In the 150th year of JD6, Academician Liu, after thoroughly analyzing the Space Cage and Space Barrier of the Xuan Star Civilization, finally overcame the Space Shockwave technology, which took 200 years, much earlier than Hu Yu's expected 500 years.
A target ship came to a steady stop in the starry sky. The energy of the test ship surged, and before the brain could react, Space Shockwave reached the target ship. The target ship, which had been in a regular shape, was transformed into a crumpled mess.
The second target ship entered the fray. This target ship was the Grim Slayer, equipped with Reversed State Armor. The Space Shockwave continued to attack, and as expected, the target ship remained unharmed.
"General, we can't pierce our own shield and spear," Academician Liu said awkwardly.
"Haha, Academician Liu, whether or not we can break through it, you created both the spear and the shield. But right now, I'd rather your spear be even more powerful."
"General, this is all we can do for now. Using this shockwave, destroying the Xuan Star Civilization's warships shouldn't be a problem, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the energy consumption is extremely high, General. I've discovered that any form of spatial attack consumes an incredibly high amount of energy. If war breaks out, even if the Grim Slayer enter the war fully charged, they would probably only be able to last for about 5 years."
"So big? This thing consumes about the same amount of energy as a warship performing full-speed warp drive."
"Yes, the stronger the spatial attack, the more energy it consumes."
"It seems we can only make the Grim Slayer a bit bigger, with more energy capacity. Now that we have the Reversed State Armor, we can save a lot of materials, and the warship can be lighter too. Anyway, we have time now, so we can take it slow. Now that the testing is mature, we can start producing the new Grim Slayer warships."
"General, if there is no war for the time being, I hope we can wait a little longer."
"Are there other space weapons?"
"No, I'm planning to combine the previous long-range laser's rotating space and Space Shockwave to increase the power of the Space Shockwave and make the fluctuating space rotate. Previously, we only used simple space compression to release the energy, which was very limited in power, so we had to rely on the energy of the laser. The current shockwave is far superior to this kind of compressed projectile attack, but it doesn't have the ability to travel faster than light. So I want to combine the two methods to have both the ability to travel faster than light and the powerful force of the shockwave."
"Indeed, the student surpasses the teacher. It is our honor to have such outstanding scientists as you who work so hard and dedicate yourselves selflessly."
"General, we scientists are one of us too."
"Haha, indeed, we shouldn't be so divided. Everyone is working hard for the fleet. Fleet production can wait a bit. We currently have 200 million Grim Slayer, which is barely enough. Plus, the production process for the Reversed State Armor is relatively slow, so waiting a little longer for the warships won't make a big difference."
Once the space attack technology is equipped with the Grim Slayer, and with the already advanced travel speed, the fleet will finally be considered to have entered the Small Star Sector Civilization. The next thing to do is to accumulate enough power. The number of warships, the number of people, and the number of weapons must be continuously increased, the more the better, with no upper limit.
However, none of this can be accomplished in a short period of time; it can only be achieved through gradual accumulation over time. Hu Yu does not intend to work overtime to complete this accumulation; a step-by-step approach is the only way to achieve long-term success.
The inhabitants of the four planets have finally found complete leisure in recent years. There is no work for them to do; everything is done by intelligent machines coordinated by computers. Only a very small number of staff occasionally check the work progress or assist robots in maintaining the equipment.
However, people did not completely indulge themselves. Most of them spent some time every day learning the latest technologies. The current technology tree is so vast that it is daunting. No one can fully learn all of these technologies, so a large number of people are needed to digest them together.
As civilization progresses, the technology tree will continue to expand, and its branches will become increasingly specialized, requiring more and more scientists. Without a sufficient population, it would be impossible to support the proliferation of such a vast technology tree.
In a nearby planetary system, hundreds of planets have been moved together to orbit the same planet. Countless robots are busy on these planets, not only manufacturing various machines and equipment and the robots themselves, but also providing food, clothing, shelter, and transportation for billions of people. All preparations are for the future of the fleet.
Two massive stars were also moved to a location between JD6 and the base planetary system. The energy conversion equipment had been working for over a hundred years, and the starry sky was once again filled with energy spheres that had been simply sealed and had not been transferred.
Everything was proceeding smoothly. Three hundred light-years away, a spaceship headed towards Hu Yu's base and soon arrived near the edge of the Grim Slayer's defensive perimeter.
Hu Yu was not surprised by the arrival of this spaceship. His satellite equipment had already been deployed 500 light-years away. Within this vast three-dimensional space, there were five Stellar-Level Civilization and one Star System-Level Civilization. This area belonged to the densely populated civilization zone of the Milky Way, which was actually the middle region between the galactic center and the edge. This zone was more suitable for the survival and development of civilizations.
Finding a planetary system with no other civilizations within hundreds of light-years is virtually impossible, unless one, like the Mu Star Civilization civilization which raised Insect Race planets, wiped out all surrounding civilizations. Traveling anywhere in the Milky Way for tens or hundreds of light-years might lead to encountering a civilization, though most would be Planetary-Level Civilization.
The fleet is now not sailing, but residing. Within a radius of 500 light-years, there are hundreds of thousands of stars above, below, left, right, in front, and behind, tens of thousands of which have planets. Naturally, the number of civilizations is not small, especially Planetary-Level Civilization. In the Milky Way, the fate of Planetary-Level Civilization is the most fragile, and they may be wiped out at any time by the activities of other civilizations. However, new Planetary-Level Civilization also evolve quickly.
Only after reaching the Star-Level and gaining interstellar travel capabilities will they begin to explore the universe. If there are powerful civilizations nearby, they will often move away and find another planet to settle on. From Planet-Level to Star-Level, any civilization with even a little potential can take this step in a short period of time.
When Hu Yu first arrived at JD6, he passed through the territory of this Star System-Level Civilization. There were also reconnaissance devices of this Star System-Level Civilization near JD6. Hu Yu stopped there and destroyed their reconnaissance devices. He originally thought they would relocate to another planetary system, but he never expected that they would come back 200 years later.
