Chapter 1161: Two Solutions to the Problem
2023-03-24
The rapid depletion of the Tarxin Defense Network's energy reserves can be traced back to the Cracking Ray Flood Towers.
These towers, positioned on the Skrell front lines, continuously bombard the defense network. Each Cracking Ray can destroy a segment of the defense barrier, placing immense additional strain on the network.
Without these Cracking Ray Towers, the Tarxin Defense Network's energy reserves would still gradually diminish due to the Skrell fleet and high-level warriors. However, the depletion rate would not be as rapid as it is now.
Based on the data from the energy losses, the Winged Divine Dragon performed a simple calculation and discovered that, if this continued, the Tarxin Defense Network's energy reserves would be depleted within a month!
When that happens, the spiritual energy storage stations and fusion power plants in the rear would be unable to meet the energy demands of the defense network, leading to a significant drop in its defensive capabilities, or even a total collapse.
The Winged Divine Dragon was shocked by this conclusion.
Without wasting time, she immediately informed Su Yu of the situation.
Su Yu took the Winged Divine Dragon's findings very seriously.
He conducted his own calculations and confirmed that the energy reserves would indeed be depleted within a month if the current situation persisted.
This problem needed to be solved immediately!
...
But how could they solve it?
After carefully considering the current war situation and the state of the Tarxin Defense Network, Su Yu came up with two possible solutions:
Solution One: Destroy all of the Skrell's Cracking Ray Flood Towers.
Solution Two: Put the defense network into energy-saving mode, slowing down the recovery speed of the orange barriers.
Solution One would solve the problem at its root, but Su Yu quickly rejected this option.
The reason was simple—destroying the Cracking Ray Flood Towers was extremely difficult!
The Skrell were well aware of the importance of these towers. Even before the main assault, they had deployed almost all of their defensive forces around the towers, making the defense as strong as the "Hongjun Heavenly Net Defense Array" set up by the Blue Star people. Breaking through would be nearly impossible!
Since the first solution was not feasible, they had to consider the second one.
The second solution required significant sacrifices from the Blue Star warriors in terms of tactics.
Based on Su Yu's tests, he found that reducing the recovery speed of the orange barriers to "fully restored in 5 minutes" would decrease the energy consumption by one-third.
Reducing it to "fully restored in 10 minutes" would halve the energy consumption.
By activating the energy-saving mode, the Tarxin Defense Network would last longer, and the energy provided by the spiritual energy storage stations and fusion power plants would be sufficient to cover the network's needs.
The fusion power plants had an almost infinite supply of electricity, lasting for centuries without depletion. As long as the spiritual energy resources in the storage stations did not run out, the Tarxin Defense Network would remain strong and almost impossible to breach!
The charts Su Yu was presenting at the meeting detailed the current situation of the defense network.
...
After reviewing the charts Su Yu presented, everyone in the meeting room had a serious expression.
It appeared that Su Yu was seeking their opinions, but in reality, they had no other choice.
"Given the current situation, it seems we only have this one path to follow," Zhong Feng said solemnly.
"Yes, there's no other way."
"However, before we change our tactics, General Ke, please give the army enough time to adjust," Old Meng suggested. "The defense network's energy reserves can still support us for a while. We can make the change once we are fully prepared."
Su Yu responded, "No problem, we have enough time to prepare."
