Chapter 416: Deep Space Cold
The "Sakura" Passage, a 10-light-year-long wide passage after leaving the Jeppen Empire, on top of which even a hovering galaxy is visible to the naked eye.
There are a small number of inhabitants there, mostly people who are dissatisfied with the racial hierarchy of the Jeppen Empire, and their ancestors chose to flee the Jeppen Empire's controlled area and go to a galaxy outside the Jeppen Empire's controlled area. This galaxy located at the junction of the Jeppen Empire and the Dark Star Domain has an extremely harsh environment, and the few planets cannot be immobilized on a large scale without investing in astronomical transformation, and the planets are barren in minerals, and have been assessed as abandoned galaxies as early as thousands of years ago.
The royal family of the Jeppen Empire also had no intention of investing a huge amount of money into this galaxy that did not produce much profit, and over time, this galaxy, which was called a waste star within the Jeppen Empire, became a buffer zone between the Jeppen Empire and the Dark Star Field.
Many "merchants" from the Dark Star Domain chose to trade with Jeppen's regular or informal merchant groups here, and by the way, they got certain supplies here, and some of the materials brought by the tripartite trade also brought life here, allowing these few residents to survive in the harsh environment.
A huge caravan consisting of more than two dozen transport ships and four frigates is sailing at high speed on the "Sakura" channel.
The speed of up to 50,000 kilometers per second shows the height that human technology can reach in 4,000 years, but standing on the cantilevered arm of the galaxy, the huge caravan is just like a swarm of small ants, standing still in the magnificent galaxy.
In the face of the vast galaxy, the steps of human beings are actually not as they imagined, they have really taken a big step, just like they left the surface of the planet for the first time thousands of years ago and entered the starry sky.
Human beings once named themselves a 0.75-level cosmic civilization when they were in the ancient blue star, and when they really walked into the starry sky and began to travel across the starry sky of light years, they realized that they were really too arrogant. Without the appearance of natural wormholes, it is unknown whether humans would be able to get out of the solar system. And even now, human beings have learned to use stellar energy and begin to rule the vast star field calculated by star systems, but the footprints of human beings can only reach the depths of the starry sky for thousands of light years, compared to the Milky Way galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light years, it is just like a lake to the ocean.
On the bow of the largest transport ship in the caravan, a man and a woman looked at the galaxy that was silently circling in the distance, and they were also sighing.
"Yaga! Take some of their small specialties, those untouchables even dare to ask the nobles of the empire to collect fees, and it is especially hateful that they dare to point their cannons at us, why does the empire not send a large army to recover this place in one fell swoop? Kill all these untouchables who don't know the height of the sky. When the man's gaze swept towards the wasted galaxy, there was a hint of shame on his face, and his eyes were full of hideousness.
As a nobleman of the Jeppen Empire, when the merchant ship left the empire and stayed in the waste galaxy last time, he felt that the taste of a sweet potato grown in the ground produced by the planet was quite unique, and he wanted to bring a few tons to the adults of the Great Eagle Empire on a whim, but he didn't expect those untouchables to say that they didn't want money without saying so much, and when they forcibly ordered them to confess, they were met with silent resistance. Dozens of large-caliber energy cannons on the planet's surface were aimed at the transport ships staying outside the void.
Although most of the energy cannons produced decades or even centuries ago would not bring much harm to the caravan, the transports carried important materials used by the empire to exchange with the Great Eagle Empire, in order to avoid being detected by enemy countries and being known by the hostile alliance countries such as the Kyushu Federation to find trouble in the Star Alliance Council, so they were put into his Miyamoto family's caravan for transportation. If there is a problem with this batch of materials because of him, even if his own brother is Miyamoto Tsuyoshi, I am afraid he will not be able to keep him.
Because of this, the pride was like Miyamoto's smoke, and he had to temporarily choose to back down, not to mention the sweet potatoes, and left the waste galaxy with a stomach full of anger.
Now, seeing this galaxy again on the way back, I can't help but feel angry again.
"Your Excellency Miyamoto, why be angry with a bunch of untouchables!" The woman in the straight uniform did not stare at this famous second ancestor in Jiepeng's country, probably because she was afraid that he would see the disdain in her eyes, and explained lightly: "The empire has almost let itself go to the waste star system for thousands of years, and there is a reason for the empire, this star field is the closest place to the dark star field of the empire, and there are many vicious people in the dark star field, if the empire takes over this star field, it will have to send a large number of troops to guard this star field, and it will cost manpower and material resources." But let go of this star field and let these untouchables struggle in it, and in order to survive, they have to struggle to arm and defend the planets. Those outlaws from the Dark Star Domain saw that fighting for life and death did not benefit much, but reduced the armed conflict.
And, more importantly, here, the Empire can trade worthless goods, such as obsolete mechs and starship technology, for mineral resources that are extremely important to the Empire, and our neighbor will not know how much we have acquired, just as the Empire does not know how much they have obtained from the border areas bordering them. β
Greedily glancing at the slender figure of the uniformed woman beside him, Miyamoto Xun quickly changed his expression on his face: "Colonel Soku, thank you for your solution, if you can, why don't you go to the restaurant, how about I invite you to have a drink?" Where do I have a bottle of 3882 Lafite given to me by the Marquis of Scott of the Great Eagle Empire, and there will be no more than three people in the country who can own it. β
When a man asks a woman to drink alone, there are only two possibilities, one is that he gets himself drunk and can go crazy without any scruples; The other is simpler, when a woman is drunk, he can have no scruples.
To put it bluntly, Miyamoto is releasing a strong signal towards the female colonel, who is not too old.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Miyamoto, but you still don't have to drink." The female colonel shook her head and rejected a certain hormone that had already emitted a strong smell, her eyes turned into deep space, and her face became a little cold: "There is information from the military department, the cherry blossom channel has been a little unsafe recently, and many air bandit gangs in the dark star field have come out in groups to rob, and while we are still on the way, there have been more than four caravans robbed here, you and I must be careful and careful." To put it mildly, your and my lives may not be so important in the face of this batch of secret materials. β
"The four frigates all have the badge of my Miyamoto family, even if it is the air pirate gang in the Dark Star Domain, they have to retreat when they see this, but Colonel Cangkong's worry is a little redundant." Miyamoto Xun didn't think so, and said with great satisfaction: "My brother Miyamoto Gang, you are an imperial general, this time he made another great contribution on the Southwest Federation Lafite Star, and destroyed a base alone, making the Southwest Federation lose face but helpless, and he is about to take over the post of commander of the first army of the empire." Aren't those little thieves afraid that my brother will command a large army to level their lair? β
Hearing the second ancestor boasting about his brother, a strange look appeared on the female colonel's face.
Miyamoto is a rising star in the Jeppen Army, and it is only natural that he will take over as the commander of the First Imperial Legion as the head of the Royal Special Mecha Regiment.
But what he just said may be the pain of Admiral Miyamoto's life, and the empire's external propaganda may be to avenge the revenge of the border soldiers, Admiral Miyamoto rode alone into the Rafi Star to destroy the opponent's base, but only those who know the inside story know that it is really the biggest Waterloo in the ten years that Admiral Miyamoto has been in the army.
The two reinforced mecha platoons led by him, including Major General Inouehara, who were equipped with the 9th generation Onikiri mecha, were all wiped out, and even he himself, who was only spared, was not unscathed, and it is said that after returning to China, he spent a month in the high-level medical cabin imported by the empire from the Great Eagle Empire, which was only used by members of the imperial family, before leaving the cabin, so you can imagine how tragic that battle was.
With the lives of more than forty intermediate and second-level mechas, as well as the lives of several intermediate first-level and one senior first-level mecha division, as well as the battle damage of more than 50 9th generation mechas, in exchange for the self-explosion of a company-level base of the opponent, and even more than half of the people successfully evacuated, who won and who lost this battle is actually very clear.
But this may only be a superficial result, the 2nd Fleet of the Southwest Federation came out of the nest, sinking four large starships of the Empire in a row outside the border line, and the battle damage to the Empire's outstanding officers and men amounted to 50,000. In the face of the two main fleets of the empire, the enemy army actually set up troops on the border line, did not retreat, and put on the appearance of a decisive battle, the two armies have been stalemate until now, but each has not fired a single shot, on the star network, the empire has long become a big joke.
It can be said that the battle led by General Miyamoto Tsuyoshi is, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, not a careless defeat, but a big defeat and a loss, and even the pants are about to lose.
It's also a shame that this second ancestor dared to lick his face and say this battle to bring glory to his face.
However, as the liaison officer secretly assigned by the military department to the Miyamoto family caravan, no matter how disdainful the female colonel is, she can't help but give this younger brother of Admiral Miyamoto Gang, one of the few Earls Miyamoto in the empire, a little face, trying to maintain the calm on her face, looking at the distant starry sky: "The prestige of His Excellency Admiral Miyamoto is naturally famous all over the world, but this does not mean that those bandits who are not long-sighted will know who you are Admiral Miyamoto." β
The meaning of the words is naturally that if your brother Admiral Miyamoto is here, he will naturally sit back and relax, but forget about you scumbag, who will recognize you!
Although Miyamoto uses the power of the family to empty everything, he is definitely not stupid, and naturally hears the subtext.
Looking at the slender uniform body in front of him, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly swore in his heart that when he returned to the empire, he would do everything possible to press the person in front of him under his crotchγγγγγγ
What a bullshit noble daughter of the Sora family, her grandfather is just an earl, and she is just a slightly stronger dog in front of the Miyamoto family with the title of duke.
The greedy and vicious gaze swept over the left flank of the bow of the ship as he looked back, and in the light emitted by the stars, a group of meteorites that suddenly jumped into his eyes suddenly galloped towards this direction against the rules, making his gaze instantly hesitate.
What is the light behind the meteorite?
At the same time, the lights of the alarm flashed wildly.
The warning voice of the Central Intelligence Brain also came: "Warning! Warn! Monitor a large number of metallic substances, monitor a large number of energy sources! β
