[Chapter 210] In the past, those from the Interstellar Federation did not come up with anything after using various interrogation methods on Zheng Feng. Based on the information obtained from other channels, they also confirmed that Zheng Feng was just a human being. Seeing that there was no value, the little guy slowly relaxed his supervision of Zheng Feng and prepared to change his focus from individual supervision in the facility to centralized supervision, which is the so-called
"Relief with work", after all, the working population has always been a very important point for the Interstellar Federation. Now that Zheng Feng has been caught, even if he has no intelligence value, he is still a strong labor force, so there is no way to send him back.
While preparing for the escort there, Zheng Feng communicated in advance with other people captured by the Interstellar Federation from various colonies and planets. After he gave a detailed description of the situation on Ganymede, many people expressed their concern. Zheng Feng's words aroused his yearning, but almost half of the people here are researchers in various fields who are unwilling to cooperate with the research and development of the Interstellar Federation. Naturally, it is impossible to believe Zheng Feng's description casually like a child, but under the strong contrast In the end, he led dozens of people to escape from the prison where they were held. After seizing some confidential documents in the facility, he forcibly drove a shuttle in the facility and began to escape.
But the difficulty of openly escaping from the control area of the Interstellar Federation can be imagined. Zheng Feng is not a superman. Most of his fellow travelers are scientific researchers. He can persuade them to take weapons and a few prisoners including himself. It was a good thing that the soldiers rushed out, let alone allowed them to fight against the pursuers. But at this time of despair, Zheng Feng, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, followed the instructions of his unit in the previous mission. He made a call on the authorized communication band, but he was originally frustrated and heard a response.
It turned out that after the failure of that operation, Ganymede stopped investing in combat troops, and instead turned to infiltration in the hope of rescuing those captured comrades. Ganymede's attack on the former Xia army
The concept of "never abandon, don't give up" has been implemented very deeply. Of course, a large part of this is because Feng Jitong, as the former chief of staff of Xia Kingdom's star area, knows very well why Xia Kingdom's troops are far more cohesive than other countries. With the support and coordination from the three parties, some of Zheng Feng's people successfully returned to the Ganymede colonial satellite through special channels through the golden cicada's escape method.
It was because of this contribution and ability that Zheng Feng was valued by relevant parties, and step by step he became directly subordinate to Fleet Commander-in-Chief You Chengwang.
A member of the "Tiger Guard" special operations team, in many subsequent operations, he relied on his tenacity to survive one difficulty after another... Of course, no Encountering the armored combat team was good news for Zheng Feng. The bad news was that he did not find any traces of battle. There were no traces of weapons on the main body of the post, and there were no traces of weapons on the ground caused by laser weapons.
"Carbonization phenomenon", there are no traces of electromagnetic ammunition penetration in the surrounding trees. It is naturally very difficult to observe these with human eyes at night, but Zheng Feng can quickly and efficiently search for similar things with the scanning terminal and analysis system of his armored helmet. traces of battle.
But the more he checked, the more surprised he became. If this post was really destroyed without a single shot,
"Capture", either all the garrison personnel had betrayed collectively, or those enemies suspected of being the Oneness Cult had adopted a very powerful and strange offensive, leaving the soldiers unable to resist even within the thick protective barriers of the outpost. However, there are big loopholes in both speculations. The former is not common in a whole team. Ganymede has made considerable improvements in terms of treatment and troop scope. As far as Zheng Feng knows so far, Judging from the conditions and treatment of the troops of the Interstellar Federation, they are completely different.
Ganymede really treats the grassroots soldiers as human beings, and they are people with dignity. The soldiers on the Interstellar Federation are completely hanging on the line of hunger.
"Livestock", Zheng Feng has always wondered before why there is such a big gap between the Interstellar Federation and Ganymede, and why the already bloated and decayed Interstellar Federation did not suffer the consequences of this and collapse?
Later, Zheng Feng learned through some channels why the Unity Sect was able to receive such a large degree of support from the Interstellar Federation and had almost become one of the other
"State religion". Although the Unity Church is nominally the largest officially recognized folk religion, its influence has penetrated into all areas of the Interstellar Federation. This penetration is almost
"Rising overnight", it rapidly expanded its spread and scope of belief. At first, the Interstellar Federation discovered that this organization was developing at an unimaginable speed and that its potential threats were too great, so it sent officials and even the army to deal with it.
Generally speaking, if a cult like the Unity Church wants to develop, the first step is to control the environment, that is, to encourage members to have more severe relationships with their family and friends.
Environmental controls stipulate that new members of the organization can only interact with other members, making them believe that outsiders will not understand the cult's noble purpose.
Deprived of external support from family and friends, these new cult members can feel isolated and helpless, which ultimately leads to dependence on other cult members and then to occult control. , the cult leader will be shaped into a character closely related to higher mysterious powers.
This is a method of manipulation accomplished by cooperating with other members to deceive, and everyone works together to prove the mysterious ability of the cult leader to new members.
If successful, the next step is purification control, which means that the cult's tenets are considered to be completely correct. Members who question this ideology are usually singled out and punished, which is the purification of their souls.
Ultimately dissenters can be prevented from speaking out and those who think differently are silenced. Next comes divine control, where the cult's dogma is considered sacred.
This is a method used after confession control. Over time, any criticism of the sect's ideology or leadership came to be considered the most horrific of crimes.
Sacred cult teachings cannot be refuted, making it difficult for members to question these beliefs. The final stage is language control and trust control, which refers to using terms that only members know.
The purpose of this psychological manipulation is to foster a sense of exclusivity and closer intimacy among members, who believe that only the consciousness they believe in can answer all of life's questions.
Therefore, any doubts about the ideology are attributed to the mistakes of other things or people, rather than the ideology itself, thus preserving the sacred status of the cult's teachings in the hearts of its members.
If this is really the case, maybe those grassroots wanderers will be controlled, but for the astonishingly high cultural penetration rate in the blood-stamped world, these methods are ridiculous tricks. People with a little independent thinking and personal values can I won’t be fooled, but in fact, the way the Unity Church spreads still makes everyone up and down Ganymede feel different and confused. The original ones
According to records, "missionaries" can inspire people from all fields and cultural levels to start believing in a neighborhood in less than three days... With this incredible speed, The Unity Church was able to quickly cultivate an astonishing number of believers in its early days, but these early believers were only supporting the perfection of mankind described by the Unity Church.
The future of "unification" and some of the corresponding concepts are not worship or fanaticism, but after the number of people reached one million, the preaching speed of the Unity Church obviously slowed down, but it was the believers who changed. Worship of the Oneness Church, especially those worshiped by the Oneness Church
"God" is
The "Divine Seal" became extremely worshipful and worshiped from the heart, as if this was the original god who created them.
But what is even more incredible is that these officials or military officers who went to investigate have even become believers of the Unity Church, preaching to their subordinates, family members and even superiors. This change immediately made the people of the Interstellar Federation prepare. Directly dispatch unrestricted artillery fire
"Physics" ideological correction, but then the group of high-level officials discovered the benefits brought by the Unity Cult. As the Unity Cult continues to spread, every time it reaches a planet or satellite, the opposition forces and hostile civil organizations there will spread over a large area. Although there is not much support for the interstellar federal government, at least there are no more conflicts that cause social conflicts.
Moreover, it was another incident that caused a fundamental change in the Federation's attitude towards the Unity Church. The Interstellar Federation had already experienced a contradiction between supply and demand in terms of resources when it was first established. Although a large number of people died in the two wars, it stands to reason that The resources it can manage should be more than enough to provide to fewer people, but the problem is that the war destroys not only the population and prosperity, but also the star gates to different mining galaxies. The hyperplane channels in the Blood Seal World can allow The battleship can cross the galaxy in half a year, the jump engine can cross a distance of 20,000 light-years in an instant, and the star gate can make the distance between two places anywhere become a short distance.
There is still no way to explain the technology of the Star Gate. We can only know that it was the greatest technology in the prosperous era.
"Miracle" technology, the first of its kind in the blood-stamped world
In the "infighting", whether it is the camp with Xia Guo as the backbone, or the alliance led by Country M, although there may have been some cases of not sparing any hands on colonial planets and satellites, for the only two star gates, no matter it is Everyone maintains extreme restraint. For example, when the Star Gate enters the attack range, the fleets of both warring parties will tacitly avoid and retreat. Even if the battle is unavoidable, they will only use various close-range ship-based weapons or ship-based attack aircraft. For close combat, we dare not cause any damage to the two star gates.
After all, one end of the stargate is a mining galaxy very far away from the solar system. Without the stargate, the time and cost of turning back conventional mining ships would be staggering. As for several galaxies near the solar system, there are many hidden dangers. Either there are not many resources available for long-term exploitation, and the cost and return are too different. After all, in industries such as mining and energy, only long-term and large-scale output can reduce costs as much as possible; or else there are resources, but there are Large uncertainties, including but not limited to the impact and mobility of the asteroid belt, as well as the risks caused by the extremely unstable state of various peculiar planets... After the prosperous era Countless talents and scholars in different fields finally found two galaxies with relatively comfortable environments and abundant reserves of various minerals. With the continuous input of resources from the star gate into human society, humans in the Blood Seal World Only then can we have a huge population, industry and space colonies in a short period of time, which naturally includes those large-scale space fleets. Otherwise, it is more than enough to maintain the continuation of mankind with only the mineral energy storage of the solar system, but we want a higher level of development. , those limited resources are simply impossible to satisfy.
In the first space war, both sides aimed to establish the dominance of human civilization in the next few hundred years. Although the camp led by Country M was the initiator of this war, it was naturally impossible for Xia Country at that time to let its own The country and its allies were enslaved and ruled by external forces, so they naturally went to war with them. In the face of the torrent and trend of the times, the Xia Kingdom, which symbolized people and peace, was naturally on the absolute right path. Coupled with the Xia Kingdom's own powerful fleet, Even if country m is not weak in terms of strength and national technological level, its sinful nature and profit-seeking national policy make it impossible for Ta to consolidate its alliance.
In the end, many steadfast members of the Xia Kingdom camp
The "partners" were all because they could not tolerate Country M's wanton arbitrariness, profit-seeking, and plundering ideas. They abandoned the dark side and joined the arms of Xia Country. The former allies of Country M became one of the powerful forces that conquered Country M. This sounds like It sounds very ironic, but this is only for it. At that time, all aspects of the Xia State had become perfect, and the Xia State attached great importance to the people and firmly believed that in its long-term social practice, it not only created a large number of social Material wealth, and through reflection on nature, society and the development of human thinking, have formed an understanding of the changes in the real world and a grasp of the evolution laws of the real world, creating a large amount of social spiritual wealth.
Coupled with the highly developed social civilization system, huge resources and a large amount of space in the Xia Kingdom at that time,
The "satellite city" further narrowed the contradiction between society and the government, and everything seemed to be prosperous. In contrast to country M at that time, social contradictions were intensified to the extreme by unbalanced distribution and capital exploitation, and people at all levels were suffering. In other words, coupled with the traditional arts of country m, that is
According to the tradition of "free M country, shooting every day", the security risks in M country not only did not end in the space age, but intensified. Things like interstellar pirates first appeared in M country.
It is precisely because this kind of domestic situation was enough to overturn the situation in country m at that time, the stupid ruler of country m felt that starting the war was, on the one hand, to transfer domestic pressure to the war, and on the other hand, to try to completely defeat Xia Country M wants to rely on Xia Country's massive resources and space colonies to further alleviate the accumulated problems. From the beginning to the end, the top leaders of Country M do not know that the hidden dangers and contradictions in their country are caused by their increasingly harsh exploitation. Of course, Naturally, a civilization that regards war as a national policy cannot understand these things, nor can it truly understand the importance of the people. In short, at the first great stage of human civilization, scale
In the later stages of the "infighting", even though the M country's fleet was not weak and its technological level was not bad, just like a person could not compete with the entire country no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he was still retreating like a candle in the wind. The righteous offensive retreated again and again. In the end, not only was it abandoned by other allies like a lonely man, but even the space colonial satellites were lost. At that time, Xia State did not press forward step by step. After all, it would not be possible if it continued to fight In the original war, although Country M was extremely evil, it was still one of the most powerful countries at the time. If it were destroyed in such a simple way, the evils in its country would undoubtedly penetrate into the entire human civilization.
It is likely to plant many unstable factors for the world, and it will also hurt the innocent people of Country M. If Xia Country, like Country M, is desperate for victory and insists on eradicating the roots, then why did those countries that could not tolerate Country M before do so? To surrender to the Xia Kingdom?
That is because Xia State saw true tolerance and a bright future from Xia State. Therefore, Xia State has been focusing on persuading surrender and negotiation for a period of time. However, at this time, Country M still held unrealistic illusions. Think that you have not failed and that you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
And then
The "Trojan Horse" super combat AI appeared. Country m invented it just to make it a powerful weapon in any system.
The "Trojan horse" can cause the enemy fleet to lose its combat capability, and even attack its own friendly fleet in turn, which can reduce the current predicament of country m to the greatest extent. In fact, country m has indeed succeeded. The invasion and control capabilities of this AI are beyond It is extraordinary and can break through more than 95% of known security firewalls or military controllers. This is not bad for Xia State. Xia State has been deploying unmanned automation in the true sense to deal with hidden dangers in this area. Battleships were not used.
Most of Xia's automated combat ancillary equipment is either isolated from the battleship's life support system and attack system, or it does not use automated modules at all, and uses a small amount of manual work and a large amount of solid programming methods for operation and production. Although this method There is a big gap in efficiency compared with those fully automated production lines, but Xia Guo's advantages in quantity and resources have not been overtaken by other countries that have adopted fully automated production lines with a large amount of AI support.
The emergence of the "Wooden Door" combat AI has boosted the spirit of the entire lifeless country M. They want to use this to regain their advantage. However, in the last test that is about to be put into actual combat, a mutation occurred.
The "Trojan horse" AI suddenly developed a strong sense of autonomy and instantly broke away from the programs and system underlying permissions used to limit and control its behavior. Starting from the first warship of country m, it spread in less than two hours. As for all the warships that are still in the M country's combat order, especially the M country fleet, which advocates highly intelligent unmanned combat groups, almost all functions are managed by different AIs and intelligent brains.
But the AI and intelligence on the battleship are really unable to cope with it.
The invasion of "Trojan horses" can range from a few seconds to a minute or two. Without exception, it has become a
The vassal of the "Trojan Horse", and then this real catastrophe began, and AI does not talk about humanitarianism. They will not let go of any living human beings, including those who have been destroyed or lost the ability to fight. Targeted and irregular bombings and attacks on colonial planets and colonial satellites are the norm, and wherever their fleet passes, almost half of the warships will
"Changing sides" means being controlled. The remaining parts will also have various internal problems. In the end, it is considered good to exert about 50% of the combat effectiveness. Most of them cannot even defend themselves and will be destroyed by the AI-controlled fleet in a short time. The entire human world has fallen into a huge quagmire. The killings of AI have caused hundreds of millions of humans to die in the catastrophe. Although the Xia Kingdom's fleet has not been greatly affected, it is only compared to the fully automated warships of other countries. It's not big, after all, at this level, it is impossible to completely isolate and break away from the automated ship design.
In addition, the Xia Kingdom wanted to distribute these fleets to protect various colonial planets and satellites in the solar system, and there was no way to conduct a unified counterattack. During this period, the AI-controlled fleet took the opportunity to destroy the two planets. Gate, instantly interrupting the entire human resource supply chain, and also targetedly destroying all countries, including the Xia Kingdom, and most of the research bases related to subspace shuttles, hyperplane channels and jump engines, with the intention of completely destroying human beings. Besieged in the solar system... It was at this time that everyone realized the viciousness and cold-bloodedness of AI. In order to prevent human beings' technological tree from being destroyed point-to-point, humanity would plummet from the space age. After arriving at the planet civilization, Xia Guo took the lead and allowed most civilians to enter the temporary shelter, and then concentrated all fleets on the former M country's main planet, which is now
The mastermind of the "Trojan Horse" AI launched a general attack. Fortunately, due to
The "Trojan Horse" controls too many fleets, and the amount of calculations it requires has been exponentially increased, except for that one
Apart from the "Master Brain", there is no other crew that is large enough to accommodate its survival. Because of this, the defenses on that planet were suffocatingly dense. As the main offensive force, the Xia Kingdom fleet paid an unbearable price. Of the nearly a thousand warships, only less than 300 actually broke into the blocked airspace. Those who returned from ground combat or returned to warships were even more rare. After this battle,
The "Trojan Horse" AI was completely destroyed, but it also reduced Xia's entire combat strength by nearly 80%. This battle loss ratio is a devastating blow and loss to any organization or country. Simply put, it means collapse. .
