Chapter 559 Midway Merging
Due to different conversion methods, the journey from Earth to the central battlefield of the Milky Way takes three months in the cosmic calendar, but four months in the Earth calendar. Although the Earth-United Interstellar Fleet has adopted the cosmic calendar for easier communication with fleets on other planets, they still use the Earth calendar for private communications.
What surprised Li Chenglong the most was that, whether on Earth, or on the three planets of Meilan, Hailan, and Luolan, or in places like the Interstellar Alliance, there were always 12 months in a year, although the specific dates were not quite the same.
就比如地球上现在是2月25日，而宇宙历则是3月12日，如果是在罗兰星的话，则是8月22日。宇宙历的一天相当于地球的1.2天，罗兰星的一天则是相当于地球的1.5天。
After the Earth-United Interstellar Fleet entered a stable space navigation phase and all the warships reported that they were safe, Li Chenglong unfastened his seatbelt and went to the front: "Alright, the Flying Dragon and the other warships have entered automatic navigation mode, everyone can relax a bit."
All eight members of the Second Special Task Support Section of the Information Processing Department of the Center's Information Management Department, except for Han Xiaoling, came to this expedition. After two years of hard work, Sun Menghua and Pei Lijuan, both three-elemental ability users, have reached level 13. The other four are still at level 11 due to their lower potential, and it is unlikely that they will be able to upgrade again in the future.
而云岚直属的特工队的20名队员此行来了18人，除了没有前来的两名10级异能者外，其余18名成员中有13级两人、12级5人，其余的也都是11级异能者。
Dawn City sent a total of two Level 14 Awakened, 130 Level 13 Ability Users and Awakened, 1170 Level 12 Ability Users and Awakened, and the rest were Level 10 Ability Users or Awakened. Of course, the vast majority of them were Ability Users, and the number of Awakened only accounted for 5% of the total.
When the war begins, level 10 and 11 ability users will pilot Storm Space Fighters, Qilin and Flame Phoenix mechs to fight against the special forces. Level 13 and 14 powerhouses will wear the latest space combat suits to fight the enemy in outer space.
After reviewing the documents for a while, Zhao Liying said, "Captain Li, Captain Yun, I've looked at the statistics. Our Earth United Interstellar Fleet has a total of 160,000 people on this expedition, including 86,000 warriors. Besides the 15 level 14 powerhouses, there are 3100 level 13 powerhouses, 26,000 level 12 powerhouses, and the rest are level 10 to 11. Based on this, we still have a fighting chance."
Besides Li Chenglong and Yun Lan, everyone else in the cockpit of the Flying Dragon was a member of the Second Division. He took out something and projected it onto the main screen: "Since we're all on the same side, I won't hide it anymore. This thing wasn't made public before because of preparations for war. Even on Earth, only a small number of people know about it."
Everyone looked at the large screen, which displayed the number of special forces participating in the battle as announced by the Apocalypse. At the decisive battleground in the center of the galaxy, the Apocalypse would deploy 10 million special forces, of which 40% would be Level 3 special forces, 30% would be special warriors, 27% would be enhanced special warriors, and 3% would be mechanical warriors.
A Level 3 Specialist is equivalent to a Level 12 dual- or tri-elemental ability user, a Special Warrior is equivalent to a Level 13 early-stage tri-elemental ability user, an Enhanced Special Warrior is equivalent to a Level 13 late-stage ability user, and a Mechanical Warrior is equivalent to a Level 14 powerhouse.
赵莉颖睁大了眼睛：“也就是说，他们光12级的强者就有400万个？还有570万个13级和30万个14级？！那我们还能打的赢吗？”
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Don't let this information get out, or the morale of the army will definitely be unstable. Actually, we don't need to be discouraged. Think about it carefully. Putting everything else aside, our Earth Joint Interstellar Fleet alone has 2.6 level 12 powerhouses this time. And as far as I know, there are no fewer than several hundred planets going on this expedition. You can imagine the number."
Upon hearing this news, everyone finally smiled. Sun Menghua patted his chest and said, "When I learned that there were so many powerful enemies, I was almost scared to death, but now that I think about having so many comrades to fight alongside me, I have regained my confidence."
Yunlan said from the side, "Actually, at the same level, we have an advantage over special forces in terms of combat ability alone. However, special forces will continuously absorb our energy while fighting us. This means that the longer the battle goes on, the stronger they become, and the weaker we become, because fighting special forces requires a quick victory."
Li Chenglong nodded: "That's why in recent years, both Earth and other planets have been vigorously developing mechs and battle suits. Using mechs in battle can effectively counter the special forces that try to drain our energy. And the latest space combat suits issued to you level 13 and above warriors before the expedition can effectively resist the energy draining by special warriors and enhanced special warriors."
The group sat together and chatted for a long time. Then, the members of the Second Division began to get back to work, while Li Chenglong and Yun Lan went to the rear of the Flying Dragon to visit the soldiers on the Flying Dragon and in Dawn City.
After a long month-long space voyage, at 8 a.m., Li Chenglong, who was exercising, heard the ship's internal broadcast on the Flying Dragon: "All crew members, please prepare to end our space voyage. We will be flying out of the extradimensional space in 30 minutes."
Li Chenglong wiped the sweat off his body, quickly rinsed off, and then put on his captain's uniform before heading to the cockpit. After fastening his seatbelt, Li Chenglong said, "The shaking won't be as violent when we fly out of the interdimensional space as when we enter, but we still need to be prepared for impact. According to previous communications, the warship groups from the three major planets and the fleet from Meral Star have already rendezvoused at the target location 12 hours ago."
After a minute of slight shaking, all the warships of the Earth-United Interstellar Fleet safely emerged from the extradimensional space. Upon arrival, the armor of all the warships automatically began to retract, and the soldiers could finally see the outside world through the windows.
To the soldiers' surprise, this space region was filled with warships of all types and shapes, mainly large and medium-sized warships. It seemed that small warships, like the Earth Union Starfleet, were also incorporated into these large and medium-sized warships.
Upon arrival, real-time communication was immediately activated, and several split screens appeared on the Flying Dragon's large screen, displaying images of Queen Raymond, Teacher Lena, Marina, Cecily, and others. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, due to the tight schedule, everyone unanimously decided to depart again in six hours.
This time, the Earth-United Interstellar Fleet will not need to lead the way; they will fly alongside the fleet on the right flank. Once they enter space travel mode, they will not stop again and will proceed directly to their destination.
Looking at the documents, Yunlan said excitedly, "The fleet here alone has 102 large warships, 304 medium warships, and as many as a thousand small warships. As for the warriors, there are also many strong ones. There are 78 level 14 experts including us, more than 15 level 13 experts, and as many as 32 level 12 experts!"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Announce this number to all Earth warships to boost morale! Let every soldier understand that we already have such powerful strength just from the mid-section merging."
After a brief rest, all the warships underwent a complete overhaul of their outer armor before commencing space travel. This journey would take approximately two months in the cosmic calendar and three months in the Earth calendar. Following this voyage, all the warships would reach the center of the galaxy to engage in the final battle with the Awakeners.
During this space voyage, Li Chenglong planned to sleep most of the time, striving to get himself into the best possible condition to prepare for any potential fierce battles.
