It is 0.1 light-years away from the Enrogate central star system.
In just over thirty years, the human fleet made its way to the central star system of the Enroget Alliance.
This is extremely rare in interstellar warfare.
Under normal circumstances, this would mean that the war is in a state of one-sided crushing!
The trump card?
Which civilization doesn't have its trump card?
Even if a civilization that has just entered the fifth level has some trump cards, it is difficult to threaten the human civilization that is at the peak of the fifth level.
Practical applications of the Grand Unified Theory.
The huge gap in technological level is a huge chasm that is difficult to cross!
It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of the antiparticle trap and the fleet's suicide attack represented the limit that a newly advanced interstellar civilization could achieve.
But that still didn't have much effect.
Leaving aside the joint shield technology, the radiation protection layer alone from the Nus civilization is something that ordinary level 5 civilizations cannot produce.
Unless the other side uses weapons from a more advanced civilization.
But is that really possible?
Sitting in the command position, Bai Yixuan shook his head with a wry smile as he thought about it.
Are you kidding me?
I was really overthinking it.
Suddenly, a memory surfaced in his mind, and the bitter smile on his face froze.
He thought of the early human civilization.
The two-dimensional fragments provided by the [painting] have allowed human civilization to escape from certain death more than once.
A chill suddenly ran down his spine.
At that moment, Gao Yang's words echoed in Bai Yixuan's mind like a curse.
If someone else had said that, he probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it.
But thinking of Gao Yang's past "illustrious achievements", his right eyelid twitched violently a few times.
A twitching left eye means good fortune, a twitching right eye means good fortune...
No...it can't be that unlucky, can it?
Bai Yixuan calmly raised his hand and pressed down on his twitching right eyelid, then gently tugged at his left eyelid.
Risk hedging.
No problem, the advantage lies with me.
...
An hour later.
The massive fleet came to a complete stop, and the side hatches of the Golden Crow and White Tiger slowly opened.
Thousands of probes slid out of the hangar and, after leaving the expeditionary fleet at a certain distance, quickly entered warp drive mode.
As Zhao Zijie said.
To be on the safe side, we should first conduct intelligence gathering and make a decision after Chi You arrives or we obtain definite information.
...
10 hours later.
The probe successfully reached the edge region of the target star system and conducted a simple remote exploration of it from various directions.
Located in the Kepler-452 star system, Lü Yongchang frowned slightly as he looked at the holographic projection.
Numerous floating turrets hover silently in space.
Warships ranging in length from one thousand to five thousand meters were scattered throughout the area surrounding the star system.
Zero quickly completed the statistical work.
A total of 4,973 warships.
It wasn't much different from what I expected.
Judging from their appearance, these warships are the same type as those in the border defense line.
"There's definitely something wrong."
Lu Yongchang slowly exhaled a long breath and said in a heavy tone, "They must be hiding some trump card."
Zhao Zijie, who was standing to the side, was about to nod in agreement when a thought flashed through his mind: "You said..."
"Could it be a ruse involving an empty city?"
"I still think that with their level of technology, it would be too difficult for them to create a weapon that is sufficiently lethal to [Chi You]."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Lü Yongchang's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and shook his head: "It's unlikely."
He looked at Zhao Zijie with a strange expression: "Who uses the Empty City Stratagem in a civilized capital?"
"If that's the case, then whoever came up with this plan can truly be called a genius..."
Zhao Zijie chuckled and said, "That's true."
"Let's try getting the detector closer."
Let's assume the other side has some hidden cards up their sleeve first.
...
Under Zero's control, thousands of spherical probes, propelled by warp drives, simultaneously approach the target star system from all directions at the speed of light, 0.7c.
At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded in the Enrogett Alliance command center.
The elderly scientist looked somewhat somber.
What arrived was not the main fleet of human civilization, but merely some probes.
In the tachyon radar, the massive signal source disappeared 0.1 light-years away.
Optical probes deployed around the star system have been ordered to operate at full power in an attempt to locate the fleet hidden in the vast universe.
For the Enroget civilization, this was a very simple matter.
After all, the two sides are only 0.1 light-years apart.
Soon, the location of the human fleet was locked—they hadn't gone anywhere, but were simply staying quietly 0.1 light-years away.
Such an unusual phenomenon can only have one underlying reason: human civilization has already noticed the abnormality of the Enrogett Alliance.
They changed their previous reckless warfare tactics and became more cautious!
"Damn it..."
"A cunning human civilization!"
Its face immediately turned ugly.
The maximum attack range of space weapons is only 800 light-minutes.
In other words, Enroget's flagship couldn't even reach the human fleet!
The human fleet must get closer!
As its thoughts raced, a plan formed in its mind.
It raised its wrinkled hand and loudly issued the order: "Stop these probes at all costs!"
"We absolutely cannot let them enter the Enroget star system!"
After a moment's hesitation, a glint of light flashed in its eyes: "Order the flagship [Enrogett] to withdraw from the front lines immediately!"
"Come to the vicinity of our home planet!"
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, it spoke softly and offered an explanation.
"We only have one space weapon and only one flagship."
"It cannot protect the entire star system."
The command center quieted down a little.
“Those five thousand warships on the outer perimeter…” a researcher said cautiously.
"They have only one mission," the old scientist said, a cold glint in his eyes, "to put on a show for that human fleet, a show of a difficult defense!"
"Once their fleet enters the star system, we can use space weapons to completely annihilate them!"
...
As the old scientist finished speaking, the floating gun emplacements located outside the central star system opened fire first.
Following closely behind were ultra-long-range strikes from warships and star systems.
The thousands of detectors did not last long against the well-prepared defensive array, and soon turned into bursts of fireballs.
The firelight dispelled the surrounding darkness, completely shattering the original tranquility of this star field.
