Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 321: Artificial Intelligence Disaster?
At this moment, Tom’s Flying Star still retained a substantial mass, ensuring ample material supplies for a short period.
The Abyss Civilization before him had evidently adopted the same strategy he had once used: holding steadfastly to three large planets, attempting to exhaust his supplies with their more abundant resources, and thereby defeat him.
"You are indeed a powerful civilization, and this strategy is certainly effective right now. I’m afraid any other Strong Nuclear Civilization would not fare well. It’s just a pity that you encountered me..."
With war now certain, neither side exchanged any further words.
"Primal, it’s up to you!"
"Received."
Countless unmanned warships, mixed with innumerable mine-laying ships, mine-sweeping ships, missile ships, communication ships, space fortresses, and turrets, departed from the main fleet and surged towards Second Planet.
Second Planet seemed to be the planet most valued by the Abyss Civilization. They had concentrated their strongest defensive forces around this planet.
But... attacking their most heavily defended planet was precisely the plan!
Seeing Tom’s massive unmanned combat force, the Supreme Leader’s visual organs in the Eye of the Abyss spacecraft narrowed slightly.
These all seemed to be unmanned spacecraft. Why weren’t they deploying manned warships?
Perhaps... this wasn’t an orthodox intelligent civilization, but rather a Mechanical Disaster?
If it was a Mechanical Disaster, its value was even greater than that of an ordinary orthodox intelligent civilization. Because the main AI of a Mechanical Disaster was nurtured using the fate of an entire civilization as nourishment; once their own main AI devoured it, their own main AI’s performance would also skyrocket!
"Very good, very good. In that case, we absolutely cannot let you off...
This is a Mechanical Disaster fleet! Command: fight with all your might, defeat them!"
"Yes!"
The flashes of countless exploding shells, space mines, missiles, and bombs instantly enveloped Second Planet. In just a single moment, an unknown number of manned and unmanned warships were destroyed.
Inside the supercomputing mothership, tens of thousands of super quantum computers formed an array, operating and calculating at full capacity under the supply of even more nuclear fusion power plants.
The code, born from the fusion of the two AIs, Goku and Akakenu AI, controlled these hardware elements with all its might, generating a massive amount of data in an instant, which was then transmitted through the super-long-range communication network to every spacecraft, every missile, every radar, and every satellite on the front lines.
At this moment, the number of intelligent chips belonging to Tom’s side in the battlefield was almost hundreds of millions of billions.
A single missile might contain thousands of intelligent chips, precisely controlling every module of the missile. A small unmanned warship might have tens of thousands of chips, and even the most inconspicuous space mine had at least five chips.
At this moment, through the super-long-range communication network, these hundreds of millions of billions of chips were all connected to Primal. Each chip would send and receive data in real-time. At this moment, they collectively condensed into an unimaginably vast network, and Primal was at the core of this giant network, controlling every part of it as if by an arm’s command, without any hindrance.
Tom even felt that at this moment, the countless unmanned combat facilities belonging to him in the battlefield had converged into a tangible "person."
Satellites and observation equipment were its eyes, Primal was its brain, spacecraft were its body, and missiles and shells were its weapons...
Truly unified from top to bottom, from the micro to the macro, a seamless whole.
Under these circumstances, even if Tom had only deployed unmanned combat forces at this moment, without a single manned warship participating, in this vast interstellar battlefield, facing all the combat forces of this civilization that had almost reached the peak of the Strong Nuclear, his side could still fight back and forth without falling behind!
"Indeed, after integrating Akakenu AI, my unmanned combat capabilities have indeed seen a huge improvement."
Tom’s heart was filled with excitement.
The quality of Primal was truly verified at this moment.
Inside the Eye of the Abyss spacecraft, the Supreme Leader’s expression was grave.
The combat power of this Mechanical Disaster exceeded his previous imagination!
He had originally thought that since it was a Mechanical Disaster, its tactics would inevitably be rigid and its fighting style inflexible.
While this was indeed true—he could clearly perceive the stiffness and inflexibility in the operation of these unmanned combat forces—the problem was that this stiffness and inflexibility were relative to their own manned warships.
Compared to their own unmanned combat forces, they were far too flexible and intelligent!
Their own unmanned combat forces were almost no match for them.
This meant their side needed to use manned combat forces to counter. But then another problem arose: its overall battlefield control was too high.
From the micro to the macro, from even a single space mine to the overall battlefield situation, the opponent’s war AI seemed to have complete control, which offset most of its disadvantages.
The war had reached a point where, although their side had not fallen into a disadvantage, and in some areas even held an advantage, they could only maintain it as such. There was no hope of victory for now.
The Supreme Leader gritted his teeth in secret.
After a long period of contemplation, he suddenly turned around, faced his subordinates, and said in a deep voice, "Transmit my order: initiate a civilization mobilization order. We must increase our industrial capacity by more than 50% in the short term.
At the same time, all second-line and reserve soldiers are to be conscripted, and a conscription order is to be issued!
Within one year, conscript another 100 million or more soldiers, and within three years, form initial combat capability!"
Facing the Supreme Leader’s demands, his subordinates’ expressions turned pale.
This would have too great an impact on the civilization as a whole...
But they also understood that at this moment, their side had no other choice.
"Yes!"
Time quietly flowed by, and in a blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Inside the Eye of the Abyss spacecraft, a subordinate reported to the attendees with a hint of excitement.
"As of today, our side has gained a significant advantage in 19 out of a total of 28 battlefield regions. In the remaining 9 battlefields, the worst-case scenario is that we are maintaining parity.
It is estimated that we will only need a maximum of ten years to win the final victory!"
Whoosh...
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the large conference room. Every attendee was filled with excitement.
A long-lost smile also appeared on the Supreme Leader’s face.
So many years of painstaking planning, even mobilizing the entire civilization, finally, they were finally going to win this one...
While the war raged fiercely on the front lines, Tom in the rear was still fully engaged in "human experiments" on Blue, researching the mysteries of gravity.
Citing the dangerous situation outside, Tom did not allow it to return home, but kept it here.
If he didn’t seize the time, there would be no more research to be done later...
The war situation on the battlefield was also quietly changing.
Tom noticed that the Abyss Civilization’s combat power was constantly and slowly increasing. As of today, they had even completely suppressed Primal, gaining an advantage in most parts of the battlefield.
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the opponent achieved final victory.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Tom made a decision.
"Primal’s capabilities have been verified. During this time, with the Abyss Civilization serving as free sparring partners, the war data it has collected is almost sufficient. There’s nothing more to gain by continuing the fight.
Since that’s the case... deploy the manned fleet."
