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

Tao Yuda in the distance froze when he heard this.

"Professor, let's just say, is it possible that the problem lies with Zero?"

Lu Yongchang: "..."

【Painting】The sentence at that time resurfaced in his mind again.

Could it be... is there really no problem?

Lu Yongchang's face was a bit weird, and he waved his hand to change the topic: "Don't worry about this, wait for these detectors to get close, and shoot them all for me."

"Remember to try to leave me a complete one."

Chapter 359 Misunderstanding

【Earth】in the command center.

In the holographic projection, the remaining 16 detectors circled a large circle and launched an "attack" on the human fleet again.

The result can be imagined.

Under the obstruction of [Golden Crow] battleships, these probes were successfully reduced to pieces of space junk.

Except for one detector.

It was lucky to "dodge" the fate of being turned into space junk--it was successfully captured.

This detector, which looks full of technology, is quietly staying in the Xuannv No. [-] cabin.

With the cooperation of several robots, the communication equipment in the detector was quickly dismantled.

In the [Earth], Lu Yongchang was concentrating on issuing orders to Zero.

As for Ling, he controls the robot to perfectly execute Lu Yongchang's orders.

The detector was dismantled bit by bit, and the various devices inside were also exposed to everyone.

"This……"

Lu Yongchang looked at the picture in front of him, and was a little speechless for a while.

"how so……"

The internal structure of the detector is not complicated, even a little crude.

The technological content of most of these devices is not even comparable to the detectors made by humans!

This appearance full of sense of technology, this extremely powerful mobility...

Shouldn't this be an advanced detector made by the other civilization? !

But why is there such a tattered thing under the glamorous appearance? !

Lu Yongchang sat on the chair with a livid face, and took a deep breath.

Although there was a feeling of being played by a high-level civilization, he thought about it again, and his depressed mood suddenly eased a lot.

At least, there are still some things worth learning about this detector.

power.

Like human civilization, this scientific and technological detector also uses a Hall propulsion device and a fusion reactor.

Unlike human civilization, their Hall propulsion device adopts a new type of architecture.

Coupled with more energy-efficient fusion reactors...

With these two technologies alone, human civilization has made a lot of money.

However, this also brought new doubts to Lu Yongchang.

"Could it be...the other party has just stepped into the third-level civilization?"

Otherwise, he couldn't find the reason why the other party did so.

Only fleets that have just entered the third level of civilization will use some old facilities as consumables.

Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of confusion.

After thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly: "Forget it."

"Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to prepare for the battle as soon as possible."

……

The flagship of the Grays.

The sirens sounded one after another.

The conductor, the little gray man sitting at the top, had already stood up from his chair.

It was short of breath, and its pupils trembled slightly, looking at the big screen in front of it.

"what happened!"

"Why can the other party discover our detector?!"

"Aren't they a second-level civilization?!!"

The commander's sharp voice echoed in the flagship.

At the same time, its sinister gaze slowly swept across the crowd.

The technicians who were in charge of evaluating the other party's civilization level lowered their heads one after another.

Embarrassment and doubt flashed on every little gray man's face.

"Technician No. 126!"

"Tell me, what is going on!"

Seeing that no one answered, the conductor couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and directly called the names.

A look of hesitation that was visible to the naked eye flashed across the face of the technician who was pointed.

It raised its head in bewilderment, and met the commander's cold gaze.

Technician No. 126 trembled violently.

"But, maybe we made a mistake in our assessment..."

It considered its words, and explained carefully: "The data samples we got are too few, so mistakes will inevitably occur..."

"Then what level of civilization do you think the other party belongs to?" The commander's face became more and more gloomy.

The damage caused by the technicians' wrong assessment is not important.

If the opponent belongs to the real fourth-level civilization, then their early actions are tantamount to seeking their own death!

"..."

Technician 126 did not immediately answer the command's questions.

After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Level three!"

"There are only three levels at most!"

"They can never be a fourth-level civilization!"

"Otherwise, we should have been caught out long ago!"

"I believe that no civilization can tolerate this level of provocation!"

The conductor didn't express his opinion, just sat quietly on the chair, staring blankly at the big screen in front of him.

On the screen, the signal of the last detector also disappeared.

a long time.

Thinking of the current state of the fleet, a ruthless look flashed in the commander's eyes.

"Except for the probe."

"All starships are heading to the target star field!"

"Our incomplete technological system will be perfected!"

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

"Let's go in front of each other!"

……

A month later.

Human fleet.

During this month, everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme.

Even, in order to detect the enemy one second earlier, the human fleet completely gave up hiding and directly turned on the most powerful active detection equipment.

but……

A full month of detection and scanning.

No trace of an enemy was found.

Not even a single detector was found!

Lu Yongchang, who was sitting in the command center, was full of exhaustion in his eyes.

He habitually raised his head and glanced at the holographic projection directly in front of him.

As usual, an incomparably empty cosmic space.

On the star map on one side, the distance between the human fleet and the Gliese 555 star system is further away.

"I really don't know what they are doing..."

"Isn't it just that a few detectors were destroyed, so I was scared away?" He muttered to himself, the doubt and fatigue in his eyes became more and more intense.

Fortunately, this month's time is not nothing.

After a month of "explosive liver", the next generation of fusion reactors and Hall thrusters also have some eyebrows.

With a stable development environment, the interstellar navigation capabilities of the human fleet will be further improved!

At that time, the protective cover technology should also be put on the research and development agenda.

Human civilization will also enter the threshold of the third-level civilization!

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Just as Lu Yongchang's thoughts gradually diverged, a piercing siren accompanied by a flashing warning light pulled his thoughts back!

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the star map directly in front of him.

Dense white highlights.

"..."

Lu Yongchang's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously held his breath!

how come……

How could there be so many starships? !

……

5AU away from the human fleet.

Countless starships with dilapidated surfaces and different styles slowed down and sailed slowly towards the target.

When all the starships arrived at the target position, an order from the flagship appeared in front of all the gray men.

attack!

The moment the order appeared, long flames spewed out from the tail of each starship!

Like pirates, they accelerated crazily and rushed towards the human fleet that was 5AU away!

Chapter 360 Mobile Laser Array

The long and persistent siren sounded in every starship of the human fleet!

In just 10 minutes, everyone got into their own deep-sea cabins.

The human fleet, at this moment, has truly entered a state of war!
