As soon as Qiu Yu finished speaking, the entire parking lot shook. It wasn't the aggressive vibrations of the Sonar Beast, but the vibrations like when thousands of troops charge, heavy and dense.
The space occupied by hundreds of vehicles in the Eighth Civilization is too wide. Faced with attacks from unknown directions, there is no effective concept of evasion. They can only keep shrinking inward to ensure their own safety and at the same time serve as a buffer against attacks. barrier.
The people here, after double screening by the game and the Destiny Weaver, are all the best elites in each civilization. Kumobisi did not issue any orders to his subordinates before the attack. On the one hand, it was because he did not know what to do. On the other hand, it is because these subordinates know what to do in times of crisis. It took less than twenty seconds from the moment the threat was sensed to the moment the convoy formed a defensive circle.
The third civilization is purely a combat type, so it does not rush towards the attacking enemies at the first time. It just gathers together in the center of the convoy and waits for the enemies to appear.
The magnetic balls placed above the head of the Fourth Civilization have been withdrawn. However, due to the huge convoy of the Eighth Civilization, the magnetic balls cannot be used to form a defense that can protect all directions, so they did not release them anymore, but just took out the same ones one by one. Something with a blue light pattern, like an arm blade, was installed on the arm, and then two-thirds of the people dispersed around and deployed to the eighth civilization vehicles in the outermost circle.
Although there is only movement in one direction, the Fourth Civilization, which is communicating in real time with eight other battle locations, knows that the opponent is fighting an encirclement war. If there is a flaw in any direction, it will be attacked like a storm, so there is no Don't dare to be careless in the seemingly calm direction.
A full minute later, the shaking on the ground became stronger and stronger, but there was no sign of the enemy. This situation is quite outrageous. Thousands of cavalry troops may achieve such an effect a minute away, but that is only when they attack the enemy's arrow array. Otherwise, a minute's worth of damage will be done. A meaningful charge will only waste the horse's energy.
Within this effective field of view of less than a hundred meters, the most reasonable approach is to slowly approach the position where the enemy can be seen, and then launch the most efficient short-range charge. This tactic no longer requires any experience, just instinct is enough for people to do it. Therefore, the fact that the person directing this battle is an idiot can be completely ruled out. In the face of the situation that has already happened, if the fighting creature in front of him has too much physical strength and there is no need to save, it is because there is some tactical consideration in doing so.
The Fourth Civilization took the trouble to contact the other eight battle locations in order to obtain some information. However, since the other party's battle began, the communication seemed to have been cut off, and no feedback was received. This fact once again reminds the fourth civilization that in addition to biotechnology, the current enemy also has mechanical technology, and it is more advanced mechanical technology than its own civilization can use.
The civilization of biological technology itself has the most bizarre fighting method in the universe. It uses the power of infinite types of creatures to fight. Before contact, it is impossible to defend against it. In comparison, mechanical civilizations have clear technological lines. Although there may be jumps in development between certain technologies, they are basically within the predictable range. As long as it is not deliberately hidden, a machine can be seen at a glance. The strength and weakness of humanoid civilization.
In the universe, there is no civilization that only develops biological or mechanical technology. The development of technology is based on the needs and basic resources of civilization, which makes the development of technology have a great tendency in the initial stage of civilization. Just like a nation, there may be several languages at the same time in the early days, but because they can all express the same information, in the initial communication process, the language with the largest range of use gradually becomes the default habit, and then, because it is commonly used, Therefore, the first words created, the optimization of the structure and other advantages make this language far away from other languages. The longer this goes on, the more obvious the language's advantages will become. Therefore, which type a civilization belongs to may not be too obvious in the primary stage, but by the interstellar age in the intermediate stage, it will almost become a stereotyped feature.
Even if any civilization is not afraid of delaying the research and development progress of the most advanced technology and wants to develop it in an all-round way, the type of technology that is specially enhanced will never be able to catch up with the main technology. The later it goes, the more time and resources are required to develop a technology, and the greater the difference.
When we are still on the planet, if a mechanical-based civilization needs to research a vehicle, then maybe a few people can make a car in a few years, and other idle resources may be able to use biological routes to create a vehicle. A transportation creature that has the speed of a cheetah, the loyalty of a dog and the durability of a camel, and is as effective as a car.
But when it comes to developing rockets, a rocket requires several years of full investment from the entire mechanical civilization and decades of technological accumulation in mechanical technology. Therefore, it is simply impossible to start from the basics and pay countless times more to research biological rockets that can enter space.
Later, in the era when starships needed to be researched and developed, just a technology that needed to be added to a starship required a terrifying investment. Unless there were problems that could only be solved with biotechnology, the wisdom of civilization itself would definitely not be enough. It may take a long time to forcefully drag down biotechnology that is lagging far behind.
But in the vast universe, this situation is not absolute. War, natural disasters, resource demand, the influence of alien civilizations, ideological differences within civilizations that are not resolved in a short time, etc., may all lead to changes in main technology or The parallelism of multiple technologies.
Although this kind of parallelism will still be prioritized later, in the golden age of technological parallelism, such a civilization was more powerful than any civilization with a single technology. What is lost in technical height is made up for in breadth.
A tiny fly may cause nuclear fission due to contact with ordinary metals. The cutting-edge weapons are transported by biological organisms, making them invisible to the opponent's detection. Because of their own strength, warriors still have strong combat power without the aid of external objects. The microorganisms that coexist harmoniously with one's own side are the other's deadly viruses. You can rely on creatures to create unlimited ammunition supplies...
When the shortcomings that cannot be achieved by one technology are compensated by another technology, the vision of technological power will be infinitely broadened. The weirdness of biotechnology is added to mechanical technology, and the reliability of mechanical technology also makes biotechnology easier to control.
Therefore, unlike the earthly civilization, which is a game novice who is more than smart but lacks knowledge, the fourth civilization is aware of the terrifying nature of this kind of opponent. As Akiyu said before, the power of mechanical technology lies in preparation, and it is impossible to start manufacturing in the game. Therefore, in front of the combat creatures created by opponents using the resources of this world infinitely, the power of mechanical technology cannot cover them at all. However, since the opponent is a civilization with parallel technology, it is impossible that there are no usable mechanical technological creations except a few communication interference instruments, a few missiles and a few pieces of armor. Moreover, if biotechnology wins by weirdness and quantity, then mechanical technology wins by quality and pertinence.
Just one machine can easily interfere with tens of thousands of square kilometers of communications. A single piece of armor can hide a person, and it can make more than a dozen civilizations with less than this kind of technology helpless. It is also possible that a bomb the size of a fist can completely end the war in the entire world.
Although the rationality of the game and the contact in the initial battle can confirm that the opponent cannot have something that will perish together, there will definitely be some things that are not large in size and not in large numbers, but that are enough to increase the power of the combat creatures.
Maybe the unexplained vibrations now are caused by the opponent's mechanical technology...
The fourth civilization has long-range attack weapons, but is unwilling to use them in the previous battles. On the one hand, it is because it needs to hide its true combat power, but most of the reasons also mean that anything related to long-range attacks is a waste. Taste. Every destruction game is equivalent to a level in a video game. The income must be higher than the expenditure before you have the capital to continue challenging subsequent levels, and the higher the ratio, the better.
If you can kill the enemy with a knife, you must not use bullets. This concept is not only the fourth civilization, but also the thinking mode of every civilization participating in this game. Although this mode of thinking often results in a game that can easily be won with full strength being turned into a hard battle, only when a war of attrition is really necessary, some strength will have to be used. There are even many civilizations that have capsized in the gutter because they are not sure about the level. But the general rule is that after a boat capsizes once, as long as civilization has not been destroyed, it will have to capsize again. Therefore, the effect of having a smart enough leader is not only in the deployment of battles, but also in the exchange, use and management of resources.
However, the current situation does not require the guidance of smart leaders, and the fourth civilization also knows that it must use some expendable power.
A metal ball that also had blue light patterns, but was obviously much smaller than other magnetic balls, was thrown by the fourth civilization in the direction of the vibration.
At a position of about thirty meters, after the force of the throwing ended, the ball suspended in the air and continued to float forward at a speed of about five meters per second.
The Eighth Civilization's convoy is now within a range of two hundred meters. If you go one hundred meters away from the outermost vehicle, the field of vision is basically blurred. But the blue on this small ball is like a laser penetrating the darkness, floating to a very far distance, and it can be clearly seen.
Kyuubi believes in himself more than getting information from other people. At the same time that the fourth civilization entered the combat position, he also reached the outermost convoy defense circle. Because of the clarity of the ball and the fact that Kyuubi's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, when the ball flew about 150 meters and suddenly disappeared, Kyuubi clearly saw the process...
