Chapter 179: The Eternal Calm, the Opening of the Full-Scale War

Yan Xia slept deeply for 50 hours, as he had been exhausted lately and had not slept for a single second for a whole month.

As the Federation grew, Ella's control over it weakened, so he had to go to some places to maintain order.

The biggest event that had recently occurred was probably the third wave of attack by the Silkworm Civilization.

The second wave of attack took place 1,000 years ago, when there were already signals indicating that the Silkworm Civilization would launch a full-scale attack. After 1,000 years, the Silkworm Civilization's main force finally arrived.

According to the probes, the number of spacecraft from the Silkworm Civilization exceeded 110,000, which was definitely a terrifying number.

To defend against the attack of the Silkworm Civilization, Yan Xia went to the front-line star domain, followed by Ella's accessory, which had the power to mobilize all the mechanical gods in the surrounding star systems.

Ella's accessory and the mechanical gods could help him deal with the details, but he still needed to consider the big picture.

The massive amount of data was placed in front of him, and he analyzed it meticulously day and night.

When all the data was in his hands, he saw that the data volume was 15.2YB. To put this into perspective, in 2020, the total data volume generated by the 8 billion people on Earth was only 44ZB, while 1YB is equal to 1024ZB, which means 15.2YB is equivalent to 1.7 billion billion GB of data.

Of course, he could not process all the data alone, as much of it was handled by Ella's accessory. However, the part he dealt with was 152EB, which was equivalent to 1632 billion GB of data.

Yan Xia felt that if he did not have the gene sequence and the small sub-brain in his body, he would have died long ago.

After waking up, he checked the time.

It was now the year 37110 AD, more than 10,000 years after the implementation of the Era Plan and the Death Screen Plan.

During these years, the Federation's technology continued to advance.

With the large-scale destruction of stars, the Federation had actually developed to the 2.3rd level in terms of energy, but the only aspect that had not improved was the weapons and defense systems, which had always been the Federation's weak point.

The sub-brain was an invention by a genius scholar who had risen through the Genius Arena, and it was essentially a small host placed in the brain.

The sub-brain had a high level of technology, achieving an extreme lightness of only 10g while possessing a computational power far beyond that of a regular home computer.

Here, the home computer was not the one from the 21st century, but the one currently used in the Federation, with the worst of them having a computational power equivalent to 1,000 times the total computational power of all computers on Earth in the 21st century.

The sub-brain brought more abilities to biological individuals, and its inventor had become a star of the Federation. However, the attention he received had already declined somewhat, as the sub-brain had been invented 2,800 years ago and had been around for a long time.

Over time, the computational power of the sub-brain, an extreme product, had only increased threefold, which was beyond imagination.

The only drawback of the sub-brain was its high power consumption, requiring it to be placed in a location capable of providing a large power output, with over 1 million kilowatts of current passing through the sub-brain via wireless technology.

For safety reasons, the sub-brain was usually installed in the arms or legs, which were far away from important organs.

It was precisely because of the sub-brain that Yan Xia was able to handle so many things.

However, he was still tired.

"Ella, has the Tianlian Number been deployed yet?" Yan Xia asked, even though he had just woken up and was still lying in bed, as the bed was too soft and had a built-in massage function.

Ella's voice responded.

"The Tianlian Number will arrive at the designated star domain in five hours."

"However, the enemy fleet has deviated from its course, and at this position, it will be blocked by a star."

Yan Xia retrieved the data and reviewed his judgment.

"The star has been taken into account, and we are going to fight the enemy in this star system. In deep space, we are at a disadvantage, so it is best to bring them into this star system."

"Here, you should see it, there are numerous asteroids in this star system, and these asteroids are not small. The enemy's battleship speed is clearly faster than ours, so we need to suppress their strengths."

"Furthermore, we do not have many high-power, long-range weapons, so it is best to avoid the enemy using large-scale, galaxy-level weapons to destroy our fleet. This will benefit our biological battleships and super-star insect nests."

"Later, our main strategy is to divide the large-scale enemy forces into smaller groups and then use our home-field advantage to destroy them one by one, in order to minimize our losses."

"You have already read the log of Probe Mission 172, right?"

Probe Mission C was a reconnaissance mission aimed at accurately obtaining information about the Silkworm Civilization.

More than 100,000 reconnaissance machines were sent out in the entire C Mission, all of which were small aircraft less than 1 meter in size. However, in a galaxy controlled by the Silkworm Civilization, the probes had already detected tens of thousands of battleships.

At first, Yan Xia thought that this might be a military stronghold of the Silkworm Civilization or a bridgehead for the Silkworm Civilization to launch a war against the Civilization Federation, with so many battleships gathered from various star systems.

But subsequent investigations revealed that Yan Xia was wrong, as every galaxy of the Silkworm Civilization possessed a large number of battleships.

According to Ella's analysis, this was a steady-state civilization.

Steady-state referred to the fact that their development had entered a relatively slow state, unlike the Civilization Federation, which was still in a state of rapid development.

If the Civilization Federation was likened to a developing country, then the Silkworm Civilization was undoubtedly a developed country, with everything tending towards stability, and many originally developing things entering a period of return, using this return to drive the progress and development of the entire civilization.

Hence, the Silkworm Civilization was able to stockpile a large number of battleships.

According to predictions, the total number of battleships of the Silkworm Civilization should be between 400,000 and 600,000, with only those exceeding 10,000 meters in size being counted.

The definition of battleships in the Civilization Federation had undergone several adjustments, with spacecraft less than 10,000 meters in size being classified as spacecraft, and those less than 2,000 meters in size being classified as star boats.

In the eyes of Yan Xia and Ella, this attack by the Silkworm Civilization was only a feint, not the real main force.

After the C Plan, the Silkworm Civilization had increased its vigilance in the star domain, and the Civilization Federation was unable to detect the specific movements of the Silkworm Civilization's battleships.

"Hmm, our number of battleships is much smaller than that of the Silkworm Civilization, which is our disadvantage."

"According to estimates, the total energy volume used by the Silkworm Civilization for military purposes is at least eight times higher than ours, which means the gap in combat power between us is at least eight times." Ella spoke about the analysis of energy.

Yan Xia nodded.

"So we have to divide them even more, and we cannot let them gather together to respond to the main force that has the ability to exist."

He looked up at the starry sky ceiling and said, "Another war is about to begin."

"Actually, I would rather see peaceful development, but unfortunately, peace between civilizations is a false proposition."

As he spoke these words, the full-scale war between the Civilization Federation and the Silkworm Civilization had already begun...
