Xenos:we have an armada capable of destroying every empire known in the universe what are you going to do. Humans:Rock Xenos;What the fu----- CONTACT LOST
Human: Hey buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. For example, how do I deter some slavering xeno from tearing me a superfluous new behind. Answer. Throw a rock. And if that doesn't work. Throw a bigger rock.
and if that doesnt work, repeat until you cant find any bigger rocks to throw. if that still doesnt work, take the biggest rock you can, and throw it harder. repeat until the problem isnt a problem anymore.
This reminds me so much of stargate with the asgard and the replicators. The Asgard have tried to stop them. You have demonstrated their weakness may be found from a less sophisticated approach. We are no longer capable of such thinking. Wait a minute. You're actually saying that you need someone dumber than you are? You may have come to the right place.
Cores of a star are said to have so much pressure, that they can be naturally encased with diamond made from carbon byproducts of nuclear fusion, and diamond is a rock...
If the enemy is using what amounts to a moving planet, what you need is a planet killer. Now, planet killers can come in all shapes and sizes. But nothing is as simple yet effective as a REALLY Big Rock
Dear Ambassadors, Allow me to show the human armada's greatest weapon, the "RBR" Unfortunately by the time you're seeing this it's too late, we sent them as soon as the war started, even before you knew this day would come, regardless of our position, we never intended to let you leave. We can't stop them, you can't stop them, we highly doubt any of your so called gods could. Unfortunately they will be arriving at your cradle worlds and here in exactly two seconds. I suggest you take this time to pray.

You know, I didn't expect Earth being literally translated would work but that last line not just matches the energy of saying Planet Earth but also feels natural. It just works.
a shield to dissipate kinetic damage would only work up so such an amount. anything traveling at or near relativistic speeds would punch through a star so shielding of any kind probably wouldn't suffice.
Heck mathematically if u threw a rock fast enough u could mess w a black hole I think... shit I'm a physicist and engineer now I gotta go run the numbers... I'll attach a blog post when I'm done.
@@DaxSudo ...you don't even need to run the numbers F = G(m1m2)/R2 is a well known formula that's used in high school. A very small rock, thrown by a human, will move a blackhole a rather infinitely small amount, but it will. Its why (very small) things can escape the event horizon very occasionally.
@@jakobrosenqvist4691 exactly, its why we would never move away from MAC's once we have them. why adopt a new weapon when this one works in every situation.
@@DaxSudono, it wouldn't. At this point we've observed enough black hole mergers to know that. When non black hole bodies collide, they may ripple and shatter, throwing out material and so on. Black holes... Don't. When black holes merge, it happens instantly the moment the two touch, and instead of 2 black holes orbiting each other with their surfaces touching, you instantly have a new black hole with a mass slightly lower than the total of the 2 initial black holes. The reason the mass is lower is because that lost mass is what fuels the absolutely UNIVERSE shaking forces required to create gravitational waves. Unless by "affect" you mean "nudge slightly", in which case, yes, probably.

I enjoy most of these SciFi stories, but many authors share a common issue: they have no concept of numbers. So many write of millions or billions of FTL ships, without understanding such numbers. To put it into some sort of perspective, one million seconds is the equivalent of about 11.5 days. One billion seconds about the equivalent of 31.7 years.
You can tell when a writer doesn't know much about military history when they have the enemy super weapon be a massive ship, worked out super well for the Bismark, Yamato, and Musashi. Hell aircraft carriers need to have a support group of around 20 additional ships to not fall victim to this kind of thing. Super heavy battle tanks were also not traditionally as effective as medium tanks in world war 2 and the Toyota Hilux has proven to be a more effective war machine in recent decades. Look up the Toyota war if you don't believe me, some absolute chads took on the Libyan army with some Toyota Hilux's and won.
Then again, this is an alien civilization, so they probably don't have the same ideas when it comes to unit types and formations. The planet-ship did also have an "escort". It just happens that the support group was stationed *on top* of what they were meant to protect, instead of flying cover for it. Lastly, it's clear their strategy was sound...against enemies not used to hurling rocks of various sizes. If the humans hadn't been there, they would have won. Their strategy and doctrine just wasn't designed to account for humans. It's easy to point and critizise someone's decisions, and mention history. Bismark and Tirpitz were good ships, and to a degree succeeded in their purpose. Bismark was such a threat that the Royal Navy dedicated a substantial amount of resources to hunting it down. And even then, it took a lot to actually sink her. Tirpitz was a constant potential threat, despite being hidden up in the fjords. And again it took a lot to sink her.
I have to point out that the Bismark, Yamato and Musashi did not fight what they where designed to do. All 3 where effectively sunk or disabled though air power when they where designed to fight other capital ships in gun duels. There where 9 battles where gun capital ships engaged each other none of them involved the Yamato or the Musashi. Of those battles the Bismark was engaged in 2, One with hood (which it won) and one with King George (which it lost). I have to point out that the bismark was also not anywhere near the level of Yamato and was instead a slightly better then the comparable ships in the United kingdoms navy. In the battle where humans aimed rocks at 10% the speed of light from a asteroid belt there is so much more wrong with the battle then one supper ship (which sounds like its a converted homeworld).
@@ghosteyes2034 That would still be an inaccurate translation. We named the dirt and rocks after our planet, as they are parts of it. That would be reflected in translations. "Earth" would not translate into "dirt".

Until you’re throwing 200$ custom rocks at 10000 rocks per minute. Costing you 400000$ every 12 seconds.
If throwing a rock didn't solve or remove your problem you either didn't throw a big enough rock or you didn't throw it fast enough.
Or you didn't throw enough
In military. Rock always beats flesh.
You should have brought the whole clan, 30 rocks at once is exponentially better than 1 rock 30 times.
Or your rock was to light
History of humanity in a nutshell. Throwing rocks and burning shit. Sometimes together.
But the rocks humanity burned were most often special rocks.
Some would even say funny rocks that did funny things.
Add making water boil to the list. Our history of power generation is mostly making water boil.

A nice sturdy rock. There are worse goals out there.

A very small rock, thrown by a human, will move a blackhole a rather infinitely small amount, but it will. Its why (very small) things can escape the event horizon very occasionally.
And even if the shields don't fail, preservation of momentum is still a thing so the ship has to somehow absorb all that momentum.

Yup, relativistic kill missile, the only thing that can bring more energy on target than its own R0 (apart from photons of course).

Honestly this Is very true the entirety of human history is rock. Throw rock, make better thrown rock or make something to stop rock.
Well, that plan rocked
This author is well worth checking out over on reddit. Really nice work on the narration NN 👍
For a moment, I thoight the entire human race were earthbenders.
In a way, yes
No it's just history. Human throw rock
We have refine our rock throwing skill since we first hunt

monkey throw rock, monkey break
A few aliens think they can outsmart us… maybe.
We still want to meet someone that can outsmart a rock.
Maybe that's why no aliens have invaded yet. They be thinking, these apes toss rocks and chuck spears and they have an asteroid belt.
Boy, remember that we responded to call of aid when nobody else would. Don’t put us down.
