Chapter 262 The Lower Limit of Civilization

In the subsequent actual combat exercises, this first asteroid-class battleship showed its strength to crush low-level battleships.

My electromagnetic guns and laser guns are more numerous and more powerful, and can attack in all directions around 360 degrees. My fine radar detection capability is stronger and the capture capability is higher. It can detect electromagnetic gun projectiles or micro interstellar missiles and interstellar mines with faster speed and smaller volume and mass;

My long-range detection radar is also more precise, and can accurately lock your warships at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and use laser guns or electromagnetic guns to launch large-scale strikes;

My precision bogies are faster and more accurate; I have stronger power and more sufficient energy supply. Even if my mass is several times that of yours, I can maneuver more flexibly and quickly than your warships;

My armor technology is more advanced. Under multiple composite armor, ordinary electromagnetic gun projectiles cannot penetrate my defense even if they break through the interception.

In this case, how can you fight?

In actual combat, an asteroid-class battleship crushed an entire fleet of 30 Nebula- and Stardust-class battleships.

But Han Yang knew that the true combat power of the asteroid-class battleships had not yet been fully explored.

Because it was only fighting alone at the moment. And the asteroid-class battleships were not designed for fighting alone.

Using it to fight alone is a waste of its various performances. Its real tactic is to launch offensive operations against important enemy targets with the cooperation and assistance of many of its own Nebula- and Stardust-class battleships, and improve the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet in terms of detection performance and defense performance.

Don't let me take care of the hard and dirty work such as clearing mines and intercepting projectiles. I will provide you with detection data, and you can do it yourself. Wait until the enemy has important targets, such as fleet flagships, space fortresses, and other large targets that cannot be conquered, and then let me take action.

In this tactical mode, the role that an asteroid-class battleship can play is more than just destroying dozens of small battleships alone.

But...

"Asteroid-class battleships are good, but they really consume resources and computing power to build... Even if they are controlled, the computing power consumed is equivalent to a full thousand Stardust-class battleships."

Even with Han Yang's current computing power, it is impossible to mass-produce asteroid-class battleships.

Because a considerable part of the parts needed to manufacture asteroid-class battleships cannot be mass-produced, they can only rely on Han Yang to consume a lot of computing power and customize them in a laboratory-like device. At the same time, based on the extremely high performance requirements of asteroid-class battleships, the demand for some rare minerals is also extremely high.

This kind of rare mineral is produced very little in the solar system and is extremely troublesome.

On the whole, asteroid-class battleships can only belong to the level of "big killers". Each one is a heavy weapon in the army and has a special status.

But even so, Han Yang still set an ambitious goal.

"In the next ten years, I will build 100 asteroid-class battleships! I will build 9,000 Nebula-class battleships, 250,000 Stardust-class battleships! I will build 50 aerospace motherships!"

Compared to today's human civilization, this ambitious shipbuilding plan undoubtedly seems a bit whimsical, just like a primitive civilization wanting to build a dam hundreds of meters high.

But, with Han Yang's computing power addition, everything is different.

Today, Han Yang has completely integrated human civilization and completely turned the entire civilization's tens of billions of people into his own helpers.

In addition, Han Yang has newly developed a special social organization and production model.

In this model, Han Yang uses his computing power network and a large number of intelligent devices to turn every human builder into a weakened version of himself.

In the construction activities, human builders only need to rely on their own wisdom to make "decisions" that intelligent programs cannot make. After making decisions, most of the actual construction actions can be handed over to intelligent programs.

Originally, these decisions required Han Yang to consume his own computing power to make.

A simple analogy is that Han Yang built a platform network, and the human builders were the "hosts" on this platform network.

Through this platform network, Han Yang integrated the wisdom and computing power of the entire civilization and connected all the builders together. In this way, the human builders saved Han Yang a lot of computing power, and their own production efficiency was greatly improved.

Roughly estimated, Han Yang realized that under this two-in-one model, the productivity that the intelligent life can provide even reached about half of his own.

This can be regarded as an extremely amazing improvement. And this is only in terms of construction. In terms of R&D and scientific research, human scientists have provided Han Yang with even more help than himself.

At least in terms of scientific research, Han Yang's wisdom alone is no match for the wisdom of tens of millions of people. The reason why Han Yang was able to achieve the scientific and technological R&D capabilities of an entire civilization in the past was because the wisdom of intelligent life could not be effectively communicated, and intelligent life alone could not be integrated together.

Now, Han Yang has played the role of integrating wisdom.

The effect of the combination of Han Yang and human civilization is more than just one plus one equals two.

The two promote each other, complement each other, and improve each other. The combined effect is far greater than the two.

Under this circumstance, under the call and leadership of Han Yang, the entire human civilization has truly invested in a magnificent shipbuilding plan.

On the more than 50 large planets, dwarf planets, and satellites with high value in the solar system, huge factories have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and a large number of power plants, mines, smelting plants, foundries, etc., are roaring day and night.

A total of tens of thousands of giant cargo ships in the star system shuttle back and forth, transporting tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of tons of materials to visit different planets, and billions of human builders travel back and forth between the planets, contributing their strength unreservedly for the future of civilization.

After hundreds of years of misery, every human being has deeply realized that the only one who can protect himself in this vast universe is himself.

At the same time, even with such a huge project and such a huge consumption of social resources, people's living standards have not dropped much.

Business is still prosperous. Every weekend, people are crowded in the commercial streets, shopping malls, restaurants, amusement parks, and major entertainment venues. The supply of materials is sufficient. No matter how exquisite or luxurious, it is absolutely not a problem to maintain a medium level.

Culture and education have not fallen behind. Under Han Yang's strong intervention, 17 years of compulsory education has really been implemented.

Every human child must receive a university-level education. After that, those who are interested in scientific research can further receive further education and pursue master's and doctoral degrees. After passing the assessment, they can truly enter the scientific community. Those who are not talented or not interested can go to other industries.

In Han Yang's view, in the contemporary era of such advanced technology, maintaining the living standards of ordinary people is a very simple matter, and it does not consume much resources at all.

A nuclear fusion power plant can supply hundreds of comprehensive agricultural buildings. An agricultural building adopts an automated planting mode, which can plant more than 20,000 acres of wheat, produce 20,000 tons every three months, and produce 80,000 tons of food every year, which is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for a year.

A livestock building can produce tens of thousands of tons of beef or pork in a year, which can supply more people.

In this way, people's living standards can be improved simply.

As for the rich people who want to eat natural food and meat? Want to eat food that really grows on the land, want to eat pork, beef and mutton raised in the wild?

That's fine, but the price is more expensive, just spend more money. Not enough money? Then work hard and make money. Nowadays, humans are carrying out such a huge project, and there are job demands everywhere. As long as the compulsory education stage is slightly better, you can find a lot of high-paying jobs.

In Han Yang's view, the significance of technological development for human survival lies in greatly improving the lower limit.

With sufficient supply of cheap food and meat, even those who are unable to work can obtain sufficient cheap food and meat through social welfare, and it is not a problem to maintain survival, or even maintain healthy survival.

As for the past, during the colonization stage of the Itar civilization, a large number of humans even died of starvation and freezing. This can only be said that the Itar people exploited too much and didn't care about their face.

It is obvious that the bottom class can survive by sharing a little bit of profit, but they are unwilling to share even such a little bit of profit.

Under this situation, a large number of new warships were quickly produced in the thousands of shipyards built by Han Yang.

In just ten years, a total of about 260,000 warships, supply ships, support ships, transport ships, etc. required for the expedition to the Eta galaxy were all built. At the same time, countless interstellar mines, micro-missiles, detection satellites, spies and armed satellites, interstellar artillery, etc. were also produced in large quantities.

The average annual output of various warships is about 26,000 ships!

Such high efficiency may shock Yuanshan civilization.

At the same time, Han Yang launched a large-scale conscription when the shipbuilding plan was just launched.

According to Han Yang, in ten years, the human government has recruited and trained a total of 50 million human warriors. After ten years of hard and serious training, these human warriors have become elites, with the ability to protect civilization and launch revenge operations.

Now, the time has finally come for an expedition to the Itar civilization, relying on real war to gain space for the survival and development of human civilization. (End of this chapter)
