The space and energy flowing into the Secondary Universe were moving very fast. Because the Fish Horse Star Civilization had expanded the entrance and exit to nearly 500 astronomical units, space was expanding in the Secondary Universe at ten times the speed of light. Hu Yu suddenly became nervous. At this rate, it wouldn't take more than a hundred years for the space to expand to catch up with the civilization base, which was still relocating.
Because the Reversed State pipeline is only a thousand light-years long, the base that replenished its energy at the end of the pipeline is only enough to continue going forward for about a thousand light-years. The Fish Horse Star Civilization clearly knows the situation in the Secondary Universe, so they use this method to coerce the civilizations in the Secondary Universe. Moreover, they have not continued to expand the entrance and exit of the Secondary Universe. It is very likely that they want to guard the entrance and exit tightly and not give any civilization's spaceship a chance to escape.
Even though the human base has enough energy, Hu Yu is still very worried. This energy is enough to support the base's relocation to any location in the Secondary Universe. Since having the energy support, Hu Yu has already moved the base hundreds of light-years deeper into the interior. Now, the base is still farther away from the Fish Horse Star Civilization than other civilizations, but it will take hundreds of thousands of years to traverse these fragmented spaces using conventional power engines.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization, having manipulated fourth-dimensional space into the Secondary Universe, will definitely not give humanity that much time. The speed of spatial expansion is only a few decades behind other civilizations, even if it catches up with the human base. What they lack now is not energy, but time.
Hu Yu thought of the Neutron Star Cannon. If a batch of Neutron Star Cannon could arrive at this time, it might be able to stop the Fish Horse Star Civilization from its crazy actions. However, the entrance to the Secondary Universe is 20,000 light-years away from the edge of the Milky Way. The celestial bodies that were just transported here have already been destroyed by the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Neutron Star Cannon can only travel in the three-dimensional universe. If the distance to the Reversed State isolation is too far, the speed of neutron star curvature travel will be slowed down. However, if the distance is too close, it cannot support the distance of 20,000 light-years. If stars are transported on a large scale to create neutron stars nearby, it will definitely attract the attention of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and will not have any attack effect.
Even if all the Virtual Energy and Virtual Matter stored in the fleet were used, it wouldn't be enough to destroy so many Fish Horse Star warships. The Dark Moon Civilization's billions of years of accumulation had only destroyed a portion of the Fish Horse Star warships. However, Hu Yu's Virtual Matter was mainly used to equip warships, while the Dark Moon Civilization's Virtual Matter was used as a space-based defense system. Their combat effects were different. Even so, Hu Yu knew that the Virtual Matter bombs he had wouldn't be able to harm the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
More importantly, the Fish Horse Star Civilization now extremely cautious. Hu Yu is unaware that the Fish Horse Star commander Du Ka, was almost replaced and severely punished by the leader. Therefore, Du Ka has put aside his arrogant and conceited nature and is cautiously advancing little by little. Although this method of attack is slower, it is flawless, and humanity can no longer find any loopholes.
" Old Hu, those bastards from the Fish Horse Star Civilization, they actually pulled this stunt, what do we do?"
"The only way to stop the Fish Horse Star fleet's advance right now is to find their base. If we join forces with the Yun San Civilization and others to attack their base, it might force their fleet to turn back."
"Don't even mention Yun San Civilization. Just thinking about Laozi makes me furious. Leave this mess to us; they definitely still have their fleet guarding their base."
"Well, I understand. We can't expect every civilization to be like us. They're already doing quite well, considering they didn't anticipate this situation."
Indeed, the Yun San Civilization and the others did not expect the Fish Horse Star Civilization to attack the civilization base in the Secondary Universe in this way. If the Fish Horse Star Civilization had not done this, the base in the Secondary Universe would have been absolutely safe under human organization, and the Fish Horse Star Civilization would have had to return empty-handed.
They cannot stop this situation from happening now. There are indeed still fleets in the base, but those fleets are the last force of civilization, and they must not be mobilized unless the life or death of civilization is in danger.
Fleets in other parts of the galaxy either need to guard the central black hole or help the Dark Moon Civilization escape. The remaining fleets are powerless to stop the Fish Horse Star fleet. Even if they charge in, it will only increase the number of casualties and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
"The academicians are still working hard. Photon has almost completely scanned the Boötes, but there is no sign of the Fish Horse Star base. Could it be that the Demon Scorpion Civilization, Laozi 've always disliked, has made a mistake?"
"Probably not. Academician Zeng and his team have already confirmed that the Fish Horse Star fleet did indeed come from the Boötes Galaxy. It's just that the Fish Horse Star Civilization is extremely well hidden. They have the technology to compress and fold space, making it very difficult to find them."
Meanwhile, the battlefield at the Dark Moon base was also in complete chaos. One side wanted to escape, while the other wouldn't let them. The Fish Horse Star Fleet was fighting two against one, yet it was not at a disadvantage at all. However, it was impossible to gain the upper hand at this point. The Dark Moon Civilization's planetary ships still hadn't found a chance to escape.
Dimensions collapsed, space shattered, energy raged, and debris flew everywhere. There was almost no intact area in the entire space. The spatial collapse caused by the joint fleet pulling the four-dimensional space into the three-dimensional universe had expanded to the size of several light-years. Several small voids connected to form a large void, and it was still spreading outwards.
All fleets are now fighting around the ever-expanding void. This void has brought many advantages to the Allied Fleet. It is difficult for the Allied Fleet to destroy the Fish Horse Star warships, but it is much easier to use energy to propel Fish Horse Star. Fighting in zero gravity, if the warships do not force themselves to stabilize their attitude, only a tiny amount of energy is needed to pry open a giant warship.
The Fish Horse Star warships were slightly stronger than the combined fleet's warships, but once they were affected by the collapsing spatial shockwaves, they were unable to protect themselves. As the collapse continued to expand, the combined fleet's numerical advantage gradually became apparent, and one after another, the Fish Horse Star warships were carried into the spatial void and destroyed by the combined fleet's energy shockwaves.
The Dark Moon Civilization's fleet had surrounded the planetary spaceships layer by layer. The spatial void was growing larger and larger, while the density of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet was decreasing. They were like a group of ants fighting on a balloon. The balloon was being blown bigger and bigger, and the distance between the ants was getting farther and farther.
The fleets of the other four civilizations were finally able to hold off the Fish Horse Star fleet. The Dark Moon Civilization's fleet seized the opportunity and broke through the Fish Horse Star Civilization's encirclement through a weak opening, escaping to the fourth dimension. Most of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet was in the three-dimensional universe, and only a small fleet remained in the fourth dimension, which was no longer able to stop the Dark Moon Civilization from escaping.
