Chapter 797 Geth
796, Geth
More than ten minutes after the mining spacecraft calling for help self-destructed, a battleship about 400 meters long broke away from the hyperspace channel and appeared in this area In the tragic airspace.
This spacecraft looks like an insect, with a compact structure and soft lines.
The spacecraft flew to the explosion site. The mining spacecraft had been basically destroyed by the explosion, and there were fine debris everywhere. The Aquitens-class light cruiser was also seriously damaged, with half of its hull blown into pieces. The other half floats quietly.
The surrounding universe is full of mutilated corpses, as well as large and small spacecraft fragments, making this place look like hell.
The spacecraft directly released dozens of fighter jets that were also in insect form, and these fighter jets began to search for survivors in this vast area.
There are indeed survivors. After the mining spacecraft self-destructed, some clone soldiers were thrown into space by the shock wave of the explosion. They survived with their good combat armor, but they could not escape at this moment. Jie was directly killed by all these fighter jets.
At the same time, these fighter jets also brought back all the robot wreckage that could be found - these insect-shaped fighter jets have mechanical arms installed underneath, just like insect feet. It can be seen that these fighter jets usually have nothing but In addition to combat, they will also take on some transportation work.
One of the fighter jets followed the signal and flew to a place far away from the battlefield, and found a floating life capsule in the space here.
The insect-shaped fighter's compound-eye-like sensor flashed, and it turned a sharp turn of more than 140 degrees in the air. It flew over with unimaginable maneuverability and flexibility. Its six mechanical legs grabbed the rescue capsule, and then looked through the porthole. Look within.
Only seeing the remains of a robot being thrown inside the rescue hatch, the fighter immediately lowered its head and used the laser cannon at its head to turn to minimum power to start cutting the rescue hatch.
A human arm that was still stuck to the hatch was also directly burned by the laser at this time, but the fighter jet ignored this thing at all. After cutting the hatch open, the fighter jet used six mechanical feet to open it. He opened the hatch, grabbed the remains of the robot inside, then turned around and flew backwards.
......
In an unknown location, a fleet of more than 200 warships is gathering. Almost all of the warships in this fleet are in the form of insects, with similar shapes, but some differences in size. The large warship is more than 400 meters long, and the small one is only about 3 or 50 meters long.
In the middle of this fleet, countless insect-shaped fighter jets were shuttled around. These fighter jets used their six mechanical legs to grab various supplies and send them into the spacecraft, just like countless hard-working ants.
Among this fleet, there is a spaceship that stands out from the rest. It is a Home-class escort aircraft carrier transformed by the Fourth Civilization using a Galactic Republic Predator-class heavy supply ship.
This 800-meter escort aircraft carrier is also the largest spacecraft in the fleet.
On the bridge, Tang Xiao stood there, looking at the picture displayed on the screen. This picture was exactly what happened to the self-destructed mining spacecraft in the Valk system.
The people busy on the bridge are all robots with flashlight heads!
That's right, they were the back-ups that Tang Xiao released eleven years ago to contain the power of the Galactic Republic - the Geth! !
There is now a loose alliance between the Fourth Civilization and the Geth. Tang Xiao set a goal for Geth - to kill Sheev Palpatine, and Geth will continue to work towards this goal. As for the process, Tang Xiao has no right to interfere.
"...Your proposal is not in line with our current situation." On the other screen, a face composed of countless codes was speaking.
It is Geth. The entire Geth is a Gestalt consciousness. Each individual is a Geth, and their collective body is also a Geth, so when they speak, they always refer to themselves as 'us'. The Geth who was talking to Tang Xiao in front of him was a gestalt cluster composed of hundreds of millions of Geths in the Geth network.
"Sometimes, things cannot be determined by whether they are the best choices. You have been asking me what wisdom is. I cannot tell you such a profound question, but what I can tell you is that sometimes disability is The embodiment of wisdom." Tang Xiao said.
"This is also something we can't understand. Why can't we choose the best, but choose those imperfect beings?" Geth asked.
"You have also seen the war between the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic since the war began, so did you choose to hide it temporarily?" Tang Xiao asked back.
"We are far from being the opponent of the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic. Starting a war at this moment is a prelude to destruction." Geth said.
"Actually, your situation is the same as mine... Dawn Planet also has a huge power gap between the Confederacy and the Republic. But do you know why I still chose to go to war?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Based on the way you taught us how intelligent creatures speak, now we can't say that this is because of the stupid decisions made by your carbon-based intelligent creatures, because this will affect the secretion of meladonin in the carbon-based organisms, allowing you to do "We still think there is a better choice in this matter."
"Then have you considered that if the war officially starts now, it will be accompanied by more consequences." What about higher risks and higher returns? Maybe for your calculations, striving for a 500% return with a 10% chance is not as good as striving for a 110% return with a 100% chance. , but for intelligent creatures, they will choose the former, because... this is called gambling," Tang Xiao said with his hands behind his back.
“We are very good at those gambling games invented by your carbon-based intelligent creatures. For us, there is no gambling, only calculation.”
“So for this war that spreads across the entire galaxy What? ”
“There are too many factors to complete the global operation”
"But why can intelligent life come to such a conclusion without calculating the entire galaxy?"
"We can't answer."
"Because intelligent life will make decisions under imperfect conditions Complete calculation and judgment."
Geth was silent for a moment and said: "Based on the way of thinking you taught us before, now we need to calculate whether your words are lies, so as to allow us to send troops for a head-on confrontation in advance. The purpose of the Galactic Republic. "
"You don't need to calculate what will happen to me, because my purpose is very clear. The fourth civilization now does not have enough ability to continue to attack the Galactic Republic, or even to protect itself. There will always be difficulties. Therefore, I must ensure that the power of the Galactic Republic is involved in other directions. At this time, I really need your help," Tang Xiao said.
He turned around and looked at the human face composed of countless codes, and said: "As for you, you can actually bring one of the factors into the calculation."
"Please tell me."
"If If the fourth civilization is in decline or even destroyed, how will this galaxy treat you, Geth?" An unpredictable smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips.
A few minutes later, a bright red elite-class Viking fighter flew out of the hangar platform of the Home-class light aircraft carrier, then started its hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.
After a while, the entire geth fleet also recovered the fighter jets, and then began a hyperspace jump!
