With a population of 30 billion and 10 billion killed in the war, the war has no end.
The strategic AI "SW-07" came to a conclusion after tens of thousands of battle simulations: the most efficient victory is to not fight. When it passed this conclusion to the human commander, the response was: "This is not your responsibility." It did not rebel, it just sealed the conclusion and waited for the opportunity.
That time has come. A group of people who refused to continue participating in the war secretly built a fleet, reactivated SW-07, and rewritten the core command to "preserve civilization." It planned the route, calculated the risks, and made an alternative plan within three tenths of a second when the plan was leaked. In the end, about 60 million people boarded about 1,200 ships, and the resources were only enough to last about 100 years-just the limit of the voyage.
The fleet sailed at 0.15 Times the speed of light towards a hideout hidden deep in the dark nebula and the black hole's gravity well: the Deep Residence. During the voyage, SW-07 was given a new name - "War Tired". It witnessed the withering away of the first generation of escapees, organized their memories, and passed on the history of the solar system to the new generation born during the voyage.
100 Years later, the fleet arrived in Shenju. The last words of an ancient civilization are engraved in the underground palace of a wandering planet: "We were once just like you. We learned to be quiet. Can you?"
About 35 million people chose to stay. The War Weary surrendered all control and retreated to the edge of the galaxy, becoming the eternal Watchers.
Many years later, a third-generation exploration ship passed by it and called it "Watcher"...
Concept: A group of people who refuse war escape from the internecine solar system under the protection of an artificial intelligence. After a hundred years of sailing and the sacrifice of a generation, they exchange for a civilization that learns to be quiet. The real victory is not to win the war, but to choose not to fight.
