Chapter 644 Captured

The battle on the oasis star has never stopped for a moment, and it has been several months in the blink of an eye.
During these months, both sides have been in a constant tug-of-war around themes such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, strong attacks and stubborn defense.
The compound eye slave clan also carried out an analysis of the plasma magnetic storm, but also encountered the difficulty of communication interruption. They always encountered the harassment of human new material small-scale combat units, which repeatedly destroyed the scientific research work of the compound eye slave clan.
At the same time, the compound eye slave tribe quickly assembled forces time and time again, at all costs, to launch an assault on the Sky Cavern. However, they were all repelled by the increasingly complete defense fortifications inside the Sky Cavern, as well as the geographical advantage of the plasma magnetic storm, and a large number of combat units were kept out.
In the history of human space warfare, such a peculiar situation has never been seen before.
A large population is clustered near a celestial body, rooted in a relatively small space, facing an enemy force several times their own, not only not fleeing, but instead holding their ground.
The combat style of the compound eye slave tribe did not surprise the human commanders, everything was under the strategic guidance of Zhou Donglai and Andrei.
This is not some prophetic divine calculation, but rather the result of the current level of technological development of the human race.
精准的情报工作，完善的统筹规划，提前完成的命运公约动员，注定了战局只能按照人类既定战略的方向前进。
决定战略成功的核心因素有下面几大方向。
First, through the previous technical analysis, the human fleet has determined the characteristics of the plasma-magnetic storm. Ordinary human ships cannot pass through, and the ships of the compound-eyed slaves are also unable to do so. This is not groundless talk, but a comprehensive judgment made by the Strategic Planning Department of the Nameless Fleet after considering a large amount of combat experience between the compound-eyes and the slaves over a long period of time, which is both statistically and logically sound.
Secondly, those who arrive early and complete the research work in a timely manner have an absolute advantage in the development of new materials. This advantage continues to grow as the conflict time extends, because humans have created more and more intelligent war machines and artificial combat units that can freely shuttle through the plasma magnetic storm. Human understanding of the characteristics of the plasma magnetic storm is deepening at an extremely fast pace. Where there are abnormally high energy reactions, what are the signs of a high-level storm outbreak, and the statistical direction of the strong disturbing and destructive turbulence... Each of these parameters has become a weapon in the hands of humans.
Thirdly, the long-term escape life has indeed caused huge psychological pressure on the human fleet, almost to the point of collapse. But after enduring hardships, humanity has created the Covenant of Destiny to self-restrain and unify group consciousness. Now, finally having the opportunity to settle down and engage in a positional battle with the enemy is truly inspiring. The tens of millions of men, women, and children in the United Fleet represent not only their predecessors, but also themselves, and will never let go of this long-awaited opportunity for a direct confrontation after two and a half centuries of waiting. The United Fleet has ushered in the most determined and cohesive action in the history of human civilization, with the strongest will and the most unified concept of total mobilization.
Under the push of various factors, although there have been many dangerous situations near Tian cave, human beings have finally managed to withstand them.
However, the compound eyes seem to have seen through the human's plan and are determined to annihilate the joint fleet here.
Within a spherical area of over a thousand light years in radius near here, a large fleet of compound eye slave clans stopped patrolling, or decisively abandoned their current target? They began to converge on the oasis star like the sea.
In the past four or five months, there has been a new compound eye fleet arriving almost every two to three days.
The other side is continuing to escalate, attempting to overwhelm the joint fleet with a strategy of adding fuel to build up an absolute numerical advantage.
However, such a situation is also within the expectations of humans, and the solution is straightforward - just face it head on.
On the one hand, continue to strengthen the defense fortifications of Tian Dong? The third phase project has already started.
On the other hand, some small teams also began to come here, with a frequency not as high as the other side, but still averaging one human small team arriving every four to five days. These small teams have already completed the ship refitting and equipment upgrades using the scientific information shared by the joint fleet on the way, and have also absorbed a large amount of battlefield intelligence for immediate use.
Even though the fuel capacity of the compound eye army is larger than that of the human joint fleet, the quality of human fuel is better. Although the balance of power has always been biased towards the opponent's advantage, the joint fleet has stabilized its posture in the seemingly precarious situation.
Finally, the increasingly massive Oasis fleet is also constantly tapping into its potential and starting to implement more extreme measures of explosive warfare potential that were previously impossible.
The first? The second phase of the population explosion plan.
Prior to this? The unknown fleet had already strictly implemented the first phase population explosion plan for more than twenty years, with typical schemes including the formulation of a complete artificial embryo cultivation plan, the implementation of a program combining autonomous selection and gene optimization pairing, and efficient utilization of egg cells to turn each healthy egg cell into an embryo. The previous population expansion index basically followed this pattern.
Now the Oasis Fleet has taken their approach to an even more extreme level. They are artificially intervening before the first, second, and third cell divisions of each mature embryo, creating multiple identical siblings. On average, each new embryo can be transformed into at least 5.7 identical siblings. This clearly goes against the "humanitarianism" of peacetime, and those responsible for implementing this strategy within the Joint Fleet, including Andrey in the future, will inevitably be criticized by the world, but at this moment, no one cares.
The plan is not aimed at the current military strength, but at utilizing the relatively stable environment and extremely rich energy and resources within the Oasis Star to achieve rapid population expansion and to be prepared for the future ten years ahead.
Second, the immortal plan. Improve the combat plan, using top warriors and elite pilots as the core framework, establishing battlefield rescue teams to increase the survival rate of warriors. In the past, the main policy of the Unknown Fleet was to escape, and the combat zone has always been in flux. If a warrior was injured but not killed on the battlefield, there was basically no way to rescue them. But now that humans have the advantage of Green Oasis, they can hold their ground and no longer engage in guerrilla warfare, but rather positional warfare. Human warriors can finally rescue their comrades who have lost their mobility and bring them back.
This team, called the Rescue Team, is actually a highly elite group of special operatives that play a crucial role on the battlefield. They never seek out combat, but frantically shuttle back and forth, following the signals from the escape pods, to drag one wounded comrade after another to safety.
The average number of deployments per soldier has skyrocketed from 2.7 in the past to 11.8. And as the professional capabilities of the rescue team continue to improve, the survival skills of the soldiers are also increasing, with this number continuing to rise. The so-called average number of deployments refers to how many times a soldier has been deployed and how many times they have completed a mission before being killed.
The current highest record holder of the Nameless Fleet is Tong Ling, who has participated in more than 9,000 battles, but the average number of battles per person in the entire fleet is only 2.7, indicating the heavy casualties. The Oasis Alliance Fleet has turned 2.7 into 11.8, which is equivalent to inflating the limited war resources by 4.37 times.
Andrei emphasized in his speech to the entire army that the Immortality Plan has become the main policy of the Joint Fleet. The Joint Fleet will continue to improve its equipment and tactical thinking, and within two years, it will increase its combat participation from 11.8 to 100 times, or even more.
Third, utilize the unique and abundant mineral resources within the Oasis Star, and improve equipment performance based on practical conditions. This includes quickly upgrading the intelligence performance, creating more and better offline sub-brains, and gaining higher advantages for smart weapons in the plasma magnetic storm. At the same time, the outdated Forged Armor is finally completely eliminated, and the performance surpasses the latest upgraded Forged Armor, the new Xuan Yuan Battle Armor, is officially launched.
The Xuanyuan Battle Armor is 33 meters tall and has a mechanical structure with variable deformation function. It has comprehensive performance advantages in terms of speed, firepower index, off-line informationization function, energy stability, overload capacity, etc., which completely overwhelms the Furguard Armor. With the support of the unique resources of Oasis Star, it can be mass-produced on a large scale.
……
From the overall situation, in the past few months, the joint fleet has made more than thirty major adjustments to the system, allowing the proud war potential of mankind to be fully unleashed.
From details, at the end of 2944, a young man surnamed Zheng emerged on the scene.
At the age of only 21, Zheng Chenglong started as a regular combatant and quickly rose to the rank of colonel in just a few months.
His light is too dazzling.
Zheng Chenglong is a survivor of the original 10881 fleet.
When the captain and the sixteen warriors sacrificed themselves, Zheng Chenglong, only six years old at the time, had just started to come into contact with the armored, and was just a D-class combatant. He was injured in an early battle and retreated to the second line, becoming a driver in the sprout ship.
At the age of only six, he watched in horror as the old captain and other young comrades sacrificed themselves to protect the retreat. His mental trauma was severe, and for many years he could not recover. His progress was slow, and he has been receiving psychological intervention. He has never set foot on the battlefield again.
When the Oasis Star War just started, he was just a very mediocre C-level combatant.
Under tremendous external pressure, Zheng Chenglong, who was already 21 years old, watched one teammate after another go and never return. Finally, he volunteered to join the death squad again, thinking it would be better to die once and for all.
Unexpectedly, he who once sought death with all his heart has instead undergone a transformation, as if a martial arts prodigy suddenly broke through the Ren and Du channels.
Two months after the start of the war, he reached b-level.
Three and a half months later, he reached a-level.
After six months, he reached S level.
By the eighth month, he had fought in fewer than one hundred battles, officially crossing the threshold of an S-level combatant and becoming a top-notch warrior, with his personal abilities continuing to rise.
He possesses strong mental control, adaptability, and an incredible ability to influence others' emotions.
The soldiers in the special forces team led by him often unleash more of their potential under his lead in the charge.
As his position continued to rise, his responsibilities became increasingly significant, and he gradually began to demonstrate excellent on-the-spot decision-making abilities.
He began to realize that he should be responsible for the lives of his comrades, to the point where he unconsciously developed a sharp instinct and intuition for small-scale battlefield judgments.
He knows when his team should break out, when to feign weakness, and what actions to take to ensure the larger forces achieve the established strategic goals.
Tong Ling commented on him, "Zheng Chenglong's fighting style is different from mine, but I think he has the potential I want."
Zheng Chenglong's style of combat is too similar to that of the historical figure Chen Feng, as if they were cut from the same mold.
If it weren't for his different appearance and surname, many people would even think that Chen Feng had been born again.
Zheng Chenglong is indeed outstanding, but he is just a representative.
In these months, there have been numerous battle heroes like him, but he shines the most.
At the end of December 2944, Zheng Chenglong, who had just been promoted to major general as a combatant, unfortunately encountered the greatest test of his career.
他接到情报，一艘复眼棱舰已经悄然潜伏靠近浆磁风暴，并在原地悬停了整整八个小时。
在这八小时内，从复眼棱舰里陆续有多达上百次的科研型刀锋螂往返来去。
The polygonal ship is likely to have already obtained a lot of analytical data, and there is a high risk of exposing the mystery of plasmagnetic storms.
Nearby, Zheng Chenglong decisively led five hundred soldiers to bypass and directly attack the polygonal ship, first deploying interference shells to block information transmission, and then launching an ultra-high-intensity impact in an attempt to tear it apart.
But this angular ship appears to have made a breakthrough.
To cover its retreat, two fully organized Nuzu fleets quickly approached from nearby.
Zheng Chenglong had to lead five hundred men to face a force that usually required at least a whole small squad to contend with under normal circumstances.
Finally, Zheng Chenglong successfully destroyed the Lengjian before transmitting the information out.
However, his personally customized XuanYuan armor also ran out of energy, unable to move, and could only eject the escape pod.
The rescue team in the distance is once again blocked by two reorganized Nezu fleets on the outer layer.
Zheng Chenglong was unfortunately captured.
Yes, he was not killed, but captured alive.
This is not an isolated incident, but represents the fact that the Compound Eyes have once again changed their strategy.
Before this, whether it was the nameless fleet or near the Imperial territory, the Compound Eyes would only occasionally capture human warriors, and most of the time they chose not to leave anyone alive.
But after Zheng Chenglong, at least on the Oasis Star side, the compound eye no longer kills the human warriors who have lost their mobility, but instead captures one alive.
……
Zheng Chenglong, frozen in the escape capsule, glared angrily.
He wanted to struggle, but the cabin had been filled with a gelatinous substance by the other party, and he couldn't move.
The light on the cabin wall was roaming.
The other party is cutting through the hull.
He gritted his teeth and tried to activate his personal battle suit time and time again, but the suit's energy system was also locked.
Finally, the hatch was cut open.
He appeared in a spacious crystal hall.
He looked around, but there was nothing, only several bio-mechanical arms swaying above his head.
"Hello, human."
Zheng Chenglong turned around suddenly, completely shocked.
Behind him, there was a woman.
At least, she looked like a human.
