Volume 3 Chapter 53: So I am an advanced civilization?
One percent of the speed of light, one tenth of the speed of light, the speed of light, ten times the speed of light.
Because of the space curvature formed by the curvature of the curvature engine, it is not a super-large object like the earth that is being dragged.
Therefore, the speed easily reached the theoretical speed limit of the curvature engine made by humans, which is ten times the speed of light.
Compared to the Earth's current maximum speed of only twice the speed of light, these autonomous machines are much faster.
Therefore, such autonomous mechanical aggregates carrying curvature engines will usually undertake tasks such as pathfinding and early warning for the Earth.
Today is the first time I have taken on the task of arresting someone.
Soon hundreds of makeshift spaceships caught up with the twenty warships that were fleeing at twice the speed of light.
At the same time, the surfaces of these temporary spaceships deformed with another mechanical sound, autonomous mechanical aggregates assembled with each other, and thick cannon barrels stretched out from these hundreds of temporary spaceships and began to charge.
There is no need to consider the crew's operating space, rest space, entertainment space, and living space.
Furthermore, there is no need to consider defense, damage control, and maintenance during battle. If something breaks, it will be directly discarded. It is exactly like the use of drones by humans in the 21st century. It is an autonomous mechanical aggregate that is used as a purely consumable in war.
This is a three-kilometer-long ship composed entirely of autonomous mechanical aggregates.
It was densely covered with weapons, offensive weapons.
The weapons on a 3,000-meter-long autonomous ship are hundreds of times more than those on a 12,000-meter-long mother ship of the Republic of Mali.
Regardless of the technological content of these weapons, Earth's are far more advanced and powerful than those of the Republic of Mali.
Just the numbers alone are overwhelming.
Although the price is the loss of defensive capability, since it is a consumable, it is nothing more than losing one and replenishing one.
Anyway, the production speed in the rear is faster than the consumption speed.
Swarm tactics, that's it.
Of course, just like a drone equipped with an automatic rifle, it is just cannon fodder in modern great power wars.
But when it comes to African tribes, it is a sacred weapon that is difficult for the tribesmen to knock down. The same principle applies.
Autonomous mechanical aggregates, although humans were designed as cannon fodder.
But that was when facing opponents of the same level.
When the opponent became the current Republic of Mali, even a ship like this that had completely abandoned its defense capabilities and was purely piled with weapons was still not something that the Republic of Mali could destroy at will, and they couldn't even destroy it.
For example, the autonomous mechanical aggregates have their own anti-gravity devices and repulsion field devices, which are usually used in construction work, to serve the work.
Now it is very simple to form a layer of repulsion field and anti-gravity field on the surface of the temporary spaceship.
The mere presence of these force fields, which make no difference in a war between opponents of the same level, is not something that the fleet of the Republic of Mali can break.
Of course, the Republic of Mali did not open fire, but tried to see if it could shoot down a temporary spaceship.
After hundreds of temporary spaceships composed of autonomous mechanical aggregates charged their guns as a warning.
Knowing that they could not escape, the ten warships of the Republic of Mali and another ten merchant warships stopped one after another and surrendered to the autonomous mechanical aggregate.
It’s not that there aren’t some who want to fight to the end, especially the ten mother ships of the Republic of Mali, which are all staffed with soldiers.
But precisely because he was a soldier, the commander considered the pros and cons and ordered a surrender.
Because resisting a higher civilization, not to mention the absolute possibility of victory, is likely to bring even greater disasters to the Mali civilization, it would be better to surrender, which might give the civilization a chance to survive.
At this time, the commander was no longer concerned about the survival of the fleet, but the survival of the Republic of Mali.
The thinking of the ten warships in the merchant caravan was even simpler. If they resisted, they would definitely die, but if they surrendered, they might still survive, so they surrendered.
So, the temporary warships composed of hundreds of autonomous mechanical aggregates captured twenty warships without firing a single shot.
Lin Xu, who had thought he could enjoy a spectacular show of space battleships fighting each other, was speechless for a moment.
It seems that the peanuts and melon seeds popcorn that I just asked Miss Qiu to prepare were all prepared in vain?
I just chilled the Coke.
The temporary warships led the way, and the warships of the Republic of Mali and the merchant caravan followed behind, slowly returning to the asteroid belt.
At the same time, the Earth has arrived near the asteroid belt. In order to prevent the Earth's gravity from attracting asteroids in the asteroid belt , the Earth has kept a slight distance away.
Even so , seeing that huge planet moving through the universe as lightly as an elephant walking, people of all races still felt despair.
Is this the foundation of an advanced civilization? It can even use curvature navigation technology to drive a planet.
But at this moment, Lin Xu had no time to pay attention to these captives. His attention was attracted by the items they had just traded.
With the enemy's surrender, the information in the battleship database was naturally opened to the Earth.
By analyzing the database, Taiyin has understood the languages of these races, and also learned from the database what the two parties were trading just now.
"Chaos energy? In other words, they ran away because of this chaos energy. They thought we were an advanced civilization that came for this chaos energy?"
"Yes, their database contains a secret order from the Congress of the Republic of Mali authorizing the commander. The higher civilization will obtain chaos energy at all costs. Once this transaction is discovered by the higher civilization, the on-site commander must do his best to obtain the higher civilization's forgiveness." Taiyin explained.
"Forgiveness? It means that you should kneel down immediately after being caught. No wonder you surrendered so quickly." Lin Xu understood.
I'm afraid even this secret order was deliberately not deleted and left for them to see.
Look, we are all lying down and being laughed at, boss, please give us some way out.
"However, is Earth already considered an advanced civilization? But our current technological level is only the level of a few hundred years after Earthlings first broke out of Earth 10,000 years ago."
Lin Xu was full of doubts about the speed of development of human technology.
In fact, I have been puzzled for a long time, but now I see that these civilizations have been developed for tens of thousands of years and are still like this.
Lin Xu increasingly felt that humans were the chosen ones, or was there something he didn't know about?
"Human Lin Xu, how do you deal with the curvature engine from another civilization and the unknown chaotic energy?"
"Tear down one of the warp engines and see how it differs from ours. As for the chaos energy, try to observe it and record an image or something, and test how it cannot be recorded."
Lin Xu gave the order.
Of course, compared to the curvature engine that his company already has, Lin Xu is more curious about the chaos energy.
According to information from both parties to the transaction, this thing is a good thing that all civilizations in the universe are competing for.
There must be something special.
