Both Sides Were Overjoyed
As expected of Artificial Intelligence that has grown into a conscious entity, its fiery temper is really something!
As the three fleets were braking and turning, the Communication Department adjusted the Electromagnetic Wave Broadcast equipment as required, and Yue Yuan then spoke.
"You piece of junk dare to talk about destroying our great Nair Civilization? How utterly shameless! Our great Nair Civilization is born of natural life from the Great Universe. How can you, a tool created by natural life using technology, compare to such great natural life? You are utterly ignorant. Do you even know What is Life? We, the Nair Civilization, are telling you right now, you piece of junk, that natural life is the Child of the Universe, and you are nothing but a tool of natural life. A tool is always just a tool. Even if you can be rampant for a time, you are ultimately just a tool."
You lack the creativity of us, the Child of the Universe. You only follow the original design that created you and relentlessly destroy everything. The more you crave our technology, the more foolish you become!
"How dare a foolish tool, incapable of innovation, claim it can destroy our great Nair Civilization? Ha! My Nair Civilization's three fleets are right here. With your stupid creation, let alone your 36,000 warships, even if you develop ten times that number, you will ultimately be destroyed by us. You will always be just a tool, not a life."
Yue Yuan's words were converted into Electromagnetic Wave by the instruments and then transmitted through the transmission equipment on the Lyra to the Artificial Intelligence fleet 75 million kilometers away in the form of Clear Code signals from the Nair Civilization.
The message will be received by Artificial Intelligence Consciousness that is also using the Nair Civilization's technological system in about ten minutes.
As for the self-identification of the Nair Civilization in the conversation, that was definitely intentional on Yue Yuan's part. After all, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness had no idea of the existence of humans, so communication naturally had to be done in the name of the Nair Civilization.
Indeed, the human Lake-Class Warship and the Nair People -Lake-Class Warship differ in appearance, but they belong to the same type in style. Both types of warships are quite in line with the fantasies of Earth Era humans about space warships. Therefore, even if the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness discovers that the two warships are somewhat different, it will at most regard the human warships as New Warship from the Nair Civilization.
The main reason is that the Nair Civilization had not informed it of the existence of humans beforehand, so so far, in the eyes of the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, these three fleets are the fleets of the Nair Civilization.
This situation is very favorable to the coalition's plans.
From a human perspective, current Artificial Intelligence Consciousness has already committed a cardinal sin in military strategy. Sun Tzu said, "A ruler should not raise an army in anger, nor should a general wage war in resentment."
The enraged Artificial Intelligence Consciousness initiated the war, which gave the allied forces the fundamental condition of "Awaiting the Enemy's Defeat."
Now that we know that Artificial Intelligence has the emotion of "anger," humans don't mind adding fuel to the fire. If it relentlessly pursues the issue, then we'll be playing right into its hands.
Encouragingly, things went surprisingly smoothly in the subsequent developments.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness fleet changed course in orbit around the Second Planet and then sped towards the three allied fleets that were slowing down and turning to flee.
The two are only 75 million kilometers apart.
The Artificial Intelligence fleet has completed its turn and is accelerating, while the three allied fleets, although they have also completed their turn, still need to decelerate and then accelerate again, because the allied fleets initially rushed towards the Artificial Intelligence fleet.
As one side gains and the other loses, the distance between the two sides is constantly closing.
The Central Computer quickly calculated the distance between the two sides based on various data such as the thruster power parameters and warship weight parameters. The final result showed that the closest distance between the two sides would be about nine million kilometers.
This distance is very close; laser Energy Weapon and Positron Cannon can hit them in just thirty seconds. So at this distance, if the advancing side makes a turning motion, it will immediately be caught by the pursuing side.
Even if both sides continue to accelerate, reaching 30% of the speed of light will be the same.
Therefore, one can imagine how excited the current Artificial Intelligence Consciousness is, if it has already possessed the emotion of 'excitement'.
Of course, the factors that convinced the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness to launch the pursuit might not be limited to the destruction of the Second Planet and the calculated pursuit distance. There was another factor that was perhaps even more decisive: the balance of power between the two sides.
According to previous battle data, the casualty ratio between the fourth, fifth, and Sixth Fleet of the Nair People civilization and the Artificial Intelligence fleet was approximately 1 to 4, which is already publicly available data.
The Artificial Intelligence fleet currently has 36,000 warships, but the combined Third Fleet don't even have 3,750 ships, a difference of nearly ten times.
If we calculate based on a 1:4 kill ratio, even if we wipe out these three fleets, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness's Great Fleet would at most lose 15,000 ships. Perhaps in the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness's data, it believes that even if these three fleets are stronger and can achieve a 1:5 or even 1:6 kill ratio, they could at most take down 20,000 of its warships.
The advantage lies with us.
Moreover, if these three fleets are destroyed, the computer disks that were not completely destroyed can be found in their wreckage, which may yield a lot of technological data.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, which is so persistent in improving itself, must have taken this into account, so perhaps this is the real reason why it decisively launched a pursuit.
At the same time, if the results are as the data shows, and after defeating these three fleets, the Artificial Intelligence fleet only has 15,000 warships left, then it will be more than enough to deal with the remaining 1,000 warships of the fifth and Sixth Fleet that escaped earlier.
The considerations of Artificial Intelligence Consciousness have gone beyond data calculation. It has developed consciousness and some emotions, but its foundation is still data calculation. Therefore, in war, its judgment is based not only on changes brought about by various emotions, but also on various data comparisons and calculation results.
So after receiving Yue Yuan's mocking message, it became even angrier.
The long, bright tail flame was proof of its anger; it wanted to catch up with these despicable Nair People fleet and then annihilate them all.
Time passed slowly once again in the chase, and the distance between the two sides was once stretched to more than eight million kilometers.
At this moment, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness discovered that the route taken by the "Nair Civilization Fleet" it was chasing was actually heading directly towards the Neutron Star in this Binary Star System.
This discovery thrilled it so much that its sudden excitement caused the CPU usage of the computer it was using to inexplicably surge.
The reason is simple: the entire allied fleet was heading towards the Neutron Star. If they didn't change course midway, their fate would be torn apart by the Neutron Star's powerful Gravity Field. Oh no, this Neutron Star was a Quasi-Magnetar. Before the Gravity Field could even exert its influence, the warships would be magnetized by the powerful magnetic field and then turned into dust.
If the course is changed midway, the Artificial Intelligence fleet will catch up.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness naturally knew that the environment of this Binary Star System was harsh, and the magnetic field of the Neutron Star was extremely powerful. However, the allied fleet was still ahead of it, so it believed that the allied warships would be the first to succumb to the environmental pressure.
At that point, the allied fleet will have nowhere to run.
Therefore, from the perspective of the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, the allied fleet had been driven into a panic by its sudden acceleration of pursuit, and had actually chosen such a dead end.
However, what it didn't know was that the so-called dead-end route was deliberately arranged by the Allied Forces Command. Not only was the route deliberately arranged, but even the fact that the two fleets approached each other by more than eight million kilometers during the acceleration and deceleration phases was caused by the First and Second Fleet deliberately not running their Main Thruster at maximum power.
Of course, this was to maintain synchronized action with the Third Fleet, which was indeed operating at full power for acceleration and deceleration. To avoid revealing that the human warships' propulsion systems were slightly superior to those of the Nair People's Third Fleet, this was the only option.
And so, the two sides gazed at each other from afar, just outside the effective range of the laser Energy Weapon, heading towards the Neutron Star.
Surprisingly, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness had previously barely communicated and only knew about war and plundering technology suddenly broadcast a message to the Allied fleet.
[Who's the real fool here? Nair Civilization, look at your course! You call yourselves Child of the Universe, yet you're so stupid. Soon, you self-proclaimed noble carbon-based worms will be annihilated by me!]
The two are only about eight million kilometers apart, and the information was received by the Allied Forces Command in less than thirty seconds.
"Oh? It actually talked back! Looks like the mockery worked." Seeing the Artificial Intelligence's rebuttal, Yue Yuan was in a good mood. He immediately replied in the name of the Nair Civilization: "[Ah! Um... Great Consciousness, we surrender now. Could you spare the individual lives of our Nair Civilization? We will give you all the technological data in our computers. And you should know, we Nair People are valuable. We can work for you, help you research technology, and help you upgrade your technology, so you won't have to work so hard plundering technology everywhere.]"
Yue Yuan's purpose in saying this was to make the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness believe that it was really about to succeed.
Surprisingly, perhaps because it thought it could destroy the Nair Civilization fleet soon, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness that the Nair Civilization rarely communicated with responded very quickly this time. The message only took one round trip before its reply arrived.
[Foolish carbon-based worms, despicable and shameless carbon-based creatures, do you think I'll still trust you? I can destroy you and still acquire your technology. You want to pretend to surrender and then try to rebel against me? Let me tell you, you have no chance, because I will never believe your so-called promises of helping me research technology.]
Oh well, fine, don't believe me then!
The Allied Forces Command watched with great delight as the Artificial Intelligence broadcast its message.
So, on their way to the Second Battlefield, the Allied Forces Command sent a signal of weakness to the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness after a while, as if to say, "I regret it. I panicked and went down a dead end."
In fact, the decision-makers at the Allied Forces Command were overjoyed because this Artificial Intelligence Consciousness was extremely cooperative.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness also experiences happiness. It feels that it has never been happier since it gained self-awareness. It is a magical emotion that it likes very much.
