Chapter 711 Trust Problem
Galaxy 25869.
Human civilization further expanded its control area in the Perseus Arm.
The retreating silicon civilization could not withstand the all-out attack of humans.
The Muxing survey spacecraft, which is currently on its way, is still nearly 5,000 light-years away from the nearest territory of human civilization.
Even if human civilization expands in the direction of the Pastoral Star survey spacecraft, it is estimated that it will take to meet.
At this time, on the Muxing investigation spacecraft, Famu was also mobilizing the alarm hidden in the Ceres Cantilever, trying his best to collect various intelligence on the warring parties.
After more than a thousand years of investigation and observation, Famu's uneasiness became more and more obvious.
Famu knew the Perseus Silicon Clan very well. After all, the Shepherd Star civilization would conduct a comprehensive survey of the five major arm regions of the Milky Way approximately every 73,000 Earth years.
The technological development of the Perseus Silicon Clan, which had stagnated for millions of years, had maintained a trend of outward expansion, but in the eyes of the Shepherd Star Civilization, the Silicon Clan posed no threat at all.
This is one of the reasons why the Silicon Clan can exist safely in the Perseus Arm for millions of years.
However, the civilization that had just appeared before him surprised Famu.
"Gravity field technology?"
"FTL communication without delay?"
"A spacecraft traveling at 45% of the speed of light?"
"And special particle material technology?"
Although Famu looked down on the civilization in the Cantilever Area, the performance of human civilization forced him to take it seriously.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Famu even stopped moving forward. After all, the space distortion engine technology of the Muxing civilization was like driving a tractor under the sea for a civilization with super gravity technology - it was blatant.
The abnormal gravitational waves produced by the space warp engine can be easily detected.
Although the two sides were about 5,000 light years apart at this time, Famu did not dare to take it lightly.
If the other party discovers it in advance, not only will I be in danger, but the mission assigned to me by the headquarters may also fail.
Of course, it chose to stop at this time not on its own initiative, but to explain the situation to the headquarters.
The Muxing civilization possesses quantum communication technology, which can achieve long-distance communication without delay.
After Famu reported the results of his investigation over the past thousand years, the Muxing Civilization Headquarters immediately agreed to Famu's application for suspension.
At this time, through the spacecraft's quantum communication system, Famu and several other shepherds were discussing the next work.
"Radi, what do you think of the Intelligence Analysis Department?"
In the holographic projection, a shepherd with a silver-gray face emitted an electromagnetic wave:
"From the intelligence you have collected, this civilization's strength is very close to ours, and it also has some unique technologies. If we rely solely on your survey ship, even if you can use particle robots to quickly expand the scale of unmanned warships in a short period of time, the risk is still very high."
Famu also agreed with this.
It was worried that if it could not defeat the other party in a short period of time, and the other party possessed long-distance, delay-free communication technology, it would probably soon be aware of the existence of the Muxing civilization.
Another shepherd was also full of concerns: "The Baisai Arm should not be the base camp of this civilization. Their base camp should be in the Kerit Arm. This area is too vast. Even for our spacecraft, it will take a long time to reach it."
A first-level civilization that does not have faster-than-light travel technology will always have many concerns when attacking other first-level civilizations.
The reason is that the longer the night, the more dreams one has.
There are too many variables in an expedition that can take hundreds or thousands of years.
What worries the Shepherd Star Civilization even more is the other two competitors entrenched in the galactic center of the Milky Way.
Once their star-herding civilization enters the cantilever area on a large scale, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other two civilizations, and they may even take secret actions.
The cantilever area, with its scarce resources and vast area, is a piece of chicken ribs for the pastoral civilization.
It's a pity to throw it away, but there's no meat to eat it.
After all, a large-scale expedition to the cantilever area would require the consumption of a huge amount of dark energy crystals, and the dark energy crystals produced by the light-eating star beasts raised by the pastoral civilization are limited.
At this time, the few had already calculated the price to be paid for the expedition to the Cantilever Area.
If human civilization is to be completely eliminated, at least 300 million first-level space battleships will need to be deployed, which is equivalent to 42% of the space battleships of the Muxing civilization. In addition, at least 80% of the stock of dark energy crystals will need to be consumed.
This price is hard for these shepherds to accept.
After all, after tens of millions of years of open and secret struggles, the three major civilizations in the galactic center have already reached a state of relative balance.
Now that the Muxing civilization has been asked to mobilize such a huge force and resources to expedition to the Cantilever Area, it is estimated that the other two civilizations will immediately join forces and prepare to attack the Muxing civilization.
You know, the Mist Civilization has been coveting the dark energy crystallization technology of the Shepherd Star Civilization for a long time.
In this three-way situation.
The emergence of human civilization has made the three parties in the galactic center region very embarrassed.
In fact, the Mist Clan, who have more advanced reconnaissance and concealment techniques, had already noticed the existence of human civilization as early as when human civilization collided with the Cyclops civilization of the Centauri Arm.
It’s just that the Mist civilization did not tell the other two civilizations.
On the one hand, human beings at that time were not as powerful as they are now.
On the other hand, it is because human civilization and the Mist civilization do not have a direct border, and the two sides are separated by the One-Eyed Civilization and the Shepherd Star Civilization.
Even when human civilization rose, the Mist Clan did not tell the Pastoral Star Civilization about this. After all, the three major civilizations in the Galactic Center were not friends, but mortal enemies who wished each other to explode on the spot.
If human civilization is allowed to develop, the Muxing civilization will definitely suffer.
Moreover, the Mist Clan attaches more importance to the Cantilever Area than the Shepherd Star Civilization. They secretly planned the Cantilever Area long time ago, so they don’t need to worry about human civilization threatening their base camp.
At this time, every move of the Muxing civilization was actually being secretly monitored by the Mist Clan.
As for whether human civilization will cooperate with the Shepherd Star civilization, the Mist Clan is not worried at all.
After all, the strength of human civilization is advancing very rapidly and is already very close to the three major civilizations in the center of the Milky Way.
In this case, there is no possibility of cooperation between the pastoral civilization and human civilization.
It is difficult for civilizations to trust each other.
Even the Mist Clan civilization was very wary of the speed of technological development of human civilization at this time, but they were unwilling to take action to destroy human civilization.
If a full-scale war breaks out between these top-level civilizations, it will affect the entire star system.
If the Mist Tribe fights humans head-on, they will easily be picked off by the other two civilizations.
The three parties joining forces involves issues of trust and distance.
As long as human civilization specifically targets the expeditionary force of one of the civilizations, their alliance will collapse.
