Chapter 717: Chapter 440: Born in the Universe, Life as Insignificant as Grass【6200 words】_3
Now that the Compound Eyes had revealed their intention to divide their forces, humanity decided to go against this strategy and concentrate their superior military strength, focusing on delivering a decisive blow.
The leadership of the Morning Wind Empire believed that if they could defeat a single fleet and seize its wreckage for in-depth analysis, quickly digesting the enemy’s technological achievents, they could gain a slight chance of victory in this five-thousand-light-year-deep war between civilizations.
The Morning Wind Empire had expanded its territory, not just for the sake of territory but to increase the strategic depth and prolong the war ti. Every additional day they gained increased their opportunities for a technological breakthrough in the war.
Now, mankind is already able to relatively accurately calculate the flight speed of angular battleships within the Milky Way Galaxy, about five to six hundred tis the speed of light.
This is a terrifying figure that humans can hope for but not reach.
Even with the scientists’ imagination, they could not understand why the enemy’s ships could freely move at speeds surpassing five hundred tis the speed of light.
According to scientists’ calculations, the maximum speed that curvature subspace could withstand following the gravity lines is only a hundred tis the speed of light.
Once this limit is exceeded, even the more stable subspace compared to three-dinsional space can no longer withstand the space vibrations caused by high-speed propulsion, leading to destruction.
Currently, the supercurved motion limit speed of human ships is twenty tis the speed of light, the main factor limiting performance being shield strength.
However, the scientists were not too disheartened, as it was natural for technology to lag, and humans could make up for the gap through the use of Stargates, sothing the Compound Eyes did not possess.
It would take the Prism Ships about twelve days to travel from Proxima Centauri to the nearest prosperous star system.
During these twelve days, the Morrowind Empire quickly completed the deploynt of troops and ford three different levels of fleet strengths, with heavy forces deployed in the eight core star zones.
The strongest fleet is located in Barnard’s Star System.
As one of the first civilizations with planetary systems at the sa level as Proxima Centauri, Barnard’s Star System initially developed only second to the Proxima Centauri System.
In these five hundred years, with the suppression of Proxima Centauri, Barnard’s Star System has risen in rank and now has a population of fifty billion.
Apart from developing and utilizing the existing planets in Barnard’s Star, humans have also built hundreds of large space stations with planetary functions.
The military forces of Barnard’s Star System, in addition to exploiting their advantage in Austrian Isotope 305 to manufacture the more powerful Austrian Giant Cannons, have also absorbed the unique resources of hundreds of planetary systems within five hundred light years and taken in the elite classes of so sub-level civilizations. By utilizing their respective strengths, they have ford a cross-civilization united fleet with humans as the absolute core.
Their fleet is reputed to be the strongest among all planetary system fleets in the eight core regions.
After integration and expansion, the latest Barnard’s Star Fleet has incorporated advanced battleships, the most powerful soldiers, and the most cutting-edge core technologies of the eight core war zones.
The fleet possesses a million cosmic-class battleships, billions of galactic-class large warships, more than ten billion Orion-class dium warships, and countless smaller warships and micro-fighters.
The fleet has a total troop capacity of one trillion.
The current population of mankind in the Orion Arm is thirty-five trillion.
This ans that one out of every thirty-five Orion Arm humans participates in the war as part of Barnard’s Star Fleet.
In addition to the manned warships, there are also an equal number of unmanned warships and small combat machines.
However, these assets are of slightly lower technology and are designed for more disposable roles in warfare.
Although the quantum network technology has developed rapidly, and humans seem to entrust more combat tasks to intelligent machines or remote control, it also seems to reduce personal losses.
It’s reasonable to think so.
But it’s extrely foolish.
Wars between civilizations in the cosmos are fundantally different from wars within the sa planet, sa civilization.
In internal wars, regardless of how the battles were fought, at least, they had a clear understanding of who the enemy was, their language, and how they communicated and thought.
However, in wars between different intelligent civilizations, every contact essentially represents the collision of two sowhat distinct cosmic life rules.
The essence of warfare between different civilizations is communication, albeit violent communication.
Only through direct engagent is mutual knowledge possible.
Before a real battle, nobody knows what their opponent is made of or what traits they possess.
A wrong step could lead to disaster.
For example, humans once discovered a sub-level civilization with innate quantum network communication abilities in the Orion Arm, which took over human quantum network devices as soon as they drew near.
Humanity had long known about the Compound Eyes’ strength and understood that Philosopher Harrison Clark had used eight tilines to gradually deepen his understanding of this unfamiliar enemy.
Every ti, the Compound Eyes would surprise Harrison Clark with new revelations.
No one knows where their limits lie or whether their surprises are still to co.
So, humanity doesn’t dare depend on quantum networks when facing the Compound Eyes in battle.
What if the enemy brought out sothing new, and the carefully crafted fleet suddenly turned into a gift to the enemy to stab themselves? What then?
Furthermore, since they were already at a disadvantage, hiding on planets or in space stations might not actually be safe.
If people were only concerned about their own safety and stayed hidden behind barriers, they might as well not be born at all.
