Chapter 149: An Anomaly Occurs
Fortunately, Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the Earth Empire fleet, seemed to have considered the difficulties faced by the alliance members.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Earth Empire will be broadcasting a comprehensive and indiscriminate hyperspace message to the Great Wall of this universe, issuing a 'protection statement' for this star system. This star system group, namely the Andromeda Star System Group, consisting of 57 star systems, will be under the protection of the Earth Empire. Any fleets or star systems that travel through hyperspace to the Virgo Supercluster will receive this 'protection statement' information without discrimination."
In the year 341 of the Galactic Era, the Earth Empire broadcast a "protection statement" within a 100-light-year radius of the star Ama in the Milky Way, and ordered the massive interstellar fleet, which was preparing to invade Ama from a distance of 6 light-years, to turn back and withdraw (see Chapter 44, "Protection Statement").
"Commander-in-Chief, how can this 'protection statement' be made effective?"
"We will establish a large hyperspace communication base station in the Andromeda Galaxy, capable of broadcasting hyperspace information to the Great Wall of this universe. The information accompanying the 'Protection Statement' will serve as a demonstration of the Earth Empire's absolute power, or rather, a deterrent measure. Anyone who travels through hyperspace into the Virgo Supercluster will witness how the Earth Empire's nineteen star system fleets annihilate hostile forces in the Norma Supercluster. If any enemy does invade the Andromeda Galaxy, the Earth Empire's five large intelligent 'Sheng Tian Bo' will protect you. In addition, the 'Master' has already ordered the Pandora Civilization to activate the 'Giant Gravity Source' intelligent protection mechanism and defense system."
"Of course, once you leave the Virgo Supercluster and this cosmic Great Wall, you won't need this kind of protection anymore. Even in the 28th Star Region, we will regularly receive reports from that large hyperspace communication base station. If there is a real problem in this star cluster, as long as the Earth Empire still exists, we will definitely send a fleet over."
At today's meeting, Earth Empire Fleet Commander-in-Chief Thomas revealed quite a bit of information. The Earth Empire has truly gone to great lengths and fulfilled its responsibilities for the members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance.
"Gentlemen, our fleets from nineteen star systems will remain here for seven days. During these seven days, we will establish a large hyperspace communication base station in the Andromeda Galaxy, issue a protection statement, and deploy the intelligent 'Sheng Tian Bo' and intelligent black holes. On the other hand, we hope you will give us a reply in four days, deciding whether to leave with us. If any alliance members decide to leave with us, we will dispatch fleets to assist these members in relocating quickly."
Thomas concluded by solemnly reminding all alliance members, "Gentlemen, I solemnly remind you that if all our defense systems fail, if you have no way out, please remember, you must do everything in your power to reach this Andromeda Galaxy." The leaders and representatives of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance didn't immediately understand why Thomas was so serious about this reminder, or why reaching the Andromeda Galaxy was so crucial. However, everyone carefully noted this solemn reminder down and listed it as one of their civilization's most important guiding principles!
After the meeting, Leidam and Thomas met alone.
"Commander-in-Chief, we are very grateful to the Earth Empire for protecting and taking care of the members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance. The Star Luo Empire has added a clause to its Royal Code: The Earth Empire will always be an ally of the Star Luo Empire, and Earth humans will always be friends of the Star Luo people."
“Your Majesty Lydam, thank you very much.” Thomas had not expected this law of the Star Luo Empire. It was clear that the Star Luo Empire was not just relying on Princess Lyfia’s status, but was genuinely trying to befriend the Earth Empire.
"Commander-in-Chief, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Your Majesty, please speak plainly."
"You know, my sister Lefia and I haven't been in contact for five hundred years. I don't know how she is now. She's in the high-light-speed dimension now. You know, I'm getting old too. I hope to talk to her before I die. If I can see her again, that would be the best."
"Your Majesty, we failed in this matter. The Empire was busy building and deploying star fleets and did not consider this point. I am very sorry. I will arrange for your family to communicate with Princess Lefia immediately."
"Thank you very much."
At the Starry Mansion, the Pan-Interstellar Alliance base in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Leidam family of eight were discussing matters.
"Father, the four of us want to go to the 28th Star Region with the Earth Empire to see our parents, but we are reluctant to leave you."
“Girl, although all good things must come to an end, and I understand your eagerness, I’m worried that if your whole family stays together, the Earth Empire will find out sooner or later, and then your family will be in great danger. You know how powerful those guys at the Earth Empire’s Academy of Sciences are.”
“Yuanmei, your uncle is very smart. I think he will try his best to come back to see you whenever he has the chance.”
“Sister, Father is right. The Earth Empire’s technology is very advanced. If you go there, I think it will be impossible to hide your identity. If you go, they will definitely collect your DNA and other information.”
"Brother Daya, is there really no other way?"
“Sister, as Father just said, the technology of the Earth Empire is beyond our capabilities. We wouldn’t even dare to dream of the things those scientists have created. I think it will be extremely difficult for you to infiltrate.”
Left with no other choice, Lai Feiyuan and her three companions had to abandon their plan to go to the 28th Star Region.
Leidam then ordered scientists from the Star Luo Empire to make some facial repairs to Wei Zhou, Wei Yuan, Leidam, and Lei Feiyuan. Subsequently, the eight members of the Star Luo Empire's imperial family sent greetings to Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Lei Feiyuan. The four teenagers, Lei Feiyuan, naturally and subtly expressed their longing for Zhou Yuan and the other two, hoping to meet them soon.
Seven days later, the one hundred Earth Empire fleets, which had been stationed at the Andromeda Galaxy's Iron Triangle Base for five hundred years, set foot on the Milky Way. After sending a farewell message to the leaders of all alliance members, Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the Earth Empire fleet, led the nineteen Earth Empire star system fleets into hyperspace after accelerating.
All forty-three members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance detected a faint hyperspace oscillation, which indeed pointed towards the Ruler Supercluster.
Nineteen star systems, including the Earth Empire's Milky Way galaxy, broke through the hyperspace blockade and directly entered the central region of the Norma Supercluster. In this central region, six star systems accelerated their preparations to enter hyperspace; however, the Earth Empire had already sealed off the hyperspace of all the more than one thousand star systems in the Norma Supercluster. These six star systems failed to enter hyperspace and were forced to adjust their positions and postures to prepare for battle.
The Earth Empire's star system fleet finally displayed its power. The supermassive black holes at the center of the eighteen star systems, in groups of three, unleashed wave after wave of gamma-ray bursts, directly impacting and tearing apart six of these star systems. These six star systems had no chance to retaliate and were quickly shattered by the Earth Empire's star system fleet, with numerous stars exploding continuously.
The bright "starburst" that appeared in the Norma Supercluster will be detected by members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance forty years from now, even in the distant Virgo Supercluster.
However, some fleets of Pan-Interstellar Alliance members traveling across galaxies in hyperspace received a "protection statement" message. This message, in addition to claiming protection for the Andromeda Galaxy Cluster, also contained images of six galaxies in the Norma Supercluster being destroyed by Earth's "Sky-Sniping Arrows," and informed them that a "starburst" of the Norma Supercluster would be observed from a distance in a certain number of years, and that the light emitted by the "starburst" would reach this location in a certain number of years. In addition to the images of the "destruction" of the six galaxies, the most terrifying thing about this "protection statement" was that the hyperspace information it emitted automatically determined the distance between this location and the Norma Supercluster, and informed them of the precise time when the "starburst" of the Norma Supercluster would occur in this space.
This accurate forecasting capability demonstrates the Earth Empire's further advancement in capabilities such as hyperspace travel and communication.
The forty-three members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance detected that everything in the Marker Supercluster was normal, with no signs of battle. From the Earth Empire's perspective, the six star systems in the Marker Supercluster had been destroyed, and violent hyperspace oscillations had reappeared. The "Giant Gravitational Source," a galaxy-cleaning tool invented by the Pandora civilization, had completely cleared away these six damaged star systems.
The Earth Empire's fleet of nineteen star systems began its journey toward the 28th star region of the universe.
On this timeline, the Capital Galaxy and Tianxing II will meet with the four star system fleets of the Balu civilization in one day.
"Brother, we'll be meeting the Balu civilization's star system fleet soon. I wonder how the Balu civilization will deal with us this time? Last time, the Pandora civilization's star cluster fleet sent Panna, this 'human'."
"I don't know either. It was George who contacted the Balu civilization's star system fleet last time. I'll ask him."
"George, have you made contact with the Balu civilization's star system fleet?"
"Dean Zhou, it's strange. The Balu Civilization Galaxy Fleet hasn't contacted me. I've been sending hyperspace communication messages to the Balu Civilization Galaxy Fleet every day for the past ten days, but I haven't received any reply. Could something be wrong?"
"Could you send me the communication methods and records of your last contact with the Balu civilization's star system fleet?"
"Okay, wait a minute."
After receiving the hyperspace communication method and records from George, Zhou Yuan carefully checked them and found no problems. The hyperspace communication sent by the Balu Civilization Star System Fleet to Tianxing-2 consisted of a unique information code invented by the "Matrix Civilization" for hyperspace communication between various civilizations or fleets within the Matrix Universe Great Wall faction.
This is indeed strange. It's one thing if they don't contact us proactively, but to not respond to us at all is really suspicious. Zhou Yuan, in his office at the Earth Star Command Center in the Capital Galaxy, stared at the piles of information codes and fell into deep thought.
"George, let's adjust our course and head towards the 28th sector of the 35th quadrant."
"Huh? Dean Zhou, the 28th star region in the 35th quadrant is the headquarters of the Kelly Universe Great Wall Group. We..."
“George, I know. I’m testing the reaction of the Balu civilization’s star system fleet.”
"it is good."
The Capital System and Tianxing-2 began a sharp course deflection, heading towards the 28th star region in the 35th quadrant. While navigating, the two systems simultaneously monitored the Balu civilization's fleet's reaction.
The four star systems of the Balu civilization seemed oblivious to the fact that the two star systems had changed course, and continued heading towards the fortress star system.
The Capital System and Tianxing-2 successively entered normal space from hyperspace, and both systems continued to observe the reaction of the Balu Civilization fleet. The Balu Civilization fleet continued its original course towards the Fortress System.
What exactly happened to these four Balu civilization star system fleets? Had they all encountered anomalies or been taken over by the enemy? Zhou Yuan and George were racking their brains, trying to figure out what to do next.
