CHAPTER 558: CHAPTER 557: EXPLOSIVE NEWS!
The three great civilizations of the Pure Element Camp were also eager to know the reasons, so they decided to listen to the self-narrative of the Commander-in-chief.
After listening to the self-narrative of the Commander-in-chief, the Pure Element stellar group, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization finally learned the reason why the war was not as smooth as imagined.
According to the Commander-in-chief, the main reason is logistics, which can be broken down into two specific parts.
One is the reserve forces; although the civilizations within the Pure Element Camp have been frantically constructing Battle Stars, and the logistics can be considered quite impressive, their efficiency and results are not as good as those of the gongchan (communist) Camp.
This is because the Commander-in-chief observed that the gongchan Camp only produces Neutrino Battle Stars of the Degenerate Civilization, which are very difficult to deal with. Meanwhile, the three great civilizations of the Pure Element Camp each produce their own kind, failing to form a unified coordination and united front. Initially, the gongchan Camp had only a portion of the Degenerate Civilization’s Neutrino Battle Stars, which the Pure Element Camp could handle with ease. However, as the gongchan Camp’s Battle Stars were successively deployed to the battlefield, more and more Neutrino Battle Stars began to appear, significantly increasing the difficulty of annihilating the forces of the Pure Element Camp Alliance.
This point is clearly visible from a set of data.
At the beginning of the war, the loss ratio between the gongchan Camp and the Pure Element Camp was 1:3. However, at this moment, the loss ratio has widened to 1:15; in other words, to destroy a Battle Star of the gongchan Camp now, the Pure Element Camp needs to sacrifice 15 ordinary Battle Stars, whereas in the past, only 3 were needed.
Furthermore, this is not even the peak value. As there are still some old Battle Stars from the gongchan Camp on the battlefield, such as Molecular Battle Stars, Source Material Battle Stars, Constant Star Avatars, etc., once these old Battle Stars are completely eliminated, the battlefield will be filled with Neutrino Battle Stars. At that time, the loss ratio between them is expected to further widen, possibly exceeding the current difference of 50 times the number of Battle Stars, meaning that the loss ratio could soar to over 1:50!
"However, our mass-to-volume ratio is much higher than that of the gongchan Camp, and we should produce more reserve forces than the adversary. Even if the loss ratio widens, we should still hold the advantage and achieve victory," said the Black Hole Civilization, expressing its opinion and standpoint.
The Commander-in-chief stated that this is not the case; indeed, their volume seems much larger, but their efficiency is not high, at least not as high as that of the gongchan Camp. The gongchan Camp has all hands on deck, with the entire civilization society operating at high speed, like a finely tuned social machine, whereas not everyone is working in their Pure Element System—there’s a large part of the ruling group and upper class still indulging in pleasure and unwilling to contribute.
Moreover, the gap in reserve force output is also critically determined by the types of Battle Stars each side produces.
Their three civilizations manufacture according to their own previous technologies, belonging to macroscopic Battle Stars, which have an unresolved issue, that is, the process of planetary formation. Even with the technology of a level five civilization, it’s impossible to create something out of nothing instantly; there is still a required production time.
However, the gongchan Camp is clever; they produce Neutrino Battle Stars on the microscopic level, which are extremely small in size and don’t require the accumulation of matter, meeting requirements instantly. It only needs more advanced technology, but once this area of technology makes a breakthrough, forming a mature industrial chain, then producing Battle Stars is indeed as easy as making dumplings, one after another, continuously.
These two factors are why there is such a significant gap in reserve force production.
The second key part affecting the war is military tactics. Due to the inability to achieve unified coordination among the three civilizations, even as the supreme commander of the armed forces, he was unable to design tactics suitable for three types of different Battle Stars, especially in such a short amount of time.
Looking at the gongchan Camp, in contrast,
they uniformly produce only one type of Battle Star, and as the old Battle Stars are eliminated, the application of gongchan Camp tactics will become even simpler and more effective, which also increases the number of casualties in the Pure Element Camp during the war.
Finally, the Commander-in-chief concluded his view that it is the logistics efficiency of the Pure Element Camp that is not as outstanding as that of the gongchan Camp, leading to a stark contrast in providing continuous support of reserve forces and reducing current force losses. And because the war cannot be resolved, this gap will only grow larger and larger!
"Are you suggesting that our destroying the gongchan Camp’s Battle Stars actually helps them?" asked the Black Hole Civilization in doubt.
The Commander-in-chief explained, "Not exactly. Even if we don’t destroy them, they can gradually withdraw old Battle Stars once they have enough Neutrino Battle Stars, so this is an unsolvable issue."
"Is there really no way to solve this? Can’t we learn from their model?" The Antimatter Civilization, recognizing the true nature of the war and learning that the situation was not as good as it appeared on the surface, began to worry.
The Commander-in-chief sarcastically said, "They managed to form this model not out of thin air, but with foundational conditions supporting it. If we want to learn from their successful model, it would inevitably involve their foundational systems and the problems they encountered in their development. That is to say, we might have to transform the Pure Element System into the gongchan system to possibly succeed; otherwise, their model is not suitable for our national conditions, and we will only end up with failure."
"If we want to learn their model, don’t we have to learn their system?! That’s absolutely impossible!" The Pure Element stellar group sternly rejected this wicked suggestion.
However, after this incident, some wavering did occur within the Pure Element Camp.
Amidst the intense discussions among the Pure Element stellar group, Antimatter Civilization, and Black Hole Civilization, they received a highly explosive message.
This message was transmitted by the Wandering Alliance of the gongchan Camp, "Pure Element Camp, it’s not possible for you to win the war in a short time, we advise you to join our gongchan Camp instead, at least to save us time to deal with the crisis of wave recoil. Of course, the reason we proactively sent this message is not merely to persuade you but to inform you that we have found a way to compensate for the loss of Cosmic Material, which is highly likely to sustain the universal cycle. If you want to continue to survive, there is only one path for you—to join us."
The first half of the message was disregarded, but the second half was indeed very explosive.
Upon hearing it, the three great civilizations of the Pure Element Camp were so surprised that they blew their top, which indicated two meanings: one was shock, and the other was doubt.
The Pure Element stellar group, Antimatter Civilization, and Black Hole Civilization are all level five civilizations with rich experience and would certainly not be naïve enough to easily believe the one-sided lies of the Wandering Alliance.
