If Andrei had been able to hear the conversations of these people, he would have known that their guess was not wrong.

The Asteroid Sea is one of the experimental bases for these advanced civilizations, and they are nothing more than guinea pigs used in this experiment.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the scientific committee discovered this asteroid-enclosed cluster during a fortuitous exploration, and the committee's researchers sprinkled human seeds in the various star systems in the cluster.

However, not long after the seeds of civilization were sown, the Scientific Committee withdrew all researchers and citizens in the galaxy and went to hibernation.

After the committee leader's authorization was obtained, Commander Jia Wei'an led ten small planet-level frigates to fly in the direction of the asteroid sea.

After passing through the "high speed" composed of dozens of wormhole passages and transit stations, the fleet entered the star field where the transit station was lost.

Ten ships were only able to begin normal hyperspace flights, and anomalous fluctuations in hyperspace were detected by probes launched by the Empire to various locations around the star field.

After a shrill siren, Li Mingze's consciousness came to the body of the imperial capital.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, our probe has detected an anomalous wave in hyperspace, and based on the direction of this fluctuation, we deduce that they are flying to the asteroid sea!" Tianyi's tone was a little flustered.

Based on her calculations on the speed at which this hyperspace wave moves, the other party's technology is far superior to that of the Empire.

You must know that with the development of science and technology, if you want a technology to make a breakthrough, then other aspects of science and technology must also make progress.

The same goes for hyperspace engines, where faster flight speeds mean more powerful metals are needed to make the engine, as well as more energy concentrations and reactors that can make so much energy...

Such a powerful reactor means countless technological breakthroughs ....

Therefore, the speed of the opponent's hyperspace voyage also determines the speed of the opponent's civilization development, and the universe is not the kind of environment that can be biased in the asteroid sea.

"How many warships are there in our empire's native star field that can be mobilized?" Li Mingze frowned.

"There are still two million Tiger Shark-class warships and twenty million alien warships left in our empire!" Tianyi closed his eyes and counted the data.

"Send all the alien fleets to intercept!"

"I want to know what kind of sacredness this fleet is!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and said, he already had a guess in his heart, this fleet was most likely the civilization of the so-called recorder.

His own move to unify the asteroid sea must have alarmed the civilization of this recorder.

It is also entirely possible for the other party to send out the fleet to inspect, but he doesn't know that the reason for the other party's arrival is that those wormhole transfer stations were destroyed in the first place.

A bunch of adverse events piled up is the reason they came.

"Obey the order, the alien fleet has begun to mobilize, and it is expected to be intercepted when the other party arrives at the location of the border outpost of the fifth hexagram limit of our star field!" (According to the four-elephant eight trigrams, the plane coordinate system is called the quadrant, the spatial three-dimensional coordinate system is called the hexagram limit, and the hexagram limit containing the x-axis positive half-axis, y-axis positive half-axis, and z-axis positive half-axis is called the first hexagram limit, which is determined in a counterclockwise direction above the xoy plane.) The parts below the first, second, third, and fourth hexagram limits are called the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight trigram limits, respectively. ）

"Let me see what this fleet is sacred." Li Mingze looked at the small red dot that was moving on the holographic screen in front of him and said in a deep voice.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the alien fleet has gathered in the star system where the target will next jump out of hyperspace.

"The other party is expected to arrive in ten seconds!"

“5、4、3、2、1！”

"The opposing fleet has arrived!" With a loud roar from the observer, ten five-kilometer-long silver ships appeared in the starry sky.

The side of the ship reveals a compass and protractor logo, along with the words "Supreme Scientific Council of Humanity" painted next to it.

"Is this the Supreme Scientific Committee of Mankind very consistent with the character of the recorder who experimented on the asteroid sea?" Li Mingze is more and more sure that the recorder is undoubtedly this civilization.

However, he didn't notice that the words of the Supreme Scientific Council of Mankind were spray-painted in Chinese characters.

"Excuse me...."Before Li Mingze could finish his words and send them out, the opposing fleet suddenly shot out tens of thousands of crescent-shaped beams, cutting millions of alien warships into several sections.

"Damn! Fight back now! Li Mingze didn't expect the other party to declare war without declaring it, and he couldn't help but hate him so much.

The remaining 10 million or so alien warships began to scatter and rush towards the ten ships.

"Acid Bomb Attack!"

"Shoot a bone spur cannonball!" Although the alien fleet kept attacking these ten ships, the shields of the ten ships only caused a slight ripple.

"You can't break their shields at all." Li Mingze was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the concentrated attacks of tens of millions of alien warships did not break their shields.

"Your Majesty, the other party is using a special shield, which is specially designed for low-level civilizations."

"If any attack doesn't reach the limit of the opponent's shield for a split second, their shield won't break."

"Conversely, if the strength is reached, it only takes one blow to shatter the shield."

"We can make this kind of shield too, but the upper limit of the shield is much lower than the normal shield we equip."

"This makes them very vulnerable against warships of the same class, but they are indestructible to low-level civilizations." Tianyi suddenly appeared and explained.

"Can we make it too?" Li Mingze couldn't believe it, how could he not know that the empire still had this kind of technology.

"Because the level of technology of the civilization we encountered is not about the same as ours, this technology is not ......," Tianyi explained softly.

"Order the alien fleet to retreat, and don't make senseless sacrifices." Li Mingze decisively gave the order to retreat.

The fighting alien fleet suddenly turned around and retreated towards the outer edge of the star system.

And the committee battleship that had just finished accumulating energy seemed to feel that it was really boring to bully the weak after destroying millions of alien warships, so it did not pursue again, but immediately entered hyperspace and disappeared into the universe.

Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief, and could only withdraw the fleet deployed in the Asteroid Sea to the side first, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Before the ships arrived, he had to think of a way to deal with the fleet.

At this time, on the ten small planet-class frigates, Commander Jia Wei'an sent back a message to the committee headquarters:

"The reason for the loss of contact with the transit station has been discovered, and a group of large space creatures are entrenched here, which may be a growing civilization......"
