Chapter 35: Mankind's First Cosmic War

"Report the situation" forced him to calm down, Chen Peilin said as he stood in the command center. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"President, the fleet has been attacked by a large group of unknown enemies, the enemy warship is in the shape of a butterfly, using energy weapons, and the energy level is C" Vice Admiral Zhang Zheng's straight figure appeared on the real-time video.

"Huh......" Hearing this, Chen Peilin barely breathed a sigh of relief. C-level energy level, which means that the enemy only has the technological level of a fourth-level civilization, and even the second and third fleets can crush them.

"What about fleet casualties?" Chen Peilin asked.

"There were no casualties, and the fleet opened its energy shield in time." Zhang Zheng replied.

"Is the First Fleet sure of destroying the enemy in front of you?" Chen Peilin asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Zheng replied with a puffed up. "But President, I don't recommend doing it now," Zhang Zheng replied.

"Why?" Chen Peilin asked suspiciously.

"There are transparent biological crystals on the outside of our frigate's armor, as long as we remove the energy shield, they can store the energy of the enemy's attack, although the energy level is only C-level, but a C-level energy crystal is enough for a hovering car to use for half a year." Zhang Zheng replied with a smile, not feeling nervous at all.

The placement of transparent biocrystals outside the fleet is also a suggestion from military experts. At that time, a large number of transparent biological crystals were harvested from the Martian base, which had no energy, but had the property of absorbing and storing energy. It is a pity to recharge these biological crystals and abandon them, so fixing these crystals on the outside of the deck of the battleship can absorb the enemy's weapon damage and convert it into your own energy during battle, and can even be extracted to charge the secondary cannon. Even if it is not used, it can be disassembled and sold to the company and processed into civilian products.

Some experts also proposed to build a battleship directly with biological crystals as the main body, so that you can constantly use the enemy's attack energy to charge the main gun, and as long as the enemy does not stop attacking in wartime, the main gun is definitely not afraid of lack of energy. Of course, such a plan was stillborn before it could be implemented. One is because the strength of the biocrystals is not strong enough, and they can't withstand the attack of kinetic weapons at all. If the enemy adopts electromagnetic weapons, the battleship is useless. Another reason is that there is also a problem with the conversion efficiency of the energy absorbed by the biocrystal, and it is impossible to convert it all. There is also the fact that the fleet will not lack energy at all, so there is no need to do this at all.

………… Chen Peilin was embarrassed. "How long does it take to recharge?"

"According to the current attack intensity, it only takes twenty minutes," Zhang Zheng replied.

"Immediately counterattack after those twenty minutes, remember, capture some prisoners, and we must know who the enemy is if we are attacked inexplicably." Chen Peilin said.

"Yes!" Zhang Zheng saluted, and then cut off the live video.

The door of the command center opened, and Zhuge Wushuang walked in quickly, "How is it?" What do you think? I heard that there was an attack? ”

"The fleet has been attacked, what are you so excited about?" Chen Peilin glanced at Zhuge Wushuang and said.

"Isn't this the first time I've encountered a cosmic war, don't you know I'm a science fiction fan," Zhuge Wushuang said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid we'll fail?" Chen Peilin asked strangely.

"Cut! How could we fail? With just four flagships and the First Fleet, we're invincible in the galaxy, and we won't run away if we can't beat it. I saw that the fleet had not made a jump for so long, and I knew that we had won the battle, and the losses were minimal. I don't know you yet? Even if there is a big loss, you will order the jump," Zhuge Wushuang pouted and said.

"You know me, that's what I thought at the time. But now there is no need, just a fourth-level civilization, with this C-level energy intensity, they can't break through the fleet when the shield is closed," Chen Peilin said disdainfully as he looked at the dense attack beams outside.

"I suggest that the battle be broadcast in real time throughout the fleet." Zhuge Wushuang pondered for a while and said.

"Aren't you afraid of causing a riot?" Chen Peilin asked.

"It doesn't matter, the fleet has no so-called rear in the universe at all, and battles in the future are even more commonplace, and you always have to adapt, and this battle without suspense can also make the whole fleet build confidence in the fleet, and the foreign enemy can also strengthen the cohesion of the fleet. Haven't we been worried that there are not enough troops? After this battle, it is estimated that the number of people who signed up to join the army will be full. "Zhuge Wushuang Dao.

……

"Fellow citizens, the fleet has been attacked, and now the convoy is fighting the enemy, please rest assured that we are safe. According to the order of the General Command, the combat video of the fleet is now broadcast to the whole fleet in real time" The pleasant voice of the announcer was heard in the fleet, and everyone stopped what they were doing in a panic and focused on watching the battle video playing on the monitor.

"Wow! Spinach, you see, the enemy's firepower is really fierce enough, and the entire battlefield is illuminated," Ding Weijian pointed to the battlefield in the image and said in horror.

"What's the big deal, it's just a C-level energy level, and even the small expedition ship of our cowboy team has several notches of firepower stronger than theirs." Zhou Bocai said disdainfully. The cowboy team used these contribution points to buy a 500-meter-long small spaceship for future space exploration, and at that time they were envious of other expedition teams, which was the first team in the fleet to have its own expedition spaceship. The weapons equipped with the expedition spacecraft are of the fifth level of civilization, although they are not comparable to the firepower of the warships of the human fleet, but compared to these enemies outside, they are definitely a world of difference.

"Hehe, don't I think it's good-looking, like fireworks," Ding Weijian said embarrassedly.

"Look, our fleet has counterattacked," Zhou Bocai said.

I saw the huge destroyers and frigates of the First Fleet in the fleet showing their hideous muzzles and pointing at the enemy fleet, and then, countless dark purple beams of light shot towards the enemy ships, and the places where the beams passed were like autumn winds sweeping away leaves, all the enemy ships on the way were all shattered, and the number of enemy ships was sharply reduced by just one salvo, and then all kinds of medium-sized warships, assault ships, and gunboats were also put into battle, and for a while, dark purple energy beams filled the entire battlefield, and countless enemies turned into ashes. The counterattack was very fast and fast, after only three salvos of the main gun and secondary guns, there were very few surviving enemy ships on the battlefield, and then the assault ship carrying the commandos rushed to the surviving enemy ships under the cover of the fighters, but unfortunately, the enemy seemed to have discovered the intentions of the human beings, and when the assault ship had not yet arrived at the enemy warship, the battleship was decisively self-destructed, and the only enemy ship was also reduced to ashes in the violent explosion.

"Quiet! The entire fleet fell silent, and people watched the battle images silently, indulging in it. A cheer came from somewhere, and then as if it was contagious, the whole fleet turned into a sea of joy, and people hugged each other and cheered in celebration of the fleet's victory. Proud of the strong force of the fleet. Before this, many people were coerced into the fleet, and although they had heard of the strength of the fleet, they had never seen it, so they didn't believe it. Now that they really saw the fleet destroying the powerful enemy, their doubts were finally put down, and they believed that the fleet was really capable of protecting their safety, and that they truly recognized the fleet and belonged to the fleet. ”

"It's too unbeatable!" Chen Peilin looked at the video and said dumbfounded.

"The difference in civilization level is there, what can be done. If you try to confront the ancient Roman legions and the American army, there is no comparison at all. However, these enemies are really tenacious enough, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent, and they will not drag the mud and water at all, and they are really ruthless. Zhuge Wushuang said.

"The war between two civilized races is like this, and you still expect to exchange prisoners. The only consequence of being caught is to be dissected and studied, and it is better to die. Chen Peilin answered. After speaking, he pressed the button in front of the command platform and ordered: "Let the salvage fleet go around the battlefield and see if you can get something useful." Beware of the wreckage's auto-defensive firepower, and don't get caught up in such trivial matters. ”

The salvage fleet of the fleet is divided into two types, the first is owned by the fleet, and it is generally the salvage fleet to which the fleet belongs after the end of the war to find survivors or capture enemy prisoners, as well as to find precious resources and so on. The second type is owned by private companies, after the work of the salvage fleet to which the fleet belongs, the follow-up work is carried out by the salvage fleet of the private companies of the fleet, and these companies collect the broken metal and instruments that can be recycled and sell them to the enterprises that need them, so as to earn contribution points. This is the most efficient use of resources, and this industry is also a major focus of the fleet. Of course, not everyone can carry out salvage operations as long as they have a spaceship, and they must have a qualified enterprise.

Two hours later, all the salvage work was basically over, and the salvage report was also passed to Chen Peilin.

"It's strange that there is no body of an intelligent creature on the battlefield, and there is no broken one, it's too strange. Could it be that this fleet is unmanned? Chen Peilin frowned and thought.

"What's so strange about this, isn't our space fighter also unmanned, it's normal for pilots to bring mind connectors to control space fighter battles, we can think of it, they must be able to do it too." Zhuge Wushuang responded.

"But our aerospace aircraft carriers and warships are manned, and I'm talking about warships, not warplanes. It's not a nature at all. No matter how complex the structure of the battleship is, we can't achieve it, do you think it can be achieved with their technological level? Chen Peilin asked rhetorically.

"It's strange enough to say that, could it be that their life forms are different from ours or even carbon-based creatures at all, so we ignore them?"

"Hmm...... It's still impossible, judging by the wreckage of the battleship, there are no signs of intelligent beings at all. Chen Peilin said.

"This is an unmanned fleet, controlled by artificial intelligence," Natalie's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Peilin's ears.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, just that low-level artificial intelligence, I just found it here, it should have mutated, in an uncontrollable state, maybe there was a problem when it was designed, but it is just a chaotic program in the quantum state, and it is not life at all. It's the same as our fleet's shipboard AI, but it's not as powerful as our mastermind. However, the civilization that designed it may be unlucky, and since it exists, it means that that civilization may be wiped out by it. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the reason for the defection of artificial intelligence. However, this possibility is almost zero, and artificial intelligence has a great advantage over intelligent beings. At the same level of technology, it is almost crushing. Natalie said.

"I think we should talk about how to apply artificial intelligence," Chen Peilin muttered in a cold sweat.
