In June 833 of the common calendar, in the Black Labor Sector of the Empire, slave workers began to secretly build their own spaceship in the ice crystal asteroid belt of the 12th galaxy in the cold world.
They collected ice and fragments of asteroids as hulls, equipped with warp engines assembled from parts found in garbage dumps and abandoned factories. Their ships were greener and cruder than the small privateer raiders of the Reavers.
, but this is indeed their cosmic ark.
As long as it can be established in theory, it can of course be put into action. Tan Jize did not do much work in the 12 galaxies of the cold world, but he only made everyone believe this.
Slave workers from all over the world spent two months building twelve ice spaceships. All of them are of the standard of small passenger and cargo ships. On the one hand, it is for confidentiality, and the target will be much smaller when operating. In addition,
On the one hand, with the available parts that the slave workers currently have in stock, they can only go so far.
More importantly, whether the ice-made spacecraft can be successful actually still needs to be tested.
If successful, the Empire's rule in the Heeros Sector will be torn apart. The people who pursue freedom and dignity will have a path of hope. Even if they need to cross the star sea, even if they have a narrow escape, hope will only be there as long as they are there.
, there is always a way out.
However, if it doesn't succeed...
"If we don't succeed, we will never come back." Tan Jize told everyone: "When we are ready to resist, when we are ready to risk our lives, when we are ready to die, we are already on the road to victory.
.”
This may seem a bit high-sounding, but it speaks to the hearts of these people. Since they dare to take the risk to escape on an ice boat, of course they are not afraid of death.
Those who are willing to embark on this adventurous journey may believe that the oppression of the empire is far higher than death.
2,000 of the bravest volunteers boarded the spaceship they built themselves. Of course, among them was the mastermind of all this, a visitor from Earth named Tan Jize.
Of course, there are still many people who object. The volunteers believe that this is their own business. Whether they succeed or die in the nebula, it is all determined by fate. There is no reason to involve other people.
My husband brought them hope, and that was enough. I didn't have to take risks with everyone.
As for the Sumi warrior who sent Tan Jize to the Cold World Galaxy, he cried and begged. He was a member of the Sumi Liberation Organization. He cried and said that he was the one who brought Mr. Tan Jize to the Heeros Galaxy.
If something really happened to my husband, I would not be qualified to continue living.
In short, the subsequent development of things was indeed very dramatic, but Tan Jize still took Miss Chunjun on Ice Ship 1. His attitude was still very firm: he was the one who incited everyone, and telling everyone that they could build an ice ship was
You are the one who brought the star map to everyone. Why would you continue to hide in a safe place like this?
On August 20, 833 in the Common Calendar, just as the Ten Battles of the Far Coast Fleet had just begun, and the entire universe's attention was attracted by the burning Cuiling Fortress and the Fuxi, these twelve ice spaceships
Also embarked on a journey.
They will secretly sail to the Iron Prison Fortress on the edge of the sector - it was once an important military point of the empire and the home port of several high-speed cruise fleets. It was mainly used to deal with pirates and smugglers infiltrating from the Abyss Nebula.
Of course, after the war began, these elite patrol fleets with rich experience in peek-a-boo and anti-hide-and-seek were transferred away, and it was said that they were sent to the New World.
As for the fleet originally used for defense, it is said that it was transferred from the mainland and did not look very professional. It even collided with friendly forces when changing defense.
The iceship fleet seized this gap and successfully entered the vast abyss nebula. At this time, this arduous but legendary expedition officially began.
Tan Jize had in his hand a secret star map obtained from a smuggler, which was given to him by Captain Hanford of the Ten Thousand Years Eagle.
However, we actually have to make dialectical judgments. The reason why this kind of star map has become a secret exclusive to outlaws is not because the Standard Shipping Association or governments of various countries are doing nothing, but because it is unnecessary.
Harsh astrological conditions, dotted routes that sometimes work but not work, unknown deadly cosmic radiation, and the strutting interstellar Leviathan will all become obstacles to normal traffic. Even military traffic is only an extreme choice under abnormal conditions.
In the Abyss Nebula, there are also pirates, cultists, privateers, and even slave ships operating.
Of course, there are also unknown cosmic Leviathans lingering in this galaxy. Some of these magical cosmic animals walk calmly in the cosmic space, like elves of the galaxy; but some are very violent and dangerous. It is true.
Will treat all passing UFOs, especially man-made objects, as delicious food.
Even the merchant fleet of the Toss Merchant Group, which occasionally appears in Nebula to do some grudge work, must have been accompanied by various escorts.
In Yu Lian's view, the great expedition launched by these small ice ships is certainly not as popular as the mighty Million Light Years Expedition launched by the Great Khan Tomiteli. However,
In terms of the difficulties and dangers that need to be overcome, they definitely far exceed the latter.
However, this miraculous expedition spanning 10,000 light-years ended with a victory that everyone loved to see.
At that time, when the time came on February 4, 834 in the common calendar, Tan Jize and the volunteers who pursued freedom finally left the Abyss Nebula in an iceship fleet and entered the stable range of the prime-life star group.
Twelve ice ships originally set out, but now there are only eight left. Fortunately, everyone has made various rescue plans before setting off, and will try their best not to abandon or give up in the event of an accident, so as to survive.
The number of visitors has also remained above 1,800.
For such an arduous and dangerous voyage, only 10% of the crew was reduced, which is already a miracle. Yu Lian can be sure that the Great Khan's original two-million-light-year expedition, even if he held in his hands what he had obtained from the Enlightened One,
With the star map, tens of millions of soldiers and civilians and a well-trained fleet cooperating and supporting each other, the non-combat attrition must have exceeded 10%.
That year, according to Tan Jize, they did encounter pirates in the Abyss Nebula, but they relied on their own dignity to get through it.
"Face?"
"I do have quite a bit of face in the black world now. Probably because last April, when Jackass hung the flag for a meeting, I had a lot of fun chatting and laughing with many big guys in the world." He said with a smile.
.
"I do remember that the people who met you at the time were probably rebel leaders from all walks of life, right?"
"Yes, the first priority of the meeting is to unite the various rebel organizations in the empire. Of course, it is unrealistic to expect these rebels from various races and sectors to obey the absolute leadership of the same leader.
At present, no such unparalleled hero has been born in the rebel army. However, through this meeting, if they can keep in touch with each other, share information, communicate with each other, and cooperate in fighting, then their hard work will be in vain." Tan Jize said.
Facts have proved that this work was done very well. All the rebels felt that they had received many benefits.
"So, what you call the second priority is to let all the extrajudicial personnel communicate with the rebel leaders?" Yu Lian suddenly understood.
"The rebel leaders need arms, medicines and even zero elements delivered from the outside world, while the smugglers only hope to have as many potential customers as possible. Of course, I don't have that much face myself, so in the end it is Mr. Sea Monster and Mr.
Captain Ford’s connections, and by the way, I also borrowed some of your power. So, among the people who came to the meeting, there were also many powerful people in the underworld,”
"My tiger power?"
"Your reputation has been spreading in the Abyss Nebula, even if you don't know it yourself. I think this is probably because during the previous Judgment War, you performed in front of all the black (meow) chiefs in the Abyss Nebula.
The record of single-player defeating a dreadnought. Heroic myths are always the easiest to spread, and even easier to spread in the world of the underworld."
Yu Lian couldn't help but think for a moment, and then dug out a little bit of memory from a certain groove in the cerebral cortex.
Isn't this what happened when he and Feifei escaped from Brunhild? He still remembered that he abducted a star dragon from Brunhild's ship and dumped Ji
Yafel and the others' pursuit went all the way to the Abyss Nebula.
While eating hot pot and singing songs, I encountered the Marauder's Scarlet Throne on the road. At that time, this dreadnought had been beaten to pieces by the Imperial fleet and was in constant panic, so it was just the right place to pick up heads.
Not knowing that those who seize the opportunity will definitely be punished by the spirit of the universe. So Yu Lian simply did not stop and took Feifei and others to rob the ship.
Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the star dragon Zephyrus abducted from Brunhilt, the ship-stealing operation would not have been successful. I don't know how he is doing now, having been released.
He will be healthy in the future. I hope he will return to the dragon group safely and not be preyed upon by the giant Leviathan bird passing by.
"I wasn't working alone at the beginning, and there were no other people watching," Yu Liandao said.
"Of course I believe you. But all the big guys in the Abyss Nebula are announcing that they were present at that time. Some even said that they gave you a little help and then formed a relationship with you.
Deep friendship. Unfortunately, most people in the Abyss Nebula believe them."
"In other words, I suddenly gained a lot of old friends?" Yu Lian spread his hands.
Tan Jize also showed his hands: "Even King Gong Ao, the number one pirate king in the universe, can become your nephew, let alone others?"
Yu Lian suddenly felt that what he said was quite reasonable.
In short, by February 6th, the ice fleet arrived safely in the Sanqi Star Territory and received supplies here. By this time, the ice fleet was considered completely safe.
This is a star area sandwiched in the middle by the Abyss Nebula, the Cirke Kingdom, the Republic of Minlan, and the Principality of Hyal. From the transportation location, this star area can be regarded as a commercial transportation and strategic location, but because it almost does not exist
It is a naturally habitable planet. In the early days of the interstellar voyage, there were no immigrants, and there was no inherent territory from ancient times.
Because of this historical origin, and because of the strategic balance between nearby countries, this Sanchi Star Territory has truly become a no-nonsense zone.
Until the establishment of the Galactic Civilization Council, some space pioneers began to build space cities here, transform the earth-like planets, and formed several autonomous domains. Internal autonomy, sovereignty was entrusted to some major powers. As long as they paid some management fees and military every year
The right of passage is equivalent to finding a powerful country to provide independent protection for oneself.
This is actually the current state of peace in most autonomous territories throughout the universe.
As for Tan Jize and his followers, they are already ready to enter the Tosva Autonomous Territory.
"The sovereignty of this autonomous territory belongs to the Toss Merchant Group. There are three space cities under expansion, and an Earth-like planet is undergoing corrections and needs workers. They have approved my entry and even provided identity certificates to the slave workers.
Tan Jize said.
In fact, contrary to what many people imagine, all countries are happy to accept these runaway slaves.
Anyway, the household registration information of most imperial slave workers is in a mess. Especially in remote sectors like Helots, most people have never appeared in the household registration database of the Prime Minister's Office from birth to death.
On the contrary, if it is a noble or a bureaucrat who has failed in the struggle and is forced to go into exile, the Dominion side will think twice and hesitate.
As for you, the Blue Star Community, which originally took Mr. He Wen in and was used by the empire as an excuse to start a war, must have a strong say in this area.
But no matter what, a group of escaped natural cows and horses had an advantage over the noble men with proven bloodlines when they fled. This can only be said to be a trick of fate.
"After entering the country, if they want to go to the Alliance, they can also find a way in the Dominion." Tan Jize added: "However, most of them are still planning to stay in the local area and have already discussed getting one on the transformed planet.
Pioneer farms and so on. There are also some people who are preparing to build a formal smuggling ship and look for opportunities to return to the helots."
"If they can make a round trip safely, wouldn't this become a stable route?" Yu Lian said casually.
Well, the word "walking the line" is really disrespectful to the people who resisted the tyranny of the empire. Yu Lian quickly apologized silently in his heart. But for a while, he couldn't find a more appropriate adjective.
Already.
Tan Jize agreed with this statement: "Indeed, once this wiring channel is established, it can become a long-term bleeding point for the empire. However, I don't think this will last for too long. The empire is not a fool. In other words, the efficiency of their actions
Their mobilization capabilities are unreasonably high, far exceeding the limits of such a large universal empire. They will definitely fix this loophole in two years at most. Unless..."
"unless?"
"Unless the Galactic Empire falls into a long period of turmoil and loses direct control over the Helots and other frontier star fields." Tan Jize said.
Yu Lian didn't hold out much hope. He thought of a certain world line that was created in the dream world. On that world line, the border star areas including the Helots were really restricted, but after he slowly
After getting over it, he still had to obey Tianyu's orders honestly, and he was even more obedient than before.
"In any case, you have finally completed the miraculous expedition. Congratulations, Lao Tan. Even if you retire now, you will definitely leave your name in the history books."
"When I was studying at Shire University, my biggest hope was that I could one day promote the legal construction of the community. I really didn't dare to hope for anything in the history books." Tan Jize said: "Sometimes, people can create
What achievements do not lie in oneself, but in who one works side by side with."
Yu Lian was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said quickly: "However, compared to your achievements that will go down in history, I am even more relieved to see that you are still alive and healthy."
In fact, Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he received Tan Jize's call.
In the timeline of his previous life, Lao Tan was indeed one of the protagonists of a stormy era. Such a heroic figure who should leave a place in the history books should not perish in some dark corner of the universe.
of.
However, the materialism of the world's will will be reflected in many aspects. The protagonist of the previous timeline will also die in this timeline because of a small accident.
Regarding this point, a large number of "protagonists" who died at the hands of someone are very sufficient arguments.
Tan Jize could feel Yu Lian's rejoicing, and there was a touching smile in his eyebrows: "Perhaps I am alive because your power can interfere with cause and effect, right? So you gave me such good luck."
This flattery was a bit otherworldly, and Yu Lian really found it useful.
At this time, Tan Jize said again: "However, when I was supplying supplies at Mori Space City in the Sanqi Galaxy, I occasionally got some news, which may be somewhat relevant to the current war situation."
