Chapter 700, Absent-minded

A military meeting is being held on the Jinguan.

Those attending the meeting were leaders of all parties in the Human Empire Coalition.

The topic they discussed was how to deal with the remaining Zerg in the Princess Star Region and even in the surrounding star regions.

Disabled insect swarms also need to be cleaned up.

It is estimated that a lot of Burning Sky torpedoes will be used later, especially in the Princess Star Region.

According to the estimates of the General Staff, they will conservatively burn nearly two hundred more worlds.

In particular, the closer a world is to Readuches, the more likely it is to be burned by the Burning Sky Torpedo.

To eliminate as many Zerg as possible as quickly as possible is just one of the reasons; to completely burn the planet into a dead world, forming a dead world isolation zone consisting of one or two hundred worlds around the Rheaduches galaxy.

History has proven that this dead silence isolation zone is of great significance in fighting against the Zerg. The Zerg that emerges from the black hole in the void will not be able to find anything to eat for a very long time, which means that they will not get any supplies and cannot multiply.

As long as the observation station is built and the news of the Zerg invasion can be sent out in advance, humans will have enough time to assemble troops to deal with the invading Zerg before the Zerg passes through this dead zone.

As long as the Zerg swarm is not "full" and is not allowed to multiply, then generally speaking, the Zerg troops that have just emerged from the "void black hole" are still easy to deal with.

The swarm of insects, which had already been extremely hungry after a long conventional voyage, would be the easiest to deal with if they could no longer get food.

If we allow them to occupy some planets with a population base and eat them up, it will become increasingly difficult to deal with us.

In short, no matter how large the swarm of insects emerging from the 'Void Black Hole' is, the best stage to deal with them is when they just emerge.

Prolong their hunger as much as possible, and defeat them when they are hungry with the least cost.

This is from the perspective of war.

From the perspective of a larger macro-war, another benefit is that the Zerg will be able to "smell" the scent from a distance.

They can sense whether there is food at the target location.

When encountering this kind of dead silence isolation zone, the Void Zerg will generally try one or two more times, or even simply give up without even trying.

In order to create these deathly silence isolation zones, Gu Hang has already applied to Holy Terra for the allocation of more Extinction Order weapons.

At the very least, more artillery shells should be allocated, and naval guns should be used to carry out long-term bombardment, which is the most crude way of executing the extermination order, to create a dead and silent world.

Of course, this would take a long time, and the shells would be very expensive - perhaps even more expensive than a Burning Sky torpedo.

But there is no other way. The latter is very technically difficult and the production speed is limited. If there is really no product and it is needed, we can only use the old-fashioned method.

It is also necessary to build space stations and observation points on some dead worlds, all of which require resources and garrisons.

In addition to the more than 200 worlds that were confirmed to be extinct, there were another 200 worlds in the Princess Star Region. All of them were inhabited by disabled Zergs, and there were almost no living people.

However, the planet itself is a high-quality resource.

As long as the world has not been devoured particularly badly, it is still worth recolonizing.

Recolonization, that's the way to take back these swarms of disabled insects.

At first, there might be hundreds of thousands or millions of people, taking over a settlement and then developing it on their own; as the population grows, more and more resources are needed, so there will be a plan to expand outward. The threat of disabled Zerg is very low, so just take your time. After a few decades or even a hundred years, when the population scale reaches tens of millions, the disabled Zerg will probably be wiped out.

The cost of doing so is the lowest. The risk is that if a Zerg fleet emerges from the void wormhole at this time, not to mention a queen, even if there is a hive overlord, it may directly connect these disabled Zerg swarms to the Internet again.

That would be great fun.

Therefore, this strategy can only be used on planets with relatively low risks, far away from void black holes, or with small swarms.

For some high-risk planets, we have to send troops to clean them up to a certain extent before re-colonizing them.

The coalition does not need to do the work of re-colonization. That is the job of the governor who will take over the Princess Star Domain later.

But in advance, whether it was executing the extermination order, determining which worlds needed military intervention and sending troops to deal with them, or even leaving Readuches and sailing at sub-light speed to annihilate the disabled Zerg fleet that was on the support route and still half a year's sailing distance from Readuches...all these tasks had to be carried out by the troops.

This is the final finishing work of the entire battle.

This military meeting was held to discuss this aspect.

To put it more bluntly, it is about assigning tasks.

However, at the meeting, everyone was a little bored and absent-minded.

Also normal.

Cleanup work is important, but doing it after the decisive battle is meaningless and it is difficult to achieve any outstanding results.

It’s normal for you to have similar emotions.

What's more, the background of this meeting is also very special.

Literally background.

Rhea Duchess, exploded.

It literally exploded.

Even for the experienced generals, most of them had never seen such a scene before.

Everyone knows that extinction weapons such as the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer exist, but they are basically legendary.

Not only because it is rare and extremely expensive, but also because it is too extreme.

If you want to issue an extinction order, you can just wipe out all the life on the planet and be done with it. Why is there a need to blow up the entire planet?
But I have to say that such a scene is truly spectacular.

No sound could be heard in the universe, but one could see that the planet they had been fighting for for more than half a year was shattered into countless pieces with a loud bang.

Under the explosion, the planet turned into a violent ball of light. The countless fragments, the largest of which formed asteroids and were thrown far away; the smaller ones were probably just the most basic atomic and molecular structures, forming gaseous light bands, fog, dust...surrounding the original planet, forming long light bands one after another - in fact, they were all high-speed moving particles.

The planet expanded in an instant, and after the star-like light of the explosion briefly dissipated, it turned into a colorful zone.

Perhaps after countless years, these materials thrown away during the explosion of the planet will be reorganized into a new planet under the action of gravity. But at least for now, it is still a beautiful, beautiful, colorful, and extremely varied celestial structure.

Looking at such a "beautiful view", of course I would be distracted if the meeting was meaningless.
