"Sir, what should we do with these energy orbs? Leaving them exposed like this for so long isn't good. If the Fish Horse Star Civilization finds out, they'll definitely come and take some of them—those vampires!"
"Okay, have the fleet load them. Remember, load one ship at a time, then load the next. First, mobilize the idle transport ships, and once they're full, use our Star System Level warships to load the excess. Finally, use the Small Star Region warships to load them."
"My lord, the transport ships have been constantly busy, traveling between planets to transport materials for building Small Star Region warships. I'm afraid we can't gather many more. Moreover, our two types of warships don't have much redundant space in their design. Even if we brought all the warships here, we still wouldn't be able to fit so many energy spheres."
"In this way, we will divide the energy sphere into several parts and place them in the space surrounding our territory. We must ensure that there are no inhabited planets within the attack range of these things, and at the same time, we must build an electromagnetic shielding system."
"Sir, is it really necessary to be so careful?"
"No amount of caution is excessive, Bi Cha. You're a high-ranking officer now. From now on, you must consider every situation thoroughly and be extremely careful, otherwise you might lose your life at best, or even affect the entire civilization at worst."
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I will be very careful Bi Cha."
"Go and do it."
Under Bi Cha's command, the two giant energy spheres were reorganized into 20 smaller composites, which were then carried by the warship into the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization. At the edge of the territory, there were two or three energy spheres between every two planetary systems.
" Old Hu, there's movement! There's movement!" Wen Zhonghua shouted excitedly.
" Xuan Star Civilization?!"
"Yes, look at the images just transmitted back by the miniature spaceship. The energy sphere has been divided and evenly placed between two planetary systems on the edge, divided into eight parts. It's truly a stroke of luck! I was worried they would take the energy sphere to the center of their territory."
"Quickly, notify Academician Zeng and the others!"
"We've already notified them; they're on their way."
" Old Hu, Laozi 've waited for over two hundred years, and finally, my hard work has paid off! I've finally gotten what I've been waiting for."
"You've finally gotten your chance. You've asked me over ten thousand times in the past two hundred years; my ears are practically calloused."
"General, is there any progress on the plan?" As they spoke, Academician Zeng and Academician Liu arrived.
"Yes, Academician, look, the energy sphere has been cut into 20 small pieces, like half a necklace, and carried across the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization, stretching for over a hundred light-years."
"That's great! More relays will make the vortex effect even better."
"Academician, what do we do now?"
"The miniature spaceship can now activate miniature gravity bombs, generating a series of subtle gravitational waves that detonate these energy spheres in sequence. The energy spheres explode in a directed manner, impacting this space, and the subsequent explosions, combined with the power of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, cause this space to rotate. In a short time, its rotational speed can exceed the speed of light."
"Short time? How short?" Wen Zhonghua asked.
"The Chief of the General Staff can calculate it himself. The spatial velocity at this location of the Milky Way is approximately 220 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to this much acceleration. Adding the impact velocity of the energy ball explosion, the acceleration will be enormous. Although the initial acceleration may not be this great, I estimate that it should take no more than ten days to accelerate to the speed of light."
Ten days? That's fast!
"However, ten days is just the beginning. You have to understand that this is more energy than the explosion of 20 stars. It will take about 300 years to form a complete spatial vortex. Then the spatial vortex will slowly slow down and disappear after a few hundred or a few thousand years."
"Wouldn't it be just right for our fleet to set off now, or even a little too late?"
"Yes, within ten days, the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization will be affected by spatial distortion, but it won't be too serious. Only the outer space will begin to rotate and distort, but it will still be enough to affect the engines. Try to fight on the outer perimeter. If our fleet gets there now, the Xuan Star Civilization simply won't have enough time to move so many inhabited planets out. At most, they can only take some elites with them. What they do next depends on the Xuan Star Civilization's choice."
"The main planet of the Xuan Star Civilization is definitely in the center of their territory. Even at their fastest speed, it would take them more than 12 days to fly out of their territory. If space deforms, even if they can use warp drives, their speed will be greatly reduced. Such a large area would take at least one or two years to fly out. If we want to relocate most of the population, we would have to do nothing. The Grim Slayer Fleet can arrive in just a year and a half," Hu Yu said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get moving! I've been holding back for years!"
One after another, miniature spaceships hidden on several planets on the edge of the Xuan Star Civilization activated their warp engines, rapidly approaching the airspace near the energy sphere and releasing gravity bombs. The explosions of these miniature gravity bombs were like firecrackers thrown into water, completely failing to attract the attention of the Xuan Star Civilization. Even the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet failed to detect the existence of the miniature spaceships. This is understandable, given the countless spacecraft within the Xuan Star Civilization's territory; it's normal to occasionally find some fragments or abandoned objects.
The gravitational wave traveled at the speed of light, and soon the first gravitational wave reached the nearest energy sphere. The energy sphere disappeared instantly, like a pile of gunpowder meeting Mars. There was no sound or light, only violent deformation of space and the explosion of the surrounding Xuan Star Civilization's warships.
As the energy spheres continued to explode, the entire space surrounding the Xuan Star Civilization changed. These energy spheres were transformed from the mass of 20 Sun. The high-speed energy quickly caused the entire space to move at an angle, just like water being stirred in a water tank.
Because the Xuan Star Civilization's territory contained over 100 stars and over 1,000 planets, they connected the entire space together, just as gravity binds these celestial bodies together. As one side began to rotate, it propelled the other side to accelerate as well, and the rudimentary form of a spatial vortex was born. It took humanity over 2,500 years, involving over 30 billion people and countless trillions of hours, to complete this monumental task.
" Feng Long, how could this happen?" On a beautiful planet in the center of the Xuan Star Civilization's territory, the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization was extremely angry.
"Chief, it was my oversight; I am a sinner against civilization."
"Stop with the nonsense, let's get to what we need to do now!"
"Humanity has far exceeded our expectations, Your Majesty. The space vortex is now taking shape. We are still safe at the center, but hundreds of planets and tens of billions of people on the periphery are gone."
I know these things better than you do!
"Chief, once the vortex is created, we cannot stop it. The human fleet is definitely on its way. You should lead a portion of your people away. Humans have no power to stop you from leaving; they are simply seeking revenge against us. I will stay and fight them to atone for my sins."
"Chief, why not seek help from the Fish Horse Star Civilization?" suggested Bi Cha.
