Chapter 801: The Blue Star Defense Plan

Cape III Planet, Survival Base

The high-ranking officials of Huaxia were now in complete silence. In front of them lay a jade slip, which contained the memories compiled by Lin Jiang—most of the memories of the defeated Arhat Huangyuan.

They were all shocked by the power of Lingjing Star. A single planet with hundreds of Arhats and dozens of Bodhisattvas—what a powerful planet it must be!

Moreover, in terms of mastering the Immortal Language, their civilization was much stronger than Blue Star. Arhat Huangyuan could challenge three Tao Achievers without losing ground; this strength is already very impressive.

It is important to note that these Tao Achievers are not the same as those from the past. When Lin Jiang presented the jade slip, they realized that they had all practiced top-tier secret techniques. Their current level of skill was many times higher than before.

"What are you all staring at? Are you scared?"

Cao Ying noticed the unusual atmosphere and said coldly. Only then did everyone lift their heads to look at Lin Jiang and the other person.

"Ancestor Lin, Ancestor Cao, we are not scared but rather astonished by the strength of Lingjing Star, which is surprisingly powerful. The cultivation methods on this planet are also very different from ours; we just need a moment to accept it."

"Two ancestors, when two civilizations meet, must one side be destroyed?"

Some people also asked questions; Dark Forest theory is not accepted by everyone, and some believe it is wrong. The encounter between civilizations can also be friendly.

"Yes, when two civilizations meet, one must die."

Lin Jiang stated directly that this argument must be established without any doubts.

The Dark Forest system may have logical errors, but they do not know the details. If someone like Xia Qingshan is added, it must be valid, and there will never be any accidents.

Moreover, Arhat Huangyuan’s memories are already clear; they are also exploring aliens continuously and are very aggressive.

"Ancestor Lin, if that’s the case, let’s fight. If it comes to that, we may not lose. According to this jade slip, the so-called Lingjing Star is purely Immortal Language and has no technological civilization. The facts have already proven that our space weapons are very strong and we are not afraid of them."

"Yes, Ancestor Lin, we are not afraid of them; if it comes to a fight, we may not lose."

Some people are very confident; the development of technological weapons has already surpassed Immortal Language many times. Space weapons do not need to be controlled by expert cultivators; even ordinary people can handle them. This way, they actually have the advantage because ordinary lives are not precious. The Blue Star has hundreds of billions of ordinary people, giving them plenty of manpower to expend.

"So, this meeting is to discuss the defense plan for Blue Star. The first point is to keep the enemies out and prevent the fires of war from reaching Blue Star. Right now, the exposed area is Cape III Planet, so we will use Cape III Planet as the base for our defense. All Space Battleships will focus their defenses around Cape III Planet, and the defensive range should be at least one light-year away."

"Secondly, we need to combine our internal strengths and adjust the focus of social development. The demon race and other countries’ powers need to work together; we cannot rely solely on Huaxia. At the same time, we must greatly enhance our space capabilities, increasing our original goal of three Space Fleets to over ten."

"Furthermore, the development of Jiang Star must not stop. The facts show that Blue Star’s resources can help train more skilled individuals…"

"In addition, we must have a clearer goal for technological advancement. Over the next hundred years, we must solve several key technological issues, the first being quantum communication…"

Lin Jiang looked at everyone. These points were merely strategic ideas he suggested based on his past habits. The specific tactical issues needed more experts to think about, as Lin Jiang’s intelligence could not match that of those scholars."

Everyone shook off their previous laziness and became serious. Past meetings had not mattered much to them; they were merely about competing for interests. But now, this was a matter of life and death.

········

The meeting ended, and Lin Jiang let everyone get back to their tasks. They were all respected elders with Tao Achieving strength, and many were responsible for various fields. They were all very busy with their own work.

"How much have you missed regarding Arhat Huangyuan?"

Later, Cao Ying said to Lin Jiang that she also realized the information in the jade tablet was missing a lot.

"Some cultivation techniques were not shown, and there are some matters about the power of the Lingjing Star ball."

"The power of the Lingjing Star ball is not just this little bit?"

"No, there is a planet called Ling Star behind the Lingjing Star ball, which is similar in status to Jiang Star and Blue Star, and this Ling Star is even more powerful."

"Then Xia Qingshan…"

"Was scared. Xia Qingshan is very weak for beings at their level. Think about it, before, Blue Star always had its own weaknesses, and after the spiritual energy recovery, only one Demon Emperor at the Tao Achieving level died. How much power could he have?"

"What you said is somewhat true. If we lose, Xia Qingshan will also die, right?"

"Pretty much. A cultivator above the Tao Achieving level is a big benefit for them. So tell me, what kind of benefit is someone like Xia Qingshan to other beings?"

"A huge benefit among huge benefits."

"Yes, this is the tone of the Dark Forest theory; when two civilizations collide, they can only fight each other, and one must be destroyed, rather than sharing a friendly exchange."

"If we count the forces on paper, we are not very weak; Huaxia now has forty-eight who are above Tao Achieving, there are five on the Ying Continent, and the demon race has about thirty or forty, so it’s almost one hundred."

"Right, so there’s still a chance to fight. Who loses and who wins is not certain yet. Isn’t the demon race causing a fuss? After you return, talk to the Demon Queen. Their opportunity has come. Promise them that if we capture Lingjing Star, we will give the demon race at least half of the territory. The size of Lingjing Star is bigger than Jiang Star."

Lin Jiang said that the demon race caused a stir a few times before, all due to their small territory, which almost led to another fight. Now is the perfect time to make use of the demon race.

"Is Lingjing Star really that big?"

"Almost. They don’t have a technological civilization, so much of the data is unclear, but generally, it should be accurate enough to satisfy the demon race’s appetite."

"We can’t tell them about Ling Star, right?"

"Definitely, let’s get them on board first."

Lin Jiang nodded. If news about Ling Star got out, many people might become hopeless, so it must not be mentioned.

Three days later, Lin Jiang and Cao Ying returned to Huaxia. Lin Jiang had fully absorbed the memories of Arhat Huangyuan and learned that it had taken him nearly a hundred years to find Cape III Planet. This meant that if Lingjing Star really planned a large-scale attack, it would not happen for another hundred years, giving them time to prepare.

Back in Huaxia, Lin Jiang developed a strategic plan for the entire battle situation. The first step was to invest a large sum in Zhu Bin. Regardless of whether Zhu Bin had made breakthroughs in his teleportation array technology, they should build more Interstellar Teleportation Arrays to reduce the travel time between Blue Star and Jiang Star to less than a hundred years.

Next was the overall strategic layout for Blue Star. It would be the most foolish action to bring the battle to Blue Star, but they still needed to prepare short-range defenses.

Based on suggestions from relevant experts, the defense strategy for Blue Star was divided into several layers. The first layer was the outer defense of Cape III Planet, where they would place Space Mother Ships, Space Battleships, and various detectors and aircraft within one light year of Cape III Planet to ensure they could quickly detect enemies and have time to gather forces and prepare for battle.

The second layer was Cape III Planet itself, which required sufficient defensive structures. This was expected to be the main battlefield. Next were the space stations and Lunar Base of Blue Star. As for Blue Star itself, it seemed unnecessary because if the enemies reached Blue Star, most of their battle strength would already be spent.

With the strategy set, Lin Jiang could mobilize all forces to execute it. Meanwhile, things were also going smoothly on Cao Ying’s side; the Demon Queen agreed quickly.

She had an overwhelming desire for life planets. After personally inspecting Jiang Star, she was captivated by such life planets. When a Lingjing Star appeared, which was even larger than Jiang Star, she did not think too much and agreed right away.

As for the cost, she could afford it. The power of the demon race was overflowing, and many Demon Emperors were unhappy due to lack of territory and were causing trouble. This situation would give them something to do; if necessary, they could sacrifice a batch as well.
