In order to be in a hurry, the Galen Empire's expeditionary fleet was once divided into two, with Mel leading large starships equipped with high-rate warp engines to advance into the solar system first, while those small, old, and low-speed starships were pieced together to form a second fleet.

In October of the ninth year of the establishment of Star Technology, two months after the end of the First Earth Defense War, the Second Fleet of the Galen Empire also entered the solar system.

They consist of seventy-nine small and medium-sized starships, the vast majority of which are auxiliary ships, such as electronic warfare starships, small bombing starships, communications relay starships, and so on.

Although this fleet does not have frontal combat capabilities, they have the same advanced curtain stealth system as the main fleet, so they can reach it smoothly without being detected by the Earth fleet.

After the Second Fleet sent a reconnaissance ship to investigate the Earth for three full days, the remaining commander, Wilson, announced the convening of a captain-level meeting to discuss countermeasures.

So, in some remote corner of the solar system, the captains of the dragons were in a state of leaderlessness, full of anxiety, and when Wilson walked into the conference room, all he heard was sighs, as if everyone was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"I have already sent this sad news back to the Empire." Wilson sat down and got straight to the point.

The defeat of the main fleet could not hide the reconnaissance of Wilson and others, after all, it was four hundred and thirty-two starships of all sizes, which orbited outside the earth and were being transformed by the mechanical legion, which was a very obvious target in the solar system.

"Compared to the information we got before, the earth is changing too much now, and the robots are unleashing unparalleled huge productivity, and it may not be long before they will spread over the entire solar system like a virus." One of the captains said in a fearful voice.

The others nodded in agreement, and when they accelerated all the way to the solar system, what they saw was a nightmare scene.

The Chinese people and the mechanical legion are developing wildly, establishing mining bases and colonizing bases in the solar system, and every day, tens of thousands of mechanical legions are stepping off the production line and putting into full swing manufacturing and construction.

If it is normal for robots to work tirelessly and desperately, what about those Chinese people who are incredibly diligent?

Facts have proved that the Chinese nation and the mechanical army are really angry with each other.

No matter how many shortcomings you can pick out from the Chinese nation, no one can deny that in this world, the Chinese nation is the real existence of industrial spirit.

When plague and war struck, the Chinese nation was always able to show a high degree of uniformity, and overnight, the entire territory was blocked, which was an unprecedented feat in human history, and it was also something that other countries could never imagine and replicate.

There are countless rights in the world, but whether it is women's rights or racial equality, the only right that can be above all else is survival.

Perhaps the Western people can make a mess of China, but facts have proved that in the face of a large-scale crisis, it is precisely the Chinese nation that they despise, who are most likely to survive and best adapt to the era of industrialization and high division of labor.

In short, the living captains of the Galen Empire have witnessed the most terrifying miracle they have ever encountered in their lives, a highly coordinated people, and a group of sophisticated robots, forming the most unique group in the universe.

Their personalities are not ostentatious at all, they do not advocate personal heroism, and they lack acting talent, and when facing the outside world, they are introverted and shy, looking like a group of honest people who are easy to bully.

However, this group of honest people will be crazy about infrastructure, crazy mining, crazy smelting, crazy manufacturing, crazy development, will play explosive soldiers at a crazy speed, develop honestly, and there is nothing vain.

Look at this solar system, it's a mess that has been dug up now, it's so miserable, it's like a vicious dog has gnawed it.

The Chinese nation is taking the mechanical corps, the development is the last word moved to the universe, they open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and are happy to develop the manufacturing industry.

Wilson nodded heavily: "I have listed the current situation of the earth and what makes them different from each other, and I have made a detailed report to the headquarters. ”

"And how did HQ reply?" One of the captains asked hurriedly.

"Damn earthlings, there's no way the Empire can swallow this!"

"War! Only war and blood can wash away the shame of the Empire! ”

The captains shouted excitedly, although there are fixed wormholes to block, but along the way, the expeditionary fleet has left a communication repeater, which is like a communication tower, to help receive and strengthen the signal.

Every other week, the Empire sends special ships across the wormhole to the galaxy to receive signals from the expeditionary fleet and bring the data to the Empire.

It's a stupid way to manually move information between two starry skies, but at least it can ensure that the information is conveyed and will not be lost due to distance.

Wilson's complicated gaze swept over everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, we have lost contact with the headquarters, just the week of General Mel's defeat, the Imperial communication ship did not enter the galaxy, so far, the Empire does not know the news of the defeat of the fleet, and our investigation of the earth. ”

Rumble~

The expressions of the crowd were shocked, as if they had been struck by lightning, it turned out that they had been out of contact with the headquarters for eight weeks, and Wilson had been deliberately hiding the news in order to ensure the internal stability of the fleet.

The captains couldn't help but be puzzled, sending a communication ship to the galaxy every week to bring back information from the expeditionary fleet was not a difficult operation, unless the empire encountered a huge change, there was no reason why it had not appeared for eight communication cycles.

At this moment, the expeditionary fleet has a long voyage of one year and seven months from the Empire, even if it sends a spaceship back to the Empire to inquire, I'm afraid it's already too late, right?

Damn, what the hell is going on?

Just when everyone was worried about losing contact with the Empire, Wilson's assistant suddenly rushed up, ignoring the etiquette of the conference room, and shouted directly: "My lord! Lord Wilson! Take a look, we've detected an artificial wormhole! ”

Scold~

Wilson, who was originally going to reprimand his subordinates for not being polite, suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp, as we all know, artificial wormholes require very powerful space technology, if the earthlings have even mastered space technology, it is really terrifying.

Without waiting for Wilson's reaction, the deputy slapped his palm on the multimedia core, and the real-time signal from the command center entered the conference room and appeared in the center of the big screen, and then the deputy hurriedly explained to everyone.

"We measured this signal about a minute ago, first a strong energy convergence, then a spatial disturbance and energy puncture, and finally a rapid stabilization of the spatial disturbance, according to speculation, someone used energy to accurately puncture the space and artificially create a spatial rift, that is, a wormhole."

"Look at this signal, it is the second flagship of the expeditionary fleet, Hailstone, although Hail has been captured and modified by the earthlings, but its overall parameters have not changed, we can clearly determine its identity, now, Hail is rapidly approaching the artificial wormhole, it seems to want to pass through the wormhole!" Wilson exclaimed.

The first flagship of the Galen Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was the Tianqing, but because the Tianqing was a heavy battleship and was too large to meet the criteria for this jump engine test, Luo Jia chose the powerful but small Hail as the test object.

In large fleets, there is usually a first commander and a second commander, and once the first commander dies, the second commander takes his place.

The first commander and the second commander did not live on the same ship, in order to prevent the tragedy of all the commanders in the event of a ship crash, so there was a distinction between the first flagship and the second flagship in the fleet, and as for the acting commander Wilson at the moment, he was the third commander of the expeditionary fleet.

"It's over, it's really through the wormhole!"

"The signal is completely lost, and the target has left the space it is in!"

"Artificial wormholes? Starship Crossing? Gosh, this can't be the legendary Jump Engine!? ”

Witnessing such a magical scene, the conference room suddenly set off a stormy wave, the earth not only mastered robot technology, but even had a jump engine?

This kind of speculation really scared everyone stupid, and their faces were like ashes.
