The last human in the universe

Chapter 183
When this row after row of data and numerous remote detection images were presented in front of people, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became dignified.

In the molecular cloud that envelops the entire open star cluster, one of them, located near the G1 galaxy, is excited for some reason and thus becomes "bright".

This is of course invisible to the naked eye.But under various extremely high-precision remote observation equipment, this is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.

In fact, in this open star cluster, it is not uncommon for molecular clouds to be excited and brighten up.Except for some that have been proven to be caused by wars, the fleet navigation of certain third-level civilizations, etc., there are also many caused by natural phenomena, such as some violent stellar activities, certain collisions, and the like.

But what I saw this time has a completely different meaning from the previous ones.

First of all, it is definitely not a natural phenomenon.Because there is no such energy explosion near the G1 galaxy—if it exists, then the entire physical science system of human beings will be rewritten.

This must be man-made.But if it's just artificially caused, it doesn't matter.Because there are also many in this star cluster.

The most critical point is that the excited and brightened molecular cloud area is changing rapidly.This means that the artifact that energized the molecular cloud, brightening it, is moving fast.However, the direction of its movement is exactly pointing to its own side.

Including Zhao Changxing, many civilized leaders and members of the war committee were silent together.

At this moment, people understood what these data meant almost instantly.

Our side changed course midway and decided to go to star H1 outside this open star cluster instead of star G1 as originally planned. I thought this matter would end here.But I didn't expect that if my side didn't make trouble, the trouble would come to the door by itself.

In this G1 galaxy, there must be a certain force.This force has been aware of its own existence a long time ago, and knows that its own side is approaching there—because the giant spaceship’s tail flame is too violent, it will inevitably excite the molecular cloud to make it brighter, and in a certain position Within a distance, the existence of certain observation means can be detected.

It's unobscurable.Just as one's own side can judge the existence of the other side's fleet through the bright area excited by the other side's fleet at this moment, the other side must also be able to detect its own side.

Both sides are inseparable from each other.

After realizing that their own side was approaching, they most likely made the decision to annex their own side, and planned to wait in the G1 galaxy, waiting for their own side to come to their door.However, after Zhao Changxing made the faint hope of staying away from this open star cluster and fighting for it, the other party saw that his plan was in vain, so he could only organize an expedition fleet, take the initiative to attack, and come to chase his side.

At this moment, people have already determined that a war is probably inevitable.

As for the peaceful purpose of the other party sending a huge expeditionary fleet to chase their own fleet, such as trade, communication, etc., no one is stupid enough to think so.

"According to the observation data, with the opponent's acceleration ability, it will take about 13 years to catch up with us."

A war commissioner said solemnly: "This will be a typical space chase."

This kind of combat subject, when it was in the Rakai 9352 galaxy, the human space force had conducted a lot of specialized training.When it comes to tactical literacy, tactical command, strategy formulation, etc., the war committee has absolute confidence, and the confidence is no worse than anyone else.

Of course, this needs to add a limitation, that is, under the current technology level.

but……

"This is not a war at the same level of technology." Another war commissioner said: "The other party is a real third-level civilization, with complete third-level civilization technology and combat power. And we, only in energy technology A few aspects such as advanced technology and advanced technology have reached the third-level civilization level, and most of the rest are still in the second-level civilization stage."

This is a very important question.I know my own affairs, although from the outside world, a civilization that can carry out interstellar voyages and has the technology to produce antimatter on a large scale must be a third-level civilization. When planning to attack such a civilization, it will definitely follow the evaluation Arranged by the strength of the opponent, that is to say, the opponent must have the confidence to win such a third-level civilization before taking the initiative to start the war.

But I'm afraid even the enemy can't think of it. In his eyes, the enemy who is actually at the third-level civilization stage, his real combat power is still at the second-level civilization stage.

This may be a pleasant surprise for the enemy.But for our own side, it made things worse.

"The enemy's combat power is probably not that of a real third-level civilization." Zhao Changxing made a judgment after a little thought: "War is a continuation of politics, and there should always be sufficient reasons to start a war. , It should be driven by enough interests. Think about it, what is the reason for the enemy to start a war against us? What are they most likely to see in us?"

Zhao Changxing's words aroused people's thinking.

When thinking about this issue, we must put our position on the other side, not on our own side.

If one side is the other side, then what is the reason for one side to start such a war?
For a moment, there was a burst of enlightenment in people's hearts.

"They are backed by galaxies and have sufficient resources to support them. We are located in space, and we can only rely on our own reserves for material consumption. Therefore, materials must not be the reason for war. I think the reason for their war can only be technology. Or Going one step further... the technology system."

"If you think from the standpoint of the enemy, they will think that we are a real third-level civilization through the interstellar voyage. But through the size of the fleet and the number of people that can be carried, they will definitely think that we are a weak civilization. In this way, the success rate of acquiring technology or the technology system will be higher, and the reason for launching an interstellar war will be more sufficient."

Thinking to this point, the next inference can be easily made.

"What kind of third-level civilization would be interested in the technological system of a civilization that is in a weak stage—and only at the beginning of the third level?"

Obviously, a real third-level civilization would not be interested in this.Because they have their own complete technology system.The only reason that might tempt them a little bit is that they hope to use the collision of different civilizations and different technological systems to draw inferences by analogy and bring inspiration to their own side.But in this star cluster where wars are frequent and exchanges are equally frequent, this reason seems reluctant.

That being the case, then the situation of the other party is also very easy to guess.In other words, there is a high probability that the other party does not have their own technology system, and their technology is not complete.However, combined with the chaos of the open cluster and the remoteness of the G1 galaxy, a bold speculation emerges.

"This is most likely an alliance of many forces composed of survivors of civilization, defectors, gamblers, and adventurers."

In a galaxy with complex sources and no unified order, there is a high probability that there will not be a complete and unified force, but many forces living together.

I am afraid that within star clusters where there are many complete third-level civilizations, those complete third-level civilizations will not allow a unified force to appear in the G1 galaxy.Because it would be a threat to them.

"Many small forces interested in a complete technological system formed an alliance and formed an expeditionary fleet to come to war with us..."

This speculation has considerable credibility.

As a result, another problem emerged.

"In the other party's expeditionary fleet, there are bound to be many barriers and complicated internal struggles. It is very likely that there will be problems such as poor government orders, poor coordination, insufficient coordination, low trust, and even internal mutual defense. In addition to these The small forces do not have a complete technological system at all, and their internal technology has a high probability of only some technological fragments of the third-level civilization. For various reasons, I think that our rating of the enemy's combat power can be lowered by a large stage."

After reaching this conclusion, people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, only feeling that the big rock weighing on their hearts was much lighter.

Knowing the opponent's weaknesses, and knowing that the opponent is not that strong, then you can make many targeted arrangements to greatly increase your side's winning rate in the war.

"Let's do a simulated attack and defense." Zhao Changxing finally made a decision: "Let's see if our fleet can win against such a loose alliance that does not have a complete three-level civilization technology system and has deep internal barriers."

"Yes."

Under the organization of the War Committee, many strategic and tactical experts, staff officers and commanders at all levels, military experts, weapons experts, equipment experts, and scientists of various disciplines all participated, and it only took more than a month. After setting up such a platform, the two groups of people controlled different fleets and started a battle in the virtual world.

Every battle will generate a huge amount of data, and there are tens of thousands of staff in charge of processing these data.Each battle would take about three days. Hundreds of battles were carried out. These tens of thousands of staff officers and more other personnel were busy for almost a year.

In the end, a report document was placed in front of the civilized leaders headed by Zhao Changxing.

"Our final conclusion is that even if the enemy's combat power rating is fully lowered by a large level, our space fleet will still have less than one percent victory rate in the face of such an enemy.

In hundreds of simulated battles, we tried every means and adjusted all conceivable strategies and tactics. The final result was that we failed 103 times, and the only one was a tie. "

　Uh, I originally planned to ask for two days off, but I didn't expect that I was in a better state today, and I actually conceived some plots and wrote a chapter.

　　Then I don't want to ask for leave, I just go all out and make up the chapter that was broken yesterday.

　　This chapter is considered yesterday, Rainbow will go to code again, and strive to write another chapter today, and write today's chapter as well.
