Li Zhendong spoke faster and faster: "In other words, the other party just wants to blackmail and does not want to bear too much loss."
"So I have several assumptions here. The first is that the opponent cannot eat us without damage or with small damage. In other words, if they really fight, their losses will definitely exceed 1,500 amoeba points..."
"Second, they are also evaluating our will to fight. Civilizations with high will to fight and civilizations with low will to fight are two different levels of magnitude."
"If we really fight and destroy this battle star, the other party will also suffer huge losses, but it will just take advantage of other forces for no reason..."
"If we are tougher, the other party may not dare to take the risk of blackmail."
This is a good approach. From the perspective of game theory, Zhang Yuan agrees with Li Zhendong's point of view. If the other party is really awesome, is there any need to grind like this?
Li Zhendong continued: "If only we knew the hostile forces of the Apollo civilization, we could also try to cause some trouble for them. As it is now, it is really a bit passive."
Captain Feng said: "You mean... to unite other forces vertically and horizontally? This is not possible. Other forces will just watch this happen. Or they may want to gain some benefits."
Li Zhendong said directly: "We can use some benefits in exchange to find out the forces behind the Apollo civilization. Other civilizations may not be happy to see their opponents gain an extra battle star for no reason..."
Diplomat Lao Yang said: "No, the news may not be reliable. If another civilization casually mentions one of its hostile forces, are we stupid enough to join in?"
"Moreover, our capital is too small, we can't operate here long enough, and we have lost the territory in the Dyson sphere. We can't do assassinations or the like."
At this time, everyone was in a dilemma.
Apart from being tougher, there seems to be no better way.
It is unreliable to rely on others. The only one you can rely on is yourself.
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, calm down first. Let me talk about the consequences of losing this battle star. First of all, escaping without war will directly affect the ruling base of our New Civilization School. "
"What will the people think if a battle star is lost for no reason? They have devoted their enthusiasm to this planet and worked overtime for decades for no reason, just to live on the surface of the planet and gain a higher sense of security. . A battle star can accommodate billions of people, and they no longer need to be dispersed among various spaceships as before."
"If this planet is suddenly lost, the people's hope will turn into anger and vent on us. They will complain that the government is weak and incompetent. It is not impossible to overthrow the government again!"
"What will happen then? It's hard for us to really predict. If we lose this battle star, will we immediately develop a second one? No, at least not within thousands of years..."
"Our subsequent series of plans will all come to nothing. Perhaps after a huge internal chaos, it will soon become a Sinker civilization. These are not impossible."
"Although all of us here know that there is no need to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills, but for a civilization, this is not the case. The people's thinking is different from ours. They are so cowardly that they can't The method is just like the rest of us."
"After your spine is broken, it's difficult to stand up again."
Li Zhendong took a sip of water and nodded slightly.
Indeed, the government elite team can solve the problem from the most rational perspective, but the people cannot. If the planetary fortress is really abandoned, the new human civilization will be in turmoil within itself, and the consequences will be difficult to bear...
With civil unrest breaking out in the current situation, hope for the future is essentially lost.
Zhang Yuan paused for a while and continued: "Ahem... If the battle ends with failure and the battle star is lost, the situation may be slightly better. At least there will not be too much chaos among the people."
"But war will always kill people. After a real conflict, can it be stopped by the friction of drones alone?"
"Of course it's impossible. Once a conflict occurs, it will gradually intensify and then lead to a full-scale conflict..."
"So, if we choose this path, we must be prepared for some of the population to flee. Children and scientists who have no fighting ability need to be prepared to leave first..."
"Our combat effectiveness can barely compete with a level four civilization, but it is impossible to compare with a major alliance... If a full-scale conflict really occurs, it is difficult to truly win, but even if we are defeated, with a part of the population fleeing, we can There is still the possibility of turning around in the future."
"It's better to be angry externally than internally."
The voting process this time was very difficult, and it seemed to determine the future destiny.
From the perspective of the entire civilization, even if it fails, the dead are better than the undead.
In the end, the shrewd and capable female captain slammed the table and said loudly: "Everyone, there is no need to hesitate. We have been silent for so many years. If an enemy attacks, then roll up your sleeves and prepare to fight!"
…
In the next few months, the diplomatic situation began to gradually escalate. The Apollo civilization visited the air defense identification zone for the third time, saying that it wanted to "purchase some excellent new human scientists and was willing to pay a high price"!
This thing is even more impossible!
Although the other party verbally reported a good price, normal civilizations would not sell their own scientists.
If even the scientists are sold and they still want to continue development in the future, will the people directly rebel?
After being rejected, the other party didn't say anything and left anyway…
The fourth arrival of Apollo civilization wants to buy another human mothership!
Of course, it is impossible for humans to agree. If the mothership sells one, the performance parameters of the spacecraft will be known to the other party. What will we do in the future?
After being rejected repeatedly, Apollo Civilization seemed a little angry. He thought that he had no moral problem, but that the new humans were deliberately playing tricks!
What does it mean to offer a high price but be rejected repeatedly? Obviously looking down on it!
Therefore, the Apollo civilization first vigorously condemned the new human civilization in the joint meeting, and then actually filed a lawsuit in the joint meeting, believing that the "new human civilization" had caused an insult to its reputation, and stated that the new human civilization was sold to them The "extra color paper" is false and requires compensation of 4000 amoeba points!
The new human nature is too lazy to pay attention to this kind of inexplicable lawsuit. If you go on stage to argue, you will lose.
Then the Apollo civilization drove a large number of warships over and docked near the air defense identification zone of the new human civilization.
One ship, two ships, three ships... more and more troops!
The signal reflected in this is that the game between the two parties has begun to heat up, and the other party has officially broken up.
A certain force in this starry sky is using this incident to test the new human civilization and ask it to exit this "game" quickly, and also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.
A half-finished battle star is already pretty good, not to mention that humans have their own unique technology...
It's just this little reason, very simple, very complex, and very realistic.
