After receiving intelligence from Bulog, Oyin immediately began mobilizing all combat personnel throughout the Group.
By now, the Gigantic Shipyard had been operational for a week, and a steady stream of Warships was rushing from Rigel to assemble in the Solar System.
The sight left the inexperienced Earthlings increasingly awestruck. At the same time, fueled by propaganda and reality alike, they grew ever prouder of the Osborn Group's strength.
Due to an error during Black Hole transit, the Hyacinth had appeared directly in the Gama Cygni system, 1,410 light-years from Earth, rather than near the Otter Nebula as previously believed.
The location where Bulog had discovered the Thanos Fleet was in a star system forty-nine light-years away from it. According to their description, Thanos's fleet had recovered its strength and grown even larger in scale.
Several details in Bulog's report deserved close attention:
First, Thanos's fleet seemingly had not used any known Jump Points for interstellar travel—something that could also be inferred from the recent battle reports submitted by the privateer pirates.
Thanos's supply lines had long suffered pirate harassment, and in the beginning, the Sweepers had seized a large batch of Celestial corpse materials. But after that, the valuable items aboard the transport ships had dwindled.
The privateer forces could only seize relatively cheap industrial goods. Though the quantities were considerable, they clearly would not truly affect the rebuilding of the Thanos Fleet.
In other words, they had likely developed some new method of interstellar travel—most likely by using the Reality Stone to alter certain routes.
That also corresponded with the recent spate of interstellar travel accidents.
Second, a large portion of the collected data was missing. The Thanos Fleet seemed to be surrounded by a ring of mosaic distortion, rendering some conventional exploration methods completely ineffective.
