At present, the third-generation jump engine has not yet been popularized, but as the last stop of Taiya WH to Dijing, the W8 star field has begun to take shape as a shipping hub, and large space cities are being put into construction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

W8 itself is an M-shaped star field with rich mineral resources, and it is located in the main channel to Taiya WH, which is second only to Dijing in the UAC occupation area of the New Asian galaxy.

Although the number of ships coming and going in W8 is similar to that of TF1 in the Milky Way, the level of development here is much higher than that of TF1, and all Lagrange points are already occupied by large and small space cities, and the star fields where habitable planets are located are not far behind.

With the upcoming trend of the third-generation jump engine, several K-type star fields in W2 to W7 are estimated to be abandoned, and ships coming to Dijing from the Milky Way will basically dock directly at W8 for replenishment and declare to enter the Dijing star field.

In response to this trend, several of W8's original stars, planetary Lagrange, are currently being rebuilt. Originally, these space cities were also owned by the UAC, but because the government did not have much space for its own use, most of them were sold to consortia or large corporations as branches of the UAC occupation zone in New Asia.

It's just that now it's different, and W8, which is about to become a shipping hub, needs to recover a lot of space resources in these space cities and transform them into several space cities with professional purposes, including supply centers, business operation centers, port inspection centers, etc. And those consortia or corporate branches will be diverted to several other star fields around Dijing to form a Dijing business district.

At this time, W8 has begun to share the border inspection work of the port of the Dijing Star Domain, except for those ships with permits that can directly enter the Dijing Star Domain, other ships must be subject to access review here. Moreover, there will be a considerable number of ships that may not be able to apply for the access permit of the Dijing Star Domain, and can only use W8 as the last battle of the Dijing trip.

In the case of cargo vessels that are not subject to access, the cargo on board is transferred to local shipping companies with long-term rights of passage at W8. If it is a passenger spaceship, passengers transfer to the W8-Dijing interstellar flight here. In short, Admiral Goering's control over Dijing became increasingly strict.

Captain Morgan still has a certain social status in the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian Galaxy, so it is not difficult to obtain access to Dijing for the "Tempest". It's just that according to the speed of the second-generation engine, the "Tempest" should still be in W2 or W3 at this time, and it should not arrive at W8 so early, so this destroyer pretending to be a commercial spaceship does not dare to rush to anchor here for replenishment, once it leaves an abnormal sailing record, it will have a great impact on future operations.

The Tempest only took advantage of the spherical shell of the comet cloud at W8 and did not enter the Kuiper Belt and turned in other directions. Under Morgan's arrangement, they will go to the DM01 star field, which is also adjacent to Dijing, for replenishment.

Compared to the W8, DM01 is not on the main channel without such strict inspection and registration measures, and the key point is that there is a mining company "operated" by Morgan, which is actually the property of Awa-Ker, where the "Tempest" can be restocked.

Of course, the Storm can come to DM01 for resupply, but it is also impossible to enter Dijing from here. Ships here either have long-term passes to Dijing or have to go to the W8 to apply for temporary access, and Admiral Goering will not leave such an obvious loophole.

After taking DM01 for replenishment, the "Storm" did not stop here, but sailed in a counterclockwise direction around the Dijing Star Field, heading to the next adjacent Star Field to step on the point, so that Feng Yu and Luo Yunxi could familiarize themselves with the situation around Dijing.

The counterclockwise direction mentioned here is based on the ecliptic plane of the Earth's sun, looking down from the north pole of the ecliptic. If the Aetheria WH is in the direction of 12 o'clock, then the W8 is about 1 o'clock, and it does not fall exactly in a straight line. DM01 is close to 2 o'clock, and the main channel to Tianjing, Star Field DT1, is at 3:30 o'clock, which is the next stop of the "Tempest".

After DT1, there are still several non-main-sequence star fields, which are not yet capable of being exploited by humans in this era. A little later, there is DM02 at 9 o'clock and DM03 at 11 o'clock, which are the same as DM01, which are the mining star fields discovered and developed early around Dijing.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for these fields to fall on the ecliptic plane of the Earth, where W8 is at an elevation angle of a little more than +8 degrees, while DT1 is at an elevation angle of -31 degrees. This way of observation and expression follows the coordinate system of observing space on the earth in the old era, except that here it is based on Dijing.

DT1 is a K-shaped star field, and if it weren't for the main passage to Tianjing, it would naturally not have much development value here. However, due to the war, this is a strategic location in the UAC occupation zone of the new Asian galaxy, which serves as a link between Dijing and DT2.

Feng Yu's first battle after joining the New Asian Space Force was to attack DT2 with the expeditionary force as an iron ball pilot.

At this time, 10 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the expeditionary force failed to capture DT2 that year, but now Fengyu has gone around DT1 behind DT2 in another form. Destiny is indeed a wonderful thing.

However, the "Tempest" also did not enter DT1, after all, the location here is too sensitive, and civilian ships will not enter casually without the necessary reasons. After drilling into the spherical shell of the comet dt1 cloud, the optical sensor peeked into the interior of this star field from afar, and the "Tempest" immediately left.

Although it is not close, with the detection ability of the current shipboard optical sensor, this distance is enough to see the space city-level celestial body clearly, but the battleship cannot be seen.

There are not many artificial objects in DT1, and only one space city is located in positions L4 and L5 in the orbit of Planet 5, one is responsible for transporting supplies to the front line, and the other is a military fortress with a fleet stationing.

Note that this is a military fortress like the "Right Eye of Tianjing", not a semi-fortress space city like Fengyu's common one, and the two are not the same in terms of defensive capabilities and offensive firepower. Even if the expeditionary force was able to capture DT2 back then, it would also be blocked when it reached DT1, after all, this is the last gateway to the Dijing Star Field.

According to Captain Morgan, there are only three shipping lanes in the Dijing Star Field, leading to DT1, W8, and DM02, and the other lanes are completely blocked with space mines.

As for why the direct channel to DM01 and DM03 has not been opened, it must be for safety reasons. And the position of DM02 is exactly 180 degrees away from DT1, which belongs to the large rear of the UAC occupation zone, which will naturally open up a fairway.

According to the information obtained by Captain Morgan, there are a large number of industries in the star field behind DM02, which is also an important target of the "Tempest".
