EVE: Starting with a Space Station - Chapter 568
c557 resource gap
“New Eden’s new commander Gutu fought ten enemies alone, annihilated seven enemy super flagship fleets, crippled and defeated three super flagship fleets, and tied up a large number of enemy fleets, which bought a lot of time for friendly forces to attack the city.
As a remnant of humble origin, he became a popular senior commander in New Eden in just a few years and became one of the top leaders of New Eden.”
In the Abyss Space, World Ark.
Mu Yunyan looked at the article published by Xingshi Huanyu on the war in the Eastern Star Region and couldn’t help but smack her lips.
The whole article praised Gutu’s achievements, and even described his life from birth to now. It felt like getting a script of a big male protagonist.
When he was young, his civilization was destroyed and he became a remnant of the grass and trees; at the age of sixteen, he organized his own resistance army and fought against the civilizations in the Eastern Star Region; at the age of 28, he joined New Eden with his resistance army, and then completed the revenge of civilization in half a year, and then became one of the senior decision-makers of a huge force in just one year.
Now he has won endless reputation in this war. After all, there are many battles where the weak defeated the strong, but most of them were achieved through various conspiracies and tricks.
Gutu won a fair victory on the front battlefield with one against ten, which is why he was reported so extensively by Xingshi Huanyu.
It’s nothing else, it’s too explosive!
Mu Yunyan looked at the article and couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Estamel Tel who was also staring at the article.
“Sister E, did your man give money to Xingshi Huanyu? This report is so outrageous!”
Estamel Tel rolled his eyes at Mu Yunyan: “Get out, your man!”
Now the two of them are at most good comrades, with an ambiguous relationship but they just haven’t broken the window paper, and more importantly, Estamel Tel is not ready yet.
Looking at the two people bickering, Shangguan Qianqian elegantly refilled their cups with a cup of tea, then slowly sipped it and said, “Don’t be so rude, you two. We have too many resources looted now. You should send a fleet to send them back home.”
During this period of time, their harvest has been very rich. Now all kinds of resources are almost filling up the warehouse of the World Ark. It’s time to transport them back.
Mu Yunyan and Estamel Tel looked at each other, and then nodded to Shangguan Qianqian at the same time.
During this period of time, Shi Man was in pain and happiness.
Because after the order to expand the army was issued, the fleets of the four empires were rapidly expanding. At present, the number of the Emma Empire’s imperial navy has been expanded to the 16th Army Group.
Because of the expansion of the army, the original organization has also been changed. Originally, a single super flagship fleet was used as the corps number, but now the army group organization has been added on this basis, and each army group has five super flagship fleets.
In terms of fleet numbers, the current Imperial Navy is already more than four times the size of the entire Emma Empire fleet, not to mention the Imperial Crusaders!
According to Shi Man’s idea, the Emma Empire and the Gallente Empire must each have at least one thousand super flagship fleets before the war, and two hundred army groups each, because only in this way can absolute revenge be achieved.
As long as his strength is strong enough, then no matter what the attitude of the Angel Civilization or the Justice Order is, Shi Man can ignore it and concentrate on completing revenge, without having to consider whether the friendly forces will be frustrated or not!
But the bad news is that such a huge military expansion plan has made the entire New Eden resources very scarce. The output of resources and the resources plundered cannot meet the needs, which has greatly affected the military expansion plan.
Shi Man also had the idea of borrowing some from the Angel Civilization, but when he thought that the Angels and even the entire Justice Order were expanding their armies to prepare for the final decisive battle, all supplies were in short supply, so he didn’t ask for it.
We have to think of other ways to do this!
“Ola!”
As soon as the words fell, Ola’s figure appeared silently beside Shi Man and silently saluted Shi Man.
“My Lord, you are looking for me?”
Shi Man nodded, and while going to the wine cabinet to get the fat house happy water, he asked: “Ola, how long can the current resources of New Eden last?”
Ola quickly checked the relevant data and replied: “My Lord, the current early industrial zone has been completed, and the first batch of warships has also begun to be built. According to the existing resources and consumption, our remaining resources can still last for about a month!”
Because a large-scale expansion requires enough warships, the first step of this expansion is to build more flagship construction facilities to ensure the supply of warships.
And almost all of New Eden’s early investment is included in this.
“Can only support half a month?”
Shi Man frowned when he heard this. This amount of resources cannot reach his expected goal!
Ola nodded.
“Yes, at present, New Eden’s resource production capacity has been squeezed to the limit, but it is still unable to complete the supply, and the resources plundered by the fleet from the enemy are also gradually decreasing. The situation is not optimistic.”
After all, the pirate forces of New Eden have been plundering the Freedom Camp too much and too obviously. The enemy will naturally pay attention to this aspect and will not give New Eden a good opportunity to plunder resources.
Unless the Fortress Space is directly attacked like the Sky Serpent Group, it will be difficult to get resources.
Shi Man thought about it and continued, “Aura, let Shangguan Qianqian and Xuehua Weiska carry out large-scale development of the controlled star field. Any additional resources are better.”
“I have already given them relevant orders. At present, the relevant resource development is under construction and is expected to be fully operational in half a month.”
Aura is naturally very clear about the situation in New Eden, so he asked the two to prepare early.
Although the Three Gods and the Free Drones control the fertile central star field, there are only thirteen star fields in total, which cannot fully meet the needs of New Eden.
Therefore, Shi Man has to find a way to open up new sources of resources!
Looking at Shi Man who was frowning, Ola stepped forward and said with his head down: “My Lord, the friendly forces of the Justice Order are also actively preparing for war. Should we take this opportunity to trade arms and exchange resources?”
Currently, because of Vibr Elena’s actions after announcing the election, the entire Justice Order is also actively preparing for war. In addition to basic resources, the most popular items are various warships and equipment.
This is also a good opportunity for New Eden to earn resources!
