Brother, just how powerful is our family?

P.S.: My darlings, I've been quite busy these past few days, so the update times have been a bit off. I'll update regularly every day from now on. Sorry about that, my darlings! Happy New Year, and may you all earn 80 million this year! Reply to follow!

The moment the warp drive started, there was no vibration, no noise, and not even any warning.

Inside the captain's cabin of the Conqueror 001, a duty commander of the bridge command group, dressed in a dark blue command uniform, was staring at the holographic star map in front of him.

The next second, the solar system in the star chart suddenly shrank, becoming a tiny point of light the size of a palm.

Ten times the speed of light.

The Conqueror-class interstellar warship slid into the depths of the warp bubble in a way imperceptible to humans.

The duty commander of the bridge command group looked up and gazed at the "starry sky" outside through the observation window of the bridge dome.

That can no longer be called the starry sky.

In warp drive mode, the light from the outside world is distorted to an extreme degree, and all the stars are stretched into infinitely long filaments of light, as if the entire universe is flowing backward with the spaceship as the center.

It was a magnificent sight, almost eerie. If you looked at it for too long, it would give you the illusion that it wasn't the spaceship moving forward, but the entire universe moving backward.

But he only looked at it for three seconds before lowering his head.

Three seconds is the upper limit stipulated in the military regulations of the Yanhuang civilization.

Because at warp speeds, the human visual system is deceived by distorted light, resulting in spatial disorientation.

A soldier once stared at the warp drive window for ten seconds, and as a result, he was unable to walk normally for the entire next day, his brain still thinking that he was falling backward at ten times the speed of light.

"All units report on their status."

The duty commander's voice was simultaneously transmitted to every corner of the twenty-four Conqueror-class warships via the quantum communication system.

There was no delay.

Quantum communication ignores distance, space, and the obstruction of warp bubbles.

"Bridge command team, all personnel in position, status normal."

"Power unit, all personnel in position, warp drive stable, vacuum zero-point energy output normal."

"Weapons team, all personnel in position, all weapon systems ready."

"Space Fighter Wing, all personnel in position. Starfighter completes first warp adaptability check."

"Mech Squadron, all personnel in position, Xingtian Mech locked on successfully."

"Logistics team, all personnel in position, supplies are sufficient."

"Medical team, all personnel in position, no one has experienced warp-induced discomfort."

"Information Reconnaissance Team—"

The report paused for half a second at this point.

Then, a slightly excited voice rang out:

"Gravitational sensing detection system, first-time startup successful! Currently mapping the gravitational field distribution within a ten-light-minute radius!"

The duty commander of the bridge command group smiled slightly.

Ten light fractions.

That is, the distance that light travels in ten minutes.

However, for reconnaissance, a range of ten light-minutes means they can detect any potential threats in advance.

As training progresses, this scope will continue to expand.

"Let's begin."

He said.

There are only three words.

But the entire information investigation team understood.

The real training is just beginning.

Conqueror 001, Information Reconnaissance Pod.

This is the quietest corner on the entire warship.

It's not because there's no sound, but because the people who work here don't like to talk.

Three hundred and twenty-seven information investigators sat quietly at their respective workstations.

In front of them were 327 holographic screens.

On each screen flowed streams of data that ordinary people couldn't understand at all: gravitational wave waveforms, electromagnetic spectrum scan results, neutrino flux density, space curvature change index...

But they can understand it.

Not only can it understand the data, but it can also process three to five different data streams simultaneously.

This is the result of gene optimization.

Just a few months ago, they were just ordinary scouts, surveyors, and astronomy enthusiasts.

Now, their information processing capabilities have surpassed those of the most advanced supercomputers of the old era.

"Gravity sensing system preheating complete."

A young voice rang out.

That was the duty leader of the gravity sensing group, a young man who had dreamed of becoming an astronomer before enlisting in the army.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the holographic screen in front of him, where a three-dimensional image composed of countless lines was gradually taking shape.

That is a map showing the gravitational field distribution within a radius of ten light-minute intervals.

"Begin calibrating the reference frame."

Another voice rang out. It was the representative of the navigation team, a taciturn middle-aged man.

With a light swipe of his hand on the holographic keyboard, a three-dimensional coordinate system was superimposed onto the gravitational field diagram.

"Using the solar system as the origin and the ecliptic plane as the reference plane."

"The X-axis points towards the center of the Milky Way."

"The Y-axis is the direction perpendicular to the X-axis within the ecliptic plane."

"The Z-axis is perpendicular to the ecliptic plane and points towards the North Galactic Pole."

"Coordinate system established."

"Start synchronization."

The next second, the data from the gravity sensing system began to be compared with the star map database of the ship's main computer.

The Sun. Mars. Jupiter. Saturn. The Kuiper Belt. The Oort Cloud.

All known celestial bodies have corresponding locations on the gravitational field map.

But the information investigators are not interested in these known things.

They are concerned with things that shouldn't exist.

"Excluding the gravitational influence of all known celestial bodies within the solar system."

"Calculating the residuals."

"Residual convergence in progress—"

On the holographic screen, the gravitational field diagram began to change.

The gravitational fields of known celestial bodies were stripped away one by one by mathematical algorithms, leaving only the pure "anomalies".

That is the deadliest threat in future wars.

An enemy reconnaissance ship hidden in the asteroid belt.

An orbital gun emplacement disguised as a natural celestial body.

An ambush fleet that uses gravity shielding technology to lurk in the shadows.

Any abnormal gravitational fluctuation could be the prelude to death.

"Residual convergence complete."

On the holographic screen, the originally dense lines of gravitational field have now been reduced to just a few.

Those few all point in the same direction.

Serandia.

That star, sixty light-years away.

"Record: The gravity sensing system was tested for the first time and is operating normally. No abnormal gravitational sources were detected within a 10-light-minute radius."

The duty leader of the gravity sensing group typed this line into the log.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the distant starry sky.

Sixty light-years away.

What are those little greys doing now?

Are you looking at star charts too?

Are you looking for them too?

he does not know.

But what he did know was that six years later, when the Conqueror Fleet arrived there, the first dynamic star map drawn by the gravity sensing system would determine the life and death of 3.5 million Star Warriors.

Therefore, there can be no mistakes.

Not even the slightest bit.
