At this very moment, the intelligence chief and Dilimulati, captain of the Light Pirate Regiment,
were discussing the so-called "Energy Recycling Sphere."
It was actually the Space Shelter.
The Space Shelter's main structure was a "Dyson Sphere" structure.
In reality, however, it was an even more complex Dyson Swarm structure.
This structure allowed them to directly utilize the energy of an entire planet.
Or plunder the vast majority of a star's energy.
Alien Civilizations generally referred to such highly efficient energy-plundering systems as "Energy Recycling Sphere Systems," shortened to "Energy Recycling Spheres."
Of course, different civilizations had different names for them.
But their essence was the same.
They referred to what Earth Civilization called a "Dyson Sphere" or "Dyson Swarm."
Using the most advanced anti-invisibility imaging technology,
they had actually discovered the Space Shelter while it was invisible.
If the survivors in the Space Shelter learned of this, their jaws would probably hit the floor.
"Hehehehe..."
"Big Brother, this Earth Civilization really is quite interesting. They actually managed to create something as technologically sophisticated as an 'Energy Recycling Sphere'!"
"Have we underestimated them a little?"
Looking at the photograph, Bernstein saw what appeared to be a shell with intricate internal patterns, protecting Earth—
a "Dyson Swarm" formed by the Space Shelter.
He voiced his concerns.
"Hmph..."
"It is merely a Level 1 Universe Civilization, my clever little brother."
"You should use that little brain of yours and think carefully about how much force you need to completely conquer this planet."
"And please note, my dear clever little brother, I said conquer—not destroy or annihilate."
Diliramuti deliberately emphasized it twice.
By conquest, he meant that without damaging the main architectural structures of Earth Civilization, without damaging Earth's overall ecology,
and without causing any irreversible changes to the shape of Earth's surface,
