“Captain, we have good news!”
“Our scout ship heading to Jupiter captured a destroyer from Earth!”
From a gravitational wave detector, near Jupiter, a small ship is seen towing a broken ship ten times its size, heading toward Pluto.
“A scout ship capturing a destroyer?!”
Moro paused. The initial mission for the scout ship was just to check out the enemy’s capability, not expecting to capture one of their ships.
“Have we received any updates from Scout Ship 8?”
“Yes, we have!”
“The captured destroyer uses a propulsion system that combines third-generation nuclear fusion and electromagnetic technologies. It’s equipped with conventional weapons like electromagnetic guns, railguns…”
“All the technology… Their tech level doesn’t exceed 1.99…”
Overjoyed, Moro exclaimed, “That truly is great news!”
“Notify everyone. Have all the squadron leaders come for a meeting!”
Moments later, numerous squadron leaders entered the mothership from their respective battleships.
Moro shared the intel from Scout Ship 8.
“Given the current situation, what are your thoughts about Earth?” he asked.
“There are two possibilities…”
“Firstly, Earth could have already reached a late-stage Type 1 civilization 52 years ago, and launched Voyager 1 to disguise their actual technological prowess…”
“Considering Voyager l’s speed, it would take at least 15,000 years to leave the solar system, and over 30,000 years to possibly be discovered by other civilizations…”
“Perhaps, they thought that within 30,000 years, they could raise their tech level to 2.5, or even beyond 3.0…”
“Or, they might have been stuck at the 1.99 level for a long time…”
“Sending out Voyager 1 could have been a ploy to lure other civilizations to help them break through their limitations…”
“The civilization level of Earth described on Voyager 1 was only 0.61. In their minds, a civilization of level 3 or above might ignore such a primitive civilization, attracting only Type 0 and Type 1 civilizations…”
“Based on this possibility, the so-called ‘Universe Alliance of China’ is just a fabrication…”
“Their descriptions of advanced civilization weapons like water droplets, light particles, two-way foils are all figments of their imagination…”
“Therefore, the Pangu civilization on Earth should only have a tech level below 1.99, still struggling to break through the bottleneck…”
Moro nodded in agreement, “That makes sense. Even our Glen civilization took tens of thousands of years to break through from 1.99 to 2.0. It’s normal for them to be stuck at this level for a hundred thousand years…”
“How could they compare to our Glen civilization!”
A squadron leader joked, “We, the Glens, are the most intelligent race in the universe!”
Moro nodded, allowing the squadron leader to continue on the second possibility.
“The second possibility is that Earth is indeed a Type 0 civilization…”
“The Voyager 1 sent 52 years ago, with its technological information, reflects their actual situation…”
“A civilization newly entering space may act naively. Their actions are understandable…”
“After launching Voyager 1, their Pangu civilization might have been discovered by the people of the Universe Alliance of China…”
“Invited to join them…”
“With this, they received a wealth of technology far more advanced than their own, such as third-generation nuclear fusion, and so on…”
“However, the Universe Alliance of China’s headquarters is too far from the solar system, and the resources here are average. Therefore, after showing off a bit, the alliance left…”
“Consider this possibility: it might explain why, when we first traveled here, most of the ships we encountered were moving at 2 Nagi speed…”
“It could be because they learned the secret of neutrinos from the Hua Xia Universe Alliance…”
Someone interrupted, “If the Hua Xia Universe Alliance knows the secret of neutrinos, why form an alliance?”
“Maybe they are confident. If the alliance is real, there must be a civilization within it that’s technologically advanced…”
“Assuming it’s the Great Qin civilization that possesses the two-way foil, then their technological level has reached at least 4.0…”
“In their early years, they must have annihilated many civilizations, until now, they probably believe there are few left that can threaten them, and that’s why they want to unify the universe…”
Moro squinted. If the two-way foil was real, unifying the universe was not a small possibility.
“The two-way foil, a weapon capable of destroying the whole universe, could be considered the pinnacle of this universe’s weaponry…”
“Any advanced civilization with the two-way foil possesses the ability to destroy the universe…”
“At this point, all they need to do is identify all the civilizations in the universe. The weaker ones are forced to join the alliance, to cut off the chance of low-level civilizations learning about the two-way foil. Those who also possess the two-way foil become permanent members of the alliance…”
“They minimize all risks…”
“Correct, if the two-way foil is the endgame of all weaponry, then the civilization that possesses the two-way foil will certainly try to prevent inter-civilizational wars, stop new civilizations from grasping the two-way foil, and lower the chance of universal destruction…”
Moro nodded, then asked, “Based on these two possibilities, what would be the consequences of our attack on the Pangu civilization?”
“With the first scenario, the destruction of Pangu civilization is a foregone conclusion, without any consequences…”
“According to the second scenario, we haven’t received any warnings or threats from the Hua Xia Universe Alliance, we don’t even know they exist…”
“In this case, destroying a foolish, low-level civilization like Pangu, with a 0.61 level, the Hua Xia Universe Alliance probably won’t pursue it. Instead, they might invite us to join the alliance…”
“After all, we have reached a high-intelligence level of 2.75 through our own research…”
Some expressed nervousness, “If the Great Qin civilization wants to limit two-way foil research, wouldn’t our intelligence be a problem?”
“No, they will definitely focus on civilizations that are close to understanding the two-way foil…”
“Great Qin civilization is at level 4 0, this is our assumption. Perhaps they are at 5.0 or even 6.0?”
“Even if they’re only 4 0, they would absolutely focus their attention on civilizations between levels 3.0 and 3.99, not us…”
Having listened to these analyses, Moro began to feel at ease, believing the Hua Xia Alliance would not act against them for the sake of a low-level civilization like Pangu.
“So, as long as we act quickly, and destroy Pangu civilization in a short time, making it a fait accompli, that should suffice…”
Someone worriedly stated, “What if the Hua Xia Universe Alliance asks our Glen civilization to join them?”
“That’s a question for our elders. Our mission here is to destroy the Pangu civilization. As long as we accomplish this, we can return to our mother planet…”
“Once we return to our mother planet, we’ll be heroes. Even if later the Glen civilization joins the Hua Xia Universe Alliance, our status won’t be low…”
Everyone chimed in, analyzing every possible outcome.
Gradually, Moro made up his mind. Seeing the ambition in the eyes of his squadron leaders, he declared loudly:
“Everyone, prepare for battle with all your might…”
“The moment Miro returns, it will be your chance to make a name for yourselves!”
