Intelligent beings tend to look further afield, often overlooking the importance of what is right beside them. Just like the civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy, all civilizations have focused their efforts on dimensional technology, neglecting the three-dimensional space that accompanies them at all times.
The Space Millstone of the Fish Horse Star Civilization is just a relatively simple application of space. It's just that their technology is more advanced, which is why the Space Millstone can exert such strong offensive power. Perhaps a simple thing, if used properly, can unleash power beyond everyone's imagination.
This time, the Tree Race suffered losses no less than those of the humans. The old patriarch and the Grand Elder Zhigu have completely disappeared from this world. Although the other elders left behind fruits, their bodies exploded. The fruits need to go through endless years to grow again, and the new elders who grow up will have new consciousnesses.
Apart from Ninety-Seven, the entire Tree Race had no fighting power left. During the spatial chaos, in order to reduce mass and complete the spatial transfer, the old patriarch personally attacked his own people, causing more than half of the clan to be killed in the Space Millstone. The power that the Tree Race had worked so hard to build up was completely lost this time.
Hu Yu felt extremely guilty. If it weren't for him, the Tree Race wouldn't have suffered the same cruelty as humans. However, Ninety-Seven was quite optimistic. After experiencing a brief period of low spirits, Ninety-Seven seemed to have changed. Now, Ninety-Seven truly had the demeanor and responsibility of a clan leader.
The Tree Race requires immense energy to grow, but there is none available here. Fortunately, the Tree Race members don't normally need energy; their own energy is sufficient for their survival for hundreds of thousands of years, though they cannot grow further. Currently, these Tree Race members and the fleet are in the same spatial fragment.
They regrouped, their roots connected, forming a giant planet. However, this planet had no other plants; all its inhabitants were members of the Tree Race. After greeting Hu Yu, Ninety-Seven entered this hollow planet and has not been seen since.
Even Hu Yu didn't know what Ninety-Seven was doing. As a special plant race, the Tree Race had many unique characteristics. Although Hu Yu had known the Tree Race for tens of thousands of years, he didn't know all of Tree Race secrets. Judging from Ninety-Seven's actions this time, the Tree Race must be carrying out some major operation.
Hu Yu didn't ask about the specifics, but simply sent the Tree Race the energy converted from 20 billion Conqueror. Although this energy was already quite a lot, it was still just a drop in the bucket for the Tree Race. However, the fleet couldn't obtain any energy from the outside world, so this was all they could offer to the Tree Race.
Hu Yu often thinks about the current situation in the Milky Way. Individually, the five Great Star Region Civilization are no match for the Fish Horse Star Civilization Fish Horse Star Civilization. The chances of them continuing to fight are slim. The five Great Star Region Civilization will not continue to attack the Fish Horse Star Civilization for the sake of humanity. Sending their fleets to rescue humanity is already the limit for them.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke the five Great Star Region Civilization. There might be a temporary balance between them. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization is not Milky Way civilization, so what is their purpose in coming to the Milky Way? What is their purpose in raising insects? They even went so far as to create a Small Star Region branch in order to raise insects.
Hu Yu thought of that Mechanical Civilization again. Why didn't they leave the Milky Way after being attacked? Instead, they hid in the Insect Zone and developed secretly. What was so special about the Milky Way that they wanted to stay? In the universe, the Milky Way is just an ordinary star system. Even a civilization like the Fish Horse Star, which is almost at the limit of Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, came to the Milky Way. Such a civilization would be an all-powerful force in any star system.
Hu Yu had called out to Mr. Daozi several times, just like Wen Zhonghua, but Mr. Daozi had not appeared. Perhaps because there was no fourth dimension here, Mr. Daozi could not descend. Hu Yu thought that once he got out of here, he must catch this old man and ask him everything. Otherwise, he would be led by the nose without knowing anything about it.
Time seems to pass exceptionally quickly in the Mirror Sub-Universe. Not only is the flow of time different from that of the main universe, but the escape ten thousand years ago seems like it happened just yesterday, while only a decade or so has passed in the main universe.
"General Bi Cha, how many have you caught?" Academician Liu recently put aside his work and started fishing. His research hadn't made any progress, and his mind was a mess, so he simply put aside his work to distract himself. Anyway, there was plenty of time here.
So, you could often see two people fishing by the artificial lake. However, Bi Cha worked from dawn to dusk every day, more diligently than he did at work, never missing a single day. But Bi Cha had no work to do, so he built a simple hut by the lake and lived there.
Academician Liu would arrive at the lake a little later each day. The Conqueror was large enough, with more than 20 kilometers of open space for people to live in. The artificial lake was normally bound by gravity, so even if the warships made various maneuvers, they would not splash water all over the ship. In addition, there was no war at present, so the lake surface was quite calm.
" Academician Liu, you're too late. This won't do. Fishing is all about going out early and coming back late. Look at me, I've already caught five or six."
"General, I don't have your level of fishing addiction. I'm just here to kill time. How come you're so addicted? You can't eat what you catch."
"Who said you can't eat it? I ate it, and it tasted great."
What! You ate it?
Different civilizations have different food requirements. What is a delicacy in one civilization may be poisonous to another. This difference exists not only between different civilizations but also among all life forms on Earth. Humans can also experience allergies, making it virtually impossible to consume food from another civilization at will.
"Yes, I cooked it according to your human cooking methods, and it tasted delicious. But don't worry, Academician Liu, I asked Academician Xiao to give me a little check-up. Academician Xiao also gave me some pills and said that after taking these pills, I can eat anything that humans can eat without any problems."
"I see."
"Sigh, I regret it so much. I never imagined that your human food could be so delicious, more than ten thousand times better than the dull and monotonous food of our Xuan Star Civilization. I should have had Academician Xiao examine me sooner. Now I can't live without this delicious food. I don't know what I would do if I went back to Xuan Star Civilization."
