At this time, on the bridge of the Angel of Dawn, the large and well-categorized staff and command teams also automatically switched to the state of the scientific expedition team and began to monitor the various signals sent back by the forward reconnaissance fleet and unmanned detectors.
Intelligence for a more detailed analysis.
Naturally, they had already seen the earth and the ocean hanging in the huge silver ring. Of course, maybe it was because the Imperial Army soldiers had been shocked just now, or maybe it was because after all, there was such a strong and strong King Suliuka on the ship.
The unstoppable lord was in charge. They were shocked, but in the end it did not affect their work efficiency.
Soon, the preliminary analysis was reported to Brunhildt.
"Your Highness, we can confirm that the... ring we are seeing so far is not a completely regular ring, but an elliptical circle. The shortest distance from the star surface of this galaxy is 1.28 astronomical units.
178 million kilometers. The longest point is 1.35 astronomical units, which is 188 million kilometers."
In this era, an astronomical unit usually refers to the distance between the parent star and the sun of the system in which it is located. For a long time, the broad positioning power of "astronomical unit" was one of the reasons why the Empire and the Alliance were so confused.
One. Later, after the Galactic Civilization Council was established, the distance from Huaxu Star to the star where it was located was determined.
Brunhildt quickly realized that this was not exactly the standard solar range of a naturally habitable planet from a star?
"What about the quality?" Ostana asked.
"It is still being analyzed, but the general length can be determined, which is between 10.5 billion and 10.7 billion kilometers."
"How on earth is such a wonder created..." Many people gasped, trying to create new burdens on the Dawn Angel's ecological balancer.
If it is just a spectacle that you see with your eyes, the shock you feel is emotional after all. However, once data is involved, when these shocks are transformed from sensibility into rationality, you can better appreciate the greatness of this ring of the sun. Of course, it is also
We can better appreciate the greatness of the previous civilization generation.
"This is really an unimaginable power, a power like a myth." Brunhild sighed and said to himself: "One day, will our civilization also grow to such an extent? Really?
Can we use such great power to transform the entire universe?"
Both the Alliance and the Empire, at least in terms of propaganda, will always deepen the unclear relationship between humans and the Enlightened Ones, and they will always confidently tell the people and all civilized races that as long as they follow the footsteps of humans, this
Sooner or later the civilization of every generation will ascend to a higher realm.
Brunhildt certainly knew that this was a claim tactic. Just relying on ancient statues in some ruins does not constitute absolute evidence of the inheritance relationship between humans and the Enlightened Ones.
However, seeing this scene in front of her, even as tough and arrogant as she was, she couldn't help but start thinking about it.
The silver halo is like a platinum necklace hanging around the sun. And those green and blue, those continents and oceans hanging in space are like gems on the necklace.
This is such a fascinating wonder of the universe. However, if this wonder is built by one’s own hands, it will be even more fascinating, right?·
Miss Chief of Staff glanced at the lord who was deep in thought, continued to smile, and said in a non-yiny and yang-free way with a smooth stick pronunciation: "According to that person and that book, the universe has stopped."
King Suliuka's mood suddenly fell from the clouds of his dreams. He couldn't help but glance at the other party and said angrily: "Isn't "The Original Theory" already banned?"
"But haven't you seen it too?" Ostana said: "How else could you react so quickly?"
"Actually, there are a lot of pamphlets circulating on the black market, and we have read them all." Miss Nelhana, who is responsible for the common sense of the team, quickly opened her mouth to make up for it.
"A wise person should widely absorb all the latest trends of thought. I suggest that everyone read it. Even if they cannot accept it, they must learn how to live in it. I can understand the reason why the Ministry of Truth bans it, but I cannot accept it."
Gia Firdau, who serves as the conscience of the team.
"So Gilly, do you suggest that I clean up the Ministry of Truth through the Privy Council?" Brünnhilt said angrily.
Giafel said: "I thought that it could at least be used as an internal publication and would not be banned entirely."
"I think this will be a good opportunity." Ostana said.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she shrugged and smiled, with a sly look in her red eyes: "Your Highness has just entered the Privy Council. Isn't this a good opportunity to establish his authority? Anyway, among the institutions under the direct control of the Privy Council, the Ministry of Truth is the only one.
It's the most annoying thing. Even if it is dealt with, not many people will object."
"...Okay, girls, I know everyone is a little shaken by the shock of that giant structure in front of you, but can you go off topic without restraint in front of me!"
To put it bluntly, Brunhild himself felt that this proposal seemed to be quite good, but now is not the time to consider such a thing. In short, this episode passed like this and did not evolve into King Suliuka.
and her besties, the Knights, in an all-out attack on the Imperial Ministry of Truth and the censorship model.
At this time, another officer came over to report that the most advanced unmanned deep space detector had circled the entire ring at sub-light speed, and could already ensure the number of "gems" on the "platinum necklace".
Already.
"All, well..."
"Let's name it the natural module for the time being." Ostana said.
"Understood! There are a total of 254,000 natural modules. Each module presents a very standard cube, with a total area of 24 million square kilometers."
"It's equivalent to one-third of the Tire continent." Giafiel said.
She was talking about the largest continent in Ruixing, the hometown of the empire. Of course, it was also the birthplace of the empire’s civilization. All the ancient civilizations in the history of the empire were born on that continent. After thousands of years of reproduction, development, collision and
Through fusion, the current Holy Galactic Empire was born.
But now, in this galaxy, on this huge ring-shaped building that surrounds the entire sun, are there nearly 100,000 cradles of the Tirello civilization?
Brunhilt once again felt the unprecedented shock of being an enlightened person. She wanted to rub her temples, but she held it back with her strong will and asked expressionlessly: "Can you confirm whether there are any living things?
?”
A few seconds later, someone reported again: "When approaching 10,000 meters above those natural modules, I felt obvious obstacles and electromagnetic interference, and I was unable to move forward."
"Maybe there is a shield? And it is a shield that our detection equipment cannot detect?" Nerhana said.
"So, it cannot be ruled out that those continents and oceans are real. Maybe they are just projection images." Ostana said seriously.
Nelhana glanced at the other party helplessly.
This possibility cannot be ruled out now, but normal people would not, or would rather not, think in that direction. In space, there are more than 200,000 pieces of land covering an area of 24 million square kilometers, which would be a miracle. If
There are more than 200,000 big screens hanging... Well, this is actually a miracle, but it always feels like the style has dropped a lot.
"However, if the land on those natural modules is real. This ring alone can provide more than enough living space for one trillion people. Perhaps this is the biggest treasure in this star field, more than what we have discovered so far.
Those few Gaias and a dozen naturally habitable planets add up to precious treasures. Is this the biggest trump card of the predators?" Giafel pondered.
"Hahaha, indeed, if our attack on the Devil's Labyrinth fails. Here alone, the plunderers will be able to increase the population a thousand times in two hundred years. It is hard for me to imagine that by that time, our great
What kind of nightmare will human civilization face? Such a great ancient creation should indeed be in the hands of the empire, which is the responsible behavior for the entire universe." Ostana said: "Your Highness, congratulations! This is indeed true.
A discovery that can make the crown of the elected emperor shine even brighter!"
At this time, the dark red eyes of Ms. Chief of Staff also shone brightly. If her eyes were like sleeping "lava" under normal conditions, they were now about to become "active volcanoes".
Brünnhilt shuddered, feeling that this guy was about to ask himself "when will he ascend the throne?"
All in all, if we follow the rules that have been passed down since the Age of Discovery, whoever discovers the galaxy will have priority to develop and colonize it. Of course, after the establishment of the Galactic Civilization Council, there is finally written international public law. It clearly stipulates that discovery
The country or company represented by the applicant has ten years of priority development rights. If it can complete the construction of specified colonization or permanent facilities during this period, it will automatically become its territory.
If it is a galaxy that has no development or immigration value at all, or if the development rights keep changing hands due to various political and commercial changes and have never been developed, it becomes the so-called "high seas".
Of course, for the empire, there is no problem of the development rights changing hands here. As long as all the big guys in the Privy Council and the Prime Minister's Office are not under the spell, they will definitely try their best to develop it.
"Your Highness, the predators should regard this place as the core of their rule. If the Great Khan Tomitelli is still alive, he should be hiding here. Let the Blizzard prepare to organize the landing." Ostana said.
"Tell them that backup will arrive soon. No matter what the situation is above, as long as they can observe it closely, they will know it." Giafel added, and then said to Brunhild:
"If there are unrecognizable shields on those natural modules, you can try to use a force landing method. Of course, the safest way is to dock the ship at the edge of the silver ring and then move forward on foot. Your Highness, I apply to allow the subordinates to
I will take command of the 14th Grenadier Regiment and the 121st Scientific Reconnaissance Unit as the second batch to land."
Under such circumstances, most of the generals who were born into imperial aristocrats were very keen to let cannon fodder troops composed of slaves and criminals go up to explore the way. They firmly believed that no matter how advanced the reconnaissance robot was, it was not as reliable as physical reconnaissance.
However, Brünnhilt and her sisters were never willing to do this. They always took the first step in anything, and there were not even slave cannon fodder in the fleet.
"Understood. Let the hangars of each battleship begin preparations." Brynhilt looked at his chief friend, but said: "I will land in person!"
Before the generals and sisters were about to object, she said again: "Okay, it's settled. Such a sacred creation will be a creation of the empire from now on. You will not be prepared to choose the emperor with dignity.
Let’s seize the honor of being the first to land, right?”
Now that Brünnhilt has reached this point, everyone can only accept the order except sighing in their hearts.
But at this time, before the main force of the fleet could advance, the forward reconnaissance fleet that had already approached the "ring" sent an emergency communication, saying that another spaceship was approaching them. Now, the reconnaissance fleet has changed from a reconnaissance formation to a
Defensive formation, ready for battle.
"Other spacecraft? Is it the Predator?" the communications officer on the Dawn Angel asked.
"...It would be great if it was." Commodore Soback on the Buran had a complicated face.
"ah?"
"It's a friendly warship. There are four destroyers in total, and they are the 16th Patrol Squadron affiliated with the Blue Star Community Expeditionary Command. The temporary commander is Lieutenant Colonel Horatio Venn." Soback said "friendly" forcefully
The pronunciation of the two words is emphasized: "The other side told us that they had arrived at this galaxy twenty-four hours ago. They are now conducting a preliminary inspection of the ring. I hope we will not disturb you for the time being."
The communications officer didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, when a giant dragon saw a rat grinning at him to show that the road was blocked, he probably didn't know what expression to show.
"They asked to speak directly to our commander." Soback said with a strange expression.
Heh, how could a mere lieutenant colonel have a direct conversation with the elected emperor? Do the people on earth think that he has a big face? The communications officer sneered, and just as he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, Brunhildt's voice sounded behind him.
"Sir Sobaek, please connect the communication." She said.
Well, a lieutenant colonel is a lieutenant colonel. Speaking of which, when His Highness had an affair with the "God's Chosen Champion" opposite, he was only a lieutenant colonel. The communications officer's mind was spinning with these things that he would never dare to discuss on the Angel of Dawn.
Bagua, operated the terminal with quick hands and feet. Immediately afterwards, a light screen popped up, revealing a burly and muscular young officer with a handsome and heroic appearance and red hair.
"It is indeed Lieutenant Colonel Horatio Venn. In this expedition to the New World, he is the destroyer captain who has made the most merits on the Earth. He is probably promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the line of fire." Ostana Barr lowered her voice and said: "
In addition, he is that person’s classmate and friend.”
This "Lava Sword" is truly a walking encyclopedia of characters.
Brunhild glanced at the chief of staff out of the corner of his eye. However, your last words were so redundant.
At this time, Horatio Venn on the other side had already made a meticulous ninety-degree bow: "Greetings to you, Your Highness. I never expected that I would meet you by chance in this galaxy that no one has ever discovered. It is really an honor for me.
"
Brünnhilt smiled and saluted back: "Lieutenant Colonel Venn, I know you are a straightforward person, so let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
"As you wish, Your Highness." Wayne said loudly: "Our fleet has arrived in this system at 05:12 standard time on January 17th. There is a logbook to prove it. According to the "Galactic Exploration Convention"
, the government of the Blue Star Community represented by the following has all the priority exploration rights of all stars, planets, asteroids, satellites and unknown creations in this galaxy. Can you please keep all your warships and unmanned probes with the 'Ring'?
A safe distance of at least one astronomical unit?”
