Mecha and Knife

When Ji Xinghe asked the question that should be asked to Aida Kang in a meeting of high-level military generals, there was no longer any dispute over Aida Kang's right to dispose of it.

It is said to be a meeting of high-level military generals, but how could it be just the attitude of the military?

Chen Xun said long ago: Our superiors are not just soldiers.

They are professionals in marching and fighting, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without the support of federal resources, let alone a general like Tu Yuan, even Li Anbang, who is known as the marshal, cannot fight any war.

A large part of the resources that the Federation can use in this war is in the hands of the organization at the top of the tower.

The most direct evidence is that Ivanovic became the commander-in-chief.

So, this is an exchange of interests.

Ji Xinghe and Li Yuanba got the right to dispose of Adacon, and the tower top organization avoided the exposure of their transactions with the empire. The federation would not fall into direct civil strife because of this. become.

However, the main content of this meeting, and many subsequent meetings, is not Aida Kang's right to dispose.

"In the interstellar era, what is the war between different civilizations like?"

Ivanovic raised such a question at a meeting of high-level military generals.

Yang Antai put forward his idea: "Concrete situation, specific analysis."

So the various generals began to conduct specific analysis based on the specific situation.

In this regard, neither Ji Xinghe nor Li Yuanba had any right to speak, and they began to listen carefully.

"We are not in the real interstellar era now, nor is the empire. It is only because the empire has mastered the leap gate technology that it can span distance units calculated in light years. In essence, the empire is just a planet-level intelligent civilization just like us. .”

After a general from Yingzhou proposed the idea of ​​a planetary-level intelligent civilization, he made a supplement.

"There are many ways to determine the level of different intelligent civilizations, but I prefer to judge the level of civilization development from the celestial bodies or celestial body systems that intelligent civilizations must attach to in order to exist and develop.

Our Federation, at this stage, needs to be attached to the planet of the blue star to be able to exist and continue to develop. If the blue star is destroyed, then we will also enter extinction. Similarly, based on our known information, the empire must also be attached to the planet Empire Star in order to exist and develop.

Therefore, we and the empire are both planet-level intelligent civilizations.

A higher level of intelligent civilization is a star-level civilization, or a star system-level civilization. Even if the planet that gave birth to this intelligent civilization is destroyed, as long as the star in the star system where the planet is located does not die naturally or be destroyed, it can continue to use the energy provided by the star, continue the group and continue to develop. "

On this point, people agree.

In almost all star systems, stars are the most important celestial bodies.

Take the solar system where the Federation is located as an example. The sun accounts for 99% of the mass of the entire solar system, and the energy it contains is endless. All life on the blue star can be said to be born and develop because of the energy of the sun.

The lifespan of the sun is also calculated in units of billions of years. Compared with the time for an intelligent civilization to exist and the time for technology to develop and leave the solar system, it is an extremely long time scale.

Without the blue star, as long as human beings can build real planet-like spaceships, space fortresses, artificial planets and other attachments, they can continue to use the energy provided by the sun to continue and continue to develop technology.

The current federation is clearly still a long way from this goal.

"Above the star-level civilization is the river-level civilization. At this level, the existence of the star system is no longer important, because they can easily find and migrate in the galaxy group similar to our Milky Way. In a new star system, continue to use the energy of stars to continue and develop.

Or, there is no need for the energy of stars at all, similar to the nuclear fusion technology we have mastered, they have more powerful energy technology, which can produce energy not weaker than that provided by stars. In a galaxy group, use spaceship or warp-like technology to roam freely. "

A higher level of intelligent civilization exists in theory, and the Milky Way is just an ordinary group of galaxies in the universe. The number of similar galaxy groups in the universe can be expressed by the word "countless" for human beings. describe.

But General Yingzhou didn't say anything, because it wasn't necessary.

If human beings really need to face intelligent civilizations that can span galaxy groups, it will be no different from fish on a chopping board.

A Xiongzhou general continued to speak.

"I also tend to divide this kind of intelligent civilization level. For the intelligent civilizations of the planetary system, it is like our federation and empire. The form of war after the encounter, as far as the current situation is concerned, still has to be attached to a certain planet. , or certain planets to carry out.

Because planetary-level intelligent civilizations do not have the ability to manufacture a large number of space battleships. The level of scientific and technological development, the resources at hand, the time of development, etc., are all factors that limit wars from interstellar to planetary.

However, the intelligent civilization mentioned by Adakon is obviously not a planetary intelligent civilization. Regardless of whether they are star-level intelligent civilizations or river system-level intelligent civilizations, in theory, they all have the ability to manufacture space battleships in large quantities. "

This analysis result is nothing new to the high-level federal generals who participated in this meeting.

Before Adakon mentioned the advanced intelligent civilization, before the Federation actually landed on the alien star, the predecessors had already foreseen this possibility, let alone now.

According to Yang Antai's thinking, this is the specific situation that the Federation needs to face.

"So, our war with them will definitely not be like a war between us and the empire. Neither the Alien Star nor the Azure Star will become the main battlefield. There is only one real main battlefield, interstellar."

Yang Antai expressed the concerns of the generals and explained the disadvantages of the Federation.

"When the space fleet of this intelligent civilization appears in our solar system, our existing space fleet will be disintegrated at the moment of encounter. The Nantianmen space defense system we built on the alien star, and the Azure Star's Lingshan defense system can't play its due role.

Between the stars, we can't stop them. And when they destroy our space defense system, we will completely lose air supremacy just like the imperial orangutans on the surface of the alien planet.

Without satellites, our detection capabilities and communication capabilities will disappear, and even if our space battleships can go into space, it doesn't make any sense. Nor will they need to rely on wars on the surface to decide the outcome like we did when we faced the Empire.

Because in theory, they don't need our Azure Star, so they can use weapons of mass destruction similar to nuclear weapons to...clean our planet! "

Cleansing, when the word is used here, is extremely cruel.

Because it is not the filth that will be washed away, but all of humanity.

Yang Antai was not alarmist at all. The Federation's existing space fleet only has two absolute main forces.

One of them is the Longzhou Space Fleet, and the four major fleets of the Longzhou Space Fleet, the Eastern Canglong, the Western White Tiger, the Northern Suzaku, and the Southern Xuanwu, only have 28 main space battleships.

It was like this when Ji Xinghe came to Yixing five years ago, and it is still like this five years later.

It's not that Longzhou hasn't continued to manufacture space battleships in the past five years, but that the empire has never given up fighting for air supremacy in the past five years.

Therefore, whether it is the Longzhou Space Fleet or the United Space Fleet headed by Yingzhou, they are like Ji Xinghe's independent regiment, and they have to exchange blood in the war.

Instead of constantly replenishing fresh blood.

All the main battleships in active service of the Federal Space Fleet add up to sixty-three, counting the space battleships of the next level, plus those spaceships, there are only more than one hundred ships.

How could it be possible to stop the inevitably huge cosmic fleet of a star-level civilization, or even a river system-level civilization?

Considering the gap in technological level between the two sides, it is a bit extravagant to exchange one for one.

When the high-ranking generals of the Federation were silent, Ji Xinghe, who should have been silent at this time, suddenly spoke.

"It's not a river system-level intelligent civilization, but at most a star-level civilization."

The high-level generals all frowned, not because of Ji Xinghe's judgment, but because Ji Xinghe spoke at this time.

It is true that Ji Xinghe's military achievements and value to the Federation can be said to have surpassed any general who participated in this meeting.

But only now.

The specific analysis of the specific situation that Yang Antai said, as well as the contents discussed by the generals just now, all illustrate a fact.

Ivanovic frowned and said this, in his opinion, the fact that Ji Xinghe was unwilling to admit.

"General Ji, when Adakon announced the existence of advanced alien civilizations, you said that you would live another seventy years. Assuming that advanced alien civilizations would arrive in forty-seven years, what do you mean? You will fight for another twenty-three years.

For this, I express my sincere admiration.

But unfortunately, when our main battlefield has shifted from the surface of the planet to the interstellar space, individual weapons such as mechas have no meaning. "

He actually wanted to say that mech warriors had no meaning in that era, but after all, he had to worry about the current value of Ji Xinghe.

So it is a little more euphemistic, but this euphemism itself has no meaning.

A general from Xiongzhou gave a dry cough.

"General Ji, wars in the interstellar era must rely on space battleships as the main force. Not to mention that the space battleships of higher civilizations must be ahead of the technological level of our space battleships, but only our space battleships...

Whether in space or within the atmosphere of a planet, it is impossible for mechas to cause damage to space battleships. "

An admiral from Yingzhou added: "Although the Academy of Sciences has confirmed that after being equipped with a nuclear fusion reactor, with our existing propulsion engine technology and the propulsion engine technology that is being developed, the mech theoretically has the ability to fly. possibility. However, based on the structure of the mech, this flight capability will still be limited to the surface of the planet for a long time, and the speed is unlikely to exceed the standard speed of sound.

You have obtained the driver's license of various aircraft including individual starships, so it should be very clear that flying speed represents an essential gap for aircraft, or in terms of combat between aircraft. "

The words of these two generals are also relatively tactful, but the subtext is already obvious.

No matter how good you are at Ji Xinghe, you are still just a mecha warrior. Even if you have demonstrated strategic thinking ability, you still have to be attached to the planet.

In the era of real Star Wars, there really isn't much value.

Perhaps the only value at that time is to break the human lifespan record, and even this cannot be done.

Forty-seven years later, Ji Xinghe was 117 years old, and this age did not break the human lifespan record.

If human beings are directly destroyed by then, can Ji Xinghe really continue to live?

Even Yang Antai couldn't help but said: "Old Ji, although you have created many miracles, but such things as driving mechas to kill space battleships... My suggestion is, from now on, take the gift of all mankind as your responsibility." goal, this may be an opportunity for our race to survive."

Seeing that Yang Antai had said this, the others finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I think so too." Ivanovic said: "From the information we know so far, the power of qi can not only enhance physical fitness, but also improve intelligence. The orangutan of the empire, three hundred years ago, The level of intelligence is not comparable to that of the monkeys in the empire, but after gaining the power of Qi, many orangutans have the intelligence not weaker than monkeys."

Other generals also added.

"If our scientific researchers can make a breakthrough in the level of intelligence, we may not be able to develop into a star-level intelligent civilization within forty-seven years."

"If one generation doesn't work, then two generations. It doesn't mean that after having Qi, the genes will change. It's a kind of evolution, and this evolution will directly affect the next generation. Theoretically, if we start now, we can There are opportunities for three generations."

"Even if our technology can't develop to the star level in these three generations, I think we should be able to create a spaceship that can truly continue our human fire."

"Yes, the spacecraft manufactured by our current technology cannot be separated from the support of planetary resources for a long time. But as long as our technology can develop, we can manufacture Noah's Ark, even if it is..."

"There are also improvements in life expectancy and physical fitness. With the power of qi, we humans can survive in space for a longer period of time. And don't worry that the next generation will appear like... cough, the kind of innate Physical problems. Noah's Ark, feasible."

"..."

The meeting of high-level generals of the federal military turned into a feasibility discussion meeting for the continuation of the human fire.

What does this show?

The military felt that it was impossible to win, so how should they fight?

So they all ignored the possibility Ji Xinghe just raised, because in their view, there is really no difference whether it is a star-level intelligent civilization or a river system-level intelligent civilization.

When 10,000 space battleships, dragging 10,000 tail flames, appeared in the human world like 10,000 burning meteors.

The fate of human beings will be the same as that of real meteors.

All of a sudden, Ji Xinghe became the target of public criticism, because the most important thing he should do in the face of such a crisis was indeed what these generals said.

Become a ruthless humanoid gift machine.

For the continuation of the human fire, burn yourself.

Fortunately, he was Ji Xinghe, and if he was replaced by Li Yuanba, Yang Antai would not even make so-called suggestions, but would directly make demands.

At this moment, Tu Yuan, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.

"The mecha smashed the space battleship. It sounds very clever."

All the high-ranking generals were stunned, and then roared in their hearts: Are you up to something? fuck your head.
