After realizing that the opponent had invested most of its combat power into the battlefield, the large amount of materials that had been produced continuously during this period and piled up in the warehouses, even causing the warehouses to be full, including unmanned warships of various models, huge amounts of chemical fuels and two types of nuclear fuels, uranium and plutonium, huge amounts of electromagnetic cannon projectiles, spare parts, satellites, mines, etc., finally had a place to go. With the space elevator stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers as the exit, these supplies poured into the vast starry sky at an unimaginable speed like a flood after a dam collapsed. Countless huge warehouses were emptied in an instant. But it doesn't matter. In addition to these finished war supplies, Li Qingsong also stockpiled enough raw materials. Those raw materials such as gold, silver, copper, iron, chemical raw materials, fuel, etc. were piled up, even filling up several huge canyons on the planet. In addition to these raw materials that were stockpiled in advance, in the Uranus system, Li Qingsong's mines, biological resource factories, etc. are also operating at full capacity. Mountains and seas of raw materials poured into the factories. With the full efforts of more than 100 million clones, a huge amount of finished products were produced, filling up the empty warehouses in a short period of time. Heavy-load trains once again transport these materials to the space elevator base and put them into the interstellar battlefield, and materials are once again produced in factories. A balance has basically been reached between investment and production.
But that’s not all. In addition to unmanned combat weapons, Li Qingsong even produces manned warships on site. The production cycle of Earth-class and Venus-class battleships is too long, and on-site production may not be possible, so they can only be allocated from other planets. Then just produce Mercury-class battleships! In the spacecraft assembly plant, one Mercury-class battleship after another with a diameter of about 16 meters and a total mass of about 300 tons was produced. Every time a Mercury-class battleship appears, eight clones will immediately appear. Without receiving any training or learning in advance, they can immediately transform into qualified and excellent space warriors, maneuvering the Mercury-class battleship to quickly head towards the starry sky and join the war. On average, 500 manned warships are added to the interstellar battlefield every day, which means that about 8,000 clones driving spacecraft alone are added from the planet to space every day. In addition to the front-line fighters, on the logistics front, the clones responsible for maintenance, repair, deployment, and assistance suffer more than 100,000 casualties every day and also need to be replenished from the planet. But this total of about 110,000 clones consumed only accounts for a small part of all Li Qingsong's clones at the moment. The largest portion of consumption was the clones that died accidentally in various ground factories due to stray bullet attacks. Ground-based anti-aircraft firepower has blocked at least of attacks from space, but the few remaining weapons such as electromagnetic cannon projectiles and missiles still caused heavy casualties among the clones. And there are more indirect casualties. For example, a factory is hit, causing an explosion or fire that kills the clones, or they go to repair the factory and encounter an accident that leads to their deaths. The number of casualties among this group of clones reaches over 900,000 every day! The total added up is an average of over one million clone casualties every day! No civilization could bear such huge casualties. But for Li Qingsong, it doesn’t matter. In the hibernation bases built underground on the major satellites of Uranus, clones are awakened from hibernation every moment, and then line up to leave the base, just like a water tower transporting tap water, following different routes to different terminals, or replenishing factories, or replenishing battlefields, or replenishing land-based air defense bases, or replenishing mines... Just replenish as much as you lose, there won’t be any delay at all.
Under such circumstances, Li Qingsong's replenishment of unmanned combat forces in the interstellar battlefield truly reached its peak. There are as many as 50 large-scale factories that produce interstellar mines alone. Each factory has 1,000 assembly lines, and the total output is billions of mines per day! The same goes for unmanned warships, armed satellites, artillery, missiles, and so on. In the interstellar battlefield, the Bluetuk civilization fleet does have the upper hand and is indeed destroying its own unmanned combat forces with extremely high efficiency, and it is powerless to stop it. Then don’t stop it! No matter how small your casualties are, there are still casualties, and every ship destroyed is one less. But my supplies are endless! Why do you think I didn't take out so many unmanned combat weapons before? If you had taken them out at the beginning, how could you have sent so many warships into the battlefield! You think this is my weakness, but this is a trap I set! Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving! Amid the almost crazy production and supply, the war in the vast starry sea is becoming more and more brutal. General Harrier's expression became increasingly serious. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. It seems that the situation should not develop like this. We clearly have the upper hand on the battlefield, but why do we feel increasingly restricted? It felt like a big, strong insect that had broken into a spider web. The web was clearly very fragile and I could easily break free from it, but once I broke free from one strand, ten more strands of silk entangled me. The more I struggled, the more strands I had... He issued a reconnaissance order. In a moment, the relevant data was sorted out by the staff and presented to him. So he was somewhat horrified to see that the number of interstellar mines replenished by the opponent every day was as high as billions! There are tens of thousands of unmanned warships of various types! There are thousands of those weird nuclear missiles! Hundreds of thousands of armed satellites! A drop of cold sweat gradually seeped out from his dense silvery-white scales. The enemy's logistical support is surprisingly strong to this extent... In this case, how can we possibly achieve the goal of destroying the opponent's unmanned combat forces? Since it cannot be achieved, then... "Retreat! I order, retreat immediately! The second, third, and ninth fleets will cover the rear, all other fleets, retreat!" What?! Many staff officers looked at their chief in horror.
At this time, an emergency retreat? We clearly have a huge advantage? Besides, the fighting was so intense that if we retreated forcefully, we would inevitably suffer heavy losses. "Commander, you..." "I told you to evacuate immediately! If you delay any longer, it may be too late... I will explain to the Führer afterwards!" … The fierce and brutal battle finally came to an end. Looking at the Bluetuk fleet accelerating away from the battlefield, Li Qingsong felt a little regretful. "I didn't expect the other commander to be so decisive. However..." Looking at the statistical results of the battle, Li Qingsong began to feel excited again. "In the first battle, we were able to destroy 20,000 of the enemy's warships. Not bad!"
