Chapter 693: Wormhole Defense Line
Destroying the starfleet of the rot-clawed lizardmen, the Tianzhoulou ship flew at its maximum speed for more than two months before it approached the airspace where the natural wormhole was located.
It is a large interstellar dust cloud composed of small Xiaoice comets, meteorite fragments, and thin gaseous matter, stretching for tens of millions of kilometers, and the wormhole is hidden in the depths of the cloud.
At this distance, the ultra-long-range observation circle on the Tianzhoulou ship could already easily see everything in the dust clouds, and when the dark celestial body with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers and like a void vortex appeared in the mana light mirror, many of the high-ranking generals and academic experts present showed shocked expressions.
"What a nice place,"
Qin Shuangqi sighed with emotion: "When the empire's national strength is strong enough in the future, this is the hub to the other side of the starry sky, as long as you control here, the future of human civilization will be full of hope." ”
"It's just, it's too far away,"
Song Xuemei shook her head slightly: "With the current level of interstellar warship technology in the Empire, it will take more than two years to reach here from the lunar orbit, and it will take five years to go back and forth, even if it is communication, it will take dozens of hours to go back and forth, and the effectiveness is too poor at this time." ”
Dong Feiying, the commander of the Imperial Praetorian Legion, said: "It is not enough to have hyperspace communication technology, it must be put into use in batches with practical hyperspace jump warships to ensure the empire's control of this key transportation area!" ”
Pluto's orbit is nearly six billion kilometers from the moon, and it takes about five or six hours for the speed of light to reach Pluto from here, and the location of the natural wormhole has penetrated deep into the Kuiper belt, and it takes more than twenty hours for the command from the lunar base to be received by the Imperial starships here.
Therefore, for the current empire, it is simply unrealistic at this stage to effectively control the edge of the star system far from the blue star, unless it is to wait for a breakthrough in related technology in the future.
Qin Feng asked: "I remember that the laboratory of the Imperial Academy of Sciences already has the technical means of hyperspace communication, how far is it from practical application?" ”
Qin Shuangqi replied: "There are already several sets of equipment in the trial, but the effect is not very stable, and the cost of use is a bit high, so it can not really replace the conventional means of communication, if you want to improve this technology, under the premise of increasing investment, two to three years." ”
Qin Feng nodded: "This is not a problem, when I go back, the empire will soon have a reliable hyperspace communication system, and there is no need to wait so long." ”
He has decided to spend the origin to exchange for the starship, just the stable and reliable hyperspace communication technology, a full set of technical data, process drawings and sample equipment, all of which are only 100 million origins.
As for the real hyperspace transition technical data, Qin Feng felt that the empire was not in a hurry to need this thing, so he could wait, but now it seems that he can't delay it any longer, after all, the solar system has been targeted by the hostile interstellar civilization race of rot-clawed lizardmen, even if this crisis is passed without danger, what if there is a next time?
Therefore, it has become a top priority to improve the level of the empire in the field of space technology as soon as possible, what Qin Feng needs is that in his absence, the empire also has enough ability to protect itself, rather than relying on him to solve everything.
When the Empire's fleet is equipped with space-jumping ships, it will become feasible to intercept the attack of the Rot-Clawed Lizardmen outside the solar system.
Against the background of the dark void, the Tianzhoulou ship slowed down slightly, smashed through a few ice comets blocking the way, and broke into the depths of the dust cloud, and it didn't take long to discover the rocky planet with a diameter of nearly 1,000 kilometers, the black surface of the planet, and the polar regions have a lot of buildings, the style is strange and ugly, similar to the height of the city he once saw at the bottom of the blue star.
That's right, this is it!
Qin Feng silently walked out of the ship, turned into a streamer and teleported to the surface of the planet, and when he raised his hand, hundreds of starry and glittering thunderbolts smashed down.
There are not many legions of rot-clawed lizardmen left behind, and the strongest of them are only at the level of a twenty-first level ability, that is, a Infant Transformation Realm monk, who is his opponent? It was slaughtered in a single spot, and all the materials with strong radiation were recovered by the starship.
At this distance, even ordinary people with abilities can use the naked eye to spot the natural wormhole in the distance, like a bottomless void shaft hanging above. Qin Feng condensed for a while, and there was still a cold and dangerous aura faintly shining through from the other side of the wormhole, indicating that the home planet of the rot-clawed lizardman was still paying attention here.
"Can I go over and have a look now?"
"Obviously, master, you can't do this, it's too dangerous, in their lair, there will definitely be individuals beyond the Extreme Heaven Realm." Ship Spirit Yu said.
Qin Feng exhaled lightly, suppressing this somewhat risky thought in his heart. As an interstellar civilization in the true sense, there will definitely be strong people of this level, and there are more than one or two, and some special and mysterious means are also not uncommon. It is inevitable that he will be besieged after he passes, and it is difficult to say whether he can successfully return to it.
Therefore, I can only wait for a while, and when I break through the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the Yuanluo Realm, I will be much more sure to do this again.
The Tianzhoulou ship flew to the surface of the planet, Qin Feng waved his hand, and a giant hand made of mana condensed appeared out of thin air, and as it pressed down, a rugged hill thousands of meters away shattered in response, and under the pressure of the huge force, it became a dense and flat ground with a radius of ten miles, and then let the Tianzhoulou ship land.
The hatch opened, and a large group of Praetorian guards dressed in heavy enclosed armor swarmed out, and on the surface of such a planet with no atmosphere and almost absolute vacuum, even high-level abilities had to use equipment to ensure combat effectiveness for a long time.
"Your Majesty, what shall we do now?"
Dong Feiying asked after coming over to salute.
Qin Feng thought for a while and ordered: "Release all the unmanned intelligent equipment, arrange a base first, and wait for the rest to go back." ”
The space in the Tianzhoulou ship is large enough, so this time it brought a lot of large intelligent weapon stations, light warships, communication bases, starry sky observation radars, multiple nuclear fusion energy towers, etc., as long as they are installed and debugged, and the program is set, they can operate autonomously, and there is no need for human intervention for several years.
In this place far from the blue star, it is unrealistic to want to build a manned military base immediately, but fortunately, the functions of the unmanned base are not much inferior, and it can meet the demand for the time being.
As a result, the Tianzhoulou ship stayed here for seven days, and thousands of experts and engineers successfully built three large-scale interstellar early warning and defense bases on the surface of the planet.
Together with light floating warships, early warning observation satellites, and armed space stations cruising in low-earth orbit, the three bases form a defense line specifically for the direction of natural wormholes.
The firepower in the base is quite powerful, as long as a new meteorite fleet is observed coming out of it, high-power laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, and tens of thousands of missiles carrying nuclear warheads and antimatter warheads will pour out of the nest to carry out a stormy covering attack on this group of aliens, and at the same time send early warning information back to the mainland of the solar system as soon as possible.
Perhaps such a measure will not have much effect, but at least it will allow the Empire to get the news in time, so as to buy enough time to prepare for war.
Qin Feng used these seven days to look at the entire surface of the planet, delineate several suitable areas, and prepare to build a starry sky moving array when it is appropriate in the future.
When the Great Array is completed, not to mention a manned military base, even a city can be successfully established, and the Empire's ability to control the frontiers of the solar system will truly reach an unprecedented height in the future.
