It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Augustus's heart sank: "Is there a remedy?"

A Lyle shook his head: "It's difficult. It will take at least a month to change all the programs, and the defense equipment is basically equivalent to the decoration during this period."

"Your Excellency Augustus, why don't you think about my proposal again?" Levi's voice came from the communication device on the side.

"At present, this is the best solution for us."

"We can't keep doing this anymore."

"This will consume a lot of our strategic material reserves. In comparison, the opposite side only consumes a few shells."

Augustus' face changed several times, and he exhaled a long breath.

"Levi, tell me what you think in detail."

……

Over the next month, Proxima b was attacked by railguns from different directions.

Most of the planetary defense facilities in the orbit of Proxima Centauri were destroyed.

Fortunately, the Proxima civilization reserves enough resources to replace the destroyed forts in time, otherwise...

It is estimated that Proxima Centauri b will be plowed by saturation blows before the probe is completed!

Of course, this approach is also quite a burden on the human fleet.

From the beginning of the war to the present, they have already emptied the entire ship [Glutton] of supplies!

Thinking that only 99.6% of the war reserve was left, Lu Yongchang tearfully gave the order to continue the attack.

He wants to see how long this Proxima civilization can survive!

Not to mention the resources consumed by the constantly changing forts on the orbit of Proxima b, even the gradually deteriorating environment is enough for Proxima Centauri to drink a pot.

Although the genetic data sent by the Proxima civilization shows that they are extremely resistant to radiation, as the saying goes, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes!

……

After more than a month of intermittent shelling, the miniature "detector" that Levi called was finally manufactured.

On this day, dozens of starships took off from the surface, pierced the hazy sky, and flew straight into the orbit of Proxima Centauri b!

The disk-shaped starship with a diameter of more than one hundred meters "scattered" hundreds of millions of micro-probes on the periphery of Proxima b.

Driven by the tiny Hall thrusters, these probes will cover a 10AU area around Proxima b within a week.

……

the next day.

Lu Yongchang is preparing to order the fleet to conduct long-range bombardment of Proxima b in the distance as usual.

Suddenly, a rush of sirens interrupted his movements!

[Detection of an unknown signal source approaching! 】

When Lu Yongchang saw the warning in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang's face changed drastically!

"zero?!"

Zero's holographic image appeared instantly, and at the same time, a huge holographic projection flashing red light unfolded!

"Professor, there are a large number of signal sources in the direction of Proxima b, which are initially judged to be detectors. The number... 3672 have been found so far, update, 15803, update, 36709..."

The warning lights flashed rapidly, and the number of signal sources in the holographic projection was also rapidly increasing.

Now, the faces of everyone in the command center changed!

"Fuck!"

"Where did they get so many detectors?!"

Lu Yongchang pressed the fleet communication button in front of him: "Attention everyone, enter the deep sea mode immediately!"

"Release the silent state!"

"We've been discovered!!"

"The entire ship activates the active detection module, activates the Hall thruster, unlocks all weapon modules, and prepares for a strike!"

……

After a few minutes.

In the deep and dark universe, 501 extremely bright light spots suddenly lit up!

That is the Hall thruster of the human fleet running at full power!

At the same time, all starships have activated their active detection equipment!

At this moment, in the sight of the Proxima Centauri civilization, the human fleet is like a bright light, suddenly appearing in the dim background of the universe!

In the deep sea cabin.

The font in the holographic image became more and more bright red.

[Signal source distance: 1 kilometers! 】

[Signal source distance: 5000 kilometers! 】

[Signal source contact alert! 】

A string of bright red alerts flashed in front of everyone's eyes!

Lu Yongchang couldn't help holding his breath.

[Found the signal source! 】

As the last message was swiped, a 3D modeling image appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the extremely crude 3D model of the micro-detector in front of him, Lu Yongchang's face instantly turned ugly!

Chapter 270 Counterattack!against

cheated?

A terrible thought flashed through Lu Yongchang's mind.

In the deep-sea cabin, he could only give orders to Zero through the brain wave reading device.

'Zero, control the robotic arm to capture a probe! '

After receiving the order, Zero quickly controlled the [Earth] to approach the detector on the side.

When the distance between the two was close, a huge mechanical arm stretched out from the belly of [Earth], and grabbed the extremely small probe.

[Successful capture]

A reminder appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

'Zero, send it to the lab and take it apart to see what's inside. '

Lu Yongchang issued a second order.

……

After a few minutes.

The holographic projection screen in front of Lu Yongchang quietly changed.

The internal structure of the detector gradually emerged.

Although the construction methods are different and the shapes of the parts are slightly different, he still recognizes the various modules in the micro-detector.

A miniature Hall propulsion unit, a radio transceiver and an active detection unit similar to a radar.

The three main components were spliced ​​together to form a detector less than half a meter in size.

While Lu Yongchang was observing the structure, Zero also successfully completed the cracking work.

According to Zero's cracking, the radar-like device inside it cannot identify the type of object, and the radio transceiver device cannot transmit complex information.

Simply put, it's more of a beacon than a detector.

It sends a simple signal to Proxima b when larger objects appear nearby.

As for judging whether the large object is an enemy ship, an asteroid, or something else, it is completely beyond its ability!

After reading the detection results given by Zero, and then contacting the extremely large number of signal sources, Lu Yongchang's face became more and more ugly!

At that moment, he completely understood the opponent's tactics.

……

Proxima b.

Inside the Central Academy of Sciences.

Augustus paced back and forth in the observation room with a dignified expression.

It has been a whole day since the tiny detector was sent out.

"How is it, is there a result?"

There was impatience in his questioning voice.

An observer quickly shook his head: "Your Excellency Augustus, the probe did not return any useful data."

"Currently, we've only discovered a few asteroids."

Augustus's expression changed slightly, he exhaled forcefully, and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and irritability in his heart.

"Your Excellency Augustus, be patient." Levi's voice sounded from the communication equipment at the side, "Give those detectors some more time, and they will help us find the intruders."

"What if they weren't deceived?" Augustus said in a deep voice, "Levi, you also know how poor the quality of these detectors are!"

Speaking of this, Augustus paused slightly: "They can't even be called detectors!"

Levi shrugged, "That's fine."

"By the time the probes have finished covering, they will still be exposed to us."

"Whenever they move, our detectors send us a signal."

"What if it's an asteroid?" Augustus subconsciously questioned.

In the communication equipment, Levi's voice became more and more weird: "Is it an asteroid? Don't we know if we shoot it?"

Augustus fell silent.

After a long time, he exhaled a hot breath again: "I hope so!"

As soon as the words fell, a piercing siren rang through the entire Central Academy of Sciences!

"found it!"

The observer's high-pitched shout was full of excitement: "The other side has activated active detection!"

"They're moving!"

Augustus turned his head sharply to look at the monitor in front of the observer.

I saw a gigantic white dot appearing on the monitor!

【Distance: 0.95AU】

Augustus gritted his molars fiercely: "Cunning intruders, finally found you..."

"Levi, it's your job now!"

……

Proxima b, the dungeon.

After cutting off the communication, Levi stood up abruptly from his chair and walked towards the door.

"Father?"

Aquitas' voice came from the side.

Levi paused slightly.

He turned his head to look at his daughter, with a slightly stiff smile on the top of his thinking organ: "Aquitas, stay here obediently."

"Father..." Aquitas seemed to want to say something, her lips moved, and thousands of words finally merged into one sentence.

"be careful."
