93: Chapter 93 Plan to Capture the Alien Mothership
Chen Yu already knew the content of the quantum signal sent back by the previous level 2 civilization.
It has now been confirmed that the level 2 civilization will send a colonial fleet to Earth.
However, Chen Yu thought of a question: since his No. 1 Mothership's Warp Engine was broken, could he wait for the level 2 civilization's colonial fleet to arrive, capture them, and then remove their Warp Engines from their warships?
"Intelligent Brain, I have a question for you. Do you think we can obtain their Warp Engines from the level 2 civilization's colonial fleet?"
"[Captain, your idea is excellent, I also thought of it. If we can capture their Mothership this time, I can remove its Warp Engine and temporarily install it on the No. 1 Mothership to achieve superluminal travel.]"
The frigates and landing ships on Chen Yu's Mothership are unable to perform light-speed flight.
For example, among Chen Yu's spaceships, only the No. 1 Mothership has a Warp Engine.
His landing ships and frigates operating on Earth can only perform conventional flight because they are all stored inside the No. 1 Mothership when traveling through space.
"Good, Intelligent Brain, you must capture their colonial Mothership then, so that the No. 1 Mothership can achieve superluminal flight."
"[This way, we can possess a speed of approximately 300 times the speed of light, allowing us to travel to the nearest black hole to Earth and search for materials to repair the Level 7 Civilization's Warp Engine.]"
"The raw materials for repairing the Warp Engine, are they near a black hole?"
"[Yes, let me first explain the working principle of the Warp Engine. To achieve superluminal travel, it means tearing space, which is equivalent to integrating the spaceship into another dimension.]"
"[The Warp Engine utilizes the curvature of space to create a warp bubble around the spaceship through antimatter propulsion. This warp bubble compresses the space in front of the spaceship and stretches the space behind it. The spaceship itself remains in this relatively static warp bubble, and through the continuous contraction and stretching of space, it propels the spaceship to achieve superluminal flight.]"
"[And the fuel for the Warp Engine is a type of negative energy exotic matter, a type of dark matter, a substance with both negative mass and internal energy. It can only be found near the Roche limit of black holes, because only extremely massive celestial bodies like black holes can distort spacetime and produce this dark matter.]"
"[As long as we have this crucial raw material, the repair of the Level 7 Civilization's Warp Engine will be basically halfway complete!]"
Chen Yu still knew about black holes, the most terrifying existences in the universe.
If a black hole were discovered in the vast universe, it would not be a good thing.
Moreover, the so-called exotic antimatter raw material was still near the Roche limit of the black hole.
If one were not careful, they would fall into the black hole, which would be an unimaginable horror and utter damnation!
"Intelligent Brain, will it be very dangerous to collect this material around a black hole? If we fall within the Roche limit of a black hole, I'm afraid I'll become the first Earthling to see the inside of a black hole!"
"[There is indeed some danger, but if we are fully prepared and choose a less volatile small black hole, we should be able to collect the raw materials smoothly.]"
Chen Yu was speechless; there really was danger!
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, the closest black hole to our Earth is said to be thousands of light-years away."
"[Captain, your Earth's data is incorrect. According to the No. 1 Mothership's radio receiver and gravitational wave detector, I have already detected high-energy radiation from a black hole closest to Earth. It is approximately only 200 light-years away from us.]"
Chen Yu was startled!
"Intelligent Brain, I've read books, don't lie to me. Our Earth scientists, after so many years of observation, concluded that the closest black hole to us is Gaia BH1, which is 1500 light-years away, isn't it? Why are you suddenly saying there's a black hole so close to us, only 200 light-years away?"
"[Your Earth's observation technology is no match for the gravitational wave detector on the No. 1 Mothership! However, this black hole 200 light-years away is only a small black hole with 120 times the mass of the sun, but as long as it's a black hole, it has the exotic antimatter raw material we need.]"
Chen Yu pouted, that's true, no matter how small it is, it's still a black hole!
However, this directly overturned the current research of Earth scientists on black holes.
It turned out that there was a black hole so close to them, Chen Yu felt a little scared just thinking about it.
"Okay, we still have 10 months. Now that the United States is providing materials, we will strive to complete the construction of the first homeland-class spaceship as soon as possible, and also build a fleet of Attack Ships, all equipped with high-energy quantum laser cannons. When those level 2 civilization fleets arrive, I want to catch them off guard!"
"[Okay, Captain, as long as you have enough raw materials, none of these are a problem!]"
Chen Yu's current homeland-class spaceship is already one-third built, and now there are abundant raw materials.
Chen Yu believed that in another 2 months, all the parts for the first homeland-class spaceship would be manufactured.
At the same time, the space elevator was also under construction.
In less than 3 months at most, the parts for the first homeland-class spaceship could be transported to low-Earth orbit via the space elevator for assembly.
In the next 7 months, Chen Yu could utilize the powerful loading capacity of the homeland-class spaceship.
He would mine more raw materials between planets in the Solar System and build a powerful Attack Ship fleet to protect Earth.
...
At this moment, 270 light-years away, at the spaceport of Mesolas Star.
A level 2 civilization homeland-class colonial ship was undergoing its final material resupply.
In the spaceship's command center, stood a man in a golden tailcoat, his face similar to that of Earthlings.
However, his ears were pointed, similar to elves in Earth anime.
He stood by the command center's glass, gazing out at the vast, boundless starry sky.
The direction he was looking was precisely the star field where Earth was located.
"A life-bearing planet worth 20 billion galaxy coins, with only a level 0.68 civilization. It seems this mission will be very simple!"
The man in the tailcoat murmured to himself.
Just then, a uniformed soldier walked into the command center and respectfully approached:
"Captain Suo He, our colonial Mothership's resupply is complete. This time we are carrying a total of 50 Star Destroyers, 20 landing ships, and 10 exploration ships, with a total of 1500 warriors. The spaceship's energy has been replenished, and all necessary materials are ready. We can depart at any time!"
"Good, send the final departure notice to the space control tower. We depart immediately!"
"Yes, Captain Suo He!"
Subsequently, a huge homeland-class colonial ship slowly glided into the dark interstellar space.
"Activate Warp Engine, enter dimensional space, superluminal flight!"
With Captain Suo He's command, this homeland-class colonial Mothership, approximately ten kilometers long, equivalent to a city.
Ripples spread around it, and then it quickly disappeared into space, flying towards Earth at nearly 300 times the speed of light.
