“No!”
Dugo shook his head, “There are fleets from seven civilizations here. If they are destroyed like this, we won’t be able to track their home star systems. 1’11 be held accountable, possibly face military court. Even my family, the Du’s, can’t save me!”
The deputy officer knew these concerns as well, but his anger had led him to make such rash suggestions.
After listening, he wore a regretful expression and asked, “Commander, what should we do?!”
“We can only wait for the indigenous civilization to be destroyed. Only then will the fleets of the other six civilizations leave sooner…”
Dugo furrowed his brows and asked, “Do you know of any method that can destroy the neighboring star system without raising their suspicions?”
The deputy officer began to ponder, muttering several attack methods, but all were impossible — either there wasn’t enough time, or it required a wormhole jump.
Dugo sighed deeply.
“This could have been the achievement of destroying seven civilizations!!!”
Deep down, he was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
However, there was no choice. The Du family was not a top power in the Modou civilization. He didn’t believe that the Du family had not exerted its power before the decision to replace him was made.
They surely couldn’t resist the pressure and managed to buy him only a month.
“Commander, a battleship over 50 kilometers long in the neighboring star system has disappeared…”
Colonel Chu’s face grew serious, “It seems it has traveled through a wormhole, coming towards our solar system…”
“This battleship, distinctly different from other large motherships, I suspect it might be some kind of advanced battleship, or a superweapon battleship…”
This was beyond his expectations. Logically, the other party should have probed a few more times.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, “The thinking of alien civilizations may not be the same as ours. It’s normal to have such a situation. Is our wormhole defense line redeployed?”
“It’s ready. Just in case, I’ve also sent a fleet…”
Although the gravitational wave detector could only detect the disappearance of the 50-kilometer-long battleship.
Who knew how many battleships came through the wormhole together?
If the other party is stubborn and sends all their battleships at once, it would be hard to handle.
Zhao Yu had barely left the command room all day, fearing unexpected changes.
Fortunately, for an entire day, the opponent did not send any battleships in advance to clear the field, seemingly very confident in that large battleship.
Finally, after a day of waiting, the large battleship finally appeared.
Zhao Yu stood at a watchtower on top of the base, using a high-powered telescope to peer towards the nearby wormhole.
“Huh?!”
Looking at the brightly colored and exceptionally dazzling battleship appearing alone, he was a bit puzzled.
Normal battleships were mainly black, a few were silver. He had never seen one with such vibrant colors before.
In the scene, lasers from the wormhole defense line started to fire en masse.
Just as Zhao Yu was wondering how this strange battleship would retaliate, a familiar scene happened.
“Whoosh!”
A miniature black hole appeared, and the brightly colored large battleship was swallowed up in a blink.
The opponent had directly initiated particle black hole collapse.
“Could it be, this battleship carried a Type IV particle black hole, causing immense destruction?!”
Zhao Yu never forgot, the mother ship of the Moro fleet, owned a very powerful type of mother ship.
Gravitational waves spread rapidly, quickly reaching the entire wormhole defense line and support battleships not far behind the line.
As usual, these defensive structures were instantly destroyed.
However, Zhao Yu’s gaze was fixated on the second line of defense, wondering if the gravitational wave would expand further.
To his relief, the result was not similar to his expectation.
The gravitational wave only spread 500,000 kilometers before gradually disappearing. This indicated that the strange battleship carried only a conventional particle black hole collapse bomb.
At this point, Colonel Chu came up with a complex expression.
“Commander, I think I know why the enemy sent this battleship here…”
The battleship just exploded, from the control room to the watchtower was only a short time, had Colonel Chu not been observing all along?
Zhao Yu couldn’t help being curious, “How so?!”
“I felt something was wrong when 1 saw that the enemy only sent this one battleship. I came here as quickly as I could…”
Colonel Chu shook his head, “They sent this battleship, obviously wanting to observe its condition through the gravitational wave detector.”
“They want to figure out whether the previous waves of battleships were trapped or destroyed…”
“I see…”
Zhao Yu frowned slightly. According to Colonel Chu’s plan, it would take the enemy at least three months, possibly a year, to figure this out.
“Could this delay our timeline?!”
“Yes…”
Colonel Chu pursed his lips, but quickly said: “We can find other ways to buy more time…”
Thinking about the response from Uncle Da, Zhao Yu said: “The mainframe on the moon base has been tested. It can calculate the star maps in the billions, but there will be large gaps, not completely accurate. As a result, we still cannot be sure if the light needle can successfully reach the neighboring star system…”
“Having a way is better than having none, being able to draw a rough star map
can help us avoid some obstacles…”
