Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 484 Protracted
This time, mankind failed to destroy the opponent's second planetary base in one go, but it could not be considered a complete failure. At least it dealt a heavy blow to its defense power.

On the way back, new development plans were also discussed and finalized.

The first is the four battleships Donghai, Xihai, Nanhai, and Beihai that originally belonged to the First Fleet. In addition to the strong artificial intelligence on Nanhai that continues to be responsible for the development and construction of the Thirteenth Planet, the other three ships have also been granted permission. , began resource exploration and development operations on other planets.

After so many years, the low-Earth orbit of the twelfth planet, which was previously bombarded by human orbit, is still filled with dust clouds, but the dust has settled inside the planet. The environment is a bit harsh, but it can still be mined reluctantly, so it was selected as the first. a resource extraction site.

Then there is the sixth planetary base of the original Red Flame Civilization in the ninth orbit. When the facilities on it were bombed and destroyed before, the distribution of minerals on this planet had been discovered by humans, so it became the second resource development site.

The remaining two are located on the two satellites of the giant gas planet of the seventh planet. This planet is currently located on the left hand side of the thirteenth human planet. As time goes by, it will slowly turn to the direction of human beings. For fifty years the geography was good.

The victories in the previous battles allowed humans to clear away the enemy ships near these planets, giving these planets a relatively safe environment. Of course, there still needs to be a fleet patrolling, and always pay attention to the movements of the opponent's fleet.

After this battle, the first human fleet returned to the thirteenth planet correction, so the fleet that took over the sortie mission naturally became the second fleet.

Just like the human side, the Red Flame Civilization also began repair and maintenance work on the battleship after returning to its second planetary base. In addition, it is vigorously producing new warships.

Human beings are aware of what the Red Flame Civilization is doing, but at this time, they are also powerless and unable to send a large fleet to attack.

Time passes year after year in this state.

Therefore, the war once again entered a stage where small-scale battleship formations competed with each other and detection spacecraft fought with each other. At this stage, humans are basically at a disadvantage because strong artificial intelligence cannot participate.

It's just that humans don't care too much, because what humans want to do now is to vigorously expand resource extraction areas, and then surpass the Red Flame Civilization in warship production speed.

Therefore, humans' actions were naturally not concealed from the detection of the Red Flame Civilization. For this reason, in the following time, they simply harassed and attacked the new resource mining areas of humans again and again.

After fighting for so many years, although both sides do not fully understand each other's movements, they can still be considered to have seen each other's movements.

The outline of this star galaxy has gradually changed into a situation where humans are on the periphery and the Red Flame civilization is on the inner periphery. Each side is trying to undermine the other while developing themselves.

It was also at this stage that humans discovered that there seemed to be a lot of individual lives on one side of the interstellar trading market, or that the reproductive capacity was really strong. When they produced new warships, they could always fill up the personnel as soon as possible and then form combat effectiveness.

At the same time, an interesting phenomenon was also discovered, that is, their rapid collection of resources and rapid production of warships seemed to only occur in the third, fourth, and fifth planetary bases. Yes, after so many years, Chi Yan Civilization has also given these three bases the ability to build ships.

As for this phenomenon, human experts believe that the interstellar trading market should also have strong artificial intelligence, but it seems that it can only be used in production and manufacturing.

Not to mention, it was really guessed by humans.

Similarly, almost at the same time that humans obtained such information by consuming various detection spacecraft, Chiyan Civilization was horrified to discover that humans' resource extraction efficiency and battleship production efficiency seemed to be even stronger than their own. Especially after taking into account the three new development bases, the efficiency of human resource acquisition has become higher, which has resulted in an increase in warship production capacity.

"Great Commander, the situation is not optimistic! Now the earth's civilization has successfully expanded its resource sources. Their shipyards are no longer limited by the amount of resources. At the same time, they have also built many new space shipyards in the orbits of those planetary bases.
According to the data returned by the probe, eight years ago, they could only produce about 20 warships per year, but now this number may quadruple. "

At this moment, such a dialogue is going on within Chiyan Civilization.

"You mean, the battleship production capacity of Earth's civilization has surpassed ours? When did it happen? This news has been confirmed?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, we have paid millions of exploration spacecraft to conduct close-range detection. These data are the results of comprehensive analysis by experts based on the detection situation, and there will be no mistakes."

"That would be troublesome. I thought I could eliminate them through the advantage of the number of battleships. I didn't expect that this earth's civilization actually has so many strong artificial intelligences for production. It seems that the previous speculation is still a bit wrong. The earth's civilization not only has strong manufacturing Artificial intelligence technology can also produce strong artificial intelligence in the absence of the main civilization.”

"Well, Grand Commander, the science officials have different opinions on this. They believe that strong artificial intelligence manufacturing technology is too complicated. Even if the earth's civilization has this technology, they will not be able to separate from the main civilization for a short time. So many strong artificial intelligences were produced internally. Based on this, they concluded that the newly expanded resource development areas of the current earth civilization are actually using the strong artificial intelligence they originally brought out, and there is a 90% chance that they were used by them at that time. Strong artificial intelligence on the battlefield, they use technology that we don’t know about to modify those artificial intelligences and make them suitable for production.”

"Is there such a technology?"

"Some leaders and our chief scientific officer have confirmed with our strong artificial intelligence that this technology can be realized in some computer-savvy civilizations."

"That would be difficult. Who would have thought that such a civilization good at war would exist in such a remote star field? It would be great if we knew where the mother planet of this earth civilization is!"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. The latest news is that our great scientists and engineers have already made some progress in the miniaturization technology of magnetic thrust. In at most fifty years, we will be able to have miniaturized magnetic thrust thrusters. By then we will Then we can create a specially designed carrier to attack the mothership! By then, with our advantages in nanotechnology, it will not be difficult to destroy their flagship."

"Mr. Administrative Officer, you have done a good job. Victory must belong to us, and glory will always belong to our Red Flame civilization. Fifty years from now, we will give this earth civilization a big surprise."
