"Envoy, how many Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization now?" Wen Zhonghua asked.
"We know of about 14 Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. They are all civilizations that are only one step away from becoming Great Star Region Civilization. Their strength is extremely terrifying, far beyond what Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization like our Crystal Civilization can contend with. Their fleets number in the trillions. For such civilizations, they no longer need to use the matter and energy in the galaxy. Although they cannot yet fight in the fourth dimension, they can already extract energy from the fourth dimension to synthesize matter and build warships. Otherwise, no matter how many stars they have, they cannot withstand their consumption."
"Trillions! That's a huge disparity. We only have 80 billion ships now. Old Hu, this is a problem."
"General, most of these Small Star Sector Civilization have their own judgment and intelligence systems. Your scientists have entered the Insect Zone and have not yet returned; this is known to all civilizations. However, you still need to be prepared, as some civilizations will choose to believe you."
"Thanks for the reminder, Crystal Messenger. If humanity does obtain this defense system, sharing it with the Milky Way civilization to fight the Zerg swarm is fine, since the Milky Human Civilization wouldn't exist without us. However, if these Human Civilization dare to provoke us, we are not pushovers; we can't be easily bullied by anyone who wants to."
"General, our Crystal Civilization is just an ordinary civilization. We can't afford to provoke those fierce and powerful armies. All we can do is inform you in advance."
"Thank you to the Crystal Civilization. If needed in the future, our Human Civilization will certainly lend a helping hand."
"Thank you, General. Our leader said that if you can overcome this crisis, he will personally visit you."
"Welcome, envoy. Please feel free to tour our planet, a symbol of Human Civilization. Your arrival was hasty, and we have not had time to prepare; please forgive our inconvenience."
"The general's willingness to let me tour this place shows his trust in me, and I certainly don't mind. However, I am indeed very interested in seeing what Human Civilization is all about."
" Jianchuan, accompany the envoy on a walk around Earth Four. Everything is open to the envoy as long as he wishes."
"Yes."
Earth Four is the best-built of all the planets. The centers of various administrative agencies are concentrated on Earth Four, and countless exquisitely designed and uniquely shaped architectural wonders are gathered here. It is an unparalleled honor for anyone whose work can become a reality on Earth Four.
Besides various new high-tech buildings, this place also recreates various ancient China- style buildings, including pavilions and courtyards, green tiles and red eaves, carved railings and jade steps, and flying pavilions with painted red.
Earth Two, on the other hand, was far less developed. Only a few inconspicuous buildings were hidden in the jungle. From the outside, these buildings even looked rotten, with vines growing up the cracks. However, all of this was an illusion. Earth Two used the most advanced technology, the densest defense system, and the most complete weapon system of the entire fleet. Its survivability was several times that of Earth Four because Earth Two was the research and control center of the entire fleet.
" Old Hu, what's the purpose of the Crystal Messenger's visit..."
"It's hard to say. Although we have a good relationship with the Crystal Messenger, we can't be sure if they're using that relationship to test whether we've actually obtained the defense system."
"I believe they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Although our fleet is small, they have witnessed the power of our warships. 80 billion is nothing compared to consuming their hundreds of billions or trillions. It's not worth offending us for a non-existent defense system," Wen Zhonghua said confidently.
"I'm worried it's not the Crystal Civilization, but rather one of those Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. Even one or two of them would be enough to give us trouble."
" Old Hu, we fought against the Fish Horse Star warships before, and the difference in strength was still huge. I wonder if they will come this time. We haven't heard from them for tens of thousands of years, and we haven't found any information about their territory either."
"Don't worry, the Fish Horse Star Civilization definitely won't come. They're not about to start a full-scale war with us right now, and the ones spreading these rumors definitely aren't from the Fish Horse Star Civilization."
"That's true, but we really should prepare now. Those Great Star Region Civilization might not dare to attack us directly, but they'll send some lackeys to harass us."
"If war breaks out this time, it will be a war for our Human Civilization to establish its authority. We must thoroughly terrify them, otherwise they will keep buzzing around our civilization like flies."
"That analogy is inappropriate; we're not rotten eggs..."
"You're still in the mood for banter at a time like this? Aren't you afraid?"
"Did you meet me on the first day? I have never been able to write the word fear."
"Alright, notify the other civilizations in the alliance to prepare for battle. They don't need to fight this time, and those Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization won't cause them any trouble. But tell them to produce as much combat supplies as possible."
The massive machine of the Star Ring Alliance quickly sprang into operation, with busy ships like Bee continuously transporting various supplies to the planets designated by humanity. These supplies were all weapons; there was no time to build a fleet now, so they had to use enough weapons to ensure the success of the war.
Hu Yu also felt the power of the alliance for the first time. Although these civilizations were not as strong as humans, they were a force to be reckoned with when mobilized. After all, apart from the Sand Star Civilization South Star Civilization, the others were all Small Star Sector Civilization. In recent years, under the protection of humans, their population and strength have been growing rapidly.
Now that humanity is in trouble, the Alliance is in trouble, and all civilizations are taking action. The North Star Civilization and the Brilliant Star Civilization, which are already at the Intermediate Stage of Small Star Sector, each possess 30 billion warships. They decisively stand with the Reaper Fleet, advancing and retreating together.
This time, Hu Yu did not stop them. Firstly, this was indeed a formidable fleet. With the help of human academicians, these warships were no worse than the Reaper in any aspect except for Reaper defense. Moreover, all of these fleets were equipped with energy orbs, making them incredibly powerful. Their respective spatial attack routes were also quite remarkable.
Secondly, allowing them to directly participate in the war would increase the cohesion of the alliance. Only through personal participation would they be firmly bound to humanity, sharing weal and woe.
Less than a month into preparations, two massive warships appeared near Earth Four. Hu Yu had no way to defend against these warships from Great Star Region Civilization; they emerged directly from the fourth dimension, rendering any three-dimensional defenses ineffective.
