After the Star spent three days sending the elf envoy back to the Alpha system and back again.
The First Fleet has explored hundreds of star systems.
According to reports from each squadron, records or legends about ghosts have been found in more than ten star systems with civilizations.
The most important thing is that during this process, two ruins suspected of being a third-order technological civilization were also discovered, and records of ghosts were also found in these ruins.
Based on the news sent back from the Academy of Sciences in the Alpha star system, Jiang Xingchen came to several preliminary conclusions.
First, Ghost is a level four civilization, which can basically be confirmed based on the light transmission technology they possess.
In fact, the Star Sea Federation also conducted research on light transmission technology and already had corresponding theories. However, before it could go any further, what happened that year happened.
Therefore, in terms of technology, this is still the technical category of the fourth-order technological civilization.
Of course, there are many judgments based on the records from the elves.
In short, the final conclusion is that Ghost is a fourth-level technological civilization. As for its comprehensive technological strength, it is hard to say.
The achievements of a small amount of science and technology cannot be regarded as comprehensive science and technology alone. The scientific and technological development of each civilization has its own emphasis.
Second, in order for Ghost to completely control its hunting grounds, all third-level civilizations will be directly slaughtered by it.
After all, the third-level civilization has the leap technology, so it can take advantage of the 10,000 years before the ghost arrives to escape far enough away.
At the same time, for the first and second level civilizations, the method used by the ghost is to plunder 90% of their population and destroy all their technological achievements, returning them to the primitive era.
According to Bilodis, after experiencing the first two ghost hunts, the elves created a huge space hundreds of meters underground in the Lixipe Forest and used a special kind of plant they cultivated.
In the soil of the Ulichpe forest.
This plant can block the exploration of ghosts and prevent them from discovering the underground space.
And through this underground space, the elves hid their biotechnology achievements and deceived the next four ghost hunts.
Therefore, on the surface, the elves seem to be a very primitive civilization.
But in their secret underground space, there is a lot of advanced biotechnology.
As for the achievements of these technologies, they have never used them, and even the elves' own people don't know about them.
Just to prevent the news from leaking.
After all, after every ghost hunting, more than 90% of the elves will be captured. If someone leaks the news, the plan that has been tens of thousands of years will be completely in vain.
Similarly, some of the other civilizations found by the First Fleet also adopted the same approach as the elves.
But unfortunately, it seems that except for the elves, other civilizations have failed.
After all, avoiding the detection of a fourth-level civilization is simply not something that a first-level or second-level civilization can do.
That is to say, the biotechnology of elves is quite special, which is why it was successful.
Finally, the third point is that there are definitely a lot of ghost battleships. The elves have a small population, so they only see a few dozen ghost battleships.
As for the planets with the most populous people, according to their records, the ghosts even have hundreds and nearly a thousand battleships every time they visit.
So, the remaining questions...
Where is the ghost?
Why do they only appear once every 10,000 years?
Also, if the ghosts are really level four civilizations, they should be able to easily reach every part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, so why haven’t they encountered any civilizations around the Alpha star system?

"Commander, there is something discovered over there at the Seventh Squadron!"
Just when Jiang Xingchen was thinking about the ghost's problem, Fu Wanting suddenly ran over quickly.
And an image was opened at the same time.
In the picture, there are three huge spaceships, each of which is more than three kilometers in length.
Although compared to the Star, it is still very small.
But this is almost larger than the three battleships in the First Fleet.
After seeing these three spaceships, Jiang Xingchen immediately frowned.
Because the style of this spaceship is completely consistent with the style of the ghost battleship in the records of the elves and other civilizations.
"Ghost? How is the current situation of the Seventh Squadron? Has there been any conflict with the other party?"
"Not yet. According to your order, when all fleets arrive in a new star system, they will first send probes in. After confirming safety, the fleet will follow up."
"Well, that's good. Let the Seventh Squadron not act rashly and just keep monitoring. We'll wait until I arrive."
"clear!"
After Fu Wanting left, Jiang Xingchen directly contacted the fleet command and reported the discovery.
"Stars, whether it is for the development of the Federation or the strategy of affiliated civilizations, the battle between us and the ghosts is inevitable."
"So, now I am ordering the First Fleet to dispatch immediately and try to capture them before they send news to the outside world!"
"We need to get more detailed information about ghosts from them!"
After a quick discussion with the top federal officials, Lu Weiming conveyed the order.
By the way, Jiang Xingchen also nodded.
"clear!"
He knew very well that based on what he had learned so far, there was no possibility for humans and ghosts to coexist.
At the same time, in order to completely bring those affiliated civilizations back home, a war with the ghosts is also inevitable.
And since we are destined to go to war, we naturally cannot go to war without knowing anything.
Therefore, this battle is particularly important.
------
One day later.
Three light-years outside Mackay's star system.
The Federation's First Fleet has completed its assembly.
More than 800 warships are now gathered together again.
"Is there any action on the Ghost Battleship?"
"Report, no, still motionless."
"No vehicles or anything else appeared?"
"No, Commander, they are like three ghost ships. According to our detection, the energy in their warships is only operating at a minimum."
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also frowned.
This is really a bit abnormal.
Although it is not unusual for warships to stay, the problem is that no vehicles enter or exit, and even the energy response is very weak.
Could it be that except for the life support system, all other systems have been turned off?
Could it be that these ghosts are hibernating and only appear once every ten thousand years?
Jiang Xingchen couldn't help complaining in his heart.
However, no matter what the actual situation is, what should be done remains unchanged.
Take down these three battleships and capture a certain number of ghosts!
"Inform the entire fleet and get ready. The battle will begin in ten minutes!"
