Chapter 1115: Barrier Repair Slowdown
2023-03-24
However, this "golden opportunity" didn't last long. Gradually, the tide of battle began to shift.
The most significant change was the slowdown in the repair speed of the Tashin Defense Network.
To understand why the repair speed slowed down, we need to look back to the top-level meeting on Blue Star.
On the fourth day of the general offensive, August 28th, in the morning, Su Yu used the communication module of the AI Blue Whale to invite all the top-tier entities and high-ranking officials of the Blue Star government to a video conference.
All participants in this video conference were core members of Blue Star, each burdened with heavy responsibilities. Half of them had to squeeze out the time to attend this meeting amidst their hectic schedules.
As a result, the pace of the meeting was very fast, with one issue after another being discussed and approved without wasting a single moment.
When the meeting reached its quarter mark, it was Su Yu's turn to speak, and he promptly presented his suggestion.
"Everyone, I think it's time we slow down the repair speed of the orange barriers. Otherwise, the Tashin Defense Network might not last very long," Su Yu said.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Chairman Hu Jing immediately asked, "Slow down the barrier repair speed? By how much do you want to reduce it?"
Su Yu replied, "Currently, the barrier repairs in 13 seconds. I propose we extend the repair time to 5 to 10 minutes. This way, the energy demand of the defense network can be sustained."
"5 to 10 minutes?" Many in the video conference room were taken aback by his response.
This was a significant reduction! And it would undoubtedly trigger a severe chain reaction.
Prime Minister Cao then asked, "Young friend Su Yu, if the orange barrier's repair time is extended to 5 to 10 minutes, the military's combat strategy will have to change drastically, won't it?"
In the past, because the barrier repaired so quickly, the Skrull main forces couldn't penetrate the Tashin Defense Network, leading to a prolonged energy and resource drain between the two sides.
But if the barrier's repair time was extended to 5 to 10 minutes, the Skrull main forces could easily pass through, and they would need to intercept the enemy behind the defense network.
"Indeed," Su Yu nodded seriously. "We must change our combat strategy to intercept the enemy's main forces behind the defense network. This is a necessary measure because, if we don't, the Tashin Defense Network's energy will be depleted within a month."
As he spoke, Su Yu displayed a chart to everyone in the meeting room.
This chart was drawn by Su Yu's direct subordinate, Wyrm Dragon.
Recently, Wyrm Dragon had been relatively idle.
Due to the lack of significant casualties, Wyrm Dragon, a high-ranking sixth-stage cleric, had little to do besides occasionally recharging the defense network.
Seeing her with nothing to do, Su Yu assigned her to monitor and analyze the various metrics of the Tashin Defense Network, sharing some control permissions with her.
Previously, the task of "monitoring and analyzing the defense network's metrics" would have been handled by AI Blue Whale. With the AI in a state of dormancy, Su Yu had to rely on Wyrm Dragon to take over.
Wyrm Dragon was an excellent guild manager with a keen eye for numbers, making her the perfect candidate for this task.
However, since Wyrm Dragon was new to the role, Su Yu didn't expect her to produce results immediately.
But to his surprise, shortly after taking up her new role, Wyrm Dragon discovered a major issue—the Tashin Defense Network's energy consumption rate was far higher than the planned rate for Blue Star humans!
If this continued, it would lead to serious problems!
