Chapter 1570 Undercurrents Within the Higher Civilization
"Why are you so good today?"
After the strategic direction of attacking Andromeda α001 was determined, the expedition fleet entered a period of rest.
Fang Yuan and his wife finally had time to spend with their daughter.
Under the holographic image simulation, you can see that the little princess grows taller day by day, as if she is a lot more sensible.
"Because Mom and Dad's work is very dangerous, the more obedient I am, the sooner you can come back. I want you to come back well." Xiao Sihua said seriously, and nodded seriously after speaking.
This set of logic must have been instilled by her grandparents. In fact, there is no necessary causal relationship, but in her heart, it is true and she firmly believes it.
"It turned out to be like this, since Xiao Sihua is so obedient, today dad will play with you until nine o'clock, and then you have to wash and go to bed." Fang Yuan held Xiao Sihua's face and rubbed it back and forth.
"The teacher taught us to dance at the school opening party. I want to show my father and mother."
As soon as Xiao Sihua said that, she started to wobble and jumped up. It looked like she was playing a bee, and she would wear the clothes of a little bee at the party.
After the dance, she grabbed the joystick gun of the holographic game non-stop, and said, "I want to play Thunder Battleship, Dad, I am very good now, and I will soon catch up with Dad's score."
The holographic game Thunder Warship is a stand-alone game with a family leaderboard.
Fang Yuan usually plays with his daughter, and his score ranks first in the leaderboard.
"Okay, then play this." Fang Yuan picked up the joystick gun, connected to the game, and prepared to start a thunder war.
Da da da……
Boom boom boom...
Xiao Sihua played very seriously, and laughed loudly: "Mom, you come too, you come too..."
Han Youwei usually likes to watch father and daughter play, and rarely participates, unless Fang Yuan is not free and needs to be busy with business, she will take over the task of playing games with her daughter.
However, since the daughter is so happy, it is also possible to join in together.
So, the three of them started to fight the thunder battleship, and laughter filled the entire holographic scene.
After playing for two hours, the little girl was finally tired from playing, so she obediently went back to sleep.
After the holographic image disappeared, Fang Yuan and Han Youwei leaned together, looked at each other, and saw the complicated gaze in each other's eyes.
There was joy in those eyes, but also a trace of loneliness.
Although I can see and feel it, as if everything is real, but I still look like 2.56 million light years away from my daughter.
This is a distance that can't be covered in a lifetime.
"My daughter suddenly became sensible, but I felt a little sad." Han Youwei sighed.
Fang Yuan understands her mood, why not himself.
The daughter became sensible because her parents were not around, so she had to believe in the logic of her grandparents and learn to grow up.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the dark starry sky outside the window, and said leisurely: "Take this battle for a long-term peace."
It's all done in one battle.
If he had a choice, Fang Yuan would choose to return to the Milky Way without hesitation, to be by his daughter's side, to watch her grow up day by day, to play with her, he doesn't need to be so sensible, just being naughty is fine.
However, the situation among advanced civilizations cannot tolerate such a seemingly ordinary peace.
This battle must be fought and won, in order to win a long-term peace and save my daughter from the troubles of war.
Fang Yuan didn't want his little princess to be forced to go her own way because he didn't win the war after a few decades.
...
at the same time.
The mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization signed an agreement on the purchase of dark matter reactors and joint operations when they had the right to choose but had no choice.
The fleets of Mechanical Empire and Photosynthetic Civilization have begun to undergo dark matter technology transformation.
In this regard, human civilization already has a mature transformation plan.
Moreover, the mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization have also reached a certain level in the research of dark matter technology.
Therefore, the transformation speed is very fast.
three months later.
The mechanical empire fleet and the photosynthetic civilization fleet began to set sail one after another, entering the Andromeda galaxy.
The war of the three major carbon-based civilizations and the encirclement and suppression of the Palesian civilization was launched.
This war will directly determine the future fate of the local galaxy group and even the Virgo galaxy cluster.
The two fleets of the Mechanical Empire and the Photosynthetic Civilization entered the Andromeda galaxy from the two star fields of Andromeda χ and Andromeda ψ according to the advancing route formulated by the human staff, and advanced along the main route.
At the same time, the human expeditionary fleet is advancing along Andromeda ο to Andromeda α.
If the battle goes well, the three major civilization fleets will join forces at Andromeda α, and finally launch a general attack on Andromeda α001 God's Temple.
This time, the human expedition fleet, the mechanical empire fleet, the photosynthetic civilization fleet, the three fleets, and the advancing routes are all the most important main routes of the Palesian civilization.
If it is a remote route, the Palesean civilization can reluctantly blow it up, but if you want to blow up the three main routes leading to the Templar Star, things are not that simple.
Because of the three main routes, there are too many interests involved.
Once the hyperspace channel is blown up, there is no possibility of repairing it.
Blowing up one of the hyperspace waterways will not only destroy a section of the hyperspace waterway, but will make the entire route impassable.
At that time, if you want to re-establish the route, you need to change the route, which will not only involve the interests of the Palese royal family, but also the interests of the many nobles and chaebols of the Palese civilization.
The many nobles of the Palesian civilization, the four great chaebols, originally occupied the most prosperous star system on the main route, with huge industries and prosperous families.
Once the important hyperspace channel is destroyed, the main route needs to be diverted at that time, and the originally prosperous star system can become a remote star, and the interests involved are so huge that the Palese royal family cannot make a decision alone.
...
Just when the three major fleets of human beings, mechanical empires, and photosynthetic civilizations are advancing.
Intense quarrels are going on within the Palesean civilization.
"Andromeda χ103, Andromeda ψ152, Andromeda ο211..."
Mekkatorque marked three red dots on the holographic star map.
If you look carefully, you will find that these three red dots are the 3D holographic graphics of the three battleships, which are the flagships of the three fleets.
He raised his voice and said in a serious tone: "Looking at these three stars, the mechanical empire has reached χ103 Andromeda, the photosynthetic civilization has reached ψ152 Andromeda, and human civilization has reached ο211 Andromeda.
"We're running out of time.
"Judging from the advancement routes of the three carbon-based civilizations, their goal is Andromeda α001!
"That's right, their goal is where we stand now, our home planet, where the Holy Church shines brightest.
"If we don't do something, within two years Templar will be a cosmic dust cloud."
Duke Antudil asked aloud: "What do you want to explain? Do you want us to blow up the three main routes?
"Blowing up the three main routes can stop the advance of the human fleet?
"Blowing up the three main routes means that the galaxy route system of civilization elites for tens of thousands of years has been destroyed, which is a retrogression of civilization.
"Once it is blown up, it will take us hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to restore it.
"Moreover, once the hyperspace channel is blown up, it will be repaired again.
"Hyperspace channels are non-renewable resources in the universe, and each hyperspace channel is unique!"
Mekkatorque didn't wait for him to finish, so he took the lead and scolded: "The hyperspace channel is gone, and a star gate can be built to replace it, but the Templar star is gone, and there is nothing in the universe that can replace it."
"How do you know that Templar can't withstand the attack of the Carbon-based Alliance? Are you scared when you see the dark matter-class warships of human civilization? What an advantage dark matter-class warships have, they are just warships with more energy."
Duke Antudier looked around, and said loudly: "Listen to me, everyone, let's not be frightened by dark matter-class warships.
"Although the dark matter-class battleship is strong, it's not that scary.
"What is dark matter technology?
"The main technology is the dark matter reactor.
"The advantage of the dark matter reactor is that it provides more energy than the antimatter reactor.
"However, compared to energy, can the energy of a battleship be compared to that of a star?
"No matter how much energy the dark matter reactor provides, can it be more energy than a star?
"So, the advantage of dark matter-class warships is relative to anti-matter-class warships.
"When facing the star defense system, the dark matter-class warship has no advantage.
"To fight for energy, we can extract endless energy from stars, whether it is energy shields or energy weapons, we will never lose to dark matter-class battleships.
"Therefore, humans don't have much advantage as long as they fight around the star defense system.
"We only need to keep in mind one combat idea, that is, to fight defensively around the star defense system and never take the initiative to attack.
"In this way, the fleet of the Carbon-based Alliance has nothing to do with us.
"The most important point is that we have two star gods, while the Carbon-based Alliance has only one star god-level combat power. Things like the tree god Saion have no attack at all."
After hearing these remarks, Mekkatorque was very angry.
The reason for his anger was not that Duke Antudier said something wrong, but the opposite.
What Duke Antudier said was actually somewhat reasonable, but the conclusion he reached was actually serving his own interests.
It is often this kind of speech that makes sense but serves selfishness, which is the most terrifying.
Mekkatorque scolded angrily: "Duke, you have to think clearly, even if the main route is not cut off, all the star systems that the human fleet passes will be destroyed! Including, Andromeda α750!"
Andromeda α750 is where the largest industry of Duke Antudier is located.
It can be said that this star is the foundation of Duke Antudier's wealth and power.
If Andromeda α750 is destroyed, Duke Antudier will instantly become a decayed Duke and lose everything.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Duke Antudier to give up Andromeda α750 in consideration of his own interests.
Mekkatorque directly pointed out Andromeda α750 in the words, already not saving any face for Duke Antudier.
Under normal circumstances, the aristocratic circle in Palese knew that Duke Antudier's insistence on not giving up the main route was due to selfishness.
But no one will say it directly.
This behavior of unraveling the undercurrent is very dangerous.
Because, Duke Antudier is not the only one who has selfishness.
In fact, the industries of the many nobles and the four major chaebols of the Palesian civilization are on the three main routes.
Once the three main routes are bombarded, the nobles and chaebols of the Palesian civilization will also be wiped out.
Therefore, for their own benefit, the nobles and the chaebols have the same goal, and they all hope to keep the three main routes.
The faction of Pope Caesar represented by Mekkatorque is different.
The foundation of this faction is built around Zandar Ikoc, and the main members are students of Zandar Ikoc.
Since Zandar Ikchi was not born in a noble family, this faction has no basic board.
Therefore, Mekkatorque does not mind destroying the three main routes, because it will not hurt his interests.
As for whether this is the reason why Mekkatorque proposed to cut off the three main routes, it is not known.
At least judging from the analysis report handed over by Mekkatorque, cutting off the three main routes and actively avoiding war is the best solution.
No one knows if Mekkatorque would have made such a decision if it had huge interests in the three main routes.
Regardless of whether Mekkatorque thinks so, but in the eyes of the four big chaebols and high-level nobles, he is like this.
"Cutting off the main route, preventing the three major fleets of the Carbon-based Alliance from advancing, and delaying for two years are the most beneficial strategies for the Holy Church right now!"
At the venue, Mekkatorque, facing a group of high-level civilizations, almost shouted out his analysis: "It will only take two years. After two years, the vacuum zero point will be broken through. By then, the fleet of the Holy Church will flatten the Milky Way. .
"For the sake of the future of civilization, it is worth sacrificing some of the current interests.
"I hope that the high-level people present can figure out the relationship between them!"
In the noble circle of Palesi, there was one of the most powerful nobles who always sat at the top, but he did not speak from the beginning to the end.
That person is Prince Epsis, he is the most powerful nobleman in the Palesi noble circle.
He has the most say in the aristocratic circle.
In order to win the support of the nobles, Caesar Seratis and Mekkatorque once personally visited Prince Epsis, but the result of the meeting is still unknown.
After Mekkatorque finished his analysis, he looked at Prince Epsys.
Not long ago, he visited Prince Epsis, the purpose was to get his support, decisively cut off the three major routes, and temporarily avoided the war.
As long as Prince Epsis agrees, the rest of the nobles dare not speak even if they want to object.
Prince Epsis rarely attends such meetings, and when he does, he rarely speaks.
He was like a lion, sitting on a cliff, watching the hyenas below biting and barking at each other.
This time, Mekkatorque looked at him, waiting for his response.
The rest of the high-level Palesi officials present also looked over, wanting to know the prince's attitude.
After being silent for a long time, Prince Epsis slowly said: "If you don't do anything to resist, you will admit defeat, which will damage the glory of the Holy Church. At Andromeda α1024, Lionheart is on defense. Taking advantage of the fact that the three fleets of the Carbon-based Alliance have just converged The best choice is to fight a defensive battle before the rest is over."
