour battle.
Basically, most of the content remains unchanged from the original.
However, some people raised concerns about certain minor aspects.
"Based on the current combat situation over the past 24 hours."
After discussing with the Flame Elf King, we decided to modify the original rotation strategy.
First, every battlefield.
The combat time for the fleet rotation of the Xiaolong Empire Legion has been changed from three hours to eight hours.
As for the Holy Elf Legion fleet, the combat rotation time has been changed to four hours.
However, the battle alternates between the four phases, with the dragon and the holy elf taking turns.
For example, the first batch was the JF-17, the second batch was the Holy Elf, and the third batch was the JF-17 again.
"The entire rotation cycle is twenty-four combat hours," Zhao Chen said.
This is undoubtedly a major change for all battlefields.
The marshals of the Falcon Legion showed no change in expression, as if they had known about this all along.
However, the commanders of the Holy Elf Legion fleet had different expressions.
One person even slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting, "I object!"
Why is our battle time four hours, while the Xiaolong Empire Legion fleet's is eight hours?
Is this a sign of looking down on our Holy Elf Legion fleet?
Although, judging from the current results, our record is not as good as yours.
However, our Holy Elf Legion fleet is not afraid of death, and we can fight the Legion fleet that devours civilization to the very end.
We don't need that kind of care!
The other elven commanders also looked rather grim.
Because these adjustments are undoubtedly a slap in their face.
Those of them who take pride in their status as high elves naturally cannot allow something that would tarnish their honor to happen.
"Quiet down, all of you," the Flame Elf King said at this moment.
She suddenly glared at her own fleet commanders.
"Didn't you hear? This was a decision made after discussions between me and Emperor Xiaolong."
That's something I agree with too.
"So your objections are invalid, and the battle will proceed as planned!" the Flame Elf King said bluntly.
Upon hearing their own Elf King say this, the fleet commanders immediately deflated.
But one of the fleet commanders couldn't help himself and asked the Flame Elf King with resentment, "Your Majesty, why..."
"Shut up, you have questions."
We'll talk about it later!
"Don't embarrass me here." The Flame Elf King retorted without any politeness, which made the fleet commander shut his mouth obediently, but he still sat there with a defiant attitude.
After that, the second wartime military conference between the two countries came to a temporary end.
The holographic images of everyone disappeared.
Before the Flame Elf King, there were still holographic images of several fleet commanders.
They all looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.
"I know you all have something on your mind."
I just wanted to talk about what happened earlier.
Why is it that the Falcon Empire's fleet rotates every eight hours, while ours only rotates every four hours?
"Right?" The Flame Elf King's tone was very calm at this moment.
But the next second, she pointed directly at the fleet commanders: "Why?"
Then we'll have to ask you guys.
Back when they were in our empire, they all claimed they were prepared to fight the Devouring Civilization Legion fleet to the death.
Now?
Are you telling me you're prepared for a decisive battle based on this combat data?
This is the preparation you've made for me!
"How many interstellar warships do you have? There are a million interstellar warships on each battlefield."
They also have a million interstellar warships.
Both are one million ships.
good.
You say they are fighting on their home soil, but they have just experienced war and are very experienced in combat.
OK.
I'm giving you time to familiarize yourselves with the battlefield; I'm giving you a chance.
But what about now!
The casualty ratio remains at four to one!
But their casualty ratio has long exceeded ten to one!
In 24 hours of combat, the enemy lost a total of less than 20,000 interstellar warships.
What about us?
Forty thousand interstellar warships were lost.
The number of enemy soldiers killed was less than half of theirs!
Why did they change this date?
It's not like we suffered such a huge loss!
They're trying to save face for us.
You all have a sense of shame now.
If you have any shame, go fight it back on the battlefield!
"When the battle casualty ratio returns to above eight to one, I will apply for more battle time for you!" the Flame Elf King roared.
Actually, this change was something Zhao Chen and she had discussed, and the real reason was to make it easier for the High Council to send reinforcements later.
But the Flame Elf King naturally couldn't tell these things frankly.
So she decided to take this opportunity to give these guys a good talking-to.
Let them know what it means to be shameful.
If this can help them improve themselves during the war, then her current admonition will not have been in vain!
