Chapter 103: Joint Military Action, the Journey Will Take More than 10,000 Years
"Si Civilization has responded, which means the war has officially begun."
"This is a war that may last tens of thousands of years. The Civilization Federation is very young. Yan Xia, are you really ready for this war?"
At this moment, Yan Xia is commanding a part of Star City to break away and turn into a warship.
Yan Xia has confirmed Ella's initial guess that Star City is a super battleship. It is extremely large, has almost unlimited energy, and can be divided into countless smaller battleships.
And these "small battleships" are also huge in Yan Xia's view, at least 300,000 meters long, far exceeding Yan Xia and his friends' guess about the size of the Olive Branch Civilization battleship when they first arrived at Star City.
After all, only when you know that the Olive Branch Civilization is modular, you can understand that the interstellar port itself is a deliberately created illusion.
"Of course, this war itself was initiated by us."
"Xiao, you should also know that our Civilization Federation came to power after defeating the Purple Thorn Civilization. Young civilizations often have more combat factors."
The Olive Branch Civilization has information about the Silk Civilization more than 1,000 light years away, so it is naturally difficult for the Purple Thorn Civilization, which is close and often makes trouble everywhere, not to be discovered by them.
Yan Xia spoke of the combat factor with some emphasis. He hoped that Xiao could understand that the Civilization Federation is a civilization that is not afraid of war, not only when facing the Silk Civilization, but also when facing the Olive Branch Civilization.
"That's good."
"The long distance in space makes it impossible for us to determine each other's information. Only close combat can truly destroy each other."
"My fleet will be ready within 2 years of the Civilization Federation. You can use tachyon communication to tell your leader that it is time to set off."
War.
A war across thousands of light years.
Xiao is more decisive than Yan Xia imagined.
"No problem."
The core of the Holy Grail Plan is to deceive the Olive Branch Civilization and make it believe in the authenticity of the Holy Grail Plan.
But this plan is not the only one. He and Ella both considered that the Silk Civilization might fight back, which would likely lead to a war between the two civilizations.
So they must pull the Olive Branch Civilization together. If the latter situation really happens, then they will deal with the Silk Civilization together.
This is beneficial to the Civilization Federation.
Yan Xia likened this method to internal and external conflicts. There was a conflict between the Civilization Federation and the Olive Branch Civilization, and a third party must intervene to temporarily ease the internal conflict.
Just like the current situation within the Olive Branch Civilization.
This will delay the Olive Branch Civilization and allow the Civilization Federation to continue to develop.
Yan Xia went to the tachyon communication device and sent a message to Ella. He used encrypted communication very carefully. It has been so long, it is inevitable that the Olive Branch Civilization has developed technology to capture tachyon communications.
Although Yan Xia did not know what the technology would look like and how difficult it would be.
This is the disadvantage of a war across civilizations. You never know what means the enemy will use to deal with you, and you never know what the enemy has hidden.
It's like a martial arts master who breaks into the 21st century. He thinks he is invincible and thinks that even if there are masters stronger than him in the 21st century, they are definitely limited. However, he can't imagine that a policeman with a gun can deal with him. If he leaves China, he may experience the modern Iai Slash more quickly.
That martial arts master can't imagine the existence of such a thing as firearms, just as Yan Xia can't imagine what hidden technological means exist in the Olive Branch Civilization.
After sending the message, Yan Xia did not leave the device. He stayed in the device for more than 100 days until he received a reply.
"Everything is ready. We will assemble 60 standard fleets to fight against the Silk Civilization."
The standard fleet is the regular fleet. When leaving the Civilization Federation, the Civilization Federation only had 17 main battle fleets and 6 reserve fleets. Unexpectedly, it has now developed to the point where 60 fleets can be dispatched over long distances.
But if you think about it carefully, it has been more than 3,000 years.
How long has it been since the Civilization Federation took down the Purple Thorn Civilization? How long has it been now?
Because the information transmitted by the tachyon communication equipment is limited, Yan Xia now doesn't even know what the Civilization Federation has developed into. Is it singing along the route he and Ella originally planned?
In addition to this information, Yan Xia also transmitted the information of the battleship /Star City under the precious word limit, and received Ella's reply.
"Yan Xia, you said that /Star City itself does not have large-scale energy production equipment, and the Olive Branch Civilization uses supergravity weapons, so I guess that the Olive Branch Civilization may use gravitational energy."
Gravitational energy is a way to use gravity to do work to produce energy.
Humans have actually been exposed to gravitational energy for a long time, and the device that produces this energy is the waterwheel.
Gravity makes water flow from top to bottom, driving the waterwheel to rotate and provide kinetic energy.
Ella guessed that the energy production of the Olive Branch Civilization is the same, but it is more sophisticated. It may not use water, but something else to convert the energy of gravity into kinetic energy, and then into electromagnetic force.
Of course, it may also be more advanced, directly converting gravity into electromagnetic force. This possibility is extremely low and beyond imagination.
According to Yan Xia's observations, the Olive Branch Civilization did not use stars as a source of energy, so Yan Xia felt that there was only one.
The Olive Branch Civilization uses the gravity generated by the huge /Star City to produce energy, which is the so-called self-production and self-sale.
Because gravity is a kind of space distortion, gravitons only play the role of transmitting gravity, so gravity will not be consumed. It is almost an infinite energy source. It will disappear only when space does not exist.
Yan Xia thinks this guess is very bold and very close to the truth.
He turned off the tachyon communication equipment and contacted Zhuo.
"Our fleet is ready."
Zhuo also replied.
"We are the same."
Across a distance of more than 200 light years, the fleets of the two civilizations headed towards the Orion Nebula almost in the same year.
Yan Xia observed the warships of the Olive Branch Civilization, whose speed exceeded 31,000 km/s, faster than 10% of the speed of light.
The current speed of the Civilization Federation should not have reached 10% of the speed of light, and the location of /Star City is closer to the Silk Civilization than the Civilization Federation, so the Olive Branch Civilization will arrive faster.
But even so, the warships of the Olive Branch Civilization will take at least 11,400 years to arrive.
A long journey.
The war that Yan mentioned lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the journey alone would take more than 10,000 years.
Yan Xia was speechless for a long time after calculating it, and finally uttered only three words.
"Pervert!"
