Chapter 323: The Reaper's Tools for Evolution

The Salari scientist spoke the hearts of everyone at the scene. Now, after asking about the specifics, it became clear that neither the Protheus nor the Reaper were actually as powerful as they had previously thought.

With this comparison of the number jù provided by the Protése, many of the numbers that had puzzled scholars and technologists before finally had a clue.

Why do they keep harvesting organic intelligent races? Many software and hardware engineers have previously hypothesized about this problem. And a lot of contradictory reasons are given.

Now, they can finally determine the answer to this question. There is no logical contradiction to protect or disparage, and there is no unreliable theory of human nature or mechanical essentialism.

It turns out that this qiē is all because the Reaper itself cannot achieve self-evolution! Although the Reaper looks tall, it seems to have no creative power at all.

These machines will only improve their technical level through exhaustive methods, which are very mechanical and rigid, so it is difficult to achieve any technical level improvement worth mentioning, and the basic theory can never improve on its own.

These collective manifestations are in a few details of Javik's words, and the reaper's current skill level in some aspects is not even as good as the Divine Citadel Intelligence Race!

Wait, how did you come to this conclusion? You may ask, isn't the previous overlord extremely powerful, isn't it all kinds of unparalleled in the Battle of the Divine Castle? Isn't this kind of technical strength strong?

The reason is the size, why does the Reaper have such a large size? It turns out that they are in order to always surpass the organic intelligent race on a technological scale!

Their technological backwardness is made up for by scale, just like the humans in the wandering earth world, without interstellar navigation technology, the humans there use stupid methods to transform the entire earth into an interstellar spaceship to achieve a long escape.

However, the technical scale cannot replace the technological height, and the overall technical level in the Wandering Earth world is still only about the same as in the Mass Effect world. Building a miraculous earth engine can't change the fact that their technology level is not high in a star-level civilization.

The Reaper uses a similar principle, except that they don't have the same big and crazy technical scale. The length of the Overlord is only more than 2 kilometers, which is far less than the size of the Earth Engine.

But even so. The Overlord is nearly 10 times the size of a human dreadnought. If its combat power is amplified in equal proportions, 10 Starlink dreadnoughts may not be able to do anything about it.

If that's the case, the Star Alliance detachment that was responsible for dealing with the overlord during the Battle of the Divine Citadel would not be enough to see at all. It is necessary for the entire Fifth Fleet to go up together to have any hope of overthrowing it.

The overlord model that was previously restored by the Star Federation based on the remains of the overlord collected in the Divine Citadel best illustrates this problem, according to that model. The Overlord's Mass Effect Core should be at least 8 times the size of a Starlink dreadnought! The shield should be 2.5 times stronger than the one that came out of the table at that time.

In this way, the bubble of technological superiority of the Reapers, who had always been one step behind the civilization they had harvested in some way.

But they are always careful to control the gap. Make sure they don't fall too late in one cycle so they can successfully harvest until this cycle.

With such a mature harvesting system, even after being slightly surpassed by the organic intelligent race in some key technologies, they can still achieve the final victory in the war through the huge technical scale and the absolute superiority of the number of individuals.

Harvest as soon as there are signs of danger, drowning a civilization that is somehow technologically superior to them with their unmatched numbers.

Then, they will reap the advanced technology of these intelligent races they have eliminated and strengthen themselves. Make them stronger on their own.

After completing this evolution, they will leave some relics for the next generation of sapient races to discover, and then the next cycle begins. Let the next cycle of civilization continue to provide them with new progressive forces......

The reason for these conclusions is also because they have just conducted an accurate battle simulation, and after the scientists have asked about the performance of the Proxian battleship, some people have proposed that the Yìtong Guò battle simulation program restore the process of one of the battles.

With the help of several servicemen of all nationalities in the command room. A rigorous model of the campaign was built on a mainframe computer using a military simulation program, simulating the battle that was stored in Javik's description.

The performance of both ships and the context of the campaign were accurately replicated. Each warship model is developed at the correct scale and marked with the positions and indicators of each major system.

Using these electronic models and environmental programs, they quickly reconstructed the entire process of the battle, and every blow and dodge on both sides was accurately recorded.

This is also the basic skill of battleship operators, who wants to say that he can't use the simulator to build a campaign model and analyze the battle situation by himself, then that guy will definitely not be able to pass the Guò Star Alliance's primary battleship operation qualification exam.

The campaign model simulates a skirmish of a skirmish narrated by Javik, in which a fleet of Prothean ambushed a Lord-class Reaper of their time.

The battle process is a bit complicated, but the conclusion is simple: according to the campaign simulation, the overlord-level reapers, who fought against the Prosian Empire before, are not at the level of the overlord in the Battle of the Divine Citadel.

The shield strength and firepower level of the Overlord-level Reaper in the simulation program is at most about one-third of that of the Overlord during the Battle of the Citadel a few months ago!

The reason why it is known so accurately is because the exact restoration model of the Battle of the Citadel has been established for a long time, and has been simulated countless times by the armies of various races.

Especially Starlink. They had the most first-hand information, as well as the video of the whole process of the Battle of the Divine Fortress that Shen Chao had anonymously provided before.

Therefore, they restored all the overlord's appearance during the entire campaign, and accurately restored several extremely important numbers according to the effective firepower projected by the Star Alliance fleet at that time, including the specific strength of the overlord's shield. So this result is very reliable.

Javik agreed with them after seeing the results of this simulation, and in his opinion, all the overlord-level reapers of his time could not catch up with this overlord in the Battle of the Citadel.

This also confirms the hypothesis that the Reaper was upgraded after the Prothean had been eliminated. They collected a qiē of supplies from the ruins of the Proxian Empire and transformed themselves into what they are now.

The results of such an analysis made those present wonder whether to be happy or sad, because according to Javik's description, the number of warships of all classes in the Reaper fleet was at least 4 million.

The number of 4 million alone is ten times the number of all regular warships in the galaxy at present, not to mention how desperate the actual combat strength of the two sides is due to their size.

But at the same time, there is also hope in zài. Reapers lack the means to improve themselves, so although they are very strong, they are so strong that they don't suddenly become more powerful for no reason. The most powerful reaper is also at the level of the overlord.

What's more, according to Javik, the speed of the Reaper is not very scary either, as long as there is no way back that they don't know.

Well, the Reaper is now starting from the dark space outside the galaxy, and it will take at least 3 to 5 years to return to the galaxy's main Mass Effect repeater network.

In contrast, the races in the space of the Divine Citadel still have a lot of potential to be tapped. And Javik also mentions their superweapon program to inherit the previous civilization. That is, the supernator in the game.

Shen Chao then sent a message to the Normandy in the name of a shadow broker, saying that there was a "possibility" of drawings for the weapon in the Martian archives of the solar system.

Therefore, now that Sister Xue has led the team to the Mars Archives to find the blueprints of the superweapon, if nothing else, she will come back with the drawings, and then, it will be impossible for the Reaper to take his eyes away.

For nearly a week to follow, experts in various fields took turns to extract all the useful information of his time from Javik's mouth, and even the doctors who asked them about the mating habits of their race.

During this time, military representatives of various clans and the Assari Councillor who had already arrived also met briefly with the resurgent Protheus to verify the authenticity of the Proxian at close range, and to consult his opinion and experience in fighting the Reapers.

Shen Chao knew that under the influence of this incident, the Divine Citadel Council had presided over several closed-door consultations with the governments of the major races, and through the Guò Shadow Broker Intelligence Network, he knew most of the content of the consultations.

Now, the major races are seriously considering preparing for war. The communication links between the various clan governments have been doubled, and with the intelligence of the Protheus, everyone knows most of the threats to the Reapers.

The amount of communication between the various ethnic governments has increased dramatically, and the intelligence services of the major races, at the behest of several members of the Divine Citadel Council, have carried out an unprecedented large-scale cooperation in the shadows.

I have to say that the intelligence departments of the major races are still very powerful, especially when they act together, Shen Chao only feels that the shadow agent seems to be a soy sauce.

The total size of the intelligence departments of several major races is nearly a hundred times that of the intelligence network of the shadow brokers, and if it weren't for the previous shadow brokers who hid themselves well, I am afraid that they could be destroyed by these powerful intelligence organizations in every minute.

To get back to the point, with the cooperation of the intelligence departments of various ethnic groups, everyone confessed to each other, and it turned out that there were many "suspected" or "confirmed" Reaper devices in the hands of each family.

And most of these things have the ability to educate, and Javik has drawn a lot of devices with educational functions that he has seen before.

This frightened many high-level officials, and governments then sealed the equipment and then launched a thorough investigation to isolate those suspected of being indoctrinated. (To be continued.) )
