Chapter 451: Chapter 279: Black Gold Warship

“Apart from constructing advanced warships and upgrading the existing ones, I propose to install resonance weapon launchers and Purgatory Ray emission satellites in the outer space defense circles of Blue Star and Mars to further perfect our defense system.”

“In two years, perfect the defense system and upgrade the arsenal.” He Xingzhou concluded, “We must capture Venus and Mercury; more enemies are coming our way.”

“To repel external threats, we must first stabilize internally!”

On Blue Star and Mars, massive upgrades and renovations began, from factories to military facilities.

Resonance torpedoes also started improvement and mass production, installed on every warship.

Simultaneously, He Xingzhou started designing even more powerful weapons.

“The Black Gold Insect King is not the most powerful Insect King on Venus!” This was a hypothesis from the intelligence department, as the Zerg that fled back to Venus quickly stabilized, and reconnaissance ships attempting to approach for scouting were either destroyed or repelled.

In the silicon-based Zerg detectors they deployed, a stronger energy reaction seemed to be detected.

This indicated that there were more powerful Zerg on Venus.

“It can’t be the Planet Devourer, otherwise, it could directly destroy Blue Star now!” He Xingzhou concluded that the Insect King might be on the verge of evolving into a Planet Devourer!

To deal with such an enemy, resonance torpedoes might struggle to touch its body.

This is when long-range resonance weapons are needed.

He Xingzhou began designing an electromagnetic resonance emitter, utilizing electromagnetic waves to induce resonance, thus achieving longer attack distances and greater power!

Additionally, he planned to upgrade warship technology within two years to achieve the performance of L7 space battleships.

In terms of weapons, the Blue Star Alliance’s mastery of weapon technology was already sufficient to meet the performance of space battleships.

The only shortcoming was the propulsion system; the closer the speed is to the speed of light, the greater the energy required.

Therefore, the higher the warship speed, the harder it is to improve!

This is also why the Southern River Civilization, as a 1.8-level civilization, still has only L5-level conventional warships.

…

Outside the Southern River Three Star System, a fleet is heading towards the Solar System.

This fleet consists of at least L5 level warships, along with L6 and even more advanced warships.

In the Virtual Universe, Rafael did not reveal all of the Southern River Civilization’s cards.

At this moment, Rafael was in contact with Grey Wolf from the Sirius Civilization.

“Our Southern River Civilization fleet has already departed! It is estimated to take eighteen years to reach the Solar System!”

Grey Wolf replied through the Virtual Universe: “Our fleet will depart four years later; we’ll rendezvous on the outskirts of the Solar System.”

The Sky Wolf Star System is a bit closer to the Solar System, so they have more preparation time.

Rafael responded: “Do not miss the timing. The growth potential of the Blue Star Civilization is terrifying. Each year delayed sees their strength increase a bit!”

“Don’t worry!” Grey Wolf replied confidently, “With the L9 Star Destroyer ships given by the primary civilization, as long as the Blue Star Civilization doesn’t become a second-level civilization, what can they do?”

“By that time, we’ll acquire the most resources in the Solar System! The rewards for killing Zerg will also be ours!”

Grey Wolf’s confidence was not baseless; their Sirius Civilization, being a 1.9-level civilization, was very close to a second-level civilization.

Their main fleet had the level of L7 space battleships, and with the aid of the Pleiades Civilization, they were confident that they were the top civilization among first-level civilizations.

With this collaboration with the Southern River Civilization, attacking the Solar System, success was inevitable!

…

A year swiftly passed, and during that time, humans continued to scout Venus and Mercury, upgrade weapons, and modify equipment.

The space resonance torpedoes went into large-scale production, reinforcing defense facilities.

Biological battleships on Mars were also manufactured, and Noah Biological Warships were now able to partially replace conventional warships for space defense and reconnaissance.

Because they more closely resembled Zerg, they were harder to detect when flying on other planets.

He Xingzhou directly dispatched several currently cultivated Noah Biological Warships to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune for reconnaissance.

“Add power enhancement modules, upgrade based on the L5 level Kai Shan, equip with Purgatory Ray and electromagnetic resonator…” He Xingzhou was designing the L7 level space battleship.

He skipped directly over the L6 level warship.

…

The Sea Beast Civilization’s Second Elder was issuing orders to Rugen.

He said: “Rugen, this time I brought Star Destroyer ships and Satellite Fortress technology from the primary civilization. You must quickly manufacture these technologies to surpass other affiliated civilizations, especially the Blue Star Civilization!”

“This not only concerns you and me but also the future of the Sea Beast Civilization, understand?”

Rugen was thrilled and said: “I will give my all!”

In the past, affiliated civilizations couldn’t even apply for these technologies, but now the primary civilization was willing to develop Star Destroyer and Satellite Fortress technology for them, allowing the Sea Beast Civilization to directly reach the pinnacle of a first-level civilization!

Star Destroyer ships were undoubtedly top-tier weapons of a first-level civilization!

And the Satellite Fortress was an even stronger top-tier weapon than the Star Destroyer ships!

Its construction involves hollowing out a natural satellite and turning it into a space weapon!

Similar to the Zerg’s Space Insect Nest, its weaponry surpasses that of regular Star Destroyers!

“If you can accomplish this, you might be able to fight for even more advanced technology!” Bai Sha hinted meaningfully.

Rugen was even more delighted, understanding that the Second Elder meant that if they could reach this level, the primary civilization might even help them become a second-level civilization!

Similarly, the Fishman Civilization’s Third Elder Blue Shark also brought resources to Fesi.

He said: “This time, the one hundred million tons of materials sent to your Star System were all secured by me for you.”

“Plus, with the space city technology given to you, fight to expand military strength and enhance prosperity within the interstellar construction conference, so I can secure more resources.”

“Thank you, Elder, we of the Fishman Civilization will surely become the strongest affiliated civilization, surpassing them, surpassing Blue Star Civilization!” Fesi immediately pledged loyalty.

Like Rugen, he also viewed the Blue Star Civilization as their strongest competitor.

The Conch Civilization’s Fourth Elder Blue Dragon secured for Zhuoyin the technology he’s been yearning for—resonance weapon technology.

“You’ve seen He Xingzhou’s resonance weapons; they’re much stronger than your ultrasound and infrasound resonance weapons.”

“If further developed, it’s sufficient to become a first-level civilization’s superweapon!” Blue Dragon said, “This time, I obtained the first-level civilization resonance weapon technology for you, use it well.”

“Our Conch Civilization will definitely be stronger than the Blue Star Civilization!” Zhuoyin vowed.

The Sea Demon Civilization’s Red Scale instructed Sairen: “This time, although I secured many resources for you, they’re somewhat less than other Elders.”

“The development potential of the Blue Star Civilization is indeed vast, try not to offend them, there might be cooperation opportunities in the future.”

“Understood.” Sairen nodded.

…

A year passed quickly, and He Xingzhou completed the design of the L7 level space battleship. The Blue Star Xuanwu Base began production.

The L7 level space battleship he designed was named Black Gold, with a clear intention to commemorate the warriors who died in the previous defense war and to show their determination to attack Venus.

Black Gold was not built individually, but as a batch.

To build these warships, even the construction of the Super Star Ring was temporarily halted, concentrating resources on the new warship’s creation.

Warships below L4 level were either retired for civilian use or dismantled for material and equipment reuse.

The construction process took a whole year, and the first batch of L7 level space battleships was finally completed.

He Xingzhou immediately convened a Blue Star Alliance meeting and said: “It’s time to attack Venus and Mercury and completely conquer them!”

“If we wait any longer, the Insect King on Venus will evolve into a Planet Devourer!”

“Finally, the day has come!” He Hongwei said, “The last battle on Mars was unsatisfactory; this time I’ll fight to their main base!”

“Exactly!” Luo An, Qiu Hong, Lei Yuanfeng, and others were also brimming with determination. The previous defensive battles, though victorious, came at a heavy price.

Over the years, there have been discussions in society about whether the Blue Star Alliance could defeat the Zerg on Venus and Mercury.

The general opinion was that when the Zerg used space resonance torpedoes, attacking them would be even more difficult.

The fleets with upgraded equipment also wanted to prove themselves.

“Quickly organize the fleet, prepare to attack!” He Xingzhou aimed to capture Venus and Mercury before the Maoshi Star Union’s fleet arrived, using their resources to build the Super Star Ring.
