Quinnir System, Space Defense Circle. (Full text e-book free download)

After the Imperial fleet entered the Quinnir system and took over the space defense of the entire Quinnir system, a series of space defense construction began to be in full swing. During this period, Robin not only modeled on Othello Planet to establish a ring of orbit in the outer space of Hayden Planet, but also built a large number of combined space fortresses in many key shipping lanes of the entire Quinnier Galaxy, so that space defense and planetary ground defense can be truly combined together to form a three-dimensional all-round defense system.

In addition, because Robin captured a sample of the dragon chrysalis ** on the planet Hayden, the entire Imperial Academy of Sciences was moved. Under the arrangement of Hoffmann the Great and Luo Qingshan, president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, a large number of top scientific researchers were assigned to the Quinnier system to carry out this extremely important scientific research mission on the spot.

Due to the rare property of the dragon chrysalis eggs to absorb external energy, and the energy absorbed during the cocoon breaking process is too large to calculate, therefore, it will inevitably cause unpredictable serious consequences during the experiment, Xia Zuo and Anse Air unanimously vetoed Robin's request to conduct this experiment in the flagship experimental cabin. However, the characteristics of the dragon chrysalis eggs themselves are not suitable for such experiments on planets, so after much consideration, it was decided to build a special experimental field in space with insulators as the main material to meet the continuous research on dragon chrysalis eggs.

Once this decision was adopted, the expeditionary fleet began to gradually shift its main focus from the planetary ground to space.

At present, the planet Hayden, which is the main body of the Quinnier system, has basically stabilized the situation and formulated a long-term development strategy, so it will no longer be at the core of the current tactical plan. The other two rocky planets are resource stars that are not suitable for human habitation, so the planning does not need to take into account long-term planning like the Hayden planet. Therefore, when the hidden danger on the planet Hayden was completely lifted, the strategic direction of the fleet should have shifted from land to space, after all, space is the birthplace of the Insats, and only by completely clearing space can the safety of the planet be guaranteed.

To this end, Robin paid tribute to Huggins, who had personally participated in several expeditions to the extragalactic galaxy. Count Greg asked about the relevant questions, and learned that at present, on the battlefield of space, the combat power advantage of the human fleet is still very obvious.

Although on the surface, the Insats have a large strategic biological warship that is almost comparable to a Titan aircraft carrier, a large strategic biological warship that is almost comparable to a Titan aircraft carrier, and also has a 'Stinger' biological missile with similar performance to a missile, and even a biological warplane that is very close to the characteristics of a space shuttle. However, due to the fact that their social structure resembles that of loose nomads, their invasions are often an infiltration invasion, and they are not as accustomed to gathering a large number of troops at once for a short large-scale confrontation like humans.

And this can also be seen in the record of engagements that began in 2076.

This characteristic of the Insats may be difficult to understand from the perspective of the human mind, but when Leona explains the problem from a biological point of view, it is much easier to understand.

From the social habits of living things, although the Insats are intelligent species, their social habits are still relatively simple. Because its brain structure is a single-brain structure, lacking an existence like the human right brain, the Insats basically do not have instincts such as emotions, feelings, and creativity, and the social composition does not have as many functional distinctions as human society, so its structure is much simpler. To put it more figuratively, the social structure of the Insats people is very similar to that of termites in the earth's organisms, or in other words, their social structure is simpler than that of termites.

In the social structure of termites, there are four clear functional divisions: ant queen, queen ant, soldier ant, and worker ant. However, there is no division of functions in the social structure of the Insats, they are like copies of each one, and the talents of each Insats are almost identical. As dioecious, they can have offspring and reproduce races at any time. When it's time to fight, any of them can be instantly equipped with biological armor and put into battle. In daily life, when they are not fighting, they can carefully breed countless experimental organisms with different characteristics and functions like a biological breeder. Therefore, each of them is essentially a generalist, and it is not like other social species that will collapse their social composition because of the absence of one of them.

Therefore, when the Insats expanded outward in search of new habitats, they tended to live in dragon pupae units. Using a dragon chrysalis biological warship to determine an expansion area, the territorial awareness and resource awareness between each other make it almost impossible for them to cooperate on a large scale, so in a galaxy, there is basically only one dragon chrysalis battleship. Only when the resources of the galaxy are depleted and the Insats tribe entrenched in the system needs to move widely to find new territories, will the Insats tribe hatch a large number of dragon chrysalis a hundred years in advance for migration.

In the hundreds of millions of years of evolution and development of the Insats, this mode of expansion has been unstoppable and has never encountered any obstacles. However, when they poked their expansion out of the Andromeda galaxy and collided with another intelligent species, human civilization, this expansion mode and invasion methods were somewhat insufficient.

It is true that in the history of biological evolution, the evolutionary history of human beings in just five million years is not comparable to the evolutionary history of the Insats for billions of years. And the 10,000-year history of human civilization may be as short as a moment in the eyes of the Insats. However, unlike the Insats, who have never encountered natural predators on the road of evolution, have a simple social structure, and have never had infighting within their race, human beings have faced the threat of natural predators almost all the time in their 5 million years of evolutionary history.

Not to mention the sinister living environment of human beings in the ape-man era, let's just say that in the 10,000-year history of civilization in modern times, when the human species completely eliminated all natural enemies and became the master of the earth, there was never real peace in the human race.

The well-developed right brain gives human creativity and the ability to distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, but it also brings human beings different views on things and conflicts of ideas. For these inexplicable reasons, almost all of the nearly 10,000-year history of civilization has been written by human internal wars. Therefore, compared to the Insats, who are smooth sailing and regard only the natural environment as their main opponent, humans are more accustomed to facing enemies that are stronger than themselves, and they are more accustomed to relying on collective strength to win.

As a result, when facing war, human beings will always assemble a large corps as quickly as possible, relying on local numerical superiority to win the war. Fighting a large-scale battle is commonplace for humans, but the Insats may not understand why they need to send a huge army to fight for the sake of a small land.

You can say it's a difference between the two mindsets, or you can say it's a cultural difference between the two civilizations. After all, in terms of the characteristics of civilization, human civilization is an agrarian civilization with very obvious characteristics, while the Insats are similar to a nomadic civilization.

The most significant difference between the two modes of civilization is the efficiency of the use of resources.

For example, if a human and an Insat were equally given five acres of land. Then the Insat, who lack creativity, will only see the grass growing on the land and the minerals hidden in the soil. According to the natural production capacity of the land, they will think that the amount of pasture growing on a mere five acres of land is simply not enough to support large organisms such as horses and cattle. So, they might just raise a few rabbits and spend hundreds of years transforming them into something that can digest anything...
