Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 1042: Everything Has Two Sides

As an ancient sixth-level civilization, the Shenju civilization also has a huge fleet like other old-fashioned sixth-level civilizations, and there are many life planets in their fleet.

What surprised humans was that the ordinary individual life of the Shenju civilization did not live on life planets, but lived on spaceships like humans.

And their life planets are basically biospheres, with about thirty biosphere planets.

Under the constraints of the gravity technology of the Shenju civilization, they did not show gravity to the outside world. However, humans know that the mass of the planet is still there, and the gravity is there when the mass is there, but it is blocked by the Shenju civilization.

More than 30 biosphere planets are mixed in the huge fleet and are inconspicuous, but the fleets of the three civilizations are very close at this moment, all within a light year, so humans can easily observe their existence, or watch them openly through the third-person driving perspective.

The entire three-party joint fleet is in full view.

The largest one belongs to the Shenju civilization, which has nearly 80 billion ships, which is the sum of all types of ships, including residential ships, engineering ships, exploration ships, and warships.

Level 6 civilizations have a huge scale of ships, which are basically at the level of 10 billion, and some even reach 100 billion, but there are not so many warships. The reason is that the warships of level 6 civilizations are too large, and the resources consumed to build a sub-civilization-level warship are naturally more. If every level 6 civilization can build warships infinitely, the Milky Way would have been hollowed out long ago.

The scale of the main battleships of level 6 civilizations is also affected by various factors, such as the scale of civilization and maintenance costs.

Similarly, the fleets of level 6 civilizations are not monotonous, nor are they all sub-civilization-level huge warships. There are also various mountain-level, lake-level, sea-level, planet-level, and star-level spacecraft. The scale of 80 billion warships of Shenju civilization is the sum of all these ships.

And their main battleships are actually only about 10 billion.

This number is less than many civilizations, but it is already the limit of Shenju civilization, because they have more important warships to take care of, that is, neutron battle stars.

And having neutron battle stars is enough.

In comparison, the scale of human civilization ships is very small. After all, when they came to the microcosm of Shenju civilization, the human fleet was almost wiped out. After so many years of construction, there are only 30,000 sub-civilization-level warships now, and the star-level warships have recovered to 3 million.

The Daya civilization is similar, but their total number of ships is much larger than that of humans. After all, they are an old fifth-level civilization.

Therefore, the joint fleet of the three civilizations looks like there is only one civilization, Shenju civilization.

Of course, Shenju civilization did not look down on humans and Daya civilization because of the difference in the number of fleets, especially human civilization. They are very clear about the power of the human Tianqin.

Humans have long learned from Daya civilization that some sixth-level civilizations often dispatch fleets of tens of billions. In fact, the fleet is also mixed with various types of spacecraft, and the super-stellar-level warships as the main battle force are also about tens of billions.

But that is already a lot. You have to know that there are only 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. If every level 6 civilization has hundreds of billions of warships as big as stars, the Milky Way would have been hollowed out long ago.

Of course, the way level 6 civilization obtains matter is not limited to the star system, but from dark matter with a larger content, which is the main source of material for their warship construction.

However, they do not directly use dark matter to build warships. After all, dark matter only interacts with gravity, which level 6 civilization cannot change, but they can use technological means to turn some dark matter into bright matter through some physical process.

This is an important technology in the technology tree of level 6 civilization. Shenju civilization calls it dark matter conversion technology. Whether it is mastered or not is the key to whether a level 6 civilization can have a scale of hundreds of billions of ships.

Without this technology, you can only go to those poor star systems in the universe to mine or even pack stars. Obviously, this is a huge project that is thankless. Most level 6 civilizations do not rely on it to complete the construction of hundreds of billions of ships.

There are basically no level 6 civilizations that want to mine directly in the universe. No, there were some before, but they made too much noise and were destroyed by the harvesters.

Since then, no civilization in the Milky Way dares to capture stars in the universe recklessly. Correspondingly, there is no mechanical civilization that only knows how to expand itself infinitely.

At the beginning, humans also consulted the Shenju civilization on this issue.

Shenju civilization said that the Milky Way actually had such a civilization, which was said to come from a rebellious strong artificial intelligence. Later, after destroying its main civilization, that strong artificial intelligence built itself into a huge mechanical life empire.

After that, the mechanical life empire began to expand infinitely. After mining the resources and stars of a galaxy, they went to the next galaxy, and replicated and expanded infinitely.

But when they seemed to be sweeping across the galaxy with an unstoppable trend. Oh no, they were destroyed when they only swept across one-third of the galaxy's spiral arms.

It was the harvesters who destroyed them.

The Reapers simply dispatched electronic warships and completely wiped out the mechanical life empire that was so huge and arrogant that it did not take any technological civilization seriously.

It was about seven million years ago. Since then, the Milky Way has never seen mechanical life wreaking havoc.

The silicon-based consortium that appeared later actually has the ability to expand infinitely, but they dare not do so at all.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

From this perspective, the existence of the reapers has provided a very comfortable living environment for many low-level carbon-based life in the Milky Way. In addition, the reapers themselves do not bother to touch those low-level civilizations. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the umbrella of protection for low-level civilizations.

However, it is limited to low-level civilizations. Once they grow up to become a level 6 civilization, they will naturally become the target of the reapers.

Everything has two sides. The level 6 civilization looks at the extremely evil reapers and the reapers who hinder their great voyages, but in some ways, they protect the low-level civilizations.

Of course, this may be because they deliberately let the low-level civilization grow up, but no matter what, it is better for the low-level civilization than being directly abducted by the Silver Heart Alliance.

Each civilization defines good and evil from its own standpoint, but nature does not distinguish between good and evil. Everyone is just trying to survive.

The figures of the three civilization fleets sank into the cosmic void and moved in a certain direction at ordinary cruising speed. At the same time, a large number of detection spacecraft were also sent out to alert all movements in the surrounding starry sky.

At the same time, they were also searching for all traces of advanced civilizations in the nearby starry sky.

The three civilizations that have been hiding in the small universe for five thousand years now have the greatest need for information, the latest dynamic information of the Milky Way. They need to know the situation of the major sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way and those ancient sixth-level civilizations.

According to the plan of the Shenju civilization, the three civilizations will form a joint fleet from now on, and after exploring the current situation in the Milky Way, they will begin to promote the plan of a united front against the harvesters.

Admittedly, human civilization still has a lot of things to do, such as revenge, such as exploring some magical phenomena encountered before, but since it has already stood on this front, it is harmless to postpone those things a little. Maybe in this process, the Tianxing civilization can be found.
