Chapter 365: Battleship Formation

For the civilization of the earth, although the manufacture of such a professional high-end interstellar passenger spaceship seems a bit extravagant in terms of cost and manufacturing difficulty, it can still be built after gritting its teeth, working hard, and consuming more labor.

Although the manufacturing cycle of this kind of spaceship is twice as long as that of ordinary immigrant spaceships, it takes ten years to build one, and there are still a lot of particularities in the construction technology, and many adjustments and modifications need to be made in the production process and manufacturing equipment, but since the earth civilization needs it, it must be built anyway.

It's just a matter of building less and slower, accumulating slowly, and eventually being able to form a scale.

Perhaps at the beginning, when there was only one such passenger spaceship, it would be a great thing to think of it as a bus, and it would be enough to shuttle back and forth between many immigrant planets from station to station, and then place one on each immigrant planet after the number of passenger ships in the future is raised, forming a fixed interstellar flight.

In this way, it will undoubtedly greatly accelerate the flow of people and exchanges between the entire earth civilization and planets, integrate the human resources of the earth civilization to the greatest extent, and strengthen the centripetal force and cohesion of civilization.

However, this is the earth civilization, with huge scientific and technological reserves, the earth civilization can make any kind of super scientific and technological products it needs at any time according to its own needs, without the slightest obstacle in the middle.

For example, there are many civilizations in the meteorite star sea, it can be said that except for the three hegemon-level civilization owners' own faster-than-light spaceship manufacturing system, which can build and design different types of faster-than-light spaceships according to the needs of their own civilizations to meet the development needs of their own civilizations, other civilizations, no matter how large the scale, how vast the territory, and how large the population, do not have this kind of confidence.

For the many civilizations there, no matter how strong their demand is, and if they want to obtain similar high-end ship models, there is no way to obtain them.

Not to mention any faster-than-light battleships and faster-than-light passenger spaceships, even slightly larger faster-than-light immigration spaceships are controlled strategic properties for many civilizations, and the difficulty of obtaining them is overwhelming.

In the meteorite star sea, the faster-than-light spaceships that can be obtained by ordinary civilizations are all inferior parallel products after the castration of the three hegemon-level civilizations, and the performance in all aspects has been quite severely restricted, and the performance has been emasculated quite seriously.

Although the three hegemon-level civilizations are in competition with each other, but years of confrontation have already made these three hegemon-level civilizations have an invisible tacit understanding, although within these three civilizations, their respective faster-than-light spacecraft manufacturing technology has different strengths and weaknesses and advantages and disadvantages, but the standard faster-than-light spacecraft they sell to the outside world has almost the same technical performance standards.

The maximum speed of light cruising speed, the cruising flight time of about a year, the passenger carrying capacity of one million people, and the maximum flight radius of 20 light years, this kind of performance is weakened by either the interstellar immigration spacecraft at a point and a half, or the specific performance indicators of the standard spacecraft maintained by the three major civilizations.

Even if an interstellar civilization has more market demand and diversified product needs, for a hegemon-level civilization, a standard spaceship is enough for them to extract oil and water, and more varieties of faster-than-light spaceship models do not need to be exported at all.

With that kind of effort, the hegemon-level civilization is more willing to use it to develop its own civilization power, sharpen its own faster-than-light spaceship production system, design and manufacture a spaceship with better performance for itself, and achieve more obvious advantages and victories in the competition between the overlord-level civilizations.

For the situation of the three hegemon-level civilizations in the meteorite star sea to maintain the deliberate suppression of the lower civilization system, the earth civilization did not understand it at the beginning.

However, in these years, with the construction of faster-than-light spaceships, the comprehensive civilization strength of the earth's civilization has been more and more obvious, especially after the earth's civilization has as many as dozens of faster-than-light immigration spaceships, the civilization tentacles of the earth's civilization have gradually begun to extend to the aspect of the meteorite star sea, and began to spread to the outer civilization circle of the meteorite star sea, carrying out some basic information collection actions.

For the purpose of finding out the bottom before attacking the meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle, as early as a few decades ago, using some of the surplus productivity of the Earth Civilization System, the Earth Civilization had already built a small batch of small groups of special operations spacecraft formations with a total of only three ships while building large faster-than-light immigration spaceships.

This miniaturized special operations fleet formation, compared with the conventional type of interstellar migration spacecraft, has shrunk to a great extent in size, the body length of each warship is almost only about 100 meters, and the tonnage is only of the order of several hundred thousand tons. The core equipment such as the spaceship subsystem is slightly higher than the performance of conventional spaceships, so in general, as a spaceship formation with abnormal configuration, their performance has been greatly enhanced compared with conventional spacecraft.

More importantly, each member of this warship formation has a special special combat system tailored for it, one of which has the ability to carry out long-range strikes at the speed of light, the other spacecraft has the ability to detect information at far beyond the speed of light of conventional spacecraft, and one spaceship is a specially developed logistics support ship with logistics support and maintenance capabilities.

With these three ships with different functions and mutual protection, even after Starfleet, which is fully equipped with powerful combat and survival capabilities in the meteorite star sea civilization circle, it is not afraid of being surrounded by a beating. Therefore, the earth civilization sent this warship formation to consciously infiltrate in the direction of the meteorite star sea, and got in touch with several marginal interstellar civilizations in the meteorite star sea, and obtained a lot of knowledge of the civilization pattern that belongs to basic common sense.

For the civilization circle of the Meteorite Star Sea, especially for those interstellar civilizations at the bottom, the civilization pattern of the Meteorite Star Sea is too complicated, the strong are endless, the weak can only live in a corner of the world, and the world they can understand is also extremely limited.

And for those interstellar civilizations that sit on the ground, there are simply too many civilizations that are too powerful to provoke, and there are countless of them, and outsiders of all kinds and purposes are by no means uncommon.

Therefore, as soon as the Earth civilization came into contact with these star civilizations with a relatively mild attitude, it immediately received an extremely friendly and warm reception.

For those civilizations, the earth civilization with a professional and powerful warship formation is simply too powerful, these few weak civilizations with only a few standard-shaped spaceships, if they really want to fight, they can only kneel, and it is possible to be accidentally slaughtered by the stars, as soon as they come into contact with the various requirements of the earth civilization to understand the interstellar situation, they immediately told the earth civilization everything they want to know.

And throughout the whole process of contact, these civilizations are trying in every possible way to reach a certain diplomatic relationship and trade relations with the civilization of the earth, even if they pay more costs.

It's really that the cost of survival in the meteorite star sea is too high, the strong emerge in endlessly, and if the weak civilization doesn't have a few backers or something, it may suffer a catastrophe if it's not careful.

After the battleship formation of the earth verbally promised to maintain a certain contact with them, and a certain trade cooperation relationship may be formed in the future, these interstellar civilizations immediately couldn't help but be complacent, and they didn't even dare to ask about the origin of the earth's civilization, they didn't even know.

For them, it is already precious to be able to connect with such a powerful civilization, and it would be great if one day they could obtain something through trade, and they would never dare to inquire more about the rest: who knows what this murderous formation of faster-than-light warships is for, and what is the purpose? If they accidentally know more about something, wouldn't it be miserable to be killed?

For the weak civilization struggling at the bottom of the meteorite star sea, this level of knowledge and interest is simply a necessary skill for survival, and everyone knows that there is no good end for those who talk a lot.

What's more critical is that even if they want to inform, as the lowest level of parallel interstellar civilizations other than indigenous civilizations, they don't even have a backer, they don't know which big guy to find to inform, and they don't know how to die if they want to inform, so each civilization spontaneously pursues the action policy of more than less, so that the activities of the earth civilization in the meteorite star sea have not aroused the vigilance and awareness of any countries in the region.

In fact, the earth civilization was fully prepared in advance, and it was also fully prepared for intelligence leaks and so on, who knew that in the end, all the work was useless, and no one expected that the environment in the meteorite star sea would be so closed and closed in advance.

Of course, Sima Mulong has a considerable understanding of the civilization pattern in the meteorite star sea, and even in several civilizations in the meteorite star sea, he has already laid a secret hand in advance.

However, these secret hands will only be activated when they really start to set foot in the meteorite star sea in the future. Therefore, now that a fleet is formed to reconnoiter the Meteorite Star Sea, as a normal step for the Earth civilization to attack the Meteorite Star Sea, Sima Mulong naturally has no reason to interfere.

After analyzing and studying this knowledge, the earth civilization has some preliminary understanding of the pattern of the meteorite star sea civilization circle.

According to the data remains of "ancient civilizations", this civilization pattern of meteorite star sea is a very common phenomenon in the era of interstellar civilization in the universe.

It is also easy to understand the conservative behavior of the three hegemon-level civilizations, because the reason why they maintain suppression of their subordinates, stingy exports, and do not actively use the human and intellectual resources of the surrounding civilizations is to a large extent to maintain their respective civilizational and technological superiority.

For example, the division of industrial technology among the planets within the earth's civilization is only a code of conduct within the civilization system for the three hegemon-level civilizations of the meteorite star sea, and for the members of the internal civilization, such a thing is acceptable, but it is completely unacceptable for them to use the intelligence and population resources of the external civilization to improve the level of their own civilization's technological system.

Not only does it not accept the systematic division of labor of external civilizations, but it also does its best to draw blood from the surrounding civilizations, which is also due to the self-civilization pattern of the three hegemon-level civilizations.

For these civilization overlords, the frontier of their interests is completely drawn by the speed of their spaceship.

The speed of the spaceship restricts the scale of the civilization, and once it grows and expands in disorder, the entire civilization may fall into decline due to political division and hostility.

This kind of lesson is a bloody lesson summed up from countless experiences, and it is a rule that every hegemon-level civilization unanimously abides by.

For these civilizations, their territory is incomparably vast, their populations are all in trillions, and the longevity of their history is often recorded in tens of thousands of years, and the shortest history of the three hegemonic civilizations also has a civilization life span of nearly one million years.

Therefore, each overlord civilization is neither short of people nor lack of time, and their civilization expansion is only limited by the speed of their spaceship, and only by their industrial manufacturing level.

In this way, these civilizations naturally lose interest in the industrial division of labor abroad. If they needed to, they could expand their numbers internally, so why share their valuable knowledge and skills with other civilizations?

For the hegemon-level civilization, even if they don't take the initiative to share the scientific and technological system with the outside world, there are countless alien civilizations who are salivating over their spaceship manufacturing knowledge, which naturally intensifies their vigilance and makes them naturally accustomed to the policy of suppressing the lower-level civilization.

Of course, the reason why this is the case is essentially because even for the hegemon-level civilization, it is difficult to obtain the progress of civilization and technology, and once the foreign race has insight into their scientific and technological system, it will cause crises and hidden dangers to their civilization system to a large extent. In order to maintain the advanced nature of its civilization, it has become an incomparably natural choice to engage in technological blockade and restrict sales and prohibit sales.
