Chapter 505: Pegasus
The name of this fifth-level civilization is not the Pegasus civilization, and in the information of the Predator civilization, this civilization is called by a different galaxy name. Coincidentally, that galaxy was in Xiao Yu's star map, in the direction of Pegasus, so Xiao Yu simply named it Pegasus civilization.
Xiao Yu got a lot of valuable information from this predator civilization. The predator civilization is a civilization with a very special form of existence, which is similar to Xiao Yu's current state. It's just that they have been drifting in the galaxy for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. In this way, countless intelligent beings use the spaceship as their home, spend their lives in it, birth, old age, sickness and death, and then reproduce, and the offspring will continue the journey of their predecessors.
Hundreds of thousands of years is enough time to travel back and forth in the Milky Way several times and explore the Milky Way almost once. Exploring the entire galaxy is a heavy task that requires a lot of human and financial resources, and I am afraid that even a sixth-level civilization may not be able to support it. Besides, there was no need for a sixth-level civilization to carry out similar exploration activities.
In other words, in terms of understanding the galaxy, the level of this predator civilization is likely to be above that of the sixth-level civilization.
Among the information obtained from this predator civilization, there is an approximate fifth-level civilization strength ranking, and in this ranking, there are about twenty fifth-level civilizations. These more than twenty fifth-level civilizations are all the fifth-level civilizations that this predator civilization has come into contact with or heard of during its long journey of tens of millions of years. This Pegasus civilization is the fifth-level civilization that ranks first in this ranking. According to the data of the Predator civilization, the total population of the Pegasus civilization is about 200 billion, occupying more than 50 living planets and hundreds of mineral and industrial planets.
With such a huge civilization, you can imagine how powerful it will be. This civilization. Among the criteria for evaluating the strength of the Predator civilization, it is extremely dangerous, and the fleet that encounters the Pegasus civilization would rather go around than come into contact with them.
"How many unique technologies will such a powerful fifth-level civilization have? After obtaining these technologies, how far will my technology level develop? It's really exciting to think about......"
In this state of expectation, Xiao Yu's fleet embarked on a long journey that lasted for seven thousand light years.
Xiao Yu's speed at the moment is thirty-five times the speed of light, which means that it will take Xiao Yu about two hundred years to reach his destination. However, considering that there is still a need for replenishment on the road, as well as acceleration, deceleration, some unexpected attrition, etc. Xiao Yu believes that it will take him about two hundred and fifty to three hundred years to reach his goal.
"According to the data of the Predator civilization, in this Pegasus civilization, there are at least 10 million military ships. Among them, there are at least five continental-class spacecraft. The maximum speed can reach at least twenty-five times the speed of light. It's a fierce rival. It is also a civilization that has the potential to reach the height of a sixth-level civilization. ”
"This civilization has always been very low-key, so it has never attracted the attention of the sixth-level civilization, but among the fifth-level civilizations, it has a high reputation. From this analysis, it can probably be inferred that they have been communicating with the rest of the fifth-level civilizations. Then there is a problem, this Pegasus civilization. Is the frequent communication with the other fifth-level civilizations because of weishenme? I think it's probably for the rest of the civilization's unique technology as well. The Pegasus civilization is collecting the unique technology of the remaining level 5 civilizations and preparing to be promoted to the level 6 civilization. ”
"Actually. The speed of travel at least twenty-five times the speed of light also shows this, and it is basically impossible for a civilization to develop to such a point alone. ”
In the highest conference room of the Asia spacecraft, Xiao Yu convened outstanding scientists such as Luca 2, 3, and 4 to analyze the Pegasus civilization from all aspects such as the degree of science and technology, social structure, military strength, and foreign intentions.
"The above is the information marked in the predator civilization. In addition, there are some materials about Pegasus civilization, society, people's livelihood, etc., you can take a look. Xiao Yu said, transmitting the data to the personal computing terminals of the participating scientists.
"I need a reasonable approach for me, to assess the possibility of peaceful engagement and mutual exchange of unique technologies, and I need a timetable for engagement. At the same time, I also need to work out the policy for each unexpected event. For example, if the other side retaliates with hostility towards us and launches a sneak attack or attack on us, how should we respond? ”
"First, let's talk about the possibility of peaceful engagement." Luca II gently stroked his chin and said with a frown: "The information is limited, and I can't draw a clear conclusion for the time being. However, based on the current data, I believe that there is a high possibility of peaceful engagement. At least, in the process of frequent contact between the Pegasus civilization and the rest of the civilization, no civilization has been wiped out by it. ”
"You're saying that the Pegasus civilization has been trading exclusive technology peacefully with the rest of the civilizations?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Quite possibly." Lukka II nodded slightly.
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "But you ignored one point. You must know that the rest of the civilizations, such as this fifth-level civilization called the Ship Base civilization, show that they are also in close contact with the Pegasus civilization. However, this shipped-base civilization is only at the ordinary level in the strength rating of the predator civilization, and its overall strength is even inferior to that of the predator civilization. In other words, the Ship base civilization is much weaker than the Pegasus civilization. Peaceful trade is a big category, backed by strength, is signing an alliance under the city considered a peace deal? ”
"Oh? Are you saying that the so-called peaceful trade between this Pegasus civilization and the rest of the civilization is most likely an unequal trade backed by strength? And when it encounters our Shenzhou civilization, if it can't make us surrender in a deterrent way, the Pegasus civilization will launch a military strike? Luca II said.
"Yes. I think it's also very likely. In general, I am reluctant to start a war, and I am more willing to pay some price than to get what I want in a peaceful way. Xiao Yu said, "However, it is not up to us to decide whether to start a war or not." So let's prepare for two things. This Pegasus civilization wants peace, and I will give them peace. If this Pegasus civilization wants war, give them war. ”
Xiao Yu has absolute confidence in his own strength. Sixth-level civilization Xiao Yu didn't dare to say that among the fifth-level civilization, Xiao Yu had never been afraid of anyone.
Getting what you want is the first thing, Xiao Yu only needs the result, and doesn't care whether the process is war or peace. This is Xiao Yu's sanity. At the same time, Xiao Yu's feelings tend to use peaceful means. It is precisely because of absolute certainty that Xiao Yu let go of his feelings and prefers to use peaceful means. If Xiao Yu doesn't have the current strength, then Xiao Yu will suppress his personal preferences and choose sneak attacks, conspiracies and other means with reason as the lead.
In short, no matter what, getting what you want is the first thing.
"Let me analyze the strength of the Pegasus civilization from the scientific and technological level." Luca III stood up and said, "There's a lot to be learned from twenty-five times the speed of light. However, the Predator civilization describes the Pegasus civilization as having a speed of at least twenty-five times the speed of light, and these materials are more than 3,000 years old. According to the normal speed of technological development of the Pegasus civilization, I think that the most advanced warship of the Pegasus civilization should be able to reach thirty times the speed of light at this moment. This speed, compared to us, is not much worse. ”
"The Pegasus civilization occupies dozens of life planets and hundreds of industrial and mineral planets, which means that the Pegasus civilization has a huge population base and strong industrial strength. According to the information of the Predator civilization, the Pegasus civilization has 10 million warships, and I believe that this number is only the standing military strength of the Pegasus civilization, and in the event of war, this number will increase by at least 70%. At least five continental-class ships, this number has already surpassed ours. That's all the strength of the Pegasus civilization. Luca III hesitated for a moment and continued: "I don't think we have to choose such a hard bone as our first target. We can choose this civilization in the direction of the base of the ship, or choose this civilization in the constellation Sextant...... In comparison, these two fifth-level civilizations are much easier to start. This civilization of the Sextant does not even have a continental-class ship, and it is on the same level as the Murlian civilization that we have wiped out. ”
"If you want to choose, choose the most powerful attack, is it, a civilization that has no space weapons and no four maintenance covers, may still be our opponent?" Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The most important thing is that we still have the Ball of Death to use." If that's really not possible, you'll all go into deep ice and use a ball of death to take out the Pegasus civilization. ”
"The most important point...... We are not engaged in positional warfare with the Pegasus civilization, and without positional warfare, their huge fleet will not be able to fully exert its power. Besides, our goal is only their technology, not to wipe them all out...... Of course, if I had to destroy them all to get what I wanted, I wouldn't be relentless......" (To be continued......
