Chapter 466 The Fleet Sets Off!
The counterparty of this transaction, the "Amoeba Business Alliance", is a very, very old business alliance that existed in the era of "Hei".
Therefore, the new humans still know this basic information.
The older the civilization, especially the one that has been in the galaxy for more than tens of millions of years, the stronger it is. This is an inevitable event.
It is not because of the accumulation of scientific experience, nor because of the huge material and population, but because of... intellectual barriers.
The second screening in the universe!
If the interstellar civilization cannot pass the second screening in one go, it will inevitably decline after hitting the bottleneck, and it will not be able to exist for a long time in the endless flow of time.
This is the "law of increasing entropy" in the universe, a natural law that is difficult to violate!
Therefore, the founder of the "Amoeba Business Alliance"... the Amoeba civilization is likely to be an interstellar civilization above L4 that has broken through the second screening.
Such a civilization is truly powerful, and Yu Yifeng and others know it well.
The new human civilization just thinks that it has improved its IQ and passed this "bottleneck" in a "cheating" way. But the current side effects have already appeared, that is, the birth rate is low and people cannot afford to die.
As for other side effects, there may be none, or there may be... we don't know yet.
"So we speculate that the long-standing Amoeba civilization is at least an L5 or higher level civilization. If it is a declining civilization, it is impossible to support the interstellar market for a long time. When the benefits far outweigh the risks, the law of the jungle of the jungle still exists."
The current top combat power of the new humans is equivalent to a fleet of the old L3. At least, in terms of the quality of the flagship, it is no less than that of the old L3 civilization. It is just limited by the population, and the scale is far from enough.
Don't underestimate this point. Which L3 civilization has not developed for thousands of years? !
It is a remarkable achievement for the new humans to catch up in a short time...
So, the L3 fleet already has a certain self-protection ability.
From the perspective of cosmic war, escape is easier than destruction, so L2 can fight L4 once or twice; L3 can fight L4 back and forth, and will not be easily crushed.
But also because of the intellectual barrier, once the civilization crosses to L5, it is impossible to let the lower-level civilization take advantage so easily.
For example, an ordinary person with an IQ of 100 can communicate with a genius with an IQ of 200.
But an IQ of 100 cannot communicate with an alien with an IQ of 1000.
After breaking through the intellectual barrier, an IQ of 1000 is already a qualitative change, just like the gap between gorillas and humans. Every question that humans think of is difficult for gorillas to understand.
This difference has caused L5's various technological weapons to become incredible. How can they fight?
"How much can a civilization that has crossed the intellectual barrier improve its intelligence?"
This is the first doubt of the high-level people of the new human civilization. They don't know whether they have crossed it... At least the brains of superhumans are getting smarter and smarter, and everyone still has a lot of potential.
"Forget it, we don't need to think too much for the time being. Although the main civilization of the 'Amoeba Alliance' is advanced, it's hard to say about the members of the alliance." For safety, Yu Yifeng and others once had a very detailed discussion because of this transaction.
"Even in an alliance, technology cannot be shared."
"And... alliances generally implement a contribution system, and the technological strength of members is not equal."
"So the ones we met this time may be members of a lower level."
It is precisely for this reason that everyone has enough courage to trade.
At this time, Hei said in an uncertain tone: "It is said that this alliance only recruits... amoeba members, that is, intelligent creatures of the soft-bodied class. Well, they must not look very good... I mean, if, if the newly born intelligent creatures in the galaxy are all affected into human form, they can't recruit new members, will they be very angry?"
"So... we should not expose our appearance in the transaction... to avoid being unwarrantedly rebuked."
"Okay, let's remember this for now." Yu Yifeng nodded.
For a civilization, any unfavorable factors should be raised in advance. In case some ancient civilizations have a huge hatred for humanoid creatures, people can take precautions in advance to avoid suffering from unprovoked disasters.
In this way, the spacecraft returned one by one. After two months of careful preparation, basically all the machinery has been brought back.
Almost all small spaceships, whether scientific or functional, were parked in designated positions in the four large flagships.
The mothership "Home" was already full, with a large amount of supplies like mountains and seas. If it was loaded again, the living space in the "Noah" would have to be sacrificed.
The other three main ships also kept stuffing things in, as if they wanted to fit the entire planet in.
Yu Yifeng looked at the resource report, feeling extremely satisfied. He waved his hand and said generously: "... Is there really no room? These few nearly scrapped spaceships will not be needed. Leave them in Yufu 4. If the natives of Yufu 2 can land on this planet, it will be a small reward for them!"
The technology in the scrapped spaceships is more than a hundred years old, so don't use it.
The key is that the natives have to land on this planet, otherwise everything will be in vain.
The mothership "Home" is 50 kilometers long, slightly larger than the original Deep Space, but the use of a large number of nanomaterials and the use of controlled nuclear fusion technology to replace the bulky nuclear explosion furnace make its mass only one-third of the "Deep Space".
This means that the "Home" has higher maneuverability and can carry more items.
The most powerful combat weapon of these flagships of mankind is... "antimatter particle beam weapon".
This particle beam weapon uses "positrons" as a means of attack. The speed of the shell can be close to the speed of light. If it encounters an "ion shield", an annihilation reaction will occur, resulting in a huge explosion.
Therefore, it is impossible for the ion shield to block this new weapon.
Of course, the ion shield is still a good shield technology. People are quite clear about its principle. Simply put, it is to use dense high-speed ions, usually electrons or protons, under the action of a magnetic field to form a dense ion wall.
These high-speed electrons can absorb lasers and various energy weapons, and the effect is quite good.
But unfortunately, humans have not yet truly completed the ion shield technology.
Because it is very complex and has a great technical threshold, the entire magnetic field must be spread over the surface of the spacecraft, and the number of electrons that can be distinguished by the naked eye must be obtained. They must be allowed to move in a vacuum, but they must not be allowed to escape. The difficulty and energy consumption can be imagined.
The new humans have currently developed... "electromagnetic shields", which are simple versions of ion shields. The magnetic field can deflect some weapons, but the density of ions is relatively low, and the interception effect is average.
"Destruction is always easier than construction, and spears are always sharper than shields. Shield technology can only bully the weak. Facing enemies of the same level, it is better to develop more powerful lethality!"
Under the guidance of this thinking, the antimatter particle cannon, after years of research, has become the most powerful killing tool at present. Its huge energy consumption and complex structure are only equipped on four large main ships.
Yu Yifeng stood in the captain's room, and the screen showed four powerful flagships, and the time was counting down second by second.
"Report to the captain, all preparations are ready, please give instructions!"
"Let's go!"
With an order, the engine behind the spacecraft began to work, bright ion flames spurted out, and four large flagships flew in one direction at the same time.
"I order, turn on the ion engine with all your strength, the overload program will start after 30 seconds, and the load standard value will be pushed up to 300%!"
"Captain's order..."
The natives staying in Yufu 2 suddenly looked up at the sky, and several bright white spots appeared in the distance, which puzzled them.
The people didn't know, but the government was very clear that these top leaders were celebrating happily.
The president, who was in the lead, suddenly burst into tears: "Gone, these bad guys are finally gone!"
For more than a hundred years, even fools have discovered abnormalities.
When the president took office ambitiously and was told this huge secret by his predecessor, he almost peed his pants. It turned out that the inexplicable deaths of the previous presidents and so many strange and difficult things that happened... were because of these...
Now, this heartache has finally been removed.
"Mr. President, it's bad, it's bad!"
"What's the matter? General, you should know that this is great news for us." The president said slowly, obviously in a good mood.
Suddenly, in the conference room, all the TVs and the Internet popped up the same video, strange songs were loud, and several large spaceships were singing and setting sail.
"What's going on?!" The president was shocked.
The tall middle-aged man didn't care about this, and said anxiously: "A video of Yufu 4 is going viral on the Internet. It is said that... there are several alien spaceships left there!"
"What... Hurry up and block the news..."
...
Bug correction: Slightly increase the population birth rate in the previous chapter to prevent the population from decreasing after the aging of the first generation of superhumans.
