Williams sinisterly chuckled.
“That’s not the most lamentable thing at all.
What’s most lamentable is that you’re the one who proposed the idea of collapsing the Golden Tent.”

Several minutes after the screen had been turned off, the list of ships and crew members that Williams had organized was sent to Xia Fei’s mailbox.

There were ten ships in the fleet being sent to insectoid territory for this trip.
Besides the capital ship, no ship type larger than the cruiser was allowed.

In other words, in this fleet, only the capital ship was allowed to be a battleship.
The remaining ships could be cruisers at most.
Of course, the defenseless transport ships were not included in this.

The primary reason for this was to prevent the fleet from attacking the other party from the rear.
After all, both the insectoids and the Alliance knew that this so-called trade exchange was really just an exchange of spies.

Xia Fei’s capital ship was naturally the Impaler rather than getting a large battleship for himself.
One reason was that the Impaler already possessed impressive fighting strength and was not at all inferior to a regular battleship.
Another reason was that intentionally lowering his strength would make the insectoids disregard his existence and focus on the other two fleets.

“Three Gaia Industries Vexor-class cruisers, three Amarr Maller-class cruisers, and my Impaler make for seven cruiser ships.
This configuration seems a little weak.
We could have a maximum of ten ships, but you only have seven,” Phantom said.

Xia Fei replied, “It’s eight.
Don’t forget that I also have the Vampire.”

“Why not use the maximum ten?”

“I’ve already explained the reasoning to you.
Since three fleets are going out, I certainly don’t want to be the one that stands out the most.
Flaunting one’s strength in enemy territory is not a wise decision.
Just think about it.
What would be the difference between a fleet of ten ships and eight ships running into an insectoid army?”

Phantom replied with comprehension, “There would be no difference.
Both would be completely wiped out.”

Xia Fei continued.
“Don’t think that I’m someone who makes decisions based on emotion.
I’ve seriously considered every step.
We’re heading into enemy territory.
Even a complete fleet won’t be able to survive an enemy encirclement.
Thus, no matter how well-equipped we are, a direct clash with the enemy will only mean death.

“Do you know why I requested three Vexors and three Mallers?”

“Why?”

“Because these two ships can release large numbers of unmanned drones to disrupt the enemies.
In addition, they have thick armor and can take a huge beating.
If the situation turns dicey, I’ll have these six ships stay in front and disrupt the enemies.”

“And you?”

“I’ll activate my cloaking device and get out of there, of course,” Xia Fei said without the slightest shame.

Phantom was speechless.
He knew that Xia Fei was a meticulous planner, but he had never imagined that Xia Fei would have already considered the worst-case scenario, but his methods were a little too selfish.

Still, after some thought, Phantom understood.
Xia Fei only cared about his own people and had never cared about those who had no relation to him.
This was his personality, and in this dangerous universe, a fearless mindset was just a legend.
Survival was the absolute principle.

In his room, Xia Fei worked with Harris all the way back on Earth through a twenty-four-hour video-call.
Even without the military’s prompting, Xia Fei would still attempt to complete the final designs of the Black Bat radar as quickly as possible.
After all, he was the one heading into the insectoid territory.
In the middle of the unknown sea of stars, losing communication was one of the most frightening things.

“This is the design for a signal polarity reversal system.
I’m sending it to you.
Make some initial modifications to the Black Bat radar’s polarity reversal designs, and then have me look everything over,” Xia Fei ordered.

Upon receiving the designs, Harris was flabbergasted.
These designs were far more advanced than he had imagined.
They did not seem to be used by any commonly available models.

“If I can ask a question, this design doesn’t seem like one used by any publicly available device.
Where did you get it?” Harris curiously asked.

“The military,” Xia Fei said without raising his head.

Harris firmly nodded.
Such exquisite designs were probably only possessed by those top-secret departments.
He felt that Xia Fei was much stronger now than when he had first gotten to know him.
He even had the military’s top-secret designs.
In his mind, he raised his opinion of his master.

“Right.
Don’t forget to make a copy for future reference,” Xia Fei added.

Harris pursed lips and said no more.

Having all of the military’s data was not everything.
Xia Fei still needed to comprehend and digest them all and choose the right designs to modify and then apply to the Black Bat radar.

Fortunately, Harris had a good engineering foundation, which helped Xia Fei save a lot of time.
The two of them divided the work between themselves—Harris handled the initial designs while Xia Fei only needed to correct the deficiencies.

Uncle Porter soon joined in.
He created a data model in the computer which tested how much disruption the radar system could handle, a simple pressure test for the radar.

Four days and four nights later…

“What are the results of the model simulations?” Xia Fei sternly asked.

“Success.
The signal wasn’t affected by the shockwave from a nuclear explosion,” Uncle Porter replied, rubbing his red eyes.

“And the result of the black hole theoretical test?”

“A 99.37% chance of escaping!” Harris excitedly said.
“Xia Fei, we’ve finally succeeded! The signal from a Black Bat radar can even escape the pull of a blackhole! This can definitely be considered one of the greatest inventions in the history of the Pan-human Alliance!”
