Chapter 688: Existential Crisis
But in the face of this seemingly peaceful situation, it is impossible for the Caro civilization to retreat with peace of mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because a moment of calm doesn't mean enough safety.
The speed of the Earth's civilization fleet is more than ten times the speed of the Caro civilization fleet, and even if the ships of the Caro civilization set off for ten or eight years first, at the pitiful speed of a large-scale fleet march, it is nothing more than sailing a distance of sixty or seventy light years.
For the faster-than-light fleet of the Earth civilization, this distance is only a distance that can be caught up in a year, and there is no safety at all.
There is a buffer period of ten or eight years, and the earth civilization does not know how far it has developed in this star field, at least at that time, even if the earth civilization is casually partnered and sends some small-scale detachments to deal with the Carlo civilization, it is enough for the Caro civilization to go around without eating.
Although it stands to reason that the earth civilization wants to occupy the territory of the Caro civilization, the Caro civilization honestly withdraws by itself, and is willing to be a wandering civilization, which reduces a lot of trouble for the earth civilization.
After all, in terms of strength, the earth civilization has far surpassed the Carlo civilization, and the various resources possessed by the Carlo civilization are not attractive to the earth civilization.
Although there are many faster-than-light spaceships in the Caro civilization, in the eyes of ordinary civilizations, if they can capture the next part, this is undoubtedly a great wealth, enough for ordinary interstellar civilizations to benefit immensely for many years, but the earth's civilization itself has a sound production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships, and the faster-than-light ships produced by the earth's civilization are truly well-known and thunderous in the eyes of many powerful local civilizations in the meteorite star sea, which are much better than the spaceships of the three hegemon-level civilizations.
The faster-than-light spaceship of the earth's civilization is known for its excellent performance, extremely high level of intelligence, and relatively low price, and I don't know how many native civilizations are coveted.
This level of high-quality faster-than-light spaceships, the earth civilization is open to the full supply within the framework system of the Earth Alliance, but imagine where the earth civilization itself will lack faster-than-light spaceships, and the faster-than-light spaceships built by people themselves will not be used up, and naturally they will not covet these second-hand goods of the Carlo civilization.
There is no reason for the Earth civilization to fight to the end with the Carlo civilization in order to capture this bit of broken old spaceship of the Carlo civilization.
As for the secret manufacturing technology of the faster-than-light spaceship that the Carlo civilization has hidden tightly, for fear that it will leak the slightest bit of content, it is even more funny for the earth civilization, and no one will think that the earth civilization will actually covet this bit of technical secrets of the Carlo civilization.
After all, even the nearly 100 times light-speed spaceships that can jump in time and space have been successfully manufactured in batches, and they are sitting on a systematic complete set of spaceship manufacturing technology from low-end to high-end.
The core manufacturing technology possessed by the Caro civilization is, in the final analysis, just the core key technology for the manufacture of the hull of the faster-than-light spaceship, and in the eyes of the earth civilization, it is probably no different from the five cents in a beggar's bowl.
I'm afraid that even if the Carlo civilization itself opens up the technical database for the earth civilization to look at casually, the earth civilization will be too low-end and not have the slightest interest.
In addition to these two core resources, the only reason why the Earth civilization may be unwilling to let go of the fleet of the Caro civilization may be the core human resources that the Caro civilization withdrew.
After all, since the development of the earth's civilization, the native civilizations of the Meteorite Star Sea have already had a certain understanding of the earth's civilization. Everyone is well aware that the attitude of the Earth civilization towards the members of the subordinate alliance is completely different from that of the overlord of the native civilization.
The local civilization overlords are all trying to squeeze and weaken the power of their subordinate civilizations as much as possible, and the technical things are like iron roosters, trying to make every drop of water leak as much as possible, lest the subordinate civilizations will threaten the safety of their superiors.
But the earth civilization is relatively much better, their attitude towards subordinate civilizations is very different, and they seem to be more inclined to support some valuable subordinate civilizations to grow up, so the earth civilization does not hesitate to establish the Earth Alliance, clear the barriers to communication within the alliance, encourage the development of industry, encourage the subordinate civilization to grow and grow within reasonable rules, and even the earth civilization also adds fuel to the fire and the formation of commercial and trade ties between the subordinate civilizations, and the diffusion of some basic industries to the subordinate civilizations.
In the end, the earth's civilization has established an alliance of civilizations that is developing in the direction of integration at the industrial, economic and trade, political, and military levels. As the leader of the alliance, the earth civilization has played a role in integrating the forces of subordinate civilizations at the level of rules, so that its comprehensive strength has reached the effect of doubling its own strength.
From this point of view, perhaps the earth civilization really has a considerable part of the importance of subordinate civilizations, and the earth civilization invades the Carlo civilization star field, and what it wants may not only be the territory of the Carlo civilization, but also the population and civilization of the Carlo civilization!
Maybe the Earth civilization still wants to list the Caro civilization as a subordinate civilization after winning the battle, and then support its development.
Although this situation seems strange, since the earth civilization has the courage and confidence to form a civilization alliance, and has also accepted many subordinate civilizations that were originally hostile to it, it is naturally not strange to add another Arro civilization now.
To put it mildly, if the new Carlo civilization really joins the alliance of earth civilizations, it may be as obedient as a puppy, and it won't even dare to blow it up. If the earth civilization dares to accept this kind of former enemy, it will definitely do enough in terms of rules, military, political structure and other aspects, and it is not afraid that the Carlo civilization will turn against the sky.
Just like after World War II, how treacherous the little devil is, after being put on a dog leash around his neck by his moldy father, it is not as if he is obedient or something, so that he will never dare to pout his ass when he opens his thighs, and he will be tame as much as he wants. In the face of the Earth civilization that is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than itself, it naturally does not dare to explode.
If the earth civilization can clean him up once, it is not afraid to clean him up a second time.
However, if the earth civilization really has this kind of calculation, then maybe the earth civilization will really have some thoughts about the retreating fleet of the Carlo civilization.
After all, if the Carlo civilization fleet is really withdrawn, it will be equivalent to sucking away the skeletal backbone of this civilization, not only the original political institutions are completely scattered, there is a lack of transportation between planets, but also some core populations have also been sucked away, and the earth civilization has taken over such a half-crippled civilization, and the invisible loss is naturally quite small.
However, if the Earth Civilization really wants to absorb the Carrow Civilization into the Alliance, the withdrawal of the Carrow Civilization Fleet will be a good thing for the Earth Civilization to a certain extent.
After all, although the Carrow civilization has withdrawn this part of the core population, it has left a blank sheet of paper for the earth civilization, which has erased the original upper-level political institutions of the Carrow civilization and wiped out those elites.
As for the ships, technology, and elite population that the Carlo civilization withdrew, it was nothing at all at the level of the entire civilization.
After the Karo civilization withdrew its fleet, the remaining civilization entities lacked the vast majority of spaceships as communication tools, which would only be a good thing for the Earth civilization, which could make it easier and more convenient to reintegrate the Caro civilization, and then promote a ruling class and civilized government in the Karo civilization that were controlled by the Earth civilization in all aspects and were friendly to the Earth civilization.
As for the technical level, the Carlo civilization that has been fused by the Earth Alliance will not go too far back, at most it will only lose its original faster-than-light spaceship production technology, after all, the original technologies of the Carlo civilization have a lot of backups within the civilization territory, and it is naturally easy for future civilizations to reintegrate and restore most of the original technologies except spaceship technology.
This is not a bad thing for the Earth civilization, after all, there is no need for another civilization within the Earth Alliance that has the ability to produce faster-than-light spaceships to compete with the Earth civilization for business, even if it is a spaceship shell.
Finally, at the population level, it seems that hundreds of millions of ships have evacuated a lot of people, and they are all elites, but at the level of the entire civilization, this bit of population is drizzling, less than one-ten-thousandth of the total population of the Caro civilization, and it can be said that it will not have an impact on the future development of the Caro civilization at all.
Although most of the evacuees are so-called elites, in fact, from the perspective of the entire civilization, these people are not irreplaceable, and they will have little impact on the future development of the Carlo civilization, and will not affect its development effect after joining the Earth Alliance.
If the earth civilization is dissatisfied with the meat on the plate of the Karo civilization's evacuation fleet and wants to fly away, the evacuated Karo civilization fleet is actually very willing to negotiate with the earth civilization, as long as the earth civilization is willing to let them live, they can have reasonable negotiations with the earth civilization for this reason, and clear many obstacles for the earth civilization to integrate the population and civilization of this star field.
I believe that if there is cooperation in this regard, the earth civilization will definitely not have to evacuate the Karo civilization and kill all the fleets.
It can be said that as long as a compromise is formed. From all aspects and from all angles, the earth civilization should have no reason to covet the withdrawal of the Carlo civilization from the fleet, and it should not be determined to snipe at the withdrawal of the wandering fleet of the Carlo civilization.
After all, to put it mildly, the earth civilization is an intruder after all in this star field, and it is nothing more than the earth civilization relying on its own strong strength, with the help of technical power to open up the passage to the star field of the Carlo civilization, and then packed up the Carlo civilization with three fists and two feet, which scared the Carlo civilization and wanted to quickly pack up the package and escape.
Although this matter is according to the civilization law of the meteorite star sea, the earth civilization has not done anything wrong, and the interstellar civilization is originally a naked rule of the law of the jungle, I am strong, I am justified, I bully you, then you deserve it, who made you not strong enough? Not to mention bullying you, I just destroyed you, that is also my right.
However, the truth is like this, but if it is really ruthless and even the evacuation fleet is destroyed, it will not be beneficial to the future development of the earth's civilization.
Other civilizations look at it, oh, wherever the earth civilization goes, they are ruthless, those elites at the top are not allowed to escape from the earth civilization, this method is too domineering, if other civilizations encounter the invasion of the earth civilization, I am afraid they will not dare to have any luck mentality, and they will have to be tough with the earth civilization to the end.
If the earth civilization wants to expand its territory in the future, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult, and the earth civilization will not be so irrational.
After all, looking at the current development speed of the earth civilization, I am afraid that the future expansion of the earth civilization is absolutely indispensable, if it really goes all the way, the consumption in all aspects will undoubtedly be an astonishing number, and if this development continues, the earth civilization will sooner or later become the public enemy in the meteorite star sea, then the road of the earth civilization will be difficult to walk.
However, this reason alone is obviously not enough to reassure the Carlo civilization.
No matter what the Earth Civilization thinks, but the current reality is that the Earth Civilization only needs to be willing, and they have enough ability to cause huge trouble to the Caro Civilization, and even once the Earth Civilization is determined to hunt down the Caro Civilization, then the Caro Civilization may have no room for resistance.
Not to mention that once the earth civilization is activated, the Carlo civilization will definitely fall into the worst situation of complete extinction of the civilization, but the reality is that as long as the earth civilization is willing, it is undoubtedly easy to make the Carlo civilization fleet pay an extremely heavy price.
The Caro civilization wants to deal with the threat of the earth's civilization, but the means are extremely scarce.
Its own strength is limited, and it can't stop the soldiers of the earth's civilization at all, and if it can stop it, it won't want to escape like now, and if it packs up its baggage, it wants to get out of the way as soon as possible.
The problem is that neither can the allies, because if a big war goes on, everyone will make a lot of money, and the combat strength will be greatly lost. It can be said that they can't be counted on in a short period of time, and if they look at it for a long time, they are probably all in danger, and they are all busy dealing with the threat of the earth's civilization, and it is difficult to say whether they can protect themselves, and they still can't be counted on.
