Chapter 436: First Time with the Science Committee
If Andre could hear these people's conversation, he would definitely know that their guess was not wrong.
The Asteroid Sea is one of the experimental bases of these advanced civilizations, and they are just the mice used in this experiment.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Science Committee discovered this cluster of stars enclosed by asteroids during an accidental exploration. The researchers of the committee spread the seeds of humanity in various star systems in this cluster.
However, not long after spreading the seeds of civilization, the Science Committee withdrew all researchers and citizens in the Milky Way for hibernation.
After obtaining the authorization of the chairman of the committee, Commander Javian led ten asteroid-class frigates to fly towards the Asteroid Sea.
After passing through the "high speed" composed of dozens of wormhole channels and transfer stations, the fleet entered the star field where the transfer station lost contact.
The ten ships could only start normal hyperspace flight, and the abnormal fluctuations in hyperspace were also discovered by the detectors launched by the empire to various places around the star field.
After a piercing alarm, Li Mingze's consciousness came to the body of the capital of the empire.
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty, our detectors detected abnormal hyperspace fluctuations. Based on the direction of this fluctuation, we calculated that they were flying to the asteroid sea!" Tianyi's tone was a little panic.
Based on her calculation of the speed of the movement of this hyperspace fluctuation, the other party's technology is far superior to that of the empire.
You know, with the development of technology, if you want a breakthrough in one technology, then other aspects of technology must also make progress.
The same is true for hyperspace engines. Faster flight speeds mean that more powerful metals are needed to make engines, and it also means stronger energy concentrations, and reactors that can produce so much energy.
Such a strong reactor means that countless technologies need to be broken through.
So the opponent's hyperspace navigation speed also determines the opponent's civilization development speed. The universe is not an environment like the asteroid sea that can be biased.
"How many warships can be mobilized in our empire's home star field?" Li Mingze frowned.
"There are still two million Tiger Shark-class warships and 20 million alien warships left in our empire!" Tianyi closed his eyes and counted the data.
"Send out all the alien fleets to intercept!"
"I want to know who this fleet is!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth. He had already guessed that this fleet was probably the civilization of the so-called recorder.
His move to unify the asteroid sea must have alarmed the civilization of the recorder.
It is entirely possible that the other party sent out a fleet for inspection. He didn't know that the reason for the other party's arrival was also the destruction of the wormhole transfer stations.
A bunch of bad events piled up together was the reason for their coming.
"Yes, sir. The alien fleet has begun to mobilize. It is expected to intercept the enemy when they reach the border outpost of the fifth hexagram of our star field!" (According to the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, the plane coordinate system is called a quadrant, the three-dimensional coordinate system in space is called a hexagram, and the hexagram containing the positive semi-axis of the x-axis, the positive semi-axis of the y-axis, and the positive semi-axis of the z-axis is called the first hexagram, which is above the xoy plane and is determined in a counterclockwise direction. The parts below the first, second, third, and fourth hexagrams are called the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth hexagrams respectively.)
"Let me see who this fleet is." Li Mingze said solemnly, looking at the red dot that was constantly moving on the holographic screen in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the alien fleet has assembled in the star system where the target will jump out of hyperspace next time and is ready for battle.
"The enemy is expected to arrive in ten seconds!"
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"The enemy fleet has arrived!" With the observer's roar, ten five-kilometer-long silver spaceships appeared in the starry sky.
A compass and a protractor logo was revealed on the side of the spacecraft, and the words "Supreme Scientific Committee of Humanity" were sprayed next to the logo.
"Does this Supreme Scientific Committee of Humanity fit the character of the recorder who used the asteroid sea for experiments?" Li Mingze became more and more certain that the recorder was undoubtedly this civilization.
However, he did not notice that the words "Supreme Scientific Committee of Humanity" were sprayed in Chinese characters.
"Excuse me" Before Li Mingze finished speaking and sent it out, the fleet on the opposite side suddenly shot out tens of thousands of crescent-shaped beams, cutting millions of alien warships into several sections.
"Damn it! Fight back immediately!" Li Mingze did not expect that the other party would fight without declaring war, which made him hate it.
The remaining more than 10 million alien warships began to disperse and rushed towards the ten spaceships.
"Acid bomb attack!"
"Fire bone spur shells!" Although the alien fleet kept attacking the ten spaceships, the shields of the ten spaceships only slightly rippled.
"It's impossible to break their shield." Li Mingze was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the concentrated attack of tens of millions of alien warships could not break their shield.
"Your Majesty, the other side uses a special shield, which is specially designed for low-level civilizations."
"If any attack does not reach the endurance limit of the other side's shield in an instant, their shield will not be damaged."
"On the contrary, if it reaches the strength, it only takes one hit to shatter the shield."
"We can also make this kind of shield, but the upper limit of the shield is much lower than the ordinary shield we are equipped with."
"This makes them very vulnerable when facing battleships of the same level, but they are indestructible to lower-level civilizations." Tianyi suddenly appeared and explained.
"Can we make it too?" Li Mingze couldn't believe it. Why didn't he know that the empire still had this kind of technology?
"Because the technological level of the civilizations we encounter is similar to ours, this technology is not available..." Tianyi explained softly.
"Order the alien fleet to retreat. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." Li Mingze decisively gave the order to retreat.
The alien fleet that was fighting suddenly turned around and withdrew towards the outer reaches of the star system.
After destroying millions of alien warships, the Commission warship that had just finished charging seemed to feel that bullying the weak was really boring, so it stopped pursuing it and immediately entered hyperspace and disappeared into the universe.
Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief and could only withdraw the fleet deployed in the asteroid sea aside and wait for the opportunity to attack.
Before these warships arrived, he had to think of a way to deal with this fleet.
At this time, Commander Javian on the ten asteroid-class frigates sent a message back to the committee headquarters:
"The reason for the loss of contact at the transfer station has been discovered. There is a group of large space creatures occupying here, which may be a growing civilization..."
