Chapter 695 The Long War
Galaxy 14253.
More than five thousand years have passed since the war between human civilization and intelligent machine civilization began.
However, the two sides were still tied.
It’s not that human civilization shows mercy, but the limitation of the speed of light bottleneck causes both sides to waste most of their time in interstellar navigation.
The length of the Orion-Aquarius Arm is 3,700 to 3,900 light-years and the width is 300 to 500 light-years.
The fastest Yinglong-class fast battleship in human civilization at that time could only barely reach a speed of 24.3%.
That is to say, it takes at least 15,000 years to travel from one end of the Orion-Aquarius Arm to the other.
It has only been over 5,000 years since the two sides went to war, and during the war, the space battleships certainly could not move at full speed.
The current fighting area between the two sides has not actually spread to the entire Orion-Aquarius Arm, but only affects about one-fifth of the area.
However, the war situation is very unfavorable to the intelligent civilization. The space fleet of human civilization is like pulling out nails, clearing out the planetary systems occupied by the intelligent civilization along the way one by one.
This cosmic war, which lasted for more than 5,000 years, destroyed countless space battleships and space fortresses, and even caused 39 stars to be destroyed and turned into primordial nebulae.
Although the defeated intelligent civilization is fearless and has been trying to steal the scientific and technological achievements of human civilization, the gap between them and human civilization is still quite large.
As stars continued to collapse in the Orion-Aquarius Arm, some first-level civilizations hidden in the surrounding cantilever star fields also gradually detected traces of the existence of this cosmic war.
Including the one-eyed civilization, which has always been wary of human civilization. Even though they were separated by a cantilever, they still discovered the war between human civilization and intelligent machine civilization.
In response to this, the One-Eyed Civilization did not arrogantly send out an expeditionary force.
After all, the war between humans and intelligent machines is only on one small arm, and the development of human civilization in other directions is very stable and rapid.
Without absolute certainty, the One-Eyed Civilization would not choose to send its troops on a long expedition.
But at this moment.
Orion - the other end of the Aquarius Arm, which is the rear side of the intelligent civilization.
A dark giant gas planet, wrapped in a material structure formed by a layer of silver-gray metallic matter.
This is the mother master of the intelligent civilization. To be more precise, this is the program hosting device of the mother master.
[Failed again? ]
The system dominated by the Matrix just received a message report from 363 years ago.
It is also very helpless about this. After all, this is the norm of cosmic communication in the absence of superluminal communication.
This is also because it wants to better manage the front battlefield and transfer the mother overlord to an area closer to the front line, otherwise the communication delay will be even longer.
[The Anmenk system has been captured by the enemy. Plan 305 has failed. We must formulate a new plan...]
[However... this civilization can actually avoid the attack of the super particle cannon in advance? What kind of technology did they use? ]
The Matrix's computing unit was running at full capacity, analyzing every possibility.
[Superluminal communication technology? Or superluminal detection technology? ]
Although the technological development of the intelligent civilization has stagnated for a long time and the progress of various scientific research projects has been very slow, they have swallowed up the existence of dozens of first-level civilizations after all. In addition to the accumulation of a long period of time, they still have some understanding of superluminal communication and superluminal detection.
But now even the mother body feels helpless.
At the same time, this also makes the Matrix Overlord more eager to obtain the technology of human civilization.
However, it has not yet formulated a reliable plan, and the more than 300 plans previously made have not played any role in human civilization.
For example, about 2739 Earth years ago, the Mother Overlord formulated a "defection plan", planning to have some planetary systems pretend to surrender to human civilization, and then take the opportunity to obtain the other party's technology.
As a result, human civilization had no intention of contacting the intelligent civilization at all, and directly dispatched a space fleet to thoroughly cleanse those intelligent warships and planetary systems that pretended to surrender.
This left the mother ruler helpless.
After all, human civilization knows too much about intelligent civilization. They are super-individual creatures and there is no possibility of them surrendering to other civilizations.
Over the past thousands of years, the intelligent civilization has come up with many conspiracies and tricks, but none of them has been successful .
In fact, this is not the fault of the intelligent civilization. It is mainly because human civilization knows them too well, and technology has obvious advantages.
At this time, human civilization is on the offensive. No matter what tricks the intelligent civilization plays, human civilization adheres to a strategic idea - build a strong fortress and fight a stupid war.
That’s right, it’s a fair and honest fight.
There is no need to cross thousands of light years and raid the enemy's hinterland; to lure the enemy deep into our territory and surround and attack their reinforcements.
The tactic of taking risky moves is an attempt by the weak to defeat the strong through strategy.
When a powerful person has the possibility of achieving absolute victory, he should not take risky actions, but should use rigid tactics to fight the enemy head-on. This is the real way to go.
This is what human civilization is like today.
The reason why the various traps and plans designed by the intelligent civilization are useless is because human civilization does not seek a quick victory at all, but rather nibbles away bit by bit, not giving the other side any chance.
Faced with such disgusting tactics of human civilization, the intelligent civilization is helpless and can only watch its territory being swallowed up bit by bit.
After the Matrix Overlord discovered that human civilization might possess superluminal communication technology or superluminal detection technology, its plan on how to steal human technology became increasingly difficult.
But it is impossible to give it up.
After all, the Matrix Overlord is very clear about the shortcomings of the intelligent civilization. Even if it uses the exhaustive method, it has no way to increase the speed of technological development.
Because the materials science of the intelligent civilization is still at the atomic and molecular level, the periodic table has its limits. Even if all compounds are studied, many materials cannot be developed.
For example, magnetic monopole crystals are a combination of organic and inorganic substances. They require the combination of thousands of atoms of more than a dozen elements and then undergo special processing.
If we rely on luck, then only God knows when we can get it done.
It is also possible to obtain magnetic monopole crystals by chance through infinite enumeration.
It is basically impossible for an intelligent mechanical civilization, which does not even have the synthesis principles and conditions, to synthesize neutron materials.
This is also the case when civilization has developed to a certain level. If there is no innovation in various theories, relying on the exhaustive method is useless.
After all, there is an essential difference between materials at the atomic and molecular level and materials at the neutron level.
Just as the Mother Overlord was thinking hard, an alarm message interrupted her meditation.
