The Celer system, the home galaxy of the Cele civilization, is a galaxy with seven planets. Astronomers in the age of Earth named it the Bakui Four Galaxy.

Sailor is the third star in the galaxy, a planet twice the size of Earth, and the entire ocean covers two-thirds of the planet.

Viewed from space, the entire planet emits a brilliant blue light of life, which is the light of life for carbon-based creatures.

The Kingdom of Sail has gone through 20,000 years of development, and in the last four or five hundred years, science and technology have developed rapidly as if they had an accelerator, rapidly entering space and growing into a mid-level 5 civilization.

The entire planet of Salee is home to 11 billion people, and it has always been the most prosperous and wealthy planet of the Cele civilization.

The royal palace of the Kingdom of Sale has a long history, and although it has entered the middle of the fifth level, many parts of this royal palace still maintain its original historical appearance.

"Your Majesty, I have just received many warnings that many galaxies in the remote frontier areas of the empire have been attacked by unknown people, and the population has all disappeared!"

"What?! The population is gone? Quick, ring the warning bell immediately, I want to hold a meeting of important ministers! ”

……

"When—when—"

In the bell tower of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Sale, the bronze bell that has been passed down for 10,000 years rang.

This is an ancient tradition in the Kingdom of Sale, and when the country is in an emergency, this warning bell will be sounded, and it will be struck a total of nineteen times.

After the warning bell sounded, the royal ministers, wise men, and great scientists of the kingdom, all who were in the capital, would rush to the round table meeting hall in the palace within half an hour to discuss how to deal with the emergency.

The last such meeting was convened by King Snorr more than 60 years ago, and the theme of the meeting was to discuss how the kingdom should deal with the stagnation of technological development.

The round table hall is a 360-degree spherical hall, with a high platform around the center, forming a terraced seat in a circle, and the speaker speaks on the high platform in the center.

At this moment, King Snowr stood on the central platform, looking around at the old ministers who had been seated around him, the wise men of the kingdom, and the great scientists in various fields, and the fear in his heart was gone.

If there are these people in the kingdom, why should we fear the unknown enemy?

For more than 100 years, the kingdom's exploration fleet has spanned almost thousands of light years, controlled the core territory to a diameter of 200 light years, captured a total of 9 intelligent races, and almost none of them can reach the fifth level of civilization, and the strongest Westminster civilization has only stepped into it with one foot.

Now, it has also been wiped out by the kingdom's fleet. Stepping on the corpse of the Westminster civilization, in the past 20 years, the kingdom's long-stagnant scientific and technological development has made great progress.

Obviously, war has a kind of catalyst for the development of science and technology, and if you become the winner of the war, the benefits are numerous.

Although the technology level of the Westminster civilization is not as good as that of the kingdom, and it has not even fully stepped into the fifth-level civilization, there are also many scientific and technological fields that make up for the lack of the kingdom.

Moreover, some common research fields also have different perspectives and ideas from the Kingdom's scientists, which have brought a lot of wonderful ideas to the Kingdom's scientists.

This is still not the core database of Westminster civilization, otherwise the benefits will be even greater.

It is these benefits that have laid the foundation for the rapid development of the kingdom in the past 20 years, and of course, the brain domain technology is still improving, which has also helped the development of the kingdom.

Not to mention, in the past 20 years, the kingdom has given birth to more than a dozen great scientists, which is almost equivalent to the sum of the kingdom in the past 100 years.

Thinking of this, Snorr was a little worried about Garlop, the great scientist who went to the remote Hiro system, the unknown enemy attacked the remote galaxy, and I don't know if the convoy sent before has arrived? Will you be able to protect Garlop?

As Snoll was worried, a voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, what kind of important matter has been summoned here today to be discussed?"

Snorr glanced over and found that it was the leader of the wise men of the kingdom, the great wise man Solphis.

He replied, "Wise Solphaus, I have gathered you again today because the kingdom is being invaded by an unknown enemy.

Fifteen remote systems have been discovered to be attacked by unknown enemies, and the system's guards have been wiped out and the population has been taken captive. ”

King Snow's words suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the entire round table hall began to discuss, obviously unable to believe that the extremely powerful Salee civilization also had a sneak attack on the core territory.

"Why can't I find the enemy?"

"This is simply a disgrace to the civilization of Sale!"

"It's always us who robbed others, but this time we were robbed by an unknown enemy?"

"If you want to get around some galaxies without being detected by our fleet, it seems that the enemy should have space technology, at least be able to make space jumps."

"Possess space technology? Could that be higher than the tech level of our Cele civilization? ”

"Probably not!" In the midst of the discussion, the discussion of the scientists became more and more noticeable, and Hammore, as the leader of the scientists, also joined the discussion.

"We also have space jumping equipment, but that doesn't mean we've mastered space technology, and our research in recent years has shown that if space technology can be developed to the middle stage, then its civilization level will be at least level six.

If a sixth-level civilization were to launch an attack on the Cele civilization, they would not use this kind of sneak attack tactic at all, and they could easily destroy us. ”

At this time, when he said this, everyone suddenly felt a little relieved.

As long as it is not a sixth-level civilization, then the Cele civilization will completely dare to fight against it, and if there is a chance to win, it is likely that the Cele civilization will win the opportunity to step into the sixth-level civilization.

"That's right, if the other party is a sixth-level civilization, how can they be so sneaky? And a remote galaxy that attacked us. ”

"So, how do we find them? Or how to protect against their attacks? ”

"Well, the territory of our civilization is too vast for the fleet to be fortified everywhere."

"How can you complain that our territory is too big? The fleet can always do a minimum of cruises, right? As long as you intensify your cruise, you won't be able to spot the enemy's tracks. ”

"It's not that simple, now that the galaxies are far apart, how can the fleet cruise? Our space jump technology is difficult to jump 5 times in a row, even if it is 5 times, but each time it is only 3 light-years at most, and 5 times is only 15 light-years, and the distance between many of our galaxies exceeds this distance. ”

"Then combine space jumping with faster-than-light travel, wouldn't it?"

……

Seeing that everyone was once again in discussions and quarrels, King Snorr couldn't help but shake his head, just now he felt that these people were trustworthy and could rely on them to meet the challenges of unknown enemies, but now this noisy and noisy appearance was like a scoop of cold water poured on his head.

"Everyone, please be still!"

The great wise man Sollphes shouted softly, and when he saw that everyone was gradually quieting down, he continued: "Everyone, today is here to discuss this matter, if you have any ideas, please raise your hand to speak, don't discuss below, now that the enemy is present, please plan for the country with your heart."

Now, if you have any further information about the enemy, will your Majesty the King speak? ”

King Snorr nodded slightly, agreed with Solfis's words, and then pointed to a person in the front row and said: "On behalf of the military, Prince Starr will explain the situation of the unknown enemy in detail, and tell the military the preliminary plan, please discuss it." ”

The man standing in the front row was none other than the military general, Prince Starr, who was 1.49 meters tall, with a rounder face and darker gray skin than most Salers. His eyes were smaller, but the flickering eyes were fierce.

Prince Starr walked quickly to the high platform, faced everyone present, and said: "According to the information obtained by the military, the invaded galaxies discovered so far are all remote galaxies, and their locations are all located in all directions of the kingdom.

Therefore, the first thing that can be confirmed is that the other party has a certain amount of space technology, and it is more advanced than our space jump!

Of the 15 invaded galaxies, there are only two systems with warships stationed there, and there are no more than 100 warships, and these warships have been completely wiped out, without any wreckage at all.

Therefore, the second thing that can be confirmed is that the other side has mastered the technology of quantum annihilation.

Judging from the traces of the opponent's attack on the surface of the planet, the opponent's land combat force is extremely powerful, and it should be a robot soldier with intelligence. At the same time, the other party is very interested in the mainframe computers in various parts of the planet, and all of them are dismantled by the other party, apparently cracking our intelligent brain defense system.

Therefore, the third thing that can be confirmed is that the other party also dares to boldly apply computer intelligence, and the technology is more advanced than ours.

The above are the things that the military can infer and confirm based on the current situation.

In addition, we have received an urgent message from Prince Steele before, mentioning that he was suddenly attacked by a fleet of unknown civilizations, and the other party also appeared suddenly in the form of a space jump, and it is obvious that he was confronted by the enemy who attacked our galaxy this time.

It's a pity that Prince Steele didn't have time to transmit the image information back, obviously the opponent's attack from the beginning to the end, the time is too short, it can be seen that the opponent's attack power is strong.

With the combat power of our fleet, it is very difficult to destroy a fleet of 30,000 warships in such a short period of time, unless a large number of quantum annihilation shells are fired regardless of the cost, in order to form a large-scale quantum annihilation ripple, so as to destroy a fleet of this size.

Therefore, the military believes that this enemy is very strong. As for why they would attack the kingdom's remote systems, it is impossible to guess their intentions for the time being.

But we can take this opportunity to evacuate the population of all remote galaxies as soon as possible, shrink up, and build a core defense line 100 light-years around the kingdom's home galaxy, which should be able to ensure cruising with the current number of warships and protect the 100-light-year diameter sphere of the star field. ”

Prince Starr put together the military's analysis and the corresponding core defense plan in one breath, then looked at everyone, and finally said: "Please think carefully, especially the wise men, to see if there are any omissions in the core defense plan. ”

"May I ask Prince Starr, doesn't your plan mean that the kingdom has given up half of its territory? This is too timid and afraid, and the soldiers of the kingdom should defend every inch of the kingdom's territory. ”

"Yes, before this cannon was fired, half of the galaxy was abandoned, and it shrank to 100 light-years in diameter, so afraid of the enemy, then if the core defense line can't be defended, the strategic depth of 50 light-years will not allow the enemy to easily hit the capital galaxy?"

"This core defense plan is too child's play, and I can't accept it."

"That's it, why did you give up so many galaxies?"

"You know, the opponent can jump in space, what if the opponent jumps through this line of defense?"

"yes, a galaxy with a radius of 50 light years, how do you build this line of defense? There are still a lot of loopholes. ”

"No, 50 light-years away, it seems that something has been being built in recent years, and I heard that many planets seem to have been relocated, but it's a big deal."

"Could it be that the construction of this line of defense has already begun?"
