The dim Proxima Centauri galaxy appears dead because there is no life.
Each planet is like a machine that never stops.
Always run according to its own trajectory.
But if you use space radar to explore this galaxy, you will find that there is an aircraft in the orbit of a certain planet.
Yes.
This aircraft is the light speed curvature spacecraft Golden Crow.
Because the number of Galaxy Coins Xu Lei had was limited at first, it was only enough to pay for his trip to Setan through the Star Gate. For this reason, he had to let the Golden Crow stay in the Proxima Galaxy to take over. Anyway, relying on the intelligent operating system of the spacecraft in such a non-existent world
There is no problem in keeping the galaxy of life safe.
And at this time.
However, the Golden Crow, which had been dormant for an unknown period of time, suddenly woke up.
Then speed up and head towards the planet's surface.
It took a few seconds to reach the sky above the area where the star gate was located. As soon as it entered the suspended state, it seemed that a big earthquake had erupted on the entire ground. A huge ravine opened in the rock layer, as if there was some huge beast deep in the ground trying to get out.
The whole process lasted about ten seconds.
This giant beast finally showed its true face.
The black streamlined body has a metallic luster on its surface, and its length reaches a terrifying five thousand meters.
The plasma muzzle in front of it is like a black hole in the universe.
Enough to easily destroy a planetary fortress.
That's right.
This behemoth is the large battleship Star Destroyer built by Setan.
As one Star Destroyer completely broke through the shackles of the rock formation, two more Star Destroyers and ten medium-sized battleships flew out from behind.
When these battleships are arranged neatly over the planet.
Invisibly, a strong deterrent force is erupted.
Compared with these dozen battleships, the Golden Crow appears to be very small.
…
"I'm finally back. I wonder how everyone in the solar system is doing now..."
Star Destroyer in the middle.
In the core control hall, Xu Lei stood in front of the console, looking at the familiar red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, and a familiar figure began to appear in his mind.
It made him very impatient.
I can’t wait to enter the solar system in the next second.
After passing through the third-level star gate with the help of his identity as a Setan, he successfully returned to Proxima Centauri with these battleships.
Although the stargate in the Proxima Centauri system was completely declared useless.
But it can be considered as completing its mission.
Speaking of Proxima Centauri's star gate being built underground, it was quite puzzling for Xu Lei, especially after seeing other second-level civilization star gates.
After all, the most common thing that travels through star gates is battleships.
During use, a stargate is needed to open the space channel. Under such preconditions, it is definitely most convenient to build it in the air. Otherwise, it will bring disadvantages to the traveling of civilized warships and will only waste each other's time and cause interstellar traffic jams.
Especially large battleships like Star Destroyers.
You can't always create a big earthquake on the ground.
Therefore, Xu Lei speculated that the star gates in the Proxima Galaxy should have been built in the sky at first. However, as the civilizations in the galaxy relocated and evacuated, the ground experienced crustal movement over time, which caused the star gates to be covered deep underground.
But there is no need to think about this issue in the future, after all, the Star Gate no longer exists.
In the future, the solar system will replace the Proxima Centauri galaxy.
Become a new stargate owner.
It is also worth mentioning that after successfully returning to Proxima Centauri, Xu Lei tried to log into his own galaxy civilization system.
But it was discovered that it was no longer possible to establish contact with civilizations such as the Green Star of Setan.
He had already anticipated this situation. He knew that communication between galaxies was maintained by star gates. Now that the star gates of the Proxima Centauri were damaged, the connection would naturally not be successful.
We can only wait until the solar system star gate is established.
Knowing this, Xu Lei didn't think about it anymore.
Because right now he is still facing a problem.
That's how to get to the solar system.
First of all, the fastest flying one is undoubtedly the Golden Crow light speed curvature spacecraft. At twice the speed of light, it only takes two years to reach the Earth.
Although the Star Destroyer is extremely large and reaches a terrifying five thousand meters in length, with the help of its powerful anti-matter engine, it can still enter a sub-light speed state when sailing at full speed. However, the battleship is a little slower in terms of speed.
If Xu Lei wants to reach Earth Star as soon as possible, taking the Golden Crow is undoubtedly the best choice.
"It looks like we have to fight side by side with our old friends again." Xu Lei quickly determined the plan, and while muttering to himself, he began to set up locations for all the battleships.
"The coordinates are set to the Earth star of the solar system."
"Go at full speed."
…
"Goal set."
"Calculating..."
"The estimated remaining time of arrival is 1680 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds."
Since the language of these battleships is all set to the Earth-Star language system, Xu Lei can easily understand the information after hearing the system announcement. According to the voyage time given by the Star Destroyer, it is about four years and eight months.
Basically in line with the sub-light speed level.
Of course, the navigation time of the remaining ten medium-sized battleships will be extended.
But relying on these three Star Destroyers alone, human civilization can easily destroy the fleets of other second-level civilizations, and safety can be fully guaranteed.
Therefore, it does not matter if the battleship arrives later or slower.
Relying on his highest authority to control the battleship, after setting the relevant instructions, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately turned around and left the core control room to prepare to enter the Golden Crow.
"Open the hatch."
Soon Xu Lei arrived at the belly cabin of the Star Destroyer.
As the sound came out, the heavy hatch in front was suddenly opened slowly.
This allowed the Golden Crow to fly in smoothly.
Xu Lei felt quite emotional when he looked at this light-speed curvature spacecraft at close range again after many years.
Speaking of light speed spacecraft, we have to mention the manufacturing of light speed curvature spacecraft by Star Ring Heavy Industry. According to Su Changfeng’s previous introduction at Green Star, Star Ring Heavy Industry manufactured a total of twenty such curvature light speed spacecraft in the early stage.
And it will soon be put into the Orion spiral arm market.
With the performance of the warp-of-light spaceships and the popularity of Halo Heavy Industry, I believe these spacecrafts will be snapped up very quickly.
Especially after the failure of Chenxing Group, most of the market fell into the hands of Xinghuan.
By then, the influence will inevitably increase significantly.
According to previous calculations, these twenty curvature light speed spacecraft can bring him at least 200 million influence, and it will be easy to purchase technology exhibits in the science and technology museum.
I believe that it won’t take long for the solar system to have a warship production capacity that is not weaker than that of Green Star.
And we still need to build large battleships.
Completely establish the position of the solar system in the Milky Way.
Immediately after Xu Lei skillfully entered the Golden Crow, when the familiar system sound came, he could no longer control his homesickness.
"Master, welcome back."
"Correction time."
"The current time is 9:34:56 on November 22, 2051, Wednesday."
Xu Lei looked at the solar system time displayed on the main screen of the spacecraft, pondered for a moment and then whispered: "I didn't expect that only a few months have passed since I arrived at Proxima Centauri and now come back. Stargate is really a good thing!"
He originally thought that this trip to Planet Setan would take a long time, and he would probably feel strange when he returned to Planet Earth.
But I didn't expect that he had only left Earth Star for just a few years.
It is indeed far beyond expectations.
Of course, he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on the past.
It’s business to seize the time and return to the Earth Star.
After thinking about this clearly, Xu Lei no longer wasted time, and immediately started the antimatter power engine and curvature space engine after resetting the coordinates of the earth star.
As the Golden Crow turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the battleship, the hatch automatically closed.
Then three Star Destroyers and ten battleships started their engines at maximum power at the same time, following closely behind the Golden Crow.
——
at the same time.
On a certain interstellar route to the solar system, a fleet is sailing at a constant speed.
At the head were six battleships that looked like baby cicada monkeys, followed by several industrial battleships.
If you look closely at the symbols on the battleship's exterior, you will find that it is exactly the same as the battleship that Misti piloted, and they were the fleet of the Pioneer Empire.
After receiving the coordinates and request for help message sent by Misti, the nearest Pioneer Empire fleet immediately went to support. If nothing goes wrong, they will probably enter the solar system in about thirty years, and then completely conquer the entire galaxy.
Originally they should have sailed at full speed.
But halfway through, they received a new message.
The galactic civilization has added new members.
And this new member is the target of their raid.
In this situation, their situation became awkward. They didn't know whether to continue to the solar system or choose to return to the Pioneer Star.
Mainly for all civilizations within the Milky Way Civilization Administration, regardless of the civilization level, other galaxy civilizations that want to launch an interstellar war must not only have a legitimate reason, but also must submit a war application to the Milky Way Civilization Administration.
The war can only begin after the administration has passed.
First of all, this process is relatively slow, and as a newly registered civilization, the solar system will normally be taken care of by the administration.
Applications will basically be rejected.
But if we launch an attack on the solar system forcefully, it will violate the regulations of the Authority.
Regardless of success or failure afterwards, the pioneer civilization will be severely punished.
Therefore, faced with this complicated situation, as the fleet commander, the royal family bishop-level pioneer Fogli had no choice but to temporarily slow down the fleet and wait for the final decision from the empire.
The Pioneer Empire only knows that the solar system has been registered with the Galaxy Civilization Administration, but in the final analysis it is still a first-class civilization, which is a very easy target for them to bully. In addition, after they learned more information about the solar system, their hearts
Greed has been magnified countless times.
The population of the pioneer civilization has already exceeded 10 billion.
And all live on the Pioneer planet.
It can be said that planetary resources are extremely scarce.
Because of this, they frequently send fleets to search for suitable star systems for invasion.
Now we have finally found the target of the solar system. If we can capture it, it will solve the problem of the pioneer civilization to a great extent. We can even use the new galaxy to allow the pioneer empire to enter the ranks of third-level civilization. Even if it faces Setan, it will not be able to do so.
It would be too scary.
So in the end, faced with the temptation of such a star system, the Pioneer Empire decided to continue to invade the solar system.
The reason is to save his own royal family members.
With such a very legitimate reason, the fleet can enter the solar system openly, and even if it does not directly launch a war, it can slowly encroach on human civilization.
If they are counterattacked by the solar system, they can justifiably take action.
Even if you are interrogated by the Galaxy Civilization Administration, you will still have enough reasons to stall.
…
"Bishop Fogli, after receiving the order from the Imperial Military and Political Department, let us continue heading towards the solar system and rescue Bishop Misty."
Pioneer Imperial Fleet main ship control hall.
Fleet Commander Fogli, who was sitting on the chair, was immediately overjoyed when he heard the news. He subconsciously stood up and said, "It's really great. That idiot Mesti actually fell on a weak first-level civilization. It's almost embarrassing.
Our pioneer empire has lost its face, and this time it will be me, Fogli, who washes away the shame."
Fogli and Misti are both members of the royal family and belong to the rank of bishop among the pioneers.
Therefore, the two of them are in a competitive relationship.
They all want to earn enough merit to enter the Military and Administrative Department.
Originally, when Misty sent a message asking for help, Misty's fleet should have taken charge of the matter. However, since his fleet was the closest to the solar system, Fogli took the initiative to send the message from the Military and Political Department after hearing the news.
This task was taken over.
He felt particularly excited at the thought of being able to severely humiliate Misty.
However, midway, they learned that the solar system had entered the Milky Way Civilization Administration, so they had to temporarily slow down the fleet.
Seek advice from the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government.
It has to be said that he was suffering quite a lot while waiting for the news, for fear that the Empire would ask him to return to the Pioneer Planet.
In this way, he not only lost the opportunity to humiliate Misti, but also lost a very great achievement. After all, winning such a smart civilization galaxy for the empire was enough for him to enter the Imperial Military and Administrative Department, and even have very great power.
It would be a real pity if we really return to the Pioneer Planet in disgrace.
Fortunately, what worried him did not happen. With this order from the Military and Administrative Department, he no longer had to worry about anything. He only had to consider one thing now.
That is to travel to the solar system as quickly as possible.
Turn it into a new colony for pioneer civilization.
Compared to Misty, Fogli is undoubtedly more cautious.
Despite learning such a happy news, he still maintained a clear mind.
He did not immediately speed up the fleet. Instead, he looked at the many ambassador-level pioneer subordinates in the control hall and asked them for specific plans for the invasion of the solar system.
Plan to finalize a specific plan first, and then launch a surprise attack on the solar system.
"You all know the situation now. Let's share your opinions on how to win the solar system at the minimum cost."
As Fogli's words fell, several ambassadorial pioneers next to him no longer remained silent and started chatting one after another.
"According to the information disclosed by the Galaxy Civilization Administration's information treasure trove, the solar system is just a first-level civilization with a total population of three billion. With the strength of our fleet, there should be no problems and we can easily deal with the opponent."
"After all, Bishop Mosti is a lesson learned from our mistakes. We must remain cautious."
"I don't agree. Bishop Misty only sailed a single battleship to the solar system. The level of military force of our fleet is incomparable."
"The structure of the life form of this solar system civilization is very special. It is half carbon-based and half mechanical. If we don't pay attention to this, we are likely to be at a disadvantage."
"Under our neutral particle flow main cannon, even mechanical bodies can't resist it."
Fogli listened to the words of his subordinates and nodded in agreement: "That's right. We must not make the same mistake as Misty. We must find a way to reach the solar system in advance without giving the other party time to prepare.
.”
I have to say that Fogli's proposal is indeed very good.
First of all, the side of the solar system knew that it would face the threat of the Pioneer Empire fleet, and made a series of plans for this purpose.
In this case, the later you reach the solar system, the more time you have for the enemy to prepare, which is definitely disadvantageous for them.
If we can reach the solar system in advance and launch a surprise attack before various planetary defenses are built, it will definitely have unexpected effects and even win the victory at the minimum cost.
But it is very difficult to achieve this level.
A problem needs to be solved.
And soon some ambassador-level pioneers took the initiative to bring this problem to light.
"But Lord Bishop, our fleet's sailing speed is limited. Even if it sails at full power and overload, it cannot reach the speed of light."
"It will take at least ten years to enter the solar system."
The sailing speed of medium-sized battleships is limited, but if you want to reach the solar system as soon as possible, you must find a way to increase the fleet's sailing speed.
This is almost unsolvable.
Fogli was also well aware of the trouble involved, but he was really unwilling to give up, so he had to fall into deep thought.
I want to see if there are any other ways.
that's all.
When the entire control hall fell into silence for nearly half a minute, Fogli suddenly raised his head, as if thinking of something, and quickly asked: "Have we detected anything in the wormhole we discovered earlier?"
“For example, is the structure stable?”
"Where does it lead?"
Previously, when their fleet was sailing, they accidentally discovered a naturally formed wormhole.
However, since it is not yet known whether this wormhole is stable, no one dares to enter it rashly, so it is temporarily shelved.
But you must know that wormholes are a relatively special existence in the universe.
Its function is similar to a stargate.
If the stability of the wormhole and the coordinates leading to it can be determined, it will be possible to shorten their route into the solar system.
It was with this hope that Fogli specifically mentioned this matter again.
The ambassador-level pioneer next to him immediately understood what Fogli meant when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, we can send a small frigate into the wormhole to try, so that we can determine the wormhole in the shortest time.
hole conditions.”
"Very good, just do it like this." Fogli nodded in agreement.
At this time, Xu Lei, who was still on his way to the solar system, did not know that the Pioneer Empire fleet not only did not choose to return home, but also planned to use natural wormholes to raid the solar system.
