Chapter 260: Participate in the battle
The first to speak was Colonel Guo Weiqiang of the military: "Everyone, according to the information captured by our detector, I think there are no too advanced silicon-based enemies in this black hole battlefield 0.43 light-years away."
"Our satellites seem to be destroyed by a high-equivalent explosive weapon, not that kind of incomprehensible weapon."
“Planetary fortresses look exaggerated, but as long as there is enough industrial capacity, they can still be built.”
"The difficulty of building a planetary fortress is much less than that of a planetary computer. Even a level 3 civilization can still hollow out a planet as long as there is enough time and enough population. There is no doubt about this."
"After analyzing and comparing the forms and distribution of wreckage on the battlefield, we believe that the average technological level of the black hole battlefield will not exceed the level of the fourth-level civilization."
"The gravitational force in the wave valley area near the black hole is chaotic, and the movement speed of the curvature engine is difficult. The movement speed of these planetary fortresses is generally not fast, probably only about 100 kilometers per second to 200 kilometers per second."
"So I speculate that the level 5 civilization may have been locked by some technical means... If more advanced civilizations lock on each other and will not participate in the war, then we little shrimps will become the decisive factor."
"After all, we humans are relatively strong shrimps."
The conference room was quiet and everyone was thinking about the possibilities.
"But how can the fourth-level civilization get the planetary fortress movement?" asked another military expert. "We have observed traces of gravitational wave motion in several batches of planetary fortresses. Only the fifth-level civilization can have a curvature engine, right?"
This time, Professor Huo Dong from the Observatory sent an image: "A level 4 civilization can also be achieved. As long as there are enough small universes, through spatial topology linkage, the planetary fortress can produce curvature motion..."
"Just like our human Oriental Stone, we also move through this phenomenon..."
"Theoretically, this curvature push method will not exceed 0.5 times the speed of light. If it is a level 4 civilization, there is no problem with sub-light speed movement of 0.2-0.3 times. In addition, in the Wave Valley area, due to the excessive gravity and complex calculations, the speed will be reduced to about 100 kilometers per second."
“How many small universes are needed?”
"I don't know, it depends on the technical level... I think it will take tens of thousands of years for a civilization to develop to level 4 civilization, and there will be no small universe in my hand."
The pressure suddenly increased, if every civilization on the battlefield had accumulated so strongly.
Not only humans, but even if the Green Stars and Blue Gold Age Alliance are just brides, they only have four maintenance shields that look like a trump card.
After hearing their questions and answers, Zhang Ran asked privately: "Qiuyue, how much can our curvature speed reach?"
After so many years of development, human beings have not been making a living, and almost all-round development in all walks of life!
Not only the technology sent by artificial intelligence, but also the data in the minds of psychics, has been extracted to a certain extent.
In this case, Level 4 civilization is no longer a dream. As long as there is enough time to develop and enough resources, it is almost a foregone conclusion.
"The curvature engine of the Oriental Panstone is 5,000 kilometers per second, and it will take 25.8 years to reach the battlefield. Unless we obtain more small universes, we can increase our speed. We have not yet completed the 'human philosophical normative system', and even if it has passed, it will not make much sense."
“How many years will it take?”
"It will take 3-5 years, and then all the frameworks will be completed..."
"But the total amount of our resources is far from enough to become a Level 4 civilization... Why, do you want to go to war?" Lin Qiuyue's voice rang in her headphones, still crisp and pleasant. Even if she turned into a computer, she still had to undertake a certain degree of secretary work.
Zhang Ran sighed: "It's not that we want to fight, but that we must figure it out... I'm a little worried. If I missed this opportunity, there will be no next time!"
"This is the biggest problem we face, an opportunity to cooperate with advanced civilizations in the carbon universe."
"If it is just a battlefield for level 4 civilization, if we join it, we will not be able to fight."
Not only Zhang Ran has troubles in this regard, but the discussions in the conference room have also reached a verge of heat. Everyone expressed their opinions. Most government executives believe that they should continue to stay here and develop for a longer period of time.
The risk is too great.
The struggle between giants, the shrimps don’t have much effort...
But some people think that this may be just a struggle between the shrimps, and the real behemoth has already clamped down on each other...
Maybe it is the power of Xiaoxiami, which determines the direction of this war?
Or maybe human civilization is already a powerful shrimp!
If humans do not participate in the war, this battlefield may fall, and the Blue Gold Age Alliance may also die in struggle.
It is not absolutely safe to stay here... Maybe one day you will encounter an enemy? Where is the so-called absolute safety?!
In this case, both sides cannot convince each other.
Zhang Ran took a deep breath, and sweat as big as soybeans precipitated from his head. He felt extreme anxiety. Human beings have been facing a dilemma once again...
He suddenly said, "Everyone, listen to me!"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Ran was silent for a moment and said seriously: "In the process of development, I always feel that there are some shortcomings. Our civilization has been thriving in the past few decades. The new generation of children are also very ideal and full of youthful vitality. We give them the best opportunities. Many of their people have also participated in the work and performed very well."
"I have been thinking for a long time, but I always feel that there is some shortcomings. I don't know where this shortcomings lie."
"Now I finally understand that we are missing a goal."
"A grand, specific goal is missing."
It is true that as Zhang Ran said, the three-level civilizations in the past were building accelerators of the solar system. This is the specific goal, but humans did not.
"Why are we weak? Why do the Blue Gold Age Alliance dare to fight, but we dare not. We lack a specific goal. It is certainly a good thing to focus on development, and having personal ideals is also a good thing, but we lack a bigger goal."
Zhang Ran pointed to his temple: "We need to prove the superiority of self-awareness. How to prove it? We must make a better global optimal solution than before, rather than die humiliatedly in prisoner game."
"As you discussed, if there is no civilization willing to participate in the war and no civilization willing to fight, then we will definitely lose, and we will not even have the chance to regret!"
"I know the choice to join the war is a bit stupid, stupid, and extremely dangerous. But as long as we survive, we can sublimate ourselves in the battle."
"This is a war of absolute justice. We will be more responsible, more proactive and creative than any other time, and feel more that we are the center of our actions and perceptions. We feel more sincerely that we are the first promoter, and we decide everything about ourselves, and we are no longer the weak who are triggered, determined, dominated, powerless, and indignant. We are only able to wait for the rabbit."
“If we don’t join the war, we will miss this opportunity.”
"It's always just a mediocre, petty, ordinary civilization."
Zhang Ran's words really shocked everyone in the conference room.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the case. The rapid development of human technology is indeed a little bit short of it.
It's a little bit far from a truly great civilization.
At the end of the day, Zhang Ran slapped the table hard: "Even if we use the fastest speed to rush to the battlefield, it will take more than 20 years."
"In the next twenty years, we will convert most of the resources at hand into military combat power."
"Just decide this way, everyone, nothing can fall from the sky. If we want to get some, we must take risks."
The meeting ended with dull and lively discussions.
After making up his mind, many people actually feel like a big stone has fallen into the ground... Perhaps, it is not necessarily a bad thing to take destiny into their own hands.
Of course, participating in the war is a major event that concerns all mankind, and requires strict planning and more than 20 years of preparation.
"How long can the resources on hand last and how many military developments can we develop?" Zhang Ran asked Guo Weiqiang.
"We are currently building Kunlun Mountain No. 2. This large shelter is expected to be able to live in 400 million people and consume 5 trillion tons of resources. The total amount of resources required for supporting factory equipment is 4.3 trillion tons. These cannot be saved."
"We also need to leave behind resources when the population expands to 1 billion in the future. By then, the number of fully automatic universal factories exceeds 50... The 10 trillion tons of resources is a relatively reasonable number."
Zhang Ran nodded, "Well, these cannot be saved."
Most of this resource is earned from transactions in the Blue Gold Age Alliance.
As long as there is enough nuclear fusion energy, resources can be recycled repeatedly, and an average of 20,000 tons of material per person is enough to live a pretty good life. These materials cannot be taken out for battle, otherwise it will affect life and work.
