"General, is there any way to carve out a space from the Alliance Space?" Academician Zeng asked Hu Yu as soon as he finished his work.

"Cut off the Alliance Space?"

"Time in the Alliance Space is unaffected by the greater universe. I think if we move the Alliance Space to the Secondary Universe, it shouldn't be affected either. This way, we can acquire a large fleet in a short time; otherwise, we have little hope of dealing with the Fish Horse Star Civilization."

"Okay, I'll go talk to them."

Hu Yu first went to the Dark Moon Civilization base, found the Dark Moon Civilization leader and explained his purpose. The Dark Moon base was also in the Secondary Universe. Hearing that the method of cutting the Alliance Space was feasible, the Dark Moon leader immediately agreed. Then Hu Yu and the Dark Moon leader returned to the main universe to discuss with the leaders of the other four civilizations.

Some people hesitated, fearing that the Alliance Space would collapse once it was cut apart, and they would lose even the double time advantage. However, considering that the double time advantage was not very useful in the current situation, they might as well take a gamble. If they were right, everyone's fleets could be upgraded quickly; if they were wrong, the losses would not be too great.

The leader of Tian Feng was the first to agree, but to Hu Yu's surprise, the leader of Demon Scorpion was the second to agree. Logically, the leader of Demon Scorpion should have been the first to object at this point. Including the Dark Moon Civilization, three leaders had now agreed. The leaders of Yun San and Rock Star did not object either, indicating their tacit consent.

The first piece of Alliance Space, with a diameter of 100 astronomical units, was cut off separately. Since the entrance and exit of the Secondary Universe is only 500 astronomical units, under uncertain circumstances, everyone can only try to minimize the impact on Alliance Space. Therefore, compressed space cannot be used. In addition, this space is only for experimental use and does not need to be too large.

More importantly, it is necessary to prevent the fragmented Alliance Space from being affected by the Anti-Space. The fleet needs to release energy to protect the Alliance Space through the space fragmentation zone. Once inside the Secondary Universe, a relatively large space fragment can be found to house the Alliance Space. If no changes occur, the time advantage of the Alliance Space and the time advantage of the Secondary Universe may even have a superimposed effect.

The reason why the Reversed State pipeline changed the time of the Secondary Universe was because the pipeline brought the time of the macrocosm with it when it transported energy and space. It's like a cup of hot water and a cup of cold water; if there is a pipe connecting them, the water temperature will gradually become the same.

However, now we can put hot water directly into a super insulated cup and put it in the freezer. The insulated cup as a whole will definitely enjoy the time advantage of the Secondary Universe. This insulated cup is the Alliance Space, a space left behind by a destroyed black hole.

After the effects of the Reversed State channel disappeared, some civilizations attempted to move stars into the Secondary Universe. However, as long as the amount of matter from the main universe in the Secondary Universe reached a certain level, it would change the flow of time in that region. Even a large number of fleets would alter the time in the Secondary Universe. Therefore, most fleets in the Secondary Universe are divided into multiple groups for garrisoning.

Only something like the Alliance Space could possibly maintain the time advantage of the Secondary Universe. This is because the Alliance Space is very special; it exists within the larger universe, yet it is independent of it. Even if the Alliance Space contains a great deal of space and energy, it will not affect the flow of time in the Secondary Universe. (PS: I have tried my best to describe this; please think about it carefully. If you don't understand, just skip it.)

Protected by trillions of warships, the Alliance Space is advancing at high speed into the depths of the Secondary Universe. The Fish Horse Star Civilization has already filled the area hundreds of light-years from the Secondary Universe entrance with the vast universe. Apart from the dimension, this area is no different from the vast universe. To gain a time advantage, they can only continue to go deeper.

The fleet quickly passed through the intact space region and entered the shattered space. Hu Yu once again witnessed the technological strength of these Great Star Region Civilization. They maintained a speed of hundreds of times that of light even in the shattered space. Fortunately, the Fish Horse Star Civilization did not know the specific location of the civilization in the Secondary Universe, otherwise they would have been able to catch up with the civilization base very quickly at their speed.

Even now, the Conqueror cannot achieve faster-than-light travel in the space fragments of the Secondary Universe, which shows that there is still a considerable gap between them and the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization. The reason why humanity has been able to defeat the Fish Horse Star Civilization time and time again is because of its unconventional approach, and this kind of faster-than-light travel in space fragments is the most important basic technology.

The Alliance Space quickly penetrated to a distance of about 2,000 light-years in the Secondary Universe, where there was a huge piece of space debris. The fleet placed the Alliance Space here and stopped energy protection. It was clear that the fleet had almost exhausted most of its energy, and the remaining energy was only enough for the return journey.

Energy is always a major problem when operating in the Secondary Universe, which is why the Fish Horse Star Civilization came up with the idea of using fourth-dimensional energy and space to infuse the Secondary Universe and facilitate their operations.

Scientists from several civilizations have entered the Alliance Space. They are operating various instruments, each displaying different symbols of its respective civilization. After some effort, these scientists from different civilizations nod to each other, then shake their heads.

"Distinguished leaders, after rigorous calculations, we have determined that the fragmented Alliance Space will continue to gradually lose its temporal advantage. This is likely due to its incomplete state after being fragmented. However, this change is very slow. Considering the combined temporal advantage of the Alliance Space, we can gain a temporal advantage of approximately 20,000 years within 100 years. Afterward, the changes in the space will accelerate until it is assimilated by the Secondary Universe."

"Twenty thousand years is enough. Everyone should prepare their own material reserves. Each civilization can carve out a space with an area of 200 astronomical units. In addition, I would like to ask all scientists to return to the greater universe and investigate whether the changes that occurred in the Alliance Space in the Secondary Universe will also occur in the greater universe. If so, find a way to repair them. The Alliance Space is now of great importance."

The space, 200 astronomical units in size, was filled with enough matter and energy to build an absolutely massive fleet. If this space were filled, it would take more than 20,000 years to use it all. After preparing for about 20,000 years of consumption, several Great Star Region Advanced Civilization began to cut the Alliance Space and send them one by one into the Secondary Universe.

In the short time it took for the fleet of the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization to leave, it seemed like only a dozen days had passed. Before long, all of the more than one hundred civilizations in the Secondary Universe obtained the fragmented Alliance Space. Hu Yu did not lack energy in the Secondary Universe, but now that the Alliance Space had superimposed time again, Hu Yu still prepared enough energy and moved his base to the Alliance Space.
