"Good."
"Furthermore, the publicly stated shipbuilding speed has stopped at 150 million per year, while the fleets being built in secret are either stored inside the Tree Race's planets or in hollow, Reversed State spheres in the fourth dimension, concealing their strength."
"No problem. We can also announce that the current warships have a major design flaw and need to be stopped for rework, making the Conqueror less conspicuous."
"This is our last peaceful ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, we must do our utmost to increase our strength. I foresee that when the great war breaks out, it will be the beginning of disaster. Let the other civilizations in the alliance also make various contingency preparations."
"I have the same feeling. I will inform the other civilizations in the alliance."
"When will the Milky Way finally quiet down?" Hu Yu muttered to himself.
The Milky Way is at its most vibrant since its birth. After tens of thousands of years of nurturing, almost all of the 2 million potential low-level civilizations have reached the required standard and have begun building ships with the help of Small Star Sector Civilization. Although other ordinary civilizations have less potential, their numbers are large, and these technologies do not require them to research, but only to learn, understand, and apply. Therefore, even if their potential is less, it is not a major obstacle.
Therefore, the galaxy is now bustling with activity, boasting over 8 million Small Star Sector Civilization. These small Small Star Sector Civilization are not distinguished by whether they are at the primary or advanced level; as long as their population size and quality meet the standards, they can all produce warships of Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. The original Small Star Sector Civilization, including those of the Alliance, still number only about 160. However, after referencing the technology provided by the Great Star Region Civilization, almost all of these 160 Small Star Sector Civilization have reached the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization stage.
These 160 Small Star Sector Civilization are the true Small Star Sector Civilization. They have mastered all the technologies that Small Star Sector Civilization should have, and their strength is absolutely incomparable to the more than 8 million Small Star Sector Civilization. Moreover, these 160-plus Small Star Sector Civilization control the Small Star Sector Civilization they are nurturing through a group.
Among these Small Star Region groups, the Star Ring Alliance controls the fewest Small Star Sector Civilization, with only 150,000 to date. This is because the Star Ring Alliance is located relatively close to the edge of the galaxy, while ordinary civilizations are placed in the Great Star Region Civilization.
These civilizations are already engaged in a frenzied shipbuilding effort. In order to build these ships, stars are dimming and eventually going out of power, while warships of various shapes are being manufactured one after another.
Time quickly moved to the year 80,000 AD. The number of Small Star Sector Civilization under the jurisdiction of the Star Ring Alliance had reached more than 180,000. The civilization with the most ships had more than 80 billion warships, while the one with the fewest ships was just starting out. However, most civilizations had around 50 billion warships.
The number of warships in these 180,000+ Small Star Sector Civilization has reached a terrifying level, reaching the trillions. The total number of warships in the entire galaxy is nearly ten trillion trillion. In order for these fleets to be born, the original Small Star Sector Civilization provided most of the materials, but it was still far from enough. Hundreds of thousands of stars had to be forced to become sacrifices. If these warships were lined up side by side, they would be enough to travel back and forth across the Milky Way more than a hundred times.
However, Hu Yu was not impressed with the quality of these warships. Very few of them were worthy of his attention. The Reaper were Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, and it was no exaggeration to say that one Reaper could easily handle ten thousand enemies.
The technologies developed by the Great Star Region Civilization do not require these fleets to be particularly powerful; they only need sheer numbers. Currently, the number of their fleets is almost on par with the number of insectoids in the Insect Zone.
In recent years, the Alliance has also developed rapidly. Although the number of the Alliance's fleets cannot be compared with those of other civilizations, they are all top-notch warships. Apart from humans, almost every civilization has 300 billion warships, and the number of Conqueror has reached 3 trillion.
However, the human fleet on the surface is not that large. There are only over 800 billion Conqueror. After the Mechanical Civilization Incident, humanity claimed that the warships had major design problems, and it took thousands of years to rework them. After the production line was improved, the output decreased. What people don't know is that the warships are hidden by Hu Yu in huge Reversed State spheres in the fourth dimension.
Everyone assumed these spheres were human shipbuilding bases, since shipbuilding bases are all enormous structures. Humanity's previous planetary shipbuilding machines were the same. No one expected that humanity's current shipbuilding machines are only slightly larger than the Conqueror. These enormous, Reversed State spheres are filled with layers upon layers of Conqueror, and they are two-dimensional Conqueror.
The Star Ring Alliance now has three Great Star Region Civilization. Besides humanity, the Xuan Star Civilization also took its final step 5,000 years ago, staying in the fourth dimension for over 15,000 years. Feng Ye led a large group of scientists to finally solve the problem of fighting in the fourth dimension. In order to accumulate enough fleets in a short period of time, Feng Ye directly improved the Endeavor. Although the number of Endeavor is not as large as that of humanity, there are still 500 billion ships.
Another Great Star Region Civilization was the wandering, uneducated Aquila Civilization. Hu Yu needed loyal and reliable helpers, and the few dwarfs were naturally the first choice. Hu Yu gave them all his four-dimensional technology, and with the help of the Fourth Reversed State, the Aquila Civilization's combat power was now quite strong. This time, they didn't even make Hu Yu waste his breath, and instead obediently built a new type of fleet on their own. Perhaps they had also sensed the unusual aura.
Although the other civilizations in the alliance are already Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, it is unknown how long it will take for them to reach the stage of Great Star Region Civilization. What Hu Yu regrets is that nearly 20,000 years have passed and no qualified civilization has been able to join the Star Ring Alliance. It seems that reaching the stage of Small Star Sector Civilization on one's own is indeed not so easy.
That year, the alliance received news that all civilizations' fleets were converging on the defensive line.
"Has the time finally come?" Hu Yu muttered to himself.
"It's almost here. Isn't this the day we've been waiting for?"
"Yes, Zhonghua, inform the leaders of all alliance members that I have something important to say."
Soon, all the leaders of the alliance arrived on Earth. In the past, the meetings were held on Earth Four, but this time Hu Yu chose Earth, and everyone felt that this meeting was extraordinary.
"Gentlemen, we have just received information that all fleets must set sail immediately and assemble at the defensive line."
"Really! I can't wait any longer."
"The same goes for us. Once we reclaim the river system, we will rebuild our homes, back to our original coordinates."
Everyone spoke excitedly, especially the six civilizations from the Insect Zone.
