Chapter 181: Questioning
When I entered the conference hall of the decision researchers, it was already overcrowded, there were real people in the hall, and there were also remote projections, which were almost crowded with the entire hall, and roughly calculated, there were at least four or five hundred people.
Panlong Group was supposed to have eleven directors, but except for Li Chonglou, all of them have arrived. Of course, it is only a projection of remote connection, as a star field consortium, there are no special circumstances, and basically more than two directors will not appear in the same place at the same time.
The voices of the participants sounded in the hall from time to time, and one after another scholars or researchers stood up one after another, expressing their opinions one by one, Dong An's arrival only attracted the attention of several participants near the door, and the directors on the rostrum just casually glanced over, and it is estimated that most people do not know who Dong An is. But to be able to appear here means that it has been reviewed by guò.
Sitting down in a corner at random, Dong An listened to the speeches of the meeting personnel while browsing the theme information about the decision-making meeting in his personal terminal. On the way here, she had already received the information, and after a cursory glance, she probably knew what was going on.
With the destruction of two colonies and the invasion of powerful bugs, this decision will affect the future fate of the entire Panlong Group.
As an outsider, and an outsider under house arrest, Dong An doesn't care about the fate of Panlong Group, as long as she doesn't bother her.
"According to the footage that came back, we learned that this enemy is an infinitely proliferating civilization, and we gave it an easy-to-understand name - Zerg. That's right, it's a virtual game that many of us played as kids. The Zerg who have always played the opposite role. The Zerg have an important characteristic of an infinitely multiplying civilization - infinite proliferation. ”
"That is, when it attacks our planet. Probably only ten million in number, when attacking the next planet. It could be 20 million, and as long as the resources are sufficient, they can increase indefinitely until the entire galaxy is filled. Therefore, in the face of infinitely multiplying civilizations, we must strangle them at their weakest before they grow up. ”
"Infinite multiplication of civilization is not only the enemy of our Panlong Group, but also the entire human race. The enemies of all civilizations in the entire galaxy, their terrible growth rate, they are destined to fill the entire galaxy in the future, we do not have the ability to sail across the galaxy, that is to say, no matter where we flee, we will never be able to escape these bugs, they will only die early or late. So, I would like to ask all the attendees and directors. Don't have the idea of running away, fighting to the death is the only way out for us. ”
"Not only will we fight to the death, but we will unite all the civilizations of all mankind, and even the entire river system. Fight to the death together. Every minute of delay adds an extra point of strength to the bugs, don't hesitate. Don't hesitate, starting mobilization for war immediately is what we should do. ”
A distinctly hawkish military figure spoke like a speech. Speaking impassionedly, his words touched many people. In the exchange of heads, many people nodded their heads.
After the military people sat down, several chairmen on the rostrum exchanged ideas, pressed the button on the desktop, and an old man wearing a white hexagram owed a debt in his seat, and sat there directly and said: "According to the analysis of our experts in cosmobiology, structure, energetics and other disciplines, these bugs have the following characteristics. ”
"Infinite proliferation. Yes, the general was right just now, this is an infinitely multiplying civilization, they are mainly for plundering resources, and the invasion of our colonies may be just an incidental act. Because our colony star is enriched with the most resources in the surrounding star fields, and most of them are refined. ”
"From the analysis of a large number of images, it can be seen that these insects have little interest in exterminating our human individuals, unless it is a large battleship spaceship, when it has enough weapons to harm them, these insects will pursue, if it is a small spaceship that is not threatening, and does not block their path, these insects rarely take the initiative to attack."
"To sum up, we believe that these bugs have no subjective intention to invade us. However, their danger is as huge as the general said, they are the locusts in the stars, plundering a qiē resource, expanding their numbers infinitely, and then squeezing the living space of all living things, to destroy locusts, we must rush before they become locust plagues. ”
The old man's voice was not too angry, but his tone was sonorous and powerful.
Then, another middle-aged researcher stood up, rubbed his nose habitually, and said, "Let me introduce some of the characteristics of these Zerg that we have described. ”
"These bugs have the ability of directional evolution, this is the largest number of bugs, they look like cockroaches, they have wings, and they can fly in the atmosphere, but in fact, interstellar creatures don't need wings, their wings are more like directional evolution and adapt to our atmospheric environment, you see this video."
The middle-aged researcher swiped a few times in the personal terminal in his hand, and an image was thrown out by him, and on the image, a fast-flying insect suddenly increased again in the air without warning, and pounced on the target.
The image was just a cut from the larger image, and if it wasn't shown independently, few people in the room would notice it.
"It can be seen that wings are not the only means of flight for insects, but they have evolved to adapt to our atmospheric environment."
"The second point is that these insects have super physical defense capabilities, and individuals of about two meters can't even be pierced by naval guns." As he spoke, the researcher threw out some footage at the right time, all of which were images of the bugs being attacked, all of which slowed down.
It can be clearly seen that the huge warhead hits the body of the insect at high speed, colliding with each other and producing a little deformation, the carapace of the insect has a dented trace, but the warhead is deformed and fragmented. The bugs were ejected and the warhead was torn apart.
Only a few cannonballs that hit the bug's limbs brought visible damage to the bug.
"According to our speculation, these bugs have super impact-countering structures underneath their shells, and even energy layers, and physical attacks are ineffective against them, so we use energy weapons, such as lasers, tachyns, microwaves, and so on. Nukes can also be equipped. ”
One after another, the participants spoke one after another, providing reference for the directors' decision-making.
But listening to it, Dong An couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but press the speech button at hand.
Soon, the person presiding over the podium took note of her request for the floor and saw her specific information. A person with experience in voyage exploration and achievements in species discovery, the opinion is still very valuable, and the host gave her the right to speak at the first time.
Dong An didn't stand up, just sat up straight, glanced around the venue, and asked unceremoniously: "I've listened for a long time, and I only heard uncertain words such as 'based on images', 'speculation' and 'possibly', I said, do you really know these species?" Just based on some video data and speculation, you want to make decisions that involve the life and death of tens of billions of people? What do you think about playing games? ”
"Are you really sure this is an infinitely proliferating civilization? Don't you know that biological civilizations also have the ability or technology to evolve in a directed way? If it's a biological civilization, your previous inference that 'the sooner you fight, the better' is wrong. Have you determined what level of civilization the enemy is? Secondary? Level 3? If it is a third-level civilization, it must have mastered the methods of astronautics such as curvature navigation and space jumping, how can you fight in the face of such an enemy? ”
"I listened to it for a long time, except for speculation, that is, to fight to the death, none of them were built for the elderly, weak women and children, future generations, and the continuation of the species."
"Even if this is an infinitely multiplying civilization, it will take time for it to occupy the entire river system, maybe thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, which is insignificant in the time scale of the universe, but in human time, this is the reincarnation of dozens or hundreds of generations, how can you decide the fate of your descendants in the next dozens of generations?"
"The enemy you think is difficult to deal with does not mean that future generations are also difficult to deal with, a strategic retreat, for tens of millions of years for future generations, is it possible that human beings have not developed a higher level of civilization?"
"And, in the face of an infinitely proliferating civilization, is it the right thing to fight to the death? Originally, they needed to plunder the data, so they needed to occupy the territory planet by planet, but if you send a fleet, if you can't win at a small price, it is equivalent to sending resources to the enemy, and when your fleet is destroyed, the enemy may have tens of millions more. ”
"It is not courage and stupidity to gamble on the future and fate of an entire species based on some images and speculations. Have you ever wondered why such a ferocious species as an infinitely proliferating civilization has never been able to occupy the entire galaxy for tens of billions of years? Could it be that in the galaxy, it is really our turn to decide the fate of humanity? Don't be too arrogant. ”
"In any case, without figuring out the true strength of the enemy, blindly shouting to fight to the death is simply stupid."
Dong An's speech was very fast, but his words were clear, and the participants were speechless like machine guns.
She is a woman with the achievements of species discovery, even moving zombies have seen, as for those magical non-intelligent alien creatures, she has seen too much, and deeply understands that the universe is so big that there are no surprises. Human beings are so small beings in the vast universe that blind arrogance will only lead to their own destruction.
Without knowing anything, they clamored to fight to the death, and it can only be said that over the years, the Panlong Group has developed too smoothly, so that these people no longer have the concept of defeat in their minds, and they don't realize that if their guess is wrong, then it is likely that they will not even have a chance to escape and surrender.
Shouldn't this time be the first to reconnoiter the enemy's situation? While doing a good job of combat mobilization, we must also be prepared for a strategic retreat when the situation is unfavorable, otherwise at that time, if the enemy really has advanced astronautical means such as curvature navigation or space jumping, what will happen to the tens of billions of humans in the Panlong Star Domain? (To be continued......)
