The duration of this explosion was extremely short. However, under the premise that any third-level civilization, even the second-level civilization, is aware of the dangers of antimatter and has done a lot of work in the safe storage of antimatter and has implemented safety redundancies.
Even if this third-level civilization consciously wants to detonate so much antimatter at the same time, it may not be a simple matter.
I'm afraid a lot of arrangements need to be made in advance.
On the other hand, this also means that if this explosion came from an external force, then the "external force" that caused this explosion must have technological strength that far exceeds that of this third-level civilization.
Combined with the previous speculation about the "Civilized Colosseum", the answer is obvious.
So now,
The only problem is that,
Why can human civilization leave smoothly, but why is the third-level civilization that followed the footsteps of human civilization and tried to leave similarly blocked and destroyed?
What is special about human civilization? Why does that super civilization treat it differently? What is their purpose and intention in doing this? What purpose are they trying to achieve with the help of human civilization?
This is an extremely serious and important issue. It is even related to the future development direction and overall strategy of human civilization.
Unknowingly, people all have a feeling in their hearts, as if there is an invisible big hand in the endless deep universe, arbitrarily arranging human civilization like a chess piece, and even fate is at stake.
Unable to be controlled by oneself.
Zhao Changxing sighed softly.
"Whether that super civilization treats us as pawns, and whether everything we encounter is arranged in advance, I don't think it matters."
Even if you are treated as a chess piece, so what? Don’t you fight for what you should fight for, and don’t fight for what you should fight for?
Are you not going to work hard when you should?
In this case, since there is no change or impact on reality,
Then just pretend it doesn't exist.
No matter what the outside world does, at least your own mentality cannot be affected.
This point is not limited to Zhao Changxing. Any human civilization leader with a certain level can figure it out on his own. It's just because his thoughts are temporarily affected at this moment.
"The important thing is... if that super civilization doesn't exist at all, what if this explosion was not the result of that super civilization's action, but something that this third-level civilization did on its own initiative?"
The attendees were shocked.
Previously, the leaders who were shocked by the incident of "super civilization destroying the third-level civilization fleet" did not expect that this matter could be thought from another level.
Yes... what if, what if all of this is just directed and performed by this third-level civilization?
This means a lot of things...
"The consequence of this is obvious, that is, it has strategically deceived and frightened the other third-level civilizations in the Iron-Blooded Nebula, making them more convinced of the existence of that super civilization, and then they are even more afraid to leave the Iron-Blooded Nebula.
thoughts."
"At the same time, we all know that
Within the Iron Blood Nebula, civilizations are crowded and wars continue.
It is not a good place for civilization to develop with peace of mind. Even the scale of civilization will be squeezed and cannot be expanded at will. In this way, a certain civilization leaves the Iron Blood Nebula alone and enters a broader world, developing wantonly.
, the strength of civilization is expanding rapidly. The civilization in the Iron Blood Nebula still maintains its previous strength and scale, and even slightly declines during the long war. As one goes up and the other goes down..."
People made quick assessments in their minds.
When that time comes, I am afraid that with the strength of one civilization, it is not impossible to face the total number of third-level civilizations in the entire Iron-Blooded Star Cluster, which may be as high as ten or twenty, and win them together.
Different civilizations, no matter how similar they are, will always focus on the development direction of the overall technology tree. Perhaps this civilization is good at energy technology and can produce antimatter energy more efficiently and quickly, while another civilization is good at material technology.
Can produce various materials with higher performance.
If a civilization can annex dozens or twenty third-level civilizations, fully obtain their scientific and technological data, and capture members of their scientific and technological systems—that is, there may be hundreds of millions or billions of scientists—then the overall technology of this civilization will be
How high will the potential be?
Although wars between civilizations usually take no prisoners, this should only be for low-level people. Because they are just consumables and have little value. But scientists and scholars are different.
They are scarce in every civilization and are of extremely high value.
So, after completing the annexation, does this third-level civilization... have the opportunity to impact a higher level of civilization?
If we think about this "at least 180 billion tons of antimatter explosion" event from this perspective, a huge plan involving the future fate of multiple level 3 civilizations will faintly surface.
"Two possibilities, which one do you think is more likely?"
The participants' breathing was slightly rapid.
At this moment, people almost simultaneously chose the latter, that is, "this antimatter explosion was a strategic deception actively carried out by this third-level civilization" rather than "the super civilization took action to destroy this third-level civilization."
Although neither of these two has any empirical support, compared to the illusory super civilization, the credibility of the tangible and tangible third-level civilization is higher after all.
It's just that such a huge plan that can determine countless billions of people and powerful third-level civilizations, such a strategic plan that will take at least a thousand years to implement, is really, really amazing.
.
What kind of leader is able to keenly seize this fleeting and precious opportunity? After proposing this huge plan, he has enough governance ability to promote this plan?
How outstanding is such a leader? How powerful is the civilization that can execute this plan?
Can human civilization fight against such an enemy?
People have not forgotten that the coordinates of that explosion happened to be near the line between the Iron Blood Nebula and the H1 galaxy where they are at the moment. This means that if the third-level civilization still exists, this explosion was just their own self-directed act.
, then, their navigation destination is most likely also the H1 galaxy.
A powerful third-level civilization will not tolerate the existence of other civilizations in the galaxy.
In other words, either human civilization will escape and hand over the H1 galaxy, or a war will be inevitable.
"The credibility of this information is enough to force us to make a decision at this moment. So, should we leave or stay?"
If you stay here, you will face the risk of direct all-out war with a powerful third-level civilization with outstanding leaders and civilization cohesion. If you leave, you will need to interrupt the development process of civilization, sacrifice, and waste countless resources and manpower.
, and may even waste the entire life course of one or more generations.
They could have had a wonderful life and realized their life value in the flourishing development of civilization, but if they had to leave, their lives would only be slowly exhausted during the long journey.
Moreover, it is also possible that all these speculations are just false. Human civilization has paid a heavy price and sacrifice, but the result is that the third-level civilization has been destroyed long ago and never came.
In this case, all these sacrifices and costs will be meaningless.
How to choose? How to choose? Which one to choose?
A decision that could determine the fate of the entire civilization and determine the lives of tens of billions of human beings once again appeared before the leaders of civilization.
And a decision must be made in the near future.
Because if a civilization wants to start a long voyage, it will take a long time to make preparations. And the speculated third-level civilization may not take too long to arrive.
"It may be a difficult decision to make. In this way, we can all think about it carefully, and the Department of Science and Statistics can also conduct an in-depth investigation to clarify what we will gain and what we have to lose. A year from now
, we’ll make a decision later.”
"That's fine."
This compromise strategy is barely acceptable. After all, it only lasts for one year. If it were longer, it might not work.
Zhao Changxing knows clearly that at this moment, human civilization has no chance of winning against a complete third-level civilization. After all, the development of human civilization is still only in its initial stage. But for this assessment, what needs to be seen is
The situation is at least a hundred years from now.
After all, it will take time for the third-level civilization to sail to the H1 galaxy.
So……
In the main control room of the Yuanhang-1 spacecraft, which serves as the flagship of human civilization, Zhao Changxing opened the porthole and looked at the galaxy where he was.
Except for a few stars, he could not see anything. But he knew in his heart that at this moment, in different places in this galaxy, there were millions of huge factories roaring, with billions and hundreds of
Hundreds of millions of human beings are working hard, many spaceships are busy shuttle on different routes, scientists are studying the deeper mysteries of the universe, children are studying knowledge seriously, and workers are working hard...
Everyone has a beautiful wish in their hearts, hoping that civilization will become stronger and more prosperous, and everyone is working hard and struggling towards this goal.
Zhao Changxing felt a vigorous and vigorous vitality.
This is the foundation of civilization, this is the spirit and backbone of civilization, and this is the biggest reliance on why human civilization can exist in this universe and survive crises and tribulations one after another.
