Chapter 416: The Last R Countryman
Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Do you remember the light bridge of the Nine Star Bead Array of the Gold Swallowing Beast?" One end of it is facing the Andromeda River system, and I think there's some cause and effect in that.
Maybe we need to go to the Andromeda River system, which is 1.8 million light-years away, and we need to plan ahead.
So we can use this as a bridgehead area, and now that we're here, let's explore the perimeter. ”
Sun Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Understood, Führer." I will arrange for the fleet to go to the nearest star system first, and then use the space gate to send a batch of 'Pathfinder 8' to build a large-scale monitoring network. ”
Li Chunfeng nodded and let Sun Xiaoyun busy.
+++++++++
A few days later, the fleet sailed faster than light towards a star system.
The "Pathfinder 8" released during this period has discovered many star systems, and this star system is one of the most suitable bases to build.
In the footage sent back by Pathfinder 8, at least two planets in this galaxy are in the habitable zone and can be modified for habitability.
At the same time, it also has three gas giants, which can provide a large amount of energy materials.
Although the empire has begun to gradually use dark energy furnaces, it has not yet reached the level of full popularity, on the one hand, it takes time to produce and update, and on the other hand, there is no need to use the latest dark energy technology on the civilian side.
Therefore, the energy composition of the Aeolian Empire has gradually formed two modes, and the dark energy energy furnace is preferentially used in the military, such as warships, space gates, etc.
The original antimatter energy source will continue to be used in the civilian field, and only some of it will be used in the manufacture of antimatter shells or bombs.
Nowadays, several super artificial intelligence has completely spread out the army of intelligent robots within the territory of the empire, and a large number of various resources have been turned into new robots, new warships, and new facilities, which in turn have brought faster production efficiency in certain fields, such as warship production.
However, the Empire has now planned its resource exploitation accordingly to avoid over-mining near habitable planets, which could lead to some unforeseen disasters.
At present, the empire has made some progress in the study of cosmic strings, and basically those places where galaxies can be formed must have existed in the cosmic strings first.
However, there seems to be some kind of relationship between this circle cosmic string and galaxies, and if the planets inside the galaxy are seriously damaged, the cosmic chord may change, which will bring about the instability of the galaxy.
Therefore, the empire now basically no longer carries out excessive resource exploitation for those galaxies with habitable planets, so as to protect the overall stability of the galaxy where the habited planet is located.
Fortunately, the growth of the empire's population is far from keeping up with the expansion of the empire's territory, and there are not many galaxies that need to be protected.
It was based on these factors that Sun Xiaoyun selected this galaxy and gave it a number, naming it S819 galaxy.
After learning that the Führer was safe and sound, the major legions that were still searching in the chasm star field beyond the silver plate had all withdrawn.
But they are not in storage, and these legions of the Empire are exploring in two directions along the Centaur Arm and the Perseus Arm.
At the same time, the Silver Heart Expeditionary Corps led by Zhuo Yuan had already set off during this time, followed by the second echelon of Dang Haochen's Fourth Legion. The Aeolus Empire has put on a posture of taking over the entire galaxy.
After all, now the Empire has obtained a new space gate technology from the Gold Eater Beast, and the maximum distance of the space gate across space has reached 20,000 light years.
Originally, when the space gate used such an ultra-long-distance space span, its energy consumption was extremely terrifying.
It is no wonder that there were so many gold-swallowing beasts in the Canis Major dwarf galaxy at that time, but only one group was sent to the Perseus Arm, and after it developed locally, a new group was assigned to the Orion Arm Buribal Star Field.
As a result, this branch was almost completely wiped out by Li Chunfeng, and soon after its main clan withdrew this remnant of the army and returned to the Immortal Arm, it began to attack the Nar Alliance.
In the end, it was discovered and pursued by the Aeolian Empire again, and chased all the way to the Canis Major dwarf galaxy, and was finally wiped out.
However, now, after combining this space door technology with the space door channel technology of the Anemo God Empire, the energy consumption is greatly reduced, so that the Aeolian Empire can build ultra-long-range space gate passages.
Therefore, Zhuoyuan's Silver Heart Expeditionary Legion can directly cross the dark chasm to build transit galaxies, without spending a lot of time waiting for the construction of transit stations to be completed.
Now when Zhuo Yuan's legion will arrive in the Silver Heart area only depends on the speed of the Dos Civilization Fleet, and even Zhuo Yuan has begun to send reconnaissance ships to explore the front in advance.
At this time, Li Chunfeng's fleet of Führers began to move towards the S819 galaxy.
From the spiral arm edge galaxy that was temporarily parked before, first jumping through space, to 9 light years away from the S819 galaxy, Li Chunfeng noticed that there seemed to be three more galaxies around this galaxy, so he asked the fleet to sail faster than light and continue the next 9 light years.
Li Chunfeng also deliberately marked a trajectory in the star map and let the fleet sail along this trajectory.
This trajectory is not the shortest straight-line distance, but it will pass within 3 light-years of three star systems. In this way, fleets traveling faster than the speed of light can scan nearby star systems with certain probes.
When these three star systems were screened before, Sun Xiaoyun gave that the stars were all in an unstable period, one of them was a star that had not been born for a long time, one was in the middle of a red giant, and the other was in the state of a white dwarf, so he directly ruled it out, and even "Pathfinder 8" was not dispatched.
Originally, it was planned that after the fleet arrived in the S819 system, it would arrange for reconnaissance ships to explore the three galaxies.
It's just that Li Chunfeng saw the situation of the star map and felt that the fleet was just going to pass through these galaxies, so he simply planned the route and sailed in a faster-than-light mode, or he could complete the preliminary reconnaissance by the way.
It only takes 12 more days to leave or right, and Li Chunfeng is not in a hurry, so he just feels it.
Since the improvement of space technology in the Aeolian Empire, space jumping and space gate technology have been used more and more, and after the establishment of space gate passages, the way of faster-than-light travel has become less and less.
After all, the space gate passage can save a lot of time, and even if there is no space gate passage, if it is not ultra-long-range, it will use space jumps or space jumps to complete the voyage.
Previously, it was also entangled in saving energy, but in the past two months, after the battleships began to replace the dark energy energy furnace in batches, energy is no longer a limitation, and the fleet commanders of the Aeolian Empire have become more and more fond of using space jumps for interstellar voyages.
Li Chunfeng's Führer fleet, except for the two Star-class battleships, has not yet had time to complete the replacement of the dark energy energy furnace, so it still needs to save some energy.
The Führer's fleet passed through the vicinity of two galaxies in a row, scanning and probing, and sure enough, it was the same as predicted, and it was indeed unlikely that any life could be born in such an extreme stage of the star.
Just as the fleet was about to pass through the last star system and head to the destination S819 galaxy, the fleet brain suddenly issued a prompt.
"There are signs of life on the fourth planet in a nearby galaxy!"
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but be surprised, the stars of this star system are white dwarfs, and there shouldn't be enough light and heat to supply the living planet.
He immediately ordered: "The whole fleet turns, gets out of the state of faster-than-light sailing, and prepares to jump directly into this galaxy in space." ”
"Yes, master!" After the brain responded, it immediately cooperated with the whole fleet of brain brains to respond, and the fleet suddenly broke away from the state of faster-than-light sailing, and then jumped in space and left this void.
In the galaxy 3 light-years away, in space near the fourth planet, a huge fleet suddenly appeared, and all the warships were giants.
What's even more shocking is the center of the fleet, the planet-sized battle star.
Li Chunfeng's fleet of Führers was one astronomical unit away from the fourth planet, so as to avoid the gravitational pull of the battle star from affecting the fourth planet too much.
Not long after the fleet appeared, Sun Xiaoyun had already sent a small fleet of 100 warships to fly to the planet.
At this time, the fleet's detection instruments had further locked on to the source of life information.
"Führer, the signs of life have been locked on the northern hemisphere of this planet near the equator, and the reconnaissance fleet will send 'Tempest 4' and will also launch 'Pathfinder 8' to cover the entire planet." Sun Xiaoyun reported to Li Chunfeng.
Seeing that Zhi Brain had prepared the corresponding projections, Li Chunfeng turned to those projections, and at this time, the reconnaissance fleet had arrived in the outer space of the planet, and the "Pathfinder 8" was launched, quickly covering the entire surface of the planet.
Immediately, images of the planet's surface began to be transmitted back and projected.
The planet has a small atmosphere, but not enough for life to breathe carefree. What really has the potential to make life on this planet possible is the large area of glacial lakes.
It can be seen that the planet was once supposed to be a living planet, with lakes and oceans, and an atmosphere, but after the collapse of the stars of the galaxy, it gradually fell into ice.
"Maybe the information of life comes from some kind of life that miraculously survived in some lake frozen in ice." Sun Xiaoyun muttered.
Li Chunfeng originally wanted to agree with Sun Xiaoyun's words, but suddenly found that a picture flashed, and immediately said: "Zhi Brain, redisplay the picture just now and enlarge it!" ”
In projection, the image is played back and then zoomed in freeze-frame.
"Oh my God! This is...... The national emblem of the R country? This turned out to be ...... The first generation of life-class ships! Sun Xiaoyun exclaimed excitedly.
In the picture, a life-class spaceship appears to be buried under an ice field, with only a part of the ice sheet exposed, and the entire height is more than 30 meters high.
Due to the extremely smooth material of the life-class ship's hull, the ice and snow cannot adhere to it, and this inky hull color is very noticeable on a snow-white ice field.
On this part of the hull that exposes the ice field, there is obviously the emblem of the Rising Sun of the R country in the Earth Age!
"Master, this is where the information of life comes from!" The brain gives prompts at the right time.
The first generation of life-class spacecraft used a nuclear fusion energy furnace, and the energy substances added at one time can be used for no more than 100 years.
The fleet of country R has been sailing for nearly 90 years, and it is not known whether energy substances have been added, and it is in a state of crash, although there is still life information, the state is certainly not optimistic.
Li Chunfeng ordered with a solemn face: "Immediately send a landing ship to rescue the personnel in the life-level spaceship!" ”
"Yes, master!" Zhi Brain replied.
Then the small fleet, which was already in the orbit of the planet, immediately sent 20 landing ships and landed with a large number of interstellar marine regiments.
"Führer, it seems that the fleet of country R fled in this direction back then, and it was possible to leave the solar system so far away with stargate technology, but why is there only this one life-level spaceship left?
Could it be that they were hit by some kind of accident on the way? And then only this one fell on this planet? Sun Xiaoyun guessed.
Li Chunfeng thought for a while, and ordered: "Zhi Brain, send a warship to explore the other planets and larger moons of this galaxy to see if there are any man-made objects." ”
"Führer, do you want to find out if there are any other life-class ships crashing in this system? At the beginning, the population of country R was no longer large, and it seemed that there were only three life-level spaceships, and the population of the whole country was shipped.
In addition, there are 10 medium-sized warships of the Divine Eye Empire, and there are only 13 warships and ships in the entire fleet, so they shouldn't be scattered everywhere and crashed, right? Sun Xiaoyun said.
At this time, 20 landing ships have landed near the life-class spaceship, and a large number of robot soldiers of the Interstellar Marine Corps have begun to enter the life-class spaceship.
Just over ten minutes later, a message was returned.
"There was only one survivor found, a woman!"
