Chapter 766: Alien Shock
The aliens, who have been keeping an eye on Blue Mercury with observation equipment, have almost collapsed in the past few years.
A C-class starship was built, and they exclaimed, how could they possibly build such a large spaceship?
There are nine more huge docks in space, and the construction of five hundred C-class starships has been started, and they are not calm, why are they building starships so fast?
Later, more and more starships sprung up like sausages, constantly heading to the border for interstellar shooting training...... The sparks that bloomed in the sky were like smiling faces that mocked them.
The aliens become angry.
Over the course of several years, hundreds of warning broadcasts were sent.
"Don't make senseless struggles and stop the construction of military facilities!"
"This galaxy is ours, including you, and your actions are rebellion! Will be punished severely! β
"This kind of behavior of yours will cause us to make wrong judgments, and the consequences will lead to the demise of your intelligent civilization!"
These warnings did not work, and the construction speed of the other side became faster and faster, and the number of C-class warships coming out of the dock reached one per day, then three in two days, and five in three days......
The alien's tone softened a little.
"The civilization on the other side, Wuga is a peace-loving civilization, we will not destroy you, as long as you submit."
"Stop it! Such crazy construction is just a useless act of destroying the environment and wasting resources, you can give us those resources, and we will give you a little benefit. β
"Have you not heard us? Or are you pretending to be deaf and dumb? Your neglect of my peace signal is an accelerant for the outbreak of war, and you will regret your silence! β
But it still has no effect, and the construction speed on the opposite side is getting faster and faster.
β¦β¦
Alien fleet.
Within the flagship.
The Commander's hand was clenched on the tip of the metal ball of the scepter, the joints raised.
The onyx-yellow fusiform pupils were also contracting violently, staring at the screen in front of them, trembling slightly.
"It's another low-level civilization that doesn't know what to do!"
"I will be like the last civilization. Destroy them one by one! β
Even though the bad words continued, it still couldn't hide the panic in the commander's heart.
They have never seen a civilization that is developing so fast.
In less than six years since the first message was sent, that civilization has built more than five thousand large starships...... Half the number.
And now, they are still about 1 light year away, and it will take ten years to complete, and when they come into contact with that civilization, the number of large starships on the other side will ...... I'm afraid it's beyond imagination.
"At this rate of development, by the time we reach the edge of that star system, there will be more than 20,000 large warships waiting for us. Even if their combat effectiveness is not comparable to ours, they will still cause us certain losses. β
"Based on their war potential, even if we can form a 10:1 exchange ratio for them, we can't afford to lose it, and their starship production speed is terrifying."
"It's probably going to be a bit of a way out of what we thought...... It will even affect our plans for conquest, facing heavy casualties. β
"The most terrible result is that we can't conquer the civilization on the other side, and we have to choose to leave in the end."
A staff officer analyzed.
"That civilization is so weird!"
"When we first came over, the probe was looking at a planet full of seawater. There are intelligent civilizations on them, but they are still very primitive. β
"The red planet is still barren, and there is no life left."
"But when we were about to get here, cities and green life appeared on the red planet. In just a dozen years, a planet without any life has become a planet suitable for survival. β
"And the blue planet, which used to be a sea of water. You can hardly see the land, but now there are many cities and plants on that land, and technology is extremely advanced. β
"And the third planet in that system. In just a few years, it disappeared! β
"Subsequently, they produced many spaceships at a rapid pace, and even a super-large spaceship with a symbol of a third-level civilization, which is beyond the scope of scientific understanding."
"There has never been a civilization that has evolved from a primitive civilization in such a short period of time to a process that quickly transforms the planet and builds a third-class warship...... Unprecedented! β
"We must adjust our previous strategy and re-analyze that civilization!"
"If they really reach the third level of civilization, we may be very dangerous."
Another staff officer analyzed.
Third-level civilization vs. third-level civilization, there is generally no too obvious technological generation difference, once the war starts, there are means to harm the other party, and finally it becomes a war of attrition.
But in a war of attrition, a fleet that comes from an expedition, and a civilization base with a star, dozens of planets, and countless mineral resources, the outcome of the war may not be predictable.
"So what are we going to do?" The commander asked, glaring.
A senior adjutant said: "Our fleet, a total of 11,038 third-class warships, and a fourth-class warship purchased from the Zhenlan civilization, has a crew of 189.04 million, about one-thousandth of the total population of the Wuka country, and they are all elite ...... of the Wuka civilization."
"With our force, we are enough to conquer any civilization below the level of a third-level civilization at a very slight cost."
"Just like the Gumo civilization that was conquered last time, although they developed to the second level and resisted desperately, they still had no effect, we only lost two or three warships, and tens of thousands of people died."
"But if we fight that civilization, our losses may increase many times, and the most conservative estimate is at least more than a tenth of the casualties."
"If we were more pessimistic, we would have suffered half of the casualties, and we would have tens of millions of casualties."
For interstellar warfare that occurs in the harsh space environment, once the spaceship is destroyed by high-energy weapons, there is no problem of judging whether the spaceship is injured or killed, and once the spacecraft is destroyed, almost 100% of the creatures on board are dead, and the probability of survival is extremely low.
Tens of millions of casualties, for aliens. It's a problem that has to be taken seriously.
The Wuka people are also flesh and blood that evolved from the sea to the land, from invertebrates to spine, with a long lifespan, advocating art, and advanced technology...... But that doesn't mean they're not afraid of death.
In fact, any life has a fear of death, even the cold machine qì life, living is the meaning of survival, who wants to die?
It's just that Cheng DΓΉ is afraid of death, and some civilizations are lighter. Some civilizations are heavier.
The people of Wuka are fond of expanding their territory and have been at war with many civilizations, giving people the impression of being "belligerent" and "not afraid of death...... In fact, this is a misunderstanding, the witch people value life very seriously, not because they are not afraid of death, but because their opponents cannot cause them large casualties.
Now, in the face of the huge casualties that may occur, the fleet commanders and staff officers of the Wuka Star People. The collective fell into irritability.
Not to mention half of the casualties, even one-tenth of the casualties, you have to think calmly: in the end, this journey of conquest will lose more than gain. Or do you make more money than you lose?
There are too many risks, and some of the more conservative witches have to engage diplomatically with that civilization and avoid war.
Or turn around and leave the place.
"Diplomatic contacts?"
"How?"
"That civilization completely ignores our good intentions. Desperately expanding the armament war, I am afraid that as soon as our fleet arrives, they will open fire. The first time to enter a state of war. β
"As for leaving, we have been on an interstellar voyage for more than eighty years, and the fuel and supplies on the spaceship are almost all used, and when we slow down to reach the outer edge of that star system, the remaining supplies may not be able to support us to return, we must find a suitable supply point - the star system in front of us!"
The commander looked at everyone and said with a stern expression: "There is no turning back, only war awaits us!" β
"We must draw up a detailed war plan, and when that civilization is fully ready, give them a fatal blow, destroy their will to fight, destroy their war potential, and fight until they surrender!"
"It's inevitable that we'll have some casualties, but if we succeed, that galaxy will be ours! That's a huge wealth that makes countless people blush, and as long as it is knocked down, those riches belong to us! β
"Get ready to fight, the victory must belong to the Wuka Star people!"
The staff officers and scientists all shouted, "Glory is with the witchers!" β
Despite the dilemma, the aliens quickly agreed and prepared for all-out war.
β¦β¦
The other side.
In the darkness of space, a small spaceship, like a meteorite, flew towards the brighter and brighter star.
Inside the spaceship, there was a loud noise, and a "person" walked out of the freezer, revealing a peculiar face: a high forehead, a face with a pointed chin, pale yellow skin, dark eyes, and chestnut hair...... It's not the same as a normal aesthetic "person".
I saw that after this person walked out of the freezer, he adapted to the warm environment of the outside world, changed his clothes, checked the status of the spaceship's equipment, turned on the lights, and the narrow environment suddenly brightened.
After this qiΔ is completed.
He walked up to a sealed freezer chamber and, with a few mechanical buttons, opened it.
"Boom~"
After the freezer was opened, the man pulled out a delicate-looking "person" inside.
"Rusu, wake up."
"Ahem, Luajie, ahem...... I'm alive? Are we still alive? β
Luajie nodded.
Rusu walked out, changed into clothes, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" β
"Seventy years, we, here."
Rusu's eyes flashed, and he walked to the cockpit, looking beyond the porthole and seeing the soft orange glow...... (To be continued......)
