Chapitre 59: Chapter 59: The Enemy is Weak, the Tiangong Main Ship
In the 100 years since the purple thornbush-like civilization's fleet was destroyed, they have had contact with some of the Kate tribe.
Through these interactions, the Kate tribe has learned the language and some characteristics of the purple thornbush-like civilization.
With this knowledge, the probe ship can gather more information upon reaching its destination.
Two years after the probe ship's arrival, it observes a war within the Hydra V system.
This war is a conflict between two civilizations: the purple thornbush-like civilization and the indigenous civilization of the Hydra V system.
Perhaps the news of the purple thornbush-like civilization's fleet destruction has reached Hydra V, leading to this war.
Or perhaps there is another reason.
Yan Xia and Ella's guess is not entirely accurate.
The purple thornbush-like civilization aims to establish a vast interstellar empire, but it is not like the agricultural civilizations of East and South Asia. Instead, it resembles the nomadic civilizations of Central and North Asia.
Its expansion is like a space-based version of the Mongol Empire.
With its formidable military might, it conquers and leaves behind a small number of people to govern the conquered civilizations.
This has one advantage.
The speed of expansion will be significantly faster.
Indeed, in just 1000 years, the purple thornbush-like civilization has controlled a vast starfield, and the probe ship has roughly collected information about four civilizations.
Although there are only four, this suggests that the purple thornbush-like civilization controls dozens or even hundreds of star systems.
After all, life is widespread in the universe, and it's not impossible for civilizations to exist in every star system.
According to Ella's calculations, the purple thornbush-like civilization controls 7 to 10 civilizations.
Such a civilization has obvious weaknesses.
It is not stable.
It cannot fully control the civilizations it rules.
Internal unrest is inevitable.
Especially now, as its mighty army has been defeated, it is in decline, and this decline is even faster than its expansion.
Those 1000 warships possessed 97% of the purple thornbush-like civilization's military might.
Now, the purple thornbush-like civilization is like a lamb without its wolf's skin, a juicy, oily, and delicious piece of meat, a beautiful woman stripped naked.
"The plan can be initiated."
Yan Xia, still standing at the podium, receives a message.
The students, from three different races, are listening attentively to the lecture, unaware that their usually stern professor is receiving a message and even smiling in the middle of class.
Then, they hear their professor say, "Students, I may not be able to continue teaching you."
Mechanical soldiers enter the classroom and escort Yan Xia away.
That afternoon, the students learn that their professor, who had been teaching at the school all this time, is actually Yan Xia. They are all shocked.
Of course.
These are just minor matters to Yan Xia.
He has already arrived at the spaceship factory far from the Hundred-Eyed Star in a gravity-defying ship.
All their warships are built here.
In the past 100 years, the production of warships has been suspended, and all resources have been allocated to a new flagship.
Since the Hope ship completed its mission, Yan Xia began designing a new flagship as his personal vessel 400 years ago.
However, the project was put on hold for 300 years.
The reason was that the technology had not yet reached the required level. As a flagship, it must possess the pinnacle of civilization's technological capabilities.
Ella applied her string-based developments to this project.
This factory is located in space and is more like a massive space fortress than a factory.
It is an astonishing 200 kilometers long, 148 kilometers wide, and 32 kilometers high.
At the center of this colossal space fortress is a shipyard for building warships.
A huge alien spaceship, resembling a mirrored kayak, sits quietly within.
Six energy storage devices are bound to the ship's body using electromagnetic forces, resembling curved diamond-shaped shields.
This is their new flagship.
- Tiangong
The entire ship is a terrifying 32,800 meters long, but only 4,628 meters wide and 3,872 meters high, making it very elongated.
Each of the surrounding energy storage devices is a gigantic curved diamond-shaped shield, each 6,300 meters long.
They are equipped with advanced dark matter decay devices, producing 16 times more energy than positive matter annihilation devices.
Moreover, due to technological advancements, Ella has applied the latest thermoelectric conversion devices, moving away from the 'boil water' technology that human civilization has been using for a long time.
This thermoelectric conversion device can directly convert heat into electricity with an astonishing efficiency of 92%, and there is no need to worry about heat dissipation, as the heat has already been converted into electricity.
This is a significant breakthrough, allowing their current energy reserves to reach 1.8 levels in a wandering planet.
"The Tiangong flagship will be completed in three months, right?"
Yan Xia asks as he looks at the new battleship from his gravity-defying ship.
Ella takes control of a robot beside Yan Xia.
"Yes, it will be ready to leave the shipyard in three months."
"The ship's surface is made of a super-element I researched, which is extremely stable and has significantly improved strength, heat resistance, and reflectivity compared to the metal of the Light Civilization."
"Although it has a half-life of only 2.1 million years, its density is 41.10g/cm³, hardness is 24, melting point is 170,000 degrees Celsius, and strength is 54,721 MPa."
"The increased density is to better create a mirror surface on the ship's exterior, reflecting more light and cosmic particle streams due to the ship's high speed."
"Of course, the outer shell's strength is only to withstand the pressure of higher acceleration. The real technology lies in the four fundamental forces."
"The Tiangong flagship is equipped with shields and weapons based on the four fundamental forces, and its main cannon can reach 400 billion tons of TNT equivalent."
"The ship's interior is equipped with a complete gravity system, allowing people to walk normally inside, and it also uses anti-gravity systems to isolate the effects of space gravity. The Tiangong ship's theoretical speed can reach 20,872 km/s, and the actual speed should be similar."
Currently, there is still a gap between them and the purple thornbush-like civilization.
After all, the purple thornbush-like civilization has vast resources and has been a Level 2 civilization for over 1000 years.
However, even though 500 years have passed since they observed the existence of strings, they are still in the transition from a Level 1.9 civilization to a Level 2 civilization and are not yet a fully-fledged Level 2 civilization.
But this configuration is sufficient to deal with the current purple thornbush-like civilization.
Yan Xia will wait for the completion of the Tiangong flagship and then travel to Hydra V aboard this ship.
With their current distance from Hydra V, it will take 192 years to reach it.
By then, the war in Hydra V will likely be over, and it's impossible for the civilization to fully recover.
