The Super Fortress did not stop ravaging the energy pillars. All warp drive capabilities within a two-light-year radius of the Super Fortress were stripped away before the Super Fortress reduced the frequency of the energy pillars' sweep. The sheer volume of energy involved was beyond calculation.
If this energy were to appear in the Milky Way, it could completely disrupt the Milky Way's operating rules. At this point, the Boötes Galaxy would have completely stopped functioning, and a large number of stars would instantly fall into a state of chaos, with collisions and explosions occurring one after another in a continuous stream.
Hu Yu watched the ever-changing Boötes on the screen. What was once a perfectly healthy galaxy might be completely unrecognizable after this battle, perhaps even turning into a dark region altogether. All the celestial bodies that had lost their normal orbits would be swallowed by the central black hole of Boötes, becoming nourishment for the black hole.
"All Conqueror, approach the Fish Horse Star base, concentrate your launches of Virtual Matter, and attempt to open a passage."
Hu Yu saw an opportunity. Although the Fish Horse Star fleet was powerful, the River System fleet's combat strength had far surpassed that of the Fish Horse Star fleet. The focus of this war was the Fish Horse Star base. As long as this base was breached, no matter how many Fish Horse Star fleets there were, they would be no threat. A fleet without a rear base was like a rootless duckweed, unable to withstand attrition.
The Conqueror, as nimb as ghosts, evaded the energy pillars and stealthily approached the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Now, there were no more spatial fragments in the airspace, and no civilization had the ability to break through this airspace again.
The Conqueror successfully approached the Super Fortress and, under Hu Yu's command, released all the stored Virtual Matter into a corner of the Super Fortress at once.
With the massive amount of Virtual Matter carried by these Conqueror, Hu Yu thought he could at least open a gap millions of kilometers wide for the fleet to attack. However, the Super Fortress showed no signs of damage, and the huge gap he had imagined did not appear. The Virtual Matter projected onto the Super Fortress was like an egg hitting a rock.
The material composition of the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization has been discovered; it is composed of pure protons. Protons are absolutely unable to withstand attacks from Virtual Matter. Regardless of the structure in which protons exist, as long as they are positive matter, they cannot stop the attrition of Virtual Matter. However, the facts have once again refreshed everyone's understanding.
In the brightly lit conference room next to the command center, Academician Zeng and a group of other academicians had been engaged in intense discussions for days and nights. Various possibilities were constantly being raised and then rejected. At present, two problems urgently needed to be solved: one was the energy source of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, and the other was why Virtual Matter matter.
Apart from Academician Zeng, scientists from all other civilizations were extremely busy at the moment. This war had exceeded the understanding of scientists from all civilizations. As an Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's technological strength had even faintly reached the Galaxy-Level.
"General, Yun San Civilization Communication!"
"Take it."
The leader of the Yun San Civilization appears in the holographic image.
"General Hu Yu, have you made any progress?"
"No."
Hu Yu was speechless at the question posed by the leader of Yun San. As Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, they were asking a question about a Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization. It seemed that they also had no solution to the fortress problem of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. When he handed over the data on the Super Fortress, they seemed indifferent, but now they were asking him if he had any solutions.
"This is getting tricky. I didn't expect the fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization to be so sturdy."
"We are working hard, but attacks using Virtual Matter and antimatter, as well as two-dimensional attacks, have yielded no results. Super Dimensional Reduction Strike probably won't be very effective either. We must find another way to open a breach, and we need to do it quickly."
"Well, all our scientists are working incredibly hard, and I only came to inquire because there's been absolutely no progress."
"War is far more difficult than we imagined. Now, keep all fleets at a distance from the Fish Horse Star Super Fortress to minimize losses. The great battle has only just begun."
The war had reached a stalemate. The Fish Horse Star warships dared not come out, and the Milky Way fleet dared not approach. In comparison, the Fish Horse Star Civilization seemed to be in a more relaxed position. With the Super Fortress being so sturdy, the Fish Horse Star Civilization could be fearless. It was like a tortoise encountering a weasel; it was definitely the weasel, not the tortoise, that was anxious.
"First Leader, good news! Good news! Scientists in the Milky Way have made significant progress and have informed us that we are ready to depart at any time."
"Good, good, good! Commander Ci Ma deserves a huge commendation! The history of the Fish Horse Star Civilization is about to change! Activate the Super Fortress and set sail for the Milky Way!"
"Yes! First Leader, Fish Horse Star Civilization!"
With the order given by the first leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the Super Fortress, a behemoth with a diameter of over 500 astronomical units, slowly began to move. Although its initial speed was slow, it maintained an accelerating state. At the current rate, it would reach about 0.5 times the speed of light in less than a hundred years, and its direction of travel was towards the central black hole of the Milky Way.
Moreover, this is still in an energy-dense region. Nobody knows whether this thing will have the ability to travel by warp drive once it leaves the energy-dense region. If it doesn't, probably nobody will believe it.
Hu Yu had been steadfastly guarding his post for several days and nights. As soon as the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization moved, Hu Yu immediately discovered that the fortress was heading in the direction of the central black hole of the Milky Way. The fleet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization had been stationed near the central black hole. Although he did not know what they were doing, considering the relationship between the central black hole and life in the Milky Way, the Fish Horse Star Civilization must be conducting some special research.
As the Super Fortress heads toward the central black hole, Hu Yu senses an unusual sense of crisis. This isn't the first time Hu Yu has felt this sense of crisis; every time he feels this way, the fleet has suffered a major accident. This time, the feeling is particularly strong, and Hu Yu even vaguely hears the word "danger" in his mind.
At the same time, all the fleets in the Milky Way mobilized, launching a fierce attack in the direction the Super Fortress on Fish Horse Star Super Fortress advancing, trying to stop its progress. However, to no avail. The Super Fortress continued its steady advance at a slow pace, displaying an indomitable spirit that seemed to slay any obstacle in its path.
The Milky Way fleet can only attack from a distance, away from the Super Fortress, increasing the spatial density along the way to prevent the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization from entering warp drive mode. Once the Super Fortress enters warp drive mode, it will be impossible to stop its advance.
