I Really Didn t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 718: Chapter 440: Born in the Universe, Life as Insignificant as Grass 【6200 words】_4

Staying in the rear was not due to fearing death or craving life, but rather because the rear factories and researchers were needed, or perhaps they were reserve soldiers, on standby, ready to be deployed to the battlefield at any moment.

Born in the universe, life is as fragile as grass.

Some people may never leave a particular planet their entire life, but the equipment they produce will traverse thousands of light years and play a vital role in the distant reaches of the empire’s territory.

Countless individuals make up an era, and yet the era will always change every person.

Each individual, in the face of the boundlessly vast whole civilization, is both insignificant and majestic.

This was the new universal worldview formed by the Orion Arm Galactic Humans in this larger thinking cocoon, who have seen a broader world and have a deeper understanding of the enemy, through constantly comprehending the spirit of saving the world.

In short, the sole purpose of the Morrowind Empire’s military leaders investing heavily in Barnard’s Star was to establish an overwhelmingly numerical superiority in the region, striving to crush the enemy fleet as quickly as possible, and capture enemy ships for disassembly analysis.

When Harrison Clark saw the stellar map of troop distribution projected by Scarlett, he was shocked by the scene that filled almost half of the planetary system.

Truly omnipresent, like a river of stars.

The lateral movement of the human naval vessels and war fortresses could even vaguely drag Barnard’s Star, a small mass red dwarf, to change its position.

Natural planets even need to establish massive planetary-scale force field shields to prevent gravitational disturbances causing crustal plate movement and tsunamis.

From this majestic scene, Harrison Clark could feel humanity’s determination.

The strongest Barnard’s Star Fleet was classified as tier one.

There were nine fleets of the second tier, slightly smaller in scale, with 300 billion participating personnel.

The main task of the second-tier fleets was to probe the enemy’s strength as much as possible while preserving their effective forces.

Of course, if the opportunity arose, they would also strive to annihilate the enemy.

The third-tier fleets totaled ninety, with 30 billion participating personnel for each, whose main task was to retain their strength and hold the enemy’s advance.

In the first round of the contact war, the humans deployed 6.4 trillion personnel in total.

In addition, both the core and developing region factories were already operating at full capacity, continuously producing warships and other equipment.

In countless research institutes across various fields, scholars were not only struggling to make key breakthroughs on their existing technological paths but also waited solemnly for frontline intelligence to be ready to invest in new areas of research at any time.

Reserve troops were also ready to be deployed.

Currently, the total number of human reserve troops reached as high as ten trillion, ranging from rank-and-file soldiers to mid-to-high-level officers.

At the same time, tens of trillions of young people with certain talents, aged from twenty to over a hundred years old, began taking leave to receive professional military training.

These young people had already undergone non-professional military training. Usually working as laborers, they became soldiers in wartime. Now, with intensified training and a chance to be on the battlefield, they could at least put up a fight, even if not as elite warriors.

Lastly, the mass artificial cultivation plan for new soldiers had already begun.

The largest group of artificially cultivated reserve soldiers was about to turn twenty years old and reach adulthood.

Except for those children who showed exceptional intelligence from a young age and were selected for other positions, most of them received military training since childhood. If they had the chance to be on the battlefield, they probably wouldn’t be any worse than elite soldiers.

In a word, humans were always ready to mobilize and had made all the preparations for a protracted war.

Everything seemed infinitely promising; however, even though the preparations had been pushed to the extreme, the outlook for this war was anything but optimistic.

All was within Harrison Clark’s expectations.

The Compound Eye Prism Ship displayed overwhelming technological superiority.

The Compound-Eyed Observer’s understanding of cosmic gravitational lines was far beyond human comparison.

In the human navigation system, there might be only one gravitational line in front of them that could enter supercurved motion, but through the eyes of the Compound-Eyed Observer, it was a tangled web.

Humans’ marching routes were always within the Compound-Eyed Observer’s traffic network, yet the Compound-Eyed Observer could always appear from unexpected positions unknown to humans.

In terms of mobility, humans were thoroughly defeated.

As a result, the powerful methods carefully prepared by humans could not hit the enemy ships at all, and they couldn’t even see the taillights.

Utilizing its mobility advantage, the Compound Eye Prism Ship applied the same tactics, connecting the battlefield with a grid of links, sending an endless stream of Blade Mantis into the meat grinder, and occasionally firing white light beams to sweep through, gradually attriting the humans’ living forces without damage.

Humans were powerless against the Compound Eye Prism Ship’s space freezing and energy shield as well.

In these seven months, humanity suffered heavy losses, and their death rate was astonishing.

Harrison Clark had already guessed the outcome, but the process was still extremely painful for him.
