“Sigh.”
Harrison Clark kept sighing.
Freddy’s fingers moved faster.
Harrison Clark believed that he might have understood his words.
But he couldn’t express himself, so he could only seize the last moments and try to accomplish more.
Harrison Clark no longer bothered him and let Scarlett release him to work.
The two of them were currently on the planet 001-7-01KX8839, the most ancient and vast garbage star created by No.1 Science City in the Seventh Star Region. It was the largest planet in the entire asteroid belt, with a diameter of 43,000 kilometers.
They had only been here for half a day, and there was still much to discover.
Watching Freddy enter the hatch, Harrison Clark turned and returned to the command room.
His mood was a bit down, and he didn’t go out scavenging.
Anyway, after reaching this stage, the technical knowledge he had previously could not keep up with Freddy’s genius pace. He couldn’t help much, so Scarlett sent thirty of the most advanced intelligent robots to assist him. They performed better than he himself.
By the way, these thirty new Punk Intelligent Robots had also been modified by Freddy. Their engineering machinery capabilities were even stronger than Harrison Clark’s own.
Harrison Clark curled up in the command room’s leather chair, and the projection in front of him was divided into two.
On the left was the high-angle view of Freddy driving the armored vehicle slowly advancing. On the right was a projection of the smoky and war-torn Morrowind Empire.
The quantum information network map that the Compound-Eyed Observer once formed had changed dramatically by now.
Before the outbreak of the war, Scarlett divided the star systems on the star map into three categories.
Pure white dots represented uninhabited star systems.
Over a hundred thousand star systems with Dyson membranes were marked as blue dots.
Green dots represented star systems with a sufficient human population.
Green lines represented the quantum network information flow.
After the outbreak of the war, Scarlett added two more markings.
Red dots represented ongoing wars in the star system.
Orange-yellow dots represented star systems where the war had ended, and humans had lost and were cleared out.
Harrison Clark was about to lose, and had already lost, more than just Freddy’s life.
He had also lost many star systems.
As expected, the Edge Ship Fleet implemented the plan to divide their forces upon reaching the Proxima Centauri System.
The dome of Proxima Centauri was briefly opened, and a hundred Angular Warships were left behind.
The remaining ships were divided into nearly ten thousand units and attacked other nearby star systems in a hundred different directions.
The front line would expand from the human core star region and continue to push outward.
The Compound-Eyed Observer’s actions basically had no tactics or strategy. It was simply a pure division of troops, relying on technological superiority to crush the opposition.
As for the Spherical Battleships that Harrison Clark personally cared about, they did not appear at all in the central battlefield area.
Harrison Clark speculated that perhaps the Compound-Eyed Observer saw the immense power of humanity and decided that the Spherical Battleships, as large “patrol yachts,” were not as effective as Angular Warships in warfare, so they did not participate in the battle. They might not have come, or they might be patrolling outside the Orion Arm to hunt down some escaping Fire Dragon Giants.
The war in the Proxima Centauri System ended quickly.
Harrison Clark truly saw the power of Angular Warships, the core war tool of the Compound-Eyed Observer.
While the level of technological civilization in this Proxima Centauri System was not as high as in the main timeline, it was still considerably stronger than humanity in the 31st century of the previous timeline.
The population scale in the Proxima Centauri System had also reached a sizeable figure of nearly 40 billion, almost entirely mobilized for the conflict.
However, the red point representing the Proxima Centauri System only lasted for three days before turning into the orange-yellow color representing extinction.
Within three days, nearly 40 billion Proxima Centauri inhabitants fell under the fire of a mere hundred Angular Warships.
During this three-day war, the people of Proxima Centauri exhausted their wisdom and tried countless tactics.
Battleships, heavy artillery, intensive bomb ambushes, planetary collisions, and even detonating stars.
None of it worked, as none of it was useful.
Either they couldn’t hit their targets, or they had no effect even if they did.
Harrison Clark suddenly realized that the reason why the Compound-Eyed Observer had previously ordered a million Angular Warships to deploy a netted link to blockade humanity, continuously advancing and using white plasma to destroy everything, was probably because it was meaningful to do at least some work since they were already there.
The reason why he could control the Summit Colossus to break the Angular Warships’ shield and cut their Main Body might have been merely because the Compound-Eyed Observer was interested in him and wanted to capture him alive.
The war in the Proxima Centauri System was fierce, but the real battlefield was not there, but in other star regions.
Humans were watching the “small-scale” war in Proxima Centauri and preparing to face the Angular Warships, which were coming in units of ten thousand.
Decades ago, the military leaders of the Morrowind Empire had formulated complete combat strategies.
Each different combat strategy could respond to the different actions that the Compound-Eyed Observer might take.
Here was where the Stargate’s purpose lay.
Humans first set up seventy-two large-scale star zones, each equipped with a sizable and diverse main fleet, on standby near the Stargates.
Whether they intended to form a large army for a head-on battle, use classic guerrilla tactics, or adopt other strategies, the Morrowind Empire could quickly integrate and deploy its military strength using Stargates.
