Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Chen Yu already knew the content of the quantum signal sent back by the Level 2 civilization before.

It is now confirmed that the Level 2 civilization will send a colonial fleet to Earth.

However, Chen Yu thought of a problem: since his No. 1 mothership's warp engine was broken.

Could he wait for the Level 2 civilization's colonial fleet to arrive, capture them, and then remove the warp engines from their battleships?

"Brain, I have a question for you. Do you think we can get their warp engines from the Level 2 civilization's colonial fleet?"

[Captain, your idea is great. I thought of it too. If we can capture their mothership this time, I can remove its warp engine and temporarily install it on the No. 1 mothership to achieve faster-than-light travel.]

The frigates and landing ships on Chen Yu's mothership cannot travel at the speed of light.

[That way, we can have about 300 times the speed of light and go near the nearest black hole to Earth to find materials to repair the Level 7 civilization's warp engine.]

"The raw materials for repairing the warp engine are near the black hole?"

[Yes, let me tell you about the working principle of the warp engine first. To achieve faster-than-light travel, you need to tear space apart, which is equivalent to integrating the spaceship into another dimension.]

[The warp engine uses the curvature of space to create a warp bubble around the spaceship by using antimatter propulsion. This warp bubble causes the space in front of the spaceship to be compressed, while the space behind is stretched. The spaceship itself is in this relatively static warp bubble. Through the continuous contraction and stretching of space, the spaceship achieves faster-than-light flight.]

[And the fuel of the warp engine is a kind of negative energy exotic matter, which is a kind of dark matter, a substance with negative mass and internal energy. It only exists near the Roche limit of black holes, because only celestial bodies with extremely strong gravity like black holes can distort spacetime and produce this dark matter.]

[As long as we have this key raw material, repairing the Level 7 civilization's warp engine will be basically half done!]

Chen Yu still knew about black holes, the most terrifying existence in the universe.

If you find a black hole in the vast universe, that's not a good thing.

Moreover, the so-called exotic antimatter raw material is still near the Roche limit of the black hole.

If you are not careful and fall into the black hole, it will be a catastrophe, an unimaginable horror!

"Brain, will it be very dangerous to collect this raw material around the black hole? If we fall within the Roche limit of the black hole, I'm afraid I will become the first Earthling to see the inside of a black hole!"

[There is indeed some danger, but if we are fully prepared and choose a smaller, less violent black hole, we should be able to collect the raw materials smoothly.]

Chen Yu was speechless, there really was danger!

"Okay, we'll talk about it later anyway. The nearest black hole to Earth is said to be thousands of light-years away."

[Captain, your Earth data is wrong. According to the No. 1 mothership's radio receiver and gravitational wave detector, I have already detected high-energy radiation emitted by a black hole nearest to Earth. It is only about 200 light-years away from us.]

Chen Yu was shocked!

"Brain, I have read books, don't lie to me. After so many years of observation by our Earth scientists, the conclusion is that the nearest black hole to us is not Gaia BH1, which is 1500 light-years away? How can you suddenly say that there is a black hole so close to us at 200 light-years?"

[Your Earth's observation technology is nowhere near as good as the gravitational wave detector on the No. 1 mothership! However, this black hole, which is 200 light-years away, is only a small black hole with 120 times the mass of the sun, but as long as it is a black hole, it has the exotic antimatter raw material we need.]

Chen Yu curled his lips, that's true, even if it's small, it's still a black hole!

However, this directly overturned the current research on black holes by Earth scientists.

It turns out that there is a black hole so close to us. Chen Yu felt a little scared just thinking about it.

"Okay, we have 10 months. Now that we have supplies from the United States, we will try to complete the construction of the first Homeworld-class spaceship as soon as possible. We also need to build a fleet of attack ships, all equipped with high-energy quantum laser cannons. When those Level 2 civilization fleets arrive, I will catch them off guard!"

[Okay, Captain, as long as you have enough raw materials, these are not problems!]

Chen Yu's current Homeworld-class spaceship is already one-third constructed, and now he has sufficient raw materials.

Chen Yu believed that if he was given another 2 months, all the parts of the first Homeworld-class spaceship would be manufactured.

At the same time, the space elevator is also being built simultaneously.

In at most 3 months, the parts of the first Homeworld-class spaceship can be transported to near-Earth orbit through the space elevator to complete assembly.

In the next 7 months, Chen Yu can use the powerful loading capacity of the Homeworld-class spaceship.

To mine more raw materials between the planets in the solar system and build a powerful attack fleet to guard the Earth.

...

At this moment, 270 light-years away, at the spaceport of Mesoras.

A Level 2 civilization Homeworld-class colonial ship is undergoing final supply replenishment.

In the spaceship's command room, stood a man wearing a golden swallow-tailed coat, his face similar to that of Earthlings.

However, his ears were pointed, similar to the elves in Earthlings' anime.

He was standing in front of the glass in the command room, gazing at the vast and boundless starry sky.

The position he was looking at was the direction of the Earth's star field.

"A life planet worth 20 billion Galaxy Credits, with only a Level 0.68 civilization level, it seems that this mission will be very simple!"

The swallow-tailed coat man muttered to himself.

At this moment, a uniformed soldier walked into the command room and respectfully stepped forward:

"Captain Sohe, our colonial mothership's supplies have been completed. This time, we have a total of 50 Star Destroyers, 20 Landing Ships, and 10 Exploration Ships, a total of 1,500 warriors. The spaceship's energy has been replenished, the required materials are ready, and we are ready to depart at any time!"

"Okay, send the final departure notice to the space tower. We will depart immediately!"

"Yes, Captain Sohe!"

Subsequently, a huge Homeworld-class colonial mothership slowly crept towards the dark interstellar space.

"Activate the warp engine, enter the dimensional space, and travel at faster-than-light speed!"

With Sohe's order, this Homeworld-class colonial mothership, which was about ten kilometers long and equivalent to a city.

A ripple spread around, and then quickly disappeared into space, flying towards Earth at nearly 300 times the speed of light.
