More than ten minutes after the mining spacecraft calling for help self-destructed, a battleship about 400 meters long left the hyperspace channel and appeared in this tragic airspace.
The 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 blown up, and there were fine debris everywhere. The Aquitens-class light cruiser was also seriously damaged. Half of the hull was blown into pieces, and the other half was silent.
The ground is floating.
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 armors, but they could not escape at this moment and were directly killed by these fighter jets.
Kill them all.
At the same time, these fighter jets also brought back all the robot wreckage they could find - these insect-shaped fighter jets have mechanical arms installed underneath, just like insect feet. It can be seen that these fighter jets usually bear responsibilities in addition to combat.
Do some moving work.
One of the fighter jets followed the signal and flew to a place far away from the battlefield, where it found a floating rescue capsule in the space.
The compound-eye-like sensor of the insect-shaped fighter jet flickered, 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 inside.
Only the wreckage of a robot was seen being thrown inside the rescue hatch. The fighter jet 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 the hatch and remove the contents inside.
The robot was grabbed out of the wreckage, then turned around and flew backwards.
…
In an unknown place, a fleet of more than 200 warships is gathering. Almost all of the warships in this fleet are in insect form, with similar shapes, but some differences in size. The large warship is more than 400 meters long, and the small one is about only
3,50 meters in length.
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 materials 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 modified by the Fourth Civilization from the Predator-class heavy supply ship of the Galactic Republic.
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.
Those busy on the bridge are all robots with flashlight heads!
That's right, they are 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 has set a goal for the Geth - to kill Sheev Palpatine, and the 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's geth.
The entire Geth is a Gestalt consciousness. Each individual is a Geth, and their collective body is also a Geth. Therefore, when they speak, they always refer to themselves as 'us'. And they are talking to Tang Xiao in front of them.
This Geth is a gestalt cluster consisting 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 imperfection 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.
"We are far from being a match for 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 will make even more irrational choices." Getz replied, "But we still believe that there is a better choice in this matter."
"Then have you considered that if the war officially starts now, it will be accompanied by higher risks and higher returns? Maybe for your calculations, fighting for a 500% return with a 10% chance is an option
, it is not as good as fighting for a 110% profit option 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."
"What about this war that spans the entire galaxy?"
"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 that."
"Because intelligent creatures will complete calculations and judgments under imperfect conditions."
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, in order to achieve the goal of sending troops in advance to confront 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, and it will even be difficult to protect itself. Therefore, I must ensure the strength of the Galactic Republic.
Being pulled 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 say."
"If the fourth civilization declines or is 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 fighter jets, and then began a hyperspace jump!
