" Academician Gao, you..." Qin Yin suddenly stood up, as if something extremely terrifying had happened.
What happened to us?
"Minister, don't you guys sense anything?" Hu Yu also noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all staring at us? We're fine, there's nothing wrong with us." Luo Zhigao looked at himself, then at Gao Zhengyang and the others.
"Your appearances are much blurry! Academician Gao, are you sure you've returned to the normal timeline?" Qin Yin asked.
"Oh no, Minister, we haven't truly integrated into the timeline of the greater universe yet."
What exactly happened?
"We overdid it, and after intersecting with the timeline of the greater universe, we're about to separate again."
"So what do we do now?"
"We'll soon be back on a meaningless timeline; we'll have to find another way."
"Quickly, arrange for technological teleportation immediately, send the technology over first." As Luo Zhigao spoke, Hu Yu could no longer hear Luo Zhigao's voice; he became increasingly indistinct, almost transparent.
" Hu Yu, work hard, goodbye." These were Luo Zhigao's last words.
"Minister, Minister!" Hu Yu shouted, but Luo Zhigao was no longer responding. Hu Yu saw a smile on Luo Zhigao's transparent face, a smile of satisfaction and relief.
The technology transmission only lasted for a dozen seconds before it was cut off. However, even those few seconds contained a massive amount of data, hundreds of petabytes. Although it was only a small fraction, it was still a significant gain for the fleet.
Hu Yu and the others had no choice but to wave goodbye to Luo Zhigao. Although it was only a brief reunion, they knew at least that Luo Zhigao was safe and had sufficient technological strength to protect himself. Hu Yu also believed that Luo Zhigao and the others would soon be able to return to the normal timeline of the universe.
The massive fleet outside also slowly disappeared, startling the Alliance civilizations. Some even suspected that Hu Yu's people had reached the Great Star Region Civilization, otherwise how could they have vanished into thin air in the three-dimensional universe?
" Old Gao." Luo Zhigao gave a wry smile.
"I'm sorry, Minister, our calculations were wrong. The infinite redshift of a black hole causes too much time distortion. We need to find other solutions."
"Okay, at least we know Hu Yu and the others are alright, which is good. We can have the entire galaxy, even the whole universe, all to ourselves, haha."
"That's what they say, but..."
"I know, it's pointless, haha, Old Gao, cheer up. You guys relax too, we have plenty of time now, let's take a good look at this magnificent Milky Way."
"Alright, since the minister has given the order, the entire Academy of Sciences will be on vacation for ten years."
Having lost contact with Luo Zhigao again, Hu Yu wasn't too worried this time. Now, they needed to analyze the warships of the Flying Bear Civilization, and they also needed to supplement the incomplete data that Luo Zhigao's fleet had just transmitted. Currently, the fleet's main academicians were all lost in the Matter River, and the fleet urgently needed top talent to complete these complex tasks.
Top academicians are not cultivated by accumulating time; it is a kind of comprehension. Just like reading, some children can get 100 points while reading and playing, while some children can only get 80 points even if they study hard. It is true that teachers say that hard work will definitely bring results, but teachers will never say that hard work will get you 100 points.
The same applies to the training of scientists. Scientists with high comprehension and strong abilities are very rare, especially now that fleet technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technologies have reached into profound areas such as space, dimension, and time. Without a brilliant mind, it is simply impossible to understand these things.
Even for the average person, understanding a Euclidean four-dimensional space can be overwhelming. These scientists not only perform precise calculations on it but also apply them in practice. The imagination and insight required are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Although Qin Yin is very talented, she cannot shoulder the heavy burden of the fleet alone. Although Academician Zeng and the others have lost their way, Hu Yu believes that they will definitely return.
Now that his territory has been exposed, Hu Yu decided not to leave and instead set up a high-profile base on this outskirts, though it was less than 5,000 light-years from the defensive line.
All the planets returned to the galaxy, and Hu Yu simply stopped building the defense system. After this incident, he believed that no foolish civilization would dare to disturb the Star Ring Alliance again. The defense system, built over tens of thousands of years, was destroyed in an instant.
There's no need to deploy reconnaissance satellites anymore. To cooperate with the Great Star Region Civilization in searching for Mechanical Civilization, the fleet designed and manufactured a brand-new miniature spaceship called Wriggler. The mosquito larva is only the size of a grain of Wriggler and is an antimatter spaceship. The entire spaceship is made of antimatter. During flight, the Wriggler will collect various matter particles encountered during its journey and annihilate them with itself.
Because of their extremely small mass, the energy from the annihilation of a pair of particles and antiparticles is enough for Wriggler to use for several days. Although small in size, the Wriggler larva is very powerful. No information can escape its eyes. However, due to its small size and limited equipment capabilities, a single Wriggler spaceship can only collect information from tens of thousands of kilometers of airspace.
Another drawback is their slow speed. Warp drives require a lot of space on warships, and the size of Wriggler is already too small to be equipped with warp drives. However, Wriggler will work with other warp-driven micro-ships and photon channels to achieve comprehensive control of the entire universe.
In urgent situations, Wriggler can also launch suicidal attacks; as long as they get close to their target, it's a fatal attack. Of course, this type of attack can only be used against ordinary organisms.
Every day, tens of thousands of Wriggler come off the production line and fly into the vast deep space. They are so small that they can be ignored. Some take off directly from the production line, while others are released from a distance by other spaceships traveling at high speed. In a short time, these Wriggler will spread throughout the entire galaxy.
The entire alliance quickly entered a busy construction era. The warship wreckage was enough to build a massive warship worth 400 billion. Hu Yu distributed all of this wreckage to several Small Star Sector Civilization. With planetary shipbuilding machines and sufficient planetary supply of raw materials, the presence or absence of this wreckage did not have a significant impact on the harvesting process.
On the contrary, these remnants contain the materials and technologies of more than a dozen civilizations, which are extremely valuable to Star System-Level Civilization or even Small Star Sector Junior Civilization. Other Star System-Level Civilization in the universe would not be able to obtain these materials.
Hu Yu's greatest wish is for the academicians to escape the Matter River and return to the fleet. The fleet urgently needs their technological support, especially with the arrival of the Mechanical Civilization, which has added to Hu Yu's already heavy burden.
At this moment, more than 50,000 Reaper had gathered together in the Matter River, tightly surrounding the academicians' flagship. In front of the warship, a huge luminous object appeared.
