The bone cylinder has enough to fire 50 bullets, which is enough to deal with the head of state and his personal guard. When inside a building, the head of state is only protected by two or three personal guards. Another advantage of this air-operated firearm is that it is silent. If controlled properly, it will not attract the attention of others.
Feng Jun began demonstrating how to use the gun. With a soft bang, an inconspicuous little hole immediately appeared on the ornament made of Wind Star plant. The toughness of this plant far exceeded that of the Wind Star People's bodies.
"Sir, how is it? The effect is alright, isn't it?"
"Indeed impressive. Where did Lord Feng get this? I doubt anyone would recognize it even if I brought it in directly."
"This was made by one of my skilled mechanics, sir. After you disassemble this weapon, you can take it into the presidential building in several trips. Given your status, I believe no one will dare to investigate. Then, assemble it and act when the opportunity arises."
"Alright, Lord Feng is wise and resourceful, we'll do as you say." The Minister of Industry readily agreed.
The battle between the Wind Master Wind Star warships has lasted for more than two months, with both sides suffering losses. The Wind Star fleet has been able to launch two-on-one attacks due to its numerical advantage. However, the Wind Master have better coordination, smoother battlefield communication, and thicker armor. In reality, the number of Wind Master lost is less than that of the Wind Star warships. More than 500,000 Wind Master have been destroyed in the past two months, while the Wind Star warships have lost more than 700,000.
The armor-piercing projectiles have only traveled a little over one-tenth of a light-year, and with the enemy's ten million warships already intercepting them, it's questionable whether the projectiles can even penetrate the defensive perimeter. Even if a small portion manages to break through, it won't be of much significance.
Earth Two, inside a massive cylindrical underground structure with a diameter of over 20 kilometers and a height of 3,000 meters, is the command center of the entire fleet. The entire inner wall of the cylindrical underground structure is divided into an operating room that is 2 meters high, 1 meter wide, and 3 meters deep. There are as many as 100 million of these operating rooms, but only more than 60 million are currently in use: 50 million for the Wind Master and 10 million for the Stealth Killer.
Each operator controls one warship, making the control room quite crowded. However, to ensure more precise control of the warships and allow commanders to direct each ship at any time, the crowded conditions are unavoidable. The operators are rotated every few hours. With a fleet size of 15 billion, training one or two hundred million operators is not a difficult task. To win this war, all warships will be manually controlled.
At the center of the circular building is the command center, where tens of millions of commanders break down the orders of high-ranking generals such as Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua and send them to operators in various regions, achieving high efficiency in command. Then it's time for each general to showcase their command skills.
The four commanders divided the battlefield into four zones. Zones one and two were respectively led by Yang Fan and Chen Peng, these two lieutenant generals who had followed Hu Yu the longest, having grown up in the Earth era. Their combat strategies were influenced by Hu Yu, favoring a steady and methodical approach while also boldly creating opportunities—a style of advance through stability. Li Zhixiong still relied on his old methods, but now he was commanding not tens or hundreds of thousands of warships, but ten million. The human brain is, after all, only human; he couldn't possibly attend to every single one of ten million warships simultaneously. He could only subdivide the battlefield into a thousand smaller zones, creating various openings to lure the Wind Star warships into traps, then seizing the opportunity to destroy them. Gao Jianchuan was the most educated of the four. Compared to Li Zhixiong's cleverness, Gao Jianchuan's command of battle was like a master player in Go—a grand strategy that even Hu Yu sometimes couldn't understand, leading the enemy to believe victory was in sight, only to strike at the crucial moment, making the enemy realize that everything before was just an illusion.
In situations where the enemy and our forces are not evenly matched, the fact that we were able to achieve a 1:1 kill ratio is partly due to the four-dimensional communication network and partly due to the command talents of these generals.
However, the situation on the battlefield is slowly deteriorating. One of the reasons is that the antimatter reserves of the Wind Star warships far exceed those of the Wind Master. Even after more than 400 years of full-scale production in the JD3 Planetary System, each Wind Master can only be allocated ten kilograms of antimatter. Now, it is clear that the antimatter reserves of the Wind Star warships are several times higher than those of the Wind Master.
In combat, antimatter is usually launched in units of 50 grams or 100 grams, meaning that the Wind Master has a maximum of 200 chances. Once the antimatter is exhausted, only gravity bombs and high-energy laser beams remain. However, antimatter is more destructive and has greater killing power.
The Wind Star warship struck by antimatter was immediately blasted with a hole hundreds of meters in diameter, followed by a chain of explosions, before it retreated from the battlefield in a burst of fire. As for the grandeur of the battlefield, it was actually quite unremarkable. Any two warships were separated by tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and the explosions were less bright than the stars in the night sky. The warships on both sides were more like hunters, lurking in the darkness searching for prey; only when a warship appeared nearby and was detected by various devices could the other be identified.
The vast distances and high-speed maneuvers involved make it extremely difficult to hit enemy warships, which is why interstellar wars can last for decades or even centuries. However, fighting within the territory of a civilized nation is different. The defending side must assemble to protect the planet's safety, while the attacking side can only assemble to fight back, and the battle will end in a short time.
"Dad, Uncle Zhonghua." That evening, Hu Yunhang sent a message. Hu Yu and Wen Zhonghua were directing the battle in the command center. Only two of the four commanders were still fighting. Humans needed to rest, so they could only assign tasks and hand them over to the commanders on night duty. Only Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua persisted in working 18-hour shifts every day.
" Yunhang, what's up?"
"Dad, Uncle Zhonghua, I've been here for five months now, and I haven't found the so-called S378 Civilization. In the past two months, I've spread out the fleet to search all the star systems within a two-hundred-light-year radius, but I haven't found a Planet-Level Star System-Level Civilization one."
"Okay, I understand. Continue to expand the search area. If the S378 Civilization is not found within 500 light-years, turn back and pursue us. Remember, be careful."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
After ending the call, Hu Yu frowned, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant. The location of the S378 Civilization shouldn't have such a large error. Hu Yunhang's search, centered on the target coordinates, covered an area of two hundred light-years, which is a space with a diameter of over 400 light-years. If it were Star System-Level Civilization, it would be impossible for them to have failed to find any trace of it.
"It Zhonghua that the Wind Star Civilization might be much more intelligent than we thought."
" Old Hu, what do we do now?"
"Continue the attack; there's no other way now."
" Old Li."
"General, what is it?" Old Li was not resting at the moment either, because Feng Jun was not resting either. At this moment, Feng Jun was next to the leader, discussing various matters related to the war with a group of ministers.
" Old Li, start the rebellion immediately, the sooner the better."
"Yes, General, I am ready and can move out at any time."
