How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 911 Attack and Defense Principles (2)

[But attack is different, attack can exist independently from the two, there is attack without defense, but there is no defense without attack. 】

[The relationship between the two is like light and shadow. Without shadow, light can exist, but if light does not exist, shadow also does not exist. Therefore, attack and defense seem to be relative concepts, which seem to be able to neutralize each other like positive and negative matter. , but in fact, they belong to the same rule of the universe. 】

That is to say, the principle of defense is actually a further extension based on the principle of attack. As long as you understand one of them, you will be able to understand the other.

【Is such that. 】

[If you want to understand the principle of defense, you must start from the principle of attack, but what is attack? 】

Ming's question is not difficult to answer. To put it bluntly, it means 'beating people'. Throwing stones is hitting people, and throwing missiles is also hitting people. The difference between the two is nothing more than power.

Attacking is a biological behavior, and it is no different from walking on the ground, flying in the sky, or swimming in water.

Only living things can attack. This is the exclusive privilege of living things. Non-living things do not have the ability to attack. Even if the sun in the solar system suddenly explodes with a supernova and destroys all human beings, it is also a natural disaster in nature, not an attack.

[That’s right, an attack is an act. More precisely, it’s a process. It’s as small as primitive creatures on the surface throwing stones at each other, or as large as a large-scale war of cosmic civilizations. 】

[And this framework is what we call the 'principle of attack'. 】

Attacking is behavior, and it has a regularity. After this regularity is summarized, it is the principle of attacking.

Can you be more specific? It's still too vague.

[So, to put it another way, if Huo Gu wants to attack the enemy, what steps do you have to take? 】

Huo Gu thought, Well... Firstly, we need to obtain relevant information about the enemy, such as the technology we have mastered, the strength of our overall strength, weak points, and location information, and then formulate targeted strategic deployments based on various information. To defeat them in one fell swoop with a surprise attack strategy in a short period of time is the safest and most efficient combat mode...

[This is a group battle, what about individual battles? 】

If you fight alone, look at the battlefield environment...

Ming interrupted Huo Gu's answer, and it asked in another way.

[No, no, that's not the case. We need to simplify the various processes so that it is easier to understand. 】

That is to collect the opponent's intelligence, know the opponent's weakness, and then attack the opponent's weakness in a wave, and kill the opponent...

On the whole, the difference between individual and collective battles is not particularly large, and they all have obvious commonalities.

To fight the enemy, one must think about defeating the enemy in this way, and to think about how to defeat the enemy, one must know what the enemy is good at and what it is not good at.

【Understand? The first process that an attack must go through is to collect enemy intelligence. Without any intelligence, it is absolutely impossible to carry out an attack. 】

Hmm... what if it's a wish-type karma weapon?

Hogu assumes that there is a weapon, as long as you use this weapon, you don't need to go through any process to destroy any enemies.

Undoubtedly, it is not an exaggeration to say that this weapon is the ultimate weapon. It does not need to be locked, there is no need to sort out the cause and effect relationship, and it ignores any obstacles and barriers.

However, even this kind of weapon cannot escape the framework of attack principles.

[At the very least, the user has to 'tell' the weapon of Karma, who is the target it should destroy? Isn't this information? If you don't even know what the target is, how can you launch an attack with a powerful weapon? 】

[The principle of attack is easy to understand. It is to obtain information, use information, and then launch an attack. These three steps. 】

The three steps of the attack principle that Ming said sounds high-level, but it is actually a truth that even primitive people in the Stone Age can understand.

When primitive people throw stones to throw people, they must first see where the enemy is and whether they are the ones he wants to throw stones. This is to obtain information.

Then there is aiming, there is no way, if you don’t aim, you can’t hit it, and it’s meaningless to lose it. This process is to use the acquired enemy’s position information.

The last is to launch an attack, which is better understood. The primitive man threw the stone out.

The rules of the universe are simple, it is such a thing, you will only be surprised when you understand it, why didn't you discover it in the first place.

And what about the defensive principle?

[The principle of defense is based on the principle of attack. 】

【What is the essence of defense? The enemy wants to attack me, and I don't want to get hurt, so I use various means to prevent the opponent's attack from hurting me. This is defense. 】

[From this, it can be understood that defense is to prevent the purpose of attacking behavior from being achieved. 】

How to stop it? Attacking is just behavior, any knowledge can be used to attack. Hogu asked.

[That's right, the defense is not comprehensive, it is only targeted. A defense against one kind of attack may have almost no defense against another kind of attack. Because of this, the attack will always be greater than the defense, because the dominance is in the attack over there. 】

[However, an attack requires a process. When these three steps are broken, the attack cannot be achieved, and thus the defense can be achieved. 】

In the first link, if you can’t get the slightest information about the enemy, you can’t even talk about attacking—even if you’re throwing a stone, you need to know where the person you’re throwing is. ?

In the second link, although the information is obtained, it is not enough to use this information to achieve the purpose of attack - throwing stones at people, what is the use of just knowing a name, at least one needs to know the appearance of the opponent and where the opponent is standing.

In the third link, the attack failed - he was hit with a sap before he could throw the stone, and the stone in his hand naturally couldn't be thrown.

[This is the 'defense principle' extended from the 'attack principle'. 】

...

At this time, both Mu and Si, who were in the FTL state, learned about the attack and defense principles that Ming kept in the information.

...The principle of attack and defense is not so much a cosmic rule, but a strategic thinking. Keeping quiet and preventing other civilizations from obtaining our information is the greatest security.

Eternity speaks frankly about one's own thoughts, while Si thinks about the loopholes in the principles of attack and defense.

There is nothing wrong with the principle of attack, but the principle of defense cannot achieve a 100% comprehensive defense. It is like a city wall. It is very thick horizontally, but it has no ability to parry vertically.

The defense principle has shortcomings, such as the aftermath of third-party combat, which is defined as an 'accident' and does not belong to the category of 'attack', so the defense principle has no defense against this attack mode.

It is not a big problem to use range weapons as enemies. In the scope of defense principles, it may be the aftermath of range damage. People sit at home and disasters come from heaven.

Faced with this situation, the defense principle is not valid because it does not count as an 'attack' by definition.

It is indeed not an attack, because the attacker did not have any malicious intent to destroy the third party, and did not even know the existence of the third party.

But for combat participants, this is very useful. Using rules for defense is more useful than any shields or barriers, because it makes the enemy unable to even attack.

Sustainability is very clear. It has long been aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the two principles. This problem is not a big deal, since it can use rules to attack and defend.

There is nothing wrong with using the rules to 'prevent disasters', and it is even easier to handle because no one is targeting them.

In addition to understanding the principles of attack and defense, Si and Yongxuan also learned about cosmic civilization.

Recalling the cosmic civilization described in Ming's message, Si felt deeply powerless.

Cosmic civilization is like this, using the rules of the universe to attack and defend, constantly stretching its own space-time acceleration time, and constantly compressing the enemy's space-time slowing down time.

In the civilized society of the universe, the level of science and technology is not used as the only strength evaluation standard. It only accounts for a small part. The index that determines the strength of a civilization is the creativity of that civilization. The principle of offense and defense is only the foundation of the foundation. Like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in mathematics.

Facing them, the ethnic group may not even know how to lose...

Obviously, Si's self-confidence has been greatly hit. It thought that the ethnic group had reached the peak enough, even if it did not reach the peak, it was not far from the peak.

Now it seems that the difference is too far. What people play is the rules, and what they play is the material.

Don't be discouraged. At least we have now learned that it is only a matter of time before we catch up. It is just a matter of speeding up time. It is not impossible for us to do it.

On the contrary, Eternity is more confident, showing no signs of being hit. After knowing the operation of accelerating the passage of time in its own civilization by stretching time and space, it can't wait to let the ethnic group try it.

Si replied, Ming didn't tell us these things during the attack period of the revision agency. He hoped that we could think of them ourselves and test our creativity. But...we didn't expect it. It was Ming who told us.

Technology can be researched and developed, all that is needed is the accumulation of time, but for the civilization of the universe that can accelerate the passage of time, it can be piled up in a second.

Therefore, creativity is the criterion for assessing the power of cosmic civilization. Under the same time acceleration, we can see who has the stronger technical ability, who can find out the opponent's flaws more quickly, and who can meet the attack implementation conditions first.

As for the civilization gap that is already very high in technology, this is indeed an advantage among cosmic civilizations, but it is not an advantage that cannot be equalized.

Civilizations that have reached that level have already mastered the knowledge of the universe. What kind of theories have they never seen, what kind of knowledge has never been verified, and they have long been able to weave their own rules.

If the battle is fierce enough and crazy enough, they will even weave their own worldviews and compete with each other.

We are not smart. Isn't this a well-known thing? There are still numbers in the ethnic group. If the creativity of an individual is not enough, it is no problem to fill it with the creativity of a group of individuals. Perpetually asked.

If the individual is not good enough, can the quantity be used to make up?

Si was stunned for a moment, it didn't expect this when it was hit.

Creativity is not unquantifiable, there is an infinite number of possible ideas that can emerge.

Yongxuan replied firmly, That's right, isn't that how the ethnic group has always been? What's more, we are not necessarily the stupidest ones.

you're right.

Their topic returned to the spiritual domain again, which was the enemy they had to deal with now.

Yongxuan said, Since we already know the principle of offense and defense, we can try to apply it to the strategy of He Lingyu. Don't we already know its weakness?

Black holes are bricks, heh...
