153: Chapter 153: King Cecilia of Level 3 Civilization

Chen Yu and the AI designed a biological bomb together.

One was implanted in every Mesolas Star native.

Of course, Solara definitely didn't have one.

As long as these people tried to resist or threatened Chen Yu's safety, the AI would detonate the biological bombs in their bodies immediately.

Their brain stems would be instantly shattered, killing them outright!

Everything was ready.

Chen Yu, Solara, and Xiao Jiazi, who had always served Chen Yu, stood in the control room of the universal homeland-class spaceship.

"Let's depart! Our destination is the nearest black hole, 200 light-years away!"

Upon receiving the command, the AI controlled the universal to activate its Warp Engine.

[Warp Engine activated successfully. Locating black hole target, location successful. Entering an alternate dimension for spatial travel...]

Spatial distortions appeared in front of and behind the universal homeland-class spaceship.

This type of Warp Engine, belonging to a civilization not even at the peak of level 2, could only create the most basic spatial distortions.

It caused the space in front to contract and the space behind to stretch, achieving faster-than-light travel.

This was also the most basic faster-than-light travel technology in the universe.

The higher the civilization level, the stronger the ability to compress and stretch space, and the greater the multiple of faster-than-light speed.

For example, the spaceship Chen Yu captured was only a spaceship from a peak level 2 civilization; its Warp Engine could only form the most basic alternate dimension.

Therefore, its speed was only 300 times the speed of light, whereas Chen Yu's Level 7 Civilization Number One mothership could create deep-level alternate dimensions.

As long as the spaceship entered this space, it could achieve speeds of tens of millions of times the speed of light.

The universal slowly disappeared into space, heading towards the black hole 200 light-years away.

[Captain, the universal spaceship has initiated faster-than-light travel and is operating smoothly. It is estimated to reach the black hole in 8 months.]

'Alright, another long journey!'

Fortunately, Chen Yu had Solara and Xiao Jiazi by his side this time, so it wouldn't be as boring.

...

Mesolas Star, 270 light-years from Earth.

Nearly two years had passed, and the Mesolas fleet they dispatched had sent back no news.

Even the envoys from Cecilia Star had visited several times, asking if they had indeed taken over that life-bearing planet.

But nearly two years had passed, and the Mesolas was like a stone dropped into the sea; not a single signal had been returned.

This time, the supreme ruler of Cecilia Star, King Cecilia, personally came to Mesolas Star.

Inside the Kunst Star Supreme Council Hall.

The tall and robust King Cecilia sat on the highest main seat.

Beside him sat Queen Solas, the supreme leader of Mesolas Star, whose skin was light and resembled that of Earth women.

She was graceful, noble, and exceptionally beautiful.

Because she was older than Solara, she exuded a mature charm and was full of allure.

It was evident how talented the women of Mesolas Star were in terms of beauty; no wonder the planet's name even included 'Mesolas' (beauty).

King Cecilia, from the main seat, questioned with displeasure:

"Queen Solas, about two years ago, I dispatched our General Cesi to your planet to discuss the purchase of that life-bearing planet. You said you could take over that planet in one year. Now, nearly two years have passed, so why is there no news at all?"

Queen Solas was also very puzzled. The fleet they dispatched, according to the plan, should have sent back a signal a year ago, reporting the success of colonization.

Now, nearly two years had passed, and that planet should have been successfully colonized long ago.

The Mesolas homeland-class spaceship should have returned by now, but not only was there no news, the spaceship's whereabouts were unknown.

Seeing Solas frown in distress, King Cecilia continued:

"Queen Solas, where is the integrity of your Mesolas Star? Do you think our Cecilia Star cannot afford the price, and you sold that life-bearing planet to someone else?"

Solas quickly explained; she could not bear such an accusation.

"King Cecilia, we absolutely did not sell that life-bearing planet to anyone else. Since you have come personally, I will not hide it from you. The homeland-class spaceship we sent out has not sent back a single message to this day. I suspect they may have encountered trouble on that planet. It's possible that the information transmitted back by the previous exploration vessel had an error regarding that planet's civilization level."

King Cecilia frowned, gazing at Solas, seemingly trying to discern if she was lying.

"Then, will you dispatch another fleet?"

Solas sighed and said:

"Our planet has a total of only 5 homeland-class fleets. Now, one has been dispatched and is completely out of contact. If that planet truly has something strange, we would need to send at least two homeland-class fleets. Then, our Mesolas Star homeland would only have two homeland-class spaceships left, which would be a great burden on our defense."

Solas looked at King Cecilia, seemingly awaiting his attitude.

"Hmph, Solas, do you want me to send a fleet? However, the price will no longer be what was previously discussed."

Solas was also helpless. Since her own fleet had run into problems, she could only lower the price for King Cecilia.

"We previously discussed 30 billion galaxy coins. Now, I'll reduce it by 10 billion, to only 20 billion galaxy coins. I will send a homeland-class mothership to cooperate with you."

King Cecilia was also a shrewd person; this was the perfect time to drastically cut the price.

"Heh heh, Queen Solas, a high-quality life-bearing planet is only 20 billion galaxy coins, and besides, the specific situation of this planet is still unknown. Your price still lacks sincerity!"
