Chapter 582: Chapter 344: A Century He Xingzhou directly entered the gravity weapon manufacturing zone on Lu Ban Planet. The so-called gravity bomb is actually a gravity converter that uses the strong energy output from the antimatter reactor to transform into gravity and generate a powerful gravity field to attack enemy targets. The greater the mass of the target, the more powerful the gravity bomb becomes. On Lu Ban Planet, gravity bombs are being mass-produced. As long as the Maoshi Star Civilization doesn’t start a war within ten years, He Xingzhou can equip all the Blue Star Alliance’s warships with this new weapon. “Greetings, Commander!” On Lu Ban Planet, humanoid robots occasionally greet him. These robots are silicon-based life forms and part of the Blue Star Civilization. “Commander.” Lu Ban’s avatar appeared in front of He Xingzhou; it was a floating spherical robot. “How is the gravity cannon manufacture coming along?” He Xingzhou asked, which was his most concerned matter. Lu Ban said: “The gravity cannon does not launch gravity bombs but artificial gravitational waves. We are currently at the gravitational wave generator stage, expecting at least fifty years for the entire research and manufacturing process.” “And what about the warp engine upgrade?” He Xingzhou asked again. “We are building Level 8 warp engines and Level 8 warp speed battleships… Level 9 warp speed battleships are also under simultaneous development, expected to take eighty years,” replied Lu Ban. Having mastered the grand unified model, they can create strong gravitational fields to warp space-time, creating higher curvature warp bubbles to enhance the speed of warp engines and the level of warp speed battleships. Once they can manufacture Level 9 warp speed battleships, it will mean the Blue Star Civilization formally ascends to Level 3.5 civilization. Within the entire M45 Pleiades Star Cluster, there is currently no civilization beyond Level 3.5—excluding the Zerg, this BUG. “At that time, the Pleiades Star Civilization will probably also have Level 9 warp speed battleships,” He Xingzhou thought. As for hyperspace transition battleships surpassing Level 9 warp speed battleships, even the Orion Royal Court would not bestow these upon the Pleiades Star Civilization. Hyperspace transition technology is the key for a civilization to break through Level 3.5. The Three Dukes of the Orion Arm are also just Level 4 civilizations, so they would never share such important technology with their subordinates. “Don’t rule out the possibility that they might take matters into their own hands…” He Xingzhou pondered. If Marquis Yunxiao dispatched warships, it would be a real dimension reduction strike against them. This point must be communicated with the Star Trading Group in advance. During the Blue Star Civilization’s war, they must closely monitor the Orion Royal Court. “To the control center.” He Xingzhou headed to the center of the Mechanical Planet; he had an important task to do here. Besides the gravity cannon and Level 9 warp speed battleship, there’s another thing equally important in war, which only the Planet Factory can produce. The Maoshi Star Civilization stopped expanding and has been busily preparing for war. All forces know that when both sides go to war, it’s a fight to the death! The M45 Pleiades Star Cluster will unite! The Blue Star Civilization accelerated the reception of properties left by the Star Trading Group, building numerous space outposts and space fortresses within the star cluster as bases. In terms of industrial construction, the number of Constant Star Furnaces continues to expand, with the second Mechanical Planet, Lu Ban No.2, and the second War Star also beginning to be built. In other star clusters of the Orion Arm, war has been ongoing. For civilizations above Level 3, thirty-five years pass in the blink of an eye. But for the Supreme Governor of the Maoshi Star Civilization, Jiang Gu, each year is torture. She remains on the primitive planet undergoing “punishment.” The beast her consciousness parasitized has a long lifespan but is very weak. If the parasitized body dies, it will harm her consciousness, and if the consciousness retrieval is not timely, it may even lead to her direct death. So over the years, she has been struggling with hunger, predators, and extreme weather in the primitive natural world, living a very difficult life. “Boom!” As a huge creature fell, Jiang Gu, in a wretched state, crawled out of the cave. Fortunately, she possesses advanced intelligence to set traps to attack enemies. Otherwise, this giant beast could easily kill her. Even so, her body is full of scars. “Today is the last day.” On a stone, Jiang Gu used her claws to carve marks every day to record time. The sky shone a light upon her, her consciousness transmitted back to the Virtual Universe. Marquis Yunxiao in the palace of the Virtual Universe sat high above the clouds, overlooking Jiang Gu, and asked: “A hundred years have passed, do you know your mistake?” “Jiang Gu knows her mistake!” Although furious inside, Jiang Gu’s expression and words were extremely respectful. “If my Pleiades Civilization surpasses you, I will imprison you in the body of a beast for ten thousand years!” She thought angrily. Unfortunately, this wish is too far-fetched; she fears the chance to realize it won’t come in this lifetime. Marquis Yunxiao didn’t care if she was truly repentant; anyway, Jiang Gu wouldn’t dare betray him now. He said: “Now the time has come, I have arranged people to help the Pleiades Civilization build a strong enough fleet and bestowed weapons upon you against the Blue Star Civilization’s War Stars.” “You return now and launch the final attack against the Blue Star Civilization. Defeat them in fifty years, and take the M45 Star Cluster within three hundred years!” “Yes, my lord!” Jiang Gu responded, her consciousness finally returning to her body. “My lord, you have finally awakened!” In the Maoshi Star Civilization, Jiang Gu’s frozen body finally awakened; these people were unaware that their revered Supreme Governor had been punished as a beast for a hundred years. They only knew that Jiang Gu went to learn from Marquis Yunxiao for a hundred years. Privately, these people even envied her and hoped that they too could become Galaxy Nobles.
