Chapter 140: Pan Gu Man Is Too Sinister! !

“Uncle Da, how many of our ships will survive if they self-destruct?”
Zhao Yu suddenly thought of the enemy’s shuttle ships self-destructing and voiced his concerns.
These fifty thousand ships equipped with new propulsion technology represented all he had acc.u.mulated these days. He was reluctant to see them being wasted by nine warships.
“Commander, don’t worry. I’ve already accounted for such a situation and distributed our forces. Apart from the first encircling layer, other warships are outside the self-destruction range…”
He could accept the loss of ten thousand warships…
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, feeling a bit regretful. If their ships could also undergo a particle black hole collapse, they would only need one to annihilate the enemy.
What a pity.
Under Uncle Da’s command, ten thousand warships changed formation again. One thousand warships started to close the encircling circle, approaching the enemy.
Based on the speed of the laser beams from the guard ships, an effective attack could be made once they approached within 30,000 kilometers.
“Captain, they’ve begun to shrink the encircling circle. And the over forty thousand warships in the periphery are outside the range of our particle black hole collapse bomb…”
In the face of certain death, Kether strangely calmed down. “It seems they’ve just entered the second level and only have particle black hole propellers…” He also realized that if the enemy had a particle black hole collapse bomb, they would only need one ship to approach this distance, not tens of thousands of warships.
Kether walked to the window, looking at Pluto with a look of reluctance in his eyes. He murmured, “Goodbye, Moro…”
“Captain, over a thousand enemy warships have closed to within 30,000 kilometers and are attacking. Our ship’s energy shield is beginning to decrease…”
Kether did not respond. In just a few seconds, he relived his life experiences in his mind.
“Blast it!”
“Shush-!”
On the screen, nine warships disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep, dark hole.
The next second, tens of thousands of warships in the first encircling layer were all destroyed by an unknown force.
“Commander, they blew up…”
“Yeah, I saw it!”
Zhao Yu nodded and spoke, “Send the remaining warships to the frontline…” “Ten thousand warships, carrying hundreds of thousands of robots, were blown up just like that. Zhao Yu didn’t feel sorry at all, after all, these things could be manufactured as long as there were resources.
“Commander, the Great Xia has united the world. Should we do something?” Hearing this, Zhao Yu was taken aback. The Great Xia had such courage? “They succeeded this quickly?!”
“Yes, Bicheng City has gathered 95% of the world’s elites and rich people. Without these people obstructing, the ordinary people were leaderless and were easily pacified…”
Uncle Da also found it miraculous. He had just finished discussing with Colonel Chu, borrowed a million robots and over a hundred warships, thinking that it might take some time.
Who would have thought that the other side would conquer the world without any bloodshed?
The only thing that puzzled him was that the Great Xia did not conquer one by one, but instead scattered over a hundred warships like a G.o.ddess scattering flowers, each warship going to one place, and with a few words from a few scholars, it was all over.
No battles, no riots, just a few words, he wondered how they did it.
“Auda, I sent Kether out just as you suggested…”
“This time, I’ve made quite a sacrifice for you…”
In the mothership’s medical room, Moro was talking to the unconscious Auda. “Knock, knock, knock-!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Moro went out. It was one of his captains.
“Captain, Kether is dead…”
“What?!”
Moro was shocked, his face showing disbelief, “What happened?!”
This was naturally an act. According to the plan given by Auda, the 10th Fleet was not a sacrificial lamb but the main attack force this time.
“We were all deceived by the Pangu civilization. They mastered the second level of technology but disguised as the first level. The 10th Fleet led by Kether fell into a trap and all self-destructed…”
“What?!”
This time, Moro was truly shocked. He hurriedly moved to the command room. “Captain, according to the results of the gravity wave detector, the speed of the enemy’s warships is equivalent to ours. This is the speed that can only be achieved with a particle black hole propeller…”
“Before this, they were disguising, sailing at a speed 20 times lower than ours…”
“d.a.m.n!!”
Moro didn’t expect that he had already overestimated the enemy, but it turned out he still underestimated them.
“These Pangu people are too treacherous!!”
“When they first arrived, they disguised as a civilization just entering the cosmos, then we uncovered them…”
He quickly thought of something, “So you’re saying, the s.p.a.ceship near Jupiter was also their decoy set up in advance?!”
Moro was shocked, and so were the others in the room.
“Captain, these Pangu people are indeed cunning. Before we arrived, they had already set many traps…”
“At first, they made us believe their civilization level didn’t exceed Level 1…” “Then, they mixed true and false between Level 1 early and middle stage civilizations…”
“That s.p.a.ceship near Jupiter was clearly part of their scheme…”
“They made us send reconnaissance ships to check, making us believe their real technological level was only late Level 1…”
“Who knows…”
“They’ve actually reached the technology level of an early-stage Level 2 civilization…”
“The so-called Voyager 1 might just be some kind of decoy…”
One of the captains a.n.a.lyzed, “Captain, the good news is that their civilization level is only at the early stage of Level 2…”
“Captain Kether may be dead, but before his death, he took down tens of thousands of the enemy’s warships…”
“If their technology level were equal to ours, a single ship could have destroyed the 10th fleet. Instead, they lost tens of thousands of warships in a surrounding formation…”
Moro frowned and counter-questioned, “How do you know their actions this time weren’t a disguise?!”
“This…”
Everyone looked at each other, hesitant to jump to conclusions.
But Moruo had a flood of thoughts, saying solemnly, “Looking at it this way, the previous death of the No. 10 shuttle wasn’t a mystery, but their trap…” “These Pangu people are extremely cunning. Considering their behavior, sacrificing tens of thousands of warships this time might be a setup for the next war…”
“Once we believe they really are just an early-stage Level 2 civilization, when they show their fangs at the critical moment, we are doomed…”
One captain didn’t quite believe it, “Captain, those were tens of thousands of warships. To control them would need at least 800,000 people. Our 10th fleet had at most a few thousand people…”
“They coldly sacrificed 800,000 people just to kill our few thousand?!”
“No, there might not be any people on their warships…”
Moro shook his head, “Even if the ships were human-controlled, given the ruthlessness of this Pangu civilization, the probability is very high that they would discard 800,000 people as a strategy…”
The more he thought about their experiences since arriving in the solar system, the more terrified he felt.
As if they had fallen into a ma.s.sive web, step by step walking into the enemy’s well-laid trap.
Each time was unexpected, each time it seemed like the enemy was at a certain level. But each time, they revealed something new.
Initially, they thought that the Earth was a zero-level civilization. Who knew that not long after, they discovered through observation that the enemy might be an early-stage or mid-stage Level 1 civilization.
After a lot of probing, they logically deduced that the s.p.a.ceship near Jupiter could truly reflect the enemy’s tech level, finally determining it as a late-stage Level 1 civilization.
It turned out to be a trap!
Even now, the early-stage Level 2 civilization level shown by the enemy might be fake, possibly still luring them.
The captains thought deeply, and the more they thought, the more fearful they became.
“This is terrifying. We’ve never met such an enemy before…”
“They are not just calculating us, they are calculating any civilization that reaches the solar system…”
“If, initially, the fleet that came out of the wormhole wasn’t us, but some other fleet, the result might be the same…”
“Captain, if not, should we retreat?!”
