Chapter 1062 -644: Captured_2
The plan was not aimed at the current military strength but rather to leverage the relatively stable environment within Oasis Star along with its abundant energy and resources to achieve rapid population growth, preparing for the future in ten years.
Second, the Immortality Plan. By refining the combat strategies and focusing on elite pilots and top warriors as the core framework, a battlefield rescue team was established to increase the survival rate of warriors. In the past, due to the main principle of the Nameless Fleet being evasion and constantly shifting battle zones, it was almost impossible to rescue warriors who were injured but not dead and lost their mobility on the battlefield. Now, having Oasis Star as a stronghold, mankind switched from guerrilla warfare to positional warfare. Finally, they no longer had to abandon their incapacitated comrades and could start rescuing them.
Though it was called a rescue team, this elite special forces group played a crucial role on the battlefield. They never lingered in battle and crazily shuttled around, guided by escape pod signals, dragging back one injured but not dead comrade after another.
The average number of battles fought by warriors increased exponentially from 2.7 to 11.8 times. As the professional capabilities of the rescue team continued to improve and the survival skills of the warriors kept rising, this number was still increasing.
The so-called average number of battles referred to how many times a warrior went through before dying in action.
The current record holder for the Nameless Fleet was Tiffany Bell, who had participated in more than 9,000 battles. But with the average being only 2.7 times, the casualties were severe. The Oasis United Fleet raised the average to 11.8, inflating the limited military resources by a factor of 4.37 times out of thin air.
Andrei emphasized in his speech to the entire army that the Immortality Plan had become the main policy of the United Fleet, and they would continuously improve their equipment and combat tactics. They aimed to further raise the average number of battles from 11.8 to 100, or even higher, within two years.
Third, using the unique and abundant mineral resources inside Oasis Star to further improve the performance of the equipment. This included rapidly enhancing the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), creating more and better offline sub-AIs to gain an advantage for intelligent warfare in the plasmagnetic storm. At the same time, they finally began to phase out the old Folco Armor. The latest Royal Battle Armor, which had superior performance compared to the most advanced Folco Armor, was officially taken offline.
The Royal Battle Armor was 33 meters tall and featured a mechanical structure with transformable capabilities. Its acceleration, firepower, offline information functions, energy stability, and overload capacity all surpassed the Folco Armor by a wide margin. Additionally, with the support of Oasis Star’s unique resources, it could be mass-produced.
…
In the broader picture, within these few months, the United Fleet underwent more than thirty significant adjustments, fully showcasing mankind’s potential for warfare.
On a smaller scale, at the end of 2944, a young man with the surname Zheng made a name for himself.
At just 21 years old, Douglas Baker started as an ordinary warrior and quickly rose to the rank of colonel-class warrior in just a few months.
His brilliance was too dazzling.
Douglas Baker was one of the survivors of the 10881 Fleet.
When the Old Captain and other sixteen brave warriors sacrificed themselves, six-year-old Douglas had just been introduced to the armor and was only a D-Class warrior. He was injured in an early battle and retired to the rear lines, becoming a driver on one of the Sprout Ships.
At the age of six, he witnessed the Old Captain and his friends sacrificing themselves to cover the retreat, greatly damaging his spirit. As a result, his progress was slow for many years, and he was constantly receiving psychological intervention, even never stepping back onto the battlefield.
At the start of the Battle of Oasis Star, he was just an average C-Class combatant.
Due to the immense external pressure, the now 21-year-old Douglas Baker watched as one comrade after another never returned and finally volunteered for the suicide squad again, thinking that it would be easier to just die.
Unexpectedly, as he thirsted for death, he didn’t die. Instead, he transformed, as if a martial arts genius suddenly opened up his energy channels.
Two months after the beginning of the battle, he reached B-Class.
Three and a half months later, he reached A-Class.
Six months later, S-Class.
In the eighth month, with less than a hundred battles under his belt, he officially crossed the threshold of S-Class warriors, becoming a top warrior with his personal abilities still on the rise.
He possessed strong mental control, adaptability, and unimaginable emotional contagion abilities.
When he led a Special Attack Squad, the warriors in his team could often unleash even more potential under his spearhead attacks.

As his position continuously advanced, and his responsibilities grew increasingly significant, he gradually demonstrated outstanding on-the-spot decision-making abilities.
He began to realize that he should take responsibility for the lives of his comrades, unwittingly developing a keen intuition and precise small-scale battlefield judgment instincts.
He knew when his squad should unleash their full potential, when they should hide their weaknesses, and which actions would ensure the accomplishment of the overall strategic goals for the larger force.
Tiffany Bell commented on him, “Douglas Baker’s fighting style is different from mine, but I believe he has the same potential as me.”
Douglas Baker’s combat style was strikingly similar to that of the historical sage Harrison Clark, as if they were cut from the same cloth.
If his appearance and surname weren’t different from those of the sage Harrison Clark, many people might even mistake him for the sage having come early.
Douglas Baker was indeed outstanding, but he was just one example.
In these few months, there were countless heroes like him, but he was the most dazzling.
At the end of December in 2944, Douglas Baker, who had just been promoted to Major General as a Warrior, unfortunately encountered his greatest test.
He received intelligence that a Compound Eye Prism Ship had quietly approached a plasmagnetic storm and hovered in place for a full eight hours.
During these eight hours, there were hundreds of research-type Blade Mantises coming from the Compound Eye Prism Ship approaching the storm, and some Blade Mantises had even already begun to return.
It was likely that the Prism Ship had already obtained a significant amount of analysis data, and the mysteries of the plasmagnetic storm were at a high risk of being exposed.
Douglas Baker, who was not far away, decisively led five hundred warriors to ambush the Prism Ship, first deploying jamming bombs that could block information transmission, and then launching a high-intensity attack with the intent of tearing it apart.
However, it seemed that the Prism Ship had really made a breakthrough.
To cover its retreat, two fully-formed Slave Tribe fleets lurking nearby quickly approached.
Douglas Baker had no choice but to face the enemy’s military strength with his 500 men, a fight that under normal circumstances required at least a whole squad to handle.
In the end, Douglas Baker successfully destroyed the Prism Ship before it could transmit the information.
However, his personal Royal Armor was drained of energy and unable to move, so he had to eject in an escape pod.
Meanwhile, the rescue team in the distance was blocked by the two fully-formed Slave Tribe fleets in the outer layer.
Douglas Baker was unfortunately captured.
Indeed, he was not killed; he was captured alive.
This was not an isolated incident, but it represented a change in strategy by the Compound-Eyed Observers.
Before this, whether it was the Nameless Fleet or near the heartland of the Empire, the Compound-Eyed Observers would only occasionally capture human warriors and mostly chose to leave no survivors.
But after Douglas Baker, at least in the Oasis Star area, the Compound-Eyed Observers no longer killed incapacitated human warriors but, instead, captured them alive whenever possible.
…
Douglas Baker was furiously glaring with his eyes, frozen in the escape pod.
He wanted to struggle, but the pod was filled with a gellular substance pumped in by the enemy, leaving him unable to move.
Light was moving along the walls of the pod.
The enemy was cutting the pod’s panel.
He clenched his teeth, attempting to activate his personal combat suit time and time again, but the suit’s energy system was also sealed.
Finally, the pod’s panel was cut open.
He appeared in a vast crystal hall.
Glancing forward, he saw nothing, only several biomechanical arms swinging above his head.
“Hello, human.”
Douglas Baker suddenly turned around, his face filled with shock.
Behind him was a woman.
Or at least, she appeared to be human.
