Although Charlie was momentarily stunned by Lin Yu's domineering attitude, he did not forget his main objective.
"I wonder if Your Excellency Lin Yu has noticed anything unusual at the entrance of the ocean?"
He did not directly answer Lin Yu's multiple choice question. Instead, he asked a strange question.
Indeed, Lin Yu found this question to be strange.
Unusual at the entrance of the ocean?
Lin Yu had not noticed this. After all, after exiting the ocean, they had headed straight for the capital of Crete. Who would turn back to check if there were any abnormalities in the ocean?
Interesting. It seemed that the emperor of the Crete Empire had his own trump card. But … what exactly was the abnormality in the ocean?
Although Lin Yu was a little surprised that something unexpected had happened, he was also quite interested in what Charlie had said.
"Arrange for a warship to head to the Lorrte Star Sector and check if there are any abnormalities at the entrance of the ocean!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Yu took a deep look at Charlie before he picked up Bai Xuan's communication and gave the order. After the communication was disconnected, they sat there quietly and did not speak.
Both sides knew very well that they would have to wait for Lin Yu to come up with an answer. Otherwise, there was no point in discussing anything now.
Just like that, the two of them …
Fell into a temporary silence.
As for Bai Xuan, after receiving Lin Yu's order, she immediately sent out ten Netherworld Battleships, all of which were manned by Rank-B Dark Energy Envoys. The Netherworld Battleships carried some experts who came with the fleet and activated their hyperspace engines to head for the Lorrte Star Sector.
With the speed of the second-generation Netherworld Battleships, they crossed hundreds of thousands of light-years and arrived at the mission target in just over ten minutes.
Obviously, the guards here had received orders from above and had no intention of stopping them. The ten Netherworld Battleships did not even need to activate their stealth mode. They easily passed through the originally thick defensive circle and arrived at the entrance of the ocean.
"Eh … Why is there a barrier here? And it's so big that it covers the entire entrance of the ocean?"
"Leader, look at the data here. This is a barrier formed by dark energy, right?"
After probing the entrance of the ocean current, several experts immediately discovered a problem. The entire entrance of the ocean current is now covered by a barrier, and according to the data obtained, this is simply a barrier formed by dark energy.
"It is indeed a dark energy barrier, and this is comparable to the one released by the Federation's S-class dark energy manipulators. Most importantly, the coverage of this barrier is too large. Even if Commander Lin Yu could release a dark energy barrier of the same strength, he would not be able to cover such a large area, right?"
As the leader of the expert group, Jiang Hao was obviously more knowledgeable than his subordinates. After checking the data, he immediately came to a conclusion.
However, he also had doubts in his heart.
Wasn't the Crete civilization a level-7 civilization? How could they have dark energy technology comparable to a level-10 civilization? Did they have the same dark energy technology as the Federation?
Furthermore, even with the aid of dark energy, a mere Tier 7 civilization shouldn't be able to reach such a level, right?
For a moment, a large number of questions lingered in Jiang Hao's mind.
However, he did not have the time to slowly study this problem. After all …
The commander was still waiting for a reply!
-----
"Beep, beep, beep …"
In the virtual space where birds chirped and flowers bloomed, a sound that did not match the surrounding scenery suddenly rang out. It was Lin Yu's communicator.
Lin Yu did not avoid Charlie, who was opposite him, and directly answered the call.
"Commander, we have preliminary results from the investigation of the ocean current entrance!"
"Well, tell me in detail!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Even though he had not said anything, Charlie's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.
Although they had been prepared beforehand and knew that the hyperspace technology of the Federation's fleet was very strong, after all, only half an hour had passed since they arrived in the Lorrte Star Sector and appeared in the capital of the Empire.
However, how long had it been?
At the very most, it had not been more than 20 minutes.
The Federation had arranged for a warship to depart from the capital and arrive in the Lorrte Star Sector to examine the ocean current. They had even come to a preliminary conclusion.
This speed was faster than what he had imagined. Ten minutes would be enough to cover the distance of 800,000 light-years.
It should be noted that with the most advanced hyperspace technology, the Empire's warship would take at least five hours to reach the Lorrte Star Sector from the capital.
The difference between the two …
It could only be described with the word 'terrifying'.
It was not until this moment that Charlie truly realized how big the gap between a Tier 7 and Tier 8 technological civilization was!
"Commander, it's like this. At the entrance to the Wills Super Cluster, we found a special barrier that completely covers it. After we read the detailed data of this barrier, we found that this is actually a barrier built with dark energy as the foundation!"
"Based on my speculation, the person who can deploy a dark energy barrier of this level is either a Tier 10 technological civilization, or a civilization like the Federation that has that kind of technology!"
That kind of technology …
Although Jiang Hao did not say what kind of technology it was, Lin Yu did know.
Dark Energy Assisted Calculation Technology!
Using this technology, in terms of the use of dark energy, Lin Yu, Zi Ling, and Zi Luo had reached the combat power of a Tier 10 dark energy user even when they were in a Tier 8 technological civilization.
Compared to the calm Lin Yu, Charlie was about to lose his composure …
There were many speculations about the culprit behind the blockade of the exit of the entire Bosnia Super Cluster.
Of course, although there were many speculations, there were basically only two kinds. One was a Tier 8 technological civilization, and the other was a Tier 9 technological civilization. However, no one had ever thought of a Tier 10 technological civilization.
However, now that Charlie heard the report from Lin Fan's subordinates that the one who deployed this barrier should be a Tier 10 technological civilization, he panicked …
Even if he could be the first to advance to a Tier 8 technological civilization and unify the entire Super Cluster, would he really be able to get rid of the culprit behind the scenes? Would he really be able to get rid of a Tier 10 technological civilization?
Would the Crete Empire really be reduced to a toy of an advanced civilization forever?
A touch of depression instantly rose from the bottom of Charlie's heart …
However, just as he was getting more and more depressed, he suddenly heard Lin Yu ask a question. His ears immediately perked up, afraid that he would miss a word.
"Do we currently have a way to break this barrier that blocks the ocean current?"
