Galaxy Domination Guide

Chapter 278: 271 Two mutual relations



The entire Lvzhao star seemed to have lost its voice at that moment; some Lvzhao people, who had just been in a passionate uproar, now covered their mouths in disbelief as they looked upon what was once the Sixth Defense Fleet—a section now scattered as wreckage across the universe.

From the moment they were born, Lvzhao people were taught that the Lvzhao Civilization was a prestigious and outstanding interstellar civilization in the Galaxy, having established a brilliant culture and a superior system; they should all feel noble and proud by birth.

After being humiliated by a bunch of bumpkins from the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, every Lvzhao person believed that their invincible fleet would teach those Earth bumpkins a lesson. They expected Earth's bumpkins to be beaten black and blue by the mighty and powerful Lvzhao fleet, crying and begging for surrender, ultimately becoming slaves of the Lvzhao people, living to extol the greatness of the Lvzhao Civilization.

However, the script didn't play out that way.

Fragile Lvzhao people were beginning to sob quietly, while many others seemed to have their entire worldview collapse—they could not believe what they were seeing; their hitherto unbeaten (yet never-battled) Lvzhao fleet seemed to have been obliterated without even scratching the enemy.

The universally scorned bumpkins, it seemed, had just emerged from the Danlu Interstellar Cloud. The people from Earth, like sneezing, had annihilated their invincible fleet.

The confusion and fear of the Lvzhao people, like the finest ukiyo-e, were laid bare before Bai Zhongqi's eyes. At that moment, Bai Zhongqi had no more mockery in him, even feeling a bit of pity for the Lvzhao people. A universe civilization wishing to develop amidst the dangers and chaos of the Galaxy must have a basic sense of awe. It had taken the Lvzhao Civilization more than twenty thousand years to reach a Level 14 civilization; they had warp capability, but they had not ventured to other star regions to explore new territories, only living in their barren star region, dreaming their dreams of being the unchallenged kings.

But, alas, all dreams must come to an end.

Bai Zhongqi said with a hint of regret, "YNM-2333 proves to be quite useful, just a pity it's not much use against Teizene people."

Zero said, "Such a level of weapon might pose an even greater danger in our own hands."

YNM-2333 was just a pet name given by Bai Zhongqi; the actual name of the weapon was "Universal Super Fusion Bomb," and its code was YNM-2333, hence Bai Zhongqi's nickname for it.

The Super Fusion Bomb could be considered an unconventional weapon; its power was enormous. This weapon itself integrated multiple technologies, utilizing principles like thermonuclear reaction, plasma effect, and antimatter annihilation reaction. After establishing a tight and effective triggering mechanism, it became this terrifying weapon of mass destruction.

So fearsome is this weapon that, if dropped on a planet, it could carve out a crater dozens of kilometers deep and hundreds of kilometers in diameter on the planet's surface. If it struck a comet, it could even vaporize the comet. The immense energy it released could destroy nearly everything within a broad area.

From the perspective of destructiveness, YNM-2333 was hardly inferior to the black hole weapons developed but not well controlled by Iridium Star.

Although the nature of the weapon was relatively stable, it was simply too massive, the size of a space rocket. Despite its ultra-strong propulsion engine that allowed it to reach a quarter of the speed of light and even perform some complex trajectory changes and interfere with interception weapons, for most stronger interstellar civilizations, the moment such a huge weapon was deployed, its formidable power was apparent, prompting immediate evasion maneuvers.

Moreover, dense interception firepower could destroy this weapon before it made contact with the enemy's warships. A few hundred kilometers of killing range might seem vast, but in the universe, this distance was inconsequential.

Of course, there was also a very critical issue: energy shields were quite resistant to weapons that relied solely on bursts of energy. Perhaps small warships wouldn't have enough resistance, but large main battle ships could withstand the damage from such weapons for a short time. With killing power lasting only a few seconds, once it passed, there wouldn't be any threat.

So, after the Iridium Star people acquired the Super Fusion Fusion Bomb, they mostly treated it as a device for executing planets.

A planet the size of the Moon could essentially be cleansed by tossing a few dozen Super Fusion Fusion Bombs on it, digesting it completely.

Bai Zhongqi smiled and said, "It's not entirely useless. As long as you take down the Teizene warships' shields and then throw one of these up there, you can clear out a number of enemies."

Ling shook her head and replied, "If the main battle ships carry one or two of these weapons, then should our shields be breached and the enemy hit this missile, it would directly destroy our main battle ship as well. Of course, the enemies nearby would be buried with us. In that sense, it does seem like a very fitting weapon for mutual destruction."

"I don't need a weapon designed for mutual destruction, so if we were really on the battlefield, I would have a fixed launch platform fire these missiles, rather than having the main battle ships like the Sacred Falcon or the Bojiang do it."

Ling then asked, "So, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with this group of Lvzhao people?"

Bai Zhongqi's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied, "Now that enmity has been established, there's no need for false courtesies. We are almost certain that when the Teizene Fleet arrives here, they will choose to settle in the Frost River Galaxy, using the Lvzhao Civilization's productivity to supply them with new resources. If that's the case, the more prosperous the Lvzhao Civilization is now, the more disadvantageous it is for us in our upcoming war to resist Teizene."

Ling said, "In that case, do you plan to completely eradicate the Lvzhao Civilization, leaving nothing behind? This doesn't seem like your style. I thought you were always compassionate and valued life, no matter what."

Bai Zhongqi, sitting on the sofa with his hand supporting his cheek, responded, "Unfortunately, the greatest interaction between lives is to seize and destroy. For a life to continue, it must plunder the energy of another life, consume it, or eliminate it. Similar relations exist between universe civilizations. I cannot hope to protect the continuity of Earth's civilization while also wishing for other civilizations to live happily. In the Galaxy, there are definitely relationships of coexistence and mutually beneficial synergy, but there are also relationships of mutual harm and plundering. Therefore, any civilization's helmsman must know when to accept a mutually beneficial relationship and when to resolutely kill and plunder others."

Ling joked, "It looks like your recent courses in Universe Sociology weren't wasted."
