Before you know it, the year is 2943, and 23 years have passed since it was broken into zero.

In the past 20 years or so, all units have strictly implemented the core policy of "rapid reproduction, expansion of troops, and dispersion and advance," and the situation has undergone earth-shaking and tremendous changes.

Since 2920, the fourth generation of unknown people in each squad has already reached adulthood and embarked on various jobs.

Some people have begun to receive high-intensity advanced military training, some have become key members of various productive sectors, and some have entered core research institutions, perfectly combining study and work.

At the beginning, Zhou Donglai's request was that by 2960, at least 8,000 teams must arrive in the Genting Star Field, and the number of personnel in each team must not be less than 2 million.

But it is obvious that Zhou Donglai's consideration is too conservative, so far, the number of existing squads of the nameless fleet is 9801, excluding the core fleet, the average population size of the rest of the detachments is 1.957 million, and the average number of ships in each detachment is 4208.7, including 2706.1 manned ships and 1502.6 unmanned ships.

The total population of the Nameless Fleet has increased from less than 300 million to 19.221 billion.

The overall ship size of the entire unmanned fleet has reached 41.35 million.

Compared with the 120,000 ships when they were forced to disperse, it has expanded by 344.58 times.

The comparison is extremely intuitive.

The core reason for such an intuitive change is that the fleet has changed its focus from concealment to development.

After the detachment was broken up, most of the covert needs were abandoned, but whenever the opportunity arose, it would efficiently collect energy and materials, and then convert resources into population and overall strength with great efficiency.

The new route brings a new situation.

Although small detachments continued to be destroyed by pursuit because their whereabouts were exposed, the overall strength of the fleet was still expanding at a rate far faster than the speed at which it was consumed by the enemy.

The change is obvious, but this does not mean that the previous strategy of latent forward is wrong, and the past course cannot be negated because of the current development.

The scientific and technological background of different times determines different policies and routes.

Before the three core technologies of cryonics, real energy refining technology in the curvature space, and the latest ultra-high efficiency and complex polycrystalline material synthesizer that can be used in the curvature space are formed, the fleet cannot quickly form a combat scale after it is divided into parts, and there is no room for development if it wants to, and the outcome of exposing its whereabouts is likely to be quickly eaten away by the enemy.

At the same time, it also slightly reversed the civil unrest caused by the original alliance of free will.

Judging from the final result, although the Libertarian Alliance caused civil strife, it also improved the combat effectiveness of the fleet in the short term, and also provided basic ideological enlightenment for the scattered advance of the whole into parts.

In a sense, if the original idea of the Freewill Alliance after breaking away from the fleet was not to flee, but to disperse the march, then the idea of the group of libertarians represented by Ophoros Cage to break away from the fleet and start anew is correct.

Objective conditions must be taken into account, at that time the "Pact of Destiny" had not yet taken shape, the will could not be unified, and the result of the rash dispersion of the fleet was inevitably to lead to a complete loss of control of the situation.

The limitations of the times make human beings always have to pay a phased price on the way forward.

The Cage father and son alliance with the free will alliance no longer need to be engraved on the pillar of shame in history.

These people, in their own way, have also made great contributions to the Nameless Fleet and humanity.

At this time, the changes that have taken place in some of the squads have been particularly earth-shaking.

The development of these detachments is particularly good, the overall strength has steadily increased, and the size of the fleet has changed from what it used to be.

For example, the 6322 squad now has as many as 19,000 ships and a population of nearly 8 million.

Then the original squadron establishment is no longer applicable, and a new fleet establishment should be established separately in the system, at least to be changed to a squadron or brigade.

However, after comprehensive consideration and learning from history, Zhou Donglai decided to let 6322 continue to use the formation title of the squad.

It's a disguise.

Because it cannot be ruled out that compound eyes are also quietly infiltrating the human quantum network and intercepting part of the information from it.

Maintaining the name of the squad has a chance to make the compound eye misjudge when deploying troops, so it will take the lead in intelligence.

It doesn't matter what the title is big or small, what matters is strength.

In January 2943, a new turning point appeared.

Team 6322 discovered a special galaxy in its path.

The galaxy is 2,160 light-years away from the galactic black hole's event horizon.

It's basically the heart of the Milky Way.

If the Milky Way is compared to a city and the stars are seen as inhabitants of the city, the location of the solar system is a sparsely populated suburb with only 0.004 inhabitants per cubic light-year.

The area near the silver heart is the bustling Shizhong District.

The star density in the most core region near the galactic center is as high as 289,000 stars per cubic light-year, 72 million times that of the solar system.

In the night sky of the planets in that region, there will be a million stars brighter than Sirius.

The night is like day, and the stars are in the sky.

Stars are the source of energy.

For humans who have surpassed the fourth-level civilization and mastered the rapid development technology of stars, the vicinity of the Silver Heart is both a dangerous Jedi and an inexhaustible mineral deposit.

At this time, although the 6322 team did not arrive at Yinxin, it reluctantly left the suburbs and entered the urban-rural junction.

In this region, the star density is 330 stars per cubic light-year, which is 82,500 times that of the solar system.

The information sent back by the reconnaissance aircraft patrolling in advance in the original three-dimensional space was dropped into the 6322 command ship.

6322 Commander Andrei Freyček unfolded the message, and a beautiful star map came into view.

It was an extremely large olive-shaped, light-blue star.

The absolute brightness is 11.2 times that of the Sun, and the volume is 1.9 billion times that of the Sun.

In the vicinity of this star, tens of millions of huge nebulae are far away in the form of rays.

Nebulae vary in size, from hundreds of millions of times the size of light blue stars to small ones the size of Jupiter.

Specialists located in the 3rd Astronomical Science Ship 6322 quickly provided a more detailed analysis report.

"The region was once a small globular cluster of more than 3,000 stars. Stars move around each other. 600,000 years ago, two of these supermassive stars collided with each other due to external forces, causing a supernova explosion, leaving behind an unstable black hole. The black hole completely disrupted the motion stability of this star cluster, constantly colliding with other stars, and eventually led to an astonishing Big Bang. Over the years, it evolved into the special star and radiating nebula we see today. ”

"The total mass of the stars is only 13 times that of the Sun, which is not commensurate with its sheer size. The reason for this is that the interior is hollow. It's not an olive-shaped star, it's a nebula. The light blue light is not the energy released by the nuclear fusion reaction triggered by the quantum tunneling effect in ordinary stars, but a magma-magnetic storm composed of electrical energy and magnetic fields. ”

"This storm only exists on the surface. There is hardly any high-energy reaction visible from within, and it is illuminated by the light around it. In the very center of its interior, there is an ultra-small black hole with a mass only 2.1 times that of the Sun. Small black holes provide gravitational pull, holding the outer layer of the magma-shaped magnetic storm nearby and rotating at high speeds, forming the olive body we see. ”

"More amazing structures are in there."

The astrophysicist said as he zoomed into the stereogram.

The simulation in front of Andrei's eyes began to move inward.

"As we can see, there are dozens of planets in it that are orbiting the black hole in different orbits. The largest of these dozens of planets is only 4.2 times the mass of Earth, the smallest is 0.7 times more massive than Earth, and the average mass of all planets is 1.1 times that of Earth. All planets have orbits in the 'Earth's habitable zone', and each planet has an atmosphere and a different ecological environment. ”

"Yes, in just a few tens of thousands of years, all the planets here have given birth to early life. The planet's orbit is very stable and does not collide with the large number of dark energy masses and small dark matter masses that are abundant in the vicinity. It's a galaxy full of life and cosmic wonders! Before the magma storm energy was depleted, the structure of the galaxy was very stable. ”

"Comprehensive calculations can conclude that magma magnetic storms can be stable for at least two billion years! If this system is given enough time, an amazing new civilization can surely develop here. Of course, there is no future for this civilization, as they will not be able to break through the blockade of the Magma Storm until they have attained the same level of technology as we do. However, the relatively closed and narrow space makes the technological level here only develop to infinitely close to the third-level civilization at most. Assuming that there is a civilization here, it will inevitably be destroyed in the extremely chaotic external environment at the same time as the magma storm collapses. ”

"This is the analysis parameter ...... of the magmatic storm"

Andre quickly scanned the parameters and couldn't help but gasp.

The alternation of electric current and magnetic field alone can achieve such a high level of energy response.

This magma storm completely cut off the internal and external refractive channels and curvature channels, and it is impossible to bypass them.

At the same time, the ultra-high-energy response of the storm can even tear apart the vast majority of ordinary ships in the 6322 fleet today.

Today's ships are not the tin foil of the days when humans first went into space.

Aside from the energy and force field shields, in terms of the material of the ship's hull, scientists have used the triple unification force in these materials to achieve a miraculous performance, and the performance has surpassed the prismatic ship in the previous timeline, with extremely strong stability, toughness, and self-healing characteristics, which can be called the pinnacle masterpiece of the fourth-level civilization in the universe in materials science.

Such materials can still be easily torn apart by the magma storm.

So the astrophysicist was right.

The civilization born in it can only touch the boundary of the third-level civilization at most, but in order to break out before everything is destroyed, it must be at least the material science and technology level of the fourth-level civilization.

It's an endless loop with no solution.

The above questions are the level that scientists consider.

But Andrei Freyček, as the head of the 6322 fleet's military and political integration, considers indeed something bigger.

He made a judgment in an instant.

This particular star is simply a front-line fortress tailored for the Human Expeditionary Force.

Combined with the massive amount of high-quality energy at your fingertips, and the storm layer that can block the jump and curvature flight, it is completely possible to create a starry sky fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, integrating military, scientific research, population reproduction, rapid production and other functions.

Andre immediately contacted Zhou Donglai through the highest-level top-secret channel, and used the traditional but most secure manual password to compile the communication, and began to communicate with Zhou Donglai at the speed of a message exchange in five minutes.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Donglai expanded the meeting to include the fleets near 6322, as well as the five top military staff officers who were currently scattered among the other fleets.

Three hours later, the following decision was taken.

First, the unnamed special galaxy was named the Oasis Galaxy, which meant that the desert travelers stumbled upon an oasis of salvation when they were struggling to move forward.

Second: Approved Andrey's proposal to temporarily halt the advance and establish a fortress base here to further expand the strength of the fleet, and to develop a complete strategic plan around the above plan.

The Nameless Fleet once again changed part of the plan, but it was not a denial of the past, but it was more in line with Zhou Donglai's own more flexible and changeable strategic thinking than Qin Guang.

In the vastness of the universe and the long voyages, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and improvisation is a matter of course.

Three days later, the 6322 fleet was the first to arrive at the edge of the Oasis Star, and it was docked only 50 million kilometers from the edge of the huge olive-shaped light blue star, and was stationed on the spot.

A large number of reconnaissance teams were then dispatched in all directions to guard the perimeter.

At the same time, the military warships began to spread out in all directions at a slow pace, forming a defensive formation.

The scientific research ships, production ships, and scientific research ships broke away from the large forces and moved closer to the surface of the Oasis Star.

As for the Population Breeding Ship, it is located in the center of the military ship and other functional ships.

Half an hour later, the first-generation unmanned research airship, which had been targeted and improved based on the remote sensing data obtained by the scientific researchers, flew out of a production ship and went straight to the plasma-magnetic storm layer of the Oasis Star.

Thirty-five minutes later, the research airship first lost contact outside the magma storm layer, then lost control, and finally blew up with a bang.

However, before blowing up the plane, the airship transmitted a large amount of analytical data to the rear.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the second batch of a total of 100 re-improved scientific research airships flew out.

The second batch of airships was still all blown up, but more information was obtained.

At the same time, Andrei began to receive alerts that the nearest fleet of Compound Eyes would arrive in four days.

If it was usual, the 6322 fleet would definitely run softly, but this time, Andrei started a comprehensive assessment and conducted a war simulation.

"The closest team to us, Team 8119, will also arrive on the same day, and this battle can be fought and won. But we will lose about a thousand to two thousand ships. The scientific expedition work must be accelerated. Ask the scientific research team what's going on, why they keep blowing up the machine. ”

Andre was saying that the third batch of 500 scientific research airships were all blown up, but this time he did not get more new data.

Lu Guangda, the leader of the scientific research team of the 6322 fleet, a 22-year-old young genius and recognized successor of Emerson Cobert, said: "The energy of the magma magnetic storm is too violent, causing huge interference to all our means of communication such as quantum communication, electromagnetic communication, and gravitational wave communication. We decided to modify the manned spacecraft carrying the black box system based on the existing data, and change it to manual control, which can fly as close and as close as possible. It will take at least half an hour to improve the technology. At the same time, our research vessel pilots and field analysts are selected...... Too many people have signed up, and they are all about to fight. ”

When Andre heard this, he was a little silent, no longer held accountable, and only said, "Well, Dr. Lu, you keep up your efforts." By the way, thank you to the young people on my behalf. ”

If you go this way, you will not be able to turn back.

But the fourth generation snatched the place to death.

Andre turned his head to look at the huge pale blue star outside the perspective porthole, and muttered to himself, "It's different." ”
