Colonial potential: high (rich psionic resources, suitable as a long-term stronghold)

Known garrison: Gis foreign troops Mi Go forces (unknown number)

Geographical Characteristics

Floating zone: There are a large number of suspended rock layers that can be used for concealment or ambush.

Fracture zone: Some areas are connected to pure astral realms and may encounter psychic storms or astral creatures.

Underground mine tunnels: A large number of blue crystal mine tunnels have been detected, which may be an enemy underground facility.

Strategic Note: The Kresh Wall Hub is a high-strategic value goal. Once occupied, it will greatly strengthen the military delivery capabilities of the courtyard in the astral realm and directly threaten the core defense line of the Gith foreigners.

Xia Xiu's fingertips slowly tapped on the operating table, with a uniform rhythm and profound meaning.

His golden eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the navigator Selas Sephalon standing in front of him. His three deep eyes refracted the flowing light of the ether, as if he could directly look at the essence of the astral world.

"Selas, how do you view the development of ships - mainly Terra."

Xia Xiu's tone was calm, but with a hint of puzzling meaning.

This question seems to have nothing to do with the current Kresh Hub conquest, but Silas knew that every question asked by the Lord of the Courtyard would never be a purposeless chat.

The principal asked about Terra's ship. If he set his sights on long-term luck, it means that the principal had a lot of Terra's...

Thinking of this, Selas immediately restrained his thoughts. It was too early to think about this.

After all, the Kingdom of Heaven has not expressed any ambition at all.

The three-eyed student put his thoughts on the issue of the Lord of the Courtyard. He pondered for a moment and took a step forward.

As the commander of the fleet, he replied firmly:

"You know that all fleet deterrence systems based on the strong ships and strong firepower are fundamentally dependent on firepower projection capabilities."

Silas' tone was unchanged, as if he was stating some unquestionable objective fact.

He continued:

"The most direct source of deterrence for the fleet is powerful firepower, including; - long-range missile strikes, orbital bombing, air strike support, mobile combat, expeditionary strikes and other means to ensure tactical coverage and depth of strike."

"But, Terra's situation is completely different."

Silas frowned slightly and continued:

"In Terra, ship technology cannot fully utilize the advantages of "sturdy ships and powerful guns" because of the existence of the Crystal Sky Barrier."

Xia Xiu paused for a moment, continued to tap the operating table, signaling Silas to continue.

"Terra is surrounded by an impenetrable barrier, and all ships can only move within the boundaries of Terra."

Silas' voice was as steady as ever, but with a sense of rational analysis.

"Except for the space-based weapon system owned by the Kingdom of Heaven, ships of other forces cannot truly enter the height of Terra and cannot enter the orbital combat system that has truly advantages.

Crystal Sky not only blocked Terra, but also blocked Terra's high orbit and synchronous orbit, preventing ships from leaving the planets and forcing ships to only navigate in low or specific orbits.

Any strike outside (except designated space-based weapons) cannot be bombarded by Crystal Sky to Terra, and the ships inside cannot get out - even if they rely on ether navigation.

Moreover, because Crystal Sky has a unique threshold feedback mechanism - the ship's firepower cannot be fully utilized, because if the threshold is exceeded, the turbulence formed by Crystal Sky will directly crush the ship, so the ship needs to lower the altitude and pay attention to threshold fluctuations at any time.

Therefore, in this environment, ships cannot rule Terra and can only linger on specific tracks, providing limited fire support.

What’s more serious is that the etheric channel around the Crystal Sky is disordered, which means that many fleet tactics with ‘transition advantage’ as the core cannot play a role in Terra’s battlefield.”

Silas' third eye closed slightly, and the spiritual veins on his forehead appeared faintly, obviously doing deeper calculations and deductions.

He continued:

"In this extreme environment, the development of Terra's fleet has thus divided into two main schools - one is the ground STC integrated war fortress system of Olegent's [Mobile Castle]; the other is the Iberian [Invincible Fleet] system and the Ether Four-Chain Deep Space Fleet system of the Edishi Federation."

He paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and continued:

"Oleging's development path is relatively closed. They rely on floating cities and heavy land fortresses as main combat units, and ships are only used for defense and short-range support.

I don't know much about this model, but I can be sure that their focus is on ground warfare, not Starfleet, and their development path is indeed successful enough."

Selas slowly turned his neck, as if he was organizing the wording, and then said:

“I know more about the fleet studies in Iberia.

Their invincible fleet system relies on specific etheric chains to operate, and when necessary, it conducts limited firepower projections in the first chain, second chain and other areas through various pedigree resources and rituals."

"Terra's etheric conductor is somewhat similar to the other side of the crystal sky, which is a projection of the etheric ocean in low-dimensional space."

Silas's eyes flashed with a glimmer.

"Ships can sail in this field, but they cannot directly affect the situation in Terra.

In other words, ships can rely on guide chains to cruise outside Terra, but cannot penetrate Crystal Sky for large-scale strategic bombing.

This has led to the inability of Terra's deep space ships to form an absolute orbital firepower advantage. Even if they bounce into Terra by relying on the guide chain, fleet operations are more inclined toward near-Earth orbit, maneuverable air combat, and aircraft carrier-style combat, rather than unilateral dimensionality reduction strikes."

Silas sighed lightly, a hint of caution in his tone:

"There is no ship with absolute height advantage, which means that the fleet cannot completely crush the ground forces, and the role of anti-ship tactics is therefore infinitely amplified - especially the ultimate individual anti-ship tactics of Weili Unit.

The only way for all fleets to truly influence the battle situation in Terra is to establish enough strategic hubs within Terra.

The etheric guide chain is set up from the inside, control the guide chain, and the deep space firepower of the fleet is brought into the battlefield through the guide link."

"but--"

Silas' tone was slightly heavier.

“Countries have long taken most of Terane’s hubs as their own.

Even if a fleet war occurs in the future, it will inevitably completely evolve into a deep space guide chain battlefield independent of Terra's main body. Ships can influence Terra on this battlefield, but they themselves cannot become the ultimate weapon to determine Terra's future."

"Fighting for the hub route connected to the etheric guide chain within Terra, controlling the energy nodes is the theme of future Terra fleet war."

Silas's answer made Xia Xiu very satisfied. The other party had many views and was right. Fleet War was indeed limited to the Ether Four Guidance Chain area because of Crystal Sky.

Before, Iberia's [Invincible Fleet] was sunk a lot by us in the fourth guide chain...

He muttered in his heart.

To be honest, everyone in Terra said that holding a sword in the fourth kingdom of heaven was a disaster, and that was not a mess at all.

Everyone saw that the [Invincible Fleet] that Iberia had worked hard to accumulate, and after the fourth sword-holder in the Kingdom of Heaven made a fuss, it exploded directly in the fourth guide chain.

This matter is not a single case. When this unlucky thing goes to, wherever it is, where the forces or people in this place are designated to have something to happen!

At this moment, Xia Xiu reached out and rubbed his chin, and couldn't help but sigh at the development of Terra's fleet.

"As long as Crystal Sky exists for one day, Terra's fleet war can only peck at each other like a cage bird, which greatly reduces the intensity of the war.

The blockade of Terra by the gods instead suppressed the destruction of the planet and the further self-destruction of human civil war, which is still...
