Surging Power

The brilliance of Blue Giant Star serves as excellent concealment, making it difficult to observe humans directly from outside the galaxy, even though they are located on planets very far away.

If it weren't for knowing the orbit of the planet where the human Residential Spaceship are located, the Lyra warship cluster would need to get close to about an Astronomical Unit to detect the Residential Spaceship Cluster, which speaks volumes about its stealth capabilities.

This Blue Giant Star has only three planets. Although they are all Rocky Planet, the two planets in the first and second orbits are too close to the Main Sequence Star, so their surface temperature remains around 600 degrees Celsius all year round. Moreover, they rotate very quickly, and before they can cool down at night, they are exposed to the Blue Giant Star again.

This distant Third Planet is relatively cool, with a calm surface temperature maintained at around -103 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it was used as a temporary residence by humans in the past. Over the centuries, this planet has been developed into a veritable Space Base by Strong Artificial Intelligence.

As you can see, there are various raw material processing plants, chemical plants and other functional buildings standing tall. Some of them were built on the original mining sites, while most were concentrated near the ground and air transportation platforms. They form a huge ground fortress and city cluster.

Of course, these so-called urban clusters have no residential bases, nor secondary, tertiary, or finished product processing plants, because all of these things are in space.

Humans did not go to other planets to hibernate back then; instead, they slept and took turns on duty on their respective Residential Spaceship.

For this reason, Strong Artificial Intelligence did not build any defensive forces on this planet; there were none at all, including land-based turrets, base Polarization Shield, or Magnetic Shield.

Conversely, the situation in space is quite different. Over the past few centuries, Strong Artificial Intelligence has been engaged in maintaining the normal operation of human spaceship clusters and building warships.

When the Lyra left, it didn't actually leave behind many warships, but after hundreds of years of development, the defensive capabilities here have undergone tremendous changes.

The daily maintenance and normal operation of the Residential Spaceship do not require much resources and energy, so the resources that the Strong Artificial Intelligence extracts from the planet are mainly used to build warships.

Lyra warship cluster slowly approached, the results became apparent. Beyond the orbit of their original Residential Spaceship, groups of gleaming silver warships floated, each Sea-Class vessel, with a rough count of at least 80 million ships.

To build these warships, the Strong Artificial Intelligence hollowed out both of the planet's moons.

With these warships plus those brought by the Lyra, humanity suddenly possessed approximately 120 million warships. This was the result of accumulated time, and also a manifestation of the massive troop production capabilities of Strong Artificial Intelligence.

The humans Residential Spaceship were awakened, one by one waking from their slumber to greet their triumphant fleet.

In their minds, their leader had only been away on campaign for a few years before returning—those were the years he spent in hibernation. But for the universe, centuries had passed.

Upon waking, the people received news of the fleet's victory, which thrilled them greatly. Some were even so excited that they were shouting Yue Yuan's name.

At that moment, Yue Yuan became the invincible leader in the hearts of these people. Of course, this was just a little bit of idol worship from some overly enthusiastic individuals.

The Lyra finally returned to the embrace of the Main Civilization. At this moment, Yue Yuan was also very excited, but he did not shout or make a fuss. He simply stood quietly by the porthole as the Lyra slowly approached the orbit of the Civilization Main Body, gazing at the lonely Blue Giant Star shining brightly seventy Astronomical Unit away.

When Yue Yuan left, the human Residential Spaceship Cluster numbered less than 20,000. Including other Engineering Ship, engineering spaceships, ecosphere spaceships, dedicated transport ships, Space Dock, etc., the total number was only a few hundred thousand, which was insignificant in the face of a massive number of warships.

Now that he's back, there are more Residential Spaceship, increasing from 20,000 to 100,000, but due to hibernation, the population hasn't changed much. Other types of ships have expanded several times over, especially industrial, production, and dock types, which have seen the largest increase in numbers due to the need for warship manufacturing.

Basically, it has reached the order of five million ships of each type.

Of course, the numbers have been released, but many of the spaceships are actually idle, just like the newly built Residential Spaceship, which is to reserve space for future development.

These are all very good, especially the development of the fleet.

After the merger, humanity possessed 120 million warships, which was already a considerable number. However, based on the experience gained from the war with the Crimson Flame Civilization, humanity still needed to develop other types of warships, such as Sea-Class motherships, Assault Ship, and Engineering Repair Ship.

Since there were no previous orders to adjust the fleet structure, the Strong Artificial Intelligence here is mainly producing Sea-Class Main Battleship. Of course, this is not a big deal, as it can be adjusted over some time.

While Yue Yuan was silently gazing at the Blue Giant Star, another life form was also looking out from the porthole of his spaceship. However, he wasn't looking at the Blue Giant Star, but rather at the massive number of human warships.

He was the new leader of the Crimson Flame Civilization. Looking at the cluster of warships sailing in the distance, he took a deep breath of the atmosphere necessary for the survival of individual members of the Crimson Flame Civilization. He was deeply shocked and filled with emotion.

"Is this the core of Earth's civilization? There's such a powerful force here. If we were to wage war against such a civilization, our defeat would be justified," the new leader thought to himself.

During his time awake, he learned that humanity is essentially a Wandering Civilization, and that humanity has the ability to create Strong Artificial Intelligence.

Now he deeply realized that no matter how hard the Crimson Flame Civilization fought against a civilization with the ability to create Strong Artificial Intelligence, it would never be able to win. Even if it won a few wars with its superior combat power, as long as it let one of the Strong Artificial Intelligence escape, this civilization could once again possess a massive number of warships in a short period of time.

"One hundred and twenty million warships! Without Strong Artificial Intelligence, how many soldiers would it take to get them all operational? Strong Artificial Intelligence, Strong Artificial Intelligence! This Earth civilization uses Strong Artificial Intelligence so confidently; they must have already found a way to prevent it from rebelling. It's unbelievable that they actually found a way!" The new leader of the Crimson Flame Civilization was filled with emotion. He knew that his people were definitely not going to escape. Now, his only hope was that the Earth civilization would keep its promise and treat them, these Alien Race, kindly.
