Space Reconnaissance Department.

In Hill's office, she looked at the piece of information that had just been sent to her, and her face became solemn involuntarily.

"Ruoxi, help me make an appointment to meet with Mr. Chairman within three days. The reason is S-class intelligence."

Assistant Li Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, Minister."

Watching the assistant leave in a hurry, Hill lowered his head and read the information again carefully.

Several years have passed since the abnormal light spots appeared on the six-clawed giant. Over the years, the Space Reconnaissance Department has been monitoring the six-clawed giant.

Until more than a week ago, a monitoring station 0.092 light-years away from the center of the solar system once again detected the abnormal movement of the six-clawed giant star.

the other side.

After Sanji Badaliyar received the request for a meeting from the Space Reconnaissance Department, she found out that it was S-class intelligence, and she did not dare to neglect it.

Li Qingye’s recent itinerary was quickly adjusted.

Less than 17 hours.

Li Qingye took the time to meet with Hill through the virtual conference room.

"Mr. Chairman!"

"Hill, where's the information?"

Hill was well prepared and immediately shared the relevant information.

After receiving the information, Li Qingye flipped through it while listening to Hill's briefing.

"Chairman, nine days ago, our monitoring station in the outer solar system detected dense thermal radiation points." Hill pointed to the holographic star map and explained:

"These dense thermal radiation points are generated by plasma, and their movement trajectory is the solar system. According to continuous monitoring data, these thermal radiation points are moving faster and faster, and currently have reached about 752 kilometers per second..."

"Considering that it takes about 3 years for the light of the six-clawed giant to be transmitted to the solar system, this means that the other party set off three years ago."

Li Qingye also finished reading the information at this time. He turned around and ordered: "Jasmine, notify Maung Gu and Du Wei to come over."

"Yes, sir." Sanji Badalayar's figure disappeared into the virtual conference room.

After a while, the figures of Maung Gu and Du Wei, who had been summoned urgently, appeared in front of Li Qingye.

Maung Gu immediately saluted Li Qingye: "Chairman!"

"Chairman!" Du Wei, who was in charge of the Space Defense Department, followed closely and saluted.

Li Qingye waved his hand and shared the information with the two of them: "Let's take a look at this information first."

"yes."

Maung Gu and Du Wei quickly browsed the information. After all, Li Qingye summoned them personally. Obviously, this information was very important.

The more the two of them looked at each other, the more they frowned.

Maung Gu raised his head solemnly: "Chairman, the Six-Claw Civilization has come with bad intentions! We can't wait passively, it's best to take the initiative."

"Chairman, I agree with Minister Maungku's idea." Du Wei clenched his fists.

Li Qingye naturally would not object: "Well, I have no objection to your ideas. As the base camp of human civilization, the solar system is absolutely not allowed to become a battlefield. It is best to annihilate these six-clawed people in the middle."

However, Hill still reminded: "Chairman, two colleagues, we still have obvious shortcomings in the true situation of the six-clawed people. After all, the previous six-clawed spacecraft can only represent the six-clawed civilization 50,000 years ago. Before we go to war, we still have to go all out and be cautious."

Regarding this point, naturally no one would be arrogant enough to think that the Six Claw Civilization was vulnerable.

After all, the Six-Claw Civilization is a first-level civilization, which is much better than the free world on earth.

In order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, Li Qingye thought for a while: "Let's do this! Du Wei!"

"Here!" Du Wei immediately sat upright.

"You cooperate with Hill and launch a batch of fire spacecraft to the direction of the six-clawed giant star, quickly capture the dark stars along the way, and use the large dark stars along the way as base points to build defensive fortresses."

"yes!"

"no problem."

Li Qingye circled the dark stars on the star map with his fingers: "Remember, we must not only occupy the large dark stars, but also mine all the small dark stars around the large dark stars, leaving no space for the Six-Clawed People to exploit. Star."

Du Wei immediately understood Li Qingye's intention.

Even though the six-clawed giant star is 3.2 light-years away from the center of the solar system, this distance is very close on a cosmic scale.

However, it is still very difficult for an ordinary first-level civilization to span 3.2 light-years.

If there is no material replenishment along the way, the consequence will be that the interstellar expedition fleet becomes weaker and weaker.

Unless the six-clawed people's space navigation technology reaches 30% of the speed of light and can reach the solar system within more than ten years, the fleet will definitely continue to reduce its numbers.

As for the sailing speed of 30% of the speed of light, among the cosmic civilizations that the Homo sapiens company has known, only the Everlight Civilization can achieve it. This civilization is the quasi-secondary civilization that defeated the omnic civilization.

Obviously, the possibility that the six-clawed civilization can increase the speed of the spacecraft to more than 30% of the speed of light is very small.

This is not because Li Qingye looks down on the six-claw civilization, but according to the database of the omnic civilization, the spacecraft must break through 5% of the speed of light, which is impossible to achieve with a simple plasma thruster. It is only possible with the gravitational slingshot of a black hole. Increase the speed to 5~10% of the speed of light.

According to the detection data of the Space Reconnaissance Department, there is no black hole around the six-clawed giant star, and a simple plasma thruster cannot even break through 5% of the speed of light.

Li Qingye estimated that the six-clawed civilization's spacecraft could only reach 2% of the speed of light at most, or even only 0.5% of the speed of light.

This is not a random guess on his part, but is determined by resources.

The resources of the six-clawed giant are too poor. Even if the opponent mines all the natural satellites and ring asteroids of the six-clawed giant, and even collects the surface gas of the giant planet, its resources are not enough for the solar system. One in five thousand.

Even if the solar system does not count the sun and only counts planets, natural satellites, asteroids and stardust, the resources are still more than ten times more than those of the six-clawed giant star.

Lack of resources will seriously limit the speed of civilization development, and will also lower the upper limit of civilization.

There are many living examples of this in the database of omnic civilization.

Unless the six-claw civilization directly cheats and can use vacuum zero-point energy, antimatter, dark matter, etc., it will definitely be difficult to reach 2% of the speed of light.

For a first-level civilization, the difficulty of expedition to another planetary system lies in the speed of the spacecraft, the self-circulation technology of the spacecraft, and the supplies along the way.

Li Qingye couldn't change the speed of the spacecraft or the self-circulation technology of the spacecraft, but he could change the supplies along the way.

This is equivalent to the strong walls and clear fields in ancient wars.

As long as the Homo sapiens company takes one step ahead and controls the dark stars between the Six-clawed giant and the solar system, the Six-clawed people's expedition fleet will lose supplies after approaching the solar system.

However, the Homo Sapien Company's space fleet can obtain supplies through these dark stars. Under the influence of one and the other, the Homo Sapien Company can gain the first mover advantage.
