Chapter 525: Chapter 315: You Collapsed Before I Even Got Serious
“Haha, now this is interesting!” everyone laughed, “As long as the Maoshi Star Civilization doesn’t intervene themselves, any number of Star Thieves is just delivering food to us!”
Today’s skirmish greatly boosted their confidence.
At the beginning, everyone was very nervous facing unfamiliar civilizations, worried that the opponent’s strength might be overwhelming.
Now they realized not every civilization is as terrifying as the Zerg. The Goa Civilization, also a 2.4-level civilization, had warships that were as fragile as paper in front of them, destroyed with a single shot!
All colonial star systems of the Blue Star Civilization received new orders, requiring them to increase alertness and actively respond to Star Thieves.
On the Maoshi Star Union side, morale was low.
“Valen and Bell, two sub-light-speed battleships, just gone like that.” Several civilization governors discussed, and the governor of the Goa Civilization was particularly heartbroken.
These sub-light-speed battleships are not easily built, and it would be fine if they achieved results, but just a few minutes into the war, a report ca that they were destroyed!
The loss and outco were unacceptable to him!
“Is the Blue Star Civilization really this strong?” The governors of other second-level civilizations were also panicked. Initially, when they discussed dealing with the Blue Star Civilization, they did not believe. This skirmish made them realize the Blue Star Civilization was indeed not sothing they could contend with.
Ruger snorted coldly, “I warned you earlier to treat the Blue Star Civilization with caution.”
“The failure of this mission is due to the Goa Civilization’s greedy and reckless actions. If our fleets had attacked together, we could have captured their warships! We might even have acquired their technology!”
“Ruger, are you shifting the bla now?” The Goa Civilization’s commander was unconvinced and said, “You tacitly agreed during the attack!”
“Let’s drop the matter here!” Ruger directly changed the topic, as arguing further would yield no results even after years.
“Do we continue?” soone asked.
“Of course we continue!” Ruger said, “If we halt now, won’t the Blue Star Civilization run amok?”
“Today they dared to attack our starships, by tomorrow, they’ll dare to attack our territories!”
“We must teach them a lesson!”
“From now on, listen to unified command during actions, and only move when we have five tis as many warships as the enemy!”
“That’s the only way.” Everyone agreed.
…
This operation also served as a warning for He Xingzhou; neither the Star Trading Group nor the Orion Royal Court are benevolent entities. Once they confirm the Blue Star Civilization joins the opposition, they will attack!
“Warp speed warships and antimatter weapons, we need them faste!”
“For the induction ceremony decades from now, these two items must be present!”
He Xingzhou threw himself wholeheartedly into the research and developnt.
Through repeated experints and improvents, they have made significant progress in antimatter extraction and antimatter reactor control.
Once the antimatter factory on Jupiter is completed, there should be enough antimatter material for the warships.
“Antimatter reactor, first experint, start.” He Xingzhou had begun the trial of the antimatter reactor.
anwhile, in other star systems, Maoshi Star Union’s “Star Thieves” were also looking for opportunities.
They found that the Blue Star Civilization’s fleet was extrely cautious, never acting alone, and each star system had sub-light-speed battleships stationed.
Three more years passed, and He Xingzhou’s antimatter reactor can now successfully release energy, yet these people still hadn’t found an opportunity.
“We can’t continue like this, we need to hit big!” Ruger said, “The higher-ups are very dissatisfied with our lack of progress!”
As they continued failing to achieve results, and with the Blue Star Civilization growing closer to the Star Trading Group, the Maoshi Star Civilization governors issued an ultimatum, “Within 30 years, the Blue Star Civilization must be taught a painful lesson!”
“Within 30 years, how is that possible?” an affiliated civilization governor complained, “The Blue Star Civilization’s warships are indeed much stronger than ours.”
“Two years ago, our warship ran into them, and it wasn’t even a sub-light-speed battleship, it was just a Star Destroyer, and one shot almost took us out. Luckily, we had sub-light speed to escape; otherwise, we would have been done for!”
“Yes, and our respective civilizations can only deploy four or five sub-light-speed warships each, we really don’t have the confidence to attack them!”
“Each sub-light-speed warship built is extrely difficult and losing them would set back our civilization by many years!”
Building sub-light-speed warships was very challenging, so no one was willing to risk them in battle.
“You don’t need to worry!” Ruger said, “Aren’t the Blue Star Civilization’s warships stronger than ours?”
“The higher-ups have said, if we have the ability to capture their warships, the technology on board is ours!”
“And the main civilization will reward us too!”
Hearing this, everyone was motivated. They had witnessed the power of Blue Star Civilization’s warships, which were on a whole different level compared to theirs.
If they could capture their warships and conduct reverse engineering, their technological level would be significantly enhanced.
This ti, with the main civilization backing them, everyone was tempted.
“How do we proceed?” they asked Ruger.
Ruger said, “Since small-scale attacks don’t give us an advantage, let’s conduct a Star Thief grand raid!”
“A grand raid?”
“Yes, a grand raid!” Ruger unfolded the star map and said, “Based on our investigations, besides the Solar System, the most developed system of the Blue Star Civilization is the Proxima Centauri Star System.”
“They have transford Proxima Centauri b into a habitable planet and constructed planetary mines on other planets in the star system for resource extraction. They also have several research facilities there! They have invested a lot of effort into it!”
“But it’s only 4.22 light-years from the Solar System, they can support quickly!” soone pointed out.
“4.22 light-years?” Ruger sneered, “Have you been riding in the main civilization’s warp speed ships too much?”
“Even at light speed, it would take 4.22 years for support to arrive from the Solar System to the Proxima Centauri Star System, let alone they don’t have warp speed warships.”
“Do you think this war will last five or six years? By the ti their support arrives, we will have already razed their colonies!”
“But the forces stationed at Proxima Centauri aren’t small, at least three sub-light-speed warships!” another governor reminded.
“Then we’ll send fifteen!” Ruger said, “With five tis the strength, we can’t take down a single Proxima Centauri Star System?”
“Deploying fifteen sub-light-speed warships at once is enough to crush a second-level civilization!” Hearing his plan, several people agreed.
“Indeed, our joint action will greatly increase our chances of success!”
“The Blue Star Civilization will never expect Star Thieves to have such power!”
Ruger further said, “In this operation, our Bessel Civilization will lead, deploying six sub-light-speed warships, the rest are up to you.”
The Bessel Civilization was the strongest of the Maoshi Star Union affiliated civilizations, and since Ruger said this, other civilization governors had no objections.
“Alright, it’s decided!”
“Let’s conduct a grand raid and clean out all Blue Star Civilization’s resources in the Proxima Centauri Star System!”
“Let’s completely ruin the Proxima Centauri b ecosystem they built so they know who the boss is in this star domain!”
“Let’s move!” Governors returned to their civilizations and imdiately organized resources for combat.
It would take more than a decade for them to reach Proxima Centauri.
…
In the Blue Star Civilization domain, He Xingzhou was already celebrating the success of the first antimatter reactor.
“The power output of the antimatter reactor is tens of thousands of tis greater than that of a normal nuclear fusion reactor! Even if we don’t have warp speed warships for now, we can still build the highest performing sub-light-speed warships at 99% light speed!” said Xie Wu, the warship design commander.
“The highest performance sub-light-speed warship, but ultimately, they are still sub-light-speed warships, and they won’t make us a 2.5-level civilization!”
“From now on, let’s prepare to break through with warp speed engines!”
