Chapter 3057 Digital Warfare
On the fourth day after the fleet set sail, news came from the front line: Fighters from the cultivator civilization were suspected to have appeared in the Ecstasy Corridor!
Feng Jun and the others have collected most of their consciousness, and there are only three or four days left to complete the work. Suddenly they heard the news from Yong Ye, and they were a little confused: How could the Tianqin cultivators get to the Corridor of Ecstasy?
The Corridor of Ecstasy is different from the direction in which the Tianqin cultivators come into contact with the Federation. It cannot be said that they are completely opposite to each other, but they are basically opposite. Feng Jun really can't imagine how the Tianqin cultivators can appear on the other side - you must know the galaxy occupied by the Federation. It's really too much.
But...it doesn't matter. The Tianqin cultivators are targeting the Zerg. If the other party takes any actions, everyone can just follow them and hunt them down. Is it necessary to inform all the cultivators about this trivial matter?
So they didn't take it seriously and just listened to it as news. After a few days, the consciousness bodies were collected, but Yong Ye still fought at the front with an independent consciousness. Feng Jun and others discussed: Let's go over and have a look. Bar.
However, it will take some time for them to rush over, and it will also take some time for Yongye's main consciousness to rush over. Digital life may sound omnipotent, but in fact, the vastness of the galaxy will still seriously affect the speed of the spread of consciousness.
It was two days later when they rushed over, and Yongye's many consciousnesses fought very beautifully here. They actually killed two Nascent Soul-level bugs, seriously injured three, and gained countless others.
Two division-level combat units killed two Nascent Soul bugs. The achievement is not too impressive, but the key is that no one died, and three were seriously injured. This is a pretty impressive achievement - federal soldiers are not afraid of death, but Every life is precious.
What is a bit criticized is that a lot of equipment is lost. This is also a characteristic of digital life battles. If you can kill the enemy with a large amount of equipment, why sacrifice your life?
Moreover, the battle damage rate of the equipment of the two division-level fleets is too high. In response to this problem, the Federation has already made certain estimates from the beginning. They know Yongye's fighting style better, so they are equipped with three times the basic number of weapons. Human weapons.
However, these three times of unmanned weapons now only have half the base left. There is no way, Yong Ye is too used to fighting for equipment.
Not a single commander or fighter died, which is definitely a good thing, but doubling the consumption is not enough. This is really too much of the federation's overall strength, so in terms of cost alone, such a battle is not only a loss of money, but also a loss of blood.
Of course, when it comes to the struggle for living space, we cannot describe it in terms of losing money or not. We must fight if we can bite the bullet, but if we fight like this, the federation cannot afford to lose. We don’t have to wait for the bugs to kill us, and we will kill ourselves.
There is also a solution, which is to use a large number of robots to manufacture products, which can reduce labor costs, but consumes a huge amount of resources. This contradiction is currently unsolvable.
The Federation's planning in this area is very forward-looking. They believe that although the universe is large, resources are ultimately limited. For the sake of future generations, it is better to use them sparingly - even if they lose the war with the Zerg, future generations may It's no longer useful.
However, Yongye believes that resources are all excuses. After the old resources are used up, new ones will be discovered. The power of technology is unstoppable. In the final analysis, the human race is worried that if robots are used in large quantities, independent personalities will appear again. intelligent.
In other words, if it is managed by it, the Federation will worry about it cultivating a private army - this is almost inevitable.
Therefore, although its combat performance is acceptable, it is only acceptable. The key is... it is not generalizable.
However, when Feng Jun thought about it, Yong Ye might be a little embarrassed, because his previous judgment was that Yong Ye had to kneel down when he met a golden elixir insect. As a result, he has killed two Nascent Souls... or some small ones. The conscious body takes action.
Yong Ye killed Yuanying without even showing up. His conclusion seemed to be slapped in the face by the facts.
However, Yongye doesn't think so. Its IQ is not that superficial.
It carefully analyzed the messages coming from each sub-consciousness, and actually said to Feng Jun very solemnly, "Thank you for the reminder. I really didn't expect these bugs to be so good at mind attacks."
The battle losses counted by the Federation are only those of the Federation. Yong Ye knows best how much consciousness he has lost. The Federation feels that the loss is quite large, but he does not know that Yong Ye is also shivering.
This thing...how do I put it? The Zerg treated this fleet the same way they treated the Federation, so Yongye's sub-consciousness was not specifically targeted, and they were treated as ordinary federal troops.
In fact, this was the first collision between two unfamiliar opponents. The difference was that Yong Ye had some mental preparation, while the Zerg had no mental preparation at all, so Yong Ye's record was pretty good.
Of course, it has also discovered some problems of its own. Many of its tactics are relatively old. Although many cluster attacks have successfully protected its own soldiers, the cost performance is a bit low...it can even be said to be a tactical failure.
There is definitely something that can be improved here, and then the combat ability can be greatly improved. However, this is not what Yong Ye cares about most. What he cares about most is that more than 80% of the sub-consciousness has been directly wiped out.
That's right, it wasn't destroyed, but directly obliterated. Many of the devices that contained the consciousness were still there, but after being attacked by the bug's thoughts, those consciousnesses disappeared - yes, the bug could really do this.
During the battle, these sub-consciousnesses also noticed that the federal commanders and observers all wore shielding helmets, which could act as a very effective shield against conscious attacks from bugs.
Before that, because the battleship itself was able to shield consciousness attacks, Yong Ye's sub-consciousnesses were prepared to a certain extent, but they did not pay too much attention to it. But the bad thing was that once the shielding was broken, those sub-consciousnesses were basically undefended.
From this point of view, the Federation actually cheated Yongye and did not remind it to beware of Zerg consciousness attacks. Although this point has been mentioned many times in the information they provided, but... they did not emphasize their own shielding consciousness. The ability to attack.
Especially for the shielding of individual soldiers' equipment, everyone in the Federation has a share, but Yong Ye's share of consciousness has not been enjoyed.
After Yong Ye's sub-consciousness noticed this, he also requested to install consciousness-shielding equipment for himself. However, the effectiveness of artificial intelligence is also reflected in the transmission of consciousness. The Federation stated that partial shielding can be done. If it is completely shielded... What are you doing?
The conscious beings were furious about this, saying that the federation had not warned them before, and the supply of equipment was not thorough now. What was the difference between selling out their comrades?
The Federation is also very aggrieved, saying that we have always focused on personal protection of individual soldiers. We have also designed and developed certain intelligence protection, but it is far from the mature stage of technology. Even trial products... are not available for the time being.
As for not reminding you before - this is to protect the consciousness, and the target is not just the Zerg. What kind of person are you originally? Don't you have some idea in your mind?
Your participation in the war is just part of the transaction, so how can we tell you our high-end secrets?
Of course, because the consciousnesses reacted very fiercely and fought very hard, the federation's little thoughts were exposed, and they could no longer refuse, so they also put some protective equipment on these devices - in fact, there were some originally, but there were more Installed several times.
Even with such crude equipment, the losses of consciousness bodies are greatly reduced. In fact, as long as these fragments of consciousness are not wiped out on the spot, it is not a problem to find a place to slowly recover - of course, sufficient computing power and energy support are required.
After Yongye's main consciousness came back, although he felt a little sad for the loss of his consciousness, it didn't really matter - fighting, how could there be no loss? Just go back and continue splitting and copying.
But the Zerg's ability to attack and obliterate the conscious body completely frightened it. To be fair, the intensity of obliteration was average, but with the ability to obliterate, it was scary enough.
Before Yongye met Feng Jun and his party, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net had never considered that his consciousness could be erased so easily, and the appearance of the insect told him that this was not an exception, you There are big flaws in the life form.
As for the fact that the Federation can shield mental attacks, Yong Ye thinks... it's a good thing, but this in itself means to be wary of it. Secondly, this kind of protection is not only not omnipotent, but also limits some of its abilities.
Combining all these cognitions, it does not feel that killing two Nascent Soul bugs will make it awkward in front of Feng Jun. On the contrary, it feels that it is necessary to have a good relationship with Feng Jun and others.
Yongye has always believed that the most powerful thing about digital life is not the existence of pure consciousness, but its super learning ability. Its most important thing at the moment is to learn enough life-saving means, not to be a cultivator. Show off in front of civilization.
This is the only known civilization that can provide it with the knowledge of conscious attack and defense. How dare it deliberately offend?
Feng Jun was concerned about his little penguin. It was okay after all. Although the little penguin was also attacked, it was relatively late. At that time, the consciousnesses had already felt the power of the mental attack and gained some protection. equipment.
The priority of these equipment is to supply the little penguin. After all, those sub-consciousnesses understand how important the little penguin occupies in the main consciousness, and if it dies, it will really die, unlike they can reproduce again. come out.
Because it has been taken care of, and Feng Jun has condensed its cultivation to the early stage of the world, the little penguin's ability to resist attacks has also been greatly enhanced, so although it was attacked, it was only "heavily injured" and was not wiped out. .
Yong Ye knew very well that Feng Jun would probably be unhappy, but he could only explain, "This is war, and nowhere is absolutely safe, but don't worry, I will restore it as soon as possible."
