Capítulo 225: Chapter 225: Discussion on the Life Forms of the Silk Civilization
Sirius.
Yan Xia is currently leading the army and temporarily stationed here.
Although the Silk Civilization's fleet has retreated, they did not return directly, nor could they do so. They are currently occupying the federal border, waiting for news from their home in the Orion Nebula.
After receiving the news, Yan Xia knew that these battleships would not return. Instead, they adopted a new tactic, settling at the federal border to block the Federation, allowing the Silk Civilization to face the other two civilizations.
Therefore, Yan Xia still had to deal with these million Silk Civilization battleships.
At this time, Yan Xia was not on the Kunlun, but had arrived in a star city within the Sirius system.
In the star city, he gathered many scholars.
These scholars included strategists, bioinformaticians, and more.
"Currently, we have not found any remains of the Silk Civilization's life forms, so the situation is either of two kinds."
"One is that the life forms of the Silk Civilization are mechanical, and they have already entered the computer system."
"The other possibility is that they are plasma or quantum life forms, distinct from any life forms we currently understand."
A giant circular conference room.
It was more like a parliamentary hall, with all the participating scholars sitting around the perimeter, leaving the center empty. There was a platform in the middle where scholars with insights could stand and share their thoughts, followed by group discussions.
A Light Wing scholar spoke after these two possibilities, and some scholars pondered for a while, then nodded slightly.
However, another group of scholars expressed a different view.
"Previously, we discovered the characteristics of the Silk Civilization's battleships. They use silk to connect with each other, and they have a mothership."
"If so, is it possible that all the battleships of the Silk Civilization are like this, with only the mothership containing the life forms of the Silk Civilization, while the rest are merely drones controlled through some form of manipulation?" A human scholar stood up.
His idea resonated with many scholars.
Another scholar added to his point: "On the battlefield, we have been fighting the Silk Civilization for so many years, and in reality, we have not seen the Silk Civilization use very complex tactics."
"At the same time, our tactics are generally able to overwhelm the Silk Civilization, proving that their computational power is insufficient. If only a small number of life forms are making decisions, it is easy to achieve such results."
A brainstorming session.
Yan Xia was also among them, not setting himself apart from the other scholars.
In this meeting, he preferred to be an ordinary participant because if he sat in the center, it would undoubtedly influence the judgment of the other scholars.
"It is true that the Silk Civilization connects its battleships with silk."
"But the fact is that when we destroyed the core battleship of the Silk Civilization, it only caused the other battleships to lose their connection. It did not render them like headless flies."
"In fact, their combat power remained strong afterward. I believe that the silk is just a weapon of the Silk Civilization, and the information connection is merely a byproduct." Loulian stood up and said.
As someone who had been fighting against the Silk Civilization for a long time, he naturally received the task of attending the meeting under Yan Xia's arrangement.
"Okay, let's first categorize the different types of the Silk Civilization and then combine data analysis to assess the probability of each type." A scholar proficient in data analysis stood up and said.
"Does anyone else have new insights? Please feel free to share."
"By brainstorming, we can increase our understanding of the Silk Civilization, and our chances of victory in battles against them can be raised by at least 5%."
At this moment, Yan Xia stood up.
His action attracted the attention of all the scholars.
He gently tapped the table, and the entire conference room became quiet. He calmly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is obvious that we cannot analyze the life forms of the Silk Civilization by sitting here."
"I think you may have misunderstood the purpose of this meeting."
"We are indeed exploring the life forms of the Silk Civilization, but not through analysis, but through practice."
Yan Xia's intention was not to obtain speculative data.
He wanted 100% confirmation.
However, some of these scholars misunderstood his intention. They thought that Yan Xia wanted to brainstorm and speculate about the life forms of the Silk Civilization and then formulate multiple tactics to test in the next war.
But...
"I understand that you are scholars who have not experienced war."
"But you should know that war is cruel. Those cold, hard numbers are not just numbers; they represent real lives."
"Everything has a cost. For example, building a battleship or doing something that takes a long time, the cost is just money, just time. I can even say that these are just money and time!"
"In war, every cost is a living life. It's not one life, not two lives, but billions of lives."
"There is such a cost to every one of your speculations."
"How can we reduce this cost? My idea is not to carry it out in the war but to do it now during the ceasefire. We can test it out."
"The reason I gathered you here is to discuss how to probe the life forms of the Silk Civilization with the lowest cost."
Assertive!
Yan Xia did not want to interfere too much in this meeting, but his every move determined everything in the meeting.
At the same time, he had to speak up to correct the direction of the meeting; otherwise, it would become somewhat strange.
All the scholars present were geniuses of the Federation. After Yan Xia spoke, they fell into deep thought. Some scholars even had expressions of guilt on their faces.
It was clear that what they had been discussing was a lazy approach, pushing everything to be tested in the next war. Perhaps they did not do it intentionally, but even if it was unintentional, it was still shameful for them.
Yan Xia's words raised the bar for them.
After Yan Xia sat down, the conference room fell silent for nearly 70 hours, with not a single scholar speaking. They thought, planned, denied their own ideas, denied their own plans, and then re-established their plans.
Again and again.
Then, a scholar spoke up: "Since we want to reduce this cost, can we try my plan first, which has no cost at all?"
His voice caught the attention of the pondering scholars.
"Remember the Olive Branch Civilization, or remember our first contact with the Olive Branch Civilization."
"The Olive Branch Civilization used a small spaceship to put the entire Federation on alert. Facing this unfamiliar civilization, we had to do one thing, and that was to communicate."
"Until now, we do not understand the life forms of the Silk Civilization, nor do we understand their communication methods or language models."
"I think we should start with language, as it is simpler."
"Therefore, we can launch a spaceship. This spaceship will use the technology of the Olive Branch Civilization. Facing a highly advanced civilization like the Olive Branch Civilization, the Silk Civilization may be motivated to initiate communication..."
A great plan!
Yan Xia clapped his hands.
This was the plan he wanted, although it was still a bit immature. But it was feasible.
