The last human in the universe

Chapter 51 Dystocia
There are two ways to defeat your opponent.First, make yourself stronger than your opponent.Second, make your opponent weaker than yourself.

Even if the deep space civilization has declined to the extreme at this moment, who can guarantee that there are no scientific and technological materials left in their databases from the past heyday?And relying on those scientific and technological materials, as long as a powerful weapon that transcends the times can be created, human civilization may never have any chance again.

Must, must, no matter what price is paid, they must be eliminated at this stage, if they cannot be eliminated, then weaken them and slow them down!

But just before the meeting was over, the reminder from Xiaoxi was sent to the Human Government Conference Room No. [-] again.

"Captain, I have received another signal from the direction of Cygnus. This time the signal is very clear and clear, and there is a 'documentation' about this message. I have completed the deciphering of it."

The so-called "description document" is actually an information statement similar to a sample, or it can be called a "dictionary".Its purpose is to provide enough samples for the recipient to decipher the language system.

People looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of surprise.

A line of text was projected in front of people.

"Hello, dear unknown civilization. We are the 'Deep Space Civilization' from the 'Seltoya' galaxy."

"Note: 'Seltoya' in their writing system probably means something like 'warm, comfortable, great'. At the same time, because we have named it 'Deep Space Civilization' For reasons of civilization, when translating the names of their civilizations, I did not use transliteration or metatranslation, but directly replaced them with 'deep space civilization'."

"Based on the consistent cosmic civilization code, peace can exist between civilizations with equal strength. Therefore, in order to ascertain your strength, we have made a little test, I hope you don't mind.

Now, you guys have proven your strength.

In order to value the common interests between us, I propose on behalf of our civilization that we can abandon disputes, cooperate with each other, and establish good diplomatic relations.If you agree, please reply us, and attach your "language dictionary" in accordance with the code of universal civilization, so as to facilitate further exchanges between us. "

A committee member slapped the table angrily.

"Despicable, shameless! They almost wiped us out, but now they only push them lightly above the so-called cosmic civilization code! If they are really sincere, why don't they compensate us?"

"They can't be trusted!"

Zhao Changxing looked at this line of words, thoughtful.

This information seems to contain some descriptions about the way of life in this universe that Zhao Changxing has never come into contact with before.

Although as early as the Earth era, people have made many speculations about the existence of alien civilizations, and believed that there is a high probability that there are intelligent life different from human beings in the universe, but the speculations are just speculations, and they have never been actually found.

If there are many civilizations in the depths of the universe, then how different civilizations coexist, human beings are completely in the dark.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Changxing believes that the principle of "peace can exist between civilizations of equal strength" has certain rationality.Judging from this, after the failure of the tentative attack, the deep space civilization proposed an agreement of peaceful coexistence, which is not without the possibility of sincerity.

Zhao Changxing smiled lightly and shook his head lightly.

"Xiaoxi, reply to them, we are very happy to coexist peacefully with them. If possible, we hope that the two sides can cooperate in technology, resources, industry, etc. We should all be mutually beneficial and win-win."

"Good captain."

"Leader, you..."

A committee member looked at Zhao Changxing with incredulous eyes.

"Okay. Next, let's continue to discuss the question of how to retaliate."

"Uh……"

For Zhao Changxing's rapid change between the two attitudes, people living in a relatively simple social environment are slightly unable to react.But after a while, they became more enlightened.

In the ensuing discussion, with Xiaoxi's assistance, people will share all the weapons they already have at the current stage, the weapons that can be manufactured but have not yet been manufactured at the current stage, or the weapons that can be manufactured in the future. Listed out one by one.

Interstellar missiles that can be loaded with nuclear bombs and conventional high-explosive ammunition can be propelled by chemical fuel propulsion or fusion plus ion propulsion. There are a large number of land-based or space-based electromagnetic guns, electromagnetic pulse bombs, laser weapons, etc.

It has to be said that in the original earth era, there were still many types of weapons developed by humans.

However, after checking one by one, people found that such a wide variety of weapons are somewhat weak against a target that is more than 6000 million kilometers away, and this target must have a considerable degree of planetary defense system.

Interstellar missiles—no matter what kind of bombs are loaded and what kind of propulsion method is used, there is a problem, that is, the delivery speed is too slow, the target is too large, and it is easy to be discovered and then intercepted and destroyed.Just like before on Sedna Star, the final interception was completed only by relying on some rather rudimentary planetary defense systems.

EMP bombs are the same.Laser weapons are not practical because the distance is too far.

The only thing that can complete the strike is an unguided weapon that relies on small size, low quality, high speed, and large quantity to complete the kill, such as an electromagnetic gun.

Millions of electromagnetic cannon projectiles with a mass of only 0.5 grams and traveling at a speed of several kilometers per second, even if the planetary defense system is a thousand times more perfect, it is impossible to intercept it.

From this point of view, it is very suitable for launching this revenge.But there is a very serious problem with this attack method, that is, the planet is too far away, and the electromagnetic guns that humans can manufacture at this moment simply do not have this accuracy, and they cannot be aimed precisely at all.

Even if the accuracy is sufficient and the target is accurately aimed, once the electromagnetic cannon projectile leaves the barrel and enters the complex cosmic environment, its trajectory will be affected by many factors, such as planetary gravity, interstellar dust, and cosmic radiation.And its orbit is uncontrolled.As a result, even if you aim, you may not be able to hit the target.

At the end of the day, even if it hits its target, who knows if it will hit an open field or a man-made structure?
Want a full-coverage strike that covers the entire surface of the planet?Then let's first increase the number of existing electromagnetic guns by [-] times, and increase the performance by [-] times.

To sum up, the electromagnetic gun weapon is also not good.

And... the front and middle stage guidance, for example, use a rocket to transport an electromagnetic gun to a place not far from the deep space star, and launch an attack there?
This still doesn't work.The target is too large and easily destroyed.

Or... flower bombs?The missile warhead is loaded with [-] projectiles or more, and it will be detonated before entering the defense system of the opponent's planet, and the projectiles will be sent out to attack the opponent?

It doesn't work either.One is that the attack efficiency is too low, and the other is still the problem, how do people control whether it hits an open space or a man-made structure?
What Zhao Changxing hopes to achieve is to directly destroy the enemy once and for all, or even slow down and delay the development progress of the opponent, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place.In this way, unless the electromagnetic gun can achieve the effect of washing the ground, the electromagnetic gun can only be ruled out.

On the whole, the only weapon that can achieve the goal is the hydrogen bomb.

At this moment, human civilization has not really produced a hydrogen bomb.But Xiaoxi's database has complete data, combined with the current industrial capabilities, although it is difficult to actually create a hydrogen ejection, it is not impossible.

The difficulty is, how to break through the defense system of the planet and deliver the hydrogen bomb there?
"The key point is speed. If the speed of the missile is fast enough, it can get rid of the detection of the deep-space radar. At worst, it can greatly increase the error of the deep-space radar, resulting in the failure of the interception."

Faced with this problem, military experts are speechless.

Like the high-power ion thrusters used by the Tinder spacecraft, people simply cannot manufacture them now.It's too technical.Low power ion thrusters have too little thrust to be used on missiles.

The only thing that can be used is still chemical fuel propulsion.Examples include methane and liquid oxygen.

But although the thrust of chemical fuel is large, the efficiency is too low.An interstellar missile whose fuel accounts for 70% of the overall mass may not even reach a speed of 20 kilometers per second, and even Sedna's planetary defense system cannot break through.

Under the combination of all kinds of contradictions, let the revenge action face the danger of dystocia.

"Or... at least use electromagnetic guns and explosive bombs first, and carry out a retaliatory action first, to boost morale."

"No." Zhao Changxing directly refused: "This will not achieve the goal of exterminating the opponent at all, and it will also expose our means of warfare. It will easily make Deep Space Star make targeted defensive arrangements, and it will be even more difficult to attack next time."

Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme and receive the greatest effect.Because there may only be one chance at this stage.

"At the current stage, let's launch some spy satellites first, and at least have a certain understanding of the enemy."

People looked at each other helplessly, and finally had to pass this resolution first.

At this moment, after experiencing this incident, all the loose atmosphere in the entire human society has disappeared.Among the major cities and bases, there was even less laughter and laughter.

For the first time, people realized how precious it is to live peacefully and develop themselves without worries.For the first time, I felt the pressure that seemed to be everywhere.

Originally, Zhao Changxing thought that the social production order had been suppressed to the limit, and that the production efficiency was unlikely to be improved.But now, various statistics tell him that the overall production efficiency of society has increased by as much as 16.3%, which is an unexpected gain.

　Continue to wish everyone a happy new year, and continue to ask for monthly tickets...
