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

The same starship, the same self-destruct.

Although this self-explosion did not cause any damage to the detector, it was like a slap, slapping it hard on the face.

While embarrassed and ashamed, an uncontrollable rage rose in its heart!

In its heart, the anger towards human civilization reached its peak!

Damn bugs!

"Commander." The little gray technician looked on as usual, and saluted the fleet commander respectfully.

"Technician, have you found the reason?!"

The conductor panted heavily and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this question, the little gray technician's expression changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "Not yet."

"you……"

Before the fleet commander's scolding sounded, it spoke again: "To be precise, we haven't found the reason."

"...you?" The commander's expression moved slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Although the status of these technicians in civilization is not high, it is not enough to do such a stupid thing to offend the entire group of technicians.

"Yes." The technician lowered his posture, "Dear Fleet Commander, none of the technicians found any problems in the past ten days."

"This can only show that in the field of computer software, the other party has far surpassed us."

"This is also normal, after all..."

"You also know that we do not belong to a civilization that develops normally."

The conductor didn't speak, just sat quietly in his seat.

It was full of shock!

how can that be!

A second-level civilization, in the field of computer software, actually surpassed a quasi-fourth-level civilization? !

It gritted its teeth fiercely, and its eyes were filled with coldness!

"Snapped!"

It raised its hand and slapped the console in front of it hard.

"Since that's the case, then I can't let them go!"

"Release all detectors!"

"Get ready to enter the state of curvature navigation again!"

"Even if I turn this one-light-year area upside down, I want to find this little secondary civilization!"

……

Human fleet.

"Professor, Xuannv No. 2 has been found."

Zero's voice sounded in the command center.

Lu Yongchang slowly opened his eyes, and whispered in a low voice: "Ten days..."

After pondering for a while, he untied the electromagnetic adsorption device on the chair, stood up and said, "Zero, tell everyone that from now on, always be prepared to deal with enemy attacks!"

"All fleet, maintain radio silence!"

"At the same time, activate the defensive formation!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zijie on the side was a little surprised.

"from now on?"

"Don't we have 15 baits left?"

"That's right." Lu Yongchang nodded vigorously, and repeated again, "From now on!"

"Otherwise, it may be too late."

Sensing the puzzlement in Zhao Zijie's eyes, he explained with a smile.

"Didn't you notice that the fleet has been sailing in a straight line since the last change of course?"

Zhao Zijie nodded: "I have noticed this."

"Professor, you probably want to save some energy?"

Lu Yongchang nodded, then shook his head again.

"It's half right."

"The fleet turns and consumes a lot of energy, which is part of the reason."

"And the most important reason is that we currently don't have the other party's location information."

"When the opponent has a higher navigation speed, if you turn blindly, it is likely to collide with the encirclement network of the opponent's detector."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang sighed and sat on his chair again.

"The bait is the tool we use to lead the opponent to other areas."

"But the problem is precisely here."

"Although these Xuannv No. [-] have turned around several times, they are all heading away from us no matter what."

"More than ten samples are enough for them to use this calculation to deduce the possible direction of the human fleet."

"therefore……"

"War has become a high probability event."

"It depends on when the other party reacts."

……

While the two were talking, the human fleet was quietly changing its formation.

One after another [Homeland Ships] approached [Earth].

Under Zero's control, the distance between each [Homeship Ship] rapidly narrowed until it remained on a warning line.

Meanwhile, the distance between the [Golden Crow] battleships expanded rapidly.

With [Earth] and [Homeship] as the center of the sphere, they slowly spread outward.

During the formation change, the fleet was in radio silence.

All information is transmitted by the ultra-distance communication device.

Chapter 356 Fighting wits and courage

Dazzling light once again lit up at both ends of the flagship.

"The gravitational field generator is ready."

"Spatial curvature bubbles are forming..."

The unwavering electronic synthesis sound resounded inside the flagship.

"and many more!"

In the command center, the shouts of technicians sounded.

"Curvature navigation countdown: 60...59..."

The electronically synthesized voice is still counting down in an orderly manner.

"Technician!" The little gray commander looked at the technician in front of him dissatisfied, "What do you want to do?!"

The technician raised his head and stared at the fleet commander for two seconds.

"Commander, I have a proposal."

"This can greatly reduce our search workload!"

The conductor remained silent, staring fixedly at the technician in front of him.

"10...9..."

The indifferent electronic synthesis sound still echoed in the cabin.

"Stop curvature sailing!"

The conductor reached out and pressed a button, and said in a deep voice.

"...Curvature Navigation Confirmation Stop."

"The gravitational field is stabilizing..."

The technician subconsciously glanced at the side porthole.

Outside the porthole, the originally distorted starlight gradually returned to normal with the sound of electronic synthesis.

The dazzling light at the head and tail of the flagship gradually dimmed.

At the moment before going into the curvature voyage, the little gray flagship is breaking away from the space curvature bubble.

"technician!"

The conductor became more dissatisfied when he saw the technician's actions, and his tone became a little irritable: "What are you looking at?!"

Hearing the commander's scolding, the technician quickly withdrew his gaze from the porthole, and responded respectfully.

"Commander, I suggest that we will do whatever we can."

"What do you mean?" The skin on the commander's face wrinkled into a ball.

"The other party hacked into our long-distance communication device and used it to send us false and wrong location information."

A gleam flashed in the technician's eyes: "And this is where our opportunity lies."

"Since the other party's civilization is only a second-level civilization, they must want to escape as soon as possible."

"And those baits must also move in a direction away from the other party's civilization."

"As long as enough samples are obtained, we can completely eliminate most of the wrong options."

"As for the possibility of the fleet turning midway..."

"Commander, I believe that for a second-level civilization, the energy is not enough to change the course at will!"

The wrinkles on the fleet commander's face gradually dissipated.

Instead, it was full of excitement.

"it is good!"

"Just do as you say!"

"If you successfully find the opponent's civilization, you will be credited for this battle!"

……

two months later.

Human fleet.

"Professor, this is the last bait ship."

Lu Yongchang shook his head helplessly: "The speed of the opponent is getting faster and faster."

"Forget it, since you've been discovered, let's blow ourselves up!"

"Roger that!"

……

The flagship of the Grays.

With a flash of white light, the bait ship on the screen exploded violently.

The conductor looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.

This is the 15th time it has seen the same scene.

After the explosion, it subconsciously turned its head to look at the screen aside, and began to wait for the siren to sound.
