After the negotiations were completed, each side selected one hundred warships from their accompanying fleets to form an envoy to the other's civilization, and each returned to the main Civilization Main Body with the other's flagship.

The leaders of both sides then returned to their respective civilizations with the flagship and began to implement the plan step by step.

From the outward appearance, the establishment of this Allied Forces Command shows no change whatsoever, but neither side anticipated that it would become the foundation of a military alliance centered on humanity.

Of course not now. Obviously, humanity is not very confident in its military strength and has not yet reached a point where it can overwhelm civilizations of the same level. Therefore, such a military alliance will only take shape among the human elite after humanity acquires certain Characteristic Technology.

The reason why humanity has formed the Allied Forces Command is, frankly speaking, to use the power of the Nair Civilization to capture that growing Artificial Intelligence Consciousness.

Now, after returning to the Civilization Headquarters, Yue Yuan convened experts and scholars from all walks of life, as well as leaders from various departments, to discuss the detailed implementation process of the plan.

The discussions and plans were developed in detail regarding various issues such as how to upgrade the Nair People warships, how to integrate the combat system with the Nair Civilization, how to establish the Allied Forces Command Headquarters, how to replenish fleet supplies, how to supply Armor-Piercing Shells ammunition, and how to provide technical support.

Through rounds of discussion and negotiation, things gradually began to show results.

First, humanity's fifty Space Dock will be put back into operation to build more Lake-Class Warship for the two human fleets, bringing the total number of Lake-Class Warship to 1,250 per fleet.

Next, regarding exchanges with the Nair Civilization, while building New Warship, humanity also sent some experts to provide technical guidance to the Nair Civilization, which was located on another Gaseous Planet, on the Main Gun Modification.

Both are Level 2 Civilization and are located in the same Star System. With the travel capabilities of Level 2 Civilization, traveling between different planets in the same Star System is not a problem, just as simple as humans traveling from one country to another in the Earth Era.

Therefore, after both sides entered the implementation phase of the plan, within the orbit of this Yellow Dwarf Star, one could always see small fleets of warships traveling back and forth between the orbits of the two Gaseous Planet. As time went on, this situation intensified.

As the first step of the plan came to an end, there were even regular transport ship flights. In the promotional videos within both civilizations, images of individual lives of the other side were frequently seen, and there were also hosts introducing them to the public.

Of course, that's all.

After all, the two sides belong to different races, and doing this is merely to allow their own civilization to understand the other's racial characteristics, lifestyles, and so on.

According to the overall timetable set by humanity, after both sides made a mistake in the first step of the plan on this Yellow Dwarf Star, they will set off to leave for the next Star System.

The first step will take about fifteen years. The first to fourth steps are all preparatory stages for eliminating the Artificial Intelligence fleet. The entire process will take about three hundred years to complete.

This phase aims to enhance the combat effectiveness of the original Nair Civilization fleet and complete the overall integration work of the Allied Commander.

Then the real war will begin.

Humans knew, of course, that the Artificial Intelligence fleet that was chasing them wouldn't give them that much time. In fact, according to information from the Nair Civilization, after the first step of the plan was completed, the fleet would only be twelve years away from the Yellow Dwarf Star.

So how can we get those 285 years back? Humanity had already considered countermeasures when the plan was first proposed, which can be summarized in one sentence: use the lives of the Nair People to fill the gap.

Of course, this doesn't mean letting the Nair Civilization stay behind to cover their retreat and then rush in to their deaths. Instead, each time they retreat, they leave behind a Nair People fleet of about one hundred warships to harass and intercept the Artificial Intelligence fleet.

Yes, most of them are empty shells of warships.

In the tactics devised by humans, this fleet will split into two after making brief contact with the Artificial Intelligence fleet. The empty fleet will sail towards a certain point in space, while the other part, which includes the Nair People, will embark on the evacuation voyage of human and Nair Civilization Human Civilization and return to the embrace of the Main Civilization.

So it's not a 100% suicide mission. If you do it properly, it's still possible to survive.

The main purpose of this is to create misleading information for the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, making it unable to determine which star the main body of Human Civilization and Nair Civilization will target next.

This method undoubtedly takes advantage of the characteristic that Artificial Intelligence Consciousness is a single Main Consciousness that controls all its warships in multiple threads. Because of this characteristic, it cannot allow its fleet to be split in two, otherwise it will lose the other part of its fleet due to communication delays.

Thus, if Artificial Intelligence Consciousness makes a mistake even once, Human Civilization and Nair Civilization can gain decades of development time.

So why can't the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness detect the whereabouts of the main body of Human Civilization and Nair Civilization?

Humanity's solution is to move the Civilization Main Body to the far side of the star, placing the star between the two civilizations' Great Fleet and the Artificial Intelligence fleet.

After that, by using the starlight to cover the taillights of the fleet's acceleration, it is highly likely that the acceleration of the two civilizations' fleets can be concealed.

If the deception is successfully concealed, then the only way for the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness to determine the whereabouts of the two civilizations will be through guesswork.

However, since this star field is located on the edge of a cantilever, stars are very sparse. Therefore, even if the obstruction is successful, the two civilizations would not be able to reach many stars within the range of Level 2 Civilization travel technology.

Therefore, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness only needs to determine which stars the obscured journey is heading to, and then select one of them as the destination. Even in a blind guessing situation, there is still a 50% or 30% chance of guessing correctly.

Actually, this method can be used alone, but it's best to add another layer of confusion to the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness regarding the fleet's escape route the first time.

In short, it's a gamble. Once the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet makes a guess, given the distance between most stars in this star system, humanity and Niel will have about fifty years to catch up.

If we do this a few more times, we'll have three hundred years to go.

Therefore, according to humanity's plan, after the first step was completed, Human Civilization and Nair Civilization, based on the direction of the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness Fleet, went to the other side of the Yellow Dwarf Star in batches and began to use the star's light to shield their tail flames as they fled.
