Chapter 268: The technology tree is wrong?

0.95AU outside.

The human fleet floated quietly in the deep and dark space.

[Earth] Inside.

Lv Yongchang sat in his chair, quietly looking at the holographic image in front of him.

When he saw countless explosions and flames coming from the periphery of Proxima b in the image, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"It seems that the other side has built a lot of defense facilities in the planetary orbit."

As time passed, the explosions and flames gradually dissipated.

Lv Yongchang whispered: "Zero, report the results of the battle."

"Professor, according to observations, 151 projectiles broke through the enemy's defense network, of which 63 projectiles hit the enemy's defense facilities, and 88 projectiles entered the enemy's atmosphere and successfully hit the enemy's homeland."

As Zero's voice sounded, a simulation image appeared in the huge holographic projection in front of the command center.

The specific configuration of Proxima b's ring planet defense network was presented to everyone.

"According to observation, the defensive weapons used by the enemy are orbital high-energy laser cannons and orbital electromagnetic cannons."

Lv Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

There is not much difference from the information transmitted to the earth at the beginning. The Proxima civilization has indeed entered a period of development stagnation.

Even after more than a hundred years of development, they are still in the category of first-level civilization.

In addition, through the above information, a guess emerged in Lu Yongchang's mind.

The Proxima civilization does not seem to point out artificial intelligence technology.

The reason is very simple. As a tentative attack in the first round of attack, the human fleet did not fire many projectiles.

Even so, their defense network still had loopholes and even suffered heavy losses.

This is enough to prove his guess.

At least, if it were Zero, it would never be possible to make such a low-level mistake.

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Zero, simulate the interception process of the opponent to see if you can find a loophole."

"Received."

After Zero responded, he began his own calculation work.

Countless ballistic trajectories and motion paths appeared on the huge holographic projection.

"Do you think Proxima is still using a rigid interception program to control these space-based weapons?" Fang Xu frowned and looked at Lv Yongchang in surprise, "It's an interstellar civilization after all, so it shouldn't be so backward..."

Lv Yongchang shrugged: "Who knows? It's always better to try."

After saying that, he silently added in his heart: Zero is not something that ordinary civilizations can have.

As the only existence that is directly endowed with code by the technology tree system, Zero's help to technological civilization far exceeds everyone's imagination.

"Calculation completed."

Zero's voice sounded again: "According to the simulation results, I found the following defense loopholes:..."

Looking at the words listed one by one on the holographic projection, Lv Yongchang turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Fang Xu: "How about it? Am I right?"

Fang Xu was speechless: "..."

"Why do I feel that the technology tree of this Proxima civilization is crooked..."

Lv Yongchang ignored Fang Xu's complaints and gave orders directly.

"Everyone, keep silent."

"After one week, change the attack mode and conduct the second round of bombardment!"

...

One week later.

Augustus looked at the display in front of him with embarrassment.

The words "search failed" appeared again on the display.

During this period, they spent countless efforts to find the solar fleet, but obviously, they did not get any results.

The only good news is that they did not receive any attacks during this week.

Taking advantage of this gap, they started several spacecraft, climbed into space carefully, and carried out simple maintenance and replacement work on the planetary defense equipment to fill the loopholes that appeared after the attack.

Of course, in another way of thinking, this also means that the solar fleet is still shifting its position and is always ready for another similar attack.

"Sir Augustus, a communication request from Levi."

A Lyle walked up to him hesitantly and said in a respectful tone.

Augustus's face darkened, and he waved his short forelimbs impatiently: "Tell him not to bother me now."

Lyle, who was responsible for reporting the news, showed some panic in his eyes: "But, but..."

"Hmm?"

August's eyes showed some coldness, and he glared at Lyle in front of him: "But what?!"

Facing Augustus's gaze, Lyle's eyes were even more panicked, his breathing holes opened and closed rapidly, and the skin on the top of his thinking organ also perfectly reflected his panic mood.

But he still forced himself to speak: "But...Levi said that you must answer the call, otherwise, he can't guarantee the next counterattack."

The moment the voice fell, a scorching breath spurted out of Augustus's breathing hole and sprinkled on Lyle's face.

"How dare he..."

August roared angrily: "Lowly race, after solving the invader, I must settle this account with him!"

Lyle took a few steps back tremblingly.

"You!" After Augustus vented his anger, he looked at him fiercely: "Take the communication!"

Lyle nodded hurriedly, turned around and fled away from this place of trouble.

...

"Augusus."

Levi's somewhat angry voice came from the communication device: "What happened? Why was our planetary defense network so easily breached?"

"I was on the surface at the time. Do you know how dangerous it was?!"

Hearing Levi's question, Augustus' eyes suddenly rose with anger.

But soon, thinking of the consequences of Levi's accidental death, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.

"We underestimated the power of the shells, and I didn't expect those invaders to be so crazy." In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Augustus suppressed his anger and explained it vaguely.

Levi was obviously not very satisfied with Augustus' response.

But thinking that he still needed help from others, Levi also suppressed his dissatisfaction.

"Is there any solution?"

"What?" Augustus didn't understand the meaning of Levi's words for a while.

"I mean, is there any way to find the invader's fleet?" When it comes to business, Levi's tone gradually calmed down.

His words were full of worry: "It's difficult for me now. Many people want to launch a counterattack."

"But until now, we don't have the specific location of the enemy ship."

August sighed and shook his head slowly: "It's a pity."

"At present, we have activated the full-band active detection equipment and even used optical telescopes, but still have not made any progress."
