Chapter 224: Chapter 152: Iwen’s Powerful Performance_2

In fact, after understanding these things, Shen Shi’s greatest feeling was a deeper awareness of the significance and importance of culture.

The reason why the Mude System wants to destroy the cultures of weaker civilizations is probably not just for easier cultivation, but more importantly, to integrate the cultures of all civilizations into the entire Mude System. In the end, they become part of the Mude System, forever to be cultivated and exploited.

Just like this race of Iwen before us.

The entire race has become commodities constantly sold, yet feels no sorrow, even thinking it should be so.

Therefore, we must never let human culture be destroyed, and even more so, must not let it be led by other civilizations.

Shen Shi strengthened this conviction.

"We’ll learn the detailed functions gradually later. Have you found the nearest fleet?" Shen Shi asked.

"Yes, there are two fleets within jump range." Iwen’s tone suddenly changed.

Her expression also became serious.

If her true nature was revealed earlier, now it was using Primordial Energy to suppress emotions.

Lives with a certain mastery of Primordial Energy mostly have this kind of "dual nature".

She didn’t make any moves, but a virtual Star Map appeared in front of Shen Shi and Ai Xin’Er.

"One is large in number, about ten thousand ships, but very weak technologically. It’s suspected to have just developed Curvature Engines and has been out of its Mother Star for less than five hundred years. No strong individuals have been found, and it doesn’t even have Jump Engines. If given enough time, I can handle them all. The other fleet is closer in distance, slightly smaller in number. Technical analysis shows biomorphic warships without Jump Engines. Captain, is the latter an ally?"

Shen Shi looked at the clearly marked warships of both the Worren Fleet and Human Fleet on the Star Map, feeling somewhat surprised.

It actually mapped out all the warships of the Worren Fleet and Human Fleet.

Even including those warships that went to set traps!

This means both sides of the entire battlefield are being clearly watched by hidden eyes, without any awareness.

Not to mention, Iwen can even discern if they have Jump Engines or not?

"How did you tell their technological level?" Shen Shi couldn’t help asking.

"Captain, my ship is equipped with long-range detectors that enhance Primordial Energy detection effects. These fleets don’t have relevant shielding devices or Primordial Energy masters, so I can easily detect internal structures." Iwen gave an answer beyond Shen Shi’s imagination.

From about 0.34 light years away, yet detecting the internal structure of the opponent’s warship in a split second...

The technology of high-level civilizations is truly a complete crush on lower-level civilizations!

No wonder common interstellar knowledge always emphasizes the risks within interstellar space.

If at this time, a passing A-level civilization warship is observing them, would they also be as oblivious as these Worren and humans?

Ai Xin’Er evidently thought of this too, pursing her lips, her hand slightly tightening around Shen Shi’s arm.

"Don’t worry." Shen Shi gave Ai Xin’Er an assuring look.

He was just lamenting a bit but quickly realized that the probability of such a situation occurring was actually very low.

If not for Time Crystal, Iwen would never have been in his hands.

Worrying about such matters is no better than fear of non-existent dangers.

More importantly—he can see the future.

If an extremely rare disaster were really to happen, then the future would not react without feedback. This is Shen Shi’s biggest reassurance.

"That smaller fleet is of my race." Shen Shi said to Iwen.

"Understood, marked as allies." Iwen responded succinctly.

Different from her weak demeanor in reality, in her working state, she indeed looked quite heroic.

But this did not affect her psychological activities.

At this moment, Iwen felt a bit delighted.

It seems the civilization to which the captain belongs isn’t very powerful.

Doesn’t this precisely highlight her help to the captain?

As a warship, the biggest fear is the captain obtaining a better ship, even if she cannot be transferred, if abandoned or refrigerated, then ship life would undoubtedly become extremely bleak.

Therefore, the more important, the better!

"Let’s return to the fleet." Shen Shi instructed again, "Also, bring the Wogte along."

"Yes!" Iwen didn’t make any moves, but her ship already extended to hold the Wogte in her palms.

Then placed it directly inside.

As a warship, she naturally has a carry-on warehouse, and accommodating a small warship poses no problem.

In fact, her ship’s equipment also includes thousands of small fighters, operable unmanned.

Though unmanned fighters have weaknesses in Primordial Energy on the battlefield, at close range, she can block Primordial Energy attacks, so unmanned operation poses no significant issue.

"What is your jump range?" Shen Shi suddenly thought of this question and couldn’t help asking.

Jump range is the most important parameter of Jump Engines.

Wogte has only twelve light years, but it has already reached the D9 level.

The jump distance of the twenty Dike Battleships at the Daike Base is about thirty-four or thirty-five light years.

This is only the level of C2, at most C3 level.

After all, the present Daike Civilization is far from being the Daike Civilization three thousand years later.

And Iwen gave Shen Shi a surprising answer.

"The maximum regular jump distance is 225 light years. In overclock mode, it can reach 281 light years, but it may damage the engine." Upon finishing, Iwen added markings on the Star Map, "Currently, we’ve detected eleven jump-capable nodes, the closest one can serve as a jump pad within the node."

Generally speaking, warship jumps can only proceed through nodes, which means when the distance between nodes is within the jump range, it can jump directly to the position within the node’s jump range.

Using the node as a pad means quickly jumping to the node and then jumping back from the node.

To achieve a jump in a non-node area.

Such as directly jumping to the front of the Worren Main Fleet, 0.3 light years away.

It sounds simple.

But in practice, the technical operation is extremely complex.

A normal Jump Engine, when performing a jump, requires a certain amount of time for energy accumulation and preparation. Not to mention performing two quick jumps with a pad, or a so-called half-jump behavior.

This is a theoretically simple, yet practically infeasible technical field.

Shen Shi realized once again that the Iwen before him is definitely not just at the level of C9 technology, possibly even reaching the standards of a B-level civilization, at least partially.

"That node has a monitoring base from another civilization, temporarily no need to jump." Shen Shi mused for a while but didn’t forget to remind.

"Monitoring? I don’t know what their monitoring standards are. I have an anti-detection system with stealth jump abilities, albeit not strong." Iwen surprised Shen Shi yet again.

Jumping through nodes will inevitably cause changes in the node’s curvature, at least momentarily linking curvature, enabling jumps.

But this can be shielded?

How is this achieved?

How much more powerful technology does this warship possess?

Shen Shi was silent for a long time, then heard Iwen say again, "Captain, we’ve returned to the fleet. To avoid alarming allies, I’ve activated stealth mode and haven’t been discovered."
