Chapter 725 Seven Billion Sacrifices
After receiving the order, the warships of the vassal states of the Federation began to rush towards the swarm of the Empire from the front of the Federation fleet.
However, things were somewhat beyond the Federation's expectations. The swarm of the Empire did not pay attention to these vassal warships, but continued to rush towards the main fleets of the thirty-one advanced civilizations of the Federation.
At the same time, the Empire fleet, which had been simply repaired, returned to the battlefield with the captured warships that had just been taken over, and surrounded the Federation fleet.
Seven days later.
Only the original battlefield was left with the floating wreckage of warships. These tattered warship shells floated aimlessly in the battlefield.
There were constantly Wasp fighters shuttling through the wreckage, and these fighters were now responsible for the task of decomposing and recycling these wreckages.
In this battle, the Federation fleet was completely wiped out, and the Empire also lost a full three trillion Wasp fighters.
These lost Wasp fighters were taken away by the self-explosion of the Federation warships at the last moment.
The Empire did not expect that these remaining warships would rather perish with the Wasp fighters than surrender.
In addition to the loss of the Wasp fighters, only 4 million of the Empire's 10 million Zeus-class warships remained, and 6 million warships became space junk in this battle.
And the remaining cruisers and destroyers were less than 30%. It can be said that the Empire was seriously injured in this cross-galaxy battle!
And the less than 200 million Federation main battleships captured at the beginning were all destroyed in the final battle.
The number of soldiers (Imperial citizens) sacrificed by the Empire in this battle also reached an astonishing 7 billion!
The loss of the clone army reached an unimaginable astronomical figure.
However, this battle determined that the Empire's rule over this galaxy is an irreversible fact.
The main fleets of all civilizations in the Federation have been destroyed by the Empire, and their vassal civilizations have not even left their home warships.
It can be said that the remaining warships in the Spiral Federation are only about the same number as the remaining warships of the Empire.
However, the quality of these warships used to stay in the base camp to maintain stability and fight pirates is far inferior to that of the Imperial fleet.
After this battle, the Federation completely lost the initiative in this river system. When this river system falls into the hands of the Empire depends entirely on when the Empire decides to launch a full-scale attack.
However, on this day when the Empire should have celebrated nationwide, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was.
In the meeting room of the palace, Li Mingze and a group of senior officers of the Empire silently looked at the data on the holographic screen in front of them.
On the day when the battle ended, Li Mingze received a report from Tianyi.
The Empire's search and rescue fleet did not find the soldiers who died in the Empire at any "rebirth" point near the battlefield!
These soldiers did not rebirth, but were completely dead.
"Is there anyone who can tell me what is going on!" Li Mingze propped up the table and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, calm down, I think this should be an uncontrollable disaster!" A general hurriedly persuaded Li Mingze.
"This is not a small number of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people! This is 7 billion citizens of the Empire! It is 7 billion elite soldiers of the Empire!" Li Mingze slapped the table and it made a clattering sound.
"Your Majesty, I think we may have some clues." A scientist suddenly raised his hand and said softly.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Mingze nodded and motioned the scientist to stand up and speak.
"According to the information you and Xia Luoluo revealed to us and the experiments we did on some death row prisoners, we can draw a conclusion."
"That is, the basis of infinite rebirth is based on the rejection of objects in this universe from other universes. We do not belong to this universe, so we are also rejected by the rules of this universe."
"But! We may have overlooked some things, such as whether the rules that make up the universe are adaptable?"
"For example, the speed of light in another universe is twice that of this universe. Then when the light from another universe is sent into this universe, it may still be the original speed at first."
"But as time goes by, this beam of light may be assimilated by this universe and begin to adapt to the rules of this universe."
"We have been in this universe for too long. I think our existence may have been adapted to this universe, and the rules of this universe are reapplied to us." The scientist explained to everyone in a deep voice.
"Why didn't you find out earlier!" Li Mingze stared at these scientists angrily.
"Your Majesty, you also know that there has been no major war in the empire during this period, and we don't have people dying every moment."
"None of us knows when this universe will adapt to our existence, and we have no control over this!" The scientist shook his head and sighed.
"Everyone, think about how to face the families of these soldiers! We actually lost 7 billion citizens in this battle!"
"How should we explain to these people!" Li Mingze also sighed and sat back in his seat.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the land and pensions of the colony planet be distributed to the families of these 7 billion citizens."
"At the same time, add these soldiers as martyrs, and all military ranks will be promoted by one level! The children and descendants of these soldiers and their families will enjoy the treatment of martyrs."
"Or, we can use clones to replace these dead soldiers," an officer stood up and said to everyone.
The so-called replacement with clones means that the Empire has saved the latest memories of all soldiers before they set out. Once these soldiers have an accident.
The Empire can use the saved cells to clone him again and instill the latest memory into him.
The genes of these clones will not be restricted, and they will have the lifespan of normal imperial citizens.
At the same time, they will think that they are the person in their memory with their own memories.
At that time, the Empire only needs to make up a small lie, and these clones will think that they did not participate in the battle, and continue to act as the cloned person in the Empire.
In this way, the Empire will no longer need to worry about how to explain the sacrifice of the seven billion people, and the Empire society will not cause major turmoil.
"Okay, the second idea is good. We can use clones to replace these sacrificed soldiers! After all, we have used this method before."
"But we must also make some compensation to the families of these clones."
"All the fallen soldiers are added as martyrs in the highest-level files, and all other battle-related information is deleted!"
"At the same time, when the families of these soldiers are admitted to schools, the system automatically adds 20 points in the background."
