"Initially, I was indeed drawn to their technology, but later I discovered that the Xuan Star Civilization might be hiding many secrets, secrets that could be related to humanity."
"I've heard Uncle Zhonghua mention some things, Dad. Why does the Xuan Star Civilization raise humans to feed the Insect Race? How come there are other humans in this universe?"
"I don't know, so I want to destroy the Xuan Star Civilization and find its secrets."
"Don't be discouraged, Dad. It's not a big deal. Compared to other civilizations, we've developed very quickly."
"Well, actually, Academician Zeng have already found a way to create spatial vortexes, but they just can't send them into the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization. It's still a kind of gain, because we can create spatial vortexes in the future when we encounter wars or other situations."
"What method? Dad, tell me quickly!"
"Actually, no. Academician Zeng said that if they converted 20 stars the size of the Sun into energy spheres and sent them to the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization Xuan Star Civilization, they could increase the spatial density on one side of the territory, causing different flow velocities on both sides and forming vortices. However, the energy spheres converted from 20 stars would be as big as 20 Earths, making it impossible to send them into the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"What's so difficult about that!"
"Stop bragging. You think you're better than Academician Zeng and the others?"
"Of course I'm not as good as Academician Zeng, but Academician Zeng and his team all use technology to solve problems. Dad, you're the same. For so many years, you've been used to using technology to solve problems. You really should study the Three Kingdoms or the Art of War of War. These are a huge treasure left to us by our ancestors."
"Hey, you've gone too far, lecturing Laozi."
"My son has made progress, that's great! Here, have some fish to nourish his brain and make him a little smarter."
"Mom, give Dad more to eat; he's the one who needs to nourish his brain."
"His wooden-headed brain is wasting all the fish he eats."
"Hey, come on, tell me what's going on. If you can't give me a straight answer, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Dad, do you believe we can get the Xuan Star Civilization to move the energy ball into their territory without using any technology?"
If you keep me in suspense, I'll teach you a lesson!
"Yes, yes, no, Dad, the Xuan Star Civilization doesn't have energy balls, right? They should recognize its combat power, and they definitely want to obtain this technology, right?"
"Yes, I'm certain of that. They definitely don't have the technology of energy balls. In several battles, the combat power of energy balls exceeded their expectations, causing them significant losses."
"That works. We'll find a way to gather the energy orbs together. For example, we can build a fake base near the original one, deliberately let them discover it, steal the energy orbs, and then they can easily transport them back to their own base."
" The Xuan Star Civilization isn't stupid; they don't just transport everything into their territory, do they?"
"So, that's where the details come in. We need to make it look real, to make them believe that they took it by their own ability, not that we gave it to them. Pretty impressive, right?"
"Isn't this just a Trojan horse?"
"Yeah, you know that too."
"Of course I know, but the idea is good, so I'll give you credit for that."
"No need, you can keep it and exchange it for contribution points. Mom's new necklace isn't cheap, it seems to cost over 30 million."
"Over 30 million!!! To buy such a broken chain?"
"Yes, Mom, I've seen this necklace several times. I want to buy it, but I can't afford it."
"What a lousy chain! It looks so good on you, it suits you perfectly. It's a bit pricey, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you like it."
Xiao Xiao touched the chain, feeling both happy and annoyed. She glared at Hu Yu but said nothing. Her joy quickly overwhelmed her displeasure at Hu Yu's expense.
" Yunhang, what are you looking at this chain for? Are you going to give it to Xiao Wei? You should settle down and start a family. Xiao Wei is a good girl, don't keep dragging her along."
"Mom, Xiao Wei said we should get married when we reach the Great Star Region Civilization and all of humanity is united. That's what I think too."
"You make the decision yourself. Your father and I won't force you to do these things. It's good to focus on your career right now. Just don't let Xiao Wei down."
"I understand, don't worry. Dad, wasn't my idea great?"
"You're amazing! You've made something of yourself!"
"Of course, you can do it too. Just read more books and drink less with Uncle Zhonghua. Drinking is bad for your health."
"What? Your dad drinks a lot?"
"No, no, I was just making things up."
"Absolutely not, you know I don't drink at all."
"That seems to be true. Come on, you two finish the rest of the fish soup, don't waste it. And this egg, don't leave any, eat it."
"Okay, no problem. Madam's cooking is excellent, the taste is superb. Come on, Yunhang, you're still growing, eat more." Hu Yu glared at Hu Yunhang, sweat almost pouring down his forehead. If Xiao Xiao knew he often drank alcohol, she would definitely tear him apart.
"Dad, I can't eat anymore, I'm already full."
"Can't eat? Then eat it, or I won't be able to shut you up. Eat now!"
Watching the two men wolf down their food, Xiao Xiao felt a surge of happiness. These two men were his everything. No matter how much he suffered, just thinking of them made everything alright.
After finishing his meal, Hu Yu turned and walked towards the door.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Go to the fleet and discuss this with your Uncle Zhonghua and the others. See if your idea is feasible."
"WTF, don't you even look at the time? Uncle Zhonghua just got back. Can't we just let him have some peace and quiet? Besides, look..." Hu Yunhang pointed at Xiao Xiao.
Hu Yu turned around and saw that Xiao Xiao's eyes were practically spitting fire. He immediately turned around and sat obediently in the chair, not saying a word, preparing to wait for the storm to arrive. After a while, the storm did not come.
" Brother Yu, I understand how you feel. Defeating the Xuan Star Civilization has been your long-cherished wish for so many years, but you also need to think about everyone else. It's already past midnight, and they need to rest too, right?"
"Hmm, not bad, Madam is very sensible."
"Me? I'm just a poor, unfortunate woman, sigh."
"Madam, you are mistaken. If this were ancient times, you would be the high-ranking wife of a general, enjoying immense honor and prestige."
"You said it yourself, it's ancient times. These days, a general's wife is worse off than an ordinary person. She can't do anything all day long, and she's followed everywhere she goes. It's so annoying! The worst part is, she can't contribute any points even if she wants to buy something. Humph."
"Don't worry, madam. I've already set my account for automatic transfers. From now on, every month when I get my salary, the contribution points will be directly transferred to your account. Buy whatever you want; don't worry about saving money for us."
"Buy whatever you want? Come on, you don't even have as many contribution points as me."
"Alright, you guys continue. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed."
