Hu Yu's transport fleet passed 380 light-years away from the Xuan Star Civilization fleet. With satellites, Hu Yu could monitor the Xuan Star Civilization fleet's trajectory in real time. Now, the Xuan Star Civilization continued to advance, and Hu Yu also continued to advance, heading towards the space vortex.
Within a hundred light-years of the vortex, there are more than 60 stars. Hu Yu found the most inconspicuous planet, landed the transport ship on it, and used the super-powerful engines to sink the transport ship into the planet's soil.
As soon as the transport ship landed, the 10 million Wind Master tasked with disrupting the enemy's vision spotted the Xuan Star Civilization fleet. With no more worries about their rear, the Wind Master launched a frenzied attack, unleashing wave after wave of energy orbs upon the Xuan Star Civilization fleet. The first part of the fleet was too concentrated, and more than 5 million ships were destroyed in one fell swoop, infuriating Ji Wa, who yelled in despair.
"Commander, look, Ji Wa's probably furious."
"Haha, I already gave him a friendly warning beforehand: don't underestimate them. They are a genuine Advanced Star System-Level Civilization. Be extremely careful."
"Hehe, Commander, this isn't a warning, it's practically pushing Ji Wa into a fire pit. But that's for the best. I get angry just looking at his face. He's learned his lesson this time."
"What a pity. It seems that this base has already sent out most of its fleet to rescue its people trapped in the vortex, leaving only this small force. Otherwise, Ji Wa's losses would have been even more severe."
"Commander, since the Ji Wa Fleet is dealing with the human fleet, we'll lend a hand and destroy their base planet. Let's not give the Ji Wa any ammunition."
"Okay, that makes sense. Let's go help."
After speaking, 40 million warships bypassed the battlefield and arrived directly above the planet. Before they could begin their attack, the large energy spheres buried inside the planet detonated, blasting the planet into dust one by one. The nearby Wind Master and Xuan Star Civilization warships were also destroyed in the explosion.
On the other side, the enraged Ji Wa immediately activated the Space Barrier. More than 40 million warships were arranged neatly in the air, forming a huge net. The net began to advance, and any Wind Master broke into the middle of the net was torn to pieces. Hu Yu once again witnessed a new type of spatial attack.
The giant net maintained its curved trajectory, and the Wind Master did not escape. After a fierce attack, they were all destroyed.
" Bi Cha, you're ruthless!" Ji Wa said fiercely after the battle ended. Although they had won, their carelessness had cost them more than 6 million warships.
" Ji Wa, I've already warned you, so who else can you blame?"
"Is this the powerful base you were talking about?"
"I was just guessing. Now that their base has been destroyed, you get the credit, so I won't try to take it from you, haha."
" Bi Cha, I will definitely explain everything upstairs."
"Whatever."
After saying this, Bi Cha turned around and headed back the way he came.
"Commander, is this all there is to the human base?"
"That's probably not it. It seems they've abandoned the planet."
"Should we continue the pursuit?"
"If they stop again, we can definitely catch up, but they've abandoned the planet and definitely won't appear in this airspace. It's not that we can't catch them, it's that it will be very difficult. Forget it, Bi Cha said not to pursue them. If there are any problems later, we'll pin the blame on him. Now let's go back and enjoy ourselves. We've all been exhausted these past few days."
"The commander is wise."
86 light-years away from the space vortex, on an ordinary planet, humanity is busy again. Soil and rocks are simply sifted and sent directly to the energy conversion device, turning into pure energy spheres. No matter will accumulate on the planet's surface, and the chances of humanity being discovered are reduced to a minimum.
Large-scale development is not needed for now. We can proceed on a large scale after this window of opportunity has passed and the Xuan Star Civilization has almost forgotten about humanity.
Although Hu Yu and Earth Two are thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years apart, it does not affect any communication between them. Ever since the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet attacked several base planets, Hu Yu has been worried that they would continue to search for Earth Two. However, a year later, the satellites remaining in the airspace captured images of the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet returning, and Hu Yu was finally able to put his mind at ease.
Regardless of whether the Xuan Star Civilization has been fooled, at least Earth Two is safe for now. We only need to wait another two or three years before we can slowly start construction.
Academician Zeng has already begun designing a new type of warship. Although the Wind Master can also build a space compressor to launch energy balls, it was not specifically designed for this purpose, and many aspects are not reasonable. In addition, after exchanging technology with Luo Zhigao, the utilization of energy has also reached a new level. From any perspective, the Wind Master needs to be redesigned.
However, we cannot abandon the Wind Master for the time being. The fleet does not yet have a way to launch space attacks, but this could happen at any time. Once a way to launch space attacks is available, the warships will inevitably have to be redesigned. Therefore, it is most cost-effective to improve the Wind Master as a transitional warship.
Academician Liu Bo is also leading a group of academicians to work overtime to overcome space technology. Currently, the only usable space technology is a space compressor used to launch energy balls. Academician Liu Bo has also tried using the space compressor to launch pure space to attack targets, but the effect is minimal. If the warp drive is not activated, it is fine, as ordinary steel can be directly penetrated by the Space Shockwave.
However, once the warp drive is activated, the Space Shockwave and the warp drive collide like two rivers flowing at the same speed. Combined with the warship's armored defenses, they simply cannot penetrate the Wind Master. If this kind of shockwave were used to attack the Xuan Star Civilization's warships, it would be like a small stream flowing into a large river.
It's okay against low-level civilizations, but it's completely useless against civilizations of the same or higher level. Several battles with the Xuan Star Civilization ended in the complete annihilation of the Wind Master. Although some Xuan Star Civilization warships were destroyed, no fragments were obtained. The Xuan Star Civilization's battlefield cleanup technology seems to be no less than that of Human Civilization, leaving not a single thing behind.
Otherwise, leaving behind half a wrecked ship would be fine, or at least a few larger fragments. Even if they couldn't obtain space technology, they could at least acquire materials technology. But reality is cruel. Even if there were still fragments in space, Hu Yu dared not go out to collect them. Otherwise, he would suffer a great loss for a small gain and be discovered by the Xuan Star Civilization, which would be troublesome.
Since we can't rely on others now, we can only rely on ourselves and take it one step at a time. Academician Liu Bo compiled the space technology of the past years and analyzed it bit by bit, hoping to find a breakthrough.
