Chapter 224: The Great Astrolabe

This is a super-large asteroid belt, with countless dense asteroids of different shapes clustered together in an extremely dense manner. As far as visual inspection is concerned, the largest is no more than 100 kilometers, and the small ones are even only a few meters. They are clustered and relatively stationary, converging in a huge discβ€”like Saturn's rings.

The composition of these large and small asteroids is also extremely complex, solid ice, solid nitrogen, solid oxygen, metals, rocks, crystals, at a glance, people have a feeling of "this place is not a gathering of the periodic table".

Hao Shen was stunned for a while, and then he reacted, ", what's the situation in this place?" ”

This place doesn't look like a natural cosmic landscape by any means.

The formation of the universe originated from the singularity explosion, the material that exploded from the singularity is diffused outward in the smallest unit, and in the process of cooling, these substances are combined and condensed to form various elements in nature, which accumulate together and finally condense into the appearance of celestial bodies under the gravitational force formed by the mass - just like our solar system, in the beginning, the solar system was just a mass of material air, and after billions of years of natural movement to form the appearance of stars and nine planets, and according to their respective composition and mass, and the gravitational wave effect eventually formed their respective positions and rotational parameters, and then in the future, they will be merged again with the revolution and the burning of the star, turning into a red giant star - this is the natural law of the movement of celestial bodies, converging, orbiting, and reconverging.

And what about this thing in front of you? They filled the space so densely that it was as if their movement and mass effect had completely vanished.

"You seem surprised?" Reston looked at Hao Shen's surprised appearance and said with a smile: "No wonder, I think most people will show this kind of expression when they see our home planet." ”

"It's normal to have such an expression. This doesn't fit into the most basic physics, does it? Hao Shen pointed to the exaggerated scene in front of him and shouted: "And the number of these asteroids is too much, what did you do before?" Did you find hundreds of planets to blow up here, and then play with mud? ”

"How is it possible, if we can do such a thing, do you think we will still be afraid of the Twisted Legion?" Reston smiled, "Actually, don't talk about you, even when the Motcree civilization first looked into the universe, it was taken a big surprise and almost overthrew all the astronomical and physical systems that took hundreds of years to build." It refutes almost all the theories we have calculated about the role of natural gravity. ”

"And then? How did you build the space system based on this environment? Hao Shen asked suspiciously, interstellar voyage is not just a matter of getting a rocket to hit people, it requires a more complex exploration of the universe and the accumulation of knowledge, and in this situation around the home star of the Motklee civilization, there is obviously no way to obtain correct interstellar information.

"It's very simple, we can only sigh at the magic of nature, and then cut the scientific research projects related to natural gravity and astrophysics." Reston said as a matter of course.

Hao Shen: "......... Ha? ”

And this way of operating? No, this thing is just a fool, cut down those projects, where did you get these ships and fleets?

Looking at Hao Shen's strange eyes, Reston said calmly: "It's just that the research on those projects has been temporarily stopped, this doesn't mean that we have given up exploring the starry sky - we are not a civilization that only relies on natural science, and in addition to science, we are still a race that is good at magic." When scientific exploration can't give the right answer, we just need to take a different route until we get the real answer. ”

Hao Shen suddenly realized, "I see, I almost forgot, you are still a magic race, and you are a dual-technology tree...... Along the way, I saw that you were all strong ships and cannons, and I almost forgot that you were actually mages. ”

Reston shrugged.

Cecilia had a different opinion, she wanted to explain that if she didn't know magic, she had to be a mage and maybe a knight, but seeing that Reston didn't explain, she couldn't speak.

"By the way, speaking of which......" Reston looked behind Hao Shen and asked curiously, "Why didn't a few of your companions come?" ”

"They, no matter how busy they are, don't care about their ......"

"Oh, that's so busy." A twinkle flashed in Reston's eyes.

Hao Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth.

It's not so much that they're busy, it's that they're the busiest. Lilith was not interested in approaching Reston and the others, Hathaway avoided Reston at all, Bengus wanted to come, but the other two were missing the landlord...... It's just him, a busy group of people running around.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although this large astrolabe has phenomena and landscapes that cannot be explained by astrophysics, and has also hindered the development of our science, we still have to be grateful for it. Reston didn't delve too far into the issue, and he once again pulled the topic down to the asteroid debris belt in front of him. After all, it is also because of its unique environment that it provides us with unimaginable resources for development. ”

This is true, with the unique environment of the Great Astrolabe and the abundant natural resources, it is completely enough for the Motkle civilization to go back and forth between the two technology trees for several cycles.

"After talking for a long time, where is your real home planet? The Great Astrolabe must be around your home planet, right? Hao Shen asked curiously.

"Pretty much. The Great Astrolabe is centered on a vibrant star, and our parent star is inside the Great Astrolabe, and there are about a thousand astronomical units in terms of distance. It was a very beautiful planet, in an empty but not lonely area, with beautiful blue and red scenery, the sea, the land, the ice fields, the islands, and the delicious rice dragon fruit......" Reston's eyes wandered slightly, as if he was reminiscing about the scenery of his hometown that he had not seen in more than twenty years.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Hao Shen: "But, I'm sorry, we can't officially introduce the home planet to you for the time being, because before that, we have to recapture the home planet first." ”

"Uh, understood, understood." Hao Shen sneered.

"Report! Your Excellency Legion Commander! The vanguard has arrived in the planned area and is setting up front-line positions, which are expected to be ready for an attack in three hours. Our operations went undetected by the Twisted Legion, and the stealth plan went well. ”

A virtual image of a heavily armored knight appears in front of Reston, making a report.

"Very good, order the first attack echelon, start to enter the big astrolabe, touch a batch first, and wait for the position to be prepared, and strive to damage the enemy to the greatest extent!"

"Yes!"

With the issuance of the order, the entire huge fleet quickly began to move, the large forces began to dock at the pre-set target location, and the huge military factory sent countless engineering fleets and unmanned robots to dig up their various materials and resources from the asteroids on the periphery of the large astrolabe, and then process them on the spot, build their various parts and components at an unimaginable speed, and finally form a temporary but reliable command position.

On the other hand, there were about a hundred spaceships, and they quietly flew into the big astrolabe, shuttling between the dense asteroids, flying into the distance.

The war is about to begin.
