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

The second group, drive in the direction of the signal.

……

Sitting in the command center, Lu Yongchang frowned slightly as he looked at the unchanged holographic image.

It has been a year since the probe was captured.

During this year, everything was calm.

Not only did no unknown advanced civilization strike, even the probe that was captured in Xuannv No. [-] did not send any abnormal signals.

to be frank.

If it wasn't for the fact that the ultra-distance communication device in the zero-determination detector was still working, Lu Yongchang even suspected that he had been fighting wits with the air this year!

Looking at the star system Gliese 555 that was getting farther and farther away from the fleet in the star chart, he sighed deeply.

"I don't know where the other party is now..." A trace of worry flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

At the beginning, Lu Yongchang wanted to detect the location of the opponent's civilization through the captured detectors.

Unfortunately, no success.

The other party's degree of caution far exceeded his imagination.

Even if the intrusion has all the permissions of the detector, Zero still cannot obtain any intelligence about the enemy fleet.

Over the past year, humans have been fully prepared for battle.

but!

Until now, Lu Yongchang is still not sure where the first attack will come from, and even, he is not sure when this attack will come!

This faint sense of panic lingering in my heart is undoubtedly the most tormenting.

It will continuously wear down the mentality and fighting will of soldiers.

In addition, there is a more important problem.

energy!

For the entire fleet, every acceleration, deceleration, and turn will consume an extremely large amount of energy.

Although the interstellar navigation technology of the human fleet is relatively mature, and the energy reserves are relatively abundant.

But procrastinating like this is not an option!

Lv Yongchang glanced at Zhao Zijie, who had a gloomy face, and shook his head lightly.

"Zijie, you have to adapt to this situation."

"The time span of interstellar war must be far beyond your imagination."

"As the strategic commander of the fleet, you can't show such impatience."

Hearing this, Zhao Zijie's expression changed slightly.

Thinking of a series of possible adverse effects in the future, Zhao Zijie couldn't help sweating from behind.

He quickly adjusted his sitting posture and adjusted the gloomy expression on his face.

Then, he said solemnly, "Professor, I understand."

Lu Yongchang glanced at Zhao Zijie's sitting posture and expression, and nodded with satisfaction.

Before he could speak, a shrill alarm sounded.

Lu Yongchang's expression moved slightly, and he quickly turned his head to look at the holographic projection.

When he saw the holographic image with red light flashing around him, instead of panicking, his face was filled with relief like a heavy burden!

finally come!

"Attention everyone!"

Lu Yongchang reached out and turned on the microphone in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get ready for the first contact!"

……

"Little Grays" Fleet.

Having experienced countless interstellar wars, large or small, the "Little Grays" have an extremely deep understanding of the role of the flagship.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This sentence is also applicable to the flagship.

But correspondingly, every time the flagship plays head-on, it means that the battle has entered a critical node.

Or about to win, or face failure.

Under the control of the "little gray men", the huge flagship has long been out of the state of curvature sailing.

At this moment, they are less than 0.01 light-years away from the source of the signal.

And what they need to do is to wait quietly for the reports from the two groups of detectors.

Once the location of the starship of the opponent's civilization is confirmed, the fleet of "little gray men" will swarm up!

As for the role of the flagship...

In the eyes of these "little gray men", it is just an insurance to hold the line and prevent unexpected situations.

After all, a mere second-level civilization, facing their fleet, what resistance can it have?

Thinking of this, the "little gray man" headed by the command center showed an extremely distorted smile on his face.

……

【Earth】command center.

In the holographic projection with flashing red light, it is Xuannv No. 1.

In No. 1 Xuannv, there is no detector captured by humans.

On the contrary, it is only loaded with perfect full-band detection equipment and huge plasma bombs.

Under Zero's operation, the detector, which was constantly sending signals, successfully delivered false information to the other civilization.

It stands to reason that if the plan is successful, one should be happy.

But looking at the data sent back by the full-band detection equipment, Lu Yongchang's expression was particularly dignified.

He frowned tightly, and there was not even the slightest smile on his face.

"The maximum sailing speed is 35% of the speed of light..."

He muttered to himself: "Trouble..."

Such a high speed of navigation not only means that human civilization cannot escape in front of it, but also means that the technology of the other civilization is far more advanced than human beings!

The picture in the holographic projection confirms the former.

In the No. 1 Xuannv's camera, hundreds of detectors with a size of only a few meters easily caught up with it.

Lu Yongchang moved his fingers slightly and wrote down several key information.

Hall propulsion device, 35% of the speed of light...

As the detector kept approaching, he suddenly froze.

"This……"

"How could this be?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of doubts, and he muttered to himself.

Not only Lu Yongchang, but also everyone present in the command center exclaimed a few times.

There is no other reason.

These high-speed detectors have different styles!

Spherical, square, even butterfly...

It can be called the site of the Starcraft Appearance Design Awards!

However, these detectors of various shapes have a common feature—the surface of all the detectors looks dilapidated!

He even discovered that there was a huge black pit on the surface of a butterfly detector.

It's like... being bombarded by a kinetic energy weapon!

"They... just finished the war?" Lu Yongchang swallowed and murmured in a low voice.

"There is a certain possibility." Fang Xu took over Lu Yongchang's words, "Perhaps, the other party belongs to an Interstellar Alliance organization."

Lu Yongchang silently looked at the detector that was getting closer and closer to Xuannv No. 1, and the doubts in his eyes seemed to overflow!

Star League?

Although [Hua] once said, the dark forest is not the only law of civilization in the universe.

But... even after seeing this hodgepodge scene with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it.

Just what he saw, there are no less than 20 styles!

When did the alliance between multiple civilizations become so simple?

Chapter 354 Self-Explosive Decoy

"call……"

Lu Yongchang breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed his doubts in his heart, and gave the order.

"Zero, let Xuannv No. 1 explode herself."

"At the same time, transfer the location signal to Xuannv No. 2."

"Roger that!"

After hearing Zero's response, Lu Yongchang slowly closed his eyes.

Closing his eyes, a dazzling white light flashed through the holographic projection.

Xuannv No. 1 was reduced to ashes by the extremely powerful plasma bomb.

Several detectors that had just approached were affected by the aftermath of the explosion, and their armor was instantly pierced by the high-temperature plasma flow.

……

Inside the "Little Gray Man" flagship.

A piercing alarm sounded.

The little gray man at the top glanced indifferently at the screen in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's bait."

"Forget it, it's just a few worthless detectors, if you destroy it, just destroy it."

Saying that, the little gray man turned his gaze to the holographic projection on the side.

Over there, is the picture sent back by another group of detectors going the same way.

In the picture, the square Xuannv No. [-] is quietly driving in the void universe.

But the strange thing is that there is no starship next to this Xuannv II.

The little gray man's face was a little ugly, but his expression was still calm: "It's still a smart civilization."

"Prepare to release all detectors."

"They can't escape..."

Before he could finish speaking, another siren sounded.

Hearing the familiar siren, the little gray man was stunned.

It jerked its head to look at the side screen.

When it saw the new signal source, it finally couldn't hold back.

"what happened?!"

"Why is there another signal?!"

"technician!"

"Come on! Pull me the technician!"
