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

The atmosphere in the office is extremely dignified.

Just now, the People's Federation Fleet Academy of Sciences launched the latest communication with them.

In the communication, they learned the current situation of the fleet.

When they knew that the human fleet was being targeted by the eighth-level sweeper civilization, both of them were extremely worried.

When they heard that the fleet was about to start the hibernation procedure and would leave Gliese 555 five years later and be forced to flee to a star system farther away in search of a way out, both of them fell silent.

"Human...it's too difficult." Zhang Zhengqing pursed his lips and sighed forcefully.

Ren Feng didn't speak, just sat quietly on the chair, his eyelids drooped slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking.

suddenly.

"Zhengqing, how much hope do you think we have?"

Ren Feng didn't raise his head, but asked selfishly: "I don't think there is any hope, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhengqing sighed again.

This sigh made Ren Feng's heart tremble slightly.

"Almost zero." Zhang Zhengqing said softly, "Materials are scarce, and internal conflicts have not been resolved..."

"More than 100 years ago, we completely lost the opportunity to go out of Proxima b and go to the starry sky."

"Even with theoretical help from the United Fleet Academy of Sciences, theory is theory after all. What we need most now is not theory."

Ren Feng nodded silently.

indeed.

After hundreds of years of hard work, he has also thoroughly recognized the reality.

All the problems of Proxima b are rooted in insufficient resources.

Ren Feng turned his head to look at the window beside him.

Outside the window is a lifeless world.

He slowly closed his tired eyes, flashing in his mind the memories of hundreds of years ago, not long after the human fleet left.

The scenes that happened in the Proxima Centauri holographic theater once again emerged in his mind.

A tear rolled down his wrinkled face.

"……I'm tired."

Ren Feng's voice made Zhang Zhengqing tremble slightly.

"Zhengqing, I have an idea."

Ren Feng slowly opened his eyes, and in his slightly cloudy pupils, a light that he hadn't seen for a long time flashed.

……

Two years later.

The earth calendar is 2505 years.

The Gliese 555 star system has become very deserted in the past two years.

Around Dawn Star, a large number of human fleets stopped quietly in the dead space.

Through the window of the starship, you can occasionally see the flashing lights, but most of the time, the space inside the window is extremely dim.

It was as if there was no one in these starships.

But if you turn your attention to the huge spaceport and starship factory, you can see a completely different scene.

Huge machines and robots of various shapes are working in full swing.

Various types of starships automatically enter the port and then leave on their own.

Under Zero's control, various restoration work and manufacturing are underway in an orderly manner.

Zoom out.

The star gold mining factory on the ice giant is running automatically.

Near the main star Gliese 555, huge Dyson clouds are quietly absorbing energy, converting it into antimatter and storing it in the corresponding area.

Zoom out further.

Outside the star system of Gliese 555, a large number of detectors have surrounded the entire star system.

Human civilization at this time is like a frightened bird.

……

It is 555 light-years away from the star system Gliese 0.1.

Following a burst of strong fluctuations, a fleet appeared in the empty universe.

Located inside the flagship in the central area of ​​the fleet.

A number of extremely tall and thin intelligent creatures are busy working in it.

They come from the Bossa star 20.16 light-years away.

"Commander, we are here."

A Bothan spoke an extremely obscure language in a high-pitched voice.

If someone else hears it, they will be surprised to find that this language is extremely similar to the language used by the Sweeper civilization.

After a while.

An equally thin voice sounded.

"Gliese 555..."

Looking at the picture in the holographic projection, Commander Bosa murmured softly: "A small fourth-level civilization..."

"It will attract the Lord's attention..."

As he said that, his face twisted slightly, and there was a trace of extremely crazy jealousy in his eyes.

It raised its two pairs of extremely slender hands, and drew a standard circle in front of its body. At the same time, it showed an extremely fanatical expression on its face.

"Oh God……"

"Bosa Civilization will become your most loyal believer!"

After the words fell, Commander Bosa's voice suddenly became louder:

"fleet!"

"Full speed ahead!"

……

"drop!"

A piercing siren sounded in 【Earth】.

At the same time, the holographic projection in the command center automatically lights up.

Lines of text slowly emerged on it.

[Detection of an unknown fleet! 】

[Fleet size is being judged...]

[Level I warning! 】

[Start the wake-up procedure! 】

In the next moment, the interior of all starships was as bright as day!

Chapter 543 Stick Insects?

【Earth】command center.

Because they had just woken up from hibernation, everyone's faces were slightly pale at this time.

"Zero, where are they?"

The situation was urgent, Lu Yongchang asked directly without any nonsense.

In the next second, a picture appeared in the holographic projection directly in front of him.

The content of the picture comes from a probe set up on the outskirts of the Gliese 555 star system.

Accompanied by the ear-piercing siren of the active detection device, in the dark universe, one after another, stronger or weaker lights flicker.

This is the light from the enemy fleet.

The next moment, an interstellar flare was fired.

Under the powerful light of the flares, an extremely huge fleet slowly appeared from the dark deep space.

Looking at this oppressive scene, Lu Yongchang couldn't help frowning.

"How arrogant!" Fang Xu expressed Lu Yongchang's inner thoughts, "They didn't turn off the active detection radar!"

Lu Yongchang nodded solemnly.

Really arrogant!

To describe the behavior of the opposing fleet in a more figurative way, it is shouting: "Dude! Wait for me! I'm going to fuck you!"

With the light of the flares, the complete image of the huge fleet appeared in front of everyone.

Every starship in the fleet is a similar shape - an ellipsoid.

Of course, if you observe carefully, there are still some differences between these starships.

The closer to the outer starship, the larger the oblateness of the ellipsoid, and the closer to the central region, the smaller the oblateness of the ellipsoid.

In simple terms, the outer starships are flatter, while the central starships are closer to a sphere.

The flagship in the most central area, like the probes of the Sweeper civilization, has almost become a standard sphere.

But it obviously cannot be compared with the detectors of the Sweeper civilization.

The surface of this starship is pitted - all kinds of weapons and equipment are mounted on its surface like this.

In addition, at the tail of these ellipsoids, the light of the propeller is shining.

This creates an extremely strong sense of disobedience.

"...Dong Shi imitates?"

Lu Yongchang frowned, and murmured in a low voice: "How do you feel that the style of these starships is a bit like the probes of the Sweeper civilization?"

"I have the same feeling." Fang Xu nodded in agreement, "It's just that the technological level of this civilization has not yet reached that level."

"It's a bit like taking pictures of cats and tigers."

"Yes." Lu Yongchang carefully checked the data sent back by the detector, "Like us, they use anti-matter engines."

"The detector detected a large amount of high-energy gamma rays."

"Zero, did the other party respond to our communication request?"

The electronic synthesizer sounded: "There is no response yet."

As soon as Zero's voice fell, the picture in the holographic projection disappeared instantly, leaving only a few large characters.

[Connection interrupted]

"Zero?" Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly, and he shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, Zero gave an answer: "Professor, the detector has been attacked."

"The visitor is not good!"

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked at Zhao Zijie beside him.

Zhao Zijie understood instantly, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Attention all units, prepare to fight!"

"Anti-matter railgun, prepare for salvo!"

"3, 2, 1..."
