Aliens: *Invade human world to conquer it* Humans: *improvised warfare and insurgency go brrrr* Aliens: *Regroup, reinforce and try to exterminate humanity* Humans: *Galaxy gun cheese rush go brrrr*
@@Wolfbroa I don't know. Strapping guns to anything that floats has been a human tradition since gunpowder. I remember a story about a warship commissioned by a Swedish Prince that capsized when it was launched because of the weight of its cannons. I think I read somewhere that: The first generation of germany's ww2 fast attack destroyers had to operate at half fuel capacity cause their guns were SO heavy the ships risked floundering in rough seas. We are a species that learned to manipulate fire but never how to pump the brakes.
"Its just a patrool ship, we made it smaller, but the crew kept comming up whit performance enhancing suggestions... so we ended up here. Oh, and did i tell you that this cutie can make more of themselves? Yea, we have several spare AI blocks to take controll of the new ones if it comes to making one, oh? Big? This isnt big... you should see the military transporters, and the Titans, tho our Carier ships has to stay out of any system orbit, the last time we brought one into orbit the systems star started orbiting it, were curently trying to resolve that issue..."
@@claudelorenzo8111 It does depend on the Mass of a Blackhole in question. A star that is 300 times more massive than the Sun would make a Blackhole only 578 miles (930.2 Kilometers) in diameter. But you can create a black hole the size of a car if you collapse enough mass into it. But a Supermassive Blackhole can be 78 billion miles.
"May whatever Gods you believe on have mercy upon your souls!" "What if we made *you* the Gods?" "You had our attention, but now you have our curiosity."
After we invented a stick that stabs, we invented a different stick that makes the first stick deadlier when thrown after that everything sort of spiraled out of control and now we have metal tubes that can throw 300 projectiles in a minute at speeds faster than you can blink using a basic chemical reaction.
At first we just poked things to death, but then Bunga started using stick to poke harder, then Ooga put rock and stick together and poked harder. Then Grr threw rock stick. And it go far and poke things far away
One human walks into the room everyone but the invader group together in the corner and scream things like "We don't know him and he is not one of us."
Also every other alien: Rushing for the escape pods / shuttles in a frantic panic. Asking them selves how did they ever even got within the same ship / station / planet or equivalent? And making mental notes to never again interact with any those kind of crazy dead aliens... if they actually manage to get that far or reach any means of escaping the bending doom of simply being at the wrong place... at the wrong.... (TIMES OUT). Escape means get catapulted into void by an explosion of far greater magnitude than strictly necessary. Human: Did that space debris scream? I swear - sound isn't supposed to be audible through space. Maybe I had a beer too many before this mission.
Alien from said empire: we thought Earth would be easy to conquer Other alien who studied humanity: Oh no... You didn't. Afe: we attack them OA: oh no.. you idiots. Afe: they fought back like monsters from the deep dark cold space... OA: sounds about right. And then you apologized, retreated and never fought them again right? Afe:... OA: you didn't try to invade them again right?.... Afe:We couldn't even try. All the countries that fought eachother united and started invade us, destroying our empire like mad Gods. OA: Sounds about right... What did you expect from a species so likable by death? Their planet is one of the worst deathworlds that comes support life, almost all creatures in their planet are hostile, they actively consume poisonous substances and doing near death activities when bored, they literally simulate death every 'night' of their solar circle and gives them energy to go on, and they enjoy it! And those not even the tip of the iceberg..... Afe:*speechless and shocked* OA: humans are scary creatures.... Meanwhile on earth:: Human A: Those assholes were real jerks right? Human B: yeah... I'm bored are you up for some scuba diving with sharks? HA: Yeah sure. Let me finish my beer first tho HA: Oh look a cat HB:Aww it's so adorable♪
@@VengenceAngel ooh haven't seen others who read that one before. Although I'd say it's more like the Dahak built by the empire before humanity left earth otherwise known as Dahak II by the humans until destruction of the first.
The second story’s ship seemed like it was made by a more advanced version of the ancient human imperium from the Dayak trilogy. In those books, standard task forces were made up of battle stations the size of planetoids that had massive internal complements of fleets and supplies. The most prestigious and elite of these planetoid ships were decorated with giant armored figureheads of the imperial crest, which is essentially a King Ghidorah. The empire had millions of these ships.
That second story reminds me of the Dahak trilogy by David Weber. Definitely worth a read and the last book kind of sets up the premise for his Safehold series, at least imo.
Really wish he would continue on that series. I have a vague memory of a forum where he mentioned that just before destroying the Achuultani master computer, it would send a transmission to the "Nest Killers" in the Achuultani's original galaxy giving them its location.
It's not a patrol craft, it's the equivalent to a dinghy. The Terrans just make up weapons etc to freak the aliens out & avoid war. Terrans also kick alien ass in poker. Bluffing is a helluva skill.
@@AgroSquerril I haven't slept in 3 days, I've been doing nothing but listening to these videos playing StarCraft and watching my son. Send help idk what to do but I'm scared and everything smells like toast!
If only they had visited Texas and Russia, then they would have understood humanity's love of guns, and more guns, and bigger guns. I mean we took a .50 caliber heavy machine gun and used that as the base for a sniper rifle, and also built an airplane around a gun, and have used 75mm and 105mm guns in 2 and 4 engined aircraft. Aliens are darned lucky they did not encounter shock forces made of closed nightmare monsters from many millions of years ago or more - big and small, all teeth, talons, and hunger. Reptilian raptors and giant terror birds. And after defeat, one Terran says to the alien troop leader, "Broke into the wrong goldarn rec room didn't you?"
The human ship one sounds like me when cooking. A little bit more of that, and some of these a pinch more of that... Maybe some more of these and a handful of additional... Let’s give it a test... Hmmm, not quite ready. A few of those and a few more dashes of this should do it... maybe...
Ok. Sci-fi writers need to understand something: "c" is one hell of a huge lever and the kinetic energy equation is an exponential function in which doubling an object's velocity quadruples the kinetic energy said object contains (and once you get into relativistic territory, the math just ramps up from there). If you're throwing a car-sized projectile (assuming a compact 4 door sedan with a curb weight of 3342 lbs) at say... 0.7c, that slug is packing over 13 Gigatons TNT equivalent or *260 times the yield of Tsar Bomba*. Not only is that insane overkill for targeting ships, but you just announced to the galaxy at large that not only are such weapons possible, but you just demonstrated that you're *willing to throw unguided planet-killers around like crazy*. This means the rest of the galaxy will figure out how to develop such weapons themselves and then use them to saturation-bombard every human outpost they come across as you are now an existential threat to all sapient life. Seriously, there are all kinds of calculators available to run those numbers for free all over the internet and it would be helpful if people actually thought of the implications of what they're coming up with.
"We underrestimated human compassion" *Me:* why they should be exterminated they committed genocide on multiple species *Also me reading history:* Oh.... Oh no
After hearing several of these I can see a story almost forming to a point to be able to collect them all into one massive chronological story. That might be fun to gather writers to fill in the gaps.
that...honestly sounds like it's designed operational life well exceeds it's projected technological relevancy. that said, a "not a gas giant" sized self-contained-war-economy in one unit could actually be very practical if there were some genuine advantage to building things bigger...though by that same merit if they have the tech to do that and they have actual real advantage to doing that then there is abolutely zero reason that they would stop at "not a gas giant" for their largest vessels...probably employ a blanket "what? no, I'm totally just a black hole" category for everything they actually vaguely care about secrecy on while they are at it. maybe nom up a couple solar systems in the initial setup stage then go about scooping up interstellar debries for most of their materials if they are in any way trying to keep building crap like this a secret...even that actually sounds pretty noticeable...heh: converting actual black holes would probably work.
@@Maddog3060 go big or go home? I mean, usually a VN swarm is just that, a swarm. Smallest thing you can make that can accurately and completely copy itself, so you can have many hundreds of them, as opposed to having like 6. I would imagine the build time on something like that would be on the order of years or tens of years, not weeks or months. Though there is something to be said for the whole 'Oh sweet jeebus what the hell is that thing' effect.
I hate when people don't understand the difference between orbit and rotation, half a rotation is only 12 hours. We didn't reverse engineer anything in 12 hours.
That trip to HD can easily result in the components required for a Black Powder shotgun and a mess of explosive devices...including the required ingredients to make the BP. Taking that a step further, suitable metals for building a modern firearm are also commonly used in industry and thus are readily available in scrapyards around the world. Given the appropriate materials, a modern semi-automatic or fully automatic weapon with a rifled barrel is comfortably within the skillset of even a marginally competent machinist.
Story 2: Sounds like a juggernaut, battleship, dreadnought, Star Forge, and MCV had an awesome night together and gave birth to this……. Patrol Ship????? What do its older siblings look like? And more to the point: what are they so heavily armed for?!
all impressive don't mess with humans if we get a tiny bit of your tech we will not only reverse engenier it we will MAKE IT BETTER and kick your ass with it.
