Homo sapiens - Chapter 711 Trust Problem
Galaxy year 25869.
Human civilization has further expanded its control area in the Andei Cantilever.
The Silicon civilization, which is retreating steadily, cannot withstand the all-out human attack.
The Mu Xing investigation spacecraft that is on the way is still nearly five thousand light years away from the closest territory to human civilization.
Even if human civilization is expanding in the direction of the Shepherd Star investigation spacecraft, it is estimated that it will take about 4,000 Earth years for the two sides to meet.
At this time, on the Mu Xing investigation spacecraft, Famu was also mobilizing the alarm hidden in the Cepheus cantilever, and tried his best to collect various intelligence from both warring parties.
After more than a thousand years of investigation and observation, the uneasiness in Famu’s heart became more and more obvious.
Famu knew the Cepheus Silicon Tribe very well. After all, the Shepherd Civilization would conduct a comprehensive survey of the five major cantilever areas of the Milky Way approximately every 73,000 Earth years.
The Cepheus Silicon Tribe, whose technological development has stagnated for millions of years, has maintained a trend of outward expansion, but in the eyes of the Shepherd Star Civilization, the Silicon Tribe poses no threat at all.
This is one of the reasons why the Si family can exist unharmed in the Cepheus cantilever for millions of years.
However, the civilization that had just appeared in front of him surprised Famu.
“Gravity field technology?”
“Latency-free faster-than-light communication?”
“The spacecraft travels at 45% of the speed of light?”
“And special particle material technology?”
Although Famu looks down on the civilization in the cantilever area, the performance of human civilization makes it have to pay attention to it.
In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Famu even stopped moving forward. After all, the space distortion engine technology of the Shepherd civilization, for a civilization with super gravity technology, is like driving a tractor under the sea – blatantly.
Abnormal gravitational waves generated by space distortion engines are easily detected.
Although the distance between the two sides was about five thousand light years at this time, Famu did not dare to take it lightly.
If the other party discovers it in advance, not only will you be in danger, but the mission assigned to you by the headquarters may also fail.
Of course, it chose to stop at this time, not on its own initiative, but rather explained the situation to the headquarters.
The Shepherd Star civilization has quantum communication technology and can achieve long-distance communication without delay.
After Famu reported the results of his investigation over the past thousand years, the headquarters of Mu Xing Civilization immediately agreed to Famu’s suspension application.
At this time, through the spacecraft’s quantum communication system, Famu was discussing the next work with several other Shepherds.
“Lardy, what do your Intelligence Analysis Department have in mind?”
In the holographic projection, a Shepherd with the same silver-gray surface emits an electromagnetic wave:
“Judging from the intelligence you have collected, the strength of this civilization is very close to ours, and it also has some unique technologies. If you rely on your survey spacecraft alone, even through particle robots, you can quickly expand the infinite space in a short period of time. It’s the size of a human battleship, but the risk is still very high.”
Famu also agrees with this very much.
It is worried that if it cannot defeat the opponent in a short period of time, and the opponent has long-distance delay-free communication technology, it is estimated that it will soon become aware of the existence of the Shepherd Civilization.
Another Shepherd was also worried: “The Baisai Cantilever should not be the base camp of this civilization. Their base camp should be the Kelit Cantilever. This range is too broad. Even our spacecraft will take a long time.”
First-level civilizations that do not have faster-than-light navigation technology will always have many concerns when attacking other first-level civilizations.
The reason is that the nights are long and there are many dreams.
There are too many variables in an expedition that can take hundreds or thousands of years to start.
What worries the Shepherd civilization even more are the other two competitors entrenched in the galactic center of the Milky Way.
Once their pastoral civilization enters the cantilever area on a large scale, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other two civilizations and even take action secretly.
The resource-poor and vast cantilever area is a useless piece of land for the Shepherd Star civilization.
It would be a pity to throw it away, and it would be a pity to eat it without meat.
After all, dispatching a large-scale expeditionary force to the cantilever area requires the consumption of huge amounts of dark energy crystals, and the dark energy crystals produced by the light-devouring star beasts raised by the Shepherd Star Civilization are limited.
At this time, several shepherds who were discussing human civilization with Famu had already calculated the price to pay for the expedition to the cantilever area.
If human civilization is to be completely wiped out, at least 300 million first-level space battleships will need to be dispatched, which is equivalent to 42% of the space battleships of the Shepherd civilization. In addition, at least 80% of the dark energy crystals in stock will need to be consumed.
This kind of price makes these Shepherds find it difficult to accept.
After all, after tens of millions of years of overt and covert struggle among the three major civilizations in the Galactic Center, their forces have already reached a state of relative balance.
Now let the Shepherd Civilization mobilize such a huge force and resources to expedition to the cantilever area. It is estimated that the other two civilizations will join forces soon to prepare to attack the Shepherd Civilization.
You know, the Mist civilization has been coveting the dark energy crystallization technology of the Mu Star civilization for a long time.
In this three-legged situation.
The emergence of human civilization has made the three parties in the galactic center very embarrassed.
In fact, the Fog Tribe, who have more powerful detection and concealment techniques, had already noticed the existence of human civilization when it collided with the one-eyed civilization of the Centaur Cantilever.
It’s just that the Mist civilization didn’t tell the other two civilizations.
On the one hand, human beings were not as powerful as they are now.
On the other hand, it is because human civilization and the Mist civilization are not directly adjacent to each other. The two sides are separated by the One-Eye Civilization and the Shepherd Star Civilization.
Even with the rise of human civilization, the Mist Tribe did not tell the Shepherd Civilization about this matter. After all, the three major civilizations in the Galactic Center were not friends, but mortal enemies who wanted each other to explode on the spot.
If human civilization is allowed to develop, the Pastoral civilization will definitely be very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the Mist tribe pays more attention to the cantilever zone than the Shepherd civilization. It has secretly laid out the cantilever zone a long time ago. There is no need to worry about human civilization threatening its base camp.
At this time, every move of the Mu Xing civilization has actually been secretly monitored by the Mist Clan.
As for whether human civilization will cooperate with the Shepherd civilization, the Mist tribe is not worried at all.
After all, the strength of human civilization has progressed very quickly, and it is already very close to the three major civilizations in the Galactic Center.
In this case, it would be impossible for the Pastoral civilization and human civilization to cooperate.
It is difficult for civilizations to trust each other.
Even the Mist Clan civilization is very wary of the speed of technological development of human civilization at this time, but they are unwilling to let the Mist Clan take action to destroy human civilization.
Once a full-scale war breaks out between such top first-class civilizations, it will affect the entire star system.
If the Mist tribe fights head-on with humans, they will easily be missed by the other two civilizations.
When the three parties join forces, this involves issues of trust and distance.
As long as human civilization specifically targets the expeditionary force of one of the civilizations, their alliance will be self-defeating.
