Colonel Chu nodded, “At most, we can launch more light needles. By the way, Commander, is the light needle ready?”
“No!”
Zhao Yu shook his head, “The production line for this thing covers a thousand kilometers. We still need some time…”
“Also, we still don’t know whether this big thing can be mounted on the battleship…”
“Captain, the Star Beauty exploded!”
Luka pointed to the gravitational wave detector, saying excitedly.
“I saw it!”
Kote laughed heartily, “Luka, tell me, what was the secret code we agreed upon before Star Beauty made the long jump?”
“Yes, Captain!”
Luka exclaimed, “We agreed with Star Beauty that if they discovered intelligent life defense structures, they would self-destruct in the 7th second…”
“If they found a special cosmic anomaly, they would self-destruct in the 11th second…”
“The situation now is that the Star Beauty self-destructed at the 7th second, which indicates that they saw defense structures on the other side of the wormhole…”
Kote nodded, “It seems that some fleets have already arrived in the target star system ahead of schedule and set an ambush…”
“That’s right!”
Luka added, “And the number of this civilization’s fleets is quite large. Our first three reconnaissance teams didn’t come back, which shows that they have enough strength to set up defense structures…”
“Whether it’s fixed defense or using battleships to destroy the reconnaissance team, they have plenty of troops!”
“Good job!”
Kote patted Luka’s shoulder, “You did well. Now notify the staff to gather.
Based on the information we have now, they should come up with a battle plan as soon as possible…”
“I want to break through the enemy’s defense line and go for the kill!”
“Yes!”
“Did you see that? The large battleship exploded…”
“Right, looking at this, there is already a fleet inside the target star system…”
“How is this possible? We were the first to arrive!”
The fleet from the Fire Fury Civilization in the Proxima Centauri star system was somewhat shocked.
They prided themselves on arriving earlier than any other fleet, and they also knew that within this small Proxima Centauri star system, there were fleets from four other civilizations hidden.
“We should have been the first to arrive…”
“Logically, if they were an invading fleet, they would not need to go directly in, that would only make them easy prey…”
“On the contrary, an invading fleet arriving so early, the right thing to do would be like us, hiding in Proxima Centauri, and trying to follow other civilizations…”
“Unless…”
The higher-ups of the Fire Fury Civilization’s fleet all had expressions of disbelief.
“Unless… in the neighboring star system, it’s not an invading fleet, but a native civilization?!”
“This…”
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
“If it’s a native civilization, how could they let two planets be so easily destroyed by an invading fleet?!”
“Right, logically, a civilization that has had two planets destroyed should have been the victorious hunter fleet…”
“It’s strange…”
Suddenly, someone thought of something and said incredulously, “Have you ever thought that those two planets could have been blown up by the native civilization themselves?!”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked and found it hard to imagine.
“Only this possibility can explain why, as a second-level civilization that should have deployed defensive structures throughout the star system, they could allow a hunting fleet to blow up two planets without being destroyed…” “This native civilization, they have some nerve!”
Everyone was shocked.
Although this possibility was somewhat beyond their imagination, logically, it was the only possibility.
“Yes, they dared to use their own home star system as bait, laying a trap for this kind of operation…”
“Wait, is it possible that the neighboring star system is not their home star system, but a battlefield they specifically selected for a major showdown?!”
“This…”
Once again, everyone was startled, and an indescribable emotion welled up.
“This civilization, they dare to do such a thing!”
“Yes, challenging all civilizations within a range of 1000 light-years on their own, that’s quite impressive…”
Being an expeditionary force, they naturally had a certain pride. But at this moment, they couldn’t help but feel admiration for the civilization within the solar system.
“No matter whether they succeed or not, this one act of theirs can definitely be recorded in the history books of our Fire Civilization…”
“Yes, it’s a pity we can’t know the name of this civilization…”
“The second stage of our battle plan is to ensure at least one warship can return successfully…”
“So, my idea is to send warships to the neighboring star system irregularly…”
“Those that can retreat in the shortest time are the best, those that can’t should self-destruct…”
Although he had watched the Star Beauty self-destruct with his own eyes.
Commander Kote wouldn’t rashly send all his fleets over there.
Instead, he would execute the second stage plan according to Luka’s idea.
That was to ensure at least one warship could return after crossing over.
To tell them the situation over there in person!
This plan also required significant sacrifices. According to the staff department’s calculations, it was necessary to sacrifice dozens, possibly hundreds of warships to possibly succeed.
“At this time, it’s all about attrition!”
“They only arrived before us, they are also a hunter fleet with limited forces, 1
don’t believe we will be worse off than them!”
