Chapter 111: The Base Is About to Upgrade

“Science fiction movies?!”

Moro was somewhat incredulous, together with the other captains, they repeatedly watched the video content, searching for unreasonable parts.

“This part is irrational. The technology used clearly exceeds 2.99, and whether it can be realized or not, is all unknown…”

“And here too, a civilization that masters technology above 2.0, how could they be ignorant of the truth of the universe?”

“Indeed, neutrinos contain a lot of information about the destruction of cosmic civilizations, but they can’t see it…”

After analyzing, they found that these so-called science fiction movies were mostly fantasies based on some scientific speculations, and their logic and reasonability were extremely poor.

Moro tapped on the table and said, “If these science fiction movies are fake, then what do you say about the ‘two-way foil’ mentioned by the Pangu civilization, could it also be a sham?!”

“There’s a high chance!”

“Reducing the dimensions of the universe, such a thing is too preposterous…” The technological level of the Glen civilization was in the middle-late stage of level 2, and they had some speculations about level 3 civilizations, but it wouldn’t be as terrifying as the two-way foil.

“Reducing the dimensions of the universe, can the two-way foil really suppress the laws of the universe?”

“It indeed seems a bit presumptuous…”

“Captain, it seems like we may have been fooled by them…”

“Damn that Pangu civilization!”

The captains present were somewhat irate.

After all, not long ago, they were scared out of their wits, strongly demanding a retreat.

Moro shook his head slightly, “If it’s fake, then how do you explain the huge difference in technological level between 52 Earth years ago and now?” “This…”

“Maybe, 52 Earth years ago, they already had the technological level of a late stage 1 civilization, but deliberately pretended to be less advanced, setting a trap while sending out this spacecraft, attempting to lure other civilizations?” “But, the speed of this spacecraft is too slow, it would take another fifteen thousand years to fly out of the Solar System…”

“Moreover, using one’s own civilization as bait for a trap seems too stupid, doesn’t it?”

Everyone found that there were too many inconsistencies on Earth. It felt like a disguised civilization, but also seemed genuinely weak.

Moro pondered for a moment and then shook his head, “We can’t gamble now. Let’s wait for Miro to return before we decide what to do!”

•

12 days later.

The escort ship Zhao Yu was aboard successfully returned to the first line of defense.

“Commander, what happened in the negotiations? Why did the shuttle they were on accelerate away?” Uncle Da asked, confusion written all over his face. Zhao Yu chuckled, saying, “When I was studying the technology tree of the Moro fleet, I found they didn’t have any entertainment-related technology products…”

“I suspect they might have been under military-style management since childhood, learning various combat and warfare skills, possibly without exposure to novels, movies, and the like…”

“So, I discussed with them some technology from science fiction novels, and to my surprise, it scared them off…”

When the shuttle ship that Miro was on fled, Zhao Yu was also startled as he had many more technologies yet to discuss.

“I see…”

Uncle Da nodded, then his face quickly showed regret.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Yu asked, puzzled.

Uncle Da sighed and said, “Commander, after you finished your part, the Moro fleet near Pluto started to shrink rapidly, as if they wanted to activate a wormhole to leave…”

“But, they stopped at the critical moment…”

“I found that one of their scout ships was less than 200 million kilometers from Voyager 1…”

“I suspected that they might be waiting for information from Voyager 1…”

“Sure enough, not long after Voyager 1 was captured, their formation spread out and they sent some ships to explore and mine resources near Pluto again…” Zhao Yu clenched his fists and felt a little helpless. Before he transmigrated, when he was still on Earth, scientists often warned him not to send signals to the universe and not to reply.

They even said that Voyager 1 would pose a risk to humanity thousands of years later.

Now, Voyager 1 had only flown for 52 years, not thousands, before being captured by an alien spaceship, revealing Earth’s secrets.

“I’m glad I set up a decoy before…”

Zhao Yu realized that if he hadn’t previously blown smoke, making the Moro fleet suspicious and reluctant to make a move, they would have already launched an attack upon receiving the information from Voyager 1.

“But, we can’t delay for much longer…”

“Thankfully, we now have enough technology points to upgrade the base to level 2…”

“Uncle Da, give me the exchange list. Once I’m back, we’ll upgrade the base to level 2…”

“Commander, I have the list ready. Most of the items are in the field of life science technology…”

“The technology points needed in this field may far exceed other basic technologies…”

Zhao Yu glanced at the list that Uncle Da handed over and saw a variety of research institutes listed.

Things like Microorganism Research Institute, Plant Research Institute, Animal Research Institute, Gene Research Institute, Cell Research Institute, Genetic Research Institute, and so on. It was quite a long list.

Many life science technology products required the level of these institutes to be upgraded first.

“Can life science technology be developed towards weaponry?”

“It can, but only against the Blue Star people, not the aliens…”

Uncle Da shook his head and said, “Our research is based on the existing organisms of Blue Star. We don’t know what the Moro fleet members look like or what kind of organisms they are. Weapons developed from our research may not be effective against them…”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and said, “Then, focus the research on extending lifespan. We can discuss more when I return in 13 days…”

“Okay, Commander. But, you don’t need 13 days. You can be back in just 2 days!” “How so?!”

“After you left, I used a transport ship to bring 144 shuttle ships, parked on the way back.”

“You just need to keep switching shuttles…”

The shuttles they made had a flaw; each had to rest after one hour of use. Uncle Da had parked a shuttle every 382,000 kilometers, based on the speed of the shuttles.

Zhao Yu thought for a moment. With Voyager 1 exposed, there was little point in maintaining the facade of 135 Mach. He might as well increase the speed to 1000 Mach, which could potentially confuse the Moro fleet.

“Alright, let’s head back!”

One day later, the shuttle Zhao Yu was on had already covered a distance of 30 million kilometers, and was about to return to the moon.

Suddenly, Uncle Da’s projection appeared again.

“Commander, there’s a situation!”

“What’s happening?”

“Our spaceship near Jupiter has been captured by the aliens…”

Uncle Da said solemnly, “Just outside Jupiter, an alien scout ship is hauling one of our damaged ships back…”

“What a disgrace, a scout ship captured our destroyer…”

Zhao Yu frowned and asked, “Didn’t you give the order to attack if discovered?”

“I did, but the technological gap was too big…”

“Now we’re in trouble.. Our secrets have been exposed, are they going to attack us directly?”
