"Hiss~!"
Jon rubbed his head, feeling heavy.
"Hangovers are really a drink lover's worst enemy."
He was feeling a little out of his mind.
In fact, he didn't drink on Earth, but afterward, he still let Ella make grain alcohol because of melancholy.
In the universe, the constant loneliness and pressure came at him, and he was also a normal human, or even originally just an ordinary person.
"Right, superconducting ..."
He suddenly thought about it, but then recalled that controlled temperature superconductivity seemed to have been completed.
He remembered going back to his bedroom after drinking, laying down in the hibernation chamber, and falling asleep.
"I don't think I've done hibernation yet."
Jon looked at the clock in his bedroom, because of being in the universe, the clock no longer recorded hours and minutes and seconds, but years.
It was now, 3758 AD.
He had completed one hibernation.
And 734 years had passed in one hibernation.
Time flies.
I wonder how far Ella has progressed.
Jon put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, Ella already knew that he had woken up and had specially asked the service robot to bring him a meal.
He ate his meal comfortably before entering the cockpit.
"Welcome back after 734 years, Jon."
Jon nodded towards Ella before taking his seat.
Nothing had changed here from all those years ago.
He opened what he could control and found a few additions.
For example ...
The "Missile Launch" option.
The interface was simple and easy to understand, and he clicked in to see what he had planned before, a small Absolute Zero weapon.
"It looks like Hope's modifications are complete."
Ella replied, "Yes, Jon."
"The Hope was not overhauled by me due to the fact that it was already finalized itself."
"However, on the inside, it completed a full range of upgrades, which gave it a speed of 1,222.22km/s as previously stated."
"It also carries small Absolute Zero missiles, with all-around improvements made from the 36 initially envisioned, allowing the load capacity to be raised to 48."
A huge improvement indeed.
But there was something else that Jon was most concerned about, something that had been planned in the previous two years that he had been awake.
"What about the First Fleet?"
To make an attack on a civilization, it was naturally impossible to do so with just one Hope.
So it would require an entire fleet to do so.
For this reason Jon and Ella had discussed a plan to build the first fleet to be realized over the years.
"And of course, Ella has completed the first fleet."
"See!"
With a wave of Ella's hand, an array of assorted ships appeared on the huge screen in the cockpit.
Jon, who had been somewhat expecting the fleet, couldn't help but look surprised at the sight of the ships.
The scale was much larger than he had expected.
Ella saw the surprise on Jon's face and proudly continued her introduction.
"The first fleet consists of the Hope as the main ship, equipped with 12 1200-meter class battleships, 5 1400-meter class star cruisers, 6 800-meter class frigates, 4 2400-meter class star boarding ships, and 16 500-meter class destroyers, a total of 44 ships."
Generally speaking, a dozen or so ships could be called a fully compiled fleet.
And Ella had built the first fleet to be as many as 44 ships, so one could only say that quantity was power.
Ella continued her introduction.
"Battleships are the ships with the highest firepower, which carry powerful main cannons."
"Star cruisers have the most maneuverability and can reach 1455km/s."
"Frigates have the strongest defense, using super-structured alloys for their hulls, with little to no extra space inside, and are mainly equipped with defensive missiles as well, and are equipped with the latest type of electromagnetic force field shields that can effectively distort lasers."
"Each of the star boarding ships is equipped with 300 of the latest Battlestar Generation I, and 40 of the Falcon Generation III, for both attack and reconnaissance."
"Destroyers are also equipped with low-power electromagnetic force field shields, themselves carrying both offensive and defensive attack modes, and can be used as sub-battleships when firepower is low."
Each type of ship had its own place, and the First Fleet would be the main force behind Jon's conquest of the universe afterward.
"Brief us on the enemy's current situation."
Having the First Fleet, at this point Jon could be said to have been transformed.
They now had the ability to fight against a civilization, a planet.
Ella was a professional and quickly made a summary report of things.
"During these 734 years, I have fired all ten Absolute Zero weapons and sent a team of Falcons forward to probe the enemy for information."
"It was found that the enemy is indeed a civilization that develops extremely slowly, and their overall flexibility of thinking is more than one level lower than that of humans, resulting in an abnormally slow pace of their technological innovations."
"After being bombarded by our Absolute Zero missiles, their civilization has come to a standstill."
"In these 734 years, they have only completed 3 rounds of technological advancement, equivalent to the amount of technological advancement in the original 47 years, of course, this doesn't exclude the possibility of the enemy deliberately hiding it."
"That's why I arranged nuclear weapons on the Falcon II to launch a suicide attack towards their main buildings when the Falcon's mission is complete."
"No information has been gathered that they have super-advanced technological weapons."
"Absolute Zero weapons launches have been halted for 343 years, and their planets have returned to their original geothermal environments."
"After we did strikes against them, they have also gathered up their deployment in the stars, and now count their ships at 1,574, which may seem like a lot, but the number of ships above the 1,000-meter class is only 61 of them."
A more detailed survey.
Jon wanted to hear Ella's judgment on the current situation.
"Do we now have the possibility to launch an attack towards the enemy civilization?"
Ella was not optimistic about this.
"If we launch an attack now, our victory rate is only 60.84%, Ella does not recommend launching an attack at this time."
Surprisingly, it was still that low.
It was clear that the enemy had already been absolutely crushed.
But if you think about it, the enemy civilization was not as strong as them in terms of quality, but the difference in quantity was too great.
Moreover, this was a war waged against a civilization, and without an absolute advantage, it was likely to become a protracted war.
This was even more unfavorable for the wandering civilization.
The lessons from the history of war of human civilization were clear to all, the war itself military was one aspect, and another aspect was the will.
If the will of a civilization could not be worn down, its resistance would live on.
Besides, what Jon had waged was not a genocidal battle, but a colonization war that had once played out among humans.
"So what are we missing?"
Jon asked.
Anything he could wait for, with the hibernation pods he just needed to lie back down again.
Ella's answer was succinct.
"The main gun!"
