Chapter 298: Break

The discovery at the beginning of the 23rd century did not unify humans, but instead directly caused a great break in humans.

Shortly after the discovery, a Chinese official who had long been inclined to split revealed the news that the light-speed spacecraft that discovered an alien civilization entered the solar system, which immediately triggered global panic. Almost everyone thought of the predictions made by Russell more than a hundred years ago overnight.

Soon after, the Sino-US coalition government was forced to admit that it was secretly building a spacecraft for escape.

This incident directly led to the breaking of humans in the universe and humans on earth, and almost triggered a full-scale war, that is, the Earth's government does not allow humans in the universe. If it were not for the imminent threat posed by alien civilizations, this war would likely lead to the extinction of humans.

You should know that in the early 23rd century, the technological means mastered by humans were enough to destroy the solar system.

After the inevitable division, two major camps emerged among human beings, namely the escape faction and the war faction.

The former supports human escape and all leave the solar system.

At that time, this was the most reasonable choice. Although humans did not know much about alien civilizations, based on the information they had already mastered, it can basically be concluded that the alien civilization 80 light-years away was far more developed than humans, and its technological level was much more advanced than humans. The most direct evidence is that the light-speed spacecraft entering the solar system could turn 180 degrees near Saturn's orbit without slowing down. You must know that with human technology, even if the spacecraft can accelerate the speed of light, it cannot turn directly.

Can humans surpass alien civilizations in eighty years?

Perhaps, there is such a possibility, but most scientists do not have hope.

The reason is very simple. In these eighty years, human civilization has been developing, and alien civilizations have also developed. Moreover, human technological progress in the past eighty years has not been able to catch up with alien civilizations at all.

In other words, eighty years later, human beings are still very backward civilizations.

The conclusion is that in the war with alien civilizations, there is no possibility of human beings winning.

Since you can't win, escaping is the only choice.

You should know that this is not like the war between humans. The losers will be tolerated and have the opportunity to grow and grow. Between two completely different civilizations, defeat means complete destruction. To put it simply, the war between cosmic civilizations is definitely a life-and-death battle, and there is no mercy to talk about. To put it more deeply, according to the theory proposed by Lu Wen and Russell, those civilizations that once pity their opponents in cosmic wars have all died because this act of mercy for alien civilizations will eventually lead to the extinction of this article.

The question is, can you escape?

To be precise, how many people can escape?

Theoretically speaking, if the alien civilization mastered the technological power that exceeded the gravity field theory, it would definitely have the ability to fly superluminal speed. Although human physicists are not very clear about what will happen after the superluminal speed, because there is no such theory, and the gravity field theory has fundamentally denied the relationship between superluminal speed and time reversal, that is, superluminal speed flight will not cause time regression. However, one thing is very clear, that is, superluminal speed technology can enable alien civilizations to reach the solar system in a very short time.

The result is that human civilization does not even have a chance to escape.

Obviously, what the escapee can count on is that alien civilizations have not mastered super-light speed technology, so human civilization still has at least eighty years to prepare for escape, and the aerospace technology mastered by human civilization can at least ensure that alien civilizations will never catch up with the escapee.

In fact, this is the common theoretical basis for the escapee and war factions, that is, alien civilizations and human civilizations are on the same technical level, and there is no theoretical gap. It is just that alien civilizations mastered the theory of gravity field earlier, so they surpassed humans in practical application.

The key question is, how many people can escape from the solar system?

You should know that by this time, the total human population has exceeded 500 billion and is growing at a rate of hundreds of millions per day.

The conclusion is very pessimistic.

In the next eighty years, even if all non-essential economic activities are stopped, the power of all mankind is concentrated, and spacecraft used to escape will only allow less than one billion people to escape in the solar system in the next eighty years, which means that only 0.2% of people can escape. If the population growth in the next eighty years is counted, less than one thousandth of the total population can escape.

Even if it is one thousandth, this is a very pessimistic result.

You know, everyone wants to be the lucky one among a thousand people, and no one is willing to stay and wait for the verdict of death.

What arises from this is definitely the despair that surrounds the entire human head.

At that time, a wave of self-destruction swept the world, which was tens of thousands of times the scale of suicide wave that occurred after the discovery of the moon more than a hundred years ago.

According to unofficial statistics, nearly 10 billion people have self-destructed in just ten years.

It was at this moment that the war faction appeared.

The core view of the war faction is exactly the same as the escape faction, that is, alien civilizations are on the same level as humans and have no insurmountable technological advantages. Therefore, as long as human civilization grasps the next eighty years, it can win the first cosmic war.

Of course, the premise is that human civilization must be highly unified.

At this time, humans in the universe parted ways with humans on earth, and humans in the universe were established, and they took it as their mission to fight against alien civilizations.

On the contrary, the humans on Earth at that time were still controlled by the escape faction.

Because of the huge differences in resource allocation, that is, humans in the universe advocate preparing for war with all their strength, using all their resources for military projects related to war, while humans on earth advocate escaping with all their strength and using all their resources to build spacecraft for escape, so in the early days of the birth of humans in the universe, the two major components of humans almost broke out. In name, humans on earth do not allow humans in the universe to be safe. In fact, it was the two major human political bodies that had conflicts in resources and met in order to compete for resources.

In a sense, humans in the universe had no chance of winning at all at that time.

You should know that among the 500 billion people, only about one billion are humans in the universe, and the other are humans on earth. At least according to their residence, this ratio is this.

Interestingly, the humans in the universe were the ones who won the final victory in this struggle.

There are two main reasons. One is that humans in the universe threaten to destroy all space facilities, regress human civilization for decades, and block the passage into the universe; the other is that humans in the universe have reached a compromise with humans on earth, that is, not to destroy the ten built escape spacecraft, and at the last moment, let 100,000 humans on earth leave the solar system, fly into the deep space with human fire, so as to plant seeds for the next rise.

Of course, the main reason is the former.

Don’t forget that due to the impact of gravity field fluctuations, you must not fly at the speed of light near the earth. You must fly at the speed of light at one million kilometers. The result is that as long as the humans in the universe are determined to break the dead, the human escape spacecraft on Earth will not be able to safely reach one million kilometers away.

To put it bluntly, without the cooperation of humans in the universe, humans on Earth cannot escape.

As the war factions gained the upper hand, full preparations began.

The question is, what is the universe war like?

Obviously, no one knows, and no one can even imagine what the war in the universe would look like.

At that time, many people still pondered the war between humans and believed that wars between different civilizations still had to follow the most fundamental principles of war.

Those who hold this view are the core figures of the war faction.

This is also very simple. The war faction was originally formed by a group of soldiers. Even the universe civilization was formed by soldiers, but the five major consortiums were supported by them. In the eyes of these soldiers, no matter what kind of war it is, as long as it is a war, the fighting style will be inseparable.

The result is that, tactically, all preparations are based on wars between humans.

At that time, the most famous one was the space fleet tactics.

The core of this tactic, the naval fleet tactics from humans, only changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and added some characteristics of cosmic warfare.

The result is that when humans in the universe were born, they invested in large-scale arms expansion and began to build space warships at any cost.

According to records, in the first twenty years, humans in the universe built more than 10,000 space warships.

Each of these warships has a tonnage of more than one million tons, and the largest one exceeds 100 million tons. The most powerful warship can destroy an asteroid.

In fact, this is just the beginning, or a warm-up exercise.

In the next sixty years, humans in the universe built almost one million superspace warships.

Among these warships, the smallest one is 100 million tons, and the largest one is over 100 billion tons. The most powerful warship can destroy a terrestrial planet.

At that time, humans in the universe also transformed some asteroids to make them space warships.

As for the military bases located on satellites of giant outer planets, there are countless, and a smallest space warship port can accommodate a thousand space warships.

Of course, all space warships have the ability to fly at the speed of light.

To put it bluntly, in the war faction, there are also some people who hold the view of escape, that is, they must at least be able to escape from the battlefield when they cannot defeat the enemy.

In fact, there are almost one billion officers and soldiers on these huge warships.

In other words, if you want to escape, at least one billion people can escape. However, warships are not escape spacecrafts, and the fuel they carry can only last for a hundred years, and after reaching the speed of light, they can only slow down at most once, so they are definitely not as good as special escape spacecraft for escape.

Of course, everyone later knew that this was an extremely wrong tactical idea.

Although cosmic wars are also wars, they are completely different from wars between humans, because wars between humans have never considered complete destruction. You should know that even in a comprehensive nuclear war, there will be some survivors that cannot completely destroy humans.

The purpose of cosmic warfare is to completely destroy another civilization!
