"Otherwise, it might be too late."

Noticing the confusion in Zhao Zijie's eyes, he smiled and explained.

"Haven't you noticed that the fleet has been sailing in a straight line ever since the last change of course?"

Zhao Zijie nodded: "I did notice that."

"Professor, you probably want to save some energy, right?"

Lü Yongchang nodded, then shook his head.

"You've answered half of it correctly."

"The fleet's turning requires a huge amount of energy, which is part of the reason."

"The most important reason is that we currently do not have the other party's location information."

"If the other side has a higher speed, blindly turning could very likely result in a direct collision with the other side's array of probes."

At this point, Lü Yongchang sighed and sat down in his chair again.

"And bait is our tool to lure the other side to other areas."

"But that's exactly where the problem lies."

"Although these Mysterious Maidens II have changed direction several times, they are all heading in a direction away from us."

"More than a dozen samples are enough for them to calculate and deduce the possible direction of the human fleet."

"therefore……"

"War has become a high-probability event."

"It all depends on when the other party realizes it."

...

While the two were talking, the human fleet was quietly changing formation.

One by one, the Homeship ships approached the Earth.

Under Zero's control, the distance between each [Homeworld Ship] rapidly decreased until it was kept within a warning line.

Meanwhile, the spacing between the [Golden Crow] battleships increased rapidly.

They spread outwards slowly from the Earth and Homeship as their centers.

During the formation change, the fleet remained in radio silence.

All information is transmitted via long-distance communication devices.
