Lost Starfield, the border area between the Empire and the Duchy of Rank.

"Report, the Orion people have sent a communication, they have successfully arrived at the Orion Alliance, the military is very satisfied with this batch of Draco-class battleships, they have sent a communication request."

Cai and the three were looking at the map of the outer periphery of the Lost Star Field, and stopped when they heard the report of the communication officer on the communication virtual screen.

"Take it in."

Cai Yi closed the virtual map with his hand, and let Zhi Brain change the environment of the command room into a simple meeting space, and then access the communication.

"General Cai, I have successfully returned to China, and this time your battleship has brought us a lot of surprises. Battleships without formal hunting outfits can completely keep up with the speed of our standard battleships in terms of sailing speed.

The most striking thing is the dual gun design, which perfectly solves the contradiction between charging efficiency and power, which is currently only possible with a very small number of reinforced battleships purchased from the Gola Federation.

It's incredible. ”

Vice Admiral Gao Long was telling the truth, the quality of these battleships was completely beyond his imagination, and they were completely inexpensive, at least better than the reinforced battleships sold by the Guluo Federation.

The Orion Alliance was also able to produce G-type standard battleships, and also considered configuring dual main guns, but the result was that the battleship's energy supply system completely collapsed, the main gun charging efficiency was extremely low, and the firepower per unit time was even inferior to using a single main gun.

Chinese solved the problem perfectly......

"Hahaha, that's good, we also wish your country to use this batch of battleships to create immortal achievements on the battlefield."

Cai Ye also laughed.

"General Cai, this batch of battleships is really a surprise. Don't worry, when I finish handing over these battleships, I will definitely lead the team to join you as soon as possible.

I'm really looking forward to working with General Cai. ”

Gao Long was referring to the next joint action of the two armies, and Cai Ye and the others were studying this aspect just now.

"That's natural, and the contemptible people are looking forward to it."

After cutting off the communication, Cai Ye and the three of them talked about the Tianlong-class battleship.

"Needless to say, the Shenlong-class battleships are enough to be used as flagships, but unfortunately, we sold 150 Tianlong-class battleships, otherwise, we will be able to form a fourth fleet."

Qin Baijiang said regretfully.

Sun Xiwu: "If it weren't for the huge loan that His Majesty brought back back then, we wouldn't have been able to produce this kind of battleship today, and now selling battleships is not only to repay the loan, but also to increase income, only in this way can our Fourth Fleet and Fifth Fleet be built at a faster speed." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the route of feeding the war with war and supporting the army with military industry. I'm really looking forward to how fast the empire will grow after we make back the astronomical profits from the Draco-class battleships. ”

In the eyes of Cai Ye, who has experienced great changes in the times, His Majesty's greatness is not only what ordinary people see in their eyes, he is also a great gambler, daring to gamble with many things, it is his foresight and courage that makes the empire develop so rapidly, it seems to be closed to the country, but in fact the development speed is faster than all the known first-level civilizations in the alien domain.

"It's a pity that we haven't explored the Lost Star Domain enough, and we haven't found a fourth life planet until now."

This regret mentioned by Sun Xiwu is not the first time that anyone has mentioned it, the entire empire, from the emperor to the common people, is thinking, when will the empire have a fourth planet of life?

The vicinity of the solar system has been searched all over again, there is not a single life planet, the chaotic star belt has also been searched, many mining stars have been found, but there are no life planets, except for Changqing Star and Avatar Star, there is no life planet in the entire Lost Star Field.

Eyes are beginning to be drawn to the vast hinterland of the Lost Star Field, and many scientists and novelists have boldly speculated that there must be a fourth life planet in that crisis-ridden star field.

However, due to the difficulty of exploration and the crisis step by step, although the ten official scientific expedition teams currently sent by the empire have found many mining stars, they have never found the existence of a living planet.

Due to the special environmental limitations of the Lost Star Domain, it is impossible to use ultra-long-range space exploration equipment, and the harsh starry sky environment cannot be found even if the living planet is separated from the research ship by a small nebula or a planet.

"It is difficult to find a living planet, and every living planet is a priceless treasure that only super families and countries can afford."

Cai Yi shook his head, where is it so easy to find a living planet.

"As the exit of the shipping route, this will definitely be the center of gravity of our garrison in the future, is there any abnormal news from the team exploring the surrounding starry sky?"

Cai Yi was referring to the matter of exploring the star fields near the route.

In order to station and defend the exit of the route for a long time, the emperor [***] team must not only build a strong fortress near the exit of the route, but also deploy a planetary defense system on some planets, in addition, the nearby starry sky must also be explored clearly, and some necessary radar and warning equipment must be installed, otherwise it will be over.

"Seven teams have already completed the exploration mission, and there are three more teams that have not yet been completed, so I'll ask right away."

Sun Xiwu immediately connected to the communication of the exploration department.

"It is reported that the 5th and 8th survey teams have completed the survey mission, and the second team has just lost contact and is trying to contact again."

The survey supervisor reported.

The three of them were not surprised, after all, the situation of Lost Star Field is very complicated, and it is normal to lose contact occasionally.

"Keep calling, if we can't reach for more than three hours, we need to send reinforcements."

"Yes!"

…… At the same time, about 5.5 million kilometers from the exit of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet's shipping route, which had been chosen as the future fortress planet, a small fleet of one cruiser and two patrol ships was in difficulty.

"Major, we still can't get in touch with the fleet, the communication jamming is too strong."

On the cruiser, the communications officer reported to Song Yang, the captain of the cruiser and the leader of the team.

"This is a strong composite electromagnetic interference area, even our high-power communicators cannot be used, how far is it from our detection destination?"

Song Yang asked.

"There are still 600,000 kilometers left, just go around the huge unmanned star in front of you."

Wang Gang, the accompanying scientific examiner, said, pointing to the barren planet and saying, "This planet has extremely strong electromagnetic clouds, but we have found out that it is an uninhabited planet with an extremely harsh living environment. ”

"There are still 600,000 kilometers, which is just the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Go ahead and be careful. ”

Song Yang didn't expect any big discoveries, the team just didn't encounter danger, the team has always been very cautious, and when they encounter the kind of places that can't be passed, they will take a direct detour, and the current electromagnetic interference area only interferes with communication, but it is not a big danger.

"It's a pity that so many of our battleships have been sold, otherwise, I would have been able to command a battleship."

Song Yang said with some regret that he was also a talented battleship commander, but because he was not qualified enough, he was young, and the number of battleships was seriously insufficient, so he temporarily commanded the cruiser as a reserve talent for the battleship commander.

In terms of firepower, defense, and speed, cruisers were much worse than battleships.

He saw with his own eyes the sale of a large number of battleships by the empire this time, so many battleships were sold together, although he also understood, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, I thought of what the general said, after this batch of battleships was sold, the next batch would be produced faster.

All he wanted was to command a mighty battleship and fight the enemy on the front line, preferably to be able to participate in the kind of fleet battle with dozens or even hundreds of battleships, with a salvo of main guns, how powerful and majestic.

Song Yang stood in front of the huge porthole, looking at this barren planet, looking forward to the future.

Gradually, the cruiser sailed past the barren planet with two patrol ships.

Wang Gang, the scientific examiner, stood next to him and turned on the monitoring equipment.

"Captain, there's another planet up ahead. Strange, the color is a bit of a problem. ”

The observation equipment is still affected, but the blurry image shows that it is a slightly greenish planet.

"What's wrong with the color?"

Song Yang restrained his mind, as the captain of the scientific expedition, if there is a problem, he must deal with it.

"The overall color is greenish, and if it weren't for dust and clouds, the planet would probably have green vegetation, oceans, or some greenish minerals."

Wang Gang said simply, and then ordered to debug the equipment and try his best to observe the planet.

"Go ahead and get closer to it."

Song Yang hoped to make a discovery, but he failed to command the battleship, but if he could find a living planet, he would be able to get a lot of credit for discovering a mining star.

Soon, the cruiser with the patrol ship got closer and closer to the planet.

"This, this ......"

When Wang Gang saw a photo sent back by the device, the whole person was stupid, and then rushed to the instrument like crazy and enlarged the picture.

"What happened?"

Song Yang also realized what was going on and rushed over to ask him.

"Captain, wait a minute, I'll let Zhi Brain do a spectral analysis."

Soon, the results of the spectral analysis came out.

"Hahahaha...... Great, Captain, we are rich, the Empire is rich!! ”

Wang Gang roared frantically.

"Is it a living planet?"

Song Yang asked excitedly.

"Yes, Captain, this is a living planet, there are plants, there are oceans, from the spectral analysis, you see, this is covered with green plants, these are the oceans, you see here, there are glaciers, there are even deserts here......"

Wang Gang pointed out the results of the brain analysis to Song Yang.

"Keep getting closer!"

Song Yang was extremely excited and ordered that he wanted to see this living planet with his own eyes.

In a short time, the three ships were already very close to the planet, and the naked eye could distinguish the colors on them.

An aqua blue planet, if it weren't for the fact that this planet is too large, people might mistake it for Earth.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful, this, this is an A-class life planet!!"

The spacecraft has obtained a large number of photos and materials, and on the enlarged screen, a planet with mountains, water, animals and plants suddenly appears in front of everyone.
