Phew... A huge spaceship slowed down in space, just a little bit; but during the process of decelerating, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the center of the spacecraft, and something inside crashed, rushing in at the original speed and inertia of the spacecraft. in space. Needless to say, this is China's detector deployed (dumped) into space like garbage. There are too many behemoths in the starry sky here, there are too many lives here, and the understanding of this starry sky is too little. Therefore, China has to deploy a large number of detectors into space and wants to understand it as soon as possible. the environment around you.
After these detectors were sent out, no one took care of them at all - this thing is too cheap and too much for China; a group of four spacecraft with void smelting technology can smelt one in a day for about 10,000 Kilometer-diameter rocky planets, and then more than trillions of detectors, large and small, can be produced; and such a combination of void smelting technologies, there are at least thousands of them within China's current control range!
Countless detectors are thrown all over the space like garbage, which is basically irregular. Anyway, China only needs to throw these detectors outward along the diameter within the current control range of China; and the behavior of the detectors is not controlled. Totally laissez-faire! It is just a matter of simply adjusting the angle of these detectors to prevent them from attracting each other in the gravity-free space and eventually re-forming into a planet.
Some detectors don't even have the slightest power system. They only have an energy block or "energy sheet" the size of a fingernail that provides simple functions. They just float in space without power. They will follow the gravity between the stars. Rely on your own inertia to explore in space. Some detectors are also set with random rules - the so-called random rules allow these detectors to drift irregularly in space, occasionally exploding their thrusters and changing direction like a gust of wind.
Of course, there are also some unmanned spacecraft with more comprehensive functions that will serve as signal transfer stations for various detectors. The characteristics of the detector are: simple structure and low price, but because of its single function, its unilateral capabilities are also very powerful. The characteristic of the unmanned spacecraft is a mobile semi-intelligent machine. It can replace people in lonely exploration in space, and simply manage and control these detectors, and even serve as a signal transfer station. Most detectors have a single function, including weak signal transmission capabilities - simple light speed electromagnetic Signal transmission can no longer meet the development needs of mankind, which requires more powerful unmanned spacecraft to provide central support. There are even some unmanned spacecrafts launched from special starry sky locations that have simple detector search and repair capabilities.
But with China’s current technology. Even unmanned spacecraft are not that valuable anymore - at least these mass-produced unmanned spacecraft for exploration are not valuable; and this time the all-conquering crab boss saw these detectors, and it was a relatively clear one. These detectors have been separated here, but after all, they have not strayed too far away, and these detectors are still relatively close to each other.
"Catch up and get a few back to see!" The big leader immediately discovered that he had never seen these things before - maybe they were Chinese things.
The speed of these unmanned spacecraft and detectors is not very fast, only a few hundred kilometers per second - not all detectors are moving at high speed. After all, the function of the detector is to detect and not to rush.
It's just that the detectors are not big for humans, let alone compared to the behemoths in the starry sky. Even if a few unmanned spacecraft are placed in front of the all-conquering big boss, they are still as small as humans looking at ants. But the All-Conquering Big Boss doesn't study the structure of these things. But to study whether this thing is the so-called "Chinese". After dismantling several unmanned spaceships, the big boss discovered that these things could not be life. In other words, these things that had always been considered "Chinese" were simply strange tools!
So what is a "Chinese"? This is a profound question for the starry sky beast!
The invincible leader continued to lead his men forward, and finally they arrived at the boundary of China's current control area. Of course, they also saw several spaceships coming to greet them - China had never underestimated their wisdom when it came to the behemoths in the starry sky. Knowing that if you expand like this, the other party will definitely take action. It may be a war, it may be a messenger, but no matter what, it is certain that a "beast" will come.
Chen Zhonghua controls a huge, weird spaceship alone - the spaceship is actually not big, but it is a bit huge compared to the size of a human! This is the latest spaceship, but it is named with an ancient name: fighter! Of course the name is old, but that doesn't mean the technology is old; this is a fighter jet that only one person can fly, an interstellar fighter jet. This kind of fighter is strictly speaking. It is a new technology between mecha and spaceship technology, filling the gap between spaceship and mecha.
As Chinese civilization has officially crossed the threshold of the sixth-level civilization, technology has of course also developed by leaps and bounds; therefore, an ancient concept has been re-proposed - fighter jets! As technology develops, do we dig out old ideas again? Yes, you heard it right; because technology has evolved. So some old concepts are likely to be revived - note that it is concepts rather than technologies.
The reason why the concept of fighter jets was re-proposed, or dug out, was due to practical reasons.
First of all, "fighting mechas" are of course powerful, but the cost of building a powerful fighting mech is also staggering; and the requirements that mechas place on pilots are so high that even elite soldiers are dumbfounded - with the development of technology, mechas Of course it has also developed; and the development of mechas means stronger power and more operations, which requires a stronger body, a stronger spirit, more knowledge, etc. As Zhang Jingyuan said, the foundation of technological development is people themselves; and mechas are machines that take this concept to the extreme! Anyway, technology is always improving, and the advancement of mecha technology means that the qualification threshold for driving mechas is also constantly rising.
Only the elite among the elite can truly control the latest mecha; and if you cannot fully control the latest mecha, or exert more than 20% of the functions of the new mecha, you will only become a target targeted by intelligent computers! Because computers are also developing - China's current development is somewhat "contradictory" - it constantly competes with its own "spear" and its own "shield", and then allows different scientific research groups to compete in such fierce competition. progress. There is quite a bit of "left and right fighting" in the development of science and technology!
This development concept has proven to be effective and can greatly promote the self-improvement of China's science and technology; but at the same time, it has also caused great pressure on society. The Chinese civilization has just crossed the threshold of level six civilization and has just completed the great interstellar migration. What brings to its citizens is tremendous pressure in the context of the times. Such huge pressure makes the Chinese civilization that has just completed its migration even somewhat breathless - but this is a threshold that the Chinese civilization must cross!
For example:
Strictly speaking, old mechas are not unusable, but the country forces them not to be used. This sounds ridiculous - why can't good mechas be used? Was it handled so cheaply? The answer from the empire's top officials was simple: move forward! For the empire to progress from every point, the backward must be eliminated - and "backwardness" itself. That’s the biggest reason! Therefore, even if not many people can control the latest mecha, it must be given to me! It is necessary to stimulate and reasonably induce Chinese civilization to climb upward as a whole.
Chinese civilization has its own definition of the seventh-level civilization: spiritual detachment; and if the spirit wants to be raised to a sufficient level, it must struggle, struggle endlessly, and move forward courageously. The mecha is a product that represents the pinnacle of the empire's humanities and science. It is a directional technology, so it must be updated at all times.
The empire's strategic technicians use mechas to guide future development.
Upon closer inspection, the collapse of the Milky Way actually deeply stimulated the Chinese civilization, forcing high-level officials to use certain means to intervene in the development of civilization. But the development of civilization cannot be faked—you can’t lie to yourself, so the country thinks about it over and over again. Forcibly updating mechas is a good inducement method - but once intervention is used, it means bringing huge pressure to society.
Want to pilot a more powerful mecha? No problem. So, have you passed the test in terms of physical fitness and mental strength (cultivation)? It’s not enough to pass the test, otherwise, the human body will be as fragile as an egg during the movement of the mecha; if the mental strength is not enough, the brain will be burned out like an overloaded chip! Combat mechas are not civilian mechas or scientific research mechas. The pursuit is ultimate combat power. If civilian mechas, scientific research mechas and "convenience" design ideas are included in them, then the combat mecha is a pure essence without any tricks - convenience means slow response! Civilian mechas are assisted by semi-intelligent computers; while the core computer of combat mechas is—people themselves! There is no intermediate semi-intelligent computer as a threshold. This greatly increases the reaction speed of the mecha; but this places great demands on mental strength.
However, a large number of "backward" mechas have been eliminated or even swept out of the armament sequence, which will inevitably lead to the weakness of military strength. Under such circumstances, a concept that approximates a compromise with reality has been proposed: personal fighter jets, one by one. A fighter that can be controlled by up to three or five people. This kind of fighter is not as flexible as a mecha, but it is much more flexible than a spaceship - flexibility is one of the souls of military technology. This kind of fighter can be very large, with power systems all over its body, and is as flexible as a petrel in the starry sky; in fact, this kind of fighter is also prepared by humans for the giant beasts in the starry sky. And because this fighter concept does not affect the empire's "civilization progress plan", it is also much more flexible. For example, as long as soldiers can control it, no one will care if they are made in the shape of a hydra or a thousand-legged centipede.
Therefore, most of these fighter jets are in the shape of beasts. People who fly such fighter jets prefer to call them: non-human form mechas, or simply beast-shaped mechas.
Because mechas in human form need to retain the flexibility of humans, conform to humanistic ideas, and promote the evolution of humans, real fighting mechas will basically not exceed a height of 35 meters; however, animal-shaped mechas can reach more than a dozen heights. Kilometer size! Basically. It is to add simple joints to a relatively sturdy spacecraft. These joints can be wings, claws, various flexibly rotating muzzles, etc. The driving requirements for such beast-shaped mechas and fighter jets are much lower, and can even be assisted by multiple semi-intelligent computers; and because the body is huge, many weapons can be placed.
If you don't pursue sophistication, such animal-shaped mechas will be more powerful, easier to produce, and easier to control; but the greatest significance of human-shaped mechas, that is, real mechas, lies in the word "elite".
The powerful humanoid mecha is a sharp knife that can pierce the heart of its enemies with ease. Similarly, because the humanoid mecha is the most natural form of human beings, it can also be completely accepted by people from soul to heart to body. Moreover, mechas can amplify human abilities thousands or even tens of thousands of times, allowing elites to feel another level of power in advance, which in turn will help drive their own breakthroughs.
The core of the sixth-level civilization is the "technological feedback person", and mecha is the best feedback and interaction technology. Therefore, mecha technology is the top priority in current development; and for this reason, even if Chen Zhonghua's physical condition is slightly worse, he can still only fly fighter jets and animal-shaped mechas. Fortunately, my fighter jet can transform! The wings are retracted, the claws are retracted, and the head is retracted. It looks no different from an ordinary small spacecraft; but in fact, it is a steel falcon that is ten kilometers in size when unfolded. In fact, as a new generation born after China settled in the Andromeda Galaxy, Chen Zhonghua reached the status of a Nascent Soul master at the age of less than 20 years old, which is already remarkable; but he is still a little short of the requirements for driving a combat mecha: Nascent Soul's cultivation level is sufficient, but it grows too fast and does not have enough control over its own power.
Seeing the huge starry sky beast in front of him reminded Chen Zhonghua of the above information; and this information also stimulated Chen Zhonghua even more, making Chen Zhonghua determined to become a true elite!
Chen Zhonghua led his small team, a total of 50 fighter jets, to greet them. After the all-conquering crab leader arrived nearby, Huaxia had already detected their presence, not to mention that these crabs had even passed by the detector. As for Chen Zhonghua, who happened to be patrolling here, he didn't receive a temporary order and came to try to make contact - this opponent only had 14 giant beasts, and it seemed that he was not here to fight.
Sure enough, just when the two sides could even see each other, that is, when the distance was less than 100,000 kilometers, they both began to slow down.
In the end, Chen Zhonghua led his 50 fighter formations to officially meet the opponent's 14 starry sky beasts.
These 14 starry sky behemoths, the smallest one is 300 kilometers in size, and the largest one is over a thousand kilometers - they are the invincible big boss; they look like 14 planets advancing in space.
Among Chen Zhonghua's 50 fighter formations, the largest fighter is only 30 kilometers away, and the smallest is less than 100 meters! In front of these starry behemoths, fighter jets are like mosquitoes.
But seeing these "mosquitoes", the invincible leader was not reckless, but slowly stretched out his mental power to spread forward; as expected, when it spread to half the distance, a more tenacious mental power came from the opposite side. come over!
This feeling of spiritual power - very little in quantity, but very high in quality! The inexplicable crab leader feels that he is the interstellar gas, and the other party is like a meteorite; the interstellar gas looks like a huge piece, but in fact there is not much there; the meteorite does not look big, but it is stronger than the interstellar gas. How many!
The inexplicable crisis jumped out of the mind of the invincible commander at the moment when the two sides' spiritual powers came into contact.
As soon as the spiritual power came into contact, the two sides communicated directly in the spiritual power space, which completely shocked the invincible commander. This is the real "human"!
The invincible general saw the tiny life on the ground struggling constantly. They were born small, but they gradually conquered the earth, the ocean, the sky, then the planet where they were born, and finally embarked on the road to conquer the starry sky. ; And now, they are here to conquer it!
The tiny body contains unparalleled domineering power! I came here to conquer! (To be continued...)
ps: (This chapter is actually very condensed. If you expand it, it would be easy to write 30,000 to 50,000 words. However, the plot drags on too much. Alas... this is the only way; there will probably be more in the Great Civilization Federation later. Write. )
