796, Geth
More than ten minutes after the mining spacecraft calling for help self-destructed, a warship about 400 meters long left the hyperspace channel and appeared in this tragic airspace.
The spacecraft looks like an insect, with a compact structure and soft lines.
The spacecraft flew to the explosion site. The mining spacecraft had been basically destroyed, with fine debris everywhere. Aquitenes-class light cruiser was also seriously damaged. Half of the hull was blown into pieces, and the other half was floating quietly.
The surrounding universe is filled with mutilated corpses and fragments of spaceships of all sizes, making this place look like hell.
The spacecraft directly released dozens of fighter jets that were also in insect form, and these fighter jets began to search for survivors in this vast area.
There are indeed survivors. After the mining spacecraft self-destructed, some Clone Trooper were thrown into space by the shock wave of the explosion. They survived with their good combat armors, but they could not escape at this moment and were directly killed by these fighter jets.
At the same time, these fighter jets also brought back all the robot wreckage they could find - these insect-shaped fighter jets have mechanical arms installed underneath, just like insect feet. It can be seen that these fighter jets usually take on some transportation work in addition to combat.
One of the fighter jets followed the signal and flew to a place far away from the battlefield, and found a floating life capsule in the space here.
The insect-shaped fighter's compound-eye-like sensor flashed, and it made a sharp turn of more than 140 degrees in the air. It flew over with unimaginable maneuverability and flexibility. Its six mechanical legs grabbed the rescue capsule, and then looked inside through the porthole.
Only the wreckage of a robot was seen being thrown inside the rescue cabin. The fighter immediately lowered its head and used the laser cannon at its head to turn to minimum power to start cutting the rescue hatch.
A human arm that was still stuck to the hatch was also directly burned by the laser at this time, but the fighter jet ignored this thing at all. After cutting open the hatch, the fighter used six mechanical legs to open the hatch, grab the remains of the robot inside, and then turned around and flew backwards.
In an unknown location, a fleet of more than 200 warships is gathering. Almost all of the warships in this fleet are in the form of insects, with similar shapes, but some differences in size. The large warship is more than 400 meters long, and the small one is only about 3 or 50 meters long.
In the middle of this fleet, countless insect-shaped fighter jets were shuttled around. These fighter jets used their six mechanical legs to grab various supplies and send them into the spacecraft, just like countless hard-working ants.
Among this fleet, there is a spaceship that is different. It is Homeworld-class escort carrier that Fourth Civilization transformed from Galactic Republic Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser.
The 800-meter Escort Carrier is also the largest spacecraft in the fleet.
On the bridge, Tang Xiao stood impressively, looking at the picture displayed on the screen. This picture was exactly what happened to the self-destructed mining spacecraft Valk System.
Those busy on the bridge are all robots with flashlight heads!
That's right, they are the backhand that Tang Xiao released eleven years ago to contain Galactic Republic's power - Geth!!
There is now a loose alliance between Fourth Civilization and Geth. Tang Xiao has set a goal for Geth - to kill Sheev-Palpatine, and Geth will continue to work towards this goal. As for the process, Tang Xiao has no right to interfere.
"... Your proposal is not in line with our current situation." On the other screen, a face composed of countless codes was speaking.
It is Geth.
The entire Geth is a Gestalt consciousness, each individual is a Geth, and their collective is also a Geth, so when they speak, they always refer to themselves as 'we'. The Geth who is talking to Tang Xiao right now is the Gestalt cluster composed of hundreds of millions of Geth among Geth network.
"Sometimes, things cannot be determined by whether they are the best choice. You have been asking me what wisdom is. I can't tell you such a profound question, but what I can tell you is that sometimes imperfection is the embodiment of wisdom." Tang Xiao said.
"This is also something we can't understand. Why can't we choose the best, but choose those imperfect existences?" Geth asked.
"You have also seen the war between Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic since the war started, so did you choose to hide it temporarily?" Tang Xiao asked in return.
"We are far from the opponents of Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic. Starting a war at this moment is a prelude to destruction." Geth said.
"Actually, your situation is the same as mine...Dawn Star Planet also has a huge strength gap between Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic. But do you know why I still chose to go to war?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Based on the way you taught us how intelligent creatures speak, now we can't say that this is because of the stupid decisions made by your carbon-based intelligent creatures, because this will affect the secretion of meladonin in the carbon-based organisms, allowing you to make more irrational choices." Geth replied, "But we still believe that there is a better choice in this matter."
"Then have you considered that if the war officially starts now, there will be higher risks and higher returns? Maybe for your calculations, fighting for a 500% return with a 10% chance is not as good as a 110% return with a 100% chance. But for intelligent creatures, they will choose the former. Because... this is called gambling." Tang Xiao said with his hands behind his back.
"We are very good at those gambling games invented by your carbon-based intelligent creatures. For us, there is no gambling, only calculation."
"And what about this war that's spread across the galaxy?"
"There are too many factors to complete the global operation."
"But why doesn't intelligent life need to calculate the entire galaxy to reach such a conclusion?"
"We can't answer that."
"Because intelligent creatures will complete calculations and judgments under imperfect conditions."
Geth was silent for a moment and said, "Based on the way of thinking you taught us before, now we need to calculate whether your words are lies, in order to achieve the purpose of sending troops in advance to confront Galactic Republic head-on."
"You don't need to calculate what will happen to me, because my purpose is very clear. Fourth Civilization now does not have enough ability to continue attacking Galactic Republic, and it will even be difficult to protect itself. Therefore, I must ensure that Galactic Republic's power is involved in other directions. At this time, I really need your help." Tang Xiao said.
He turned around and looked at the human face composed of countless codes, and said, "As for you, you can actually bring one of the factors into the calculation."
"Please tell me."
"If Fourth Civilization were to decline or even be destroyed, how would this galaxy treat you, Geth." An unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth.
A few minutes later, a bright red Elite Class Viking fighter flew out of Homeworld-class light carrier's Hangar Platform, then started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.
After a while, the entire Geth fleet also recovered the fighter jets, and then began a hyperspace jump!
