Chapter 284: Two Powers Fight
This is a region full of meteorites, and this meteorite belt is not in the galaxy, but in the outer reaches of the galaxy's Oort cloud.
It's a full 1.5 light-years away from the galaxy, and occasionally a large meteorite will accelerate towards the galaxy and gradually evolve into a comet, piercing the dark sky.
A fleet appeared in the meteorite belt, which appeared cautiously, in fact they did not worry about meteorites in their path, and under the protection of the battleship's powerful shield, they did not even attack those meteorites with close-in laser cannons.
I saw that the meteorite that hit it was close to a certain distance from the battleship, and suddenly disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by something.
The fleet consisted of 100 warships, each of which was very large, all of them with two layers, round and metallic.
It is the fleet of the Wind God Empire, and the commanders who lead the fleet are Chen Qingquan and Xie Zhongming, and the two have not had the opportunity to lead the fleet for actual combat missions for many years.
Although this is not a combat mission, but a patrol mission to check the corresponding long-range observation system, after all, it is also a rare thing to be able to lead the fleet on its own.
"Zhongming, do you see the meteorite in front of you?" Chen Qingquan asked, pointing to the projection screen.
"If you want to say anything, just say it, this is the 16th inspection, as long as the meteorite here doesn't become a comet and flies away, I can know where the location is with my eyes closed." Xie Zhongming said.
Although this task is not rare, a patrol task is repeated once a month, and it is performed 16 times, which can be tedious.
"Is that our observation equipment on the meteorite? How did it end up here? Chen Qingquan asked.
Xie Zhongming was excited, stared at the projection again, and found that it was indeed the case.
This is very wrong, although this observation device is a smart device, it also has backup energy and can move a certain distance, but it is very inappropriate to appear in this position.
This place is 300,000 kilometers away from the original meteorite's location, and it can get here, but I am afraid that it will be hit by some other meteorite.
"Now we have to be busy, not only to move it back to its original position, but also to inspect and repair the damaged areas." Xie Zhongming said with a sigh.
"Don't think about it, let's get to work!" Chen Qingquan quickly ordered a landing ship to fly out of the battleship at the front of the fleet, and the working robots that had been prepared on it would land on the small meteorite with a diameter of about 10 kilometers.
The observation equipment that had been previously arranged was re-adjusted, and if there were damaged parts, they would naturally need to be replaced.
Once completed, the meteorite will also need to be tied to a rope made of nanomaterials, and then the landing ship will be able to tow it back to its original position.
Xie Zhongming had already ordered the fleet to form a defensive formation and stop, waiting for the landing ship to complete the repair work.
More than ten minutes later, the landing ship dragged the meteorite back to its corresponding position, and the robot on it re-adjusted its equipment and aimed it at the target position in the galaxy.
After everything was processed, the landing ship returned to the battleship.
At this moment, the flagship brain suddenly issued a prompt.
"3rd Patrol Fleet, after the mission is completed, please use the space jump immediately and return to the Břibar system!"
"3rd Patrol Fleet, Mission ......"
This prompt was sent out three times in a row, according to the previous plan, there was an emergency at this time, and it was estimated that the fleet of the four-sided star warship civilization had already encountered the warning net.
Chen Qingquan immediately issued an order: "The whole fleet immediately sails away from the meteorite belt, and then immediately implements a space jump to the XXXX coordinates!" ”
The 100 captain-class warships quickly flew out of the meteorite belt, and as soon as they passed through the meteorite belt, they disappeared from this void as soon as their speed reached the standard.
By the time the 3rd Patrol Fleet returned to the edge of the Břibar system, 30 AU away from the Kuiper Belt of the Břibar civilization's home planet, it was already filled with warships.
This is the tail sweeping fleet led by Wang Dingnan, a total of 1,001 warships, divided into 10 patrol fleets, to maintain the observation system around this trap deployed in the home galaxy of the Buribar civilization to ensure that the results can be observed in the future when tigers and wolves fight.
As early as more than a year ago, Wang Dingnan's tail sweeping fleet assisted the Buribar civilization to complete the evacuation preparations, and received a batch of life spaceships customized for it by the Aeolian Empire.
This part of the tens of billions of people, who were left behind by the elite of the Buribar civilization, was quickly completed and sent away by Wang Dingnan and them.
Li Chunfeng helped the Buribals choose a galaxy 300 light-years away, which is an unnamed galaxy in the constellation Perseus, and it is not known whether there is a living planet.
They will first travel through a natural wormhole to the corresponding frontier system, and then use continuous space jumping, a full 100 light years after leaving the Břibar system, and then use a combination of faster-than-light travel to get there.
Wang Dingnan's tail sweeping fleet used the corresponding neutralization reactor to eliminate the remnants of space energy that might be left behind after they left, leaving no trace for the Kunpeng aircraft.
Now, I have received the news from the headquarters that the civilization of the four-edged star battleship has been discovered, and the estimated arrival time has been given, which is about two months away.
To this end, Wang Dingnan notified all the patrol fleets to return, and in view of the direction of the quadrangular star warship civilization, several galaxies along the road will be equipped with intelligent systems to transmit old-fashioned super-temporal communication signals, and at the moment when the quadrangular star battleship civilization arrives, it will intelligently turn on the transmission and reception.
After completing this arrangement, Wang Dingnan's fleet will arrive at a certain frontier galaxy through a series of natural wormholes, and then the receiving fleet sent by the headquarters will open the space gate, pick them up, and release the intelligent neutralization reactor to eliminate space energy.
At this time, it is the patrol fleet that has been dispatched to complete the corresponding patrol mission, as well as the latest arrangement of the instrument mission to transmit old-fashioned communication signals, and return to the outer periphery of the Kuiper Belt of the Buribar system, where there is a natural wormhole that leads to a galaxy farther away.
"Lao Wang, the fleet is all here, let's go!" After Sun Jiaming contacted and confirmed with the commanders of the patrol fleets, he said to Wang Dingnan.
"Well, it's time to go, the empire's construction achievements in the past year or so are still very good, I heard that 50,000 new warships have been built alone, and soon we will also have a fourth-level peak civilization with 100,000 warships." Wang Dingnan said.
From some databases of the Buribar civilization, it is found that the number of third-level civilized warships often reaches the scale of one million warships, and in the middle of the fourth level and above, the size of the fleet decreases.
The main reason is that the technology content of the battleship is higher, the cost of various construction has also increased sharply, the daily consumption and maintenance of the battleship is also astronomical, and the power of the battleship is also greater.
A fleet of 100 ships of mid-level civilization or above can easily crush a fleet of 100,000 warships of a third-level civilization.
Therefore, the higher the civilization level, the lower the size of the fleet.
This is somewhat similar to the fighter jets of the Earth era, the number of propeller aircraft in the era far exceeds that of the jet age, and the number of fighters has declined even more since the fifth generation of fighters.
However, there is one civilization that is an exception, and that is the mechanical civilization dominated by artificial intelligence, for which as long as they have the resources, it can take a while to build a huge number of warships.
"Hehe, in terms of the battleship's offensive and defensive capabilities, we estimate that we have stepped into the peak of the fifth-level civilization, but the shield of this four-sided star battleship is really magical, and I still haven't figured out what kind of situation can allow the ultimate annihilation attack to penetrate the past." Sun Jiaming said with a smile.
"You guy, have you studied like a scholar again? I don't think much about it, the Führer and a few great scientists will definitely find a way to do this.
Now, let's take one last look at this place, maybe after a big war, everything here will cease to exist. Wang Dingnan said, and couldn't help but sigh.
Through the projection screen, the two took one last look at the beautiful Buribal system, and then commanded the fleet to penetrate the natural wormhole.
++++++++++++++
In the vast interstellar space, two invisible faster-than-light trajectories crossed by, and an incomparably large fleet was sailing at an astonishing 200 times the speed of light.
In the center of the fleet in the two curvature spaces, there are silver-white metal battle stars the size of planets, and the entire surface of the planet is very quiet, and there is no activity.
Next to the battlestar, some of the battleships did not turn on their engines, so they slowly rotated around the battlestar like satellites, and it was clear that the gravitational pull of the battlestar was still like that of a planet.
Obviously, the mass of the two battle stars is still great and has not been hollowed out.
The surrounding warships are all in the shape of a quadrangular star, with a silvery-white metallic sheen, and the metal alloy used seems to be different from the usual black metal.
This is the huge fleet of the Quadrangular Battleship Civilization, and apparently the entire fleet has been reorganized after fleeing the X1 system in a hurry, and the fleet is divided into two and enters a state of faster-than-light flight.
"Drop, traces of intelligent life have been detected in the galaxy ahead, and the target area has been reached at a distance of one light year."
"Drop, the fleet is ready to sail faster than light!"
A mechanical synthesized sound spread throughout the fleet, and in less than a minute, an entire massive battleship emerged from the void.
The quadrangular star fleet suddenly broke away from the curvature space, and some invisible energy wave in the void rippled and quickly spread into the distance.
The fleet was divided into two formations, and around the two battle stars, there were more than a hundred thousand warships.
Soon, two small fleets of 1,000 ships each were separated from the formation and quickly flew towards the galaxy ahead.
And the Grand Fleet began to slow down, slowly sailing towards the galaxy. It seems that this four-sided star battleship civilization is still very careful.
The two small fleets returned to faster-than-light flight, and invisible trajectories rapidly extended from both directions, rapidly extending to the galaxy ahead.
In less than two days, a message reached the main fleet.
"It has been found that there are signs of intelligent life activity in the star system, but the intelligent life is suspected to have been evacuated, and there is no intelligent life in the galaxy."
"Rush to the next coordinate galaxy now!"
With the order of the synthesized sound, the entire large fleet, including the two small fleets that entered the galaxy, all re-entered the state of faster-than-light sailing, and directly advanced towards the depth of the Buribar civilization star field.
They did not notice that some camouflaged smart instruments had already begun to work.
When they arrived at the next galaxy, a black space hole appeared in the galaxy that had just passed, and a huge flying machine flew out of it.
"Hmph, there seem to be signs of small bug activity, and I've caught you now!"
