Dongfang A6's experience is not as bumpy as Xia and Han Bing, since the two of them established or took over the civilization, there have been constant wars and disputes. Since the establishment of civilization in the East, the first enemy encountered was the third quadrant, which was equal in strength, but it did not immediately fight.

Since the Saints Expeditionary Force left Earth and started a journey to pursue the third quadrant, Dongfang never imagined that it would be a very long road.

The central computer poison dragon in the third quadrant did not flee in a clear direction, but kept flying, and while pursuing, Dongfang discovered that the third quadrant had been trying to go to the solar system. But Dongfang understands that once you enter the solar system, the speed of the third quadrant will drop significantly, and the saints will catch up very quickly, and then start a melee, and the third quadrant will be quickly destroyed.

And the poisonous dragon did not dare to go back to its lair, the lair was inhabited by horseshoe crabs, a degraded intelligent human race, if the poisonous dragon returned, it would inevitably bring the saints over, which would bring devastating disasters to the horseshoe crab lair, so it did not dare to take this risk.

Therefore, Dongfang would never have thought that his pursuit would continue endlessly, and ten years would pass soon. The Saint Expeditionary Force carried a large amount of supplies in the team, and did not dare to continue to expand the team during the flight pursuit, because it was afraid that the resources would not be enough.

You must know that in the vast universe, there are no stars around, no planets, it is a void, thin interstellar matter, boundless darkness, and resources cannot be compensated.

Due to Star Airlines' extreme dependence on resources, the birth incentives in Dawn One's population plan were temporarily suspended, fearing that the increase in population would increase the demand for resources.

On the other hand, on Earth, where resources are abundant, Shangguan's Saint Remnant Army is constantly expanding, and the population of Dawn II continues to be the remaining reward mechanism in the real-time population plan. This puts the Earth side in stark contrast to the Expeditionary Force.

In the 55th year of the New Era, the expeditionary force was still 0.5 light-years away from the third quadrant, and due to the similar speed, it was not possible to shorten the distance of the pursuit. This kind of chase is a bit discouraging to everyone, because no one knows when this will be the end.

Dongfang convened a meeting again to discuss whether to continue the pursuit, his chief of staff, Xu Fuhang, was already 90 years old, his actions were already very slow, and his speech was not as neat as before. The start of the saints and the Ming Dynasty can be said to be basically on the same starting line, but the development route of the Ming Dynasty is biotechnology, so there are great achievements in the life span of human beings, and it is not a problem to live a few hundred years old, even when the three major civilizations of the Pan Alliance return to the teacher, the Ming still does not know how old the ultimate life of human beings is, and the summer at that time was already three hundred years old, and the age of the body was still only thirty years old.

The development route of the saints is material science and technology, so there is no breakthrough in the life span of human beings, this is the human beings of the Dawn World, and the theoretical average life expectancy is about 120 years old, which is far from the Ming Dynasty.

"My Chief of Staff," said Dongfang, "what do you think of the old man?" ”

Dongfang is now the body of a computer, his life span is still very young and vigorous, and Xu Fuhang has reached his old age, so in front of him, won't Xu Fuhang become an old man?

Xu Fuhang said: "I don't think it's a way to keep blindly chasing like this. ”

"Do you have any good solutions?" Dongfang asked.

"Sometimes there are, but it's not very mature."

"Let's talk about it."

"Yes, Master, the lower left civilization, that is, the third quadrant of machine civilization, has a common feature with us, that is, it cares very much about the human civilization. For example, the dawn humans of our saints, the horseshoe crab people on the lower left. Master, I would like to ask you a question, how much do you value the humans of Dawn? ”

Dongfang replied: "Chief of Staff, what I want to tell you is that the meaning of the existence of the saints is the existence of human beings, and if there is a war, the saints will protect mankind at all costs. Are you satisfied with such an answer? ”

Xu Fuhang nodded and said, "Sect Master, I have always believed in what you said, and I have always been very satisfied with this sentence. I am asking you this sentence now, not to discuss with you the relationship between us humans and saints, but to say another thing, that is, the Eastern Sect Master, you treat humans like this, and the lower left leader Poison Dragon is likely to treat his horseshoe crabs like you. ”

"What do you mean?" Dongfang was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

"As you said, the meaning of the existence of the machine civilization on the lower left is the existence of the horseshoe crabs, and if there is a war, the lower left will protect the horseshoe crabs at all costs."

"But, my chief of staff, we have reached a consensus on this issue ten years ago, have you forgotten?" Dongfang asked, he saw Xu Fuhang ask this question again, which meant that he was old and confused.

Xu Fuhang shook his head with a smile and said, "Sect Master, our Dawn Human Race has two settlements, one part is in the Saint Expeditionary Force, and the other part is on Earth. ”

"yes, that's right."

"The horseshoe crabs are about the same as us, some of them are in the third quadrant, and some of them live on their native planet."

"Well, our intelligence system has already been scouting this. Lao Xu, you can just get to the point. ”

"Well, okay," Xu Fuhang said, "then I won't turn around, my idea is that our saints are divided into three parts, one part stays in the solar system, one part continues to pursue the lower left, and the other part goes directly to their lair: the Tribulation Star!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, Dongfang hadn't said anything, and many people in the staff immediately became suspicious, and someone asked: "The Tribulation Star, 50 light years away from us, even if we don't consider acceleration and deceleration, with our speed, it will take 500 years to arrive!" How many resources does it take to spend 500 years? How many generations does humanity need to go through? ”

Xu Fuhang said: "500 years is indeed a very long period for us human beings, but we have now entered the era of star navigation, and under the time scale of the universe, 500 years is really a snap of a finger!" 500 years, what can be counted? As for the question of resources, here's how I understand it:

"The group of planes that go to the Raider does not need to carry a large number of industrial ships and resource ......"

"A voyage of 500 years, without resources. Oh my gosh, what do you think? "A lot of people are skeptical.

Happy National Day, happy holidays for book friends!!
