Chapter 403 The Worst Situation
Under the dense clouds and rumbling artillery fire in the solar system, Nanmen II, Xiaguang Galaxy, Yunguang Galaxy, etc., next to the neutron star numbered RXJ185635-3754, research on the laws and nature of dark matter and dark energy is being closely carried out. .

Time passed slowly, and several years passed in the blink of an eye. Over the years, this interstellar war has enveloped several star systems, spanned thousands of light-years, and affected seven civilizations. The interstellar war is still going on half-dead.

Human civilization has indeed encountered extremely strong war pressure, and comprehensive mobilization has been ongoing. Every day, countless warships and soldiers rush to the front line.

In space, at least hundreds of thousands of warships are mobilized every day, and hundreds of large space carriers travel between various galaxies.

The huge amount of material consumption never stopped for a minute.

In the war that lasted for more than ten years, 12.6 warships were destroyed on the human side, and more than million soldiers were killed.

Correspondingly, about 8 warships were destroyed by the five major civilization coalition forces, and the number of dead warriors was estimated to be in the order of tens of millions.

It cannot be said that the battle was not intense. But...compared to the overall situation at this moment, it still seems too quiet.

You must know that the number of warships participating in the war on both sides is more than 400 million, and the number of soldiers participating in the war is more than one billion. After fighting for so long, there were only a few casualties, as if two people had just scratched their skin in a fight.

A certain trend has become increasingly obvious.

The scientific research, logistics, and engineering staff, as if they were real people, fell into despair and fear under Han Yang's manipulation.

For neutron stars, there is no difference between gold, silver, copper and iron.

From the construction style alone, it can be determined that these battleships are definitely not human creations.

This message was broadcast repeatedly. But obviously, this didn't do anything. That fleet was still accelerating rapidly, and at a distance of about 10 million kilometers, it directly used gravity cannons to start a salvo.

Tens of thousands of tons and hundreds of thousands of tons of mass, before reaching the surface of the neutron star, were directly pulled into a long strip by gravity due to tidal action, and then violently bombarded the neutron star.

Their scale is not large, only about 1000 warships. The one responsible for transporting them is the smallest space carrier.

After leaving the berth and completing the assembly, the space carrier did not leave, but was still waiting here. The 1000 or so warships immediately began to accelerate and rushed toward the scientific research facility built by Han Yang.

Under the pressure of the army, they used broadcast communication equipment to continuously send signals to the incoming enemy: "We are a scientific research fleet, not a military force, and we do not pose any threat.

There is no element of any kind on it. When any element reaches it, the atomic structure will be destroyed. The electrons are pressed into the nucleus and combine with protons to form neutrons.

Gravity multi-layer shields, quark restraint shields, etc. were shattered as easily as egg shells. In an instant, a large number of scientific research bases exploded, and fire even erupted from inside.

This complex alloy with super strong properties, which cost a lot of resources of human civilization, is now directly integrated into the neutron star and becomes a part of the neutron star.

Under such circumstances, next to the neutron star, when Han Yang had just established a preliminary internal convection model of the neutron star and had not had time to conduct further research, suddenly there was a wave of radiation around the star field with extremely violent radiation. The fleet appears.

In just a few hours, all facilities and spaceships were destroyed. All humans were killed.

A large number of severed limbs and debris were flying around, and many small life-saving crafts were flying around. The communication channel was filled with desperate cries.

According to Article 76 of Article 332 of the Silver Alliance Treaty, scientific research, civilian, commercial and other non-military forces enjoy immunity from war in non-battlefield environments and non-combat conditions that are not sufficient to have any impact on the war situation. Neither the fleet nor the civilization has the power to attack it.

But... after the explosion, a neutron star is still a neutron star. There are no scratches, dents or dings on it. It still maintains its original color and shape, and its appearance is still close to an absolute sphere.

Only a piece of debris is left above the orbit of the neutron star. Some of the debris even lost its orbital maintenance speed due to the attack. Under the huge gravity of the neutron star, it was pulled directly towards the planet.

Han Yang only deployed 20 warships as escort force here. At this moment, under the attack of this fleet, the entire scientific research fleet had almost no power to fight back.

Under its own acceleration mechanism and the gravitational acceleration of the neutron star, tens of millions of gravity cannon pellets roared in like a heavy rain and violently collided with the scientific research base and the spacecraft.

Speeds up to half the speed of light give them unimaginable ultra-high kinetic energy. At this moment, the kinetic energy is converted into energy, which is equivalent to the energy of at least trillions of tons of TNT explosives exploding simultaneously, exploding directly on the surface of the neutron star.

This is not a battlefield, and we will not have any impact on the battlefield situation! "

It only has neutrons on it.

The incoming fleet watched all this coldly. After confirming that all facilities were destroyed and everyone was killed, the fleet started reverse acceleration, broke away from the gravitational field of the neutron star, returned to the space carrier, and then disappeared.

Everything that happened here was immediately noticed by Han Yang.

If Han Yang hadn't deliberately used a dummy to carry out scientific research, tens of thousands of living people would have died in the sea of ​​​​stars at this moment.

Although meaningless casualties were avoided, the trend became more obvious in front of Han Yang and the ruling committee members.

In the short term, it is impossible for our side to make a breakthrough in the study of dark force theory, and it is even less likely that this breakthrough will bring about any improvement in combat power. The scientific research activities next to the neutron star do not have the ability to predict the current war. , any threat to the five major civilization alliances.

No matter where you looked, there was no need or reason for them to go across hundreds of light years to annihilate them.

Then why did they go all the way to destroy the scientific research fleet?
Considering the current situation, Han Yang can only think that...

Preventing human civilization from being promoted to level five civilization is the bottom line of the civilization behind the scenes. In this way, any attempt by human civilization to conduct research on the dark force theory, even if it is just preliminary research within preliminary research, even if it is only extremely preliminary research at this moment, must be resolutely put an end to it and resolutely destroyed.

This speculation, which means the worst case scenario for human civilization, can almost be said to have been confirmed at this moment.

Han Yang sighed secretly in his heart.

He originally planned to repeat the scene when human civilization hit the fourth-level civilization stage.

In other words, relying on one's own special form of existence, on the premise of withstanding the attack of the five major civilization coalition forces, one can delay time while secretly developing technology and accumulating strength. When human civilization is promoted to level five civilization, it can launch a desperate counterattack. After completely wiping out the five major fourth-level civilizations, you can even launch an attack on the Blue Mountain Civilization. While pulling out this nail, you can truly get involved in the struggle between the civilizations who created it behind the scenes.

However, if one's own promotion touches the bottom line of the civilization of the malicious creator, then promotion will be absolutely impossible.

Although there is a well-intentioned founder civilization behind our side, even if our side is promoted, the struggle between the two sides will definitely break the original tacit understanding and rules.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against a thief? It is impossible for a well-intentioned founder civilization to always look after its own side. If one does not pay attention, one's own side will be destroyed.

The chance of extinction is as high as 100%.

At this moment, although our own side still has some spare strength, if we use our full strength, we can even completely destroy the 200 million warships of the five major civilization alliances.

But Han Yang couldn't do that.

Doing that would only lead to more severe suppression, and it would be better to maintain the current stalemate.

Using one's own special form of existence to secretly sail to an unnoticed remote planet in the galaxy and rely on one's own efforts to develop to the fifth-level civilization stage is also not feasible.

Not to mention being separated from the human scientific community and the wisdom of billions of brains, can I achieve a breakthrough on my own? Even if I can do it, how can I truly transform technology into combat effectiveness?

You must know that once you use the technology of a fifth-level civilization and let the malicious founder civilization judge that your side has broken through to level five, even if they don't know how they broke through, their first reaction must be that the situation is out of control, and they must Use unconventional means to directly destroy your own side.

Not to mention, without the wisdom of human scientists, it would be almost impossible for me to master the dark force theory on my own.

The theory of dark force is too huge, and it is too difficult to study it clearly.

To break away from the Silver Alliance system, Han Yang cannot break away from his own existence. The entire civilization's hundreds of billions of people must be taken away.

This is both a realistic requirement and a decision that Han Yang will inevitably make on an emotional level.

If you abandon the entire civilization and escape alone, what is the difference between you and a real AI?
However, how difficult it is for the entire civilization to break away from the Silver Alliance...

Facing the silent ruling committee members, Liu Yuan's voice was low but powerful: "No matter how difficult the matter is, we must do it.

To accomplish this, you need an opportunity. And this opportunity lies with Luotu Civilization.

Now we can only wait, can only wait. Our opportunity will come only when Luotu civilization truly wakes up.

Starting today, let’s strengthen business exchanges with Luotu Civilization. "

All the ruling members agreed silently.

Regarding Luotu civilization, there is always a question lingering in the hearts of the ruling committee members, including Han Yang himself.

That is, is a level five civilization that has some influence in the entire galaxy really so short of silver coins? Why do you show such an urgent desire for silver coins?

The eager desire for silver coins has even become the label of Luotu civilization, and has become a completely different feature of Luotu civilization from other fifth-level civilizations.

In a large number of exchanges with other civilizations, whether it is commercial exchanges or engineering cooperation, as well as galaxy cleaning tasks, security tasks, transportation tasks, etc., human civilization has always been collecting intelligence about the Luotu civilization.

After a long period of collecting, finally, a more credible speculation was presented to Han Yang.

The reason why the Luotu civilization is so eager to earn silver coins is most likely to advance to the sixth level civilization.

Whether one can be promoted to a sixth-level civilization seems to be only related to the scientific research potential of one's own civilization. But this is obviously not the case in the Silver Alliance.

No matter how potential you have, you must first conduct research to understand the scientific theory of level six civilization and then advance to a higher level.

If you want to study it, it will inevitably involve the mobilization of a large amount of scientific research resources, the construction of countless large scientific equipment, and even some specific test sites.

Just like Han Yang directly pushed a planet into a black hole in order to study the theory of everything. In order to conduct preliminary research on the dark force theory, it is necessary to find a neutron star and conduct research in its surrounding environment.

Although we don’t know exactly what kind of test environment is required for the promotion of a fifth-level civilization to a sixth-level civilization, it must be more demanding than the promotion of a fourth-level civilization to a fifth-level civilization. In other words, suitable environments will be rarer in the galaxy.

So... is it possible that the sixth-level civilization blocks the possibility of the fifth-level civilization being promoted to the sixth-level civilization by blocking a suitable experimental environment, or prohibiting the fifth-level civilization from conducting certain experiments or projects?
Han Yang thinks this is very possible.

In this way, whether a fifth-level civilization can become a sixth-level civilization is not only related to its own scientific research strength, but also related to whether it obtains permission.

The intelligence collected by human civilization over a long period of time shows that the Luotu civilization desperately earns silver coins and shows an abnormal desire for silver coins. The purpose is most likely to exchange for a permitted quota from the founder civilization.

After coming to this conclusion, the first thought in the minds of the ruling committee members was absurdity.

the reason is simple. Even if it is just a life of a first-level or second-level low-level civilization, as long as you have enough political wisdom, you can see that this so-called "save a certain amount of silver coins, you can buy a license quota", or "achieve a certain amount of silver coins" If you meet certain conditions, you can get permission to be promoted." This kind of promise has always been just a blank check. It is a pie drawn by high-level civilization in order to allow low-level civilization to be driven by it. It is impossible to honor it.

The five major and sixth-level founder civilizations of the Milky Way occupy the top ecological niche of the Milky Way. Under such circumstances, allowing any fifth-level civilization to be promoted to a sixth-level civilization will lead to an increase in the number of people sharing the cake and a decrease in the number of cakes shared by one's own party.

No rational sixth-level civilization can retreat on this issue. On this issue, their interests are consistent and their attitudes must be consistent.

Even the beings of lower-level civilizations would not believe it, so why would the leaders of a dignified fifth-level civilization believe it? And really for this promise, start a thousand-year operation that consumes civilization resources and desperately takes on tasks from low-level civilizations to earn silver coins?
