"To achieve this economically, at present, in the eyes of our earthlings, it is obviously a fantasy now. It can be said that the achievements of our entire earth civilization are driven by currency. The results produced, once there is no driving ability - not only can we not guide people to produce, but we cannot guide people to spend money."

"Since the federal civilization in the setting can do this, at least they have formed a high degree of identity in the social system—otherwise, imagine if you don't spend money to buy anything on Earth, what would it be? What result?"

"It has been said that people's desires in this world are things that can never be satisfied. No matter how developed the productive forces are, they can't really satisfy people's needs. Not to mention, many people's needs are purely competitive."

"In my opinion, to achieve this, the greatest possibility is that they have formed a simple and clear standard in social morality-anything beyond a certain standard is an unreasonable demand. It is a reasonable demand."

"If the economy is controlled, in fact, such standards must always exist, including the era of planned economy on the earth, including the rationing of materials during wartime-what materials can be consumed, what materials can be consumed in a limited amount, and what materials cannot be consumed. This standard itself implies a certain morality."

"I have an idea. If there is such a standard in the Federation, then there must be some kind of indicator corresponding to this standard. This kind of indicator may not be currency. It may be the same as the level or score of an online game. a reference value."

"The meaning of this value should still be currency in essence—it's just different from pure currency, it measures the moral evaluation within a society."

"In fact, even on Earth, the meaning of making more money is not making money itself. To a large extent, many people make money to gain social attention and evaluation. This evaluation has a great impact on shaping a person's sense of existence. Of great significance, it is often the foundation of a mature social personality and the foundation of a civilization's cohesion."

As for the third topic, the discussion process was not smooth.

The first two topics have already made many participants marvel at the foresight and meticulous logic of this fabricated "game" in all aspects. The third topic itself involves more confidential content, and it is more difficult to use the "game setting "Prevarication.

These include the design of the federal civilized spacecraft, aliens, and the appearance of their military fortress... These things are different from the previous information, and they are all very "hard" technical information. As long as they form a document during the discussion, this knowledge is very It may be subtly spread by the people participating in the discussion.

Leaking the secrets is unlikely, but it is conceivable that it will definitely have associations with the existing technical system. In case a few scientists are affected by this and make corresponding attempts...

Therefore, in this topic, the amount of information provided by Qinglan Consulting is particularly vague, which also makes it difficult for the participants to accurately grasp the specific matters discussed. As a result, almost all the things discussed at the meeting are not right. .

For example, several experts insisted that if there were a large number of spaceships that could escape the gravity of the planets, then the war between the planets would become a battle mode similar to naval battles.

And because the cost of reconnaissance in space is too low, the two sides are almost fighting openly, and there is almost no possibility of deceiving each other—so the war must either not be fought, or it must be that one side has already won the battle, and you can calculate that you can Victory is achieved - and the result is sure to be as calculated.

So they don't think there is any possibility of delaying the war at all.

This even guessed the most basic state wrong, and it is naturally impossible to have any results in the following discussions.

But Wu Xiaoqing can understand it. After all, if others want to be able to answer well, they should be able to ask good questions when they ask questions.

After the consultation meeting, Qinglan Consulting almost got off work.

The rest of the company had almost left, so Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen stayed, bumped into each other again, and exchanged ideas about the afternoon meeting.

The topics Shen Changwen participated in were more detailed, including the estimation of the federal industrial capacity, the assumption of the expansion of the war scale, and the management method of the brain... Among them, the estimation of the federal industrial capacity surprised Shen Changwen the most.

According to the various visual materials provided by Wu Xiaoqing before the search and rescue team, it can probably be judged that the Federation already has the industrial capability to completely transform a planet.

Using "industry" to describe the power of this civilization seems a bit...too earthly. In the context of the earth, the production form of industry is the most terrifying form of productivity that humans have mastered and can transform nature.

But according to the data provided by Wu Xiaoqing, the capability of the entire federation is probably not as simple as "industry". This is not what the so-called "industrial" capabilities can do.

They have all visited the Second Earth before, and they also know that in the Second Earth, many cities come from the underground, from reality, and are completely simulated according to the real cities in reality.

The so-called underground city is not the concept of underground fortifications on the earth. Dig tens of meters underground, up to 200 meters, add some cement to reinforce it, and dig some tunnels to connect it, and then it will be completed.

In the Commonwealth, the underground city is almost completely three-dimensional. In many cases, the underground depth of a city even far exceeds its ground diameter.If the shape is used to describe many cities in the Second Federation, most of their cities are columnar-calculated from the ground down.

The earth in the Commonwealth has been almost completely hollowed out, but this is not the most incredible thing—the most surprising thing is that after the original liquid core is now replaced, the structure and gravity of the entire planet can still remain. was perfectly maintained.

In other words, the Federation not only has the ability to develop the entire planet, but also has the ability to maintain it. —Maybe still have the ability to manufacture.

Once such terrible productivity is put into war, what kind of scene might it create...

The thoughts of some people in the consultation meeting made Shen Changwen's hair stand on end.

A military expert from the United States mentioned that since the Federation can completely hollow out even a planet, and even transform it into a fortress——it may not be particularly difficult to go one step further and find a way to move this kind of fortress. matter.

Imagine if a planet was completely repurposed as an offensive space carrier, if both civilizations used this method, when the two fleets met each other... without even needing them to actually collide, just each other Entering each other's gravitational sphere, it spells disaster for all combatants.

On this basis, let's imagine deeply. In fact, with this level of natural transformation ability, the most practical weapon for fighting solar system wars should be this kind of gravity weapon.

They can use a planet as a weapon to throw at the enemy. As long as they find a way to activate it and push it over, there is almost no room for the opponent to resist.It was as if two people were fighting fiercely, picking up a shot put and hitting each other on the head.

If it is a civilized child like the earth, naturally he can't hold a shot put, and he doesn't need to worry about smashing others, but for the Federation and the intelligent body, they can definitely do this in theory, and as long as they do it Then there is no room for recovery—as long as the shot put is thrown, it is impossible to catch it firmly with both hands... It is even more impossible to expect the strength of the head to exceed the shot put...

There is also a Frenchman's idea, which is a little more romantic-he thinks that if he is one of the parties in the war, he can continuously create huge fragments in a specific direction, place them in the orbit of the opposing planet, and create a string of beautiful meteor showers ——The purpose of these meteor showers is to slow down the target planet due to the impact when it finally passes through these fragments.

If possible, it is best to pre-bury such debris on the other side's track... It's like stuffing the tracks of a train with gravel.

Derailment is the most serious thing when a train encounters debris, but if the orbit of the planet is full of low-speed, huge mass debris, let alone the threat of these romantic debris meteor showers directly hitting the planet itself, after the planet is finally decelerated s consequence……

The French called his tactic the stepping on the brakes tactic, forcing the opponent to use a lot of energy to accelerate the planet when encountering this tactic.In space, guiding a huge mass body to produce a slight offset in a specific direction consumes much less energy than actually accelerating and decelerating a planet, and it is much easier to implement.

The more Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen talked, the more nervous they felt, and they felt that the difficulty of this mission began to rise sharply.

The two began to really realize how dangerous it is to deal with a civilization that is much more advanced than the earth. In the eyes of the people on earth, this kind of warfare is completely a mythical fighting method. But for the federation, it is entirely possible to become a reality.

And what they have to do is to prevent this from happening.

After the change, Wu Xiaoqing seldom loses confidence in one thing, but now, both he and Shen Changwen can see this worry in each other's eyes.

"What you said just now is not what worries me the most." When the two were talking just now, the search and rescue team was always there, but they didn't interrupt. Now that they finished talking, the search and rescue team made a summary for them, " What I am most worried about is that the people of the Federation are not using these tactics at all, which we seem to be very feasible."

Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen looked at each other and immediately understood what the search and rescue team meant.

In the war against the Federation and the intelligence body, they must all be regarded as laymen, but now they laymen can imagine, some of the simplest tactics, have such a great deterrent ability-but on the actual battlefield, But I haven't seen this tactic being used at all.

One of the most reasonable explanations is that the logic of real war games is far beyond their imagination, and the hidden dangers in real wars are also far beyond their imagination.

It's like if primitive people were allowed to see the life of modern people on earth, the best way they could imagine modern people fighting is to drive each other to death by driving a car - this is the most direct and looks the most terrifying.

But when they actually see the battlefield of the earthlings and see that there is not a car on the battlefield—that is when they should be most afraid.

"The more advanced the war between civilizations, the more civilized it looks in terms of form. I have good news for you. Yevgeny just got the news from the intelligent body," the search and rescue team said. It's safe."

"Are we safe?" Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen looked at each other, and soon realized that the collection team was referring to their consciousness copy data.

"Yes," the search and rescue team said, "the federal government didn't catch you. The Changbai and Changxing we rescued helped you escape."

"But even if you run, you won't be able to escape the control area of ​​the entire Federation." Even if the search and rescue team came to the earth, it would still be unavoidable to be found by humans, let alone the three pieces of data copied by the three of them.

"No, according to what the intelligent body said, your replicas can escape to a large extent... The question now is whether we need them to be free, or we need them to be arrested."
