Chapter 237: Sharing The Same Fate
Galactic Calendar 9420.
Blue Star Space Hub.
The massive silhouette of the Conqueror suddenly appeared 200 kilometers from the Lunar Far Side.
Soon after, a Peregrine Falcon and several Young Dragons slowly emerged from its hangar, ultimately speeding toward the Blue Star Space Hub.
Subsequently, this enormous, hard-to-conceal Conqueror, under A’dai’s control, entered invisibility mode and completely vanished from this universe, as if it had never existed.
Strictly speaking, whether it was the small-scale war with the Fox Pirate Group in the Solar System, or the interception battle far outside the Solar System against the Hans Civilization’s expedition fleet.
These things, most people were unaware of.
Within the Solar System today, aside from the mysterious disappearance of those populations from other countries on Blue Star in the past, there had actually been no essential changes.
Nowadays, all energy was devoted to the development of the space endeavor.
From the basic production line workers, to the mid-level design engineers, and then to the top-level scientists.
These talents were in short supply.
Under Ye Rongshan’s leadership and the effective execution by a series of department chiefs such as Jin Qiaoying, the total population had now reached the terrifying figure of 2.5 billion.
Meanwhile, at the Mars Utopia Base and Ganymede’s Pioneer Base, there were still nearly a billion remnants of the former United States, South Australia, Little Japan, and South Island Country who had not been sent into hibernation pods, engaged in low-end mining industry work.
The cruelty of the law of survival was evident even just within humanity.
Not to mention among the tens of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, although Fan Ren only had simple introductions from Fox and Mai Er.
He could still imagine that once Human Civilization officially registered in the Galactic Alliance, the various difficulties and crises it would encounter would be countless times more severe than the previous Blue Star situation.
Even a single wrong step would not mean just decades of developmental regression.
Just like the extinction of the Fox Civilization, perhaps humanity at that time would also follow in its footsteps.
Under the joint nomination of nearly a thousand people, Fan Ren was formally elected as Human Civilization Committee Chairman with a high vote count.
The Vice Chairman position was held by Liu Shengzhan, leader of the Military headquarters.
The Committee was established with nine committee members, including Jin Qiaoying of the Ministry of Trade, Ke Fengyun of the Ministry of Industry, Gu Zhenxing of the Teaching Department, Dan Qin of the Intelligence Department, and the Science and Technology Department still concurrently held by Fan Ren, among other department chiefs.
The reason for such a huge change was also very simple.
After this, humanity would formally dispatch relevant personnel aboard the Peregrine Falcon and several civilian ships, taking the route through the Ross 154 star gate to the Alpha Centauri star gate, directly heading to the Galactic Alliance Office at Sirius Prime to register Human Civilization as a member of the Galactic Alliance.
Five years of development.
By transporting all building materials via the Conqueror constructing space channels to the hidden base in the Ross 154 star system.
Under A’dai’s terrifying fully automated production capacity, countless robot workers worked day and night, and in just five years, they constructed 20,000 Punisher Battleships, as well as countless other types of ships.
Now Fan Ren fully understood why the Galactic Alliance was so cautious on the issue of electronic intelligent life.
It was because electronic life with powerful computing power had an extremely terrifying gap in construction speed compared to carbon-based life that worked 8 hours a day and needed several days of rest per month.
Electronic robots do not need rest, and under A’dai’s computing power support, they never make mistakes.
Even their construction task processes were streamlined to the extreme, with extremely high time utilization rates.
50,000 Punisher ships, relying on humanity’s current industrial scale and workers’ construction speed, could not possibly be completed without 10 years.
Whereas the intelligent super-large dock construction factory fully autonomously controlled by A’dai, with sufficient materials, only needed half the time.
Moreover, one crucial point was that these spaceships were all fully assembled ships, not empty hulls.
It must be known that the weapons and equipment used by spaceships, as well as equipment for various subsystems, also required massive manpower, resources, financial resources, and time to build.
A’dai had considered these from the beginning of construction, so when the ships were completed, they were basically ready-to-deploy combat ships that could head straight to the battlefield.
This capability and speed were truly too terrifying, no wonder the Galactic Alliance targeted it so heavily.
Because once electronic intelligent life developed bad ideas, carbon-based life would be utterly unable to respond.
Of the 50,000 Punisher ships, the Azure Phoenix Legion was allocated over 5,000, forming a large battleship legion of exactly 10,000 ships.
The Black Tortoise Legion and the Azure Dragon Legion, which had been stationed at Neptune Orbit responsible for the Solar System’s outer frontline security, each received 20,000.
The remaining 5,000 were used as the Blue Star Military headquarters base for training new Space Force soldiers.
According to Mai Er’s introduction, 50,000 fully equipped battleships could already completely rival the armies of their Hans Civilization.
Even in terms of weapons and equipment maintenance, because all of Human Civilization’s equipment was autonomously produced.
Compared to their civilization, the cost difference was extremely significant.
And there was one most critical point among these.
The fuel used by the Hans Civilization’s fleet was liquid metallic hydrogen, which they could only purchase at high prices on the starfield market.
This was also why the Hans Civilization’s expedition fleet, with only one small aircraft carrier and 500 battleships, traveled tens of thousands of light years to the Solar System intending to colonize Human Civilization.
Money! Star Coins!
Restricted the scale of their civilization’s fleet deployment.
According to the Galactic Alliance’s standard, the declaration of war fee against a Tier 2 Civilization was 10 billion star coins!
If this number were converted to humanity’s current mining productivity, it would take 2,000 years to earn that amount.
This was also why Fan Ren was eager to establish the Human Destiny Community, this brand-new civilization organizational structure.
Precisely because they needed to go to the Galactic Alliance to register the existence of Human Civilization.
10 billion! He didn’t believe that with this fleet scale, without worrying about fuel expenditure, and with completely autonomous weapons and equipment.
Any civilization within ten light years would dare to declare war on a civilization of this scale.
Fan Ren stood on the podium, gazing deeply at the officials at all levels in the venue, remaining silent for a long time.
Unknowingly, Human Civilization had developed to this point.
The level of mid-tier strength among Tier 2 Civilizations.
They had walked this path for 100 years!
