Chapter 87: Assistance Contact
"Butland, what's going on?" George asked Butland, the commander of the 7th Fleet.
"Reporting to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the presence of so many globular clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy appears to be the work of an advanced civilization. We dare not act rashly, therefore we request support."
"Besides this advanced civilization, what about the other civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"There are many powerful civilizations. The Andromeda Galaxy is not only larger than the Milky Way, but also has a far greater number of advanced civilizations. From the information we've intercepted, other advanced civilizations are very wary of these globular clusters, and they dare not cross the line."
"Then have we discovered traces of the 'Light-Descent Civilization'? Could these globular clusters be a 'Light-Descent Civilization' base or ruins or something?"
"I don't know, but it's possible. I've already contacted the Earth Empire's fleet headquarters and asked them to request assistance from the Lunar Empire. The Lunar Empire has already begun a thorough and comprehensive scan of the globular clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy, and this scan will take about fifty days."
"From the perspective of convenience and rapid combat, the Triangulum system is relatively close to the Andromeda system, allowing the Lunar Empire to quickly launch stars or neutron warplanes at any time. Therefore, the Lunar Empire did not send more warships this time. In addition, both the Earth Empire and the Lunar Empire have deployed more warships and strengthened their defenses."
"clear."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, what should our next move be?"
"Let's wait for the Moon Empire's scan results. Before that, we'll make contact with other advanced civilizations. In the Andromeda Galaxy, everyone remember one thing: those who submit to me prosper, those who oppose me perish!" George warned all the other fleet commanders.
"Yes."
"Deputy Commander, we previously discovered a technologically advanced human civilization, about 80,000 light-years away from here."
"Butterland, let's go there then. Let's make contact and scout things out first."
"As ordered."
The combined fleet turned around and quickly traversed a distance of 80,000 light-years to reach the vicinity of that human-civilized planetary city, where it continued to hide in the Klein space.
It's called a planetary city because this human civilization possesses sixty-five Earth-like planets within a ten-light-year radius. Each planet is teeming with countless warships. The existence of so many habitable planets within a ten-light-year radius suggests they were transported from elsewhere.
"Breaking news! Following the discovery of the supermassive spinning binary black hole that suddenly appeared in the Milky Way, Imperial scientists have discovered another supermassive black hole that suddenly appeared in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Before the appearance of this supermassive black hole, scientists were surprised to find that many stars seemed to suddenly appear and disappear. Imperial scientists believe this is evidence of a civilization more advanced than ours."
"Live battle report. The rampaging Zerg have captured another of our space bases, but we have also recaptured the three planets they occupied. It's fair to say the Empire has won; long live the Sand Star Empire! The war between our allies, the Protoss, and the Beetle army is fierce; both sides are locked in a stalemate, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage. The Empire is sending more warships to support our allies. In the constellations of Jade Forest, Boulder, Maple Leaf, Crown, Droplet, Golden River, and Purple Ship, battles between advanced civilizations seem to have just broken out. Our Andromeda system seems even more chaotic than before. The Empire's high command is considering whether we should flee this war-torn system. It seems there's actually hope."
"Our genius scientist, Peake, the most remarkable young scientist in the entire empire, claims to have just discovered a method for intergalactic travel. However, Peake asserts that while the method is feasible, some technologies still need to be overcome, and it is estimated that it will take six hundred years to achieve. If what Peake says is true, then in six hundred years we can reach the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud, and see what those rotating binary black holes and supermassive black holes are all about. Six hundred years of anticipation."
"Now, let's report that disheartening news again: the star-transfer experiment has failed once more, for the 69th time. Let us thank the countless scientists of humanity for their efforts over the past century. Although we can move and terraform planets, moving stars is a major hurdle. Imperial scientists are optimistic that once star-transfer is achieved, the Empire's technological and military strength will reach a higher level and rise to a new stage."
The combined fleet naturally intercepted a large amount of video information, the most important of which was how to make initial contact with this human civilization on the sand planet.
"What do you all think?" George asked the commanders.
"Since the humans of this sand planet are capable of transporting planets and warp drive, their technological level should be comparable to, or even surpass, that of the Roman Empire in the Canis Major Dwarf System."
"That genius scientist Peak actually claims to have found a way to navigate across river systems. I'm quite curious." Zhou Yuan, being a scientist himself, naturally paid close attention to his colleagues.
"Brother Zhou, aren't you kind of sympathetic to each other?" Lefia secretly made a face at him. Wei Shan tugged at Lefia and made a quiet gesture, and Lefia indeed quieted down.
“Princess, that’s true. Dean Zhou is always quite interested in anything new and interesting,” George said, trying to smooth things over for Zhou Yuan.
The fleet commanders began discussing how to make contact with this human civilization.
"If all of our fleets suddenly appear, it will probably cause panic and unnecessary trouble."
"Yes. But if all our fleets have to appear before the Sand Star people, I personally think it would be better to appear together now."
"Gentlemen, the Sand Star people are at war with the Zerg. Could we send a fleet to help them, gain their favor, and then make contact naturally?"
"Well, that's a good idea."
"There are many advanced civilizations in this galaxy, and they are constantly at war. Once a malicious civilization gains the ability to travel across galaxies, it will probably be a disaster for other galactic civilizations."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, as long as we determine that the other side is a malicious civilization, we will resolutely eliminate them, whether it's the Triangle Galaxy, the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, or any other galaxy." George's words were quite in line with the approach of the Lunar Empire fleet in the Triangle Galaxy, after all, the Lunar Empire had done many similar things in the Triangle Galaxy.
"Yes," the commanders echoed.
"Butland, you lead the 7th Fleet over there. Dean Zhou, we still need the three of you to make contact with the Sand Star people."
“Yes.” “Understood.” Butland and Zhou Yuan responded respectively.
The 7th Fleet picked up Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Leifia and quickly left the Combined Fleet.
Far from the planetary city, the 7th Fleet entered normal space from Klein space, then jumped into warp space, arriving in less than an hour at a terrestrial planet where human warships and the Zerg army were locked in a fierce battle. On the planet's surface, countless Zerg were besieging the human forces of Sandstar. The Sandstar humans were bombarding the Zerg with lasers, ultra-long-range cannons, and even neutron bombs were being dropped on the planet to bombard the enormous, long, serpentine Zerg that spewed jets of plasma.
The 7th Fleet immediately jumped out of warp space, releasing a large number of combat modules and drones. The combat modules crashed directly into the dense swarms of Zerg dragons that were fighting human warships in the air at near the speed of light, while the drones fired ultra-high-speed laser beams at the dragons.
"An unknown human civilization? Who are you?"
"Hello, we are the 7th Fleet of the Earth Human Empire. Our home has been attacked by the Zerg, and we are here for revenge."
"Humans from Earth? Huh?!" The initial question was followed by astonishment at the terrifying combat power of the combat modules and drones that were rapidly and frantically destroying the flying dragons.
The plasma streams emanating from the terrestrial planets were increasing, and these plasma streams were rapidly shooting towards the various warships of the 7th Fleet.
Do you still have armed forces on the planet's surface?
"The ground forces are locked in a fierce battle with the crawlers. I am the fleet commander, Carlando. And who are you?"
"Butland, Commander of the 7th Fleet of the Earth Empire. Carlando, do you still want to keep this planet?"
“Butland, just look at all the bombs we’ve dropped, and you’ll know we don’t need them anymore. We just want to wipe out the Zerg on this planet as quickly as possible; this planet is of no use to us anymore.”
"Then why don't you just destroy this planet once and for all?"
"Destroy them all at once? This is just a bug on a single planet. Although we have many large nuclear weapons, if we use them to deal with bugs, the number of nuclear weapons will not be enough to meet our needs. The Zerg have occupied many, many planets."
"Understood. Please recall all ground forces on this planet; we are going to destroy it."
"To drop a large nuclear bomb?"
You'll find out then.
"it is good."
The human forces on the surface of the planet Sand Star began to evacuate, relentlessly pursued by the swarming Zerg. However, the dense barrage of light projectiles from the numerous robots and mechs deployed by the 7th Fleet immediately halted the Zerg's advance. The Sand Star human forces quickly boarded transport ships and, under the escort of Sand Star human warships and the 7th Fleet, swiftly departed the planet.
The number of flying dragons in the sky was drastically reduced under the rapid attack of the combat modules and drones, and they were all annihilated in less than half an hour.
The Sand Star Fleet began to focus on how the 7th Fleet would destroy the planet.
A Sirius sniper ship from the 7th Fleet fired a beam of intelligent energy at the planet, which shattered into many fragments.
"Butland, there are still Zerg living in those fragments. We must wipe them out completely!"
"Okay. Let's get away from here."
The 7th Fleet released two batches of portal modules. One batch of portal modules began to assemble rapidly in the many fragments of the shattered asteroid, while the other batch of portal modules flew at the speed of light toward the star near the planet, arriving near the star in no time, and then also assembled rapidly.
Two portals were activated, and the star suddenly appeared at the site of the planetary fragments. These fragments were naturally evaporated by the star's high temperature, leaving no trace.
The two portals automatically disassembled and then returned to their positions on the 7th Fleet warships.
The people of Sand Star had already transmitted the video of this shocking scene to their home planet.
