Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

Because all the drone warehouses of the 100-meter-class destroyers are now completely empty.

Chapter 430 Graf is well prepared

The trainees like Ander who came to test the battleship, in addition to testing the battleship's functions in dozens of projects, the first thing they had to do was to make a full-speed test voyage to the drone factory next to the asteroid belt, and then fill up the warehouse in their battleship before testing the drone.

In the past, if humans wanted to reach the asteroid belt from the moon, ordinary cargo ships and tugboats would usually take more than three months to arrive.

Save fuel.

However, even those expensive "high-speed battleships" in the international fleet that did not care about flying costs before, before Anna improved the engine, these international fleet battleships would need at least three days to reach the asteroid belt from the moon.

However, this batch of 100-meter-class warships that just came out of the slipway on the moon can use the new sub-light speed engine to travel to the drone factory in the asteroid belt in only about two hours.

Just the speed.

As far as Graf knew, the Zerg motherships were flying at sub-light speeds more than 30 times faster.

And if humans had enough of these warships.

Forget about tactics like blitzkrieg and feinting to the east while making a feint to the west.

By then, even if we run, we can kill all the bugs in the galaxy.

"An amazing military industrial product!"

After returning to the crew lounge in the front half of the battleship, Graf said to Anna, "But you haven't told me the mass production cost of this kind of battleship, nor have you explained the future prospects for ordinary humans on Earth. Because all I see now is a giant toy and war tool that superpowered people can activate at will..."

Colonel Graf is still upset about Anna destroying his combat school and plans.

"If the planned production volume exceeds 2000 ships, the cost of this type of warship can now be controlled within 8000 million rubles, and the greater the number in the future, the more the cost will drop..."

Anna said to Graf, "According to calculations, when mass production reaches more than 537819336 ships... Of course, Russia doesn't have that much money right now, because they have other warships to produce..."

"But perhaps in ten or twenty years, when production reaches 537819336 ships, due to economies of scale, their future costs... will be diluted to closer to 2000 million rubles per ship."

"Of course, the exchange rate between rubles and US dollars is always 1:1. I think you know this..."

"You don't have to worry about this ship becoming obsolete. Thanks to its modular design, many parts can be easily replaced during the production process," Anna said. "If the hull itself and the non-replaceable hypersonic engines become obsolete... then it might take hundreds of years. By then, this will be a very convenient and very cheap 'civilian' vessel..."

"So what's the way out for ordinary people?" Graf asked. "Your superpower school and the psychic detectors that have been spread all over the earth have artificially split humanity into two parts..."

"If you don't solve the problem of ordinary people's future, then after the Zerg War, the first war to break out will be between ordinary people and those with super powers..."

Graf is not making this up.

Although Anna wouldn't say that he came prepared, she couldn't ignore the old white man's opinion.

Because there were no psychic power detectors and no mature scientific system for supernatural power research, those geniuses with extraordinary psychic talents on Earth were often hidden among ordinary people, pretending to be successful scientists, chess masters, educators, politicians, etc.

Basically, apart from their photographic memory and exceptionally fast thinking, they don't see themselves as any different from ordinary people. Geniuses like Einstein and Oppenheimer would be considered abnormal if they didn't have these abilities.

Before the advent of detectors, most of the famous scientists in the world were super humans whose mental power reached dozens of points.

But after Anna's psychic power detector appeared, she artificially classified those with a psychic power of more than 20 points into the category of superpowers, which is different from ordinary people...

Her actions actually artificially created a gap between these people and the ordinary people who make up the absolute majority of the population on Earth.

You have to know that racial discrimination among old white men on the earth has a long history.

Before, there were black people and yellow people.

Behind them are third world countries and other underdeveloped regions.

Then there are those in the country who have not received higher education.

At this point, whether out of jealousy or envy, these people will immediately target those "super-powered people" whose mental strength is naturally several times higher than theirs, or all those in school... who have better grades and are smarter than them.

In fact, there are people on Earth today who have noticed the signs of this kind of confrontation.

Because no matter which era it is.

There are plenty of short-sighted, self-centered, aggressive idiots everywhere.

Before human interstellar civilization evolves to communism.

These idiots are always there.

It's just that the final battle between humans and Zerg is imminent, and Earth still needs these students from Anna's School of Superpowers to serve with peace of mind.

The second is what the politicians and various forces on Earth can do but cannot say about the balance and constraints on the newly emerged "superpowers", these new humans who have already evolved in the field of mental power.

"Ordinary people naturally have a way out..."

Although most ordinary people are idiots, and most don't care about things that are far from them, Anna still left a window for them: "What do you think the simulator competition is about?"

The escape route Anna left for ordinary people was...

In addition to the captain who is an ordinary human, and the other four crew members, the 100-meter-class drone artillery that bombards the mothership, as well as 1000 drones, are controlled by a larger number of ordinary people in the multi-functional cabins of the warship.

Chapter 431: Regarding the Evolution of All Humanity

It doesn't matter if there are no super-powered people. Anna's mass-produced warships only need to be modified in the multi-functional cabin, and then dozens of his gunners and thousands of fighter pilots can be crammed into the warships. If all the crew members cooperate with the ship's quantum computer, then the entire warship can be controlled.

Of course, human quantum computers are still relatively rigid.

Moreover, the government is unwilling to develop the legendary strong artificial intelligence that can manage and calculate everything.

There are hundreds of crew members, and there is no coordination or tacit understanding during combat. This kind of thing is impossible.

Therefore, when the warships are operated by ordinary people, the comprehensive firepower will be much weaker than those when the captains are people with super powers.

But a fair fight with the same number of bugs...

That's still absolutely possible.

And honestly, geniuses with a Spirit Power of over 20 points are a scarce resource in any era. According to Anna's calculations, only one in two million humans has this talent.

So in addition to being super-powered people who can use various special powers to show off, these people are actually the future scientists and educators of mankind. However, for these people, being cannon fodder for mankind in a war with the Zerg in a 100-meter small battleship can be considered an extreme waste.

Therefore, there is a 90% chance that the captains and crews of these 100-meter-class artillery battleships will only be composed of ordinary human beings in the future.

Otherwise, what do you think the simulator competitions that are going on all over the world right now are all about? Even fan groups and fan clubs around the world are getting involved...

Isn't it just an experiment conducted by the governments of various countries? In order to allow ordinary people to operate these 100-meter-class mass-produced warships, they made preliminary introductions and preparations in the simulator.

As for the superpowers in Anna's school...

She would not allow her students' future to be limited to the position of a soldier or human cannon fodder.

Even if I have to be cannon fodder for humanity.

She also has a larger and more powerful 4000-meter-class ultimate flagship to choose from.

This small mass-produced warship is nothing more than a recruiting base for students in the superpower school and their first job in the space fleet.

“Humans need to evolve…”

"We are already in the interstellar age of racial competition. It is impossible for us humans to remain unchanged, or even regress. This not only refers to human science and technology, but also to the individual abilities of mankind."

Anna said, "The psychic detector I created... simply tears apart the veil of natural evolution and genetic selection that humans have been hiding for so many years..."

"Look, throughout history, we've evolved Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla, Einstein, Schrödinger, and Planck... Humanity's current education system and the scientific thinking of modern civilization have evolved and nurtured all the world's great scientists. They are all genetically evolved beings gifted with extraordinary spiritual power..."

"And my psychic detector, and the current superpower school..."

"It's simply the beginning of a scientific and systematic study of this random genetic evolution. Once human technology and quantum mechanics have developed to a certain level, in the interstellar era, this will become an inevitable consequence of human evolution."

For their own purpose of 'dividing' humanity.

Anna had no excuses or hiding anything.

Because her purpose is to divide humanity and to urge the already slack humanity to continue to evolve.

Just like illiteracy is no longer suitable for modern society after the Industrial Revolution.

In the future interstellar era, any human whose mental power is less than 20 points will actually be unsuitable for the rapidly developing galaxy-level civilization.

If humans don't evolve anymore.

What awaits them then is only the stagnation or even regression of civilization, and being ruthlessly eliminated in the racial competition that occurs every few hundred years or even thousands of years.

Why isn't Anna afraid of the Zerg in this world at all?

A big reason.

She knew that the Zerg in the galaxy today were essentially the same as those of hundreds or thousands of years ago. In other words, the Zerg civilization, which had only grown with the help of a few queens, had actually stagnated in the galaxy after defeating the previous generation of competing races.

It stagnated to the point where...it only took humans a few decades to surpass the Zerg in technology.

If humans today want to defeat them, it will only take a little time, provided they don't make any mistakes.

This is the evolutionary path Anna has found for future humans.

In fact, it's a bit like releasing a superpowered catfish into the pond of human society. The idea of ​​not forgetting one's roots, being brave enough to strive, and not letting them just sit back and wait for food...all these incentives are designed to give future humans a set of incentives.

Then let the human race as a whole strive to complete the necessary evolution in the next few hundred years of the interstellar era.

After Anna tore through the illusion and veil that all people are born equal, she had already put the cruelty of racial competition in the galaxy before the scientists and human decision makers.

Fortunately,...

The Russians in this world are different from those in Western countries.

Because after experiencing the Cold War, being manipulated and blocked by the West, and finally recovering from the first Zerg invasion...

Today's Russia is a country with a democratic centralism similar to that of the Soviet era, as well as a "military dictatorship" and strongman politics that is in a state of war.

All the highest affairs are decided by a supreme committee consisting of dozens of people in a collective resolution.

Universal elections and street campaigning like in the United States and other Western countries don't exist.

Therefore, when making any decision, the Russians and the Supreme Committee, who are accustomed to strongman politics, do not have to consider votes at all. They do not have to run to the uneducated neighborhoods to shake hands with voters, hug their children, and kiss their malnourished cheeks.

The Supreme Council only needs to make decisions that benefit all citizens.

They don't need to canvass for votes by sensationalism, nor do they need to please short-sighted voters and those groups that dance the most enthusiastically.

In this era, the selection and promotion of all members of the Supreme Council are based on a very strict set of selection criteria that are almost semi-open to all Russian citizens.

No one inside can be entered by opportunists, party hacks or political thugs.

So Anna can still talk to them openly about the evolution of all mankind.

Chapter 432: Warships are also tools for training

If Anna is willing to follow the rules in this world and quietly gain experience, then when she is in her forties or fifties...

It would be natural for her to become the most influential figure in the Russian Supreme Council, and even be able to influence more than half of the members.

Now the politicians in the Supreme Council are of course on guard against Anna.

However, these people are like Batman in DC, they are actually on guard against everyone in the world. Their goal is to do everything in their power to prevent the power in their country and political ecosystem from becoming the only dominant force.

This kind of weighing of pros and cons was already a common knowledge. Therefore, Anna's feelings towards and relationships with the Supreme Council members weren't as unbearable and incompatible as others imagined.

Of course, the world is not as simple as it seems.

Anna is more than what she showed herself to be in front of the Supreme Council, the child prodigy and the one with super powers.

And someone like the female professor is not just a lazy person who hangs around in school every day.

Anna didn't understand why a female professor, a venerable member of the Pan-Crossing Alliance, would choose to be a mere nobody at a university in this world. Although her "cousin" hinted that she was coming to this world to learn about interstellar science and technology, Lord Salty Fish would never have any problem with Anna, a middling divine being, messing with the world...

But God knows how many people like her with unclear goals are there in this world.

Anna is here to plan for the life and death of mankind.

However, these big guys who love to be spectators may not be interested in intervening in the playing house in the Milky Way.

So, as long as one has a bit of maturity, like the humility, prudence, pragmatism, integrity, and equality that a time traveler should always possess... Anna will never forget these things. Because this attitude may inadvertently save your life.

……

"I don't know what you think of me, Colonel Graf... but in reality, I'm probably the most qualified scientist you've ever met... even now."

In the crew's lounge, Anna smiled and said to Graf, "Humanity needs to evolve. Whether it's genetic evolution, uploading consciousness to a mechanical body, or spiritual sublimation, humans in the future must choose one of these."
