Zhou Chen was silent, if it was really as Li Kai said, the remains of these four spaceships belonged to the fourth-level civilization fleet, then the value of them would be too precious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the Earth Fleet has been entering the universe for longer and longer, Zhou Chen is no longer the stunned young man who knows little about the universe at the beginning.

Whether it is the information obtained from the Odo civilization or the information obtained from the Pegasus civilization later, when combined with the analysis, his concept of the hierarchy of civilizations is becoming clearer and clearer.

In layman's terms, civilizations in the universe can be roughly divided into high-level civilizations and low-level civilizations.

The high-level civilization and the low-level civilization here are not simply a question of who is weak and who is strong, but a comprehensive division involving all aspects of the science and technology tree, for example, the second-level civilization meets the third-level civilization, in the eyes of the second-level civilization, the third-level civilization is undoubtedly the high-level civilization, but in fact, in the rigid division of the cosmic civilization, this is not the case, and the third-level civilization is also a low-level civilization!

With the fourth-level civilization as the borderline, all civilizations below the fourth level belong to the category of low-level civilizations, and even if the third-level civilization is strong, there is absolutely no possibility of victory against the weaker fourth-level civilization, which is the most obvious manifestation of the generation gap between the low-level civilization and the high-level civilization.

In the division of civilization levels, the traditional primitive civilization and the first-level civilization are backward civilizations that are fixed on the home planet, and after entering the second-level civilization, they begin to gradually have the ability to develop beyond the home planet, and in the middle and late stages of the second-level civilization, they move into the depths of the universe and become an interstellar civilization.

And only by becoming a third-level civilization and mastering the energy shield and antimatter engine technology is the sign of a mature interstellar civilization!

According to the law of the development of the science and technology tree, the third-level civilization will inevitably appear in the technology or materials of shielding quantum radar at a certain stage, and at this moment the third-level civilization has completed a leap and will no longer be afraid of other civilizations of the same level, just like the Pegasus civilization has mastered the technology of shielding quantum radar, so it can play with the Ferro civilization, which is also a third-level civilization, between applause.

Whether it can be "stealth" is a very tactical feature of interstellar warfare!

Therefore, the civilization of the late stage of the third level almost has a crushing advantage over the civilization below it. Of course, this crushing is mainly reflected in the escape and attack of the fleet, which is a tactical advantage, not a strategic advantage.

What is strategic? The generational gap between the fourth-level civilization and the third-level civilization is the real strategy.

A long time ago, Zhou Chen guessed that the biggest difference between the fourth-level civilization and the third-level civilization was that the fourth-level civilization had mastered the theory of great unification and had the ability to control and manufacture gravitons, in other words, the fourth-level civilization had mastered gravity!

Gravity is a universal "force" in nature, but it is the most mysterious than several other forces.

Under the effect of graviton radar, any civilization that has not mastered graviton shielding technology will become nowhere to escape, and at the same time, the gravity bomb and other attacks launched by the fourth-level civilization will not be able to defend the civilization below the fourth level at all.

In this way, there is no way to escape, and there is no way to resist attacks, wouldn't everything be over when you encounter a fourth-level civilization, and you have to be captured?

That's crushing!

Although this speculation has not yet been fully confirmed, the information recorded in the inheritance pod given by the Pegasus civilization is mostly correct. After all, the Pegasus civilization itself is not a fourth-level civilization, and it is also a guess what technology the fourth-level civilization masters.

At the moment, Li Kai said that one of the four spaceship remains found on Vidak might belong to a fourth-level civilization fleet, and it was also a flagship, how could Zhou Chen not be shocked?

Even if the remains of the other three spaceships were not harvested at all, he would not feel sorry.

"How's that ship in good condition?" Zhou Chen asked solemnly.

"Half of them!"

Li Kai's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately said with a slight regret: "The internal integrity rate of this flagship is only one and a half percent, it's a pity!" ”

Zhou Chen groaned after hearing this, and said, "With such a low intact rate, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the central intelligence brain inside it to be preserved, and we will not be able to obtain complete high-level civilization materials from it......"

"yes, that's a shame." Li Kai shook his head and sighed.

Soon he said happily: "But then again, in the universe, even if a thousandth of the remains are found, they can be regarded as treasures, and it is worth studying carefully, and the integrity rate of one and a half is already quite rare!" ”

Zhou Chen also smiled and nodded.

Li Kai continued: "Judging from the identification results, this is a fourth-level civilization spacecraft that crashed on Vidak five thousand years ago, and the wound characteristics of the remains indicate that it was shot down by man......."

"This says Vidabus, or a little more magnified...... At least there's a powerful weapon system in the Poseidon system that we haven't discovered yet that is powerful enough to destroy it! Zhou Chen said solemnly.

"Of course, it is also possible that these four spaceships were damaged first, and then entered the Poseidon system and crashed on Vidak, but judging from the wounds of the spacecraft, it seems that they cannot support their long endurance, which is unlikely."

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "Let's not discuss how the spaceship crashed, let's continue to talk about your investigation!" ”

Li Kai nodded, and said: "Of course, we were also pleasantly surprised to find that the remains of the ship, except for the central intelligent brain, the integrity of the rest of the auxiliary systems is relatively much better, and some small components can still work normally even now, which is really unbelievable!" ”

"We've exported a lot of useful data from the assistance system! Plus, we can work backwards from its shell to find a lot of valuable things! No matter how bad it is, it can greatly promote our technology in industrial manufacturing and materials! ”

Zhou Chen knew this, no matter what, it was a fourth-level civilization spaceship, and there were really too many things to learn from and inspire.

As the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is meat, and the things of a high-level civilization, even if it is inconspicuous garbage, may also contain the enlightenment of wisdom for a low-level civilization.

Zhou Chen's eyes were full of respect when he looked at Li Kai, this old man was like a devout believer in science, and he showed his rigorous, solemn, and objective attitude in dealing with the remains of the fourth-level civilization spaceship.

It was the right decision to put him in charge of the investigation of the ship's wreckage.

Li Kai said: "The investigation team has transferred all the information that can be transferred, and has carried out data processing on all the details of the spacecraft, leaving the non-transferable large parts and structural design, and the fleet needs to send the corresponding experts and scholars to the spacecraft remains to investigate!" ”

Zhou Chen nodded to show that he understood, and said with a smile: "The data derived from the auxiliary system and the data-based information about the internal structure of the spacecraft will be handed over to the Science and Technology Committee for unified analysis and will be distributed to various departments, it seems that the fleet's scientific system is about to start a busy period again!" ”

"This is a very happy thing, we wish we were so busy every day!" Li Kai's old face showed a smile.

"That's right!" Zhou Chen smiled, a civilization, the continuous busyness of internal scientific research institutions is a good signal, which shows that the science and technology of civilization is in the process of continuous development and progress.

"Now, let's talk about three more spaceship remains." Zhou Chen said.

Li Kai nodded, and soon, three more spaceship remains were displayed in front of him.

"We have analyzed the state of the remains of these three ships, and believe that they should belong to the same fleet as the remains of the flagships in the A-1 area, but they are more damaged and have fewer valuable things!"

The remains of these three spacecraft were almost destroyed to the main frame, and the instruments and system modules carried inside were no longer of reference value.
