Chapter 486: Protracted

This time, humans failed to destroy the opponent's second planet base in one go, but it cannot be considered a complete failure. At least it dealt a heavy blow to its defense force.

On the way back, a new development plan was also discussed and decided.

First, the four warships, Donghai, Xihai, Nanhai, and Beihai, which originally belonged to the First Fleet, except for the strong artificial intelligence on the Nanhai, which continued to take on the development and construction tasks of the thirteenth planet, the other three were also granted authority to start resource exploration and development operations on other planets.

After so many years, the near-Earth orbit of the twelfth planet, which was previously bombarded by humans, is still filled with dust clouds, but the interior of the planet has settled. Although the environment is a bit harsh, it can be mined barely, so it was selected as the first resource mining site.

Then there is the original sixth planet base of the Chiyan civilization on the ninth orbit. When the facilities on it were bombed and destroyed before, the mineral distribution of this planet had been explored by humans, so it became the second resource development site.

The remaining two are located on the two satellites of the giant gas planet of the seventh planet. The current location of this planet is on the left hand side of the thirteenth planet of mankind. As time goes by, it will slowly turn to the location of mankind. In the next fifty years, the geographical conditions are good.

The victory of the previous battles allowed humans to clear the enemy ships near these planets, making these planets relatively safe. Of course, there must still be fleet patrols and keep an eye on the movements of the opponent's fleet.

After the battle, the first fleet of mankind returned to the thirteenth planet for correction, so the fleet that took over the attack mission naturally became the second fleet.

Like the human side, the Chiyan civilization also began to repair and maintain the warships after returning to its second planet base. In addition, it is to vigorously produce new warships.

Humans naturally saw what the Chiyan civilization did, but they were powerless during this period and could not send a large fleet to attack.

Therefore, the war once again turned into a stage where small-scale warship formations confronted each other and detection spacecraft fought each other. At this stage, since strong artificial intelligence could not participate, humans were basically at a disadvantage.

But humans don't care much, because what humans want to do now is to vigorously expand resource mining areas, and then surpass the Red Flame Civilization in the speed of warship production.

After so many years of fighting, although both sides cannot be considered to know each other's actions completely, they can be considered to have seen each other's actions.

So the actions of humans naturally could not be hidden from the detection of the Red Flame Civilization. For this reason, they harassed humans constantly in the following time, launching harassment and attacks on new resource mining areas of humans again and again.

Time passed year after year in this state.

The general situation of this star system gradually became a situation where humans were on the periphery and the Red Flame Civilization was on the inner periphery. Both sides were trying to destroy each other and develop themselves at the same time.

It was also at this stage that humans discovered that there seemed to be a lot of individual lives on one side of the interstellar trading market, or that their reproductive ability was really strong. They produced new warships and could always fill up the personnel in the first time, and then form combat effectiveness.

At the same time, an interesting phenomenon was also discovered, that is, their rapid resource collection and rapid warship production seemed to only occur in the third, fourth, and fifth planetary bases.

Yes, after so many years, the Chiyan civilization has also enabled these three bases to have the ability to build ships.

As for this phenomenon, human experts believe that there should be a strong artificial intelligence in the interstellar trading market, but it seems that it can only be used in production and manufacturing.

Don't say it, it was really guessed by humans.

Similarly, almost at the same time when humans obtained such intelligence by consuming various detection spacecraft, the Chiyan civilization was shocked to find that humans' resource mining efficiency and warship production efficiency seemed to be stronger than their own. Especially after taking the three newly developed bases into account, humans' efficiency in obtaining resources has increased, which has brought about an increase in warship production capacity.

"General, the situation is not optimistic! Now that Earth civilization has successfully broadened its resource sources, their docks are no longer limited by the amount of resources, and they have also built many new space docks in the orbits of those planetary bases.

According to the data sent back by the detector, eight years ago, they could only produce about 200,000 warships a year, but now this number may quadruple."

At this moment, such a conversation is taking place within the Chiyan civilization.

"You mean, the warship production capacity of Earth civilization has surpassed ours? When did it happen? Has this news been confirmed?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. We paid the price of millions of exploration spacecraft to conduct close-range exploration. These data are the result of comprehensive analysis by experts based on the exploration situation. There is no mistake."

"That's troublesome. I thought I could eliminate them with the advantage of the number of warships, but I didn't expect that this Earth civilization actually has so many strong artificial intelligences for production. It seems that the previous speculation is still a bit flawed. The Earth civilization not only has the technology to create strong artificial intelligence, but can also produce strong artificial intelligence in the absence of the main civilization."

"Well, Commander-in-Chief, the scientific officers have different opinions on this point. They believe that the manufacturing technology of strong artificial intelligence is too complicated. Even if the Earth civilization has this technology, they cannot produce so many strong artificial intelligences in a short period of time without being separated from the main civilization. Based on this, their conclusion is that the new resource development sites that the Earth civilization has expanded now actually use the strong artificial intelligence they originally brought with them, and there is a 90% chance that it is the strong artificial intelligence they used on the battlefield at that time. They use technology that we don't know to transform those artificial intelligences to make them suitable for production."

"Is there such a technology?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, our chief scientific officer has confirmed with our strong artificial intelligence that in some civilizations that are proficient in computers, it is possible To achieve this technology. "

"That's difficult. Who would have thought that such a war-loving civilization would exist in such a remote star field? It would be great if we knew where the mother planet of this Earth civilization is!"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. The latest news is that our great scientists and engineers have already made some progress in the miniaturization of magnetic propulsion technology. In fifty years at most, we will have miniaturized magnetic propulsion thrusters, and then we can manufacture special assault motherships! By then, with our advantages in nanotechnology, it will not be difficult to destroy their flagships. "

"Mr. Political Officer, you did a good job. Victory will definitely belong to us, and glory will always belong to our Chiyan civilization. Fifty years later, we will give this Earth civilization a big surprise. "
