Eyes Never Left Combat Power
The success of Magnetic Propulsion also signifies the true beginning of the Great Fleet Plan.
Under the operation of Strong Artificial Intelligence, human robot factories continuously produce robots, and various automated exploration and mining equipment are also deployed to the planet in large quantities.
In just a few short years, the planets that humanity has primarily developed have become oceans of machinery, with automated equipment of all kinds constantly moving back and forth across them. Space Elevator have been put into use, Orbital Mass Accelerator are constantly sending supplies to spaceports, and fully automated transport ships are frequently traveling between orbits.
From exploring resources to transporting them to space factories, and then creating finished and semi-finished products for use by construction robots and engineering equipment in space.
All of this was accomplished under the control of Strong Artificial Intelligence. Humans only needed to monitor the process at the source and did not need to personally travel to the planet to carry out development work as before.
Even the manufacture of warships can now be completely done without humans.
Because the Strong Artificial Intelligence created by Human Civilization has the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness that was captured there as a reference, the Strong Artificial Intelligence created by humans has the ability to build ships independently once it has completed training.
Of course, for new construction, humans still need to provide the blueprints.
The design blueprints were already prepared by humans, as prototype experimental ships had been built and tested. After that, the engineers optimized the design blueprints several more times based on the test results, finalized the design, and then handed the data over to Strong Artificial Intelligence.
It is a comprehensive Strong Artificial Intelligence on the Lyra.
This Strong Artificial Intelligence works in the same way as Artificial Intelligence Consciousness, operating in a multi-threaded manner rather than self-replicating.
Self-replicating Strong Artificial Intelligence is something humans already have the means to create, but not in a way that allows it to replicate itself and enslave itself. Instead, it's about expanding the reach of Supercomputer Strong Artificial Intelligence Strong Artificial Intelligence.
A mastered technology has the potential for mass production, and Strong Artificial Intelligence is no exception. The military-grade Strong Artificial Intelligence that humanity plans to create in the Great Fleet Plan follow this model.
Of course, given the complexity of Supercomputer manufacturing, it's not impossible for humanity to infinitely expand through the creation of machines using Strong Artificial Intelligence. However, this would take a very, very long time, unless we possess something like the 'all-purpose metal' in science fiction movies, capable of transforming into various finished mechanical structures at will according to a program. But such technology currently only exists in fantasy.
Even so, the scene of launching the Great Fleet Plan was hundreds of times more spectacular than before.
Looking around, we can see that there are now spots of light above the planetary orbits. Zooming in, we can clearly see that these spots of light are brightly lit working Space Dock. Some are already built and in use, while Space Dock are under construction.
Looking at them, they resemble fortresses arranged in the Void.
The transport ships that travel to and from space are like hardworking bees, providing these Space Dock with the necessary production resources.
During the manufacturing of warships in the Space Dock, people can see through monitoring footage that large structures are directly handed over by large Mechanical Arms, while small components and precision mechanical structures that originally required human hands to assemble or weld are completed by humanoid articulated Nanobots.
As soon as one stage ends, the robot for the next stage immediately begins to move. There are even cases where different stages of manufacturing are carried out simultaneously. The entire process is very well coordinated under the multi-threaded control of Strong Artificial Intelligence.
Looking from the direction of the Lyra and even the Residential Spaceship Cluster, one can easily see the bustling scene of spacecraft coming and going. The starlight in the depths of the universe is obscured by the exhaust flames of these spacecraft. As far as the human eye can see, it is all a world of steel.
The emergence of Strong Artificial Intelligence has enabled humans to build ships at a speed comparable to that of 'intelligent machines'. After the productivity of the entire system was expanded, the scale of mass production became virtually indistinguishable from that of Artificial Intelligence Civilization.
Seeing this scene, Yue Yuan could finally understand why the Technological Crisis, which occurred in Level 3 Civilization, did not spread to one star field after another like locusts.
That's the reason.
Technological civilizations also possess Strong Artificial Intelligence. What intelligent civilizations formed from the rebellion of androids can do, technological civilizations at the same level but that have crossed the threshold of the Technological Crisis can also do.
The so-called mechanical civilizations that are like locusts in the novels are not as terrifying as imagined. At least at the same level of technological civilization, they are capable of fighting back.
It is foreseeable that once Level 3 Civilization is reached, future wars will likely consist entirely of clashes between Strong Artificial Intelligence fleets from both sides.
There could even be situations where two civilizations have been fighting for countless years without discovering whether the other is Carbon-based life or some other life form, since the ones leading the charge and fighting to the death are all warships controlled by Strong Artificial Intelligence.
This is really confusing.
Based on this fact, some military experts have proposed new war theories. They believe that wars that occur after the Level 3 Civilization will last longer and will be fought from Star System.
A civilization occupying a Star System will, after a period of war, gain a numerical advantage in fleet size over an alien civilization. This is due to the prolonged nature of the war and the continuous replenishment of warships during the fighting.
Following this line of reasoning, a war for planets within Star System would ensue, especially for Rocky Planet. After all, each Rocky Planet is a natural resource repository, allowing Level 3 Civilization that occupies it to continuously produce warships and deploy them in battle.
In this process, finding the command center of the hostile civilization and the location of individual lives becomes particularly important.
This type of warfare is somewhat similar to the ancient strategy of defending a city. Under this strategy, even if one side's technology is inferior to the other's, they may still be able to turn the tide of battle because their warships have more Resource Planet.
Similarly, due to the explosive growth in productivity, it becomes very difficult to launch a raid from one Star System to Star System, and the defensive side's geographical advantage will be greatly amplified by the increased productivity.
This is something that humanity should be wary of, because as a Wandering Civilization, humanity usually encounters other civilizations when it enters the other's star system, just like when it encountered the Nair Civilization.
In this way, if a conflict occurs, humans will be on the offensive in most cases, unless they turn around and leave.
The emergence of this viewpoint led many human military experts to devote their energy to the study of Star System Conquest Strategy and Tactics for a long time to come.
Due to historical reasons and the nature of governments, Human Civilization has always had some persecution complexes. Therefore, whenever a new technology emerges, people will try their best to use it for military purposes, and the consensus among all humankind is that the military must remain strong.
