On the enemy battleship, Bell was desperate. The battle was about to end before it even started. There was an unheard siren in his ears.
"The hull armor was severely damaged."
"The airtight cabin is damaged."
"The power cabin is damaged."
"The thrusters have been emergency shut down."
"Captain, we can't stand it anymore!" The crew members were already panicking. Some people rushed to the escape cabin and tried to escape in the escape spacecraft.
"We are finished, the enemy is too strong!" Bell was filled with bitterness. He originally thought he could win his first victory for the Pleiades, but who knew that he was tortured to pieces and killed in the first attack. This can no longer be described as embarrassing. It’s simply a massacre!
"Stop shooting, don't fight, it will explode again!" At this time, it was Li Cheng's turn to start worrying about his opponent.
After finally encountering an enemy, it would be a pity to just defeat them like this. Capturing them might yield some useful information.
The phaser ray main guns shut down and the Saturn III ceased its attack.
Bell's battleship was still damaged, but the emergency system was already functioning and it wouldn't explode for a while. Of course, they couldn't leave either.
"Listen, surrender immediately. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!" Li Cheng immediately dispatched a carrier-based aircraft formation to the opponent's location to capture the enemy.
Those who tried to escape in spaceships were destroyed by their light-speed weapons.
In front of the sublight speed battleship, the small escape spacecraft has no possibility of escaping!
The entire combat process was incredibly fast. With zero casualties, the Saturn III destroyed two enemy sublight speed warships and captured about half a million enemy troops.
Bell was not among them. He ended his life before the carrier-based aircraft arrived. In order not to reveal the information, he even completely destroyed his body.
Nowadays, with the technology of Blue Star Civilization, even if an organism has been dead for a period of time, as long as the brain cells are not completely necrotic, it can still read its memory!
Bell's approach did not achieve much, because his subordinates were not as loyal as he was.
"We are a fleet from the Goa civilization." Bell's adjutant Colm was locked in the interrogation room, and the brain wave receiving device was reading his brain information.
He himself was also telling their origins, "We are a fleet from the Goa civilization. The Goa civilization is a level 2.4 civilization and one of the four level 2.4 civilizations affiliated with the Pleiades."
"So, the Pleiades civilization gave you instructions to pretend to be star pirates and attack us?" He Xingzhou verified through the subspace communicator.
"Yes." Kom had no intention of hiding anything. The other party could read his brain anyway, so there was no point in deceiving him.
"The Pleiades civilization still showed its fox tail, and it really took action against us!" At this time, other commanders heard the news and had already joined the interrogation room.
Cui Weimin said: "There have been frequent warship activities in the Pleiades territory recently, and they must be doing this."
"Besides you, are there any other civilizations involved?" He Hongwei asked interrogatively.
"I'm just an adjutant, so I don't know the specific details." Kom said, "There should be other civilizations involved, because they say that you are very strong, and you probably won't have the advantage in fighting alone."
"Then how dare you ambush us today?" He Xingzhou asked.
Mentioning this, Kom was about to burst into tears and said: "We thought we were very strong, but we were not as strong as you first! Your battleships can match the warp-speed battleships in terms of defense and firepower!"
"This time we were two against one, and we were the first to attack, but we didn't gain an advantage. If I had known, we wouldn't be seeking death like this!"
After hearing his words, the commanders were speechless.
Luo An said in the private chat channel: "To be honest, I was worried when I heard about the attack. Who knew that the victory would be so smooth."
"The opponent is too weak, which makes me lose all interest!" Qiu Hong complained.
They continued to interrogate, but Colm's knowledge was limited and there was no more valuable information.
In the headquarters, everyone discussed this matter.
He Xingzhou said: "The Pleiades civilization wants to warn us. They let affiliated civilizations pretend to be star pirates to attack, which means that they don't want to go to war with us directly now, but they still have the intention to win over us."
"They are quite clever. They use force to deter us and prevent us from developing interstellar colonies and conducting interstellar trade." Lu Mei said, "Fortunately, our warships are strong enough. Otherwise, we would have lost a sublight speed warship just this time. In La The construction of the Kai star system will also be destroyed."
"This is definitely not an exception!" Cui Weimin said, "They should have other warships operating in other star systems. I have notified all star systems to enter a state of alert."
"The fleet sailing in the future must have at least one sub-light speed warship, and a star system must have at least two sub-light speed warships!" He Xingzhou said.
"In the face of their provocation, should we respond?" Luo An asked.
He Xingzhou thought for a while and said, "Not for now."
"After all, the Pleiades civilization is stronger than us. We don't have warp speed warships or anti-matter weapons yet. Once the Pleiades civilization personally comes to deal with us, we will be unable to bear the consequences."
"Yes, we are still in the period of being attracted by both sides and are still developing. There is no need to rush." He Hongwei agreed.
"However." He Xingzhou changed the topic and said, "Since the opponent is a star thief, it is understandable to eliminate the star thief."
"As long as star thieves are encountered within our territory, they will be destroyed or captured!"
"Haha, this is interesting!" Everyone laughed, "As long as the Pleiades civilization does not come to an end, no matter how many star thieves come, they will bring food to us!"
Today's encounter greatly enhanced their confidence.
At the beginning, everyone was very nervous when facing a strange civilization, worried that the other party would be too powerful.
Now I find that not all civilizations are as terrifying as the Zerg. They are also level 2.4 civilizations. The battleships of the Goa civilization are like paper in front of them, and they can be killed with one shot!
All colonial galaxies of Blue Star Civilization have received new instructions, requiring them to be more vigilant and actively deal with star thieves.
As for the Pleiades Society, their morale was dampened.
"Valen and Bell, these two sub-light speed warships are gone." The governors of several civilizations were discussing, and the governor of the Goa civilization was even more distressed.
This sub-light speed battleship is not something that can be built just because it is built. If the results are good, it is okay, but within a few minutes of the war, they were reported to have been destroyed!
He couldn't accept this loss and result!
"Is the Blue Star Civilization really that strong?" The other second-level civilization governors were also flustered. When they first discussed how to deal with the Blue Star Civilization, none of them believed it. This encounter made them realize that the Blue Star Civilization was still It's really not something they can deal with.
Luger snorted coldly: "I have long said that you should be cautious when dealing with Blue Star Civilization."
"This mission was defeated by the Goya Civilization's greed for credit. If we unite our fleets to attack together, we can directly capture the battleships of the Blue Star Civilization! Maybe we can also obtain their technology!"
"Ruger, are you blaming the blame now?" The commander of the Goya Civilization was dissatisfied and said, "You also acquiesced in the attack!"
"This matter has been revealed!" Luger directly dropped the topic. If the quarrel continued, there would be no result in the quarrel for several years.
"Are we going to continue?" someone asked.
"Of course we must continue!" Ruger said, "If we stop here, wouldn't Blue Star Civilization be unscrupulous?"
"If they dare to attack our starship today, they will dare to attack our territory tomorrow!"
"They must be taught a lesson!"
"When you take action in the future, you must obey the unified command. There must be at least five times the enemy's warships before action is allowed!"
"This is the only way." Everyone said.
…
This operation also sounded the alarm for He Xingzhou. Neither the Star Trade Group nor the Orion Royal Court are good people. Once it is confirmed that Blue Star Civilization has joined the opponent, they will attack!
"Warp speed battleships, anti-matter weapons, and even faster!"
"These two things must be included in the initiation ceremony in a few decades!"
He Xingzhou devoted himself wholeheartedly to research and development.
After repeated experiments and improvements, they have made a lot of progress in the extraction of antimatter and the control of antimatter reactors.
When the antimatter factory on Jupiter is completed, there should be enough antimatter raw materials for warships.
"Anti-matter reactor, first experiment, started." He Xingzhou has already begun to experiment with anti-matter reactors.
In other star systems, the "star thieves" of the Pleiades Society are also looking for opportunities.
They discovered that the fleet of Blue Star Civilization was already very cautious and never acted alone. There were sublight speed warships stationed in every star system.
Three more years have passed, and He Xingzhou's antimatter reactor has been able to successfully release energy, but these people have not yet found a chance.
"This can't continue like this, we are going to do something big!" Luge said, "The adults are very dissatisfied with our actions!"
They have not achieved results yet, and Blue Star Civilization is getting closer and closer to the Star Trade Group. The Archon of the Pleiades Civilization issued a death order to them, "Within thirty years, Blue Star Civilization must be taught a painful lesson! "
"How can this be done within thirty years?" A governor of a subordinate civilization complained, "The battleships of Blue Star Civilization are indeed much stronger than ours."
"Two years ago, our warship encountered them. It was not a sub-light speed warship, but a Star Destroyer. It almost killed us with one shot. Fortunately, we had sub-light speed and they did not catch up. Otherwise we will definitely lose it!”
"Yes, we each have only four or five sub-light speed warships that we can dispatch. We really have no confidence in attacking them!"
"These are the trump cards of our civilization. If they are played out at once, if they are damaged, civilization will go back for many years!"
For them, it is very difficult to build every sublight speed warship, and no one is willing to lose it in battle.
"Don't worry!" Luger said, "Aren't the battleships of Blue Star Civilization stronger than ours?"
"The adults have already said that if we have the ability to capture their warship, the technology on it will be ours!"
"And the main civilization will also give us rewards!"
When he said this, everyone took action. They have seen the battleships of the Blue Star Civilization, but their power is not on the same level as theirs.
If they can obtain their warships and conduct reverse engineering research, their technology will be greatly improved.
This time there was the support of the main civilization, and everyone was moved.
"So what do we do?" they asked Ruger.
Luger said: "Since we can't take advantage of a small-scale attack, let's carry out a large-scale star thief robbery!"
"The Great Plunder?"
"Yes, it's a great plunder!" Luger unfolded the star map and said: "According to our investigation, apart from the solar system, the most developed star system of the Blue Star civilization is the Proxima Centauri star system."
"They transformed Proxima Centauri b into a habitable planet, and other planets in the star system have also built planetary mines for resource extraction. There are also many scientific research facilities of the Blue Star Civilization there! They have invested a lot of effort there!"
"But it's only 4.22 light-years away from the solar system. They will be able to provide support soon!" someone said.
"4.22 light years?" Luger sneered, "Have you ridden on civilization's warp speed ship too many times?"
"Even at the speed of light, it would take 4.22 years to support the Proxima Centauri star system from the solar system, not to mention they don't have warp speed warships yet."
"Do you think this war can last five or six years? By the time their support arrives, we will have wiped out their colony long ago!"
"The force stationed on Proxima Centauri is not small, at least three sub-light speed warships!" Another consul reminded.
"Then we will send fifteen ships!" Luger said. "With five times the power, we still can't take down a Proxima Centauri star system?"
"Fifteen sublight-speed battleships dispatched at one time are enough to wipe out a second-level civilization!" After hearing his plan, several people agreed.
"Yes, if we act together, our chances of winning will be much higher!"
"Blue Star Civilization would never have thought that Star Thieves could be so powerful!"
Luger even said: "In this battle, our Bessel civilization will be the vanguard and send out six sub-light speed warships. You will take care of the rest."
The Bessel Civilization is the strongest civilization among the civilizations affiliated with the Pleiades Civilization. Since Ruger has said so, the governors of other civilizations have no objections.
"Okay then, it's decided!"
"Carry out a great looting and loot all the resources of the Blue Star civilization in the Proxima Centauri star system!"
"Completely scrap the Proxima b ecosystem they built and let them know who is the boss in this star field!"
"Let's act separately!" The archons returned to their own civilization and immediately prepared resources to prepare for war.
It would take more than ten years for their civilization to reach Proxima Centauri.
…
In the territory of Blue Star Civilization, He Xingzhou is already celebrating the first antimatter reactor.
"The energy output of an antimatter reactor is tens of thousands of times that of an ordinary nuclear fusion reactor! Even if we don't have warp speed warships for a while, we can still build the highest-performance sublight speed warships at 99% of the speed of light!" Warship designer Ship commander Xie Wu said.
"The highest performance sub-light speed warship is only sub-light speed after all!" He Xingzhou said, "As long as we cannot transcend the limit of the speed of light, we will never become a level 2.5 civilization!"
"From now on, prepare to break through the warp drive!"
