Up to now, only more than a hundred years have passed since Xiao Yu returned to the galaxy, and Xiao Yu has solved the problem of invading the small universe technology that has not been solved for more than a thousand years before. From this point, Xiao Yu once again realized the importance of obtaining foreign technology. If you can get it through a peaceful trade, you can get it through a peaceful trade, and if you can't get it through a peaceful trade, then you can get it through war.

"In any case, I must obtain the technology system of the Guardian civilization, and it is basically impossible to obtain these technologies through peaceful transactions, so ...... through war"

Xiao Yu is fully prepared for war. During this period of time, Xiao Yu plundered stars everywhere, at this moment, in the small universe, Xiao Yu has fully reserved more than 200 stars as fuel, if it were not for the small universe space is too small, the star density is too large and there are many bad effects, Xiao Yu still wants to get some more stars in.

The warship reserve has risen to 1.2 billion, and there are still only two stellar-class warships, but for the first time, the number of planetary-class warships has exceeded 5,000. This amount, Xiao Yu believes, is enough to deal with the Guardian Civilization.

"To deal with the Guardian civilization, python beasts are also a factor that must be taken into account. According to the previous evaluation of combat power, I believe that the python alien beast has at least the same combat power as the alien beast Taihao, and in terms of intelligence, it is far superior to the alien beast Taihao. Therefore, the comprehensive strength of the python beast is to surpass the beast Taihao. And there is another point, the python alien beast and the guardian civilization are united, and the overall strength of the two may not be as simple as one plus one. ”

"Although the performance of our ships is not far behind the ships of the Guardian civilization, we are superior in numbers, and we can drag them down even by relying on crowd tactics. Moreover, I don't think the Anaconda Alien is going to be a match for MSI Corps. After MSI's corpse crippled the python and wiped out the Radiance spaceship, the Guardian civilization had no defense. Overall. I don't think the Guardian civilization can pose any threat to us. In fact, in the galaxy now, the only one that can pose a threat to us is the Sweeper civilization. ”

"As an ancient civilization that has existed for tens of millions of years, it is impossible for the Guardian civilization to be without hole cards, even if we have so many warships and the corpses of the MSI civilization, we still can't take it lightly."

"Well, let's see the specific situation when the time comes, we only have a general understanding of the strength of the Guardian civilization. There is no way to start by making war arrangements now. The main goal now is to find the Guardian civilization. The Guardian civilization can hide well, but the star path they use to escape is not easy to hide, and this star path will inevitably face this side of the Andromeda Galaxy in the Milky Way. From here, to here. This area is 10,000 light-years long. With a width of 3,000 light years, the star path paved by the Guardian civilization will inevitably be within this area. Xiao Yu said, "In the long voyage before and in the recent past, I have created a quadrillion of highly sensitive detectors, and I will release all of these quadrillion detectors in this area." Conduct a carpet search of the area. ”

"A quadrillion!" This figure surprised the rest of the scientists. This number is too staggering, and the resources required are too great, I am afraid that an ordinary sixth-level civilization will have a little difficulty using all the energy of its civilization to do this.

The reason is simple. Since the Guardian Civilization has carried out such a large-scale star path construction, it is impossible not to consider these things in terms of concealment and security, so those stars that are star path nodes will inevitably be camouflaged and concealed. In the face of deliberate camouflage and concealment, detectors that rely on artificial intelligence are a bit inadequate, because they are too rigid. Therefore, this search project must be manually controlled, or, in some way, with the help of manual identification of suspicious targets. And a quadrillion of detectors, how much manual manipulation does it take to maneuver this?

I'm afraid that only Xiao Yu can do such a thing. First of all, now is not a time of war, Xiao Yu has a lot of computing power idle, second, it is not a period of great development of science and technology, the scientific and technological reserves have been almost consumed, and there is no need to consume much computing power in this regard, third, it is not a period of great construction, stellar warships have been built, and 1.2 billion conventional warships have been reserved, this number is enough.

Now, Xiao Yu's idle computing power is just used to search this vast area, digging three feet into the ground, and also to find out the guardian civilization.

There are still ten years left before reaching the predetermined area, and in this ten years, Xiao Yu has fully put the space bridge technology into practical application. Xiao Yu has developed a special instrument used to create a space bridge, and after obtaining the relevant location information of the Guardian Civilization Small Universe, this instrument can achieve the purpose of building a space bridge by tearing up part of the space.

Xiao Yu also made many improvements and practical exercises on this instrument, and for this reason, Xiao Yu also specially built a relatively small universe and used this instrument to conduct several simulated wars. Practical application has proved the effectiveness of such an instrument, and at the same time exposed the shortcomings of such an instrument. Just as ordinary bridges can be destroyed, the space bridges made by this instrument are also in danger of being destroyed, and once the space bridges are destroyed, all the matter on the bridges will randomly enter the shattered small universe, and eventually die quickly.

The military exercise showed that in the process of attacking the small universe, both sides of the war will focus on the space bridge. The attacking side will try to defend the Space Bridge, while the defending side will do their best to destroy the Space Bridge. Basically, it can be said that the war in the small universe revolves around the bridge of space.

To this end, Xiao Yu made many arrangements, and scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences also put forward many theories of war. Under such circumstances, Xiao Yu's fleet came to the predetermined area.

A quadrillion of detectors is like a dense swarm of locusts that have been emanated from the small universe. Although this number is huge, the deep universe is like a bottomless pit, easily swallowing up this large number of detectors.

"It will take about a hundred years to search the entire area, so wait." Xiao Yu thought silently.

The universe is too large and too dark, and if a sixth-level civilization wants to hide, it is very difficult for another sixth-level civilization to find out. If it weren't for the opportunity of the Guardian Civilization to build a star path and sail the river system this time, Xiao Yu would not have been able to find the Guardian Civilization.

"A star, no matter how hidden it is, even if you build a Dyson sphere to cover it in its entirety, so that no radiation is emitted, and then block any of its gravitational pull through a gravitational shielding device, it can only be hidden on a large scale, and if it is a hundred light-years away from such a star, my detector may not be able to find it, but I don't believe that if it is a light-year away, I can't find it. Facing an area of this size, a quadrillion of detectors, is enough...... As long as I can find a planet, I can find the Guardian civilization in a nutshell......"

A carpet search of this area with a quadrillion detector is the dumbest of all, but also the most reliable. This method is basically equivalent to draining the sea above the earth and looking for a gem.

In the midst of such a situation, time passed little by little, and by now, fifty years have passed. A quadrillion of detectors has spread across a huge area of 6,000 light-years, 1,000 light-years, and 500 light-years in height. So far, Xiao Yu has not gained anything.

It was a quiet area, thin of matter, with no stars, no planets, no light, no traces of any intelligent life other than Xiao Yu. But this should not be the case, if the Guardian civilization really wants to escape to the Andromeda Galaxy, then the A1 point of the star path must be built within this area.

"In fifty years, the probe will be able to fully explore this area, so keep waiting." Although things were a bit abnormal, Xiao Yu still chose to continue to wait, and even sent about 10 million warships out to assist these probes in their exploration.

But the result disappointed Xiao Yu, fifty years later, the intended area has been fully explored by Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu has not found any traces left by the guardian civilization. Xiao Yu did not stop there, but doubled the search scope again, and once again spent a hundred years conducting a carpet search.

But Xiao Yu still didn't find anything.

Then there may only be two left. First, the Star Road of the Guardian Civilization was not built here at all, and second, the hidden methods of the Guardian Civilization were so superb that Xiao Yu couldn't find them at all.

"It's a star, no matter how hidden it is, it won't be so hidden that I can't find it at a distance of a light year. And what I'm doing is a carpet search of this area. Could it be that the initial estimate was wrong? No, it can't be, but why haven't I found any traces of the Guardian civilization? What the hell is going on? ”

Looking at the empty universe in front of him, Xiao Yu thought silently, and was very puzzled in his heart.

But at this time, a detector in the distance reported an anomaly to Xiao Yu.

There used to be an ordinary star there, but now, all of a sudden, the star is gone. (To be continued......)
