Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 321 Eye of the Abyss
Abyss civilization?

Li Qingsong was surprised.

At this moment, he couldn't help but complain: "Civilizations nowadays are getting better and better at concealing themselves. Even I didn't realize there was a civilization hidden here.

Well, judging from the communication power, this is most likely a strong nuclear-level civilization, with a technological level on par with mine, or slightly higher than mine, but not by much.

There's no rush for now. My preliminary exploration fleet should be getting close enough to observe in detail soon. I'll wait until the information comes back."

If it was a civilization at the gravitational level, or even higher, Li Qingsong would have turned around and left without a second thought. But if it was just a strong nuclear civilization, then there would probably be some discussion.

After all, it’s not good to go back on your word when you promised Qinglan.

Time passed quietly, and soon, the information from the early exploration fleet came back. Then Li Qingsong saw an extremely shocking scene.

He saw spaceships as densely packed as a swarm of bees, and saw one huge residential spaceship, aerospace mothership, large warship, etc. after another.

In addition, there are many industrial spacecraft orbiting around a dwarf planet.

The dwarf planet has a radius of 400 kilometers and an estimated total mass of about 51 trillion tons, which is about 92 times the peak mass of the meteor it created.

Now, this vast civilization, calling itself the Abyss, has installed countless ultra-high-power thrusters on this dwarf planet, along with hundreds of thousands of supporting factories, fusion power plants, and so on.

They seem to be trying to push the dwarf planet out of its current orbit!
Pushing a huge star with a radius of 400 kilometers and a total mass of about 51 trillion tons!

Although Li Qingsong can do it, there is no doubt that this is an extremely huge project even for him.

And now, this Abyss Civilization, which is most likely just an orthodox intelligent civilization, can actually do it?
They were able to do this because they relied on a unique form of existence without internal friction or communication barriers. The fact that a legitimate intelligent civilization could also achieve this, what does this mean for their industrial prowess, and the efficiency of the social structure that shaped it?

This is undoubtedly a powerful nuclear civilization that is much stronger than the original Haveler civilization, and is even superior to the Robotic Scourge and Black Mountain civilizations!
Also, this abyss civilization seems to be taking some actions at the white dwarf at the core of the galaxy.

Further observations showed that the Abyss Civilization mobilized a relatively large fleet to surround the white dwarf, and then continuously launched some extremely powerful weapons at the white dwarf.

The continuous explosions even had a slight impact on the radiation type and brightness of the white dwarf.

Li Qingsong immediately understood why this civilization stayed here.

It's very simple. Just like how he obtained extremely important and valuable gravitational experimental data for a strong nuclear civilization through experiments on Qinglan, this abyss civilization also took a fancy to these gravitational lives and tried to capture them for gravitational research!

The current attack was likely intended to force those gravity-bound beings to leave the white dwarf. The dwarf planet, equipped with numerous thrusters, was likely also used as a threat.

If you don't leave the white dwarf, we will use this dwarf planet to hit it and see if you will leave!

After sending the relevant information to Qinglan, Qinglan's reply was immediately full of anxiety.

"They are bad guys! They are invading our homeland!
Woohoo, Dad, Mom...

Brother Li, please, help us, I'll do anything you ask me to do, wuwu..."

Looking at the numerous extremely valuable data obtained from the "human" experiments on Qinglan in the previous stage, Li Qingsong sighed softly.

"It's not good to really coax a child. Well, since I have gained so much from you, I will help you this time. Let's just consider it a deal." Li Qingsong's huge fleet stopped slowing down directly, but the sailing direction did not change. Instead, it approached the interior of the galaxy at a faster speed than before.

When the distance is closer, we can start to decelerate. At that time, as long as the deceleration power is higher, we can still achieve the result of staying inside the galaxy.

The Abyss Civilization obviously saw his actions and knew what his actions meant.

Li Qingsong saw that the huge fleet of the Abyss Civilization immediately gathered at the fastest speed. All industrial spacecraft, transport spacecraft, etc. entered the near-planetary orbit, and a large number of warships gathered in the outer layer of the orbit.

At the same time, countless unmanned combat facilities were spread across the vast space.

There are a total of three large planets orbiting this white dwarf, two rocky and one gaseous.

At this moment, these three major planets were all protected by the Abyss Civilization, and at least 40 warships gathered around each major planet.

"The total number of warships is approximately 150 million..."

This number wasn't high. Compared to Li Qingsong's previous decisive battle with the Omnic Scourge Alliance, where both sides had three to four million warships, it was quite rare.

But Li Qingsong felt more solemn in his heart, and he raised the rating of the Abyss Civilization a little bit again.

The reason is very simple. With the improvement of the technological level of civilization, and with the stage of truly approaching or even reaching the peak of strong nuclear civilization, the strong nuclear civilization will gradually move away from the previous model of simple warships and relying on the accumulation of numbers to enhance combat effectiveness.

The complexity and combat effectiveness of warships will be greatly improved. The total number will be greatly reduced, but the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

At this moment, the Abyss Civilization has only about 150 million warships in total, which clearly shows that they have also crossed that stage and entered the current stage of "winning by quality".

Even if the Omnic Scourge at its peak were to face this Abyss Civilization, it would probably not be a match!

"A powerful civilization that is close to or has already reached the peak of strong core...

Perfect, let's test out the true quality of my Primordial AI!"

At this moment, Li Qingsong was filled with fighting spirit.

Planet No. 10 is kilometers long and has the flagship "Eye of the Abyss", which has the most powerful defense and attack capabilities of all spacecraft in the entire civilization. Inside the spacecraft, the commander-in-chief of the Abyss civilization looks serious.

In the vast space, an ocean of stars is rapidly pressing towards the interior of the galaxy like a mountain.

We have sent a warning message, but the other party completely ignored it and instead accelerated their pace of entering the galaxy.

Obviously, they also came for these gravity lives.

In this case, a war is inevitable.

Then... bury them here and absorb all their technology.
