Chapter 491 Seeking Death
As if seeing through the intentions of humans, the Red Flame Civilization Fleet, which was fighting with the First Fleet of Humanity, frequently dispatched a large number of exploration spacecraft, and they also consciously dispatched small spacecraft to intercept. However, at this time, they were already at the end of their strength, and hundreds of thousands of interception spacecraft could not resist the large number of human exploration spacecraft.
So within half a month, Yue Yuan received the latest information fed back by the detector.
Indeed, as Manyuemei said, the interstellar trading market party really ran away, but the planetary base where they were originally located was not destroyed.
Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan immediately ordered the strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin to launch a surprise attack on the fleet in front of them, which was already at the end of its strength. He wanted to deal with this fleet as soon as possible.
Just after arranging the task for the strong artificial intelligence, Yue Yuan once again said to the communication department on the Tianqin: "Send a notice to the thirteenth planet, let the base speed up the preparation of the first and second fleets' fuel supplies, and let the base be ready to set off at any time."
Since it has been confirmed that the Red Flame Civilization has escaped, humans must take the next step. And there are only two measures, one of which is to pursue until the other party is eliminated. The second option is to end the war and have the three fleets return to the star system where the main body of the civilization is located.
Yue Yuan's idea is more inclined to the first option, because if the grass is not cut at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Since it has already been with this civilization pretending to be an interstellar trading market, it must be completely eliminated instead of letting it go.
A civilization that is on par with humans, has nanotechnology that is superior to humans, and has a blood feud with humans, let it go. Who knows if it will break through to the fourth-level civilization first one day, and then search for humans in the entire star field, and then it will really be over.
So Yue Yuan's idea is to either eliminate this unknown civilization, or turn them into serving humans like the Kuntai civilization.
After this battle, if the first and second fleets want to sail across the stars again, they must refuel and replenish various supplies here again. Compared with redeveloping here, the bases that humans have already built are naturally faster.
After instructing a series of preparatory measures, Yue Yuan focused on destroying the fleet in front of him.
Of course, it didn't take much effort. After all, the Second Fleet had already joined forces. Under the joint attack of the two fleets, it took only one month for the main force of the fleet to be completely destroyed.
Now, humans can declare victory in the war, but it will take some time for the dust to settle.
A few days later, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet finally arrived at the core area of the original Red Flame Civilization. At this moment, the probes that had already landed on various planets also sent back detailed images of several bases to the people on the Tianqin.
It was not until now that Yue Yuan really saw the true situation of the so-called core area of the interstellar trading market.
There are three planets in the core area of the Red Flame Civilization, and each planet is full of buildings.
From the aerial perspective, it can be seen that there are semi-circular buildings full of technology on the surface of each planet. The buildings are connected by transparent channels, and the rails used for transportation in the channels can be seen from a close perspective.
From these interiors and the vehicles that have stopped running inside, humans can roughly distinguish which part of the semi-circular cover building is for living and which part is for industrial production.
Residential building clusters, industrial building clusters, resource mining bases, etc. are all well preserved. Even the orbital mass accelerators standing on the earth have not been dismantled, and many space elevators are still hanging on the orbit.
Seeing this situation, some human experts believe that they did not blow up all these bases before leaving because they left in a hurry. Well, this is just one way of saying it. Other experts think more deeply. They believe that the other party did leave in a hurry, but it is not the reason why the other party left the complete base. They believe that the reason why the other party did not destroy these buildings is most likely that the other party is afraid that the movement caused by the destruction of the base will be noticed by humans.
Indeed, if they blew up all these buildings and destroyed all the bases before leaving, then the human first fleet that was fighting would definitely discover the movement here. In this way, they would have a high probability of exposing the fact that they escaped.
In addition to these two views, Yue Yuan thinks that the other party leaving a complete base has another function, which is to delay the pursuit of humans. After all, compared with a destroyed planetary base, a complete base is definitely more attractive to humans.
Someone must think: "That is a base that has been operated by a civilization of the same level for hundreds of years. Maybe we can find something by exploring it?"
This is the temptation.
Well, in fact, seeing such a scene, Yue Yuan has already had the desire to explore the situation inside the base.
Sure enough, after a while, the second mate on the Tianqin suggested: "Marshal Yue, the opponent's main civilization has successfully escaped, and as a sub-civilization of the same level, if we want to catch up and destroy it, there will inevitably be a long chase, just like the artificial intelligence consciousness chasing us and the Nair civilization.
From another perspective, if we only chase and destroy them with the fleet, we will inevitably be out of touch with our main civilization for a long time, which I think is not advisable. But if we bring the main civilization along to chase, it will put the main civilization in danger, because we don't know whether this civilization, which has a deeper understanding of nanotechnology than us, will break through to the fourth-level civilization before us in this process.
So my suggestion is not to chase. The purpose of our trip has actually been achieved. Although we failed to obtain the life potion with a five-thousand-year effect, we got the other two, and this so-called interstellar trading market has been destroyed by us, which can be regarded as revenge for those dog-headed people. In addition, we also got a fourth-level civilization creation, which is an unexpected gain. "
Hearing this, Yue Yuan fell into deep thought. His first thought was of course to pursue and then eliminate the enemy completely, but thoughts are just thoughts, and one must consider everything carefully before making a decision.
In fact, the second mate's words also omitted a factor, that is, the lifespan of these people. If they go to pursue after a little repair, even if they can hibernate during the voyage, they will have to wake up and fight every time they arrive at a star. Based on the experience of previous pursuit battles, these people may not be able to live to destroy the enemy.
Thinking about the various possibilities that emerged in his mind, Yue Yuan was actually quite entangled, and he couldn't make a decision directly for a while.
Just when he wanted everyone to express some opinions on this matter, so as to brainstorm and weigh the pros and cons of pursuing and not pursuing, a message from the second fleet shocked him.
The detection spacecraft sent by the second fleet to detect the opponent's track has sent back a message. From the opponent's magnetic track data, humans have obtained the main body of the Chiyan civilization. Route.
According to its route, the Red Flame Civilization fleet carrying their main body happened to be heading to the star where the rear base of mankind was located.
Before humans came to this so-called interstellar trading market, they chose a relatively close star and placed a strong artificial intelligence there to develop a fleet. The original purpose was actually to arrange a retreat in case of a war failure, so that they could retreat to this rear base and use the warships produced for many years to fight back.
Unexpectedly, the main body of the Red Flame Civilization is now running towards that star, which is simply seeking death!
After receiving this news, Yue Yuan no longer hesitated whether to chase or not. As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. At this time, you should boldly shout out "It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, and not to seek fame and learn from the tyrant", instead of chasing the enemy.
As for whether there are still a large number of warships among the more than 70 million spaceships, humans are no longer worried about this at the moment when the Red Flame Civilization ran away. After all, if there is still resistance, they don't have to run away.
