Volume 3 Chapter 20 Time is running out
In the universe, there are also differences in the size of the voids between galaxies. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSome galaxies will be closer together, forming a cluster of galaxies. And some of them will be very far away.
Somewhere in the void more than six million light-years away from the galaxy cluster where Zhuang Bifan's fleet was located, a small space battleship more than three hundred meters long hibernated in the darkness.
The black battleship, shaped like a cigar, sailed silently through the space. However, the interior of the battleship was brightly lit, and more than a dozen personnel in black military uniforms were busy on the operation desk. It's just that they rarely speak.
They are constantly analyzing any suspicious light waves in the background of the universe and retrieving the information they need from them.
An operator in front of the console suddenly said loudly: "The coordinates [XXX, XXX, XXX] have found a suspected migration energy field fluctuation pattern, which is about 6.33 light-years away. The beam wave velocity is 363, and the energy level intensity is about 463. ”
At this time, on the new earth, Zhuang Bifan was carrying Sima Yun to "supervise the work" on the homestead they had chosen. The two were talking about what material to use to decorate the walls.
Zhuang Bifan held a one-foot-square white stone chip and said, "This is a bit like white marble, the hardness is higher, and the color is also good." What do you think? ”
Sima Yun took it and looked at it for a while and said: "But this material seems to be too small, you see that this piece of such a small material has some black lines, which obviously had cracks in the original, and was later resealed after being invaded by impurities." The crack is small, though. But in the end, it doesn't fit the whole. ”
Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "This kind of stone is indeed prone to cracks. Because this comes from the subduction zone of the earth's crust, the pressure received is very high. ”
"Is this material still famous?" Sima Yun took the material with both hands and looked at it carefully for a while, she looked at the slate at the "sun" in the sky for a while, and said. "Not to mention, this slate is a little transparent. Could it be jade? ”
"It's coarse jadeite."
"Jadeite? Similar to jadeite? ”
Zhuang Bifan said with a smile: "The jade thing, in the strict sense, is only available in Myanmar on the earth. ”
In fact, there are also jadeite in Russia and the United States on the earth, but the texture is not very good, but in fact, the origin and raw materials are similar, but it cannot be called jadeite. It's as if all white jade can be called mutton fat jade. Of course, it's the same as an advertising slogan: not every drop of Tex Su is milk...... Uh, I'm mistaken. It should be: Not every drop of milk (in the box) is special X Su - in short, every time he sees that advertisement, his first reaction to the advertising slogan is what it means.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "However, in the No. 16 earthquake zone, several large-scale jadeite mines have been discovered, and the fineness of the best material is no better than that of jadeite. A number of diamond and ruby sapphire mines have also been discovered. There are primary ores and secondary ores. ”
Women have a natural interest in things as shiny as gemstones. But Sima Yun didn't care much about that kind of thing, because in the Black Flame Space, there were a large number of gems produced. At first, she was very excited and collected a lot of gemstones. But when I saw too much, I became numb. Later, she even forgot to bring the materials she collected.
At this time, she listened to what Zhuang Bifan said, but she just said "oh", and there was no special reaction.
Seeing her lack of interest, Zhuang Bifan was also a little helpless. I've seen a lot of good things, and I really can't get excited when I see them again. But who made her have a lot of jewelry on her hands, and they are all very good things.
He was about to continue, when he heard footsteps rushing towards them. He looked back to see an android soldier trotting over with a holographic tablet.
He frowned, and turned to look at the soldier.
The soldier stood in front of him about two meters and gave a military salute, handed out Pingbai with both hands, and said, "Marshal, an urgent communication from the Yanhuang." ”
Zhuang Bifan took the tablet, and after clicking on it, Koster's bust appeared above Ping Bai. This is a video newsletter from Koster.
After he finished reading it, his brows relaxed, but he immediately tightened again, and turned his head to look at Sima Yun.
Sima Yun also watched the video next to him, and before he could speak, he said, "It's important to get down to business." You go busy with yours. I'll just look at it here. ”
A hint of apology flashed on Zhuang Bifan's face and said, "Then I'll leave first." "Originally, he said that he was going to play with her in the neighborhood today. But now that the military situation is urgent, he must deal with it personally.
Sima Yun is not a woman who doesn't know anything. She stepped forward to help him straighten his clothes and said with a smile, "You have to be careful." If you can't do it, safety comes first. Actually, I think the Wandering Universe is also very good. ”
From the new earth to the mothership in space, and then to the Yanhuang, it took only more than 20 minutes. As soon as he returned to the Yanhuang, he went to the main control room, where Coster was already waiting for him.
"What's going on?" The communication sent by Koster just now only mentions the discovery of a migration energy field that appears to be a large fleet.
Koster said to Zhuang Bifan, who had a solemn face: "The No. 01433 reconnaissance ship has detected a suspected large-scale fleet jump. He pressed a few times on the adjutant's console, and a star map appeared on the big screen, on which the galaxies of the local galaxy cluster were just light and shadow, and there was a red dot flashing outside the galaxy cluster.
Koster waited for the screen to appear before continuing: "According to the report sent back by the reconnaissance ship 01433. At the location of the red dot, there is a multi-superposition energy field, the number of superposition of the energy field is 8, and the overlapping time difference is 0.8441. The total energy level of the energy field is 4312. The rate of the light wave is 463. An energy field reaction with such characteristics can only be a product of civilization. And it takes at least a seventh-level civilization to create such an energy field. ”
Zhuang Bifan is also very familiar with the civilization level mark given by Hei Yan. Multiple superimposed energy fields are a technique that can only be mastered by civilizations above the sixth-level peak. But if the number of stacks is more than five times, and the overlapping time difference is less than one, it is already a seventh-level civilization. Not to mention that the energy field that appears has a light wave rate of more than 400.
And the one that can turn on such an energy field will definitely not be a small warship. If it is a small warship, it is an eighth-level civilization, and it is impossible to do this. It is the Taishan-class, which represents the highest technology of the main battleship of Hehei Yan, and it can only produce an energy field that can be superimposed six times, with a total energy level of no more than three hundred.
If the other party is a level 7 civilization, it also means that the other party has a giant mothership. Because ordinary warships simply cannot be equipped with an energy loop system that forms such a superimposed energy field.
One of the characteristics of the seventh-level civilization is that it can carry out ultra-high-speed and ultra-long-distance migration, and can effectively colonize adjacent star systems. Level 6 civilizations certainly have the ability to colonize neighboring systems. However, because of transportation and communication problems, it was easy to sort out between the mainland and the colonies, and eventually parted ways because of conflicting interests. That's why Level 6 civilizations usually don't colonize alien systems as long as their systems are not fully developed.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How much is the time difference?" ”
"The field is about 6.4 light-years away from the 01433 reconnaissance ship, and the time difference is equivalent to more than four days. The 01433 reconnaissance boat emitted a wave of light, revealing a fleet of at least 200,000 warships, including at least four giant motherships, in the vicinity of the energy field. ”
Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Let the nearby reconnaissance ships be careful to approach and monitor." "Since the light wave was launched, the other party must have known that he was discovered. They could move again at any time. However, the energy needed for the leap also needs to be saved. He still has some time to prepare. Six light years away, the reconnaissance ship will definitely have to make a leap to get close to the other party, but when it moves out, the other party will definitely find the specific coordinates of the detection ship. It can be said that his order was actually to send the No. 01433 reconnaissance ship to death.
But if he wants to know the exact coordinates of the other party, he can only send a reconnaissance ship to the vicinity to detect, otherwise the time difference is too great, and the reconnaissance ship will detect the position of the other party, but in the past tense, the position is not accurate, and he has no way to directly replace the fleet to the most suitable position.
Zhuang Bifan paused for a moment, and then said: "Order all fleets to gather some combat ships in case of contingency." The First Fleet prepares a task force of thirty motherships. Notify me as soon as it's ready. ”
Coster understood that he was going to go out in person, and hurriedly persuaded: "Wang, the depth of the other party's strength is not clear. I suggest that I lead the fleet to meet the enemy. "The other side has a large mothership, and there is still a danger of such a battle. And the battleships of the fleet only recognize Zhuang Bifan. Once he dies, the fleet will fall into the hands of the sole heir, Sima Yun. And Sima Yun was not a qualified military commander.
Zhuang Bifan shook his head and said, "I always have to face war. I have experienced too little actual combat, and I need to accumulate experience in commanding large-scale fleet operations. ”
The reality that Zhuang Bifan must face is that he has a very powerful fleet under his command. But until he truly fused his men into a single civilization, they were all just a wandering fleet.
In the universe, any commander of the Wandering Fleet has to face a real war, but the ability to command in actual combat is an indispensable quality of a military commander, otherwise he will not be able to make his subordinates truly return to their hearts.
And the strength of the enemy who came now is not too strong, and in the case of mental calculation or unintentionality, the risk is not too high. This is the perfect way to train him in actual combat. Moreover, he has been preparing for this for a long time. As long as there are no more super-sized fleets appearing. This amount of fleet, for him, is just a delivery of food.
Koster also wanted to understand this, and no longer persuaded him.
He said: "Rest assured, king, if the enemy does not have a follow-up fleet this time. That would prove that this fleet is the closest to us as a large fleet. Even if the other party can send a communication back. In the absence of the strength of our army, they will certainly not dare to send a fleet easily. Even if they come, they will gather a larger fleet and act in unison. As long as this fleet is annihilated, we will have more time to develop. ”
Zhuang Bifan knew that there was a problem with his mentality recently, not only Sima Yun noticed it, but Coster also noticed it. But now that he had talked to Sima Yun, he had also let go of some things in his heart, and he smiled and said, "I hope so!" Go get busy! ”
He certainly hoped that Koster would say yes. But if it's really the Reaper fleet that comes. He didn't think the fleet would come without contact with the other accomplices.
The first batch appeared, and the follow-ones may follow. He can only see one step at a time now.
