The craft was later learned of by Professor Manlim, who studied extraterrestrial creatures, and he lobbied the Republican Academy of Sciences to send the old exploration ship to scientific exploration.

As for the military of the Republic, it has been completely dragged down by the war in the triangular galaxy, and it is eager that any warship that can be used will be used on the front line, otherwise this kind of thing will not be handed over to the Academy of Sciences to do.

Fortunately, the military has the support of General Barr, and the exploration ship is equipped with a newly developed space jump device, otherwise with the speed of the exploration ship, in the face of a distance of 24 light years, it can only sigh with joy.

The Republic's Space Jumping Device has a distance of 0.5 light-years per jump, which consumes a lot of energy, and after each jump, it needs to wait for the energy to be refilled and recovered before it can be used again.

With the power of the exploration ship's fusion reactor, it will take ten days each time to fully charge the jumping device.

During the energy recovery period, the old fusion engines can only be relied on for conventional sailing.

Previously, the "Ayimi" had only completed its jump for two days, so it could only carry out regular sailing, which is why Bar Zhengyuan understood from the beginning that conventional sailing could not run.

Otherwise, as a son of his military family, how could he take such a risk?

Now it's rushing upward, in case the other side doesn't have the ability to detect beyond the speed of light, won't the "Ayimi" staggered with the other party?

In case the other party has the technology to discover the "Ayimi" and is a well-intentioned civilization, then he will have made a great contribution, and he will definitely be able to come out on top in the next election within the clan.

Bar Zhengyuan looked at the starry sky outside the porthole of the exploration ship, and his mind turned over and over again thinking about various situations and the possibility of gains and losses.

At this moment, the hatch of the command room opened, and Qi Lan walked in quickly, and said to Professor Manlim, "Professor Manlim, that device has been redrawn again, and it has found that the faster-than-light trajectory has extended faster than we expected. ”

"Is it slow, or is it fast?" Bar Zhengyuan was thrilled when he heard this, and blurted out a question.

"It's coming! It is estimated that their speed should exceed that of the Republic fleet, reaching 50 times the speed of light! Qilan said quickly.

"Shhh

This means that the other party's technological level is above the republic, and if they have malicious intentions towards the republic, then it can be said that in an instant, the republic may be wiped out by the other party!

You must know that the entire military power of the Republic is now fighting against the Celestial Shadow Star in the Triangular Galaxy, from the border galaxy Cyptic and the galaxy to the capital galaxy Buribar Galaxy, at a distance of more than 120 light years, there are almost no decent fleets.

"Quick! Immediately issue a special alert to the headquarters of the military of the republic! Report back the faster-than-light speed of the unknown fleet! Professor Manlim was also anxious, and hurriedly ordered Qilan.

As soon as Qi Lan went out, a male intelligent being, wearing some kind of uniform, walked in, and after saluting Professor Manlim and Bar Zhengyuan, he said, "Both, is there any further news about the unknown fleet?" ”

"Captain Yin Lie, I just calculated that the speed of the unknown fleet can travel faster than the speed of light to 50 times the speed of light, and the opponent's combat power may be above the Republic fleet. We've sent a special alert to the military. Professor Manlim said.

"So, what are your plans for such a fleet?" Yin Lie asked.

"In my capacity as a diplomatic envoy of the Republic, I intend to negotiate with the unknown fleet, informing the other party that this is the territory of the Republic, and hoping that they will stop advancing." Bar Zhengyuan said.

Yin Lie stared at Bar Zhengyuan, and said for a while: "Courage is commendable. But it's useless, and the other party won't pay attention.

We have only two options, one is to surrender, and the other is to refuse to board the ship and be eliminated. I hope that by then, you will show the courage that the Barr family deserves. ”

After finishing speaking, Yin Lie turned around and walked out of the command room, and when he reached the door, he said another word.

"In the republic, the surname Barr cannot be tarnished!"

Looking at the re-closed hatch, Bar Zhengyuan smiled dumbly, this Yin Lie was arranged by his grandfather, and it is said that he is a ruthless character in the Marine Corps.

As for the status of the Bar surname in the republic, Bar Zhengyuan, as a descendant of the Bar family, knows best that the republic was established under the joint hands of the two major families of Buribar.

In addition to the Balse, the surname Buzh cannot be tarnished in the republic.

Professor Manlim looked at Bar Zhengyuan and comforted: "Zhengyuan, your Bal family dominates the military world, and these soldiers are all admirers of the generals of the Bar family, so it is understandable to speak like this. ”

Obviously, Professor Manlim was worried about the young and vigorous Bar Zhengyuan, and he was jealous of Marine Captain Yin Lie, which would affect his development in the military circles of the Republic.

As for his own student, Professor Manlim likes it from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he is smart, and he is very hard-working, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the Barr family. Unlike some Barr sidelines, they always do annoying things under the banner of the Barr family.

Therefore, Professor Manlim has focused on cultivating him in all aspects, hoping that Bar Zhengyuan will one day stand out from the great competition in the world and become the brightest pearl of the Bar family.

At that time, as the teacher of this pearl, it will also be a supreme honor.

"Teacher, I understand."

"If the other side asks us to surrender, do you think about how to deal with it?" Professor Manlim asked.

"I will propose that I, the envoy, be taken hostage, and ask them to let you go. In any case, it is necessary to delay as much as possible to give the military time to adjust the deployment. Bar Zhengyuan said.

"I hope they are well-intentioned." Professor Manlim sighed.

++++++++++++++

After half a year of searching for natural wormholes and preparing in various aspects, the orbits of the two planets in the Tianyuan Galaxy have been getting closer and closer.

Li Chunfeng decided to leave the Tian Yuan Galaxy and set off towards a selected star system.

In half a year, although only Planet C in the galaxy can safely mine various mineral deposits, the addition of asteroids in the Kuiper Belt is enough to complete a new round of shipbuilding programs.

The Aeolus Empire has completed the construction of another 11,000 general-class warships and 2,000 Emperor-class warships, and the transport ships are also full of various supplies.

In half a year, the search fleet around the Tian Yuan Galaxy has never detected a new natural wormhole, and it is obvious that there are only two ways to leave the Tian Yuan Galaxy.

One is to sail at a faster-than-light curvature, and the other is to use a new space-jumping device.

After hard work, Li Chunfeng and the three big scientists finally completed the development and manufacturing of the space jumping device, and tested it accordingly.

The space jump device of the Aeolian Empire uses a composite energy furnace to independently supply energy, and can carry out space jumps with a minimum of 10 astronomical units and a maximum distance of 1 light year.

Of course, the premise is to first find the overlap point of two space energy that are far apart, and then the energy is sufficient, so that the space jump can be started and the passage of the battleship or fleet can be completed.

That is, if it is not a one-time operation, if the energy provided by the reactive substances in the energy furnace is used up at full power, and two new space points can always be found, and the remaining energy is sufficient, then space jumps can be performed continuously.

In addition, the method of fixing the space door considered by Li Chunfeng is also possible, but after calculation, the energy required to maintain the space door through the two points of the space is very huge, and I am afraid that such a huge, or a large number of composite energy furnaces cannot be built in a battleship.

However, if a living planet is found in the future and a new home is found, then it should be possible to build such a space gate between two fixed planets.

With this space jumping device, the fleet of the Aeolian Empire will henceforth have the ability to maneuver tactically, and in a large-scale interstellar battle, it will be able to carry out a certain range of maneuver operations.

For this reason, the Imperial General Staff has not only conducted many exercises in the virtual world, but also developed some corresponding campaign modes.

Of course, for human commanders, these campaign modes are conducive to their battlefield play and response, and for the battleship brain, they add more response plans.

After the successful use of the energy provided by the composite energy furnace on the space jumping device, Li Chunfeng experimented with the use of the composite energy furnace to supply energy to the space jumping device.

As a result, it was found that the spatial transition was unstable, and it could be said that there were many problems in the test, either because there was a problem with the distance of the jump, or there was a problem with the direction of the jump.

Another time was even more amazing, when the jump came back, only half of the battleship was left, and the other half was gone, and the entire battleship was cut by a sharp blade.

Seeing this situation, Li Chunfeng decisively suspended the experiment, obviously the principle of space jump is completely different from the principle of space jump that he has studied.

According to Li Chunfeng's space theory, between the two space energy overlapping points, it must be connected by the beginning sine wave, and at present, in space, Li Chunfeng has not found that there is a situation where the beginning sine wave is connected to the planet.

Therefore, the principle used by this space transition device of this advanced civilization picked up by the Iceman is definitely not Li Chunfeng's space theory. Judging from the appearance of the Iceman battleship in the earth's crust, it is more like the replacement of matter at two points in space.

This kind of theory obviously involves a deeper theory of space and material origins, and if a new home is found in the future, when the empire can settle down, it may take time to study it, and now, there will be no waste of time and energy.

Therefore, the space transition device is still preserved as a strategic mobile force. However, after having the space jumping device, Li Chunfeng slightly relaxed the use of energy.

In the past six months, a number of general-class warships have been dispatched to find some of the nearest star systems through space jumps to determine which direction to go next.

After surveying a total of seven star systems in the vicinity within 30 light years, Li Chunfeng chose Galaxy 6, which is 24 light years away from the Tian Yuan Galaxy.

Most crucially, the Admiral-class battleship has found traces of intelligent beings in the system!

As soon as this discovery was made known within the Empire, it aroused great interest among the citizens of the Empire, and everyone wanted to see what the aliens here were like, what the level of civilization was, and whether they could interact peacefully.

So far, the human beings on Earth have come into contact with a number of alien civilizations, such as the Xiantang Civilization, the Shenmu Empire, the Bear Man Civilization, the Tianyuan Civilization, the Kunpeng Civilization, and the Brown Algae Civilization, which are either weak, extinct, or stronger than the original Earth humans.

The two civilizations that are stronger than the human beings on the earth, the fleet and the earthlings met, and almost without saying a word, they went to war directly.

And the high-level Kunpeng civilization has taken measures to exterminate it for no reason, and as for the brown algae consciousness life, it will not hesitate to attack humans.

This made the citizens of the Aeolian Empire always feel that the universe really pursued the laws of the dark forest? Is it really impossible to engage in peaceful interactions?

For this reason, Li Chunfeng and Xiangbo of the Xiantang Civilization and Shangqi of the Shenmu Empire have communicated again, and the answer of the two is that the basis of peace must be equal in strength between each other, that is, no one can destroy each other, and only then can there be equal peace.

Otherwise, the weaker side will either be enslaved or exterminated, and there will be no third way.
