I was exposed for mining on Mars - Chapter 242 Neutron Star (7k)

It seems that Harlem has considered this idea many times. Even if the Cygnus civilization did not send these one hundred return-to-zero battleships today, he would still find a way to get a few, but the situation at that time would definitely not be the case. Same as now.

When Rain Master heard this, his gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that genocide would happen while he, the Speaker, was in office.

So the two of them were no longer in the mood to do any research and started deploying it directly.

Since the last battle at the cruise fleet base camp, the two races have also suffered heavy losses, and the total population has dropped sharply to only a few hundred thousand people. Although it has recovered somewhat in the past twenty years, it has not exceeded one million.

This is one of the drawbacks of mechanical ascendants. Although they can have endless lifespans (as long as they are not killed), they cannot reproduce offspring.

In addition, they cannot create new technology. If they want the continuation of the race, they cannot turn all the people into mechanical ascendants.

However, in order to control these two civilizations, the Cygnus Civilization directly controlled the number of mechanical ascenders among them to 80%, which also prevented the populations of these two civilizations from growing much.

But these are not important now. As long as they can escape the control of Cygnus, they have the possibility to prosper their civilization again.

The focus of this breakout plan has also become how to protect those who have not become mechanical ascendants.

Luo Xiu was also shocked when he received this information from Xue He. He did not expect that these two races would have such great courage.

But since the other party dared to do this, he had no reason not to support it. At least he still wanted to get the gene pool of these two races.

So he immediately contacted the two clan leaders and worked with them on an escape plan.

The original plan designated by the two clan leaders was to escape directly and leave half of the clan behind.

But Luo Xiu gave a more stable plan, which was to use the reason of ‘verifying the technology of mining neutron stars’ to have the fleet assemble towards several neutron stars within the cantilever of Cygnus.

This is of course not to verify any technology, but to distract the Cygnus omnic civilization.

Currently, the Zeroing Fleet controlled by the Cygnus Civilization has begun to assemble in the central area. When they discover the escape plans of these two civilizations, it is already over for them to send out the fleet.

Harlem and Yushi admired Luo Xiu’s plan very much. They immediately approved the plan and made a guarantee that as long as they could successfully escape from the control of Cygnus civilization, they would take the remaining battleships and tribesmen with them. Join the United Solar System Civilizations.

In their opinion, the United Solar System Civilization has no reason to reject a battleship as powerful as the Zero Battleship.

It’s just that they don’t know yet that Luo Xiu has just defeated an advance team of the Zeroing fleet of the Cygnus civilization, and Xianza has restored several Zeroing battleships using the materials of the destroyed Zeroing battleships.

It’s just that he doesn’t have much interest in such a big battleship. He is only somewhat interested in the super weapon like the tachyon light spear on it.

But he did not point out this. If these two civilizations can really escape, it will not only be a big victory for their combined solar system civilization, but also a big blow to the Cygnus civilization.

You must know that the other side now only has these two vassal civilizations. If it loses them, it will also lose the opportunity for technological development.

An omnic civilization whose technology cannot break through again is much less threatening than a civilization full of variables. This is the fundamental reason why Luo Xiu wants to help these two civilizations.

Now that this was clear, Luo Xiu no longer wanted to worry about the affairs of the Orion Alliance. He directly informed Cao Guolin to let him have full authority to handle matters there.

On Luo Xiu’s side, he gathered all the starship’s combat staff and mid-level and above commanders into the virtual combat conference room.

It is much better to weaken the enemy’s strength to the greatest extent than to race together on technology.

“Comrades, this is another special mission. I need everyone to help me complete it.”

Luo Xiu announced to everyone.

Everyone else showed a bit of excitement on their faces. After all, it was usually not their turn to participate in this kind of mission. It was basically taken over by the highest-level combat staff or officers, namely Xue He, Gou Wen and Cao Guolin. These people.

However, because they were all starship people, the extremely high quality they had developed over a long period of time allowed them to quickly recover and began to focus on Luo Xiu’s next words.

Luo Xiu was not surprised by this situation.

He directly released the star map taken by the proton in the Cygnus cantilever, combined with the maps that Hasakuk had explored for so many years.

In fact, this already includes more than 70% of the Cygnus area, but this is no longer a secret within the construction.

After Luo Xiu enlarged the star map several times, he finally marked a point on it and said: “There are two enemy affiliated civilizations here. Now they have a hundred return-to-zero battleships. They want to escape from the Cygnus civilization. Control, our goal is to help them escape as much as possible.”

“Of course, there are also incidental goals. Currently, all the zero-zero warships of the Cygnus civilization are assembled in this area. According to intelligence analysis, there are more than one million ships. Our second goal is to use these two civilizations to contain these enemies. Spread their energy and buy more time.”

“Control system, please share the specific information of this mission with everyone. We only have two days. Everyone must brainstorm and come up with an optimal answer.”

“Yes.” These people all responded after Luo Xiu finished speaking, and then gave him a military salute.

Luo Xiu nodded.

Although the control system can also simulate hundreds of combat plans, Luo Xiu always feels that it is very irrational to use a low-end intelligent system to deal with advanced civilizations like the Cygnus omnic civilization. All his actions can be easily analyzed by the other party.

Only by using the unique ideas of intelligent civilization can we deal with the omnic civilization that only plays cards according to conventional means. This is Luo Xiu’s idea.

And in the future, we must be fully aware of this in the process of fighting the Cygnus civilization.

One day later, a dozen-point combat plan was placed in front of Luo Xiu. This was the best plan after discussions among nearly a hundred people, and it had been screened once.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Luo Xiu, and it was obviously a great honor for these people to be recognized by him.

Luo Xiu briefly looked through the combat plans, only keeping two of them, and threw away the others.

“Next, you have to deploy according to these two combat plans. This is plan one, and this is the backup plan.”

In fact, this other plan is basically similar to Luo Xiu’s idea, which is to use the “trust” of the Cygnus civilization in the Harker and Yu tribes to disperse and escape on the grounds of verifying the “neutron star mining” technology.

There are just some differences in the choice of neutron star and escape plan.

According to Luo Xiu’s request, the final destination of the survivors of these two civilizations is the United Civilization of their solar system, and the plan needs to be refined again.

The combat plan has been formulated. This is also the first time that combat staff and commanders above the middle level of starship civilization have conducted joint operations under Luo Xiu’s personal command.

Luo Xiu first communicated directly with the Hark Tribe and the Yu Tribe using protons and explained the combat plan to them. After receiving the other party’s promise of “full cooperation”, the two parties finally began to act together.

Since there was no peripheral monitoring, the Hark and Yu tribes directly brought all the people on the planet into these one hundred return-to-zero battleships.

According to the results of the initial discussion between the two clans, they were originally going to drive fifty of the ships separately, but Luo Xiu let them all fly together.

In this way, even if only one battleship manages to escape in the end, Luo Xiu will get the gene pool of both races.

Of course, he would not explain this to the speakers of the two tribes, but said that doing so could preserve the fire of the two civilizations at the same time.

Harlem and Rain Master naturally had no objections.

Next, they will start to become familiar with the operation of the battleship.

These zeroing battleships were originally operated directly by the data clones of the Cygnus omnic civilization, so all instruments had only the simplest settings.

Fortunately, there were quite a few mechanical ascenders among these two groups, and it took half a day to barely get the battleship started.

The next step is the most important step. There are monitoring equipment and various weapons on the Zero Warship.

Luo Xiu’s opinion is that except for the tachyon light spear, all other weapons should be removed. This can reduce the load on the battleship and install some other technologies at the same time.

Luo Xiu was not stingy this time and directly transmitted the simplest antimatter thruster to the two races.

Although it is a simplified version, it is much more efficient than the nuclear fusion thruster on the Zero Zero battleship.

Not to mention that Luo Xiu asked them to install at least dozens of anti-matter thrusters on each battleship.

In this way, the speed of these modified battleships will be much faster than the original zeroing battleships.

However, it took more than twenty days to research and manufacture these antimatter thrusters. As soon as the modifications were completed, they sent a message directly to the Cygnus civilization saying that they wanted to verify the ‘neutron star mining’ technology, and they had no time to prepare. The star map of the target neutron star was also sent over.

The Cygnus civilization has long had the idea that this technology is inevitable, and naturally it will not object at this time.

So the ‘scientific research fleet’ composed of these two civilizations directly broke into pieces and headed in all directions.

It’s just that they all drove at normal speed and did not dare to use anti-matter thrusters because the best time had not yet come.

“Fleet No. 1 has arrived at the scheduled location.”

“Fleet No. 2 has arrived at the scheduled location.”

“Fleet Three…”

A series of signals converged on the flagship of the Harker and Rain Tribes. Harker and the Rain Tribe looked at each other, and then showed expressions of relief.

“The first step has been completed perfectly, and the Cygnus omnic civilization has not yet been discovered.” Harlin said.

“But the next step is the most important thing, because the number of enemy ships is too huge. We have to be careful before we can escape.” Rain Master said cautiously.

“Don’t worry, our goal is just to escape, we don’t have to fight with them at all, so what if there are more of them? Don’t forget that our battleship will be faster after modification, and…”

Harlem smiled meaningfully.

“And what?”

Seeing Harin’s expression, Master Yu felt vaguely uneasy. He didn’t know this old guy very well. Could it be that he wanted to do something outrageous?

“And I have no intention of evacuating in full accordance with the plan of the solar system civilization.” Harlin looked at the deep space outside the window and finally said something he had been thinking about.

“What did you say? At this time, you actually said such things to me?” Upon hearing this, Rain Master showed an excited look on his face, and immediately grabbed Harlin’s collar and lifted him up.

The average height of the Rain Clan reaches two and a half meters, while the average height of the Huck Clan is only half that of the Rain Clan, so the Rain Master’s move was so smooth that even Harlin himself was shocked.

“I don’t care what you want to do, but you can’t bet the future of our Rain Clan civilization.” Rain Master said angrily.

“Calm down, old man, calm down. As long as you listen to what I say, I believe you will make the same decision as me.”

A look of fear flashed across Harlin’s face, but he quickly recovered. The Rain Clan is a very rational race. As long as they can give them a suitable reason, any anger can be calmed down. This is how they become Cygnus again. An important reason for vassal civilization.

“Let’s put it this way, if I’m not satisfied, I’ll throw you out of the hatch.” Rain Master had no intention of letting go.

Harlin sighed, and then said: “According to the original plan, our destination is the mysterious United Solar System civilization. You must know that it is located in the constellation Orion, and is currently at war with the Cygnus civilization. You Who do you think will win?”

“Who will win? Does who win have anything to do with our evacuation plan?” Rain Master said with clenched fists. Obviously, Harlin’s roundabout statement made him very dissatisfied.

Harlin twitched his lips and continued: “They are at war. No matter who wins, it will not do us any good in the end. Think about it, if the Cygnus civilization wins, what will be our end? Is it forgiveness?”

Rain Master shook his head. Although Cygnus civilization has a different understanding of ‘betrayal’ and intelligent civilization, it does not mean that their behavior will be understood. If it really reaches the stage that Harlin said, I am afraid that what they will get is destroy.

Harlin noticed Rain Master’s expression and knew that he had already thought of that situation, and then he continued: “We have gone through so much trouble to escape, just to be destroyed in another place? Are you willing?”

“But that solar system civilization may not lose. They have technology that the Cygnus civilization does not have, and coupled with our intelligence, they still have a good chance of winning.” Rain Master immediately retorted.

“You are right, it is possible, but even if the civilization in that solar system really wins, how many people will be left among the people we fled there? Tens of thousands or thousands? Are these people enough to become an independent civilization? By then I’m afraid our status will be similar to here at that time, and the best situation is to be assimilated by the other party. Are you willing to see this situation?”

Harlin’s face was calm, but the words he spoke cut into Rain Master’s heart like ice knives, making his expression become increasingly ugly.

“I didn’t say that we have plans to completely abandon the civilization of the solar system. It’s just that we can’t have all the fleets’ destinations there, and don’t pin all our hopes on one place. This is the safest approach.”

After Harlin finished speaking, he waved his hand and a star map appeared in front of him. The two dazzling white spots on it were Cygnus and Orion, but there were several slightly fainter white spots around them, which were other branches on the second cantilever of the Milky Way. arms, and these are Harlem’s goals.

Rainmaster thought about it for ten minutes, and finally let go. Harlem fell to the floor, but he was not angry at all.

“Believe me, I am not doing this for myself, but for the future of our two civilizations.”

The rain master said nothing, just nodded.

Then Haring began to communicate with protons and conveyed Haring’s ideas to the Milky Way.

When Luo Xiu received the summons from Proton, he did not show any emotion, but other people in the virtual space began to be filled with indignation.

Some people say that this person named Harlem is not a real person. He actually betrayed his trust and gave up his original plan at a critical moment.

Some people also say that these two groups were not sincere in cooperating with them from the beginning, but were just taking advantage of them.

Soon the combat command room became a mess.

Luo Xiu finally came to his senses, then waved his hand and said: “Okay, everyone, calm down. After experiencing so many exchanges with other civilizations, I think everyone has a certain understanding of the relationship between civilizations. .”

Everyone immediately fell silent, all eyes focused on Luo Xiu, with a thoughtful look on his face.

“The decisions of these two races are only for the continuation of their civilization, and they have not completely abandoned our plan. The most important thing for us is actually to obtain the latest status of their gene pool and the Cygnus civilization’s technology database.”

That’s right, there is no conspiracy between civilizations at all. Everything is for the survival and development of this civilization, so Luo Xiu is not too surprised by the decisions of these two clans.

The other starship people saw what Luo Xiu said and quickly calmed down.

Yes, they are just trying to get something that is beneficial to themselves, so why should they stand on the moral high ground and condemn the other party? If it were them, they might make the same decision.

Therefore, after this small episode, Luo Xiu continued to lead everyone to assist the Huck and Yu tribes in their evacuation plan.

Harlem and Rain Master did not expect that the civilization of the solar system would accept their temporarily changed plan so easily.

After the two of them saw Proton’s information, they felt a little ashamed.

However, none of what they did was for their own personal benefit, so they quickly recovered and began to proceed as planned.

There are already many Cygnus fleets waiting for them outside the seven planned neutron stars.

Cygnus’s data clone robot also attaches great importance to this technology.

After Harlem drove the battleship to a close enough distance from the neutron star, he activated the tachyon light lance on the battleship.

The tachyon light spear was affected by gravity, and the originally straight attack trajectory now curved.

But none of this mattered anymore. Harlin counted to 1 silently in his mind, and then shouted to the communicator that was always on: “Start taking action.”

Then all the battleships were like arrows leaving the string, speeding away into the deep space of the universe.

“Haha, everything went well, we escaped, huh? Why didn’t they chase us?”

Harlin looked at the situation in the detector. The red dots representing the Zeroing Fleet controlled by Cygnus stayed in place and did not move, as if they were not aware of their escape.

But is this possible?

Putting aside the suspicious faces of the Harker and Rainmaster tribes, in fact, the Cygnus omnic civilization had already discovered the little tricks of these two tribes, but it just ignored their little tricks because of its emphasis on the ‘neutron star mining’ technology.

So much so that the zeroing fleets near these seven neutron stars did not prevent the warships driven by these two groups from leaving, because they had more important work to do.

As the tachyon light spear came into contact with the neutron star, a dazzling white light burst out.

The light on the four neutron stars that were too massive among them quickly flashed away, which represented the failure of this experiment. The energy of the tachyon light spear was simply unable to explode these neutron stars.

However, the last three neutron stars reacted strongly, and the smallest one even emitted obvious seismic waves.

“The battleships near the No. 7 test neutron star immediately fired a salvo of tachyon light spears at the No. 7 neutron star.”

The Cygnus omnic civilization immediately discovered the movement here, and immediately transferred its consciousness to the data clone mechanical body on the battleship here, and personally directed the experiment.

It no longer wants to care about the escaping vassal races. As long as neutron stars can really be mined, then it can use neutron star materials to upgrade all zero-zero battleships. This is more technology than what he can get by conquering all civilizations in an arm. Much more powerful.

After the order was issued, a burst of dazzling white light came from the surrounding two thousand zero-zero battleships.

These battleships are all equipped with super weapons that can launch tachyon light spears for this test.

Soon, it became a sea of ​​light, the brightness of which was even compared to a supernova explosion.

However, the dazzling white light quickly disappeared, and the neutron star that had been continuously bombarded for a minute also exploded completely.

This shows that as long as the energy of the tachyon light spear is large enough, it can indeed unlock the super strong binding force inside the neutron star.

The material that makes up neutron stars is scattered everywhere in the deep space of the universe and is quickly collected.

And those neutron star fragments with larger mass cannot even be carried by a zero-zero battleship.

It can only be bombarded into smaller fragments with the tachyon light spear again.

But these are just minor problems. At least the Cygnus civilization has proven that the ‘neutron star mining technology’ is feasible.

…

Luo Xiu was not aware of the scene where the Cygnus civilization mistakenly hit the target. If he had known that the Cygnus civilization had really exploded a neutron star, I am afraid he would not have saved the Huck and Yu tribe at all.

And now, on the star map in front of him, there were two fleets of the Hark Tribe and the Rain Tribe heading in their direction.

As for the other ignorant fleets, they went to other constellation arms.

Everyone in the combat command room couldn’t believe that the combat plan that took so long and so much manpower and material resources to research was completed so easily? Why didn’t the Cygnus civilization pursue these defecting vassal civilization fleets?

In fact, Luo Xiu was a little strange about this. You must know that the Hark tribe and the Yu tribe are the last two affiliated civilizations of the Cygnus civilization. Without them, the Cygnus civilization will become blind. In the future, do not think about having any more technological achievements. Any development is possible.

If technology cannot progress, this is equivalent to losing its vitality for an omnic civilization. Is there anything more important than this?

Luo Xiu contacted Qiong, explained the situation to her, and then asked, “What do you think about this matter?”

“I think the Cygnus omnic civilization may have discovered something more important than technological stagnation. I would like to apply for another reconnaissance of the Cygnus fleet.”

Qiong said.

“Is there something more important than technological stagnation? Is it this war?”

Luo Xiu said thoughtfully.

If the Cygnus civilization feels that as long as the Zeroing Fleet can conquer the entire Orion, it can regain many vassal civilizations, then according to the underlying logical priorities, it may indeed make such a decision.

But judging from its orders to the Harker Tribe and the Rain Tribe at that time, it was true that it attached great importance to the “neutron star mining technology”. How could it give up halfway at the critical moment?

unless……

Luo Xiu suddenly thought of a terrible fact, and he immediately ordered the proton that was originally responsible for contacting the Harks to return and continue to monitor the Zeroing Fleet.

He had already told the coordinates of Alpha Centaur to the two battleships of the Hark Tribe and the Rain Tribe heading towards Orion, and they could only rely on themselves next.

But Luo Xiu must not let go of what happened in the Cygnus civilization.

Just like this, another half month passed, and Luo Xiu finally found the seventh place where the neutron star was shattered.

There are still a lot of debris floating in the air here, and the number is very large, which even the Zero Battleship cannot completely collect.

When the pictures here came back, Luo Xiu couldn’t sit still.

“Could it be that the tachyon light spear actually shattered a neutron star?”

Luo Xiu’s face became extremely ugly.

According to a report by researchers working on microscopic particle sculpting technology, the strong interaction force is a force that exists within atoms and within them.

The binding force inside the neutron star is the strong interaction force, so it has a strong ‘immunity’ effect on technology below the intermediate civilization. Otherwise, the energy of these weapons is too low.

But Luo Xiu did not expect that the ‘tachyon light spear’ brought by the Cygnus civilization this time actually met the conditions for destroying the strong interaction force. No wonder the ghost battleship would also be repelled by the tachyon light spear.

And now he has to face an even more embarrassing fact, that is, if the Cygnus omnic civilization really masters the technology of strong interaction materials, relying on the opponent’s copying ability, then millions of ships with strong interaction materials will return. How will he deal with Zero Battleship?

If you want to be the same or even exceed in terms of combat power, you must pay the same productivity, but this is difficult to achieve for intelligent civilizations, because a large part of their productivity needs to be used to maintain their own survival.

The omnic civilization obviously does not need to consider this. It only needs to be continuously copied and multiplied without considering anything else.
