Lets go, lets go!

As soon as he left the command room, Miro hurriedly wanted to board the shuttle.

Seth quickly stopped him. Miro, we need to prepare

Prepare for what?

Naturally, we need to prepare the data well need for the exchange

Miro smirked, arrogantly saying, I dont need to prepare, all the knowledge is in my head

Indeed, young master Miro, youre a genius

Seth obviously had dealt with Miro quite often and knew his nature. He flattered him a bit and then said, But, this mission has a third-cla.s.s merit attached to it. If we prepare thoroughly and probe their secrets, we might be able to secure victory. Then, both of us will surely make history

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Miros face, but he still acted aloof, I dont need to prepare, but your knowledge is lacking. You should go prepare!

Alright

Seth didnt argue and quickly headed to the information center to search for various types of data for backup.

Youre taking the theory of particle black holes? You have everything here? Miro looked incredulous, his face filled with disdain.

Seth just smiled, admitting he didnt know much, and continued organizing the data.

He wasnt afraid of Miro stealing the credit. Everyone knew Mi Luos capability, including Moro.

The data Seth prepared fell into two categories. One was theoretical and practical information about current advanced technology.

The other was scientific conjecture; unapplied in reality but potentially achievable in the future.

In addition to probing the enemys capabilities, he also needed to find ways to conceal their own.

They spent a full hour in the information center and, after copying a ma.s.sive amount of data, they finally boarded the shuttle and departed.

Moon Base.

They want to meet us on Ganymede?!

Zhao Yu was shocked. He didnt expect the other side to make such a request.

Yes, its precisely midway, 3.5 billion kilometers from both of us

Uncle Da asked, Commander, should we reject it?

Zhao Yu didnt respond immediately, meticulously considering how to react.

Every choice he made now was linked to whether the two sides would go to war.

They want to meet, and the purpose is not to exchange, but definitely to probe our strength

If we refuse, they will surely find other ways to probe us, even potentially resorting to direct fire

As Zhao Yu thought, it was better to delay any conflict through diplomatic means as every moment gained was advantageous for them.

If we agree, how will they try to probe us?

Uncle Da thought for a moment, then said, After the meeting, both sides will likely display their wars.h.i.+ps and weapon systems

That wont work

Zhao Yu stroked his chin, then said, We must mix truth and falsehood to keep them guessing

Our first two probes may have given them the impression we are also a Level 2 civilization, but on the surface, we can still pretend not to be a Level 2 civilization

After a moment of deliberation, Zhao Yu spoke up, How long would it take our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to reach t.i.tan if we travel at a speed of 135 Mach?

882 days came the response.

Zhao Yu nodded, smiling, Let them know that our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p can only move so fast, and it will take some time to get there. Lets see if they can wait that long. Meeting after more than two years, the other party would certainly not agree. He was curious to see how they would react.

Considering the current distance between the two parties, a round-trip message would take 13 hours.

Zhao Yu took the opportunity to visit the base control room. He spent a thousand tech points and unlocked the production line for the flags.h.i.+p.

Back in the command center, he asked, Uncle Da, how much resources have we acc.u.mulated so far?

We have about 30 billion Blue Moon credits worth of resources on the Moon

On Earth, we have 140 billion Blue Moon credits worth of resources. Because our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p speed was reduced to 10 Mach, it has been inconvenient to retrieve them

Now, lets get them back, moving at a speed of 135 Mach

Alright, Ill arrange it now

Good, get on it, Zhao Yu nodded.

Then he continued, Youve got the data on their battles.h.i.+ps. How docs it look in the simulation?

Not good

Uncle Da shook his head. Ive been running simulated battles since we received the data on the Miro fleet. Ive run billions of simulations, and we havent won once

Did we learn anything? Zhao Yu asked.

Yes!

Uncle Da affirmed, Most of the weapons on our battles.h.i.+ps can hardly threaten them

The only things that can truly harm them, aside from our fixed laser defense system, arc the escort s.h.i.+ps with laser weapons and the destroyers equipped with railguns

Apart from that, the destroyers armed with railguns and coilguns can inflict some damage on their s.h.i.+ps if we have enough of them

Zhao Yu frowned, And the other battles.h.i.+ps equipped with large weapons are useless?

Pretty much!

Uncle Da shook his head. Those large weapons are good against stationary targets, but its much harder to hit their agile fleet

On the contrary, in the simulation, their large weapons often caused us huge casualties

In the simulation, how long can we hold out at most?

80 days!

How is that possible?

By ma.s.s producing bases for the laser defense system and deploying them to the twelve bases at the first defense line

Then, producing large numbers of escort s.h.i.+ps and destroyers for replacement

This conversation allowed Zhao Yu to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was worried they would be completely defenseless. Thankfully, they still had some defensive capabilities.

He nodded, Proceed as you did in this simulation. Use all our resources to produce bases, destroyers, and escort s.h.i.+ps

Once theyre ready, send them directly to those twelve military bases

Suddenly, an idea came to Zhao Yu, Can we modify our flags.h.i.+p to look like their flags.h.i.+p?

Modify?!

Uncle Da squinted, calculating for a moment before saying, We can modify it, but after modification, the propulsion system will be significantly reduced, many weapons systems cant be installed, and a lot of areas will be just empty sh.e.l.ls

Thats what we want empty sh.e.l.ls! Zhao Yu said, Create a flags.h.i.+p according to their model, at a 1:10 scale. Once its ready, keep it at the base and dont leave the moon. I have a plan for it

With gravitational wave detection, large celestial bodies can often hide small bodies attached to them. As long as it doesnt leave the moon, the other party wont detect it.

Zhao Yu handled a few more things, and the 13 hours pa.s.sed quickly. The Moro fleets message was again received by Blue Star Skydome.

After translating, Uncle Da reported, Commander, they have changed the meeting location!

Where to?

They suggest a location near the reconnaissance s.h.i.+p they sent earlier, about 55 million kilometers outside our first defense line. At our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps speed of 135 Mach, both parties could meet there on the 25th day.
