Chapter 121: Let the pirates fight
The order of Emperor Skruul VII was the supreme directive for the Skrul Empire. Speaking is the authority of an emperor. Especially when this emperor still has high prestige and the means of power, then his power will become greater.
In less than twelve earth hours after Emperor Skuru VII's order was delivered, the territory covered most of the fairy system, the number of directly habitable colonial planets exceeded 1,000, hundreds of thousands of high-level resource planets, and countless low-level resource planets The military high-ranking military of the Skuru Empire came from all directions.
Rush to the royal city of the Skru Empire, the alpha star of the fairy system. This planet, about 1.5 times larger than Earth, is home to about 40,000 Skrulls.
Aside from some industrial planets, it is considered to be the most densely populated planet of Skrull.
Emperor Skuru VII received generals and feudal officials from different star fields in his palace. He needs to discuss plans and possibilities for war against the galaxy.
"The third cantilever of the galaxy, the place called Earth, is 2.2 million light-years away from us?"
"War on the galaxy is not a very good move, as the Nova Legion's headquarters is right on the fourth cantilever of the galaxy. It is impossible for our army to escape the surveillance of the Nova Legion if it is dispatched in a big way. They're too nosy. ”
Yudar frowned, and said with a green Skuru face, "And because of the Nova Legion. We don't have any stargates in the direction of the Milky Way. If we use Titan-class warships to make a cosmic jump, maybe hundreds of years will have passed by the time we reach Earth. ”
Emperor Skuru VII crossed his ten fingers: "Then what about sending an advance team? Leap in units of a hundred assault ships, when will our army be able to reach Earth at the earliest?"
"If it is an assault ship with speed as its specialty, it will only take about three years for a hundred assault ships to jump together, and it will only take three years to be able to travel to Earth lightly. Yudal thought for a moment.
Interstellar jumps are not just a matter of driving a car, just give the gas pedal and go. This needs to be considered in many ways, including the interference effect caused by the mutual pull between the transition channels opened up during the transition.
The more massive the spacecraft, the greater the interference effect and the wider the range of interference. Short jumps may make no difference, such as the distance from Earth to Pluto, because a distance that is too short will not feel much.
But when the transition distance exceeds a certain length, the interference effect comes into play. It can cause the direction of the jump to deviate dramatically, and you may sail to a completely unfamiliar star field and get lost.
In the worst-case scenario, you can even jump directly into the interior of a star or even cause a star to explode, in which case a starfleet would lose a lot of money.
So the larger the fleet, the more calculations are required to make an interstellar jump. In Starfleet, the control of warships is highly automated, and there are very few places to actually rely on human power.
One of the most important things that really needs people to deal with complex situations is to consider the distractions of jumps.
The commander-in-chief of the fleet needs the staff officers and technical officers below to constantly coordinate the data and arrange the transition of the entire fleet. Avoid all potentially dangerous routes.
Just as sailing ships in the Age of Discovery needed to avoid reefs that could appear beneath the surface. The seemingly calm universe is actually not safe.
The ubiquity of cosmic rays in the universe is a test for Starfleet. The region where the Earth is located is a very calm area, and only this area of the cosmic tide is gentle where life can be born.
And those areas with strong cosmic rays and huge cosmic tides are like tsunamis or reefs in the ocean. It can make all Starfleets fall into the sand.
The energy emitted by cosmic rays is enough to kill any creature that is not prepared for protection. And the gravitational pull of the terrible cosmic tides can easily tear the entire solar system, and even galaxies ten times larger than the solar system, into pieces.
Even an interstellar jump can't pass through this place, and walking from here is a gamble. Because of the Nova Legion, the Skrulls have a subtle attitude towards the galaxy. They didn't really want to touch the Nova Legion's own land.
The exploration of the Milky Way has not been carried out very smoothly. It's like the Age of Discovery, which needed ships to explore new routes.
The exploration of the cosmic star field is also a dangerous task, and the distress message received by Emperor Skruul VII came from an exploration ship that went out to explore the third cantilever of the galaxy more than twenty years ago.
They are explorers and scientists who map the universe for the Empire. Just like the navigators who surveyed and mapped the charts during the Age of Discovery, they were an important asset of the country. They map the stars and look for planets to settle down on and colonize. At the same time, they are also looking for any possible resource planet.
Without these people, the Skrull Empire would be like a blind man in the dark universe. In the mighty space fleet, the cosmic tide has no possibility of resisting. It's like a sandcastle built on the beach can't withstand a tsunami.
So when Yudar said that it would be possible to send a fleet of assault ships to Earth in three years' time, Emperor Skuru VII began to wonder if it was worth it.
It is impossible to send a large fleet. In addition to teaching the earthlings a lesson, the Seventh Emperor also wanted to rescue the trapped Skrulls. Hundreds of years have passed, and Skrull, who is trapped on Earth, is afraid that he will die long ago.
Because judging from the information sent by the Skrulls asking for help, their lives are simply worse than death. They were controlled by the earthlings and forced to turn into a creature called the Ox.
And this creature is one of the main sources of meat for humans on Earth. Humans forced the Skruls, who turned into cattle, to reproduce and produce offspring. Then they were slaughtered and slaughtered for meat to eat.
In any case, Emperor Skuru VII could not tolerate such a thing.
"Can a hundred assault ships and set off lightly be able to wipe out the earthlings? Judging from the information, the earthlings have begun to move towards a cosmic civilization. And also mastered thermonuclear weapons, although only in the first stage of use, but can already be lethal to our light assault ships. Emperor Skuru VII knocked on the table.
Yudar continued to say with his dead face on his face, "If our purpose is only to rescue the people and teach the earthlings a lesson, then it is enough. But the total eradication of one race may not be enough. Because moving light means that we can't carry weapons of mass destruction. ”
"You can't destroy a planet with laser cannons and electromagnetic weapons alone. In particular, the combat effectiveness of laser cannons is greatly reduced after entering the atmosphere. We may need to change our minds, Your Majesty. Run to the galaxy and destroy a civilization planet under their jurisdiction under the nose of the Nova Legion, even if it's just the early cosmic civilization form. This has a good chance of them off. Is it worth it for us to do this?" Yudal tactfully reminded the Seventh Emperor.
Emperor Skruul VII didn't look at Yudal, he was just fiddling with his jewel scepter and said in a cold tone: "On that shipwrecked ship is my own nephew, Prince Julian of Skrull. He ventured in the universe for the continuation of our civilization. It was even eaten as beef. What do you think should be done?, Supreme Commander of my Outer Defense Legion?!"
Yudar shut up. Now everyone knows the determination of Emperor Skuru VII. The earthlings must be destroyed, he needs the destruction of the earth to bury his nephew, and the killing of the prince of Skrull on the earth is an extremely serious matter in itself.
From all angles, the burial of the entire Earth civilization is a matter of course for the Skrulls, and some generals even think that the destruction of just the initial cosmic civilization is not enough to offset the hatred in it. The Nova Legion should even be pulled in, at least to make them apologize.
Much has been said, but there is a real problem for the Skrulls. That is how to destroy the civilization of the earth? It takes hundreds of years to send a fleet over or build a stargate, it will take too much time. It will even give the earthlings a long time to increase their civilization strength.
Therefore, the most important thing is to take revenge quickly and ruthlessly.
Just as the generals of Skru were caught up in a discussion, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was sitting in the third position on the right hand side of Emperor Skruul VII, spoke: "Why do we have to personally send troops to Earth?
His words attracted the attention of the others, and everyone looked at him.
The Commander of the Praetorian Guard continued: "I know that there is a swarm of locusts roaming at the edge of the galaxy, they are pirates, they are murderers. Survive by destroying and seizing the resources of other weak civilizations. We can hire them and let them do it for us!"
Emperor Skuru VII nodded slowly, and at the same time asked, "What are the names of this group of people?"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard replied respectfully: "Zetarians!"
