The Reaper fleet has left, leaving 800 billion humans crammed onto a planet. It's obvious what will happen next: 800 billion people will die within a week from food and cold. The remaining people will face the ravages of disease, plague, natural disasters, and so on. If one out of ten thousand people survives, that would be considered a good outcome.

The scene of widespread suffering and strewn corpses is something they must bear alone. While trying to survive, they must also build their homes with their own hands. They don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Although the planetary environment is not extremely harsh, it is still quite difficult for these people who have lived in a greenhouse.

People cried helplessly, cursed, and prayed, hoping someone would come to their aid, but no matter how much they wailed and cried out in pain, no one would come to their aid.

In reality, the number of survivors is probably far less than one in ten thousand. Only the most resilient group can survive. The machine tower left behind by Hu Yu only provides them with some basic survival skills, such as how to live, how to farm, how to hunt, etc., but does not provide them with any supplies.

The main reason for doing this is that they have been brainwashed to a great extent. The concept of God is deeply rooted in their minds. Only the most brutal survival battle can awaken them. Then they will eventually embark on the path of scientific development, and the myth will fall apart on its own.

What happened here has nothing to do with Hu Yu anymore. Whether they survive or perish is entirely up to them. The base has returned to peace, and after this battle, the alliance's cohesion has reached a new high.

Although the Alliance fleet suffered significant losses, these losses were insignificant compared to its gains. Not only did it acquire the complete technology tree of the Mu Star Civilization, but its proudest achievement was defeating the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet, which, despite having only 99 ships, was still a warship from Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization.

The Brilliant Star Civilization even turned the fragments of the Fish Horse Star warships they found into souvenirs to reward their people who contributed to the war. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. Many people argued heatedly over a single souvenir. The Canxing leader watched this situation with a smile. It seemed that it was time to start a new wave of learning and scientific research.

Human space scientists have arrived at the various civilization bases as promised. Although these space scientists are not the most advanced, they are more than capable of assisting these Star System-Level Civilization. They will help these civilizations solve some of the problems they encounter in their space research and help them advance from their own paths to becoming Small Star Sector Civilization.

Without humanity, these civilizations could not have developed to their current state. They might still be lingering at the Star-Level, let alone having reached the advanced Star System Level level. Moreover, they have seen the potential of Human Civilization, and the benefits of following Human Civilization are self-evident. More importantly, humans are trustworthy and peaceful, never condescending or bossy, but instead treat these lower-level civilizations as true friends, which deeply moves them.

Besides assisting these Star System-Level Civilization, the human fleet itself is also working hard. There are too many technologies to research: the origin of four-dimensional space, the Fourth Reversed State, Basic Space Theory, space defense, extreme celestial bodies, space-cutting attack methods, dimensional strikes, the nature of virtual particles, new long-distance communication methods, consciousness research, biological warriors, and even the Abyss, and so on. There are too many things to research and solve.

I used to think that the higher the level of civilization, the fewer things there were to solve, but now I realize how fortunate the lower-level civilizations are, dealing with only the simplest things.

These matters can only be left to the academicians to ponder; Hu Yu is willing but unable to do so. The fleet has many more things that require his attention. Currently, the fleet's production scale has reached a scale of nearly ten thousand planets. Although only a small portion of these planets have been utilized yet, all of them will become industrial planets over time.

By then, countless warships, equipment, and products will be produced on these planets. The number of habitable planets has already expanded to 20, and another 30 are being refurbished. These 50 planets will be able to accommodate trillions of people and guarantee the highest quality living environment.

" Old Hu, shouldn't we head to the Carina Civilization now? Although the Xuan Star Civilization didn't join the alliance, we've at least succeeded halfway. If the old man has really made arrangements for the Argo Navis, there shouldn't be any problems."

"It's time to prepare for departure. This time, I'll go in person again to show my sincerity. I'll temporarily entrust the affairs of the fleet to you."

"Alright, no problem. Since the old man has already made the arrangements, there's no danger for you to go. However, some of the Reaper still need to be sent out to avoid any trouble along the way."

"Yes, I will."

"General, reconnaissance satellites have detected an unfamiliar fleet! It numbers approximately one billion ships, each 25 kilometers long and traveling at 4000 times the speed of light."

" Old Hu, what's going on? This is clearly a fleet from Small Star Sector Civilization, daring to so brazenly enter the vicinity of our territory!"

"Don't rush, let's take a look first."

"Order the nearby Reaper to intercept them and warn them to leave immediately."

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff."

The million Reaper patrolling nearby immediately sped toward the direction from which the unfamiliar fleet was coming. Although the other side was also a fleet of Small Star Sector Civilization, the Reaper did not take it seriously. With their Reversed State Armor, no civilization other than the Fish Horse Star, which had reached the limit of Small Star Region, could do anything to the Reaper.

"Humans, we are the Carina Civilization, please open the passage!"

Suddenly, a message came from the other side: since the fleet had built Space Barrier defense system hundreds of light-years away, any warship entering the territory without authorization would be attacked. The Carina Civilization's fleet should have also discovered these defense instruments, so they requested that the passage be opened.

"It's the Carina Civilization! Old Hu, they've come to us of their own accord."

"Immediately have all warships at the base line up to welcome them, including the Star System Level fleet and the Tree Race elders. Since they've come, let them see our strength, lest they look down on the Star Ring Alliance."

"Okay."

" Carina Civilization, Carina Civilization, we are Human Civilization, and we warmly welcome your arrival. The passage has been opened, and all your fleets are welcome to enter our territory."

Unlike Li Shun Hu Yu did not have the Wind Master dock outside the territory to wait. Since the Carina Civilization had taken the initiative to come, humanity had to show sufficient trust and sincerity. In addition, with 20 billion Reaper in the base, they were not afraid of these 1 billion warships causing any significant disturbance.
