After the first curvature engine was successfully developed, it took less than a year to equip the space fighter unit of the Imperial Starfleet in batches.

This undoubtedly improves the combat effectiveness of the space fighter unit, because the storage of curvature engines reduces the use of conventional fuel, plasma engines, high-power generators and other equipment, saving space and weight.

After some comparison, space fighters equipped with curvature engine engines, as long as the basic strength is sufficient, the combat effectiveness is generally 2-3 times stronger than that of conventional space fighters, and the endurance is more than 10 times.

The mass production of the curvature engine still faces certain problems, some law runes need to be inlaid by the Blue Star people, and the space channel runes can only be provided by Tianming.

Without the help of these two aspects, the experts would not have been able to build a curvature engine so quickly.

For example, today's Ming's divine sense is extremely powerful, and it won't take him long to produce a thousand pairs of spatial channel runes a day, and the four-dimensional space can now synthesize more than 300 cubic meters a day...... That's enough to hold one planet.

The curvature engine was developed, and Tianming issued an order to the starship dockyard to produce a new type of interstellar cruise ship within a year.

Tianming's requirements are: the length is about one kilometer or more, the width is more than 300 meters, and the actual tonnage is about 1 million tons.

Overall, this starship is about the same as an E-class starship.

He added: "Let's mass-produce three, one for my own use, and two for the Academy of Sciences' star research vessels, all equipped with curvature engines." ”

Tianming remembered the Moonlight about ten years ago, which was originally an interstellar cruise ship for him, and later became Wen Jichu's interstellar research ship, from its construction to its service so far, he has only taken it a few times.

Now, a new star cruise ship is about to be built, and naturally he doesn't want to have another one of his cruise ships. This is the case where it has been used for scientific research for a long time.

……

Six months later.

"Your Majesty, the interstellar cruise ship has been built, please come and have a look."

"Oh, so soon, I'll take a look."

……

Using the most advanced nano-industrial machine qì human and fully automatic starship manufacturing technology, an E-class starship that used to take at least a year to build now only takes three or four months at most, and the production speed of the starship in the mass production stage is even faster than that.

A new star cruise ship, named "Starfield".

It is 1,186 meters long and 323 meters wide. It is 186 meters high and has an empty weight of 827,000 tons.

Because of the use of the most advanced original curvature engine, it can fly at a maximum speed of 0.8 times the speed of light, as long as the basic force provided is sufficient.

Naturally, the interior space of the Star Sky is extremely empty, especially the central Star Bridge with an area of more than 5,000 square meters, a bit like a super enlarged version of the bubble-shaped fighter cockpit, standing in the Star Bridge, the starry sky seen is almost the same as standing on the surface of the planet.

Luxuriously decorated. The layout is atmospheric.

After walking around, Tianming was very satisfied.

"Yes, yes, the Starry Sky is indeed much more high-end and luxurious than the Moonlight."

"Coupled with the powerful curvature engine, the whole starry sky is not ready to gallop?"

Tianming's heart was full of curiosity. An interstellar tour plan was immediately developed.

……

5 billion kilometers away from the star.

Deep in Space......

Near a meteorite belt, a large starfleet is carrying out missions around the meteorite belt.

Large and small, there are as many as three or four hundred ships.

If you count those small vehicles and probes, you can also count them. There is no way to estimate their number.

A meteorite scavenger-class starship that has been in service for many years, with several long ropes sticking out of its tail, starts its engine vigorously. Slowly dragged a meteorite with a diameter of about 500 meters.

The space fighter was not idle, but after launching a missile and hitting a meteorite, the missile turned into an iron hook, connected to a rope, and was finally dragged off the track by the fighter.

In the center of the fleet, there are four huge starships with slightly bulging bellies, estimated to be more than ten kilometers long.

Those were four space supply ships, larger than all starships because they were to supply the entire starfleet.

Space supply is not the same as sea supply, because the distance is too far, and it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport supplies from the main planet to Starfleet from billions of kilometers, and it is not realistic.

Therefore, the way this fleet is supplied is to get close to the meteorite belt and then capture some meteorites as a source of water, minerals, and energy.

In the center of the fleet is the Admiral, a starship as large as a space supply ship, but slightly slim and slender.

Lin Mo, who was wearing a military uniform, stood on the bridge with his hands behind his back, looking at the star in the center of the galaxy through the glass with his deep gaze, because the distance was too far, he could only see the dim light emitted by it, like a low-power incandescent lamp.

It's eleven years into the empire, and it's changed dramatically compared to before.

It can be said that it is getting stronger day by day.

But looking at the stars in the sky, Lin Mo's heart was also a little impatient.

During this time, in the Arcious A163 galaxy, there was a shocking battle.

That galaxy was less than 500 light-years away from this galaxy, and through the Guò Rune Space Mirror, Lin Mo and a group of astronomers spent a whole month watching the whole process of that interstellar war.

All kinds of high-energy light are like discotheques, a large number of planets are shattered like bursting watermelons, and countless garbage floating in space after the war is like nebula.

Although he couldn't experience it himself, and the scene he saw in the space mirror was not clear enough, the scene of the interstellar war still made Lin Mo feel his blood boiling slowly.

Turning the space mirror again, looking at the mysterious alien fleet that was heading towards this galaxy, Lin Mo's eyes showed a cold light, "Aliens?" I can't wait for you to come. ”

Coincidentally, the direction in which the aliens came happened to be opposite to the area where Lin Mo was stationed and patrolled, and if the aliens really came, Lin Mo's fleet would definitely bear the brunt.

And the smallest of those alien warships may be hundreds of kilometers long, more than ten times the size of his flagship. Whether they can be eliminated is still a relatively open question.

But Lin Mo is not worried, the empire still has about 30 years of development, and it will definitely be able to form a fleet that is even larger and more advanced than them before the arrival of aliens!

Those aliens are just here to die.

……

"Report, His Majesty the Ming Emperor has arrived on the Starry Sky."

A voice is heard in the video.

Lin Mo looked at a small silver dot that appeared in front of him, immediately woke up from the silence, and ordered: "The fleet is ready to greet and line up to welcome His Majesty!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Starsky. Inside the Bridge of the Stars.

Tianming looked at the Fourth Fleet of the Empire, which was arranged in two horizontal and one vertical queues in front of him, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and was setting off bright space fireworks, and military music was also playing on the radio.

"Meet His Majesty Emperor Ming!"

Lin Mo entered the Star in a space transport plane and met Tianming.

"No need to be polite."

The purpose of Tianming's trip was only to inspect several fleets of the Empire, which had been stationed on the frontier for a long time, and it was difficult to reunite with his family for a long time.

For the safety of the Empire. It is not easy to give up a comfortable and peaceful life on the planet for the sake of the sacred duty on my shoulders.

It is also very appropriate to inspect and comfort them.

Tianming and Lin Mo both hit it off at first sight. After a few brief pleasantries, we began to discuss some topics.

Lin Mo looked at the starry sky from afar, sighed and said, "I don't know when we will be able to get out of this galaxy and conquer the sea of stars?" ”

Tianming smiled slightly. Sensing the melancholy in Lin Mo's heart, he gave an accurate answer: "About two hundred years later, the territory of the empire. will expand to more than 200 star systems. ”

Lin Mo was stunned, two hundred years later, two hundred galaxies, isn't that an average of one galaxy a year, so fast?

"In about 2,000 years, the empire's control area will expand to more than 20 billion star systems, and the sphere of influence will account for 2% of the total territory of this river system."

Lin Mo was stupid, in just two thousand years, the empire had to control 20 billion star systems, and now the population of the empire is only more than 300 million, and the average person has 7,80 galaxy conquest tasks, which is ...... How can it be?

"About 20,000 years later, this river system should all belong to the sphere of influence of the empire, and there will be no existence that can challenge us."

Tianming said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how is this, how is this possible, we only have more than a thousand starships now, and we can complete the task of conquering a river system in 20,000 years, this is ......"

Lin Mo felt a burst of confusion and heard a fantasy.

Tianming didn't explain, just a confident smile on his face.

Back five years ago.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau received information from the central region of the river system, which appeared to be a super-transmitter using wave rune technology, which was very regular and enduring.

After three years of decipherment by linguists and supercomputers, it was finally figured out that it was the "lingua franca" of this galaxy.

There are countless grammatical combinations and graphs and sound waves in the "lingua franca", which are loaded into an intelligent computer before they are deciphered, and the information is not only the "lingua franca" of the river system, but also a translation dictionary, and all civilizations in this galaxy, as long as they exceed level 6, will be qualified to incorporate their own civilization language system into the "lingua franca" to provide convenience for other civilizations to understand and translate.

The language expert also said to Tianming: "According to the dictionary information, there are about 186 sixth-level civilizations, 13 seventh-level civilizations and one eighth-level civilization in this galaxy system. ”

"In the structure of the lingua franca, the grammar of the eighth-level civilization is used as the blueprint for the bottom, and it is also mentioned in the preface: this galaxy system belongs to them, and they belong to a ninth-level civilization not far away...... That ninth-level civilization is a super civilization with more than 8 million and this river system. ”

"As for Blue Mercury, it is at most a low-level planet in the corner, nominally belonging to a third-level civilization called 'Wuka'......"
