Chapter 543: Huge Technological Gap
If you only interfere with a part of the electromagnetic wave signal, this is not a very difficult thing, but when this information has covered an entire light-year diameter, it is undoubtedly impossible to shield them. .
Faced with these suggestions from other intelligent alien creatures, the leader of the alien civilization seemed a little embarrassed.
"This is indeed something we must strive for, but...will Blue Star Civilization really agree to our demands? Our demands do sound a bit too harsh. Of course, I don't mean to lower them immediately. This standard is that if Blue Star Civilization rejects our requirements, we must find a backup plan. "
Other intelligent alien creatures also knew that it would be difficult for the Blue Star civilization to easily agree to the conditions they proposed, so they quickly formulated their backup plans.
If the Blue Star civilization does not agree to the requests they made at the beginning, they can station their space forces farther away, but in any case, they will definitely not give up the arrangement of the space forces.
After all, this is something that a highly developed civilization must do. In the vast universe, there are too many things that may threaten the safety of its own civilization. Therefore, making certain arrangements in space is a very important thing. A conventional move.
What's more, being so far away from Blue Star, Blue Star Civilization has no qualifications or ability to interfere with these matters. If Blue Star Civilization cannot even agree to such conditions, then there is indeed no point in continuing the negotiation. .
What this alien civilization did not expect was that after they proposed to arrange the space team at the edge of this range, the Blue Star civilization readily agreed to their request.
"One light-year away from Blue Star, you can do whatever you want without asking for our permission. Of course, we still retain our bottom line. Once you step into this range, , Blue Star Civilization will take some measures to protect itself, and will fight you to the end..."
After finalizing other details, the two sides finally finalized the final peace agreement.
The core content of this agreement is to establish a clear dividing line between the two civilizations. As long as both parties do not cross this dividing line, the two civilizations can temporarily get along with each other in a peaceful manner. , neither of them will come close to the coverage of the other's civilization.
The most important reason why such an agreement can be reached is that this alien civilization is worried that its specific location information will be exposed by the Blue Star civilization. As long as the space team is deployed outside this range, they will be able to occupy the space with Blue Star. Initiative in civilized confrontation.
And stopping this alien civilization in an area one light-year away from Blue Star is an acceptable result for Blue Star civilization.
After all, the area actually controlled by Blue Star Civilization is far less than a light-year away. Such a huge safe area can provide enough buffer for Blue Star Civilization.
However, Song Xiyun still didn't understand why Ning Chen readily agreed to the request of this alien civilization.
"Ning Chen, we can obviously continue to negotiate some conditions with them. There is no need to directly accept their demands, right? They can arrange the space team arbitrarily outside this range, which will undoubtedly bring great security to us. Threat. Even if this safe area can be slightly expanded, is it still a condition that can be achieved? "
This feels like buying clothes in a mall. In many cases, you can bargain first instead of buying directly at the original price.
After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen did not have any emotional changes, but explained patiently:
"Of course, we can indeed continue to discuss these conditions, but in fact this is a meaningless thing. A safe distance of one light-year is the most appropriate safe distance for us, and then we expand it. If this safe distance is used, it will make our space layout work difficult..."
Listening to Ning Chen's explanations, Song Xiyun also began to understand Ning Chen's good intentions.
Naturally, Ning Chen did not seek more terms with this alien civilization just to find it troublesome. In fact, before negotiating with this alien civilization, Ning Chen had already conducted very strict calculations and thus determined the final decision. Appropriate safe distance range.
With the current capabilities of Blue Star Civilization, the one-light-year space layout has almost reached its limit. Even if this range is expanded by only one-tenth, it will be difficult for Blue Star Civilization to completely cover this safety protection circle. It will leave some security holes.
Under such risks, a wider safety distance range is actually meaningless. When the two sides actually confront each other, this safety circle will be easily broken through by the other party.
Rather than suffer such a result, it is better to set the safe distance more reasonably from the beginning to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
As for the alien civilization's intention to deploy a space team at the edge of this range, Ning Chen had no need to stop it.
"In fact, as long as this alien civilization is willing, they can attack us at any time regardless of the risk of their civilization's location information being leaked. In this case, we do not need to overcorrect, but should push both sides as much as possible As long as their space fleet remains at this safe distance, they will never be able to reach Blue Star for at least twenty years. "
"Ning Chen, is our time calculation too optimistic? According to our previous analysis, this alien civilization already has very powerful space technology, which can allow their aircraft to reach one-tenth the speed of light at the fastest. Speed. With this speed, it only takes them ten years to travel a light-year distance."
"No, Song Xiyun, this is just the theoretical fastest speed. It does not take into account the process of acceleration and deceleration. If they just accelerate from scratch, one light-year distance will not even allow them to reach this fastest speed. We have to stop and slow down. According to this speculation, even if we make a pessimistic estimate, twenty years is the fastest time they can reach Blue Star."
"But Ning Chen, if they accelerate their space fleet in advance so that they can reach one-tenth the speed of light before reaching the boundary of this safe zone, then this time can be greatly advanced."
"This is indeed a bug that can be exploited, but if they really do this, we will definitely be able to detect it in advance. Because the slowdown of the space fleet is not something that can be easily done, if it is about to arrive If they still don't carry out any deceleration procedures before this boundary, it will be no different from directly breaking through our safety zone..."
After a pause, Ning Chen continued:
"What happened this time can be regarded as the only face we sold to this alien civilization. When the day when the two of us actually confront each other, I will make them realize that fighting against the Blue Star civilization is a What a stupid thing.”
…………
In the following time, the Blue Star Civilization and the alien civilization strictly followed the agreement signed by both parties, and each made their arrangements inside and outside the safety circle.
This alien civilization did not immediately show signs of continuing to attack the Blue Star civilization. All their space fleets were deployed at a distance of more than one light-year from the Blue Star, and they did not dare to cross this distance without authorization.
After all, one of the things they are most worried about right now is that Blue Star Civilization has leaked their specific location information. At least before Blue Star Civilization really does this, they must first think of a corresponding response strategy.
The Blue Star Civilization also sent some weapons such as aerospace fighters to the edge of this safe zone. Although these aerospace fighters may not be the opponents of the alien civilization's space fleet, they can at least play a certain reconnaissance role. .
After these air and space fighters gradually reached the edge, Ning Chen also noticed some unusual behaviors of this alien civilization's space fleet.
These space fleets are not stationed outside this area in a nearly static state. Instead, they all adopt a "patrol" posture and reciprocate in space.
There seemed to be nothing unusual about this reciprocating motion, but both Ning Chen and Song Xiyun quickly understood the purpose of this arrangement.
"This alien civilization is really cunning. If they are stationed in this patrolling posture, it will be very convenient for them to attack Blue Star at any time. It seems that the peace agreement they reached with us was just out of helplessness. They did not You really want to give up attacking us.”
"This is natural, but these actions do not violate our commitments, and they may not really be a bad thing for us."
Ning Chen's attitude towards this matter is much more optimistic than Song Xiyun's. It seems that this matter can bring some benefits to Ning Chen.
"So...Ning Chen, what is the beneficial part that we can get from this matter?"
Under Song Xiyun's questions, Ning Chen sent a biological program file to Song Xiyun through the brain's biological computer.
"Song Xiyun, through analyzing some of the movements of this alien civilization's space fleet these days, we have been able to restore the various performances of these space fleets. This information is still very important for us to fight against these space fleets in the future. of……"
Looking at the documents sent by Ning Chen, Song Xiyun also had a look of astonishment.
Part of Song Xiyun's consternation came from the consternation that Ning Chen had compiled this information. After all, this was information learned from a light-year away, and it was no less difficult than observing an ant on the Blue Star from the moon.
Moreover, the information Ning Chen learned was not any different from the information Song Xiyun learned. Using the same limited amount of information, Ning Chen was able to complete tasks that Song Xiyun could not even imagine.
"Ning Chen... your information restoration ability is really terrible. Before, I thought that with this information, I could only restore the simple framework of these space fleets. But the work you have done has obviously been More than 90% of the information on these space fleets was restored..."
What also surprised Song Xiyun was the powerful performance of these space fleets.
They not only have very fast speeds, but also have incredible attack power. If these space fleets are really allowed to enter the inner solar system, even a hundred blue stars may not be enough for them to destroy.
In front of these powerful space fleets, even if the Blue Star civilization sends out the most powerful weapons available, it will not cause any obvious damage to these space fleets.
"The gap in strength between us is indeed much larger than our optimistic expectations. This means that our strength is not at the same level at all. If we want to really be able to fight against them, we need to develop at least a new generation or even two generations of technology..."
After saying this, Ning Chen's expression gradually calmed down.
"But no matter what, it is much better to understand the true situation of the other party than to be unfriendly to the other party. You know, our civilization level was hundreds of years behind theirs, but now we have a chance to catch up with their technology in a few decades or even shorter time..."
The incredible technological development speed of Blue Star Civilization, no wonder this alien civilization regards Blue Star Civilization as a terrible threat and dares not let Blue Star Civilization continue to develop.
After arranging enough space fleets outside this safe area, this alien civilization did not dare to maintain this state, but continued to study how to fight against Blue Star Civilization.
"With the scale of the space fleet we have deployed now, it is enough to reach Blue Star Civilization within 20 years and completely destroy it. But even if we can destroy Blue Star Civilization, we still can't stop them from revealing our location information..."
This feeling of having a handle in the hands of the other party is not good, so how to stop Blue Star Civilization from doing this has become a key issue for them to discuss next.
