In Wharton, tens of thousands of light-years away from Saka.
"Leader, Commander Lin Yu has sent a message. The prey has entered the cage. We can begin the operation!"
"Send the command immediately. Activate the Super Gravity Countermeasure System!"
"Understood. The command has been sent. The system is activating … Activation successful!"
The Super Gravity Countermeasure System was a system that Li Lizi had developed to deal with the Neutron Warstar.
It could not be used for actual attack or defense. Its only use was to slightly adjust the gravitational environment of Saka.
And even this slight influence was enough to affect the Neutron Warstar.
It should be noted that the neutron battle star was not equipped with equipment such as sub-light speed engines or superluminal speed engines. Whether it was sub-light speed flight or hyperspace travel, they all relied on the control of their own supergravity domain to achieve this.
And this control was very precise. If there was even the slightest deviation, it would fail!
Therefore, while the system Li Lizi had developed could not cause any damage to the Neutron Warstar, it was enough to affect it in other ways. For a certain period of time, it would not be able to fly at sub-light speed or open a hyperspace window!
After all, what Li Lizi wanted to do next was to immobilize the Neutron Warstar!
At the same time, in Star System Saka.
"Admiral Blue River, the situation in Saka is a little strange!"
"It's too different from Commander Bai Lang's intelligence. There are no space factories, no warship lines, and no life planets!"
"Moreover, there are a large number of warship fragments here. Apart from a portion that was once the Crimson Federation's warship wreckage, the rest are all warship wreckage from the Purple Cloud Empire. There is no third party!"
"And …"
At this point, the aide-de-camp suddenly stopped. His expression was very unpleasant.
"And what? Hurry up and say it!"
"And according to our calculations, there are at least 10 billion or even 20 billion imperial warship wreckage here!"
No wonder the aide-de-camp's expression was so unpleasant.
It should be known that a hundred years ago, the Crimson Lion had led a fleet to destroy the Crimson Federation. In the process, the Purple Cloud Empire's warships had not been damaged. After all, a beginner level 4 civilization could not do anything to the spatial shield of a level 5 civilization.
This meant that there should only be Crimson Federation warship wreckage in Saka!
Then the question was, why would there be 10 billion or even 20 billion Purple Cloud Empire warship wreckage?
Could it be …
Thinking of this, Blue River's heart couldn't help but thump. He realized that the situation wasn't good!
A large number of imperial battleship wreckages had appeared out of nowhere, and Saka, who was completely different from the information they had received.
[Damn it, this is a trap. The 20 billion plus battleships led by Scarlet Lion are likely to be buried here!]
This mysterious civilization shouldn't have a way to deal with the neutron warstar, right?
Blue River didn't know why he would have such a ridiculous thought. This should be impossible!
However, as soon as this thought appeared, it quickly filled his mind and could not be dismissed!
"How long until we can travel through hyperspace?"
"We haven't reached the limit of Hyperspace yet. If the distance isn't too far, then we can do it now, Marshal Blue River!"
After all, the last hyperspace voyage had spanned almost 3,000 light-years. It was far from enough to trigger the Neutron Battle Star's restrictions on hyperspace.
Therefore, as the adjutant said, as long as the distance wasn't too far, there wouldn't be a problem.
"There are no more targets here. Retreat immediately. The target is Rolande 3,200 light-years away!"
"Yes, Marshal Blue River!"
Regardless of whether or not they could pose a threat to the Neutron Battle Star, one thing was certain.
Right now, Saka was a trap, and there were no more targets. Leaving first before making any plans was always the right thing to do.
At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm rang out in the Neutron Battle Star's command room!
"What's going on?"
"Marshal Blue River, hyperspace window opening failed. Retrying … still failed. Reason unknown!"
This was a bit awkward.
The Purple Cloud Empire had obtained the Neutron Battle Star, as well as a supporting outpost, and figured out how to use it.
However, knowing how to use it didn't mean that they understood the technology behind it, nor did it mean that they knew how to solve the problem.
For a moment, everyone in the command room was dumbfounded!
This was the first time in thousands of years that the Neutron Battle Star had a problem, and they had no idea how to deal with it.
However, Blue River had a bad feeling. For the Neutron Battle Star, which hadn't had any problems in thousands of years, to malfunction in this place and at this time was too much of a coincidence!
"In short, have the Neutron Battle Star move first. Adjust the gravitational field and move at sub-light speed. Leave Saka first!"
"Yes, Marshal Blue River!"
However, this was still a futile attempt.
"Marshal, the Neutron Battle Star is still issuing an alarm. It can't move at sub-light speed!"
"Dammit, there must be a problem. So many coincidences can't happen at the same time, and in the current Saka no less!"
Blue River's expression abruptly changed.
He was certain that the Neutron Battle Star's inability to enter hyperspace or travel at sub-light speed wasn't a coincidence. This mysterious civilization must have done something!
However, Blue River still couldn't imagine how they were going to deal with the Neutron Battle Star. Was it purely to trap him here?
"Marshal Blue River, a large number of unknown spherical objects have appeared in Saka, and they're moving towards us. There must be tens of billions of them!"
As the radar officer reported, he opened up a virtual image. In the image was a sphere that Li Lizi had created using a neutron degenerate state material.
"What is this? Have you analyzed its structure yet? "
"Sir, we're unable to analyze its structure at all. We can't even estimate its density or mass. At the same time, these unknown spheres don't seem to have any propellers. They're all moving towards us, even though they're moving very slowly!"
"What in the world are these things?"
Blue River looked at the terrifying number of strange spheres that were getting closer and closer. His face was filled with confusion!
Meanwhile, in Li Lizi's laboratory in Wharton, there was a burst of cheers!
"Team Leader, our guess was correct. As long as they're close enough, the Neutron Battle Star and the sphere made from degenerate neutrons will attract each other!"
A female researcher said excitedly to Li Lizi.
"Alright, quiet down for a moment. It's not time to celebrate yet!"
"Everyone, hold your positions. Record all the data. Don't miss anything!"
"Understood!"
