Human Civilization and Artificial Intelligence Consciousness belong to the Level 2 Civilization technology, but even though they are both Level 2 Civilization, there is a generational gap between them.

Or, to be more precise, this generational gap is caused by alloy material Alloy No. 2, which should not exist at the level of Level 2 Civilization.

The combination of the formidable defensive capabilities of the armor, the advance planning, the vast amount of battlefield environmental data, and the initial attrition tactics has resulted in the current overwhelming situation.

Countless Artificial Intelligence warships were destroyed one by one in a short period of time.

At this moment, the entire silent battlefield seemed to echo with the non-existent wails of warships, which had all been reduced to scrap metal.

In the near future, these warship wrecks, now reduced to scrap metal but still moving towards the Neutron Star, will, under the influence of the law of conservation of angular momentum, change from heading straight for the Neutron Star to orbiting it. After countless years, they will get closer and closer to the Neutron Star, then be broken up by Neutron Star powerful Gravity and finally fall onto Neutron Star surface.

When they actually fall into the Neutron Star, whatever they were originally made of will eventually become part of the Neutron Star's matter.

This was the ultimate fate of these destroyed warships.

At this moment, the Allied fleet's signal receiving system received a disgruntled signal.

That was broadcast by Artificial Intelligence Consciousness via electromagnetic broadcast; clearly, it was feeling uneasy and afraid about its future fate.

However, unease and fear were not enough to make it consider surrendering, because it still had a chance to escape, since its fleet had already slowed down.

In terms of overall speed, its fleet was no longer moving towards the Neutron Star, but was resisting the attack of the allied fleet while searching for a possible way to break through.

Yes, break through.

Originally a term used when a small force is surrounded by a large force, the Artificial Intelligence fleet now has a full 18,000 warships. However, facing more than 3,000 warships on the other side, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness feels that it is indeed looking for an opportunity to break out.

"Damn the Nair Civilization! You've been hiding your strength! Tell me, wasn't coming to this star system a pre-planned scheme?! You despicable carbon-based worms! You've spent centuries deceiving me! You just wait! Once I leave this place, it will be your doom!"

Faced with the futile cries of the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, the Allied Forces Command completely ignored it and did not clarify that the Allied fleet was not solely Nair Civilization. Instead, it focused on tracking the movements of its main warships.

The Artificial Intelligence fleet, which had suffered nearly half its casualties, was still coordinating well between its warships, but some unusual behaviors had begun to emerge.

They no longer charged towards the densely packed Allied warships as they had at the beginning, but instead retreated further to the center, protecting their main bodies within a defensive perimeter.

Perhaps the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness has realized that it is completely unable to kill the opposing fleet, or rather, the two fleets that look somewhat different from the previous fleets. It can occasionally destroy a few ships in the other fleet, but those two fleets are practically impervious to bullets and blades.

After the Positron Cannon were completely defended by the Magnetic Shield, its fleet had no weapons that could harm the two fleets.

Seeing that its main gun had only caused a slight change in the speed of the enemy, the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness was filled with despair.

So, after its angry roar went unanswered, it unusually activated its deepest thoughts and began to plan its escape route.

From being full of confidence to being beaten so badly that all they wanted to do was run away, it only took six short hours.

It was in this short period of time that the Artificial Intelligence fleet lost nearly half of its warships, demonstrating the intensity of the battle and the efficiency of the massacre.

"Commander Yue, the Artificial Intelligence fleet has split into two. One part is rushing towards the area where the Third Fleet is located, while the other part has created gaps between its warships and is recklessly surging towards our area and the Second Fleet's area."

A report rang out in the Lyra Command Center.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan turned to look at the battlefield star map, which displayed a real-time dynamic map of the battlefield. From it, it could be seen that the bright spots representing the Artificial Intelligence fleet were indeed divided into two groups.

"It's too late to run away now."

Yue Yuan thought to himself, and then ordered the Second Fleet to keep a close watch on the group of warships heading towards the Third Fleet from behind. At the same time, he also ordered the Third Fleet to do everything in their power to locate and stop the Artificial Intelligence's main warship.

The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness wasn't stupid; it knew that the Third Fleet was the weakest in terms of combat power, so it ran towards the area where the Third Fleet's warships were located. However, it probably didn't know that its original body had already been marked by the Allied Forces Command when the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Fleet launched their initial raids.

Therefore, no matter how it splits its fleet or how it moves, the allied fleet will keep an eye on its main body, and all warships will maneuver accordingly to block it based on the direction of its main body's movement.

If the two sides were evenly matched in combat strength, such unbridled movement and blocking would definitely cause huge losses to themselves, but now humans are not worried at all.

Such an order would at most cause some losses to the Third Fleet. If one of the two human fleets were destroyed, the most likely cause would be its own internal systems failing and being destroyed by the harsh environment, rather than being destroyed by Artificial Intelligence -powered warships.

Upon receiving the order, the Second Fleet reacted immediately and brazenly deployed into Skirmish Formation. 1,250 warships dispersed and sailed from all directions, rushing towards the warship where the Artificial Intelligence was located.

This order was unacceptable to the Third Fleet, as it could result in heavy casualties, but under these circumstances, they had no choice but to accept it.

Because the Grand Governor of the Niel people has come to a deep understanding of the strength of human military power, to be weak now would be to disobey orders, and the Niel civilization would suffer the consequences.

Therefore, the Third Fleet immediately adopted the same formation as the Second Fleet, blocking flight paths in all directions of space.

Meanwhile, the First Fleet, led by the Lyra, continued to engulf the much larger squadrons, launching the second phase of the massacre.

At this moment, the battlefield had become a stage for Laser Energy Cannon and Electromagnetic Railgun, with one Artificial Intelligence warship after another being slain by these two main weapons.

It is worth mentioning that in this harsh environment, the Laser Energy Cannon, which would normally require two or even three or four hits, only needs one shot to take down a warship.

Needless to say, Electromagnetic Railgun can penetrate armor and cause Big Bang upon impact, taking down a ship with a single shot.

Under such circumstances, the massacre was extremely efficient. In just three hours after the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness began its escape, another 12,000 of its 18,000 warships were destroyed.

There's not much today because I've been too busy these past few days. I've used up all my drafts, and I have to work through the night again tomorrow, so there won't be any more tomorrow. I'll resume writing the day after tomorrow.
