Galaxy 14253.

More than 5,000 years have passed since the war between human civilization and intelligent civilization.

However, the two sides still fought hard.

It's not that human civilization is merciful, but the limitation of the speed of light bottleneck makes both sides waste most of their time on interstellar voyages.

Orion-Aquarius arm has a length of 3700~3900 light-years and a width of 300~500 light-years.

At this time, the fastest Yinglong-class fast battleship in human civilization barely reached 24.3% speed.

That is, it will take at least 15,000 years to get from one end of the Orion-Aquarius arm to the other.

It has only been more than 5,000 years since the two sides started a full-scale war, and in the course of the war, there is definitely no way for the space warship to move forward at full speed.

The current area of engagement between the two sides has not actually spread to the entire constellation Orion, the Aquarius arm, and only about one-fifth of the area has been affected.

However, the situation of the war is very unfavorable to the intelligent machine civilization, and the space fleet of human civilization is like pulling nails, cleaning up the planetary systems where the intelligent machine civilization is entrenched along the way.

This space war, which lasted for more than 5,000 years, destroyed countless space warships and space fortresses, and even caused 39 stars to be destroyed and turned into primordial nebulae.

Although the retreating intelligent and mechanical civilizations are not afraid of death and have been trying to steal the scientific and technological achievements of human civilization, the gap between them and human civilization is still a bit big.

And with the continuous collapse of stars in the Orion-Aquarius arm, some of the first-level civilizations hidden in the surrounding cantilever star fields have also noticed the existence of this cosmic war.

Including, the one-eyed civilization that has always been vigilant against human civilization, even if it is separated by a cantilever arm, they still discovered the war between human civilization and intelligent civilization.

In this regard, the one-eyed civilization did not arrogantly send an expeditionary force.

After all, the war between human beings and intelligent machines is only on a small arm, and the development of human civilization in other directions is very stable and very rapid.

Without absolute certainty, the one-eyed civilization will not choose to go on an expedition.

But at this point.

Orion - the other end of the Aquarius arm, that is, the side behind the intelligent civilization.

A gloomy giant gaseous planet encased in a layer of silver-gray metallic material.

This is the mother of the intelligent machine civilization, to be precise, this is the program boarding equipment of the mother master.

[Failed again? 】

The system dominated by the matrix has just received a message from 363 years ago.

It is also very helpless about this, after all, this is the normal state of cosmic communication without faster-than-light communication.

This is still in order to better manage the frontline battlefield, and move the Mother Juggernaut to an area close to the frontline, otherwise the communication delay will be even longer.

[The Anmenke system has been captured by the enemy, Project 305 has failed, and the plan must be reformulated......]

[However...... Can this civilization avoid the blow of the super particle cannon in advance? What exactly is the technology used in this? 】

The matrix-dominated computing unit is running at full capacity, analyzing every possibility.

[Faster-than-light communication technology? Or faster-than-light detection technology? 】

Although the development of intelligent machine civilization science and technology has stagnated for a long time, and the progress of various scientific research projects is very slow, they have swallowed up the existence of dozens of first-level civilizations after all, and with the accumulation of long years, they still have some understanding of faster-than-light communication and faster-than-light detection.

It's just that now the Matrix Juggernaut also feels helpless.

At the same time, it also makes the Mother Dominant more eager to obtain the technology of human civilization.

However, it has not yet formulated a certain plan, and the more than 300 previous plans have not played any role on the side of human civilization.

For example, about 2,739 Earth years ago, the Mother Juggernaut developed a "defection plan", planning to have a part of the planetary system pretend to surrender to human civilization, and then take the opportunity to obtain the other party's technology.

As a result, human civilization did not come into contact with the idea of intelligent machine civilization at all, and directly sent the space fleet to completely clean up those intelligent machine warships and planetary systems that pretended to surrender.

This leaves the Mother Dominant without a solution.

After all, human civilization knows too much about intelligent civilizations, they are just super-individual creatures, and there is no possibility of surrendering to other civilizations.

In the past few thousand years, the intelligent civilization has come up with a large number of conspiracies and tricks, but none of them have succeeded.

In fact, this is not to blame the intelligent civilization, the main reason is that human civilization knows them too well, and science and technology have obvious advantages.

At this time, human civilization is on the attacking side, and no matter how small actions the intelligent civilization makes, human civilization adheres to a strategic idea - to harden the village and fight a dumb war.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is an upright hard fight.

What spans thousands of light years and travels long distances into the enemy's hinterland; There is no need to lure the enemy deep, encircle the point to send reinforcements, etc.

The tactics of playing with soldiers and dangerous moves are the weak trying to achieve the goal of defeating the strong with the weak through stratagem.

And the strong and powerful, when there is an absolute victory, do not make their own clever military moves, but through rigid tactics, and the enemy fights, this is the real royal road.

This is the case with human civilization now.

The reason why the various traps and plans designed by the intelligent civilization are useless is because human civilization does not seek a quick solution at all, but eats away little by little, and does not give the other party any chance.

In the face of such disgusting tactics of human civilization, the intelligent machine civilization is also helpless, and can only watch its territory being swallowed up little by little.

After discovering that human civilization may possess faster-than-light communication technology or faster-than-light detection technology, it has become more and more difficult to plan how to steal human technology.

But let it give up, but there is no such possibility.

After all, the Matrix Juggernaut is very aware of the shortcomings of the intelligent machine civilization, and even if it adopts the exhaustive method, it has no way to improve the speed of technological development.

Because the materials science of the intelligent machine civilization is still at the atomic-molecular level, the periodic table has a limit, and even if all the compounds are studied, many materials cannot be developed.

For example, magnetic monopole crystals, which are composed of a combination of organic and inorganic matter, require a combination of thousands of atoms of more than a dozen elements, and then go through a special process.

By luck, when will it be possible, I guess God really knows.

Magnetic monopole crystals may also be obtained by chance, in an infinite number of exhaustive ways.

It is basically impossible to synthesize neutron materials, a smart machine civilization that does not even have the principles and conditions for synthesis.

This is also after a certain height of the development of civilization, if there is no innovation in various theories, it is useless to rely on exhaustive methods.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between atomic-molecular and neutron-level materials.

Just as the Mother Dominator was meditating, an alarm message interrupted its musings.
