The last human in the universe

Chapter 260 Mortias
In the core meeting room, the civilization leaders once again fell silent.

Everyone is thinking about this matter in their hearts.

The main force changed course, and it was evident that their primary objective was still space travel, not contact with the fleets of human civilization—war, exchange, trade, annihilation, whatever.

But they sent a small spaceship to come, what do they want to do?
"No matter what the purpose of this fourth-level civilization is, in their view, they all believe that their purpose can be achieved through this one spaceship. If they are malicious, then what they think is that this Just one spaceship can overwhelm all our combat forces."

A war commissioner said slowly.

He did not speculate about "if this level [-] civilization is well-intentioned".The reason is simple, no need.

Civilization leaders need to ensure the security of civilization.If this level [-] civilization is well-intentioned, then our side doesn't need to make any preparations at all.All the preparations made by human civilization are only used to face the situation of "this fourth-level civilization is malicious".

Zhao Changxing looked at another war commissioner.The war commissioner is known for his strategic vision.

He has the ability to judge what kind of application scenarios this technology will have in the real battlefield when a certain new technology has just appeared, or has not yet appeared, and it only exists in theory. How to maximize combat power, or how to prepare for it, and what impact will it have on the overall form of warfare, what changes and so on.

For more than a hundred years, the rapid advancement of human civilization and technology has spawned many new technologies.And his arrangements and predictions have been proven to be correct, even ahead of schedule, in actual combat exercises countless times.As a result, his status has also been established.

At this moment, Zhao Changxing hoped to learn from him whether, in the war forms and modes of the fourth-level civilization, there is no possibility of one battleship overwhelming a third-level peak civilization with millions of warships.

Human beings have not reached the fourth level of civilization.However, the overall technological level of the fourth-level civilization can be predicted temporarily.This gave the war commissioner the basic conditions to speculate on this issue.

At this moment, his expression was extremely serious.He knew that his own judgment would to some extent determine the decision-making of the entire leadership and the next strategy of the entire civilization.

He closed his eyes and began to think carefully.

More specific model establishment, numerical calculation, etc. are no longer necessary at this moment.Because too much has been done in the past.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"Impossible. Based on the conjectures of the technology of the fourth-level civilization based on our existing data, I can conclude that it is impossible for even a peak-level civilization of the fourth level to fight against a million warships of the peak civilization of the third level with one battleship. "

Hearing this, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... maybe there is another possibility."

This turning point made people's hearts rise again.

"Beheading, kidnapping, coercion." He spit out three words.

Zhao Changxing frowned slightly.

In a frontal confrontation, one warship cannot be the opponent of a million warships.But if, relying on its powerful strength and performance, this warship drives straight into Huanglong, captures the Yuanhang No. [-] spaceship with all the leaders of civilization at the moment, and then uses it to blackmail the entire fleet to do certain things ?

This situation is possible.

Zhao Changxing said in a deep voice: "Everyone will immediately disperse to different spaceships. At the same time, the human civilization government will issue an announcement that any civilization leader who falls into a state of coercion will immediately lose his qualification as a civilization leader. All are invalid. Including me. At the same time, if the spaceships in the fleet are of certain importance, if they are supplies, they will also be dispersed immediately. If they are important data, they should be backed up at multiple points immediately."

"Yes."

Realizing the urgency of this matter, the leaders of the civilization immediately began to evacuate and arrived at dozens of other spaceships located in different places in the fleet.Then log in to the virtual meeting room and continue the meeting in cyberspace.

"Strategic forecasts cannot be [-]% accurate. Any omission of details may lead to a final result that is very different from what we think. It is the same now."

The war commissioner continued: "Based on the existing conditions, I can only make such a judgment, but please pay attention, this may be wrong."

Without reaching the level of level [-] civilization, it is impossible to fully understand what level [-] civilization is like.Maybe a certain small detail that was overlooked by people developed into an extremely important technology in the fourth-level civilization stage, and caused a huge change in its combat effectiveness?
Maybe this spaceship can really fight against a million warships?

Zhao Changxing nodded slightly: "Any judgment must be made on the basis of existing information. We will do our best to prepare. Next, let's take a look at the spaceship that came to contact us representing the will of civilization. It's about trying to do something."

Time passed slowly.Soon, the spacecraft that had been observed by people began to decelerate rapidly in the vast space.The direction of its tail flame was roughly aimed at the human fleet, so its brightness increased rapidly, becoming more and more conspicuous.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly shortening.The string in people's hearts is getting tighter and tighter.

Hundreds of millions of troops are waiting.Millions of battleships are lined up, and countless automated combat equipment can be activated at any time.The eyes of tens of billions of people are staring at it, not daring to relax a bit.

"Based on the current speed, the two sides will reach the closest distance in about an hour!"

Due to the effect of relativity, the speed of time passing felt by our side and that spaceship is not consistent at this moment.One hour is only what one's own side feels, and what the intelligent life in that spaceship feels is even shorter.

In the virtual conference room, dozens of civilization leaders are all online, waiting for any latest news.

"Report! We have received a radio signal from the other party. It is currently being deciphered and is expected to be completed within 5 minutes."

At this moment, an important message came from the Outer Intelligence Office.

People's spirits tense again.

Everyone realizes the importance of this message.Because obviously, the purpose of that fourth-level civilization contacting the human civilization fleet is very likely to be in this message.

"Threat? Coercion? Ask us to surrender? If we don't surrender, send a fleet to attack? Is this spaceship an emissary?"

At this moment, thousands of thoughts passed through the hearts of civilization leaders.But no one spoke out their speculation.

"Report! Information deciphering completed!"

A text message was immediately placed on the screen in front of every civilization leader.

"The war affecting all the top civilizations in the river system has already begun, and the entire river system will face disaster. Soon, even this space here will be affected. Only the more fringe places in the river system can let us middle and low-level Civilization has found a place to live. It is too late to escape with all your strength, why are you still advancing into the river system?"

"Ok?"

Seeing this piece of information, Zhao Changxing was taken aback.

He never expected that the content of the message would be like this.

Could it be that this spaceship broke away from the main force and approached the human fleet alone, just to warn the human fleet?

Are they well-intentioned?

"A war involving all the top civilizations in the river system"?Is this referring to the "star disaster" in the mouth of Cadillac civilization?Is it a series of strange changes in the direction from the interior of the river system that our own side observed with our own eyes before?

Are these three the same thing?
Soon, even this space here will be affected?Could it be that the scope of this war, or the natural disasters of the stars, is still expanding?
Only the edge of the river system has a place to live?That super civilization inexplicably sent human civilization thousands of light-years away because of this incident?

At this moment, countless thoughts quickly turned in Zhao Changxing's mind.

"Use the other party's language and text to send them the following message: Our civilization has observed some strange phenomena from the inner direction of the river system, such as the disappearance of stars, suspected space distortion, etc. I don't know if this is because of what you said' War' effects? And, how fast does the disaster spread? How far is it safe to flee?"

"Yes. Sent!"

Once again, people began to wait a long time.

At this moment, the two parties have different perceptions of the passage of time.And because the movement speed of both sides is too fast, it greatly prolongs the time required for information transmission.

During this waiting, the reply finally arrived when the spaceship passed by at an extremely fast speed less than 100 million kilometers away from the outermost detectors of the human fleet.

"This is war. We don't know how fast the disaster will spread. It depends on the mood of the top civilization participating in the war. As for where is safe, we also don't know. We only know that the farther away from the river system, the safer .Okay, run away quickly, I'm going back to civilization too."

Zhao Changxing said in a deep voice: "Continue to send the following message: Thank you for your warning. Could you please tell us the name of your civilization. If we meet again in the future, we will thank you in person."

During another long wait, the warship got farther and farther away.It wasn't until the probe was almost out of touch with its coordinates that the reply finally arrived.

The voice of the head of the intelligence department rang.

"Leader, because the signal interference is too strong, we failed to fully capture this message, and only received the first two words. However, due to the lack of follow-up information, we were unable to translate these two words into human language alone.

Without translation, if it is transliterated directly, it is probably pronounced like this.

Mortias. "

"Just call them the Mortias civilization." Zhao Changxing murmured, "Mortias, Mortias..."

He fell into deep thought again.
