Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 815 Everything goes well

After humans left, this star field, which was originally located between the stars, returned to silence. If no civilization happened to pass by here, no one would know that an interstellar war had taken place here. Even if there were intelligent life forms looking up at the starry sky in the nearest star to this location, they would find the starry sky extremely quiet.

Because for civilizations that have not yet set foot in the interstellar space, the starry sky is too vast, and the noise caused by this interstellar war cannot be detected by their technology.

Countless warship wreckages have been abandoned by humans. However, if the dynamic picture civilization comes to investigate, they will definitely find that these war wreckages belong to human civilization. If they find them early, they may be able to detect the direction in which the human civilization fleet left. After all, the track of warp speed navigation will exist for some time.

Of course, these are all things that happened later. The human civilization fleet has already left. When human civilization left, the dynamic picture civilization knew that the individual lives for which they had rented the level-five civilization spaceship were still dreaming. They had no idea that humans could actually destroy the level-five civilization spaceship.

However, the Lyra, which had been chasing along the warp speed track all the way, indeed caught up with the second and third fleets in the interstellar space, and after saying hello, it passed them and headed for the target star system ahead of time.

Tianqin arrived there first to investigate the situation.

During the greeting process, the Tianqin naturally shared the third-level warp technology with the Second and Third Fleets, but the Second and Third Fleets had fewer people than the First Fleet, although they now had the largest number of warships. So if they wanted to complete the engine upgrade, they had to wait until they arrived at the target star system and ask the First Fleet for help while providing supply support.

The people in the First Fleet are now at the level of either engineers or scientific researchers because they were forced to study in the Pioneer microuniverse.

The three fleets had a total of more than three million warships at full strength, but now there are only 300,000 ships left. However, there were no accidents this time. The three fleets reunited again and stayed in this star system that is not even in the human database.

The fleet spent seven years here upgrading the engines of all the remaining warships, which was very efficient, and then they set out on an interstellar voyage again in a hurry, naturally to find the main body of human civilization. The First Fleet had already agreed on a location with the main body of civilization, and the straight-line distance was about 2,000 light years.

Because the journey is long, the human fleet will not stop at each star system as usual, but will cross many stars at once, with the goal of a star 430 light years away, where they will resupply and continue sailing.

When a human planetary battleship is fully filled with fuel, it can travel about 500 light years from a star at a time. A level 4 civilization probably has the same navigation capability. Of course, it will be affected by factors such as the battleship's mass, engine structure, and fuel storage capacity. There will be a deviation in range, but the difference is less than a hundred light years.

A range of 500 light years is considered a level that any normal level 4 civilization can achieve.

However, humans will certainly not run out of fuel all at once. They have to reserve some fuel to deal with possible emergencies, so they usually only run more than 400 light years.

Such a voyage would only take a dozen years. If you are lucky, you can reunite with the main body of human civilization after five stops. I believe that by then the main fleet of human civilization will have completed the third-generation warp speed upgrade. After all, the technology has been shared, and the main body of human civilization has so many scientists that they can digest the knowledge at any time.

They only need to find a star system to dock when they decide it is safe, and then directly update it like the second and third fleets.

The two parts of humanity are moving silently at warp speed through the starry sky, both looking forward to the day of reunion.

The goal of this trip to the Perseus Arm was achieved. The Pioneer's treasure was obtained. Although there was only one left due to its age, it was still perfect. There was indeed a war with the other two civilizations, but there was no loss of human personnel. The warships lost by the entire fleet were all warships driven by strong artificial intelligence. Indeed, in terms of cost, the cost of creating a combat-type strong artificial intelligence is much greater than the cost of a human being born and raised, and even higher than directly letting 20,000 people board the warships and drive the warships themselves. If calculated in this way, the loss of humanity is indeed very heavy.

However, Yue Yuan felt it was worth it. There is no war without casualties, especially in an interstellar war. If one person dies, all the people on the ship will die. Like the Orange Star Civilization, no one knows how many billions of people died this time. The starry sky was stained with blood.

With this comparison, humans feel it is worth it.

This has further reassured the human fleet that it will continue to develop the route of strong artificial intelligence driving, but the number of people in some fleets will also be appropriately increased. For example, the number of people in the second and third fleets is too small, so that just like this time, even after sharing the third-generation warp technology, they still have to wait for the help of the first fleet to digest the knowledge and then upgrade.

The First Fleet will also be expanded in terms of personnel, not just pilots, but also all kinds of talent. As the flagship of civilization, the Lyra needs more scientists on board, because in the interstellar age, scientists are needed in almost everything.

War requires more than just a few pilots, because technology is combat power.

Time flies. Not long after the human fleet left, a fleet indeed arrived in the star field where humans and the dynamic picture civilization had fought. It was a huge fleet with a very large number of people. After they arrived here, they explored the wreckage of the warship, and then soon left in a hurry in an unknown direction.

If humans saw this huge fleet, they would definitely recognize them as the fleet of the Orange Star Civilization. Moreover, it seems that it is not just one fleet, but a huge fleet that includes various types of spacecraft. It should be an entire Orange Star civilization.

These guys were once defeated by humans, but now they see the wreckage of human warships scattered all over the starry sky. I wonder how they feel. I wonder if they will thank the human warships for using more than one million wreckages to tell them that there is a more powerful existence in this star field.

Anyway, after they finished the detection, they ran away.

They must have analyzed some factors and realized that this star field is no longer safe.

In fact, the intersection between humans and Orange Star civilization or dynamic picture civilization is all because of interests. The trade market is interest, the pioneer treasure is also interest, and from peaceful exchanges to war conflicts, it is all because of interests.

Humanity also learned some lessons from this contact with the two civilizations, and it also refreshed humanity's understanding of interstellar civilization.

Even if the sixth-level civilization in the Milky Way has gone into hiding to lick its wounds, on the surface the Milky Way will temporarily become a stage for a group of fourth- and fifth-level civilizations. It looks much more peaceful, but it is still dangerous, just not as obvious.

Communication between civilizations still needs to be cautious, as the pressure for civilization to survive still exists.

Every civilization has its own lofty ideals, but if you want to realize the lofty ideals, you must first allow the civilization to continue.
