"Lin Fan, with all the materials we currently have, we can only manufacture around 240 Black Hole Mimicry Devices in total. Are you sure you want to use 178 of them on Chaos Ray Carriers—and use them as one-time consumables?"
After hearing Lin Fan's plan, Luo Li's eyes widened in the communication.
Just as she had said, Black Hole Mimicry Devices were extremely difficult to manufacture. Even after searching every region the Alliance could reach, the core materials they had found were only enough to produce 240 sets.
That alone showed just how precious these devices were.
Yet Lin Fan had told her that he wanted to use 178 of them on Chaos Ray Carriers?
Weren't those things always kept safely in the rear, or protected by layer upon layer of fleets? What was he planning by installing Black Hole Mimicry Devices on them?
What made Luo Li want to cough up blood most was what Lin Fan told her next.
All 178 Chaos Ray Carriers were intended to be used as one-time consumables. In other words, they would self-destruct after firing.
Luo Li had nearly exploded.
However, after hearing Lin Fan's reasoning, she understood.
In Lin Fan's words, it was simple.
The Alliance needed time, and the Federation needed even more time. Although the Dasaross Empire would likely not reach the Meridian Valley Route for several centuries, perhaps even a thousand years.
But—
As long as they could severely cripple it along the Meridian Valley Route, then wipe out the crippled Dasaross Empire expeditionary fleet, the Federation would gain nearly another 2,000 years to develop.
To ensure that happened, the chain of ambushes along the Meridian Valley Route was an indispensable step.
And to carry out those chain ambushes, these 178 Black Hole Mimicry Devices were indispensable.
Even if
