Chapter 701: Each Shows His Special Abilities
For the cosmic war across the cantilevers, time is undoubtedly the most difficult.
It is thousands of light years away. Before the development of superluminal travel technology, even near-light-speed weapons are still very powerless.
This powerlessness is long in terms of time scale.
Human civilization is making every effort to attack the Silicon Civilization's base in the constellation of Perseus. However, this attack will not produce obvious feedback until at least 6,000 years later.
At this time, the war between the three tribes on the Aquarius arm entered a white-hot stage, and the war destroyed countless planets.
However, humans are in a clear advantageous position in this area, almost overwhelming the silicon race and the intelligent machines.
at the same time.
Human civilization is also rapidly expanding toward the outer side of the Orion Arm, and is currently advancing 20 light years into the outer star field of the Orion Arm every hundred years.
Don’t underestimate this slow speed.
In fact, for a first-level civilization, expanding outward by 20 light years every hundred years is already very fast.
While rapidly expanding territory.
Various groups in human civilization have also gradually launched security strategies.
After all, with humans, silicon people and intelligent machines fighting fiercely in the Aquarius Arm, it has become a fact that is difficult to conceal that other civilizations have discovered the existence of a powerful first-level civilization in the Orion Arm.
The Strategic Analysis Office at the Federal Headquarters is no fool and must know that it is only a matter of time before the Orion Cantilever is exposed.
Although the second-level civilization is unlikely to participate in the fighting between first-level civilizations, this does not mean that human civilization can sit back and relax.
The experience of the intelligent civilization sounded a wake-up call for mankind. If there is a quasi-secondary civilization in another star system, is there also a quasi-secondary civilization within the Milky Way?
This is also the reason why human civilization stays away from the galactic center region of the Milky Way.
As the region with the richest resources in the Milky Way, if there is civilization there, it must be very powerful.
Why is the civilization in the galactic center region so powerful?
The answer lies in the fact that the star density in the galactic center region is very high, making it difficult for planets inside the galactic center region to exist stably. This environment is very extreme.
The more extreme the environment, the more terrifying the creatures that are born.
Human civilization does not want to gamble that there is no powerful civilization in the galactic center region, because if the gamble is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, at this stage, there are three main strategic directions for human civilization.
First, improve the local security defense system.
Second, make every effort to eliminate the control area of the Aquarius Arm by the intelligent mechanical civilization and the silicon civilization.
The third is to develop as far as possible towards the outer reaches of the Milky Way.
Human civilization is a civilization that lacks a sense of security, or in other words, the vast majority of first-level civilizations lack a sense of security and have severe persecution complexes.
This is actually caused by the environment.
The positioning of the first-level civilization itself is too embarrassing.
Level zero civilization can lie down, and the ignorant are fearless. Most of their senses about the universe are curiosity and self-loneliness.
The first-level civilization has realized the cruelty of the universe and there are a large number of civilizations of the same level around it. If it does not develop with all its strength, it may be destroyed by other civilizations of the same level.
At the same time, the first-level civilization has no way of contacting the second-level civilization, and it always feels that the road ahead is shrouded in fog as to how to develop into the second-level civilization.
It is precisely because of this special environment that each first-level civilization is more or less a bit neurotic.
Why did human civilization seem to go crazy after being invaded by the silicon civilization?
The reason is that in this environment, humans have no other choice.
If you don't strike first, once the enemy strikes first, you will be irresponsible to all new humans.
At this time, human civilization has entered a state of war.
Neutron stars and black holes within human territory are all utilized.
In fact, there are quite a few neutron stars and black holes inside the Milky Way.
Among them, the number of neutron stars is about 3.769 billion, and the number of black holes is about 45.36 million.
Compared with the 392.8 billion stars in the Milky Way, this proportion is indeed not too high, and a large number of neutron stars and black holes are concentrated in the galactic center.
Currently, there are approximately 230,000 neutron stars and 8,553 black holes within the human territory.
At this time, the human territory ranges from 2,667 light years at its widest to 891 light years at its narrowest, with a total of more than 20 million stars.
This is the true strength of human civilization.
Using neutron stars and black holes as natural shelters cannot be done casually, because these two celestial bodies themselves are dangerous.
For example, for a pulsar among neutron stars, one must be careful about the pulse stream it ejects and must keep a certain distance.
Otherwise, once you are hit by the pulse flow of a neutron star at close range, it will be very dangerous even with a magnetic field deflection shield.
Not to mention black holes.
That terrifying gravitational field can not only distort light, but also tear apart stars.
When building neutron star shelters and black hole shelters, human civilization tried every possible way to calculate the safest location range.
All of this requires careful calculation.
After all, the enemies of human civilization are not just the silicon civilization, but also the one-eyed civilization lurking in the Centaurus cantilever, and the mysterious galactic center region.
The deployment of various early warning systems also comprehensively covers the entire human territory to ensure that no attacks can take advantage of loopholes.
In fact, as long as the enemy's strength does not exceed the limit of the first-level civilization, human civilization will basically not be defeated.
This is not because human civilization is arrogant, but because the synchronous communication technology brought by magnetic monopole crystals has given human civilization super-strong reconnaissance and monitoring capabilities.
The speed of light is the upper limit of the core attack method of a first-level civilization.
With delays of hundreds or thousands of light years, the party with superluminal communication technology does have the advantage.
Human civilization is now building shelters around neutron stars and black holes in order to enhance its own defense capabilities.
Further enhance the comprehensive strength of mankind.
Of course, the Office of Strategic Analysis did not put all its resources on the bunker plan.
Because the positions of natural neutron stars and black holes are fixed, human civilization certainly has no way to move them at this stage.
This brings another risk, which is that once the cover is discovered, it can be easily targeted by the enemy.
You definitely can't put all your eggs in one basket.
The Dark Star Project, as a supplement, has also become another option for various groups.
After all, neutron stars and black holes require hundreds of groups to share one, which is too crowded.
Therefore, many groups have invested resources in artificial earth.
Of course, in addition to the Dark Star Project, there is another project that is also very popular, that is the "Lights Out Project ".
This plan is actually a variation of the Dyson sphere, which selects some small-mass red dwarfs or white dwarfs as targets for transformation, and then wraps up these small stars.
In short, in order to hide itself, human civilization is almost like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea - each showing off its magical powers.
Just when human civilization was working hard, good news came from the Science Division.
