If I had to use one word to describe Renault now, it would be numbness, with no desire to change his current situation.

He didn't know how much effort he put into building these wormhole space nodes.

I just want to show off my ambitions and win the galaxy for the empire.

Let his status rise in the Andromeda Galaxy, overpowering the other four Imperial Legion Commanders.

But who would have thought that there would be such a big gap between dreams and reality.

First, he tried his best to lure the migratory Void Zerg army to the Milky Way, but it was wiped out in the solar system. Then he raided the Red Rock Galaxy and was forced to break up the army into pieces. Even he became a prisoner of the Milky Way civilization.

It was a complete loss of face and humiliation.

Now I see these wormhole space nodes that I created with my own hands being easily destroyed. Although I am very unwilling to do so, I have no choice but to do anything about it.

Only by choosing to numb yourself can you feel better.

So when faced with Xu Lei's inquiry, he did not answer according to the question, but deliberately changed the topic.

"Although your solar system civilization has risen rapidly in just a few decades and become the strongest civilization in the galaxy, this flagship definitely does not belong to the technical level of a third-level civilization."

"I want to know where you got this flagship?" After Renault asked his own question, he stared at Xu Lei, eager to know the answer.

He accepted his fate, but he still refused to accept his failure.

After all, without this flagship, even if he encounters the Galaxy Alliance, with the overall strength of his First Legion fleet, he may not be able to gain a certain advantage.

What's more, if we defeat the Milky Way Allied Forces, we can weaken the core power of the Milky Way civilization.

This will be of great help to the Empire in occupying the galaxy.

Therefore, even if the Legion fleet is damaged, they will definitely fight to the end with the Galaxy Alliance.

However, all these opportunities were wiped out because of the appearance of Xu Lei and the mysterious flagship, and he even became a prisoner.

Especially when he thought about what he would face after returning to the Clay Empire, he wanted to find out the origin of this mysterious flagship.

At least even if you die, you must die clearly.

To be honest, the development of civilization in the solar system really shocked him. Looking at almost the entire universe, it is difficult to find a high-level intelligent civilization that has advanced its technology so quickly.

It literally grew from a weak civilization into the strongest civilization in the galaxy in just a few decades.

But despite this, he still did not believe that the mysterious flagship that defeated the Imperial Legion fleet actually came from human civilization in the solar system.

In his opinion, the civilization of the solar system should not be able to achieve this kind of technical means.

After all, space-related technologies are very difficult to conquer. As the most promising civilization to reach Level 4, the Clay Empire can only rely on various resources to build short-distance wormhole space nodes.

Rely on connecting nodes in series to travel to the galaxy.

However, Xu Lei can rely on the battleship to directly make a space jump to the Hongyan Galaxy. The two sides are not on the same level at all.

There is only one possibility for this situation.

That is, the solar system civilization may have received help from the fourth-level civilization.

If this is really the case, and the Milky Way has the assistance of a fourth-level advanced civilization, then let alone the Clay Empire trying to take advantage of the Milky Way, it may not even be able to protect the Andromeda Galaxy itself.

The gap between civilization levels can be said to be worlds apart.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not too simple for a fourth-level civilization to conquer a river system where the highest level only has a third-level civilization.

In this way, after he returns to the Clay Empire, he must explain the situation to the Star Master and other legion commanders.

Let the empire give up the idea of ​​conquering the galaxy.

If possible, we should also take the initiative to make good friends with the Milky Way and strive for harmonious coexistence and mutual help and development between the two galaxies.

Otherwise, it will be a disaster to welcome the Clay Empire.

And this can also be used as a bargaining chip for him to ensure that as a prisoner, he can still live peacefully in the Clay Empire.

That's why he wanted to learn the origin of this mysterious flagship from Xu Lei.

Xu Lei looked at Renault with a half-smile as he finished speaking, then fell into silence and did not answer the other party's questions.

He knew very well what Renault was thinking, which was simply to find out the true strength of the civilization in the solar system in disguise.

But this is also an opportunity for him.

Although he is not easy to publicize matters about the Source Star to the outside world, if the Clay Empire can remain in awe of the civilization of the solar system, this negotiation may be smoother.

His purpose is very simple, that is to demand compensation from the Clay Empire and temporarily quell the war between the two neighboring river systems.

Buy enough time for the galaxy.

If the Clay Empire can be made to fear the Milky Way, I believe they will definitely not continue to send troops.

With his mind running rapidly, Xu Lei quickly organized the language in his mind, and then said: "What if I told you that this flagship is the crystallization of our highest wisdom as human beings?"

Although his tone was very calm, he exuded strong confidence, as if this Sky Blade 7 was really made by the solar system.

Xu Lei did not make up a fourth-level civilization, but gave all the honors to the civilization of the solar system.

He said this to tell the other party that humans have already touched the level of the fourth-level civilization and can create giant space jump battleships that only the fourth-level civilization has.

This kind of deterrence is much greater than the assistance of any level four civilization.

And the reason why he is so confident is because in fact, the fourth-level giant dreadnought is indeed not difficult for the solar system.

Just get enough influence.

Just go directly to the Science and Technology Museum to redeem it.

At that time, not only will you be able to directly obtain a giant dreadnought, but you will also be able to produce it yourself based on the relevant manufacturing technology knowledge you have obtained.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time that the solar system becomes a level four civilization, it just takes some time.

But I have to say that Xu Lei’s answer really gave Renault a big mental impact.

The whole person's mood suddenly became excited.

I cannot accept this fact.

"This is impossible!"

"It is a miracle in the universe that you humans can grow to a third-level civilization so quickly, but the gap between civilizations becomes wider the higher you go."

"Without time accumulation, how can we reach the threshold of level four civilization technology?"

"You must be lying to me, right?"

Renault stood up suddenly and shouted several times before he could release some of his suppressed emotions, but he still couldn't hide the look of doubt on his face.

Thinking about their Clay Empire, as a powerful civilization that controls the resources of the entire Andromeda Galaxy, it has been stuck at the level of third-level civilization for countless eras.

But so far it still cannot touch the threshold of level four civilization.

Many advanced theories are not even accessible to entry level, so how can they be applied to technical manufacturing.

Being able to take action against the Milky Way relies entirely on building wormhole space nodes that are not very technically proficient, and they have all been destroyed at the moment.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe that the solar system has touched the threshold of level four civilization and surpassed the Clay Empire in relevant technologies.

The main reason is that the flagship in Xu Lei's hands is too powerful.

In addition to being able to easily achieve space jumps, its attack and defense are incredible. I believe that even in the fourth-level civilization, it will be the last ace flagship.

In order to produce this kind of warship, it should be an old level four civilization at least, and the solar system obviously does not meet this requirement.

But whether he should say it or not, this situation completely aroused his curiosity.

If I don't understand it clearly, I just feel itchy all over.

However, Xu Lei then chose to remain silent. No matter what Renault said, he would not respond in any way.

Obviously let him think for himself.

Anyway, the relevant thoughts have been successfully implanted in the other party. When they return to the Clay Empire, no matter whether others believe it or not, they will be afraid of the Milky Way.

As for whether they want to take action against the Milky Way, it all depends on whether they dare to take the gamble.

You must know that with the strength that the Milky Way is showing now, you may not necessarily win if you win the bet, but once you lose the bet, it will change its offensive and defensive posture. From then on, the Andromeda Galaxy became an accessory of the Milky Way.

Xu Lei believes that the top management of the Clay Empire will make the right choice.

In this way, in the following time, Xu Lei launched a vast wormhole space node clearing plan, controlling Tianren No. 7 to destroy one node after another.

Completely abolish this channel connecting the two galaxies.

In other words, only Xu Lei can reach the Andromeda Galaxy in a short time, but the Andromeda Galaxy cannot go to the Milky Way.

Unless the node is rebuilt to open the channel.

If the Clay Empire really doesn't understand current affairs, then Xu Lei doesn't mind making a fuss in the Fairy Galaxy.

After all, he is completely invincible.

Soon nearly a month passed, and Renault's initial curiosity and questioning became more and more numb.

I spent most of my time in the flagship control center, wondering if I had completely resigned myself to my fate.

You must know that in these days, Xu Lei hardly spoke to the other party, and never mentioned the origin of the Tianren No. 7 flagship.
To be continued...
