Just as Yan Fei's drone carrier vanished, the ape tribe flagship popped out from space, appearing ten thousand kilometers ahead of the drone carrier. But it could only see the rapidly disappearing wormhole space; the trace of the drone carrier was nowhere to be found here...
In the core region of the solar system, Yan Fei's drone carrier safely appeared on Earth's distant orbit. Seeing the remaining number of energy blocks for the drone avatar, Yan Fei felt a bit lucky. Because at this time, the drone carrier's energy blocks were already scarce, with only a mere hundred blocks left.
The drone carrier performed two ultra-long-distance wormhole travels this time, simultaneously transporting a thousand gravity bombs to a hundred million kilometers away; all these actions consumed a large amount of energy from the drone carrier. But fortunately, Yan Fei's meticulous calculations had finally allowed him to complete this massive project using the drone carrier's energy blocks. However, the remaining number of energy blocks is already limited, not enough for the drone to perform more actions.
Luckily, the data refresh time for the drone avatar was about to arrive, instantly restoring all data under the mysterious power's effect; not only did the number of energy blocks fully recover, but the gravity bombs were also replenished, allowing the drone carrier to restore its strength to its peak again.
Returning near Earth, Yan Fei didn't feel any sense of security; he continued to view the movements of the ape tribe flagship located in the solar system Oort Cloud Belt through the deployed quantum satellites. He found that the ape tribe flagship, after navigating within the stellar system under curvature, had no scratches on its hull surface. This can only indicate one thing, which is that the ape tribe flagship has a special method to avoid encountering obstacles during curvature navigation; otherwise, it wouldn't dare to fly like this within the solar system.
The ape tribe flagship, after discovering the disappearance of the drone carrier, hovered in place briefly before changing its direction and rapidly flying towards the inner solar system. Its flight speed remained the same as before, first slowly accelerating to 50,000 kilometers/second, then the gigantic hull vanished again, once more entering curvature navigation within the stellar system.
Seeing the ape tribe flagship disappear once more, Yan Fei finally confirmed the ability of the ape tribe flagship to conduct curvature navigation within the stellar system. This ape tribe flagship is incredibly strong, its strength surpassing the limits of Yan Fei's imagination. Although there are many large star bodies and meteorites within the solar system, and Yan Fei had even scattered a large number of metal balls on the key passage leading to the solar system core, the ape tribe flagship will surely avoid these obstacles, unharmed, directly appearing near Earth; these obstacles no longer serve as barriers to prevent the ape tribe flagship from entering the core of the solar system.
Reflecting on the performance of other warships from the Ape Tribe Empire's First Legion, Yan Fei had an insight that the ape tribe flagship's strength far exceeds that of other warships. It was precisely to act along with other warships that the ape tribe flagship would reduce its speed, always limiting itself to 30,000 kilometers/second. Other warships cannot conduct curvature navigation within the stellar system; the ape tribe warship also didn't perform curvature navigation while waiting for these warships, instead accompanying them in slower flight. Now without these burdens, the ape tribe flagship immediately showed its true strength, traveling quickly using curvature navigation.
If the situation is indeed as Yan Fei speculated, then not only has the situation not improved, but it has reached the most dangerous point. Because of Yan Fei, the ape tribe flagship has shed all burdens slowing its advance, allowing it to enter the inner solar system at maximum speed. Yan Fei previously estimated the ape tribe fleet would need ten years to reach Earth, but based on the current situation, when the ape tribe flagship flies at a curvature navigation speed 2000 times the speed of light, it is likely to arrive near Earth within four and a half hours.
The plan's timeframe shrinking from ten years to four and a half hours completely disrupted all of Yan Fei's plans. Not only was the preparation of supplies on Earth incomplete, but the migration of China's population was not yet finalized, with many Chinese people still awaiting transfer. If the ape tribe flagship arrives at Earth this quickly, to ensure the safety of humans in Dreamland Cave World, Yan Fei must sever the permanent spatial passage on Dream Island. Those supplies not yet transported into Dreamland Cave World and the people on Earth who haven't entered yet would have to be abandoned.
Realizing the severity of the issue, Yan Fei urgently contacted Captain China back home, informing him of this tragic latest intelligence, urging domestic preparations to be made swiftly. But during the time before the ape tribe flagship arrives, the home country can still hurry with transferring more personnel to Dream Island as per Yan Fei's plan; ideally, all key figures domestically can enter Dreamland Cave World, thus maintaining some vitality at home.
Yan Fei originally planned to transport some personnel from other countries and ethnicities into Dreamland Cave World to sustain civilization's diversity. But now, with time being critically tight, he cannot even fully accommodate Chinese people, naturally unable to attend to people from other countries; he can only abandon them.
However, considering the ape tribe flagship would officially appear near Earth in a few hours, there was no need to keep the intelligence on the ape tribe confidential anymore. Therefore, Yan Fei let the artificial intelligence "Dream" start publishing notifications on the world network, detailing the origins and backgrounds of the ape tribe empire and cosmic humans, including the grievances between the two civilizations over the past eighty thousand years, as well as the intelligence indicating the ape tribe empire's return to the solar system and imminent arrival at Earth. Although other Earth humans can no longer enter Dreamland Cave World, Yan Fei still hopes they would understand the situation and not be ignorant fools.
