Volume 2 The Sea of Stars Chapter 45 Take the initiative
While the Chinese civilization was busy taking over the subsidiary civilizations and developing itself, hundreds of light years away, a huge interstellar war gradually came to an end.
The war between the Kashiva and the Kakra has been going on for nearly a hundred standard years, and in the vast battlefield that stretches across several galaxies, hundreds of fleets of all kinds have been invested on both sides, and tens of billions of lives have been wiped out.
Several galaxies that served as battlefields have been completely destroyed, and the wreckage of warships and celestial bodies fills the entire space.
Flying around and colliding into smaller pieces, it will become a mecca for scavengers in the starry sky when the war ends, from which they will pick up and salvage valuable items, and the rest will form massive nebulae over time to give birth to new galaxies.
The war has reached this point, and although the two civilizations have not run out of oil, it can be regarded as a nerve-wracking, and the resources consumed by both sides have exceeded the galaxy they are fighting for on the surface, which has aroused the peeps of other civilizations around them.
In order to avoid the true image of the ruins of the third-level civilization being discovered by other civilizations, the Kashiwa civilization and the Kak civilization each automatically used their hole cards to prepare for a quick victory.
The hole cards of each civilization are their ultimate guarantee, condensing the most important resources of the entire civilization, as the existence of their entire civilization heritage, once damaged or lost, it is difficult to make up for it, so it will not be easily used under normal circumstances.
The hole card of the Kashiva civilization is a castrated version of the third-level civilization technology fleet, and the hole card of the Kakra civilization is a planetary fortress that also has some third-level civilization technology, and the two have the pinnacle duel between the second-level civilizations, and finally the ace fleet of the Kashiva civilization destroyed the planet fortress with flexible mobility and won the victory by a narrow margin.
Although the Kashiwa civilization has achieved the final victory, they have also lost nearly half of the ace fleet as the hole card, and all the third-level civilization technologies applied in the ace fleet, the Kashiva people do not have independent intellectual property rights, and they cannot crack it, so they can only spend a lot of money to slowly smuggle and accumulate under the strict technical blockade of the advanced civilization, and it is impossible to recover its combat effectiveness for a long time.
With heavy losses on both sides, the war ended abruptly, with the Khakra defeated and withdrawing from the battle for the ruins, abandoning several constellations bordering the Kashiva as a buffer.
In order to delay the Kashiva's attack, the Kakra people were unwilling to be defeated and spread the information of the relics of the third-level civilization to other civilizations, on the one hand, to prevent the Kashiva from exploring the ruins, and on the other hand, to attract the attention of other civilizations, so as to buy them a breather after losing their hole cards, so as not to be divided by their powerful neighbors.
The victorious Kashiva civilization is also unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and is not ready to continue the war, because they have also suffered heavy losses, and the Kakra civilization, which still has a territory of hundreds of light years, is not without the strength to fight again, at least in the short term, it cannot be wiped out.
Compared with the relics of the third-level civilization, it is more important, and the leakage of news about the relics of the third-level civilization has made the Kashiva people have to give up the pursuit of the Kakra people, and instead go all out to explore the relics of the third-level civilization, trying to find the key technology to break through the third-level civilization as soon as possible.
The Kashiva also knew that since the news about the ruins had been leaked, they would not be able to study the ruins safely, and could only loot as many materials and technology as possible before other civilizations intervened.
In previous wars, due to mutual intervention by both sides, neither the Kashiva nor the Kakra were able to effectively explore the ruins.
Now that the Kashiva have won and the exploration of the ruins can only start from scratch, in order to speed up the progress, they have sent most of the top scientists from the affiliated civilizations to participate in the ruins cracking work, and at the same time closed the stargates in the territory, sent the only fleet to guard the border, and did not allow any ships outside them to borrow the stargates, delaying the development of the ruins.
The ruins are located between the sphere of influence of the Kashiwa civilization and the Kakra civilization, and the other civilizations that have the strength to compete for the ruins are far away, and without passing through the stargate, even if they use space projection, they will slowly climb the ships with the inducing force field into their territory, so even the third-level civilization will not be able to interfere with them in a short period of time due to the speed of space navigation.
Therefore, the Kashiva are optimistic that they will have at least hundreds of years to crack this ruin, and that they will likely become a Level 3 civilization by then.
However, it backfired, not long after their war ended, a powerful fleet of unknown civilizations quietly came to the door, easily defeating the guarded Stargate fleet, and then encroaching on the internal territory.
What puzzled the Kashiva was that this powerful fleet did not come from any known powerful civilization, but the Chinese civilization they originally wanted to enslave, and the Chinese civilization suspected of possessing Level 3 technology was the second most important target of the Kashiwa civilization, second only to the relics of the Level 3 civilization.
They have never given up enslaving the Chinese civilization, and at the same time, they have not paid enough attention to it, even if this civilization has wiped out many of their motley fleets.
In the original plan of the Kashivas, after exploring the ruins, they would probably be able to recover from their losses in the war, and then send a regular main fleet to clean up the lucky civilization, enslave that race and plunder the technology it had acquired.
But Huaxia Civilization did not obediently wait for them to come to the door to rob, but chose to take the initiative and caught them off guard.
The Kashiva people didn't really know much about the Chinese civilization, or the information they had was outdated, and they couldn't imagine that the primary civilization, which had been like a great enemy for the reserve fleet before, could grow into a powerful existence enough to threaten them in the blink of an eye.
One hundred years is a very short time for an interstellar civilization, and even an interstellar voyage takes more than a hundred years, while many civilizations take more than 100,000 years to go from primitiveness to the stars.
It is impossible for a civilization to complete the leap from a primitive civilization to a third-level civilization within a hundred years, but the earthlings are an exception, they are simply cheating.
In fact, if there was no apocalyptic crisis, the earthlings would have developed from the budding civilization to the interstellar civilization, even without Liu Xingchen's interference, it would have taken less than 10,000 years, which can be said to be a civilization with infinite potential.
With a population of just over 10 million, the Chinese civilization, with the help and guidance of Liu Xingchen, has become a third-level civilization that most other civilizations look up to in less than a hundred years, which also shows that this civilization has great potential.
The speed of development of the Chinese civilization is unimaginable to the Kasihua, in their impression that the Chinese civilization is just a little tricky, only with some strange means to damage their motley fleet, and when they are free from the war, a few main fleets can be easily destroyed, how can they bully them in the blink of an eye.
The timing of the Chinese civilization was very appropriate, the Kashiwa civilization that had experienced many years of war was in the most vulnerable period, most of the fleets with combat effectiveness were lost, and a few powerful support fleets could not be assembled in a hurry.
Coupled with the fact that they had focused their main energy on the ruins, they had never thought that they would be caught off guard by a huge fleet that could break through their borders in a short period of time, and they didn't even know how this fleet appeared.
The fleet of the Chinese civilization appeared as if it had suddenly appeared, and there was no trace of warp sailing at all, and it captured and destroyed the stargate before the Kashiva could react, eliminating the possibility of their timely reinforcements to defend the enemy from outside the territory, and completely falling one of the most important border systems.
After the Chinese civilization unexpectedly defeated the only frontier fleet in Kashiva, it did not encounter much strong resistance, in fact, the resistance of the Kashiva fleet was unexpectedly weak, which is also because the Chinese civilization has become stronger.
The fleet can successfully take every galaxy it visits, and the Kashiwa civilization was destroyed before it even had time to organize a rescue stargate, and the Chinese civilization was like fighting at home.
