“It’s been two days. Why hasn’t the scouting team returned yet?”
Kote was clueless about the dead silent of solar system with the aid of gravitational wave detector. The existence of defensive fortification or a warship wasn’t detected.
At this distance, the gravitational wave detector could only detect objects with massive size of 50 kilometers in diameter. Naturally, it could not determine the situation clearly if any object is lesser than the 50 kilometers in size.
Another 4 days has passed, Kote was getting a little frustrated. He simply again sent out another scouting team.
[Destroy one enemy warship. Reward: 1 Technology Point.]
[Destroy one enemy warship. Reward: 1 Technology Point.]
[..]
With ten notifications sounded in a row, Zhao Yu was smiling for the outcome.
A destroyed warship providing 1 Technology Point was indeed a good return.
As long as they destroyed enough warships, they might be able to develop their civilization to the next level soon enough.
The only concern was the fleet of the six level-2 civilizations hiding in the neighboring galaxy system was not enough scale.
While Zhao Yu was happily receiving the technology points, the second laser defense system in the base had been successfully reinstalled at the same time.
In just half a day’s time, the setup was completed.
A week later.
Near the wormhole of the neighboring star system.
“What exactly is on the other side of the wormhole?!”
“How come two of our scouting teams still not back yet?!”
Kote frowned and questioned the strategists.
“Captain, is it possible that another fleet set up a trap on the wormhole?!”
“Or perhaps, the two-star explosion was a trap from the beginning to attract us…”
Kote reconsider their words and said,” Let’s assume that there is a trap on the other side of the wormhole. Do you have a solution?!”
“Yes!”
” We can send a battleship to conduct self-destruction for wiping out any trap within 500,000 kilometers to clear a path for us.”
“The suicide squad should be send with a time interval of ten minutes ahead of the main force. With only ten minutes gap, the enemy will has insufficient time to set up another new trap…”
At this moment, someone else interrupted.” There’s no need to risk the main force. We can send a small team to check on the situation. No matter what happens, one of the battleships must be back quickly to report the situation…” Kote nodded slightly as he though it was a great idea. After discussing the details with the others, he gave the order for one warship to go first. Then, other team of thirty warships would pass through the wormhole in ten minutes.
[Destroy 10 enemy battleships. Reward: 10 Technology Points.]
The second wave of enemies arrived only a few days later.
Along with the self-destruction, the second laser defense system that Zhao Yu had set up was also taken away as planned.
” The enemy should be sending warships to clear the traps…”
Colonel Chu said confidently,” After clearance, there should be another team following closely behind. We can quickly surround them with the stationary 88th fleet at 500,000 kilometers away”
“Yes!”
Zhao Yu nodded. Colonel Chu’s predictions were correct by far. Whether the third wave of enemies was as he said, he would have to see for himself.
“However, are you sure you don’t need to install the third laser defense system?!”
” Rest assure. The third wave of battleships will definitely be battleships that clear the traps. Therefore, we only need to place a few dozen battleships near the wormhole…”
The wormhole laser defense system cost 50 million Blue Moon Dollar. This amount of money could be used to build 5,000 warships.
If the work could be done by dozens of warships, expenditure on the laser defense system should be spare.
In case Colonel Chu’s prediction was wrong, they have already prepared another two layers of defense. The enemy would not be able to leave this place. There was still room for redemption.
With Colonel Chu and the others supervise the situation at the front line, Zhao Yu returned to his room to await the next coming event.
Zhao Yu opened a message titled about Bel Comet from Uncle Da.
” Commander, eight billion humans are divided into ten thousand transport ships. On average, each transport ship has eight hundred thousand people…”
” Right now, there are fights happening on every transport ship. The total number of casualties has exceeded 100,000…”
“The temporary establishment prison can’t hold them anymore. Senator Zhou requested some entertainment for the young people to deplete their energy ?!” Zhao Yu was speechless when he saw this message.” Humans are really an energetic race…”
Although these eight billion people had left their homes and gone to Bel Comet, they had brought along sufficient supplies that were enough for them to survive for 50 years.
In the end, there were still people who couldn’t stay idle. There were always conflict every day due to jealousy.
Other than that, hatred between people break out at the same time.
Described by Uncle Da, the identities of the attacker and the victim used to have a superior-subordinate relationship or a teacher-student relationship back on Earth.
On Earth, everyone had a different social background, resulting in different behavior and logic. If there was a conflict between them, the weaker party always belongs to the disadvantage side.
However, on Bel Comet, everyone lived in a small cubicle. The food they received every day and the activity area were the same..
