Chapter 251: The terrifying Terra civilization, wasn’t it said that the difficulty would not be high?!

After some time had passed, Sterkar had gotten used to the daily operations of the Raider Planet.

Today, as usual, he sat on his huge throne, looking around the hall full of technology and futuristic feeling.

The surrounding metal walls are inlaid with various complex dashboards and display screens, showing real-time data from various areas on the planet.

Stekar tapped the armrest of the throne gently, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, waiting impatiently.

Leo stepped into the hall, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the wide space.

Stekar turned his eyes and looked at Leo.

"Leo, you're here!" Sterkar's voice was calm, but there was a kind of majesty that could not be ignored: "Have you sorted out the task list for today? Or do we have to wait for those systems to recalculate it again?"

Leo nodded slightly, his fingers sliding quickly on the handheld holographic device: “Master Pioneer, the mission has been sorted out.

Do you want to see the current task list? Or do you want to hear the latest situation report first? "

Sterkar's eyes swept from Leo's equipment and fell back to the open space in front of the throne, as if there was something invisible there that attracted his attention.

“Report, report first.

What happened today? Are there any new problems on the planet? Are there any progress in the latest research projects? "

Leo nodded and said slowly: “That’s right, Master Pioneer.

Elena has recently been promoting a new technology project with the goal of enhancing our quantum computing capabilities.

This thing should allow our intelligent sub-system to process huge amounts of data faster, especially in battlefield analysis and resource allocation.

She said it might take some extra resources and time, but she assured us that it would give us a greater advantage in the dungeon!"

Sterkar narrowed his eyes slightly. "Quantum computing? She mentioned it before, but what are the details? Can this thing really make the sophon more efficient?"

Leo paused for a moment, as if he was choosing his words: "Elena said that, in theory, this can increase the computing speed of the sophon by at least three times.

Of course, this still depends on the actual test results, but she is confident that there will be no problems.

However, it may take a lot of resources and time!"

Stekar did not respond immediately, his gaze still lingering on a spot in front of the throne, as if he was deep in thought.

"Resources are not the biggest problem!" He finally said, "But time... time waits for no one.

We have to find out what's going on in Terra as soon as possible!"

Leo pursed his lips, seeming a little hesitant: "Master Pioneer, I know you are eager to explore the details of Terra civilization, but if there is no sufficient technological support, rash action may be risky!"

Stekar tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest: “Yeah, I understand this.

So, Elena has to speed up the process, we can't wait too long!" He paused and asked, "Is there any problem with Holden's resource allocation? Can we gather the additional resources she mentioned as soon as possible?"

Leo slid on the holographic device a few more times, and a series of complex numbers and charts popped up on the screen: “In terms of resources, Holden has already started to allocate them.

However, the reserves of some rare elements are limited and need to be accelerated from alien mines, but she said there will not be a big problem.

The shipping time may be a little longer!"

Stekar nodded: “Then let her speed up as much as possible.

If necessary, send more transport ships.

We can't let these things slow down Elena's progress!"

Leo immediately responded: "Understood, I'll convey it right away!" He quickly sent the message to Holden.

Sterkar paused again, as if waiting for some kind of reaction.

"What else is going on? Any new information from Xavier? Intelligence about Terra, or the movements of other forces?"

Leo’s expression became slightly nervous: “Savier is still analyzing the intelligence he recently received.

He said that Terra's defenses are much stronger than we expected, especially the special forces around the Emperor and those terrifying warriors... This may require us to readjust our strategy!"

Stekar finally withdrew his gaze from the air and looked directly at Leo: "How strong are these warriors? Does Xavier have a clear assessment?"

Leo pondered for a moment: "He said that the current intelligence is not comprehensive enough, but from some fragmentary information, those warriors... they may not be ordinary creatures, or they have been transformed to be very powerful.

Savile is still investigating further, but he recommends that we do not engage in direct confrontation with these fighters for the time being!"

Sterkar nodded slightly, as if he had expected this: "We need more detailed intelligence and cannot make decisions based on these fragmentary information alone.

Let Savile step up the investigation, especially the origins and weaknesses of those warriors!"

Just then, Elena also walked into the hall with a thick folder in her hand.

She walked up to Sterkar, her tone a little excited: “Master Pioneer, I have just received the latest test data, and our quantum computing project has achieved initial results.

If we continue to push forward, we will soon be able to comprehensively improve the computing power of the sophon!"

Sterkar looked at the folder in Elena's hand and said, "Can I see the data? Be more specific. How far have you progressed?"

Elena opened the folder and pointed to a page: "We have completed the first phase of the experiment. The results show that the computing speed has increased by about 2.5 times. There is still some gap from the goal, but this result is already very satisfactory.

Next, we will further optimize the algorithm and increase the hardware support of the system.

If all goes well, the next phase of improvement could be even more significant!"

Sterkar nodded and said, “2.5 times, not bad. Although it has not reached the expectation, it is also a good start.

When do you plan to take the next step?"

Elena seemed a little excited: "We have prepared the equipment for the next step of the experiment. As long as the resources are in place, we can start right away.

According to the plan, it will probably take another three to four cycles!"

Leo interrupted, “Holden is already allocating resources, but the transportation time may need to be accelerated!”

Elena nodded without hesitation: “Understood, I will coordinate with Holden and try to get the resources in place as soon as possible!”

At this moment, Stekar suddenly looked at a corner of the hall, where a screen flashed a few times, and it seemed that new information was coming.

Zhizi's voice then echoed in the hall, clear and cold: "Master Pioneer, the copy designer Azure Star 009 has sent a new mission instruction!"

Sterkar raised an eyebrow. "New mission instructions? What are they this time? Tomoko, explain in detail!"

Sophon's voice was free of any emotion: "The mission is as follows: explore a frontier outpost of the Terran civilization, obtain detailed data on its defense system, and try to seize its energy core.

If the mission is successful, you will receive 10000 points and a mysterious reward! "

Sterkar listened quietly, frowning slightly. "The outpost of Terra civilization? This is not an easy task, especially to seize their energy core... The dungeon designer has given us another difficult problem this time!"

Leo looked solemn: “Master Pioneer, this mission is very risky, especially directly seizing the energy core, which may trigger a strong reaction from Terra.

We need to plan carefully!"

Elena also pondered for a while: "Indeed, the energy core is the core part of their defense system. Once it is touched, the defense force of the entire outpost will be activated.

We have to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Sterkar nodded: “Yes, we can’t act rashly this time.

We have to plan carefully and find out the situation of the outpost before making a decision!"

At this moment, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room also began to scroll:
[Wow, this task doesn't sound easy! This designer No. 009 from Azure Star is really good at causing trouble! ]

[Wow, the outpost of Terra civilization, this is a challenging mission! Everyone, get ready to watch the show! ]

[I feel like this mission is going to fail. Terra's defense system is no joke!]

[Does anyone think this mission is too difficult? I think Sterkar should be careful! ]

[The dungeon designer is truly a genius. He was able to come up with a task like this. I really admire him! ]

[If Sterkar can succeed this time, he will really become a legend! Just wait and see! ]

Sterkar glanced at the barrage and snorted, "Tomoko, get me all the known information about that outpost. We need to start from the beginning and study it carefully!"

Tomoko immediately executed the order, and various data and images began to scroll on the screen.

Sterkar's eyes were fixed on the information, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It seems that this time, we have to try something new!"

Leo looked at the data scrolling on the screen, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he exhaled, as if thinking about how to deal with this mission.

“Master Pioneer, this outpost seems to be more complicated than we imagined. The outer defense system alone is enough to give us a headache.

Look here!" He pointed to a place on the screen: "This is an energy barrier technology we have never seen before. It seems to be able to automatically adjust the frequency and rebound any form of attack.

We need to think about how to bypass these defenses!"

Sterkar stared at the screen for a few seconds, his eyes flashing with sharpness: “This barrier is indeed tricky, but there must be a way to get around it.

What we need is accurate information and a strict plan, without any mistakes!" He paused and turned to Elena: "Do you have any way to interfere with or weaken this kind of barrier?"

Elena opened the folder in her hand, quickly browsed a few pages, and nodded slightly: “Master Pioneer, I have a preliminary idea.

We can try to use a high-frequency interference wave, which can disrupt the adaptive function of the barrier for a short period of time, making it vulnerable in an instant.

However, this method requires very precise calculations and timing, and we have to get close to the core area of ​​the barrier to be successful!"

Hearing this, Leo immediately grasped the key point: "Approaching the core area of ​​the barrier? That means we have to go deep into the enemy's hinterland, which is not easy.

We must send out our best team to carry out the mission, and there must not be any mistakes!"

Sterkar did not answer immediately, but slowly stood up, walked to the screen, and stared at the complex energy barrier image: “Elite teams are necessary, but we also have to prepare a few backup plans just in case.

If the main plan fails, we must have other means of retreat and cannot let our elite troops fall into despair!"

His eyes were as sharp as a blade: "Leo, gather your people and take all possible emergencies into consideration. I want a detailed battle plan!"

Leo nodded: "Understood, Lord Pioneer, I will arrange it immediately!" He turned and quickly left the hall to summon his commanders.

Sterkar watched Leo leave, then turned to Elena and said, “The key to this operation lies in your technical support. We need you to monitor the status of the barrier throughout the process and ensure that the interference is initiated at the right time.

Is your team ready? "

Elena smiled slightly, with confidence shining in her eyes: “Of course, Master Pioneer, we have begun to prepare the necessary equipment and computing modules.

As long as the resources are in place, we can complete debugging and deployment in the shortest possible time!"

Stekar nodded, signaling her to continue preparing.

He walked back to the throne and leaned back, seeming to think about his next steps.

Suddenly, he thought of something and whispered, "Is there any new information from Savile? He should have started to explore the intelligence inside the outpost!"

Elena shook her head: "There is no new news yet, but he has sent several encrypted signals recently, so there should be an update soon!"

As soon as the voice fell, the information on the screen was updated again, and Tomoko's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, Xavier has sent new information.

He had infiltrated the outskirts of the outpost and obtained some useful information.

According to his initial assessment, the defense inside the outpost is stronger than we thought, but there are also some weaknesses that can be exploited! "

Sterkar narrowed his eyes slightly: "What weakness? Tell me more about it!"

Zhizi's voice was calm and clear: "Savier discovered that although the energy core inside the outpost is well protected, there is an energy conduit that exposes a short-term vulnerability during regular maintenance.

This is our best chance to get close to the core without alerting the entire defense system.

However, this time window is very short, only about ten seconds!"

Sterkar pondered for a while and said slowly: "A dozen seconds? Time is indeed tight, but this may be our only chance.

We need to complete the entire mission within this time window, which means everything must be perfect!"

Elena immediately responded, “Master Pioneer, I can try to further optimize our jamming device, minimize the operation time, and ensure the accuracy of the jamming.

However, in this way, the equipment may become more complicated and the operation difficulty will increase! "

Sterkar glanced at her and said firmly, "It doesn't matter how complicated it is. As long as it can succeed, the greater the difficulty, the more worthwhile it is to try.

We have no way out, we must seize this opportunity!"

At this moment, Holden also walked into the hall, apparently having received the news and coming to report on the resource situation.

"Master Pioneer, the resource allocation has been basically completed. Our transport fleet is rushing to the mining area at full speed. We expect to be able to transport the required rare elements back within the scheduled time!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: “Very good, Holden, your work is as efficient as always.

Next we will rely on these resources to advance our plan.

Elena, you must start the production and debugging of the equipment as soon as possible, time waits for no one! "

Elena immediately responded: "Understood, I will do my best to ensure the mission goes smoothly!"

Holden relaxed a little, and then said, “Master Pioneer, if there are other resources or financial support that need to be deployed, just give me your orders.

Our current reserves are still sufficient, but if there are new mission requirements, we may need to further adjust the budget!"

Sterkar waved his hand and said, "You can handle the budget issue. As long as we can ensure the success of the mission, nothing else will be a problem.

What I want is efficiency and results!"

Holden nodded: “Then I won’t bother you anymore, I will continue to follow up on the allocation and transportation of resources to ensure that there will be no delays!”

After Holden left, Sterkar glanced at the various data displayed on the screen again, and then said to Tomoko: “Tomoko, continue to monitor all relevant information dynamics, especially the situation on Savile’s side.

Once there is new information, notify me immediately!"

Tomoko's voice was calm and firm: "Understood, Master Pioneer, I will keep an eye on it at all times to ensure that no details are overlooked!"

At this tense moment of preparation, the live broadcast room's barrage became active again:

[This Sterkar is really generous. He doesn't even care about the budget, as long as he can complete the task! ]

[I feel like this mission is getting harder and harder, it feels a bit suspenseful! ]

[This Savile is a really amazing guy. He can sneak into the outskirts of the outpost. This is not something that ordinary people can do! ]

[The Skynet production team is really talented. Each mission is designed to be so complicated. The designer of Azure Star No. 009 is really strong! ]

[If Sterkar fails this time, there may not be another chance. Let's wait and see! ]

[The difficulty of this mission is too high. I am really worried whether they can complete it successfully! ]

Stekar listened to the comments read out by Tomoko, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he hummed softly: "It seems that the audience is also full of expectations for our mission.

Well, since everyone cares so much, we must not let them down!"

He sat back down on his throne and stared at the screen, as if he could already see the complex action that was about to unfold.

He knew that this mission would be a huge challenge, but he also understood that this was exactly the test set for him by the copy designer, Azure Star No. 009.

He must succeed, not only to conquer this dungeon, but also for the honor of the civilization he represents.

"Elena, Leo, Holden!" Stekar's voice was low and powerful: "We are ready to meet this challenge.

Tell everyone that we have no way back, we can only move forward!"

Elena and Leo responded in unison: "Understood, Master Pioneer, we will do our best!"

Holden also said firmly: "Everything is ready, Master Pioneer!"

Sterkar nodded slightly, staring firmly at the screen in front of him: "Then let's get started, let's teach Terra civilization an unforgettable lesson!"

After Leo left, the entire hall fell into a brief silence, with only the data scrolling on the screen and Tomoko's occasional whispers echoing in the air.

Sterkar sat on the throne, staring at the display screen in front of him, counting the time silently in his heart.

He knew that at this moment, Leo was busy mobilizing troops, Elena was also stepping up the debugging of equipment, and Holden was doing his best to ensure the supply of resources.

Everyone is making final preparations for this operation.

Not long after, Elena came in again with a new report in her hand: "Master Pioneer, I have just completed the last round of equipment testing, and the results show that the effect of the interference device has reached the expected standard!" She walked forward and handed the report to Sterkar: "According to the test data, as long as we can accurately grasp that time window, the barrier will be completely disrupted, opening a loophole of more than ten seconds!"

Sterkar took the report, glanced at it quickly, and nodded slightly: “Very good, Elena, this result is better than I expected.

However, the window period of more than ten seconds is still too short. Can we do something to extend the time a little bit?"

Elena thought about it and frowned slightly: “In theory, you can try it, but this will increase the complexity of the equipment and will also place higher requirements on the operating accuracy.

Moreover, extending the time may cause the barrier system to repair itself faster, which will shorten our actual operation time! "

Sterkar put down the report: "If that's the case, then we'll follow the original plan. We have a dozen seconds to make sure we hit the target!" He paused, and his tone became more serious: "Elena, you have to monitor the operation of the equipment throughout the process. If there is any problem, notify me immediately!"

Elena nodded firmly: "Yes, Master Pioneer, I will do my best!"

At this time, Tomoko's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, Leo sent a message that the troops have been assembled and are ready to set off at any time!"

Stekar slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, where a huge display screen was showing a panoramic view of the outpost.

His eyes scanned the screen, as if he was rehearsing the upcoming action in his mind.

"Okay, Leo is ready, we will act immediately!" Sterkar's voice was low and firm: "Tomoko, contact Leo and ask him to lead the commando team to set off, the target is the outer area of ​​the outpost.

We must complete the task as quickly as possible and not allow any accidents!"

Tomoko responded immediately: "Understood, Master Pioneer, the order has been conveyed to Leo, and he will execute it immediately!"

Stekar didn't say anything else, his eyes were still fixed on the screen, as if waiting for a signal.

Elena stood aside, with a slightly nervous look on her face, but more of an excitement for the upcoming battle.

She knew the importance of this operation and understood the tremendous achievements that would be made if it succeeded.

Soon after, Leo's voice came through the communication system: "Master Pioneer, we have reached the outskirts of the outpost. Everything is going well. We have not encountered any resistance so far!"

Stekar nodded slightly: "Very good, keep moving forward, stay hidden, and wait for the interference signal from Elena. Remember, you must act quickly. Once the interference is successful, you only have a dozen seconds!"

Leo's voice was firm and calm: "Understood, we will complete the task within the time window!"

Elena quickly walked to the console and began to operate the various control panels with her hands.

The data on the display began to change rapidly, indicating that she was starting the final debugging of the jammer.

"Master Pioneer, everything is ready. I can activate the jamming signal at any time!" There was a hint of nervousness in Elena's tone, but more of a determination to try.

Stekar stood behind her, his eyes fixed on the energy fluctuations of the outpost on the screen: "Very good, Elena, start the interference now to create opportunities for Leo and the others!"

Elena didn't hesitate, her finger quickly pressed the start button.

As she operated, the energy barrier of the outpost on the display began to fluctuate irregularly, as if the rhythm was disrupted by some invisible force.

"The interference signal has been activated!" Elena stared at the screen: "The energy fluctuations of the barrier are beginning to become disordered, and loopholes are forming.

Leo, it's time to act!"

Leo's voice sounded immediately, with a hint of nervous excitement: "Understood, let's start the action!"

The screen showed that the commandos led by Leo were rapidly advancing towards the core area of ​​the outpost.

Each soldier's movements were extremely precise, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

They passed through the disrupted energy barrier and quickly approached the target location.

"Lord Pioneer, we have entered the core area and are preparing to seize the energy core!" Leo's voice came through the communication, with an irrepressible sense of tension.

Stekar stared at the screen, his fingers trembling slightly, as if he was nervous for these crucial few seconds.

Elena also focused on monitoring the operating status of the jammer, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead.

At this moment, the commandos had arrived at the location of the energy core.

Leo's voice sounded again through the communication: "Master Pioneer, we have taken control of the energy core and are carrying out the final dismantling work!"

Stekar did not answer, but his eyes became more serious, and all his attention was focused on the screen.

He knew that the most critical moment had arrived and any negligence could lead to the failure of the mission.

Elena's voice suddenly rose: "Time is almost up! The effect of the interference device is weakening, and the barrier will be restored soon!"

Leo's voice also began to become nervous: "We need more time, the disassembly work is not yet complete!"

Sterkar stood up suddenly, with an unquestionable command in his voice: "Go all out and complete the mission at all costs!"

Leo said nothing more, and the commandos quickened their movements.

On the display screen, the devices surrounding the energy core began to emit a faint light, as if racing against time.

"Ten seconds left!" Elena's voice was full of urgency.

"Done! The energy core has been dismantled!" Leo's voice was filled with a hint of excitement of victory: "We are ready to retreat!"

Sterkar heaved a sigh of relief, his voice deep and powerful: "Retreat immediately, the jammer will continue to operate until you can evacuate safely!"

The commandos quickly began to evacuate, returning to the outskirts of the outpost with the energy core.

Elena continued to stare at the screen, making sure the jammer would last until the last moment.

"The commandos have been evacuated safely, and the jammer is being shut down!" Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Stekar and smiled, "Master Pioneer, the mission was successful!"

Sterkar nodded, a smile on his face: “Very good, everyone did a great job.

The success of this mission means we are one step closer to completing the dungeon!"

Leo’s voice came again, with excitement and joy: “Master Pioneer, we have returned safely and everything went well.

The energy core is on its way and is expected to arrive soon!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Leo, thank you for your hard work.

After returning to the base, all commandos will receive the rewards they deserve.

Elena, you must also continue to monitor the delivery of the energy core to ensure it arrives safely!"

Elena responded softly: "Understood, I will monitor the whole process to make sure there are no problems!"

At this moment, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room started rolling again:
[This is so exciting! This mission is a textbook-level operation! ]

[Stekar really showed his dominance this time. Such decision-making ability is admirable! ]

[Oh my god, Elena's jamming device is amazing. I really admire her technical ability! ]

[Leo's commando team is truly the elite among the elite, able to complete even such a difficult mission! ]

[The success of this mission is really exciting. I feel like Sterkar is one step closer to completing the dungeon! ]

[The dungeon designer, Blue Star 009, is truly a god-like existence. Every time he designs a mission, people marvel at his ingenious craftsmanship! ]

Sterkar looked at the scrolling barrage, smiled slightly, and then said to Tomoko: "Continue to monitor all the dynamics, especially the reaction from Terra.

They won’t sit idly by, we have to be prepared in advance!”

Tomoko immediately responded: "Understood, Master Pioneer, I will continue to monitor all relevant information!"

Sterkar sat back on the throne again, his eyes narrowed slightly: “We have taken an important step, but this is just the beginning.

Next, we need to be more cautious and stronger to truly conquer this dungeon!"

Elena, Leo and Holden returned to their respective posts after completing their tasks. The entire palace was filled with a tense yet hopeful atmosphere.

Stekar continued to sit on the throne. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his mind was actually constantly working, thinking about every next step.

After a while, Holden walked into the hall again with a new resource report in his hand.

He walked up to Sterkar and said, “Master Harbinger, the energy core has arrived safely, and our reserves are being replenished quickly.

The resources obtained from this mission will be of great help to our subsequent scientific and technological research and development and military expansion.

Especially for the quantum computing project, with the support of this energy core, Elena should be able to complete the optimization faster!"

Sterkar nodded slightly: “Very good, Holden, your work has always been the most reliable.

Next, we must continue to accelerate progress in all areas and not let up in any way! "

Holden nodded and responded: "Understood, I will continue to optimize resource allocation to ensure that each project can get the most adequate support!"

At this moment, Tomoko's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, Xavier sent an urgent message. He found that Terra has begun to mobilize troops and seems to be preparing for some kind of counterattack!"

Sterkar's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly sat up straight: "Did Savile mention more details? What is the scale of their mobilization? What is the goal?"

Sophon continued to report: "Savier speculated that the Terran civilization seemed to have sensed the loss of the energy core, and they are mobilizing a powerful fleet. The purpose is unknown, but it may be related to us.

Savile recommends that we strengthen our defenses immediately and prepare for a large-scale attack!"

After hearing this, Sterkar slowly stood up, paced back and forth and thought for a moment, then ordered: "Leo, gather all commanders immediately, we need to hold an emergency military meeting.

Holden, ensure that all combat readiness resources are in place in the shortest possible time.

Elena, continue to speed up the progress of the quantum computing project. We need faster and stronger computing power to deal with the next situation!"

Elena responded immediately: "Understood, I will do my best to speed up the progress of the project!"

Holden also responded in a deep voice: "All resources will be in place in the shortest time, Master Pioneer!"

After receiving the order, Leo quickly led a group of commanders into the hall. Everyone looked solemn, knowing that this meeting would directly affect the future of the planet.

Sterkar stood in the middle of the hall and looked around at everyone: “Everyone, we are facing an unprecedented challenge.

The counterattack of Terra civilization may be on the way, and their power cannot be underestimated.

We must be fully prepared to face this battle!"

Leo spoke first: “Master Pioneer, according to our intelligence, the fleet of Terra civilization is huge, and their technology and combat capabilities are extremely strong.

If they really attack with all their might, we need to be prepared for a long battle!"

Sterkar nodded and asked him to continue: "Tell me more specifically, what are our response plans?"

Leo quickly flipped through the tactical atlas in his hand: "We can establish multiple defense circles on the periphery, use our long-range weapon systems to weaken the enemy fleet first, and send mobile forces to carry out harassment tactics.

Our heavy defense platforms can provide fire support to block the enemy's frontal attacks.

In the rear, we can focus on protecting important facilities, especially Elena's quantum computing project!"

Elena immediately replied: "Yes, Master Pioneer, the key to the quantum computing project lies in speed and security. Once we complete the optimization, the battlefield analysis capabilities of the sophon will be greatly improved. This will be our core advantage in dealing with the Terra fleet!"

Holden added: "We have made the worst-case scenario plans in terms of resources, and we have sufficient reserves, but if the battle drags on too long, we may need to speed up the mining of the alien mines to ensure uninterrupted logistical supply!"

After listening to this, Sterkar nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, “We must be prepared for everything, but we can’t just passively defend.

I need an elite force equipped with the latest technological weapons to serve as our mobile counterattack force.

While the enemy is attacking, we must also look for opportunities to counterattack them.

Leo, this army is under your command!"

Leo immediately responded: "Understood, Lord Pioneer, I will personally select the elites to ensure that this force can play the greatest role at the critical moment!"

Stokal continued: "Elena, the quantum computing project must be completed quickly. We have no time to waste.

Once there is any progress, report to me immediately!"

Elena nodded firmly: "I will do my best, Master Pioneer!"

Just when the meeting reached a tense moment, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room started rolling again:

[Too tense! It feels like a big war is really going to happen this time. The Terra civilization is no joke! ]

[Leo is really amazing. He considered the dual strategy of defense and counterattack from the beginning. He is worthy of being a military commander! ]

[Elena's quantum computing project seems to be the key. If it succeeds, Sterkar's chances of winning will be much greater! ]

[The plot arranged by the dungeon designer this time is so exciting, it feels like an epic battle is about to take place! ]

[Do you think Sterkar can win? This is a counterattack by the Terran civilization. I'm really worried about him! ]

[The dungeon designer, Blue Star 009, is truly a god-like existence. Every mission design is so complex and wonderful! So cool! ]

Stekar ignored the comments in the barrage and continued to concentrate on developing a specific battle plan with his commanders.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense.

"All plans have been arranged. Now it all depends on our execution!" Sterkar concluded, "Everyone, war may come soon. Be prepared to defend our homeland!"

The commanders responded in unison: "Defend to the death!"

Sterkar looked at them, took a deep breath, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Go, take your positions, the battle is about to begin!"

Under Sterkar's orders, the commanders quickly left the conference room, returned to their respective posts, and began to make final preparations for the upcoming war.

Stekar still stood in the center of the hall, his eyes fixed on the huge holographic display screen, which constantly refreshed the movements of the Terra fleet. The data surged like waves, appearing both complex and full of oppression.

Elena stayed behind, busy at the console, her fingers sliding quickly between various buttons and screens, integrating the various data sent by her scientific team.

Stekar looked at her and asked softly, "Elena, how is the progress now? How much time do we have?"

Elena paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer: "Master Pioneer, according to the current progress, our quantum computing project will need at least three cycles to complete all optimization work.

This is already the fastest speed, unless we can find more resources, or more computing power... but, this is almost impossible! "

Sterkar frowned. "Three cycles? The Terran fleet may not give us that much time.

Is it possible to speed it up?

Elena sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: “In theory, it’s possible, but this means we need to take greater risks.

Acceleration may cause system instability or even unforeseen failures.

If something goes wrong at a critical moment, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Stekar nodded silently, knowing that Elena was doing her best.

"I understand!" He said slowly, "Then proceed according to the existing plan and don't take any risks.

We will try to delay the time and try to gain more cycles!"

Elena nodded and continued to focus on her work.

Sterkar turned and walked towards the throne, sitting down again, his eyes still fixed on the huge holographic display.

The image of the Terra fleet on the screen became clearer and clearer, and the outline of each warship seemed to carry a threat that could not be ignored.

At this moment, Zhizi's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, I detected that the Terra fleet is accelerating towards our defense range and is expected to arrive within three cycles!"

Stokal tapped his fingers on the armrest, thinking about how to deal with this impending threat.

"How's Leo's defense deployment going?" he asked.

Tomoko immediately responded: “Leo has completed the deployment of the first line of defense, and all defense platforms have entered combat status.

The mobile forces are also in place and can carry out harassment tactics at any time!"

Stekar nodded slightly: “Very good.

Next, we need to make the enemy feel a little scared and not let them think we will surrender!"

He immediately ordered Sophon: "Sophon, start the long-range tactical calculation, simulate various possible attack methods of the Terra fleet, and then send the results to Leo.

I want to make sure we have a response for any situation!"

Tomoko's voice was cold and professional: "The simulation calculation has started, and the results will be generated within an hour!"

Stekar nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Elena: “Elena, we need all the technical forces on your side to support Leo’s defense deployment.

Especially the barrier interference device, if it can be optimized a little bit, it may play an unexpected role in the battle!"

Elena thought for a moment and replied, "Master Pioneer, I can mobilize some team members to do this work specifically, but this will involve some of the power of the quantum computing project and may slightly delay the progress over there!"

Stekar thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s do this.

Defense is the top priority at the moment. If we cannot resist the attack of the Terra fleet, all projects will be meaningless!"

Elena nodded again and quickly entered a series of commands on the console to deploy some technicians to the defense project.

Her movements were swift and precise, and every step she took demonstrated her professionalism and efficiency as the scientific research director.

"Master Pioneer!" Elena said, "I have mobilized the best technical team here, and they will immediately begin the optimization work of the barrier interference device.

We will try to complete all necessary adjustments before the battle begins!"

Sterkar looked at Elena with a hint of approval in his tone: “Very good, Elena, I have always believed in your ability.

Every step we take now is very critical and we must ensure that every detail is perfect!"

Elena smiled slightly and continued her work.

Sterkar's gaze turned to the display screen again. The image of the Terra fleet still occupied the center of the screen. The huge warships were like moving cities in the dark universe, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression.

At this time, Leo's communication was connected again: "Master Pioneer, we have completed the layout of the second line of defense and deployed invisible patrol fleets at key locations.

We will use these patrol fleets to conduct preliminary harassment operations, trying to weaken the enemy's vanguard forces! "

After hearing this, Sterkar said slowly: "Very good, Leo, these harassment actions must be precise and effective, and we must not let the enemy see through our true intentions.

Remember, our goal is to delay them, not to confront them head-on! "

Leo responded immediately: "Understood, I will act carefully and will not let the enemy know our true plan!"

While they were talking, Holden also joined the conversation through the communication system: “Master Pioneer, I have arranged emergency resource transportation, and all important strategic materials have been transferred to a safe location.

If the battle continues, we can maintain at least five cycles of combat supplies!"

Sterkar nodded: “Holden, your work is as good as always.

Next, you have to ensure the stability of logistics. No matter how the battle develops, we cannot have any problems with resources!"

Holden responded in a deep voice: "Understood, I will continue to pay attention to all transportation and storage conditions to ensure that everything is under control!"

Sterkar hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

The pressure of this battle was undoubtedly enormous, but he knew that he and his team had done their best.

Next, we just need to wait for the enemy to arrive.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Sterkar still sat on the throne, his eyes fixed forward, as if calculating every possible change.

At this moment, Zhizi's voice sounded again: "Master Pioneer, the command signal frequency of the Terra fleet has changed, and it seems that tactical adjustments are being made.

They may have discovered our defenses!"

Sterkar frowned. "What is the specific situation? Are there any new moves by their fleet?"

Tomoko continued to report: "Their fleet began to disperse, and it seems that they are trying to surround our defense line.

We need to adjust our defense strategy to avoid being defeated piecemeal!"

Sterkar immediately ordered: "Leo, adjust the defense deployment and concentrate forces on possible breakthrough points of the enemy fleet.

We can't let them split our defenses so easily!"
