The Advantage Is Ours
The advantage lies with me.
Since the Main Battleship joined the war, only three days have passed, and humanity has completely turned the tide of the war from a disadvantage to an advantage—an advantage that allows them to win no matter where they charge in or go out to fight.
Because of the Kun-Tai Civilization's strategy of concealment, and because humanity was unwilling to rush in and fight, the war, which had lasted for three days, suddenly entered a brief period of respite.
On the Lyra, Yue Yuan and his crew, who had been soaking in the Acceleration Buffer Fluid for three days, did not remove the buffer solution. Since they had already been soaking for three days, they didn't care about soaking for a few more days.
The Acceleration Buffer Fluid contains nutrients, so there's no need to worry about going hungry.
The so-called nutrients are mainly monosaccharides like glucose that the body can directly utilize. Therefore, when absorbing the energy needed by the body from the Acceleration Buffer Fluid, humans do not need to worry about food residue. Without food residue, there is naturally no waste excretion.
This also makes it less troublesome for people in the Acceleration Buffer Fluid.
Of course, there is still urine, so people in the Acceleration Buffer Fluid are basically wearing a device on their lower body, which contains some Ergonomics tubes connected to their excretory organs.
This system can detect the real-time volume of urine in the human bladder and then automatically adjust the pressure difference to expel the urine. There's no way to urinate without a system in a vacuum; the human body can't feel the urge in a vacuum, so either you need to urinate regularly, or you need such a system.
At this moment, Yue Yuan had the Mechanical Arm lift him forward a little, then opened the file and took a look at the human casualties.
On the human side, two Mountain-Class Warships have been sunk so far: the Mount Danxia-Class Warship and Mount Song-Class Warship of the Kunlun-Class Warship.
In fact, if the Lyra Kun-Tai Civilization hadn't mistakenly focused its firepower on the Lyra, the Mount Lu-Class Warship would probably be gone too. As for the Mount Huang-Class Warship, it's now in a severely damaged state, with its Main Thruster destroyed and only able to operate with a few Auxiliary Thruster, having lost its ability to continue fighting.
So essentially, the Lyra fleet is now fighting against six opponents at once.
The losses of the Callisto-Class Warship were even more severe; of the original sixty, only twenty remain.
Since the Escort Ship basically did not participate in actual combat, but only carried out tasks such as detection and intercepting detectors, they did not suffer many losses.
Seeing the extent of the damage, Yue Yuan suddenly felt that humanity might not need to develop so many different types of warships.
Callisto-Class Warship doesn't seem to be of much use.
They couldn't sink the Mountain-Class Warship, and could only serve a harassing purpose. The key issue was that they were too easy to sink; basically, one shot could sink one ship, and they couldn't stop the main guns of the Mountain-Class Warship at all.
As for its detection capabilities, it is not as effective as Small Escort Ship.
However, operating a single Callisto-Class Warship requires a very large crew, roughly half the number of Main Battleship. Therefore, the personnel losses from battle damage to Callisto-Class Warship are actually the greatest.
The sinking of forty Callisto-Class Warship resulted in the deaths of 60,000 soldiers, while the sinking of two Mountain-Class Warship resulted in only 6,000 deaths—a difference of tenfold.
If this happened to humans who had just left the Solar System, they would have been wiped out.
Seeing this, Yue Yuan felt it was necessary to have another discussion about the fleet structure after the war. Perhaps the Callisto-Class Warship would no longer be needed. Even if they were to be built, they would probably only be used as large transport ships.
Compared to the Callisto-Class Warship, the Small Escort Ship play a more significant role. They are the mainstays in battlefield visibility and interception of detectors, and they do it exceptionally well. Crucially, they require fewer crew members, and if their future missions are solely focused on visibility and intercepting enemy detectors, they could even operate entirely unmanned.
After making a note of the matter, Yue Yuan turned his attention back to the current situation.
The remaining warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization have all hidden behind the asteroid, Lyra has also moved away to a distance of 30 light-seconds, and has also moved to the far side of the asteroid.
If you hide, I'll hide too.
Seeing the severe damage to the Callisto-Class Warship, Yue Yuan then gave instructions to the captains of the Callisto-Class Warship in the Kunlun-Class Warship and Lyra fleets, instructing them to maintain distance in the subsequent battles and to work with the Escort Ship to conduct intelligence gathering.
The situation is now under control. Without the need for harassment and attacks from the Callisto-Class Warship, the Lyra can take out the remaining Kun-Tai Civilization warships. Therefore, Yue Yuan plans to play it safe and minimize the losses.
In the surprise attack on the Kun-Tai Civilization 'Residential Spaceship, humanity also achieved significant results. Two thousand Self-Detonating Shuttle and twenty thousand self-destructing drones destroyed a total of two hundred and eight Kun-Tai Civilization Residential Spaceship.
Of the ten Callisto-Class Warships that participated in the raid, six were sunk during the harassment mission, suffering heavy losses. The open space and lack of asteroid cover were one reason, but the Callisto Warship themselves were also a contributing factor.
Looking back now, Yue Yuan feels that there was also an element of strategic error involved.
If a Mountain-Class Warship had been sent instead, so many Callisto-Class Warship probably wouldn't have been sunk. But there are no "what ifs," and at the time, no one knew the Kun-Tai Civilization would be so decisive, nor did they know that those Residential Spaceship had run out of fuel.
If Yue Yuan had known this, he wouldn't have chosen to launch a surprise attack on the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship. After all, as long as their fleet was defeated, the Residential Spaceship would be at their mercy! Of course, at that time, Yue Yuan was also worried that the human Mountain-Class Warship would not be able to defeat the Kun-Tai Civilization's fleet, since the difference in numbers was too great. Who would have thought that the Kun-Tai Civilization didn't even have Positron Cannon?
Just then, the crew member in charge of communications called out in the internal channel, "Commander Yue, the Kun-Tai Civilization has sent a message."
"Ignore them. Just have the Escort Ship and detectors keep an eye on their remaining warships," Yue Yuan replied without even looking at them.
The communicator, however, persisted, saying, "Well, I think you should take a look! This message from Kun-Tai Civilization is a bit unusual."
Special?! At this point, what can the Kun-Tai Civilization do? Nothing more than some surrender agreements. Yue Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but since the communications officer said so, he certainly wouldn't blindly refuse again.
However, when he saw the message, he was shocked because it was not a surrender agreement at all, but more like a declaration of mutual destruction.
[Human Civilization, I must say, your warships are powerful, but if our forces hadn't been short of resources and exhausted fuel, the outcome would have been uncertain. Indeed, you won, but I must tell you, never underestimate the will of any civilization to survive.]
