Li Qingsong was fairly satisfied with this result.
Although it was only powerful at the current technological level, and he still did not know the enemy's Technological Level, he had nevertheless reached the limits of current technology.
It was just that the fuel consumption was a little too high.
As he guided the Mercury-class Battleship back, Li Qingsong sighed softly.
After only a few hours of combat, as much as fifty tons of fuel had already been exhausted.
Not only that, but several tons of bullets, shells, and Interstellar Missiles had been used up alongside it.
"This was just one battleship fighting for a few hours.
An interstellar war would require at least several hundred battleships, wouldn't it? And it would have to last months, maybe years?
Never mind the consumption over the entire course of the war. Just deploying five hundred battleships for a single battle would consume at least twenty-five thousand tons of fuel, along with several thousand tons of ammunition..."
Li Qingsong had always known the saying that war was fought with logistics, but he had never truly understood it before.
When the Expeditionary Force had wiped out the Strange Bird flock and consumed thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of combat supplies in one go, he had begun to understand the saying for himself.
But now, he realized that his understanding had still been far too shallow.
"Since combat supplies are consumed in such enormous quantities, the model of launching battleships from Luoshen Star's surface once war breaks out won't work."
Launching from Luoshen Star's surface into space first required accelerating to roughly one kilometer per second. That would obviously consume a huge amount of fuel.
"The best way would be to build a large Comprehensive Logistics Base in space.
When there is no
