He Xingzhou headed to the experimental field of He Mengyao and her team. Their test site was an entire Star System, equipped with a Constant Star Furnace and a Mechanical Planet.
In space, a warship flew towards a dwarf planet in the Star System, several mechanical devices shot out.
In less than three minutes, the dwarf planet shattered, breaking into pieces.
"Third test, dwarf planet shattered, time taken: 2 minutes 48 seconds 79... Gravitational wave intensity recorded... Resonance process recorded..."
On the warship, He Xingzhou, He Mengyao, and a group of researchers were compiling the experimental data.
What just destroyed the dwarf planet was their first version of the Star Burst Device.
"Although the power is a bit low, the direction is viable, much more efficient than our previous electromagnetic resonance weapon!" He Mengyao was fairly satisfied with the experimental results.
"Next time, increase the intensity ten thousandfold!" He Xingzhou said, "In the next experiment, let’s directly target a planet!"
He had already selected a rocky planet to serve as the weapons testing ground.
"Also, assign on the Jump Engine."
"With the Jump Engine, we can quickly approach the enemy and swiftly activate the Star Burst Device! In this way, its power will be far superior to the Planet Disintegrator!"
He Xingzhou continued with experiments and research.
Another hundred years passed.
In one hundred years, externally, the Star Trading Group’s battles repeatedly failed, and this time the Night Owl Civilization lost half a Star Cluster again. Under enemy pressure, many members have withdrawn from the Star Trading Group, leaving its membership less than half of its peak!
Internally, the Zerg’s disturbances became increasingly frequent, often with Constant Star Giant Beasts and Constant Star Devourers harassing borders, all intercepted by the Blue Star Civilization.
The Blue Star Civilization advanced hyperspace engine to the second stage and started constructing Level 2 Superspace Battleships.
The technology to stabilize hyperspace passages has also made a breakthrough.
In the Solar System and Deer Horn Star System, Star Gates began construction simultaneously.
Using the Constant Star Furnace as the energy source, these Star Gates possess hyperspace engines powerful enough to sustain hyperspace passages for extended periods.
In the Zerg-occupied area, one of the Biological Fleet Commanders, Tan Qiong, was wandering here piloting a Constant Star Devourer level Biological Battleship.
Their goal was to locate the Constant Star Insect Nest and explore whether there were more Starry Sky Giant Beasts.
Back then, the Black Sea Civilization encountered only one Starry Sky Giant Beast, but He Xingzhou was worried, after these two thousand years, new Constant Star Devourers might have evolved to Star Sky Giant Beast Level.
"Captain, there are numerous radiation sources appearing ten light-years ahead!" reported the Reconnaissance Ship ahead.
"What’s going on?" Tan Qiong asked, "Investigate thoroughly."
"Expanding reconnaissance range!"
Ahead lies a Star System.
This Star System is marked on the Star Map as the "Sea God Star System," a Star System once part of the Black Sea Civilization’s core circle.
Over two thousand years ago, it was highly prosperous, and the Black Sea Civilization even built a Star Gate here to connect the M45 and M35 Star Clusters.
Trade and exchange occurred here between commercial ships from the Star Trading Group and the Black Sea Civilization, thanks to the Star Gate.
Later, it was occupied by the Zerg, marked in red on the Star Map since, and the Black Sea Civilization never reclaimed it. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelHub(.)net
"Within the Sea God Star System, there are over twenty radiation sources at Constant Star Devourer level!" Tan Qiong’s heart skipped a beat. A mature Constant Star Devourer has combat capabilities equivalent to Level 9 Warp Speed Battleships, only War Stars can resist them!
Over twenty Constant Star Devourers gathered in the Sea God Star System, what do they intend to do?
"Captain, should we go in?" a subordinate asked.
"We cannot enter." Tan Qiong knew that if the Zerg discovered them, escape would be impossible.
"Deploy some Biological Detectors inside, maintain at least a three light-year distance for observation." Tan Qiong ordered.
"Understood." The warship released numerous biological detectors capable of Warp Speed flight.
These biological detectors entered the Sea God Star System, surveying various regions.
Within the Sea God Star System, no planets were visible.
Records from the Black Sea Civilization indicated there used to be over three hundred planets here, all transported from other Star Systems.
The primary star, Sea God Star, remained intact, albeit its brightness reduced compared to two thousand years ago.
Given the billion-year lifespan of a Constant Star, two thousand years is but an instant. A noticeable decrease in brightness could only indicate this star has expended excessive mass and energy.
The biological detectors sensed the radiation sources congregating.
Constant Star Devourers are generally among the strongest Zerg within one or several Star Systems; they usually opt to reside alone in their territories.
A single Sea God Star is insufficient for all these Constant Star Devourers to devour!
A biological detector quietly approached the Constant Star Devourers, in their congregating site within an open area of the Star System.
These giant beasts were clustered together, and in their midst was a massive ring structure.
It resembled the Blue Star’s Super Star Ring but wasn’t mechanical; rather, it comprised substances secreted by the insects.
These Constant Star Giant Beasts excreted substances from themselves to construct this ring formation.
"They are constructing something!"
"We need more information, let the detectors get closer!" Tan Qiong commanded.
"Getting closer will definitely lead to discovery!"
"Let them discover us, collecting intelligence is more important!" Tan Qiong sensed that whatever the insects were building posed a significant threat to humanity!
The biological detectors approached the ring formation, beginning to gather information.
