Over the years, Hu Yu had secretly sent warships out into the three-dimensional universe to gather information. The main fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization was no longer at the entrance and exit of the Mirror Sub-Universe, but it still left hundreds of billions of giant ships blocking the exit. In addition to these warships, there were also some space instruments. It was likely that as soon as the Conqueror appeared, they would be detected by these instruments.
Fortunately, these instruments and the fleet were still some distance from the exit. The Conqueror quietly released a two-dimensional miniature spaceship. Even so, Hu Yu did not dare to expose the two-dimensional miniature spaceship to the three-dimensional universe for a long time. After receiving some reconnaissance messages from the galaxy, it hurriedly returned to port.
Nothing particularly noteworthy seemed to have occurred in the vast universe. According to the information gathered, the main fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization remained near the central black hole, taking no action whatsoever. It neither attacked other lower-level civilizations nor clashed with any of the five Great Star Region Civilization. Of course, no civilization dared to provoke the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet.
However, the five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization have once again mobilized 50 trillion warships from their main bases to surround the central black hole, confronting the fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. This may be related to the claim that once the central black hole of the galaxy is destroyed, all intelligent life in the entire galaxy will perish instantly.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization is not a galactic civilization. Regardless of whether the five Great Star Region Civilization know this or not, they must take such countermeasures to prevent the Fish Horse Star Civilization from destroying the central black hole. Although Hu Yu does not yet know how to destroy a black hole, it does not mean that it is impossible.
As the fleet spends more and more time in the Mirror Sub-Universe, its demand for matter and energy increases. Most of the academicians' experiments require extremely high energy levels, which the fleet cannot currently meet, especially since the fleet is not yet navigating through these fragmented spaces.
Navigating through the shattered space would consume even more energy. This is not an ordinary space; traversing between spatial fragments requires energy to combat the Void between them. This energy consumption is enormous. Last time, Academician Liu Bo Chen Peng and Liu Bo exhausted 20 billion ships when they left this place. If Zu hadn't provided most of the energy, the fleet wouldn't have been able to leave the Mirror Sub-Universe at all.
Moreover, the power of space debris is simply too much for the warships of ordinary Small Star Sector Civilization to withstand. Academician Liu once tried to remove the Reaper's Reversed State Armor, and the ship's hull inside was instantly cut into countless pieces by the space debris. The Reaper's ship hull is the strength of Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization of the Milky Way. This strength cannot withstand the cutting power of space debris. Only something Reversed State can withstand it.
There is also Void between the fragments of space, just like the spatial collapse effect caused by antimatter stars. Space fragments are also generated when the fleet attacks, but there is no Void between these fragments. The attack power comes more from the changes in space, not from this Void.
Therefore, even if we know about the time advantage here, if we cannot obtain energy here and bring in external energy to build warships and then take them out, it won't be much faster. This is because the closer we get to the universe, the slower the flow of time becomes, and only by going deeper into the universe will we gain a significant time advantage.
The extent to which Hu Yu has now ventured is beyond the measure of distance. Due to the impossibility of warp drive here, Hu Yu has been traversing the spatial fragments for over 300 years, until the energy stored within the Conqueror ship is almost completely depleted, at which point he finally finds a relatively large spatial fragment to stop.
There is no direction here. If it weren't for Academician Liu's guidance, we wouldn't know where the fleet would end up. Last time Academician Liu came out, he recorded the spatial data here in detail so that the fleet could enter again in the future. Sure enough, now that the fleet has been forced here by the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the previously recorded data has played a great role.
The fleet has now been reduced to only 60 billion ships. Apart from the energy given to the Tree Race for the 20 billion warships, the remaining energy has been used for research. The energy consumed by the people is negligible for the fleet. Not to mention 5 trillion people, even 500 trillion people could easily supply the energy consumed by a single Conqueror.
It's important to know that a cubic centimeter of the Reversed State is transformed from the equivalent of 300 million tons of matter. The energy of any single Conqueror is equivalent to the energy released by a Sun. However, even this energy is far from sufficient for the research of the fleet. The energy consumed by extracting just a Two-Dimensional Basic Space is too much to count.
Both Conqueror were converted into energy, and then this energy was collided. The resulting Two-Dimensional Basic Space could only cover an area of less than one square meter. Without the support of fourth-dimensional energy, the fleet would not be able to convert so many Conqueror into two dimensions. Now, extracting Two-Dimensional Basic Space here is an extremely luxurious thing for the fleet.
This is just one project; other projects also require endless energy. For example, the research on space collapse requires an incalculable amount of energy. The fleet is currently unable to conduct this experiment. Although the academicians have made some progress, without corresponding experimental data, the research is difficult to continue.
The higher the level of civilization, the greater the demand for energy. Energy is the foundation of a civilization's strength. The more powerful a civilization is, the more energy it controls. Conversely, the more energy a civilization controls, the more powerful it Planetary-Level Civilization can generally use nuclear energy, while Stellar-Level Civilization can use antimatter energy.
Star System-Level Civilization can use the energy of any matter. Some Small Star Sector Civilization can already use dimensional energy, while Great Star Region Civilization can use dimensional energy perfectly. As for the energy usage of Galactic-Level Civilization, Hu Yu has no way of guessing. It must be an energy of terrifying extreme.
Hu Yu is now considering how to obtain more energy. The energy that the fleet currently uses to synthesize in Basic Space, apart from the small amount synthesized in the laboratory, is far from being applicable. Without sufficient machinery and equipment, it is impossible to obtain usable energy.
That day, a ball of light sped forward and arrived at the spatial fragment where Hu Yu was. Hu Yu immediately realized that this ball of light was the ancestor he had later seen in the information provided by Chen Peng. Hu Yu was a little puzzled by the arrival of this ancestor. It was unlikely that he would know about such a distant place. Who could have told the ancestor about the humans entering this place?
