Chapter 753: Chapter 457: Star Fortress Ship【4200 Words】_2

He muttered to himself, “Anyway, whether or not I join the war, I can’t return to the Imperial Territory for a while. So let’s keep our distance, neither getting closer nor further away, and just fly like this for now. Let’s see how things unfold.”

At the same time, he also sent a message to Freddy, temporarily changing the course.

Freddy didn’t offer any suggestions on this matter and simply followed Harrison Clark’s arrangements.

Harrison Clark reopened the Imperial Territory star system simulation system, and once again examined the overall situation and details of the battlefield.

Of the original 14,400 main human colonies, only just over 600 remain.

The reason these colonies have survived until now is not due to their strength, but purely because they are mediocre.

These star systems do not have top-tier research institutions that drive technological progress, nor are they mature industry chains with some special mineral reserves and large-scale industrial bases. They do not have a conducive natural planetary environment with suitable stellar surroundings to serve as a population breeding ground. Their insignificance has made the compound-eyed observers too lazy to target them primarily.

There are also more than 800 newly established colonies replenishing military forces and restoring industrial production capacity.

Originally, the Dyson Membrane Energy Base Galaxy expanded to hundreds of thousands, but after years of warfare, now fewer than 10,000 remain, and the main transit channels for biological batteries have long been severed.

All 1,024 Stargates have been wiped out.

Large human transport ships can no longer travel safely through the route.

As long as a large transport ship dares appear on the route, it is bound to be discovered by the patrolling Blade Mantises.

Humans can only divide into smaller units, dispatching tiny artificial or intelligent ships in small numbers and multiple batches to travel through the route, spending months or even years to bring more energy batteries back to the surviving star systems.

Even so, small units still frequently encounter enemy attacks.

If they encounter beetles or Dragonfly Fighters instead of Blade Mantises, there is still a chance to fight back.

If they come across Blade Mantises, they can only pray to flee for an extra second.

Despite the dangers, these long-haul carriers have never stopped their toilsome journeys.

No one cares about death, just like everyone knows the high death rate from plane crashes, but people still have to fly.

There will always be sacrifices, but there will also always be those who can safely reach their destination and bring back the precious batteries.

Since microwave power transmission cannot cross planetary systems, the main output of the Dyson Membrane Energy Base Galaxy is in batteries.

In a complete industrial system, each high-performance battery can be transformed into dozens of standard warplanes.

Dozens of batteries can be transformed into a small warship.

Carriers often change their destinations temporarily, perhaps because they’ve detected the Blade Mantises near the energy base in front, or maybe their return destination star system has been destroyed.

Many years ago, when the compound-eyed observers changed their war strategy, gradually cleaning up and blocking human research capabilities, industrial capabilities, and population supply capacity, while continuously cutting off human supply lines, carriers became an important profession with many practitioners.

Since the end of 3118, when the compound-eyed observers built a snake-shaped stargate and began to invade or destroy human stargates, the number of carriers has surged by countless times in a short period of time.

The huge number of carriers, like cosmic wanderers, formed the blood vessels of the surviving colonies of the Morrowind Empire with their lives, supporting the last radiance of the empire.

In short, on the vast Imperial Star Map, most of the once-prosperous human colonies have turned into orange dots.

There are a total of more than 1,400 remaining star systems, scattered sporadically across the territory, without any scale or system, most of which have turned blood-red, with only a few remaining temporarily safe in green.

The 72 original human star districts have long ceased to exist.

Harrison Clark noticed that at the other end of the Morrowind Empire’s territory, far away from his current position, there was a particularly bright red dot.

He first narrowed the search range, zoomed in on the star map, and then let out a soft “Huh.”

How strange.

At present, there are approximately 90,000 Angular Warships patrolling the outer regions of the Orion Arm, hunting the escape vessels.

Within the Orion Arm, nearly 900,000 Angular Warships are divided into groups of several hundred, forming more than a thousand squads to attack various human star systems separately.But in this small planetary system before his eyes, it was filled with a full hundred thousand angular warships.

Moreover, the strategy used by the Prism Ships was different this time, not a divided push, but instead forming a grid connection formation that Harrison Clark found familiar, revolving around a massive celestial body and pressing forward slowly yet resolutely.

Harrison Clark scanned the detailed intelligence of the star system and suddenly understood.

This was the DF-711 stellar system with ultra-small Stellar Engine 001 installed, and currently the only slow-moving super fortress ship directly powered by a star ever built by human civilization.

Since the beginning of the war, the 711 million-kilometer-wide DF-711 Fortress Ship had been gradually accelerating at a very slow speed, drifting from the edge of the development star zone toward the outskirts of the Orion Arm.

Since it was impossible to build a giant warping bubble generator large enough to cover a range of 711 million kilometers, the fortress ship could only use a traditional medium propulsion mode.

A hundred years had passed, but the flight speed of the 711 Fortress Ship had still not reached the speed of light, only 60,000 kilometers per second, about one-fifth the speed of light, and it hadn’t left the Morrowind Empire territory, only slightly closer to the border.

This was well within the scientific estimation. As long as it could hold out for a few hundred more years, the 711 Fortress Ship would gradually approach the speed of light and be launched unopposed to the far end of the Laniakea Supercluster Group.

According to scientists’ estimates, the full power force field shield of the fortress ship could overpower the web of plasma tearing from the Angular Warships’ grid with sheer volume and rely on its enormous mass to counter the traction and devouring of the black hole bomb. The force field shield combined with the ultra-thick alloy shell protection could also withstand the bombardment of the antimatter bomb.

As for the unified force cutting of the Blade Mantis? Not afraid either.

The surface of the fortress ship was covered with numerous energy cannons using focusing lenses, which could carry out saturation attacks on external targets. If the Blade Mantis really tried to rush up, they would have a chance to annihilate it.

As for the Blade Mantis’s warping ability?

Under the powerful gravitational pull brought by the super high mass of the fortress ship, the space near the fortress ship was already distorted, coupled with the continuous influence of the super-high power space disorder force field. It wouldn’t be so easy for the Blade Mantis to warp close.

As for physical toxic bombs?

They weren’t afraid of those either.

The outer shell armor of the fortress ship had tens of thousands of independent layers and could be instantly separated with a scale-like structure design. If one piece was blown to pieces, they would abandon it on the spot.

The lower outer shell could immediately float up to replace the damaged parts, and the inner manufacturing factories could work overtime to produce new armor.

Putting aside the stellar engine, the batteries stored in the fortress ship were enough for the billions of people inside to use at full capacity for tens of millions of years.

Researchers had not been idle in these hundred years. While analyzing the structure of the Prism Ships, apart from researching how to break through the enemy’s armor, they had been improving their own materials based on feedback from the explosions.

According to the most pessimistic estimates of the Empire’s high command, even if they were defeated, the 711 Fortress Ship would still have a chance to charge into the endless universe, even if they were pursued by Prism Ships along the way.

Human history would continue within the fortress ship for thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, and even tens of millions to hundreds of millions of years.

Maybe one day, humanity can enter the territory of another more powerful civilization, and that powerful civilization might just happen to be on the “good” side, right?

Although it was dreaming, it was better than trapping oneself in a nightmare.

The highest command of the Morrowind Empire was also located inside the fortress ship.

Such a large target was naturally difficult to escape from the eyes of the Compound-Eyed Observer.

Perhaps the Compound-Eyed Observer had planned to deal with it slowly in the end, but suddenly changed his mind, gathering a full hundred thousand Prism Ships to surround it.

The footsteps of the fortress ship’s advance did not cease, but the encirclement of the Prism Ships also moved steadily, synchronizing with the fortress ship’s speed.

There were still countless warships and fighters inside who came flying out, attempting to tear apart the encirclement of the Prism Ships.

On the periphery of the encirclement, there were even more scattered human forces converging from all directions.

Under the gathering of sand into a tower, the human forces trying to break through the protective layer of the Prism Ships on the outside were comparable to the Barnard’s Star Fleet during its heyday.

Undoubtedly, this would be humanity’s final battle.

Scarlett’s estimate of two months referred precisely to the time it believed the 711 Fortress Ship could hold out.

As for the other colonial star systems, they would not last until then.

At the moment the 711 Fortress Ship perished, the era of human civilization would come to an end.
