[Number of civilizations currently opening the prestige progress bar: 22]

[Prestige: 300]

[Current technology available for exchange: none]

[Modou Civilization (Level 3): 0.0000001%]

[Glenn Civilization (Level 2): 0.000001%]

[Fire Fury Civilization (Level 2): 0.000001%]

[..]

[Mihui Civilization (Level 1): 3.3% (1% node activated, gained 100 prestige.)]

[Boat Paper Civilization (Level 1): 2.6% (1% node activated, gained 100 prestige.)]

[Sky Bat Civilization (Level 1): 4.5% (1% node activated, gained 100 prestige.)]

What surprised Zhao Yu was that the first to activate the prestige nodes were three level 1 civilizations.

In total, they provided him with 300 prestige points. Unfortunately, 300 prestige still didn’t have any technologies available for exchange.

Next to him, Colonel Chu, who was discussing the war plan, noticed that Zhao Yu seemed lost in thought and paused.

Zhao Yu came back to himself and asked, “Where were you in the explanation?”

“I was discussing the range of the gravitational waves…”

Colonel Chu continued, “1 used the gravitational wave detector to observe the nearest neighboring star system and found that objects with a diameter less than 50 kilometers are basically invisible…”

“This means, even if an alien fleet goes to a nearby star system, they can only see objects in the solar system with a diameter larger than 50 kilometers…”

“Our motherships are larger than 50 kilometers, I suggest we hide all the motherships on natural celestial bodies and avoid exposing them early on…”

Zhao Yu nodded. In the base, besides the motherships, all other battleships were less than 50 kilometers long and thus not within the enemy’s detection range.

“Next, we can set up a laser defense system outside the wormhole. Any fleet that comes through the wormhole can be intercepted here…”

“We can build several sets of such laser systems around the wormhole, at least nine sets, to ensure that each civilization’s fleet can receive our welcome service…”

“We can place a backup laser defense system a million kilometers away to prevent a desperate enemy from destroying all of our defensive facilities with a suicide attack…”

“Our laser defense system has a maximum effective range of 300,000 kilometers and a minimum effective range of 30,000 kilometers, which is much less than the range of a Particle Singularity Collapse Bomb…”

“So, each set of laser defense system is essentially disposable. One time usage…”

“It takes 25 days to travel from here to the wormhole. The round trip time is too long. My suggestion is to set up a new military base on the debris from Pluto’s explosion near the wormhole for the production of base points and other defense facilities…”

Colonel Chu’s explanation was comprehensive and detailed, covering preparation for war, combat, and escape after defeat.

After listening, Zhao Yu was very satisfied. He asked a few more details to make sure he couldn’t come up with a better plan than the staff. He accepted all of Colonel Chu’s suggestions and started to execute them.

Soon, the plan was put into action.

The first to move were the tens of thousands of transport ships, carrying 8 billion people from Earth. They were escorted by 10,000 various types of warships towards the Bel Comet.

Among them, the mothership carrying the system’s base also left with the fleet. They were estimated to arrive in about 28 days.

Then, Zhao Yu built a large number of engineering ships. Together with the 200,000 warships originally stationed at the Mars defense line and the existing 100,000 various functional warships, they headed towards the wormhole.

The wormhole was too far from the moon, and it took 13 hours for a round trip of light signal transmission, which made command inconvenient.

After careful consideration, Zhao Yu decided to go in person. He brought along with him Colonel Chu and the advisory team, as well as some absolutely loyal robots.

Also, he moved Uncle Da’s mainframe to a mothership, temporarily leaving it at the lunar base to maintain the production lines.

“Uncle Da, if we lose the battle at the frontline, 1 will escape to the Bel Comet by a shuttle ship. At that time, you should abandon this base and meet me at the Bel Comet…”

“Okay…” Looking at the familiar environment under his feet, Uncle Da was a bit melancholy.

Strictly speaking, the lunar base was his birthplace, and he had spent six years here since his birth. The possibility of leaving in the future made him a little reluctant.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Da, Zhao Yu took a last look at the now deserted moon.

Wasn’t this his home too?

But now with enemies at the doorstep, even if he loved his home, he had to go out and fight.

Shaking his head, Zhao Yu firmly boarded the command ship.

Before he could feel melancholic, Colonel Chu came up to him.

“The only unknown now is the mechanism of wormhole travel. We don’t know when the alien fleet will arrive…”

“If they arrive before the wormhole defense line is completed, we might have to retreat and fight as we did with the Moro fleet…”

“Even if a wormhole can traverse space-time, it should take some time, right?”

Zhao Yu was very clear that six years ago, the system had hinted that the Moro fleet was coming.

He wondered, was it possible that the Moro fleet had entered the wormhole for travel six years ago?

If that was the case, they still had plenty of time, enough to set up a huge trap, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

10 days later, in the neighboring star system, the colossal Great Whale Legion emerged from the wormhole.

“We finally made it…”

The Legion leader stretched his body; he hadn’t stayed in the wormhole for such a long time in a while.

Soon, one of his subordinates handed over a detailed star map of the nearby star fields. “Report, the star map of the nearby star fields has been mapped…”

The Legion leader carefully examined the map after receiving it.

The target star system was just 4 light years away, the star system life expectancy was approximately 5 billion years, and there were 6 existing planets, one of which had a strange shape, as if half of it had been blown away. “Commander Dugo, should we send a fleet to take a look?” the deputy officer asked cautiously.

“No need!”

Dugo shook his head: “We are here to be hunters, not garbage collectors. We don’t need to go to a civilization that has been destroyed. Just let people activate the super gravity detector to check the situation inside their star system…”

After that, he added: “I see there are 10 star systems within 10 light years of this target star system. Let the 5th Corps go and search the other nine star systems. If anything happens, contact us via quantum interface…”

Quantum interface, a method of communication in the quantum world level, and then decrypting the information back in the normal world.

It can truly transcend the speed of light to transmit information. Even if they are 950 light years away from their home star now, they can quickly transmit it back via quantum interface.

Of course, each activation of the quantum interface is not cheap, so it’s usually only used for important intelligence.

Just then, a subordinate rushed over to report.

“Commander Dugo, super gravity detection shows that there are a large

number of moving ships inside the target star system….”
