The Bi Cha arrived at the warship where Hu Yu was. Hu Yu was staring blankly out the window, the cigarette butt burning his fingers and making a hissing sound, but Hu Yu paid no attention to it. Perhaps this pain could alleviate his guilt a little. At the last moment of the transfer, Hu Yu thought of staying behind, staying to accompany his fallen comrades.
But a last shred of reason made him abandon that idea. He had survived, but countless compatriots had died. They had worked hard, fought, and grown alongside him, and now they had lost their lives because of his leadership mistakes. Hu Yu really wanted to end it all with one shot, and his right hand had already touched his sidearm.
"General Hu Yu, what are you doing!" Bi Cha rushed forward and snatched Hu Yu's sidearm from his hand.
"I am guilty, I have committed an unforgivable sin."
"No one expected that the Fish Horse Star Civilization still existed, and such a powerful one at that. You are not a god, you are a human. As a human, you will make mistakes. Making mistakes is not terrible; what is terrible is being defeated by mistakes. In my memory, you are not someone who gives up easily. Back then, when we were fighting each other, you overcame numerous difficulties and defeated us even though you knew you were weaker than us. To be honest, I admired you a lot at the time."
"My people, my compatriots, more than five trillion! They're dead! They're dead!" Hu Yu screamed hysterically.
"But your surviving people still need you. In your human terms, if the dead saw you like this, would they rest in peace? General Hu Yu, think about it carefully. And what about you all? If you don't pull yourselves together, humanity is truly doomed. Right now, your technology tree is intact, and your scientific personnel are unharmed. As long as you recover, it won't be long before you can regroup and take revenge on the Fish Horse Star Civilization!"
After saying this, Bi Cha left. He knew that Hu Yu and the others would not be able to accept reality in a short time, but in just a little time, humanity would definitely emerge from the shadows and regain its former glory. Moreover, after this blow, humanity would surely reach new heights. Sometimes, anger can motivate people to work harder than hope.
Humanity's escape did not put any pressure on the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Unless humanity permanently leaves the Milky Way, there will be plenty of opportunities to wipe them out in the future as long as they remain in the galaxy.
Soon, humanity was annihilated by the Fish Horse Star Civilization. The entire fleet was destroyed, with only a few people escaping. The Xuan Star Civilization disappeared without a trace, and news that other Small Star Sector Civilization of the Star Ring Alliance had also fled spread throughout the entire Milky Way.
No one seemed to care much about humanity's defeat. Humanity had already impressed everyone by destroying over 8 trillion warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization despite the vast disparity in strength. On the contrary, the Fish Horse Star Civilization amazed all other civilizations. No one had imagined that the true strength of the Fish Horse Star Civilization actually surpassed that of five Great Star Region Civilization.
The Small Star Sector Civilization, especially those that had been fighting the Zerg swarm alongside the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization, were utterly astonished. Now, with the Fish Horse Star Civilization's powerful arrival, these Small Star Sector Civilization were even more bewildered. It was clear that the situation in the galaxy was about to undergo a new change, and everyone just hoped that the Fish Horse Star Civilization wouldn't go on a killing spree.
Some cowardly civilizations have already abandoned their defenses. They have enough Small Star Sector Civilization technology to navigate galaxies, and they are preparing to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy or other star systems. However, several Great Star Region Civilization have issued a notice that no civilization may leave the vicinity of the Milky Way within one million light-years, or face execution. In addition, other galactic civilizations hold extremely strong hostility towards non-native civilizations, and once discovered to lack sufficient strength, they will face certain death.
These Small Star Sector Civilization had no choice but to stay obediently in the Milky Way. Even so, they began to prepare various escape routes in case they were wiped out.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet did not engage in the slaughter of other lower-level civilizations, perhaps because such meaningless killings were no longer of any interest to them. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet still went to Li Shun's Second Base to investigate. Li Shun was far more vigilant than Hu Yu, Fish Horse Star Civilization gained nothing.
Ten years have passed in the Mirror Sub-Universe. Time has healed the wounds in everyone's hearts, and people have cheered up again. The most serious problem facing everyone is the energy problem. Last time, when Wen Zhonghua guided Academician Liu and Chen Peng out, it was because the ancestor gave them an energy ball that the fleet could sustain itself for a long enough time. Now there is nothing. A hundred billion warships simply cannot reach the interior of the Mirror Sub-Universe.
To conserve energy, the fleet has ceased its voyage and is now in a massive spatial fragment, where everything is normal except for time and the fourth dimension.
Although the technology tree was not lost, all the machinery and equipment were lost, and the Conqueror's internal storage was not enough to sustain such a large population for tens of thousands of years. Hu Yu planned to stay here until he was able to protect himself before leaving. The time flow here was almost a thousand times faster than outside. Although resources were scarce and even conducting experiments was extremely difficult, this place was a good place for humans to shelter from the wind and rain.
This time, Bi Cha witnessed the potential of humanity. Everyone sprang into action. Some used the internal machinery of the warship to build more equipment, some engaged in planting, and some maintained the warship. Humans were busy everywhere inside the warship. However, resources were limited, so Hu Yu had to dismantle some of the Conqueror and use Conqueror energy to synthesize various substances for everyone's use.
Meanwhile, Academician Zeng, Academician Liu, Academician Li, among others, have begun researching how to obtain energy from pure space, so that the fleet can continue to develop here. Obtaining energy from pure space is not impossible, as Basic Energy is composed of Basic Space. As long as the technological level is reached, space can also generate energy.
The most idle person these days has to be Bi Cha. I don't know who he learned fishing from, but he spends all his time happily fishing in an artificial lake with a fishing rod. The Conqueror is big enough that Hu Yu created a small lake in each warship to provide better living space for the people. The lake is full of all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs, which can not only improve the water quality, but also provide food for everyone. Fishing is not a activity in the Xuan Star Civilization, Bi Cha got addicted to it after trying it.
Although the recent battles have caused many losses to humanity, they have also revealed many bizarre spatial attack methods. In the past, academicians could hardly imagine that three-dimensional space could be used in so many ways, especially the move by the Fish Horse Star, which made the academicians realize that even in the use of three-dimensional space, humanity only knows the tip of the iceberg.
