Plans Underway
On the Lyra.
After a brief discussion, Yue Yuan made the final decision: Let's do it!
Since escape is impossible, let's fight back!
From the moment Yue Yuan made the decision, humanity's strategic objective changed from fleeing to defeating and capturing the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet.
Therefore, from this point on, the topics of discussion in the Command Center also changed. With the objective set, the first step was to brainstorm strategies, since one couldn't just act recklessly.
After a brief discussion, everyone reached a consensus: to defeat the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet, it would be best to rely on the power of the Nair Civilization.
The current human population is less than 200 million, and the number of warships is only 2,200.
A fleet with advanced armor might be able to win on its own, but the losses would be substantial. Human beings are so precious; they cannot be sacrificed so easily.
Therefore, we must make use of the Nair Civilization.
As for how to utilize it, that will need to be discussed with the Nair Civilization.
In any case, it's impossible to transfer the Mechanical Mastery Core Technology to them according to the current demands of the Nair Civilization, because that's a strategy for everyone to run away together.
Therefore, the first thing humanity needs to do now is to change the mindset of the Nair Civilization and make them accept our strategy of eliminating the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet.
Only when both sides reach a consensus on the major goals can the subsequent detailed operations proceed smoothly.
After deciding on this strategy, the humans sent their ideas to the Nair Civilization, which had completed the deceleration.
Dozens of hours later, the Nair Civilization responded with a video message. The staff skillfully imported the video into the computer, and in the next breath, the former Grand Governor of the First Star Region, now also the Grand Governor of the Nair Civilization, appeared on the large screen.
At the same time, the translated audio was also broadcast from the loudspeaker in the Lyra Command Center.
Oh my God! Human Civilization!
After receiving your message, we listened to it several times to confirm we hadn't misheard. There was no interference during transmission, and no information was lost. Yes, so we're certain: your Human Civilization has truly gone mad.
On the big screen, the Grand Governor of the Nair Civilization waved his claws, making rhythmic snapping noises, indicating his utter shock, though humans couldn't decipher any meaning from them.
Then we saw the Governor of the Nielmans continue speaking by trembling his abdominal vocal organs.
Yes, your Human Civilization must be insane. How could you have such an idea? That's Artificial Intelligence fleet! It has unparalleled construction capabilities. It doesn't know fatigue or hardship. Its machines can work day and night. The machines it controls can coordinate perfectly. In combat, the coordination between the warships is something we can hardly match.
At the same time, it possesses such a powerful fleet, and now you actually want to tell us that you want to destroy it? Forgive my bluntness, but even if both of our civilizations were combined, Human Civilization would not be its match.
Therefore, we believe that our solution is more effective. You share that technology with us, help us master and utilize it, and finally, together we can escape this star system.
I had anticipated that the Nair Civilization might not agree so easily, but I never expected them to refuse so resolutely. Moreover, their words were filled with fear of the Artificial Intelligence fleet.
After watching the video response from the Nair Civilization, Yue Yuan couldn't help but purse his lips. "Tsk! It seems that unless we make things clear, the Nair Civilization won't realize the problem. They still think they have the upper hand."
After muttering something, Yue Yuan tilted his head back to look at the large screen that had returned to its original state and said, "'Tianhe Light', activate the reply video recording!"
"Ready, you may begin!" The synthesized voice of the Tianhe Light then appeared.
The Nair Civilization fleet and the human race are currently very far apart, with distances measured in Astronomical Unit. Therefore, communication can no longer be conducted via real-time video as it was on the other Pot Lid Vastness Star.
At this moment, after hearing that 'Tianhe Light' was ready, Yue Yuan began to speak, looking up at the camera.
[Your Grand Governor, you seem to have misunderstood something. The 'strategy for eliminating the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet's we discussed with you was not a discussion, but a notification! Do you understand? It was a notification, not a discussion!]
Discussion is a two-way street, while notification is unilateral, implying that you must listen to my instructions.
Yue Yuan's statement was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of a discussion among everyone.
Of course, the point is not to fall out with the Nair Civilization at this point in time, but to take a tough stance and make the Nair Civilization understand that the initiative is on the side of humanity, so as to win the initiative for future cooperation.
After a pause, Yue Yuan continued speaking to the camera.
[Hehe, first of all, Your Grand Governor needs to understand that if our Human Civilization wants to leave this Yellow Dwarf Star, even if you have twice as many warships, it will be of no use. We can still ensure that no war can get within one Astronomical Unit of our Residential Spaceship Cluster.]
Secondly, Your Grand Governor should understand that our Human Civilization is fully capable of annihilating you completely and then leaving gracefully. Please don't rush to refute me, Your Grand Governor; you might as well let your advisors think carefully about the basis for my statement.
Alright, to save you the trouble, I'll just point out a few things: First, our Human Civilization is indeed a Wandering Civilization, and our experiences in space are beyond your imagination. Second, based on the information you've provided about the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, we've calculated its resupply speed, and the conclusion is that it can't catch up with us. I believe you've also realized this, which is why you're so determined to come and obtain our "rapid resupply" technology.
Furthermore, on behalf of Human Civilization, I would like to express to Your Grand Governor Human Civilization as a benevolent civilization, we are deeply saddened to see your civilization being attacked by the Artificial Intelligence fleet. This is why I devised the strategy I mentioned earlier: to eliminate the Artificial Intelligence fleet.
Your Grand Governor, please rest assured. Since our Human Civilization dares to say such a thing, we are naturally very confident. However, this matter is ultimately yours, so we hope that you will cooperate fully.
When the time comes, after destroying the Artificial Intelligence fleet, you Revenge Achieved and can return to your home planet to rescue your compatriots. We, on the other hand, can then embark on our own cosmic journey of Human Civilization without any further worries. Why not?
Next, Yue Yuan described the glorious image of the Nair People returning to their home planet to save their compatriots after defeating the Artificial Intelligence fleet. He then mentioned that some people would divide up the AI technology after the defeat, and finally he made some promises to the Nair People, such as that Human Civilization would provide some technical support to the Nair Civilization after the two sides cooperated.
I won't miss New Year's Day, yo ho ho ho~
