Homo sapiens.

Unless the silicon civilization suddenly explodes and obtains faster-than-light communication or faster-than-light navigation technology in a short period of time, it will end up being swallowed up by human civilization bit by bit.

At this stage of the war, as long as there are no accidents, it is basically a certainty that human civilization will annihilate the Si Heringus.

But human civilization has not taken it lightly, and is still preparing various countermeasures.

Chapter 711 Shepherd

The Milky Way, the Galactic Center.

In the area close to the Andromeda cantilever, the void here is very bright, and there are dozens of stars densely covered in every cubic light-year of space.

This is only the edge of the galactic center region, if it is an inner region, the density of stars there is even higher.

But precisely because of this, the closer the area to the core of the Galaxy, the more desolate it is.

At the edge of the galactic center area, this is the habitable zone where creatures are born.

The galactic center area is like the tropics of the earth. There are indeed not a few living planets in the area outside the galactic center.

However, the living planets here generally do not have powerful civilizations, but each of the living planets is in a relatively primitive stage.

Suddenly, a huge silver-gray planet floated out of the chaotic gravitational field in the void, and was attracted by a red dwarf star.

The radius of the silver-gray planet is about 2.6 times that of the Earth.

Soon, the silver-gray planet slowly approached the red dwarf, and then the silver-gray planet seemed to turn into mercury, wrapping around the surface of the red dwarf.

Eight days later, the surface of the red dwarf turned completely silver-gray, and there was no trace of radiation leaking out from the inside, apparently absorbed by the outer shell of the silver-gray planet.

The surrounding dozen red dwarfs were also engulfed by silver-gray planets one by one.

More than a dozen huge spaceships also appeared around the silver-gray planet.

Inside one of the spaceships, several silver-gray spheres were floating in the cabin.

"This time grazing requires 588 kits (about 801 years). Do you have anything else to do?" A silver-gray sphere sent out electromagnetic waves and asked its companions.

Another silver-gray sphere rotated its body: "Part of the siren installed on the Baisai cantilever before was destroyed. There should be a space war over there. Do you need me to go over and investigate?"

"Baisai Cantilever? Yes, you can take a look! I guess it is another new civilization, let them settle down, or they will be completely destroyed."

"it is good!"

One of the silver-gray spheres turned into a puddle of liquid and disappeared into the cabin.

Then a spaceship deploys the space distortion system, using the space distortion difference between the front and back, the speed is rapidly increased by 60% of the speed of light, and it is rapidly propelled towards the cantilever direction of Sephirocus.

With the rapid flight of the spacecraft, a series of gravitational waves were left on its flight path.

And those spaceships that are still in place are still guarding the dozen or so silver-gray planets.

These silver-gray planets are planet-level silicon-based organisms specially cultivated by the animal husbandry civilization-light-eating star beasts.

The light-eating star beast is a silicon-based creature, and it is also a creature artificially transformed by the star-shepherd civilization. This creature can swallow the energy of stars, and then transform this energy into a special dark energy crystal.

This is also the reason why the herding star civilization herds the light-eating star beasts. After all, the behavior of civilization and the behavior of individuals are actually similar.

If there is no benefit, the animal husbandry civilization will not transform this planetary creature.

The importance of dark energy crystallization to the planet-shepherd civilization is like oil, gas and coal in the earth age.

The energy source of the space warping engine of the star herding civilization is the crystallization of dark energy. If there is no crystallization of dark energy, then the space warping engine of the star animal civilization would not be able to start.

In addition, dark energy crystals can also be used as raw materials for some special weapons.

This is also the basis for the survival of star-herding civilizations in the galactic center of the Milky Way. After all, the galactic center is not just their star-herding civilization.

Just when the grazing team of the animal husbandry civilization was grazing light-devouring star beasts here.

In a void about 300 light-years away from them, a triangular spaceship is also watching them secretly.

Triangular spaceship interior.

"Captain Fass, those guys are grazing, and 45 epochs ago, a star grazing spaceship left the direction..."

The bodies of these communicative creatures resemble a shimmering mist.

One of the fogs flipped: "Continue to monitor. As for the spaceship that left, if I guessed correctly, they should have gone to Baisai Cantilever."

"Baisai Cantilever? Are you going to investigate that new civilization?"

A group of red-gray mist emitted a special wave: "That new civilization is not simple, hehehe..."

"So what if it's not simple? If you offend the Star Shepherd civilization, they will definitely be destroyed." Another dark green fog taunted.

"Should we take action? After all, the enemy's enemy, maybe we can take advantage of it?"

"Hehe, it's just rubbish, there's no need for that."

Soon the discussion inside the triangular spaceship fell silent.

And the shepherds, who were grazing the light-devouring star beasts, were also secretly vigilant about the surrounding situation.

After all, when they were grazing the light-devouring star beasts, they were attacked by hostile forces. Although they were not robbed of the light-devouring star beasts and dark energy crystals in the end, they suffered heavy losses.

But cultivating a light-devouring star beast requires a lot of resources and time. At present, there are only more than 1 light-devouring star beasts in the animal husbandry civilization.

These light-eating star beasts are the foundation of the animal husbandry civilization.

Although there were no traces of enemies on the nearby surface, these shepherds did not take it lightly.

……

the other side.

The planet-shepherd spacecraft that went to the cantilever of Andromeda for investigation is also rapidly approaching the silicon family control area in Andromeda.

Using the siren hidden in the cantilever of Andromeda by the star-herding civilization, the star-herding man quickly investigated some situations.

In the cockpit of the Star Shepherd spacecraft.

Famu's brain core was thinking quickly: "That civilization turned out to come from the Kaifuya cantilever (Orion cantilever). Their technical level seems to be not low!"

The shepherd civilization naturally has a certain understanding of the five cantilevers of the Milky Way.

Although the animal husbandry civilization despises the resource-poor cantilever area, it does not mean that they will let the cantilever area go.

This time Famu came to investigate the Andromeda cantilever, but it did not make its own claim, but received an order from the headquarters.

The animal husbandry civilization not only leaves a large number of sirens in the five major cantilever areas, but also regularly reviews the cantilever areas.

It would have been about [-] Earth years before the next review.

However, this large-scale battle of the Andromedus cantilever made the Shepherd Civilization feel a little unusual, and quickly advanced the review time.

Although the siren couldn't collect a lot of information, the explosion of a large number of stars in the Andromeda cantilever and the sudden chaotic gravity made Famu and the star-shepherding civilization behind them feel uneasy.

However, there is also a limit to the speed of the spacecraft of the planet-shepherding civilization.

Even with space warping engines and dark energy crystals, there is still no way to achieve faster-than-light travel.

In this situation, Fa Mu became more and more uneasy.

At this time, the Star Shepherd spacecraft is still 7364 light-years away from the nearest territory of human civilization.

Chapter 712 Trust Problem

Galaxy for 25869 years.

Human civilization has further expanded in the control area of ​​the Andromeda Cantilever.

The silicon civilization, which is retreating steadily, cannot resist the full-scale attack of human beings.

The Shepherd Star survey spacecraft on the way is still about [-] light-years away from the closest frontier of human civilization.

Even if human civilization is expanding in the direction of the pastoral survey spacecraft, the two sides estimate that it will take about 4000 earth years to meet.

At this time, Mu Xing investigated the spaceship, and Famu also mobilized the siren hidden in the cantilever of the Seymour, and tried his best to collect all kinds of intelligence on both sides.

After more than 1000 years of investigation and observation, the uneasiness in Fa Mu's heart became more and more obvious at this time.

For the Si family in Andromeda, Famu knows each other very well. After all, the animal husbandry civilization will conduct a comprehensive survey of the five major cantilever regions of the Milky Way every 7.3 Earth years.

As for the Silicon Clan in Andromeda, whose technological development has stagnated for millions of years, although it has maintained a tendency to expand outward, the Silicon Clan has no threat at all in the eyes of the Shepherd Civilization.

This is one of the reasons why the Si family can exist in the Andromeda cantilever for millions of years without incident.

However, the newly emerged civilization in front of him surprised Famu.

"Gravity field technology?"

"Delay-free faster-than-light communication?"

"A spaceship travels at 45% the speed of light?"

"There is also a special particle material technology?"

Although Famu looked down on the civilization in the cantilever area, the performance of human civilization forced him to pay attention to it.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Famu even stopped moving forward. After all, the space warping engine technology of the Shepherd civilization, for a civilization with super gravitational technology, that is to drive a tractor on the seabed - blatantly.

The anomalous gravitational waves produced by the space warp drive are easy to detect.

Although the distance between the two sides was about [-] light-years at this time, Famu did not dare to take it lightly.

If the other party finds out in advance, not only is he in danger, but the mission assigned to him by the headquarters may also fail.

Of course, it chose to stop at this time, not on its own initiative, but to explain the situation to the headquarters.

The animal husbandry civilization has quantum communication technology, which can realize long-distance delay-free communication.

After Famu reported the results of the investigation over the past 1000 years, the Muxing Civilization Headquarters immediately agreed to Famu's application for suspension.

At this time, through the quantum communication system of the spaceship, Fa Mu is discussing the next work with several other shepherds.

"Rady, what do you think about the Intelligence Analysis Department?"

In the holographic projection, a shepherd whose surface is also silver-gray emits an electromagnetic wave:

"From the information you have collected, the strength of this civilization is very close to ours, and it also has some unique technologies. If you rely on your investigation spaceship alone, even particle robots can quickly expand the infinite civilization in a short period of time. The size of a human warship, but the stakes are still very high."

Famu also agrees with this very much.

It is worried that once it cannot defeat the opponent in a short time, and the opponent has long-distance delay-free communication technology, it is estimated that it will soon notice the existence of the animal husbandry civilization.

Another shepherd is also full of concerns: "The Baisai Cantilever should not be the base camp of this civilization, and their base camp should be in the Kerite Cantilever. The range is too wide, and even our spacecraft will take a long time."

A first-level civilization without super-light-speed navigation technology will always have a lot of concerns when attacking other first-level civilizations.

The reason is that there are long nights and many dreams.

There are too many variables in the expedition that started hundreds of thousands of years ago.

What worries the Shepherd Civilization even more is the other two competitors entrenched in the galactic center of the Milky Way.

Once their shepherd star civilization enters the cantilever area on a large scale, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other two civilizations, and even take action secretly.

The resource-poor and vast cantilever area is a piece of chicken ribs for the Shepherd civilization.

It's a pity to abandon it, and there is no meat to eat.

After all, a large-scale expedition to the cantilever area needs to consume a huge amount of dark energy crystals, and the light-eating star beasts raised by the animal husbandry civilization can only produce limited dark energy crystals.

At this time, the shepherds who discussed human civilization with Famu had already calculated the price to be paid for the expedition to the cantilever area.

If human civilization is to be completely wiped out, at least 3 million first-class space battleships need to be dispatched, which is equivalent to 42% of the space battleships of the star herding civilization, and at least 80% of the stored dark energy crystals need to be consumed.

This kind of price makes these shepherds find it difficult to accept.

After all, after tens of millions of years of open and secret struggles among the three major civilizations in the Yinxin District, their forces have already reached a relatively balanced state.

Now let the star-herding civilization mobilize such a huge force and resources to go on an expedition to the cantilever area. It is estimated that the other two civilizations will join forces soon and prepare to attack the star-herding civilization.

You know, the Wu tribe civilization has been coveting the dark energy crystallization technology of the animal husbandry civilization for a long time.

In this three-legged situation.

The emergence of human civilization has made the three parties in the Yinxin District very embarrassed.

In fact, the Wu Clan, who have more powerful detection and hiding techniques, has already noticed the existence of human civilization as early as when human civilization collided with the one-eyed civilization of the centaur cantilever.

It's just that the Fog civilization didn't tell the other two civilizations.

On the one hand, the strength of human beings at that time was not as strong as it is now.
