Legend of the Planet Builder

"Report to command, our fleet has safely passed through the Zerg-occupied area and is now only ten light-years away from the Maoshi Star Union's interstellar defense line." Qiu Hong was the first to report, leading the main fleet with an average warp speed above Level 8, hence traveling faster.

"Stand by." He Xingzhou ordered.

"Understood!"

"Report to command, our fleet experienced friction with parts of the Zerg, currently fifty light-years from the Maoshi Star Union's Star Domain defense line." Huang Sheng reported.

Their fleet included a War Star, which was slower and a larger target, drawing Zerg attention during their journey.

At this moment, a Constant Star Devourer was attacking them.

"Gravity Cage locked!" The Blue Star civilization of today faced a Constant Star Devourer without fear!

The Gravity Cage Generator floated around the Constant Star Devourer, creating a super-strong gravitational field, as if a constant star were restraining it!

The Constant Star Devourer struggled with all its might, its energy radiation causing the Gravity Cage to tremble.

"Destruction Cannon ready!" Huang Sheng activated the Planet Destruction Cannon on the War Star, and as the Constant Star Devourer writhed, the Destruction Death Light enveloped it entirely!

No matter what defenses the Constant Star Devourer employed, the antimatter annihilated it completely!

"Elimination complete." Huang Sheng reported again, "Antimatter overconsumption has occurred; we will spend ten days recharging energy."

They had engineering ships in their accompanying fleet that could collect materials to produce antimatter and supply power to the main station.

"Alright, move to ten light-years from the defense line and await orders."

"Roger!"

Qin Yi also reported, "My unit has arrived as well, hold position?"

"Yes." He Xingzhou said, "We need to identify the location of the enemy's First Fleet; once it's entangled, it will be our time to attack!"

They were waiting for the opportunity to strike, and the Maoshi Star Civilization was doing the same.

Until now, the Maoshi Star Civilization had not pinpointed the location of their main fleet, so the primary combat units of the First Fleet had not appeared.

Dozens of decoy points troubled the Maoshi Star Civilization greatly, further scattering their forces.

But according to intelligence, the warships dispersed to various points were all Level 8 warp speed ships; neither Level 9 warp speed nor anything higher than 9.9 level warp speed ships had made an appearance!

"Point 44 is also a gravity illusion." Qing Gu was eliminating the decoy points one by one.

"How long until we can identify the gravity illusions?" Qing Gu pressed her subordinates.

A subordinate said, "The Academy of Sciences has produced a plan, and our detectors are under manufacture."

"Accelerate the progress," Qing Gu said impatiently, "With our forces scattered, the Blue Star civilization is bound to exploit the gap!"

She was sure that among these illusions, one was the true main attacking fleet.

"How is the Third Fleet progressing?" Qing Gu asked Yu Ze.

"The attack is hindered!" Yu Ze reported honestly, "The Blue Star civilization's defense is extremely tight; although there is no main fleet, the Space Fortresses are equipped with gravity weapons and warp weapons, which slows our progress significantly."

"Withdraw the Level 9 warp speed warships!" Qing Gu ordered, "Other warships continue the attack."

"First Fleet, Second Fleet, the same applies; all Level 9 warp speed warships withdraw from the battleground, awaiting combat orders."

With forces spread thin, Qing Gu decided to consolidate the elite from the three main fleets into a single elite fleet, composed entirely of Level 9 warp speed warships.

They possessed a thousandfold light-speed travel capability and firepower ten times that of others; thus, no matter where the Blue Star civilization launched an attack, this elite fleet could swiftly reach the battlefield and deliver a devastating strike to the enemy!

The war continued, with both sides taking losses that they could still bear.

He Xingzhou also noticed that the adversary's elite forces were not appearing, and they were gradually gaining the ability to identify gravity illusions.

If this dragged on, the strategy of "All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers" would no longer be effective.

"Huang Sheng, has the War Star's resources been replenished?" He Xingzhou contacted Huang Sheng.

"Replenished to eighty percent," Huang Sheng replied.

"We can't delay anymore, advance on the defense line and prepare to attack," He Xingzhou instructed the commanders of the three fleets, "We'll launch an attack here to draw out the enemy's main forces and hold them down; then you simultaneously attack, driving deep into the Maoshi Star Civilization core circle!"

"Understood!"

He Xingzhou also said to Lei Yuanfeng, "General Lei, you may proceed."

"Understood!" Lei Yuanfeng immediately commanded, "Meng Hai, take your people and attack from enemy point 55."

"Strike deep, and strike hard, ensure to attract all enemy main forces."

"Yes!" Meng Hai responded in the Gold Battle Star, ordering immediately, "All members ready, prepare for attack, target: space point 55."

"Is the gravitational wave jammer ready?"

"It's ready!"

"Good, engage in warp travel!" Gold Battle Star and a fleet of Level 7 and 8 warp speed warships entered warp travel together.

The Maoshi Star Civilization's Star Domain defense line point 55 was a thousand light-years from the Zerg-occupied area.

Even for Level 9 warp speed warships, it would take nearly a year to provide support.

On a Level 9 warp speed warship, every decimal point increase in warp level exponentially increased the warp factor.

9.0 level warp is 1516 times light speed, 9.9 level is 3052 times; 9.99 level is 7912 times.

Only at 9.9999 level warp is near two hundred thousand times light speed possible.

He Xingzhou determined that the Maoshi Star Civilization definitely did not possess warships with 9.9999 level warp, otherwise, at such speed, they would head straight for the Blue Star Civilization core circle, rendering any outside attack unnecessary.
