Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

Combat spaceships, especially large combat spacecrafts, are the most important benchmark for measuring the technological strength of a civilization.

Under the premise that there is not much difference in strategic and tactical abilities - where can there be such uncanny calculations, and where can there be so many talented generals who can single-handedly defeat the weak and the strong. Now that the science of war has developed to its current stage, a fleet relies less and less on talented generals and more on the system.

As long as you have qualified military qualities, even the captain of a battleship or the commander of a squadron is actually a role similar to a screw.

Systematic war science does not require the so-called flash of inspiration and genius.

Han Yang knew that even if it was the Phix civilization or the Motan civilization, there was actually not much difference in the level of war command between their commanders and those of human civilization. Both sides are evenly matched.

Under such circumstances, the Beihe military exercise and the victory of mankind can be regarded as a real technological victory.

This cannot be faked, nor can it be opportunistic.

Then, a reality was clearly placed in front of the leaders of the other three major civilizations in the Yuanshan Star Region.

The human civilization that was reduced to a colony not long ago only took a few hundred years to accomplish what it had been unable to accomplish for thousands of years...

When the gap widened to a certain extent, the Motan civilization and the Phix civilization accepted this reality. Knowing that they could no longer catch up with human civilization, they lost their intention to compete with humans and began to live honestly. At the bottom, there is only competition for third and fourth places.

The Yuanshan Civilization was not willing to give in, and wanted to take back the first place in the next exercise.

In these years, Yuanshan Civilization has really worked hard to improve itself. Without making any major breakthroughs in basic science, it has tried to start from the application level and software level, but has achieved some results.

But in the next exercise, human civilization once again won the first place with an advantage of 1.2 points. The next time, they were still defeated by human civilization by 1.5 points.

After successive failures, Yuanshan Civilization finally recognized the reality and had to admit that human civilization was indeed ahead of itself.

"However... the point difference is so small, which proves that there are still some accidental factors. If we have better luck next time, it may not be impossible to regain the first place.

And, a drill is just a drill after all. Although it can restore the real battlefield environment as much as possible, it is not a real war after all.

Although the results of the exercise are a bit worse than yours, in a real fight, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. "

Faced with this result, the senior officials of Yuanshan Civilization had no choice but to think this way.

Does this idea make sense?

At least Han Yang thinks it makes sense. For ordinary civilization, this is indeed the case.

Real interstellar wars are ever-changing, and the gap in strength is so small that it’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.

but……

"Human civilization is not an ordinary civilization."

Han Yang secretly thought in his heart: "During the Pollux exercise, my two most powerful abilities, first, quantity, and second, the exquisite machine-like cooperation between warships, were not used. I only relied on human command. and tactical ability won first place.

In a real battlefield environment, I, who could only finish fourth at the beginning, am at least 60% sure of defeating your Yuanshan Civilization.

Now humans can win first place by relying solely on their own abilities. In an interstellar war, with my ability, even if three Yuanshan civilizations join forces, they will all be defeated by me. "

Han Yang knew in his heart that at this moment, human civilization's interstellar warfare capabilities had risen to the well-deserved first place in the Yuanshan Star Territory. Moreover, it is the number one that can ignore any challenge.

After hundreds of years of continuous iteration, warships involve every aspect of the warship, including propulsion, energy, protection, detection, offense, stability, rapid repair, fleet coordination, etc., etc., almost every aspect has been achieved. The ultimate level of civilization.

The same is true for civilian technology. Large-scale rapid interstellar transportation capabilities, large-scale mineral collection capabilities, biological resource production capabilities, genetic science and technology, medical technology, communications, data processing, as well as top priority scientific research, as well as large-scale and systematic industry Ability, educational ability, and civilizational unity have also reached their peak.

Even if we just compare the warship's paper performance, it is no worse than Yuanshan Civilization.

In the past, the weak could only rely on numbers to defeat the strong, which was no longer necessary for Han Yang.

If there is another interstellar war in the Yuanshan Star Territory, it will only be a situation where the super strong will defeat the weak.

Under such circumstances, the Beihe military exercises are still held every 50 years.

Human civilization and Yuanshan civilization went all out to compete for first and second place, while Motan civilization and Fix civilization went all out to compete for third and fourth place. A total of four civilizations were divided into two groups, which were clearly distinct and did not interfere with each other.

The Motan Civilization and the Phix Civilization have mutual victory and defeat, but the competition between the Human Civilization and the Yuanshan Civilization does not seem to have much suspense. It always ends with the Human Civilization winning, but the score difference is not big.

Everyone is a second-level civilization, and it is impossible to widen the point difference. In this way, none of the four major civilizations in the Yuanshan Star Region dare to relax. They all tighten their spirits and go all out to develop. They are suffering unspeakably from being dragged down by human civilization.

Over the past few hundred years, I don’t know how many people have secretly scolded human civilization. However, in formal diplomatic occasions, one still has to be respectful to the envoys of human civilization.

Time passes slowly. More than five hundred years have passed since the first Beihe military exercise. One day, an emergency hotline phone call came to the duty room of the human government.

"Did Head of State Yeonsan call me?"

Han Yang was a little surprised, but still manipulated Han Liang to answer.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Head of Humanity. I am taking the liberty to call you this time because there is an emergency situation that needs to be reported to you.

I just received a notification from the 355th patrol fleet of the Silver Alliance. They discovered a large number of predators near the Yuanshan Star Territory and are approaching the Yuanshan Star Territory at an extremely high speed.

Moreover, the predator group has split into four groups, targeting our Yuanshan galaxy, your solar system, the Motan galaxy, and the Fixx galaxy respectively.

According to time estimates, in about 146 years, the Motan galaxy will be the first to usher in a predator attack. Next is our Yuanshan galaxy, and then the Fix galaxy. Your solar system is the last.

I will send you information about the Predator Group later. "

You can imagine how important it is to have the head of Yuanshan Civilization call him personally to tell him the news.

Predator group? Attack the four major galaxies separately?

Han Yang's heart became serious.

Information about the Yuanshan Civilization was quickly sent over, and Han Yang browsed through it instantly, becoming more and more solemn in his heart.

"The universe is vast and full of wonders, but it can even give birth to such a life..."

According to broad classification, predators can also be classified as strange life forms. But they are different from the electromagnetic life forms that humans have personally dealt with.

Predators are physical. Moreover, predators, humans, Yuanshan, etc., a gregarious intelligent civilization based on cell structure, characterized by gregarious living, and using wisdom as its development path, can barely be regarded as having the same origin.

Predators also evolved from primitive, simple single-cell structures. But they have embarked on a different evolutionary path from social intelligent civilizations.

They have not evolved intelligence, but have evolved increasingly powerful bodies.

Every predator was a creature that once stood at the top of the food chain.

When the power of predators exceeds a certain threshold, the predators lose any threat in the biosphere to which they belong, and no life can threaten their existence anymore.

Out of balance, the biosphere will eventually perish under the almost unlimited food demands of predators.

After destroying their biosphere, most predators will become extinct. However, according to Yinmeng data, there are also a small number of predators that have mutated due to interstellar radiation, planetary environment, or accidental factors, and have the ability to venture into space.

Their physical bodies are stronger and can withstand the harsh interstellar environment. They have evolved a hibernation-like mechanism that can sustain their lives for tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

They have evolved huge but extremely thin and light wings, which can use the light pressure of stars to fly between stars. The huge wings can also serve as a collection net to collect thin interstellar matter.

If there is another planetary biosphere based on cell structure in the galaxy, the predators will obtain another source of food supply, have further opportunities for development, and even evolve to the point of interstellar navigation.

In this way, a terrifying life that truly stands at the top of the food chain is born. Any remaining life cannot be the opponent of the predator, and will all become the prey of the predator.

Unless... this kind of life possesses intelligence and powerful interstellar force.

Predators have a characteristic that allows them to be separated by hundreds or even thousands of light years. By distinguishing the spectrum of the planet and analyzing whether there are hydrogen sulfide and other gases in the atmosphere that can only be produced by life activities, they can distinguish The breath of life in distant galaxies.

Once a target is determined, the Predator group will form a group and spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years setting off to the system.

After arriving, it will devour all life in the galaxy, whether it is huge dinosaurs or plankton in the sea, and use it as a source of nutrition for reproductive activities.

After devouring the life of an entire planet or an entire galaxy, the Predator Group will once again look for the next galaxy with the breath of life and start interstellar navigation again, never ending.

Wherever it goes, it is like locusts passing through, nothing can grow, and the biosphere is completely extinct. (End of chapter)
