Chapter 95: Zhao Yu’s Response

“Uncle Da, are all the spaceships following the plan?”
“Yes, according to your orders, all spaceships outside of Earth and Blue Moon are traveling at a speed of 10 Mach.”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and asked, “Has the spaceship near Jupiter slowed down?”
“It just slowed down…” Uncle Da hesitated for a moment and asked anxiously, “Commander, is what we’re doing really effective?”
“As long as they are intelligent beings, they will definitely have doubts. Buying some time can be helpful,” Zhao Yu replied. Then he continued, “Have you prepared the weapon list for the trade with Yuean City?”
“It’s ready. Except for the star destroyer cannon, which is difficult to control, all other weapons can be traded.”
“Good. You keep an eye on their every move here, and I will go to Yuean City.”
Near Pluto.
“Captain Moro, the preliminary analysis results are out.”
“Tell me!”
“The NB-1250 galaxy seems to have its origin near the third planet from the star as we move outward.”
“At this third planet, there are celestial canopies and ring defense systems.”
“Based on calculations, the planet has a mass of 5-965 trillion meters and a density of 552 tcraels. The atmospheric pressure is 23.”
“Compared to our home planet, it is about five times lighter. However, the beings there are expected to be larger in size.”
Before the words could fully sink in, a 35-centimcter-tall Glen man stood up angrily.
“Damn giants! Big brother, let me lead the army!”
Moro furrowed his brow and scolded, “Impatient fool! Know your place and don’t act rashly”
Startled, Miro immediately apologized and lowered his head, a look of discontent on his face.
Moro glanced at him and then turned to his subordinate, signaling him to continue.
“In addition to that, we have also discovered numerous spacecraft from the indigenous civilization…”
“According to gravitational wave measurements, the size of their spacecraft is quite large, with hundreds of ships measuring ten kilometers in length…”
“However, these ships have extremely slow speeds, only 2 nanogees.”
As soon as these words came out, Miro couldn’t help but interject, “Big brother, let me go. I only need a small team, and I will surely annihilate them!”
Moro became furious and slapped him, saying, “Have you forgotten the tragedy of Yuluo?”
Miro was taken aback and quickly admitted his mistake.
“Now, do you still want to go?”
“If you give me two small teams…”
“You fool! Have you not learned anything from the lessons of Yuluo? Now, tell me again!”
Miro looked around at the low-ranking individuals and felt embarrassed to speak up in front of so many people.
“Big brother, I know I was wrong. I’ll write it ten times when we return…”
“Now, tell me!” Moro showed no mercy, staring at him with his three eyes wide open.
Feeling ashamed, Miro had no choice but to reluctantly recount the story.
“In the year 8660 of Taixing Calendar, the Yuluo fleet set out from the star and annihilated two civilizations in just 20 years. With only one civilization remaining, they obtained the key to return to the mother star.”
“In the year 8695 of Taixing Calendar, after searching for 15 years, the Yuluo fleet finally found the last civilization. However, to their surprise, the enemy had disguised themselves as a third-level civilization and completely wiped out the attacking forces, leaving only one reconnaissance ship that activated a wormhole and escaped nearby.”
“After the reconnaissance ship escaped, it didn’t stop for a moment. It used all its means to shake off pursuit.”
“Finally, after five years, it arrived at the location where the Yuluo fleet had destroyed the first civilization.”
“Another five years passed, and the outer fleet of Taixing cautiously made contact with the remnants of the Yuluo fleet. That’s when the truth was revealed.”
“The lesson of Yuluo’s demise is that in crucial and critical moments, we must remain calm, steady, and persistent, so as not to fail at the last moment.”
Moro nodded and said, “Our current situation is remarkably similar to that of the Yuluo fleet.”
“Only through success can we become immortalized and return triumphantly to our home planet.”
“As for failure, we will become a lesson in the mouths of others, just like Yuluo.”
Upon hearing this, Miro didn’t take it seriously. “Big brother, we are different from Yuluo. Our weapons are much stronger now; they have been upgraded for many years, and we have abundant combat experience.”
“Nonsense!” Moro was enraged, his chest heaving. He said in a deep voice, “Miro, I don’t think you should go to the front line anymore. In this operation, I’m assigning you to the reconnaissance ship to guard the wormhole.”
“Big brother…” Miro was anxious and wanted to say more, but Moro silenced him with a reprimand. However, a look of disappointment appeared on Miro’s face.
Moro seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, “I am the only one who knows the location of Taixing. If we are defeated this time, after shaking off pursuit, the remaining fleet can head to the SN-7751 galaxy. It was the first civilization destroyed by our Moro fleet. When you arrive there, the outer fleet of Taixing will find a way to contact you.”
Thinking of the defeat in advance, Moro, who had only one brother, had to consider his brother’s future.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, Moro turned to his subordinate and said, “Continue. What other intelligence do we have?”
“Yes!”
The subordinate continued, “The fifth planet from the star in the stellar system is the largest planet. Prior to our exploration, dozens of ships happened to leave that planet and are now departing at a speed of 2 nanogees.”
“2 nanogees?” Moro squinted and asked, “What makes this planet special?”
“The planet is the largest in the stellar system, with a mass 63 times that of our home planet.”
“It has a rotation speed of 7.4. nanogees.”
“Based on calculations, a spaceship needs to reach a speed of 35 nanogees to leave that planet.”
“35 nanogees?”
Moro touched the antennae on his head and asked, “How advanced should be thruster be for a spaceship to reach a speed of 35 nanogees?”
“At least, it would require the combination of electromagnetic technology and third-generation nuclear fusion…”
“In terms of technological classification, it should be considered as a late-stage Level 1 civilization, approaching the level of Level 2 civilization…”
“Heh heh!”
Moro chuckled coldly, turned his head to look at Miro, and said, “Do you now understand where you went wrong?”
Miro immediately broke out in a cold sweat. A spaceship with a speed of 2 nanogees belonged to a technological level that had just entered the starry sky, not even reaching Level 1 civilization.
But a spaceship with a speed of at least 35 nanogees was already a late-stage Level 1 civilization.
“So, this indigenous civilization is at least a late-stage Level 1 civilization…”
Moro paused for a moment, then said seriously, “It might even be a disguised civilization…”
“No, this indigenous civilization is pretending to be at a certain level of civilization!”
“They have spaceships capable of reaching a speed of at least 35 nanogees, yet they make all their ships travel at a speed of 2 nanogees…”
“They are truly cunning!”
Moro believed that no one could have made so many responses in the short few seconds they emerged from the wormhole.
Therefore, this indigenous civilization must have been disguising themselves for a long time, pretending to be weak and deceiving fools like the Yuluo fleet.
“Fortunately, we discovered their spaceships just as they emerged from the fifth planet; otherwise, we would have fallen into their trap!”
Miro was drenched in sweat, feeling like he had just reclaimed his life.
Involuntarily, he related this experience to the tragedy of the Yuluo fleet and couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, should we retreat?”
“No, finding a space-faring intelligent civilization is too difficult. We’ve finally encountered one, and we can’t let it slip away. Continue the reconnaissance and find out the details of this indigenous civilization…”
“If they are too strong, we can retreat later!”
