When both civilizations have a considerable level of interstellar defense, then unless one's side hopes to break through the other's defense, it will inevitably be impossible for one's side to launch an attack.
From a civilized standpoint, no civilization would fight a war that is impossible to win.
However, when this hope will never appear due to resource constraints, the war will never be launched.
But at the same time, resources are always being consumed. Because maintaining the existence of a civilization itself requires resources.
Hope will never come, and resources will always be consumed. Even if they are only consumed at a very low level, there will always be a day when they are exhausted. As a result, civilization will usher in its demise when resources are exhausted.
Of course, there will be variables in this, such as the sudden explosion of technology, which will lead to the acquisition of more resources. But obviously, this possibility cannot exist in human civilization. Because within a long period of time, new humans will
Civilizations are at the stage of digesting the scientific and technological achievements of old human civilizations, and do not have sufficient scientific research, innovation and R&D capabilities at all.
This possibility may appear in deep space civilization. Because deep space civilization was more advanced than human civilization in its heyday, its potential is greater.
Either resources will be exhausted and then destroyed, or deep space civilization will experience a technological explosion, leading to its own destruction by deep space civilization. In short, relying on the development of science and technology to enable one's own country to rely on hard power to destroy deep space civilization is definitely a dead end.
.
This is the conclusion that Zhao Changxing came to after continuously studying and absorbing the wisdom of outstanding figures in history.
This is a strategic and overall judgment.
Everyone looked hesitant. But after that, people still chose to believe in Zhao Changxing's judgment. Because Zhao Changxing has not missed it so far.
"Thinking this way, at this stage we will find a way to destroy the deep space civilization and bring the resources of the deep space star into our control. Then with the support of the resources of the two planets, we will no longer need to
Taking into account the threat of war, fully developing science and technology until it has enough strength to obtain resource supplies from more distant planets is indeed the only way to survive. However, there is a fundamental and prerequisite to this strategic vision.
The question is, how can we destroy deep space civilization?"
The problem is back to its original point.
The reason why we have to maintain peace is because there is no way to defeat deep space civilization. If there is a way, why is it necessary to maintain peace?
Zhao Changxing took a deep breath.
"Gather the power of all civilizations, and now that deep space civilization has not yet established a planetary defense system, we will take advantage of this only window period to launch a chemical fuel-level sneak attack against deep space civilization."
Sneak attack at the chemical fuel level!
This sentence shocked everyone.
At this stage, human civilization cannot achieve high energy efficiency ion propulsion, but can only rely on chemical fuels. Unable to miniaturize the electromagnetic gun, it can only rely on gunpowder to propel the bullet. In this case,
A long journey spanning more than 60 million kilometers and an expedition to another planet. Is this kind of thing really, really realistic?
"You have to be realistic if you are not realistic!" Zhao Changxing said resolutely, leaving no room for maneuver: "This is our only chance. If we cannot seize this opportunity, we will perish!"
Zhao Changxing has made up his mind.
"My initial idea is to build a 'space carrier' as the driving carrier for this sneak attack, carry as many supplies, spaceships, and combatants as possible, and sail more than 60 million kilometers to the deep space star.
Take advantage of them being defenseless and destroy them in one fell swoop!"
The idea of the so-called aerospace carrier comes from the aircraft carrier of the earth age. It is a comprehensive carrier. In Zhao Changxing's idea, it will have hospitals, docks, various factories, radars, etc., carrying enough to support a war.
Fuel, projectiles, parts, support supplies, combat spaceships, etc., sailed tens of millions of kilometers away, where they served as the fulcrum of the war, supporting the combat spacecraft to fight.
A space carrier in the true sense is obviously impossible to build given that the total population of human civilization at this stage is less than 200,000 and there is only one Sedna star on the planet. I am afraid that all human civilization in its heyday could not build one.
It doesn’t come out. Its technological content and the requirements for all aspects are really too high.
But... Zhao Changxing didn't even think about building a war fortress that met the requirements in all aspects. In his vision, the aerospace carrier used in this sneak attack was more similar to a large interstellar transport ship.
As long as it is big enough, then facilities such as shipyards, arsenals, hospitals, etc. can be integrated into it.
To use an analogy, it's like integrating some repair shops, hospitals and other buildings on a giant cargo ship in the Earth Age, and then placing some helicopters. According to this design idea, the difficulty of its construction will be greatly reduced.
Even if the ship can be built big enough, it is not impossible to build it with wood. Anyway, Zhao Changxing only requires that it can bring relevant personnel, materials, spaceships, etc. to the place.
After the meeting, the relevant personnel immediately convened military industry experts and began to study and analyze the feasibility of building an "aircraft carrier". The final results will come out soon. If no more requirements are raised, at this stage,
At the industrial level, it is completely feasible to build it.
But there is one thing that Zhao Changxing cannot accept. That is time. Preliminary calculations show that building such a ship can carry millions of tons of fuel, weigh at least tens of millions of tons, and can carry 20 Wu-1 type combat spacecraft.
"Space Carrier" will take at least 20 years.
In particular, the process of building this space carrier must be kept secret, so that people from deep space civilization cannot detect our intention to launch a sneak attack. Once the secret is leaked, everything will stop.
Under the premise that deep space civilization must have spy satellites around Sedna, and construction near Sedna will inevitably leak secrets, people's solution to this problem is to place 2 million satellites in the direction of Sedna toward the sun.
It is built in places about kilometers away.
This will break away from the detection of deep space civilization spy satellites, and will also make them think that this is an attempt by human civilization to enter the inner solar system and obtain supplies from the inner solar system, thus relaxing their vigilance.
But in this way, the time to build the space carrier will be extended to 30 years.
After 30 years, I am afraid that the deep space civilization's planetary defense system will have been built for several years, and this sneak attack will be meaningless.
"Thirty years is absolutely not possible. Counting the time it takes for this 'space carrier' to sail to the deep space star - calculated based on 5 years, we must complete the construction of the space carrier within 8 years.
."
It is foreseeable that the speed of the space carrier must be extremely slow. Zhao Changxing has set aside five years for it to rush to the battlefield.
"Eight years?"
People looked at each other.
"In extreme moments, extreme means must be used." Zhao Changxing's expression was more serious than ever before: "From now on, all social construction activities will be stopped unless necessary. At the same time, a wartime rationing system will be implemented and all commercial activities will be frozen. We must, must invest.
All manpower and material resources are used for the construction of the space carrier."
Once this order is issued, all existing social production orders will be destroyed. People's life trajectories will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Except for Zhao Changxing, no one has the determination to issue this order. Similarly, except for Zhao Changxing, no one has the prestige to issue this order.
"At the same time, the construction of the space carrier must be kept secret. We must strictly prevent deep space aliens from stealing our communication signals through eavesdropping and causing leaks."
The crowd was in commotion again.
If the construction of the space carrier can be announced and the significance of building it can be announced, then people may still accept the arrangement and devote all their attention to the construction. But now, even the final goal cannot be announced, so how to complete social mobilization?
"Let's use another goal to cover up our real goal." Zhao Changxing made arrangements again: "Let's just say that we are trying to obtain supplies from the inner solar system. Raising the significance of this matter can also complete social mobilization.
Also, I will implement wartime control within civilization, and I don’t mind killing people when necessary.”
Zhao Changxing has made up his mind to escort the construction of the space carrier through severe punishment.
"You do it immediately."
The human government and the members of the war committee operated with unprecedented efficiency. When the wartime control was fully announced, it was expected that some voices of opposition arose in society. However, under Zhao Changxing's severe suppression
, all opposition quickly disappeared without a trace.
The working hours were directly increased by Zhao Changxing to 12 hours a day, and all entertainment activities were cancelled.
After this set of mechanisms, which was also the preliminary preparations for the space carrier, had been running for a period of time, through statistics, new information was once again placed in front of Zhao Changxing.
"Based on the current progress, the time it takes us to complete the space carrier and all pre-war preparations has been reduced from 30 years to 14 years."
"14 years?..."
Zhao Changxing was stunned.
He knows that at this moment, the social production potential has been squeezed to the limit of the mechanism and cannot be improved any further. If it is squeezed any further, it will trigger a civil uprising. By then, it will collapse without the help of the Deep Space Stars.
However, the time of 2014 is absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Changxing. This will make the sneak attack plan fundamentally meaningless.
Facing the reports from officials and committee members, Zhao Changxing slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the sky, the Spark spacecraft and many roller bases shine like stars.
"At this moment of life and death for civilization, we can no longer care about so much. Children, I'm sorry."
