Chapter 453 The Universe Is Not a Dark Forest

However, this plasma shield cannot block attacks from physical weapons, such as physical shells from electromagnetic guns.

So even though this type of plasma shield has been developed, it has not been deployed on a large scale so far. The most important reason is that it has been found to be of little use.

Its effect is a bit one-dimensional, and it is impossible to block all attacks, whether physical or non-physical, like in science fiction movies.

However, even though it seemed useless, Liu Xiu still provided some weapons and equipment, such as space carriers, but there were no advanced space fighters.

There is no way. Although the space carrier is not very advanced, its tonnage is there after all. If it is destroyed, the cost of building a space carrier will be equivalent to the price of more than a hundred space fighters.

What's more, the most crucial point is that although the plasma shield cannot withstand attacks from physical ammunition such as electromagnetic artillery shells and missiles, it can withstand attacks from laser weapons.

In space warfare, energy weapons such as lasers that reach the speed of light are actually the most difficult to intercept.

After all, although electromagnetic weapons are fast, they can be avoided by using laser weapons or the same electromagnetic weapons, or even the mobile space carrier itself.

However, because laser weapons are fast enough, there is actually not much time left for them to dodge.

Moreover, laser weapons cannot be intercepted with lasers, so the plasma shield that can intercept electromagnetic wave weapons is naturally the best choice.

As for why it is not equipped to space fighters, it is mainly because its actual combat effect is not very obvious. After all, space fighters are maneuverable and flexible, so the chance of being hit by laser weapons is not very high.

Another reason is that the plasma shield has not yet been miniaturized. You should know that the volume of the plasma shield generator installed on the space carrier is already equivalent to the volume of several space fighters.

Therefore, if a space fighter wants to be equipped with a plasma shield, it must increase its size. By increasing the size and weight, it will naturally lose its maneuverability. Then the flexible and agile sky fighter will become a bulky and slow space tank, and a living target for enemy firepower.

In fact, it is not very necessary to equip space fighters with such good protection.

After all, although space fighters have developed to the fifth generation, the cost of space fighters is actually not very expensive. First of all, their mass and volume are there, so no matter how expensive the cost is, it is actually not that expensive.

Of course, this is different from Liu Xiu's strategy of actively preparing for war and waiting for the alien blue star people to fire the first shot.

There are also peace advocates among the high-level officials of the Wandering Blue Star. They advocate that this universe is not a dark forest, since they are all creatures of the same human race and even have a common ancestor, the Engineer Civilization.

Human beings on all planets should advocate peaceful coexistence and friendly exchanges, rather than launching wars that cause needless casualties and sacrifices.

In fact, Liu Xiu also agreed with this point of view. After all, if Liu Xiu was really that cold-blooded, he would have fired a super-light-speed star-destroying electromagnetic cannon to blow up the entire alien blue planet long ago.

So Liu Xiu finally listened to the advice of the moderates and sent an exchange spacecraft to the alien blue planet to see what their attitude was.

Of course, for safety reasons, Liu Xiu did not send a real person for the first contact. Instead, he created a simulated person and then used a remote-controlled robot to conduct remote control contact.

Of course, the alien blue planet is more than a hundred light years away from Proxima Centauri, so it will take some time for the spacecraft to arrive there.

Preliminary estimates show that it will take a year and a half to reach the alien blue planet.

Of course, this one and a half years passed quickly. Just when Wandering Blue Star had just finished mining all the superconducting ores on the surface of Pandora, the spacecraft sent by Liu Xiu to have friendly exchanges with the Alien Blue Star had also arrived. Of course, in order to ensure that the spacecraft sent by Liu Xiu for friendly visits and exchanges would not be captured by the Alien Blue Star, they naturally used the self-destruct system.

Even simulated remote-controlled robots have self-destruct systems. As long as they are detected to be controlled or damaged, the self-destruct program will be immediately activated.

Of course, the unmanned visiting spacecraft from the Wandering Blue Planet had already exited the superluminal curvature navigation mode before entering the star system of the Alien Blue Planet.

Then the spacecraft itself naturally entered the deceleration mode, although it is not known how powerful the monitoring methods on the alien blue planet are.

However, the dozens of kilometers long plasma tail flame ejected during deceleration can still be seen with the naked eye.

Of course, for ordinary people on the Alien Blue Planet, it might be strange why there is an extra star in the sky.

But it is not the case for the top leaders of the Meng family on the alien blue planet.

That’s right, the Alien Blue Planet does not have only one family like the Wandering Blue Planet, but is made up of hundreds of families.

Moreover, the gap between the Liao family and the Liao family is very large, and the powerful Liao family is already able to carry out interstellar migration.

However, some countries can hardly even afford food and clothing. Of course, this is not because other countries do not want to take over their territory, but mainly because of the checks and balances from other countries.

That’s right, the history of the Alien Blue Planet is actually similar to that of the Wandering Blue Planet. Several powerful nations restrained each other, which led to hundreds of small nations surviving in the cracks.

Of course, in addition to this, there are also humanitarian constraints. We cannot invade these small countries and we still have to be responsible for the lives of their people, so it is better to keep these small countries and dump industrial products.

After all, these small countries still have resources, so dumping resources is naturally the best choice. Moreover, by comparing the hardships of life in these small countries, it can also indirectly highlight the sense of superiority of the people in these big countries.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, the unmanned diplomatic spacecraft sent by Liu Xiu had already started sending clear radio messages when it entered the star system and decelerated, in order to tell the humans on the alien blue planet that they were not here to fight or cause trouble.

They are here for a friendly visit, so please don't open fire casually, and they also expressed their satisfaction with what is happening on the Covenant spacecraft.

It also revealed what the bionic man David did on the planet Paradise, especially how David poisoned Holloway while on the Prometheus spacecraft.

And then he recounted the whole story of how he and Elizabeth Shaw came to Paradise Star and used Elizabeth Shaw's body to conduct alien breeding experiments.

Of course, the information released by the visiting unmanned spacecraft sent by Liu Xiu using clear code electromagnetic wave communications naturally made the shareholders and directors of Weyland Company frown.

But the most annoying person is naturally the bionic man David himself.

It turned out that David's body was disassembled after he was brought into Weyland Company.

However, David still managed to gain the trust of the aging shareholders of Weyland Company with his eloquent speech.

The idea of ​​immortality is too tempting for humans, so with the support of these shareholders, David, the bionic man who changed his body, successfully became the director of the Alien Research Institute.
