Chapter 700 Revenge and Response
Human civilization.
On the Orion Arm, near the Perseus Arm.
Super particle cannons were set up in planetary systems, using stars as energy cores and countless multiple nuclear fusion energy reactors.
Neutron shells made of 12-neutron material are loaded into the firing clip of the super particle cannon.
Terrifying energy was injected into the super magnetic field accelerator, and a neutron shell was accelerated to nearly the speed of light in an instant.
Then the neutron shell was ejected and shot towards the Perseus cantilever thousands of light years away.
A single neutron bomb contains as much energy as the stars in every planetary system release in a day.
Even if a star is hit by a neutron bomb, a big hole will be blown out in an instant.
What's more, this planetary-level super particle cannon did not just fire one shell, but continued to spray the entire Perseus Arm for more than a hundred years.
The frequency is an average of one neutron shell per day, and human civilization itself has not carefully calculated how many neutron shells it has fired.
And during more than a hundred years.
The fight between humans, silicon people and intelligent machines in the Aquarius arm has also entered a white-hot stage. The three parties have become so angry that they have started to attack each other's stars.
This has resulted in the entire Aquarius Arm experiencing violent stellar explosions every now and then over the past hundred years, with some branches even being blown directly into a primordial nebula.
However, in this situation, the three parties did not stop, but became stronger and stronger.
Because the exploded planet will release more matter, this will cause the scale of available resources for the three parties to suddenly increase by thousands of times.
However, the degree of sudden increase in strength among the three parties is somewhat different.
Among them, the comprehensive strength of humans in the Aquarius Arm soared 179,000 times compared to before the war; the silicon people only soared about 2,451 times; and the intelligent machines were the worst, only increasing by about 31 times.
The reason why this happens.
Naturally, one gains while the other loses.
Human civilization is ahead of the other two civilizations in particle cannons, energy, materials, nanorobots, and navigation technology.
Planetary systems controlled by human civilization will basically never be taken back by other civilizations.
Therefore, through constant encroachment, the sphere of influence of the intelligent machines and the silicon race has been continuously reduced, especially the intelligent machines, which have been suppressed by the silicon race and humans, and can only rely on the blown up stars and planets to barely recover some of their strength.
Humanity is growing stronger in the Aquarius arm.
This forced the Silicon Civilization to give up attacking the remaining intelligent robots and devote most of their strength to the war with humans.
However, these silicon people on the Aquarius arm did not know at this time that human civilization had already chopped down the butcher knife on the base camp of the silicon civilization.
On the human civilization side, various tasks are still being arranged step by step.
Including how to deal with the retaliation of the silicon civilization.
Although it would take thousands of years to strike the Perseus Arm, this did not prevent human civilization from preparing for it.
Once the Silicon Clan's base is swept by the particle cannon, the other side will definitely retaliate against the Orion Arm.
Human civilization has never fought a war without confidence.
Now that you have decided to retaliate against the other party, you must be prepared to deal with retaliation from the Silicon Clan.
At present, various groups of human civilization have gathered all strategic analysts and various weapons researchers to deal with the counterattack of the Silicon Clan.
At a virtual meeting of the Office of Strategic Analysis.
A strategic analyst from the parent company of the Solar System looked at everyone with a sharp gaze: "We can't just passively defend, we have to take the initiative to attack."
"Take the initiative? That's easier said than done."
"The fastest space battleships today are only about 24% of the speed of light. At this speed, it would take tens of thousands of Earth years to pass through the Perseus Arm. There are too many variables during this time ..."
The strategic analyst of the solar system showed his confidence and said, "No, we have another way."
"What is the solution?"
The others looked at each other.
Suddenly, a strategic analyst from the Sirius Group changed his expression slightly: "Are you planning to use a neutron cage?"
The man nodded. "Yes. If we use a cage made of neutron material, we can withstand the risks of near-light speed navigation and drive the spark of civilization into the Perseus Arm. In this way, we can flourish in the heart of the enemy's hinterland."
"Have you ever thought that once this thing is captured by the enemy, our technology will be obtained by the enemy..."
The strategic analyst of the solar system said sarcastically: "What a joke! Do you really think our synchronous communication is just for show? As long as there is danger, we can destroy the spark of civilization at any time."
The strategic analysts present had a heated debate on whether to implement the plan.
But if this plan succeeds, the results will be very good.
After all, pushing the war into the Silicon Clan's base camp can, on the one hand, reduce the Silicon Clan's counterattack against the Orion Cantilever;
On the other hand, it can also continuously weaken the Silicon Clan, preventing them from quickly recovering their strength after being hit by the particle cannon.
Therefore, the plan was approved by the federal headquarters.
But this is just a plan to strike at the enemy.
The defense of the Orion Arm itself needs to be improved as soon as possible.
After all, another neighbor next to the Orion Arm is the Cyclops civilization in the Centauri Arm, which is also a relatively powerful first-level civilization.
If the One-Eyed Civilization goes crazy and joins the war between humans and the Silicon Clan, then humans will be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the defense system of the Orion Arm as soon as possible.
As for how to build a defense system.
There are several constructive proposals currently being discussed by the Strategic Analysis Office.
For example: "Black Hole Shelter Project", "Dark Star Project", and "Neutron Shield Project".
Among them, the black hole shelter plan is to use natural black holes as shelters, combined with various supporting long-distance early warning systems, to effectively avoid enemy particle cannon attacks.
The advantage of this plan is that the defense of a natural black hole is basically impossible to break through by a first-level civilization, so the safety is definitely very good.
The disadvantages are also very obvious. There are relatively few natural black holes, and they themselves are somewhat dangerous.
The Dark Star Project is to abandon some planetary systems, especially those with bright stars, and transfer the population to artificial Earths that can move quickly.
The neutron shield project is more difficult because it requires a large amount of neutron materials, which then need to be accumulated continuously to reach the level of an artificial neutron star.
By using an artificial neutron star as a shield, it can withstand most attacks from a first-level civilization. Even a stellar-level particle cannon cannot threaten the neutron star shield.
However, at this stage, the annual neutron material production capacity of human civilization is approximately 500 to 3,000 tons per group.
Obviously, this production capacity is totally insufficient, let alone building a neutron star shield, it is not even enough to build a neutron battleship.
