Chapter 508: Fear
Of course, these are some words and phrases handed down from the ancient Atlantean civilization, but from here we can also infer the horror of the fifth-level or higher civilization, and it is precisely because of this that the high-level people of the Atlantean civilization are so nervous, and the Atlantean civilization does not want to disappear into the universe like the civilization at that time.
You must know that at that time, the Atlantean civilization belonged to a fourth-level top civilization, although it did not have the ability to travel at warp speed, but it was already able to fly at sub-light speed for a long time, and it already had the initial survivability and long-distance navigation ability in space, so they could fly out of the solar system to other galaxies.
However, the current Atlantean civilization is far inferior to the Atlantean civilization at that time, and it is simply impossible to carry out long-distance and long-term space travel, not to mention the level of people's physical fitness, and other technical levels, even in terms of energy is a huge problem.
You must know that the Atlantean civilization is now only a fourth-level early civilization, and the fuel used by their spacecraft is basically primary nuclear fuel, that is, the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion technology, but even if it is the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion technology, their Atlantis civilization is not fully popularized, let alone develop the next generation of controlled nuclear fusion technology.
As the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology of the Atlantean civilization, its volume is very large, accounting for more than one-tenth of the overall volume of the spaceship, but he can only make the spacecraft reach a speed of one percent of the speed of light, at such a speed, even if it flies to the nearest galaxy to them, it will take five or six hundred years, even if they start to flee now, they will only be able to reach the nearest galaxy to them in 500 years.
But even so, in essence, it has not changed, after all, the war between advanced civilizations can affect thousands of light-years at every turn, and five or six light-years is just close at hand, and it can't change anything at all.
So in fact, there is only one path in front of them now, that is, to ask the Ming Empire for help, or let the Ming Empire help them resist or protect them, after all, with their level of the fourth-level early civilization, they don't have the slightest survivability in such a high-level civilization war, even if it is cannon fodder.
So the high-level leaders of the Atlantean civilization all focused on Wang Xiaodong and them, because they knew that Wang Xiaodong was their last hope, even if Wang Xiaodong was unwilling to offend the advanced civilization of the galaxy for the Atlantean civilization, but they hoped that the Ming Empire would provide them with escape spaceships for the sake of a certain blood relationship between the two sides, as long as they could obtain the spaceship of the Ming Empire, then even if they were ready to flee, the probability of survival in the galaxy would be greatly enhanced.
After all, no matter what, the Ming Empire is also a member of the advanced civilization, so the speed of the high-level civilization spaceship is not comparable to their low-level civilizations at all, you must know that according to their civilization, the Ming Empire already has the ability to sail faster than light, that is, the ability to travel at warp speed, as long as they have this navigation ability, then their survival probability in the universe is very strong, and it is much easier to find a living planet.
Of course, Wang Xiaodong and the others knew what the high-level leaders of the Atlantean civilization meant, but Wang Xiaodong did not answer them directly, after all, he couldn't decide now.
If there were really two fifth-level or above civilizations in that globular star cluster that were engaged in an all-out war, then Wang Xiaodong and the others wouldn't mind providing them with some help within their ability for the sake of bloodline.
After all, Wang Xiaodong and their current fleet not only have military spaceships, but also two civilian versions of commercial transport ships, of course, these two transport ships belong to Zhang Weihua and them, you must know that if Wang Xiaodong and they want to return to the Ming Empire, it is simply a burden to take these two civilian spaceships, not to mention that these two spaceships are the civilian spaceships of the previous generation of the Ming Empire.
The difference in flight speed between military and civilian spacecraft is very large, and civilian-grade spaceships can generally only reach about 20 times the speed of light, while military-level spaceships are basically above 40 times the speed of light.
Secondly, civilian merchant ships are too fragile, which can basically be described as thin skin and meat, but civilian merchant ships also have an advantage that other spaceships cannot match, that is, cargo capacity, which is an advantage that military space warships cannot match.
Therefore, these two civilian space transport ships have become the chicken ribs of the entire fleet, and it is a pity to abandon them if they are tasteless.
You must know that these two spaceships you use have a diameter of 300 kilometers, and they can't fit into these 500 kilometers diameter spaceships at all, so if the Atlantean civilization can pay any price, then it is not impossible to get these two transportation ships.
You must know that Zhang Weihua, as a cosmic trade merchant, as long as the Atlantean civilization can afford the price, then under the current situation, Zhang Weihua will sell to the Atlantean civilization as long as he does not lose money or even loses a little money.
Of course, Zhang Weihua's space battlecruiser will not be sold to them, although this space battlecruiser is a 100-kilometer level space battleship, but this space battlecruiser is the latest type of space battlecruiser of the Ming Empire, otherwise Zhang Weihua would have become cosmic dust in the war between them and the fleet of the Mandala civilization before, where could he have survived until now, so the latest type of space battleship of the Ming Empire like this, the Ming Empire will not sell it at all, Even if the price is high.
What's more, as a pure battleship, even if the Atlantean civilization wants to buy it, with the wealth level of their current civilization, even if they sell their entire civilization, they can't afford to buy such a space battlecruiser.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong finally spoke: "Although we now have some data on the globular cluster in front of us, and have judged some of the globular clusters, these data are actually not very reliable.
After all, anything can happen in the universe, and anomalies such as the globular cluster in front of it may also be natural phenomena, so we can't deny this now.
Just now we have sent our most advanced exploration ship to that galaxy to find out the real situation, so everything will have to wait until we get the real data before we can make a decision.
So all you have to do now is wait, even if you are in a hurry, it is useless, even with our help, it is impossible to upgrade the civilization level from the early civilization of the fourth level to the fifth level or higher in hundreds of years. ”
