At the edge of the Centaur arm, facing the galactic center, near the Black Divide, there are almost no star systems left.

However, in this dark star field, there are two star systems standing in the dark void like lighthouses, and the two stars are like navigation lights in the lighthouse, bringing a ray of light to the warships and ships sailing in this area.

The two galaxies are separated by 3 light-years, much like the solar system and Proxima Centauri, but from the direction of the Dark Chasm, the two galaxies are side by side.

If you want to garrison here and defend against potential attacks from the direction of the chasm, then the civilization level will be at least the peak of civilization level 4.

Because the interstellar civilization fleet that can cross the chasm has a technological level that is definitely not lower than the peak of the fourth-level civilization, otherwise it will not be able to safely cross this chasm that is almost tens of thousands of light-years.

Civilizations of this level usually have detection capabilities of 3 light-years, so once a civilization is stationed here, then the interstellar civilization fleet from the direction of the chasm, if it wants to avoid here, must make a detour of more than 3 light-years.

Dang Haochen's 49th fleet has now turned in the direction of the chasm, which he calls the twin galaxies, about 3 light-years away.

Why did you turn here, because it's dark enough!

The black chasm is not called in vain, in the absence of a star system, the chasm here is wider than the chasm between the centaur arm and the perseus arm, and the nearest star system in the galactic center direction is also tens of thousands of light years away, how bright do you say it can be here?

The little light that can be found here is coming from the two stars of the Gemini Galaxy, and everyone knows that when you see the dark in the bright place, it is difficult to see clearly, but when you see the bright place in the dark place, it will be much clearer.

Now Dang Haochen's 49th fleet is observing the twin galaxies in the chasm, oh, the focus is on the one on the right.

The galaxy on the right is the location of the other side of the space gate calculated by the spatial locator when Lin Tao's 3rd fleet attacked the Gold Devouring Beast Battle Star.

This is also the mission target of Dang Haochen's 49th Fleet, as the vanguard fleet, after a comprehensive survey by the reconnaissance ship arranged by Dang Haochen.

There are only these two star systems within 10 light-years of the surrounding area, and even within 20 light-years, there are only these two star systems.

After ruling out the possible existence of the Gold Devouring Beast fleet around him, Dang Haochen prepared to encircle and approach these two systems from two directions.

Now the 49th Fleet has been divided into two parts, one part is led by Chief of Staff Sun Xiaolei, guarding the internal position of the centaur arm, 4 light years away from the target galaxy, ready to launch a coordinated attack according to Dang Haochen's orders.

Dang Haochen himself led five fleets around the chasm, and then gradually approached until they reached a position 3 light years away from the twin galaxies, and then activated the remote observation system.

Even if the observation system sees the situation of the target galaxy 3 years ago, even if the Gold Devouring Beast obscures it, Dang Haochen believes that he can see something from it, at least he can know how many planets there are in this galaxy and the approximate position.

Soon, the observing system projected the observations, and the Gemini A galaxy had a total of 7 planets, including 3 gas planets and 4 terrestrial planets.

From the observations, the signs of the gold swallower's obscuration are obvious, especially the location of several planets, there is a special gravitational field, which allows the light to clearly bypass the planets' positions, and the results of gravitational lensing prove this.

Dang Haochen didn't care about this, but hurriedly calculated whether the positions of the 7 planets were correct, or whether there were really 7 planets.

After calculating, Dang Haochen couldn't help but sneer, "This gold-swallowing beast really wants to cover up!" There is actually a hidden one between the 4th and 5th planets.

Could it be that this planet is also similar to the battle star in the S326 galaxy? This kind of concealment was carried out 3 years ago, and it is obvious that the Gold Swallowing Beast has a plan. ”

Because Sun Xiaolei was on the other half of the fleet, and there was no one around, Dang Haochen could only talk to himself.

At this moment, a question was on his mind, why did the Gold Swallowing Beast perform an unusual masking move three years ago?

Usually, the interstellar civilization will not shade the entire planet when it is in the galaxy where it is located, because the energy consumption is too large, after all, a planet is so big, even if it is shaded, it can be found and calculated with gravitational lensing, and the effect of the shielding is not good.

But the Gold Devouring Beasts did it, the key is that they did it 3 years ago, and there was no war with the Anemo Empire 3 years ago, they will never be to guard against the Aeolian Empire, so what are they guarding against?

Combined with the fact that the Gold Swallowing Beast is here to pursue the Nar Alliance, they should be guarding against the Nar Alliance, but this is not right, the Gold Swallowing Beast is chasing the Nar Alliance, and the Nar Alliance should be in front, why should the Gold Swallowing Beast guard against the Nar Alliance?

Could it be that the Nar Alliance hadn't come here three years ago, and the Gold Swallowing Beast had been laid out in this place in advance?

Thinking so, Dang Haochen immediately dispatched a reconnaissance ship to continue to make space jumps in the direction of the Dark Chasm, with a jump distance of 6 light years, 5 light years, and 4 light years respectively...... 1 light-year, at these locations, again for long-range observations.

I got the Gemini galaxy 9 years ago, 8 years ago, 7 years ago...... 4 years ago galaxy images, of these new galaxy images, only 9 and 8 years ago show that the Gemini A galaxy is a galaxy of 8 planets, and the others are 7 planets.

It seems that the Gold Eater came here 7 years ago and began to completely obscure the 5th planet.

Looking at the fifth planet from the picture eight years ago, Dang Haochen noticed something different.

Through spectroscopic analysis, the planet has a very high metal content, and its volume is not large, even a little smaller than Mars.

Dang Haochen thought about the battle star in the S326 galaxy, and suddenly understood a little, why the Gold Swallowing Beast chose the Twin A galaxy and the S326 galaxy as its stronghold, it seems that they were all for the purpose of transforming the battle star.

It is much easier to transform a planet that is already rich in metal into a battlestar than to directly build a metal battlestar, and it takes a long time to build two battlestars like the Empire.

Dang Haochen retracted these reconnaissance ships, and then opened the space door of the flagship, the coordinates are between the position of the first planet and the second planet in the Gemini A galaxy, where some meteorites gathered, and at the moment when the space door opened, three "Pathfinder 8" have been sent over.

"Pathfinder 8" quickly transmitted back the detected footage, and did not encounter the attack of the Gold Devouring Beast, Dang Haochen couldn't help but nod and muttered to himself: "The 3rd Fleet's trick is quite effective." ”

In the picture, in the galaxy with a radius of 40 astronomical units, all conditions can no longer be hidden, and the fifth planet is missing.

It was empty, and at the same time, there were countless warships in the galaxy as Dang Haochen imagined.

The rocky planets in the galaxy have been mined, and two gas giants have become much smaller, and the hydrogen-containing atmosphere of the entire gas giant has been almost emptied.

Dang Haochen immediately opened the space door again and directly put the "Pathfinder 8" into the Gemini B galaxy, and the situation in the galaxy was similar to that of the Gemini A galaxy.

Dang Haochen immediately connected with Sun Xiaolei, "Xiaolei, the whole army directly jumped into space and entered the Twin B galaxy!" ”

At the same time, Dang Haochen himself also led this part of the fleet to jump into the Gemini A galaxy, and arranged for warships to start searching and exploring the satellites of those gas giants.

As a result, the Gold Swallowing Beast has always left a large amount of equipment behind, but this time it didn't leave anything, and the space detector showed that there was once a large amount of space energy overflowing here, and it was estimated that the time was about 10 days ago.

This time is the day when the battle of the S326 galaxy is completely over, that is, before the Gold Swallowing Beast is completely wiped out, it should have passed the news back here, so the Gold Swallowing Beast here was evacuated on all fronts.

Later, Dang Haochen discovered that the Kuiper Belt and the peripheral warning network satellites of the galaxy still existed, and immediately and unceremoniously destroyed all of them.

Sun Xiaolei quickly connected again and said, "The Gemini B galaxy has nothing left except for the resources and energy planets that have been collected, is it the same for you?" ”

Dang Haochen said seriously: "There is something left, there are a lot of galaxy masking equipment in the Kuiper Belt, and in some places outside the Kuiper Belt, many camouflaged exploration satellites have also been found.

Apparently the system's alert network still exists, and it looks like the Gold Eater is singing an empty plan here. ”

Sun Xiaolei was made to laugh and cry by Dang Haochen's statement, and said: "This is called leaving something? It shouldn't be too late to take it away, right? Or, as you said, leave these things to sing an empty plan, and don't we spend more time scouting because of that? ”

Dang Haochen said: "I really can't figure out where these gold-swallowing beasts have gone, especially the battle star here!" ”

Sun Xiaolei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What battle star?" ”

"Oh, the fifth planet here is the same as the planet in the S326 galaxy, because it is rich in metals, so it was transformed into a battle star by the Gold Swallowing Beast, but now this battle star has also been withdrawn." Dang Haochen explained.

Sun Xiaolei's face was a little solemn, and he said, "Then you quickly summarize these situations and report to Zhuo Yuan, the former enemy commander." ”

At this time, the notice of the pursuit command on the appointment of Zhuo Yuan as the commander of the former enemy had already been issued, and at the same time, the follow-up reinforcement fleet was already speeding up with the arrival of the Space Gate battleship and energy supply.

Dang Haochen nodded and said: "Yes, not only do you have to report to Zhuoyuan, but you also need to report to Elder Zhang of the pursuit headquarters, this matter is a little strange."

I found out that the Gold Eater came here 7 years ago, and before the Nar Alliance, and the Gold Eater may have fought a battle with the Nar Alliance in this area. ”

Dang Haochen said, telling Sun Xiaolei about the experiment he had done before, and Sun Xiaolei couldn't help but say: "Okay, you actually use this way to detect."

Now, although the Gold Devouring Beast has withdrawn from here, we have not gained any credit, but if you do this, we will be considered meritorious again. Saying that, Sun Xiaolei was actually happy.

Dang Haochen ignored him, and after ending the call between the two, he hurriedly summarized the relevant information and information and transmitted it to Zhuoyuan and the pursuit headquarters.

It didn't take long for several space gate battleships to appear in the void near the sixth planet of the Gemini A galaxy, and then these space gate battleships quickly activated the space gate and docked with the space gate on the other side.

After completion, a large number of warships continued to pour out from the Void Space Gate, and soon a large fleet appeared in the Void, they quickly moved away from the Space Gate and occupied a position.

Soon another large fleet appeared, and an hour later, in this void of the Twin A galaxy, a huge group of warships filled the place.

This is the first pursuit fleet composed of more than 1.7 million warships of 16 large fleets, and the former enemy commander is Zhuo Yuan, and the chief of staff Deng Qiuheng is the former enemy.

After Zhuo Yuan received Dang Haochen's report, he immediately decided that the first pursuit fleet would all rush here, and prepared to send further reconnaissance ships to reconnoiter in the direction of the chasm.

At the same time, he plans to use the twin galaxies as a bridgehead, because the resources here are almost exhausted by the Gold Devourers, so he applies to the pursuit command for the supporting facilities of the transfer station.

Either way, this is a star system, and it's at least easier to set up defenses than in the chasm.

"Zhuoyuan, are you thinking about something?" Chief of Staff Deng Qiuheng asked.

Zhuo Yuan nodded and said, "I have calculated, according to the situation discovered by Dang Haochen, if the Gold Devouring Beast appeared here 7 years ago, the Nar Alliance would have come later.

Either they passed through here to fight the Gold Eater and fled into the chasm, or they entered the chasm from somewhere else nearby, and now they should both be between 2000-3000 light-years from the chasm.

If we don't build a relay station here and continue to build a relay station towards the dark chasm, then even if we catch up with them, we may not be able to interfere. ”
