Chapter 322: Superficial mutual restraint
Although their tactics played a certain role in the beginning, because they had a large number of warships, it was difficult for players to evacuate safely after taking action.
Therefore, during that period, the frequency of players' attacks was significantly reduced, but who are the players?
As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures. After a few days, the players found a solution to their routine.
This group of players replaced the mutalisaurs originally used to cover the retreat with anti-matter banelings.
Although anti-matter banelings are much weaker than dark matter banelings, they are completely sufficient for this kind of small-scale combat.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, players still perform the same operation as before to output a wave first, and then wait until the enemy catches up and then all the banelings detonate.
This wave of operations frightened the fleet of the Star Ring Civilization so much that they no longer dared to pursue them. After all, if a group of them were to be blown up by this thing, they would suffer heavy losses.
When the enemy catches up, he fails to kill a few of them, but a large number of them are killed first, which is embarrassing.
All in all, players have been using all kinds of tricks during this period, which has disgusted the Star Ring civilization.
Although Star Ring Civilization was also thinking of various methods during this period, these routines were cracked one by one by the players.
It is even said that in order to deal with their various strategies during this period, there were many strategies up after completing this problem.
Then I started to analyze what kind of tactics these wild monsters would adopt next, so as to come up with countermeasures in advance.
As far as you guides are concerned, they just want to make money from this wave of traffic.
But what they didn't know was how much trouble their actions caused to the commanders of the Star Ring Civilization.
Although the commander of the Star Ring Civilization had guessed their general combat policy and made corresponding plans at this time, these small-scale operations did give it a huge headache.
If you don't care about this thing, they will come in groups to harass your support ships. You will also be disgusted and uncomfortable. If you want to drive the support ships away, you will fulfill their wishes and they will be happier.
If you don't drive away, you have to send patrols around to prevent them from harassing you.
Once patrols are dispatched, it means they may be harassed by players on a small scale.
If you don't send a patrol, he is also worried that if someone in a certain area organizes a large-scale war and directly destroys your support ship, the loss will be even greater.
So after much thought, the commander gathered all the support ships together.
And all the foreign warships were called back to stop the players' harassment tactics. It was only at this time that the situation in front of them changed relatively.
But so far, counting the battle damage caused by various harassment by previous players, the Star Ring Civilization has lost nearly 50,000 battleships.
The players' battle losses were only about 10,000.
This kind of one-to-five record is considered very rare against civilizations with similar strengths.
If we include the 150,000 battleships lost by the Halo Civilization in their first large-scale battle, after these two waves, the players have sent away a total of more than 200,000 battleships from the Halo Civilization.
As of now, the total losses of players do not exceed 100,000 at most.
If this situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before the players finally want to take down the Star Ring Civilization.
However, after the Star Ring Civilization changed its overall tactics this time, the players felt uncomfortable.
After all, in the current situation, if they still want to be like before, a sneak attack is obviously impossible.
And during this period of time, players have often discovered that many reconnaissance ships of the Star Ring Civilization have flown to an area two or three light years away from their stronghold.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before they are found.
At this time, No. 1 issued a retreat order.
This time No. 1 asked them to retreat to a temporary stronghold five hundred light-years away and continue to find ways to connect with the Halo civilization.
Some time passed like this.
Although during this period of time, the players were more careful every time they organized an attack and retreat, they were still tracked by the Star Ring Civilization's reconnaissance ship.
And when the Star Ring Civilization's reconnaissance ship determined the players' current location, they naturally refused to let the players go.
So without saying a word, they immediately started the jump and headed towards the players to kill them.
Faced with the menacing Star Ring Civilization, No. 1 immediately ordered a retreat.
In this war, No. 1 never thought of confronting the Star Ring Civilization head-on.
Because there are now at least 500,000 warships in the Star Ring Civilization, if players really want to fight head-on with the current number of players, they will definitely lose.
He is now going to use this method to lead the Star Ring Civilization into his ambush circle step by step.
As many battleships as possible can be destroyed on the way from the Star Ring Civilization.
The real decisive battle will not officially begin until the players reach his home planet.
Of course, there is a reason why he adopted this method to seduce her step by step.
Because No. 1 knows that if he leads the enemy here in one step, even a fool can think that there is an ambush here.
They definitely couldn't be fooled, so he could only use this illusion of escape to seduce him along the way.
Moreover, he seriously doubted that his plan had been guessed by the other party's commander.
It is even possible that their behavior is intentional.
But No. 1 knew very well that it didn't matter even if his plan was known to the other party, because the focus of his plan now was not the decisive battle on the home planet.
Now the commanders of No. 1 and Starlink Civilization all have their own little Jiujiu. At this moment, they are competing to see who can lose their composure first.
In this way, under the command of No. 1, the players retreated all the way to consume the enemy.
At present, both sides are looking for loopholes in their enemies.
Because if they are often gathered together, it will be very embarrassing if the enemy finds them and takes over them all at once.
So after careful consideration, No. 1 decided to let the players take another approach.
Every 100 bugs form a team and can freely find hiding places.
In this way, even if the enemy finds the stronghold, the loss will not be too great, and you can continue to consume the enemy.
The enemies also gain experience with the players. Once the players are relatively scattered, the enemies will immediately gather together.
Although this routine is simple, it is undoubtedly the most useful for them. Stay near the support ship and slowly advance forward. Once a problem occurs, they can immediately carry out supplies and maintenance. They don't need to worry about consumption at all.
They're not worried and neither are the players.
Players here mainly rely on the insect's own strong recovery ability, and in addition, it can also deal with the enemy by devouring matter to restore energy.
Although the phagocytic energy recovered from devoured substances is very slow, players are not engaged in long-term high-pressure operations, so the requirements for the amount of phagocytic energy recovery are not that high.
In short, the two sides have now entered a stalemate with each other.
What the players don’t know at this time is that they are inside the Star Ring Civilization Fleet.
Looking at the advancing fleet, the commander-in-chief of the Star Ring Civilization could not help but sneer, "I have to say, there are some things about this Zerg that surprise me."
After this period of observation, the commander-in-chief of the Star Ring Civilization can basically determine the tactics of the insect swarm.
"According to the information we have received, this Zerg is a race with certain intelligence.
But in my eyes, their cunning and cleverness are just things that cannot be put on the table, but now this battle really makes me look at them with admiration. ”
After hearing the commander-in-chief's words, the adjutant next to him looked at him in surprise. It was obvious that he did not notice any special actions by the Zerg during this period.
Of course, the commander-in-chief was also very aware that the adjutant in front of him would behave like this.
In the final analysis, he is able to perform as well as he does now simply because he relies too much on artificial intelligence, which limits his imagination.
Although artificial intelligence plays a huge role in combat, it also has a very big flaw, that is, its logical thinking ability and imagination cannot be compared with humans.
In addition to logical thinking ability, there is also the control of people's hearts and other things. The analysis of artificial intelligence is not very thorough, although it will make a general analysis result of various possibilities.
But such behavior is not only meaningless in the eyes of this commander, but also limits people's imagination.
Because when you are used to making choices instead of thinking, you have lost the most important and useful ability as a human being.
Most commanders in the entire civilization now have a bad habit. They usually rely on the analysis results of artificial intelligence for the enemy's actions.
For example, if artificial intelligence gives two results, one with an 80% probability and the other with a 20% probability, they will choose the 80% probability without hesitation.
Although if you follow the 80% plan, the final result will not be too bad, but who can guarantee that there will be no other extension possibilities for the 20% plan?
In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, artificial intelligence has limited the capabilities of these commanders to a certain extent, but he has no way to change the status quo.
Because this is due to their civilized environment.
In fact, these commanders were considered the best in the civilization at the beginning. They became commanders only after passing many levels of selection and training.
And when they became commanders, they gradually began to degrade during the long-term cooperation with artificial intelligence.
Of course, the degradation here refers to the degradation of thinking. They rely more and more on artificial intelligence.
Of course, these commanders are actually aware that relying too much on artificial intelligence will lead to a decline in their thinking abilities.
But they had to do it even though they knew the disadvantages.
Because they are afraid of failure.
Because they all know that once a major mistake is made, their position will not be guaranteed, and all their efforts over the years will be in vain.
It is for this reason that they chose to rely on artificial intelligence.
Although the solution given by artificial intelligence may not be the best solution for the current scenario, it must be the solution that minimizes battle losses.
Regarding this issue, the top leaders of the Star Ring Civilization naturally know about it.
But they have no choice but to deal with the current situation, because this matter has become the norm for each commander.
If they are suddenly restricted from using artificial intelligence, the overall combat effectiveness will decline even more seriously.
Of course, they have also thought about replacing all these commanders who rely on artificial intelligence, but they can only think about this method.
After all, there are many commanders with higher authority than them.
And even if their authority is not as high as theirs, if they want to force a replacement, it will have a very big impact on the mentality of other people participating in the commander competition in the civilization.
After all, if an iron rice bowl like this is banned, then how many people will be willing to fight for this path in the future?
Especially given the current status of their civilization, these policies and systems must not be changed.
Because their civilization has gone through a long time, although they now have a certain strength.
And now that they have such huge giant creations, even if foreign civilizations discover them, they would not dare to take action.
After all, a civilization that can possess such a level of building must be very powerful.
Before there is absolute certainty, the discoverer will most likely try his best to hide himself.
It is also because of the protection of this huge star ring that their civilization has not had wars for thousands of years.
And according to some experts within their civilization, if they don't take the initiative, this situation may last forever.
After all, in this universe, there are not many civilizations that can surpass them in technological level.
And the possibility of these few civilizations finding them in the vast universe is naturally very low.
Although it is a good thing for a civilization to develop peacefully and steadily, this is only limited to developing civilizations, not civilizations like theirs that have entered a bottleneck period.
This is just like when you play a game. When you are still at level one, you will be thinking about how to improve your level, how to match the lineup, how to match the equipment, etc. At this time, your desire to play the game is very Big ones.
But when you reach the peak, that is, you have everything you should have and have graduated perfectly.
After reaching this stage, many things will no longer make sense to you, and you will no longer find the joy of development in the first place.
The same thing would be very problematic when it comes to civilization.
Because the technology and strength of the Star Ring Civilization have reached a certain critical point, and they have not found a way to break through.
So now their entire civilization has stopped at this period. After this period, creativity will naturally decline. While creativity declines, many problems will also arise.
Because they have not experienced the baptism of war for a long time, their military expenditures have also been reduced in various ways.
And in addition to this, this civilization also has a natural enemy, which is ultra-high technology and ultra-high application technology.
