Starships of All Realms Online

Chapter 141 Locating the Locations of Other Queen Bees, Level 4 Civilization Technology

With the Reaper's mothership captured and leaving Earth, human civilization in the Independence Day world has weathered this crisis.

While the human civilization here was busy rebuilding their homes, Fang Heng looked at the newly acquired mothership and couldn't help but smile.

"Ethan, quickly organize the technology on the mothership and complete the reverse engineering."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, five years passed, and the once desolate Centaurus system became exceptionally prosperous.

"Rogue, please follow the navigation to berth 17 in Zone 3 of Star Harbor."

"Wanderer received!"

At the main starport of the Centaurus system, a cargo spaceship from Earth is slowly approaching. After being detected and verified by the starport's detection system, it is placed in an available berth.

On Earth, the previous attack by the Reaper mothership made them realize the power of interstellar civilizations.

The large amount of debris recovered this time also revealed many technologies, which, combined with previous technological reserves, have given Earth the foundation for long-distance interstellar travel.

The same applies to the University of Tokyo, but there are some semi-official collaborations involved that the US is unaware of.

However, Earth didn't have the same advantages as Fang Heng's side, so cracking the Reaper civilization's technology wasn't very smooth. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken 20 years to complete the colonization of the solar system.

Currently, the highest warship technology on Earth only has a curvature of 5 times, so each round trip for a cargo ship takes more than a year.

Fortunately, in this situation, the cargo ships are transporting scarce and valuable resources, making the wait worthwhile.

On the Centaur star system side, although it is a three-star system, the resources within the system are also very abundant.

At the same time, Fang Heng also discovered a pattern: the harsher the environment, the greater the probability of the birth of advanced and scarce resources.

Fang Heng also analyzed that the Centaur Galaxy is like a big gift to human civilization. According to the normal development path of civilization, when human civilization has the ability to travel between stars and can reach the Centaur Galaxy, the new resources inside can push human civilization's technology forward again and reach the peak of Type II civilization.

The materials and matter within a 10-light-year radius could allow human civilization to break through the constraints of Type II civilization and enter Type III civilization.

Once a civilization reaches Type III, many catastrophes that wiped out other civilizations can no longer cause it much damage.

The advancement of interstellar travel technology has greatly increased the margin for error for civilizations.

The Wanderer, which has just entered the port, is a cargo ship belonging to Lockheed Martin, the US military.

Meanwhile, in Zone 3, there are many cargo ships anchored here, mostly from the East and the United States, with the rest belonging to the remaining three countries.

As the Wanderer came to a stop, the crew disembarked, and the new crew members exclaimed in amazement upon seeing the bustling starport.

"Look over there, it's huge!"

A new female crew member looked at the enormous figure in the distance and exclaimed in astonishment.

"Lilith, it is said that this is the mothership that invaded us back then. It has now been captured by the human federation here and become their spoils of war."

"I didn't really notice it when I watched the video before, but now that I see it, it's really huge!"

"Yes, a super-large warship with a diameter of over 5000 kilometers, it seems that only the Titan in the game can compare to it."

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the port regulations manual has been distributed to you. You now have only three days of free time. After three days, everyone gather here to complete the loading of the goods, and then we will head home."

"Yes, Captain."

Hearing the captain's words, everyone was very excited. They were very curious about this starport that existed in the science fiction of the future and had long wanted to visit it.

Soon, as everyone left, the captain smiled and shook his head, glanced at the enormous creature in the distance, and then returned to the spaceship.

Meanwhile, in a manor on the Centaur homeworld, Fang Heng was looking at a report sent by Ethan.

Five years is neither a long nor a short time.

The reverse engineering of the mothership technology has been largely completed; what remains are aspects such as the materials used for the warship's hull, which can be replaced.

The warship's engines, energy systems, weapons, defenses, onboard systems, and internal life support systems have all been hacked.

This is the overall report.

After a long while, Fang Heng closed his eyes and rubbed his temples after reading it.

"The technology has been cracked, but there is still a long way to go before it can be applied in practice."

"Yes, Commander, the Reapers are very advanced in some aspects, but very primitive in others. They are like students who excel in some subjects but are also very weak in others."

"I didn't expect that the Reaper civilization's communication technology was still below the speed of light. No traditional interstellar civilization would be like this. After all, the starry sky is too vast. Without faster-than-light communication, the actual control range would not be very large."

"Yes, Commander, but the enemy's weapons and energy technology are very advanced."

"I can understand. After all, they are a plunderer civilization. Without advanced energy and weaponry technology, they could never have developed to this level."

"Commander, will Project Titan continue?"

"How's the research on the teleportation device on the Punishment Ship going? Can it be disassembled without damage?"

"Not yet. We are affected by unknown energy and are unable to break through the final step."

"What difficulties are you facing?"

"A true spatial crystal is needed to understand the details of this energy."

"Has the exploration fleet made any new discoveries?"

"No, after all, as a cosmic wonder, the number of space crystals is extremely rare, Commander. The main reason is that we don't have a special device for detecting space crystals, so we can't scan the entire galaxy to find out if it exists like we did with the Gravity Stone."

"Has the Space Research Institute considered what kind of environment would increase the chances of crystallization?"

"Several theories have emerged, including the possible existence of black holes, neutron stars, and wormholes, but these are not areas that our current technology can address."

"Sigh, do we still have to go to the Star Sea Community to exchange for them? At the current pace, how long will it take us to exchange for space crystals?"

"It will take at least another 100 years."

"100 years. In the past, that would have been enough to develop three or four generations. But that's all we can do now. Keep the operations in the Terminator world going. Since the Star Sea Community has space crystals, it means that universe can be searched. Have their exploration fleets increase their efforts and not just limit themselves to the Milky Way. Go and check out the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds as well."

"Yes, Commander."

Through the Starry Sea Community on the Terminator's side, we also learned about the situation of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Because of the great distance, no civilization there has joined the Starry Sea Community, and it is even unclear whether there is any civilization at all. After all, the Starry Sea Community has not been established for long, and its main area of ​​activity is still limited to the Galactic Center region.

"As for Project Titan, continue to execute it. Although the initial idea was to build a star-level Titan warship to serve as the anchor of the fleet and facilitate travel between different worlds, it does not mean that it is not needed here. The mothership of the Reaper civilization is still a huge threat. If it weren't for the Queen Bee of this Reaper mothership making a stupid mistake, we would not have been able to obtain such a giant ship."

"I understand, Commander. The plan will proceed as scheduled. Based on the current technology, the design blueprints can be finalized in about a year. After six months of discussion, the final design can be finalized. Then, it will take at least five years of production before it can be rolled off the production line."

It will take several more years of adjustment before they can form a truly effective fighting force.

"It's been that long?"

"Commander, this time is not long. The fleet formed by the star-level motherships will not only consist of the motherships, but also other warships. According to the model simulation, the basic warship configuration should be equipped with at least 50 battleships, dozens of aircraft carriers, hundreds of cruisers, thousands of destroyers and thousands of frigates."

Given the large number of personnel and warships, researchers are considering merging the functions of destroyers and frigates, building new destroyers, and eliminating the frigate category. However, the war game simulations have not yet yielded results, so this organizational structure will remain the primary approach for now.

"Hmm, it's good to have a plan. By the way, how many of the other Reaper motherships have been located?"

"Ten motherships have been located so far. According to the deciphered data, the Reaper civilization has 36 queen bees."

There is one above them, and above them is a queen; their overall strength is truly astonishing.

"Hiss, with such formidable power, is the position of the Queen Mother uncertain?"

"Yes, like these queen bees, the Queen Mother also lives with her fleet and her whereabouts are unpredictable and impossible to pinpoint."

"Alright, let's take it one step at a time. By the way, how's the situation with the Guardians?"

"Commander, speaking of this, our gains this time are enormous. There are survivors from 10 civilizations on the refugee planet. Most of them are highly intelligent researchers, which is why they were able to complete the development of the ultimate weapon so quickly."

"Furthermore, based on research into the data stored within the Guardians, it can be determined that the Guardians' civilization has reached the level of a Level 4 civilization. However, they are still lacking in space technology and do not possess the technology to build stargates."

"I didn't expect the biggest gain to be from the Guardians. That makes sense. If it weren't for their overwhelming technological advantage, they wouldn't have been able to fight against the Reaper civilization for so long with such a small number of people."
