Chapter 956: Chapter 591: Freaks [4800 words]_2
Star calculated for quite a while following the usual practice, but didn’t co to a clear conclusion because no one knew if Compound-Eyed Observer was hiding any more trump cards in the Galactic Center Base.
Whether the active offensive of humans would trigger any new moves from the opponent was also unknown.
These were all unknowns.
In the end, it was Harrison Clark who made the decision.
Just do it.
After all, since the war had already started, to achieve true victory, it was necessary to destroy the opponent’s stronghold in the Milky Way Galaxy.
However, Harrison raised two prerequisites: firstly, the human fleet must have the capability of traveling at 500 tis the speed of light, otherwise, it would be too late to arrive at the Galactic Center. Secondly, the military strength of the expeditionary fleet must exceed that of the current human forces by a generation.
Because no matter how covert the march route may be, it couldn’t eliminate the possibility of encountering a battle halfway.
If human military strength was not sharp enough to break through the opponent’s interception, if they could not show overwhelming firepower advantage, then such an expedition was aningless and would just waste resources and lives.
To do it, success had to be ensured.
Finally, after more than twenty years of preparation, a fleet filled with the top technological achievents of the Empire was ready to launch.
In addition to the equipnt advantage, the Naless Fleet was also the first to select personnel from across the entire Imperial Territory, selecting the 150 million mbers from tens of thousands of colonies.
If the current Orion Arm humans were to be classified by the galaxy they inhabit, there would be at least 100,000 races within the Naless Fleet.
No matter the scientists, warriors, or engineers, everyone in the fleet was the cream of the crop of their respective races.
Now, about 50% of the top talents in the entire Empire were assembled in this fleet.
Without considering cooperation, just judging from the total individual abilities of the soldiers and the levels of equipnt technology contained within, the strength of Naless Fleet on paper was enough to match the enormous military force of an entire galaxy.
However, interstellar warfare was not about individual heroism. The actual performance of this makeshift army on the battlefield depended on how well soldiers from different cultures with different habits could coordinate with each other.
This was a headache for Commander Quentin Cooper.
About an hour later, Tiffany Bell arrived at the Fortress Ship on a synchronously traveling Ti machine and went directly to the eting room.
There were 3,700 S-class fighters qualified to attend the eting, from 2,600 planetary systems.
Among them, 63 shared Tiffany Bell’s ancestry from the Solar System.
Seventeen ca from the Giant Source Galaxy, and twenty-one ca from the Ourten Galaxy.
As for the other galaxies, most of them only had one or two representatives.
Due to the vast Imperial domain and the great differences in physical appearance and personality between people from different galaxies, these 3,700 people seed like a motley crew with strange and grotesque appearances.
So people had thick body hair, appearing quite primitive.
These people lived on planets either with strong radiation disturbance, extrely low temperatures, or significant day-night temperature differences, or the quantum rules of their galaxies naturally stimulated the expression of their body hair genes.
There were also people who were very short – less than one ter tall as adults – but they weren’t affected by dwarfism. Instead, everyone in their entire galaxy was that short.
So people had astonishingly long arms with three elbow joints, and when standing up straight, their fingers could touch their own feet.
It was rumored that Long-Arm Star, where these long-ard people lived, was the corpse of a Modified Implentor who had undergone transformation in the past century.
The Long-Arm Star people called the Modified Implentor “Ancestor.”
As a space lifeform, Ancestor chose to be an endless traveler.
When Ancestor left the Solar System, he drifted in the universe for a long ti, quietly waiting for his life to end.
Humans provided Ancestor with great convenience and gave him the privilege of using Warp Stargates.
However, one day in the early 27th century, Ancestor suddenly realized that he could release gravitational fields from his body to attract nearby particles to himself.
He wanted to know his limits.
Ancestor’s long journey ca to a halt in Ursa Major, where he discovered a huge belt of debris.
He began to accumulate particles and teorites with the remaining ti of his life, making himself grow larger and larger.
Ancestor then tried to reintegrate into human society, learn so interstellar ecological knowledge, and slowly change the properties of the objects attached to the exterior of his body.
Eventually, Ancestor died in 2633. Before his death, he successfully turned himself into a planet remarkably similar to Earth.
All the people in the Empire received his invitation before he died.
He invited them to settle on his Ursa Major.
After nearly two hundred years of developnt, Ursa Major has a population of more than 3 billion people and has spread to the fifth generation.
Starting from the fourth generation of Ursa Major’s residents, their arms grew longer and longer, eventually forming their current appearance.
The change of the people of Ursa Major was just one of the more unique cases among the hundreds of thousands of different human colonies.
There were even more exaggerated examples.
At the back of the crowd, there was one more “person.”
Strictly speaking, this being was no longer human, but clearly a huge white elephant.
He was indeed not human.
He had forgotten his na, and people called him White Elephant.
White Elephant was one of the people from the Solar System who underwent comprehensive implant modifications back then.
White Elephant’s life seed to be quite long, living until now.
After wandering the universe for a hundred years, he finally rembered his human identity, and after painstaking study, he regained his human language and thought patterns, and returned to society, becoming a top armored warrior.
