Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 972 Cleaning the battlefield
After successfully destroying the five space creatures, the Star Ocean Alliance realized that it was too late to provide support and they no longer had the strength to provide support because they had lost more than 40 million star-class battleships in the war to destroy the space creatures.

Although the IQ of the space Zerg is not high, its combat effectiveness and specialized reproduction ability are very strong. It is because the Star Alliance was lucky that this space Zerg did not continue to evolve into many space biological mothers during the war, otherwise they would have no choice but to run away in the end.

But even so, they underestimated the situation.

The Star Alliance thought they could have the best of both worlds, but the fleet that pursued the Daya civilization was defeated, and the fleet that was destroying the space Zerg suffered heavy losses, and it would be unable to carry out cross-galactic spiral voyages for a while.

Plus, cross-cantilever warfare is fraught with dangers and risks.

In the end, the headquarters of the Star Ocean Alliance chose to be safer and preserve the current results of the battle while studying the corpses of space creatures.

However, humans and the Daya civilization were unaware of all this. After completing the feat of destroying the Star Sea Combined Fleet, both sides immediately sailed towards the black hole, first replenishing the warships' fuel there to reach a level where they could sail across the spiral arm, and then returned to the battlefield to begin cleaning it.

Today's wars have long since quieted down, silent even. The lightsabers of millions of warships fighting each other are now a thing of the past. Those lights have flown light years away, and perhaps they will be captured by some civilization many years later, but the event light cones of the war have certainly not spread to the nearest Perseus Arm.

All that remains of the former bustle are the cold, broken warships. It is most appropriate to describe them as space junk, but scrap metal also has some value.

Three thousand human warships were constantly searching on the battlefield, and the remaining one thousand or so warships of the Daya civilization were doing the same work. Only Adley was doing nothing, floating on the edge of the black hole and sleeping soundly, waiting for humans and the Daya civilization to complete the cleaning of the battlefield.

Humans won the battle against the Dayan civilization, but it was a pyrrhic victory.

Especially the Daya civilization, a glorious fifth-level civilization with tens of millions of star-class warships, now has only a thousand warships left and is almost wiped out.

The two civilizations are now equally matched.

However, from the perspective of remaining combat power, humans have become the absolutely powerful side. Although it was the same at the beginning, the Daya civilization did not know it at that time.

Both sides now want to salvage something valuable from the wreckage of the battleship and take it back.

Especially for human civilization, the senior officials on the Tianqin were all furious. Humanity was involved in a meaningless war. The fleet that had been accumulated with great difficulty was gone just like that, and no one would be in a good mood.

Perhaps cleaning up the battlefield is the final psychological comfort.

Unfortunately, both sides had too few remaining warships. Even if all the reconnaissance ships were released, they were still pitifully few compared to the massive amount of warship wreckage on the entire vast battlefield, so the battlefield cleaning work progressed very slowly.

After all, battlefield cleaning is not fighting. It requires searching the wreckage of warships one by one. It is not as simple as just scanning it close up. It also requires the deployment of a large number of small detectors, and even manned small detection spacecraft to enter the wreckage of warships to explore.

Only in this way can we find data storage devices that may be intact on the wreckage of the battleship.

This kind of work should have been left to the subordinate civilizations, but in this battle, all the warships of the subordinate civilizations that participated in the battle were wiped out.

Fortunately, the Daya civilization was quite sensible. During the exploration of the wreckage of the warship, they took the initiative to share their exploration results with humans, which made everyone feel a little more comfortable. However, the bad news was that nothing good was found during the battlefield cleaning.

One reason is that humans and Daya civilization do not want to spend too much time cleaning up the battlefield, and the second reason is that the Star Sea United Fleet has done a very good job in anti-reverse technology.

In fact, there must be some data that has been incompletely destroyed, but there are too many warship wreckages. If you search one by one, you will definitely find it, but it is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

After humans and the Dyad civilization refueled at the black hole, they only searched here on the battlefield for three years, and then headed towards the Orion spiral arm with the few gains they had.

Everyone knows the directions of the main bodies of the residential spacecraft of the two civilizations, so there is no possibility that they cannot meet.

Although the harvest from this battlefield cleanup was not great, humans and the Dayan civilization did salvage some scattered scientific and technological information, including some descriptions of related superfast cannons.

It is said that it is a weapon that uses a Dyson sphere to wrap an entire star and then quickly absorbs the star's energy to launch a super-tachyon cannon. Although humans have never seen the scene of the super-tachyon cannon being launched at the Perseus Arm, they learned about the existence of this weapon during the salvage of battleship wreckage.

According to the scattered data salvaged, it was a masterpiece created by 13 civilizations of the Star Ocean Alliance. The core technology of the tachyon cannon is not the Dyson sphere, but the technology of rapidly squeezing the energy of stars. The Dyson sphere is only the carrier of the core technology of the tachyon cannon.

Each structural component of the Dyson sphere not only functions as a normal Dyson sphere, but also serves as a special force field generating device, energy recycling system, etc. It is their existence that enables the Star Alliance to turn an ordinary Dyson sphere into a tachyon cannon.

However, there is not much scientific and technological information about the tachyon cannon. The information salvaged from the wreckage by humans and the Dayan civilization is mostly an introduction.

After seeing this information, even the Daya civilization felt scared. They did not expect that the Star Sea Alliance actually possessed such a powerful weapon. They originally thought that the other party was just a regular fifth-level civilization alliance and there was nothing special about it.

It is hidden deeply enough that no civilization can underestimate it.

In addition to the information about the tachyon cannon, humans also found some information about element synthesis technology, but it was incomplete.

In general, this war was a loss-making war. There was no benefit at all. There were only a few fleets left, and it was like returning to the time before liberation.

Under such circumstances, humans were naturally unwilling to give up. Since they failed to salvage a complete technological system from the wreckage of the Star Alliance's warships, the humans on the Lyra naturally turned their attention to the Daya civilization.

Although humans were involved in this war out of curiosity, it is an indisputable fact that they helped the Daya civilization win the war and successfully preserve both civilizations. Even if it was not entirely due to humans, without the Daya civilization, humans would not have to fight this war at all, and without humans, the Daya civilization would have died.

The Daya civilization was sensible. After receiving Yue Yuan's hint, they immediately expressed their willingness to share all the Level 5 civilization technologies they possessed with humans free of charge, and immediately sent a long list to the Tianqin, including element synthesis technology.

This move made the human leaders feel much more relieved.

Although we know that the Daya civilization will definitely not share all of its technologies, judging from the catalog, the Daya civilization's technology sharing is enough for humans to leap from the initial stage of level five civilization to the ranks of established level five civilizations.
