A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for Zhu Lei and them to prepare to set off, this time the total number of Orion Nebula spaceships sent by the Ming Empire has reached tens of thousands, you must know that most of these spaceships are mothership-level spaceships, which is in stark contrast to Zhu Lei when they went to the Ocean of Light, after all, the spaceships that Zhu Lei first went to the Ocean of Light were only three.

And this time the number is as high as tens of thousands, but half of these tens of thousands of spaceships are civil forces belonging to the Ming Empire, and this time the official forces are also composed of three parties, that is, the military forces of the Ming Empire, the government's mission, and Zhu Lei, a couple representing the royal forces of the Ming Empire, and his escort team.

The civil forces are composed of the major families of the Ming Empire and a small number of individual businessmen, and the total number of people sent by the Ming Empire to the Orion Nebula is as high as one billion, which has never appeared in the history of the Ming Empire.

It can be said that if the Ming Empire's mission is successful, then the Ming Empire will truly embark on the big stage of the galaxy.

"Let's go." As the supreme commander of the Ming Empire's mission to the Orion Nebula, Zhu Lei ordered.

With Zhu Lei's order, tens of thousands of spaceships all slowly rowed out of the mooring and flew out towards the universe, and at this time, all the people in the Ming Empire paid attention to this matter, and all the people silently wished the team a smooth trip, but all of them understood that the Ming Empire had begun to really move towards the big stage of the galaxy at this time, and the galactic century was coming.

"I wish our heroes a safe journey and success."

After leaving the port, all the spaceships were very consciously filmed in formation, and the official TV station of the Ming Empire was also broadcasting live on this great moment at this time, and all the people of the Ming Empire witnessed this great moment, and all of them were preserved.

And many people in the fleet were very excited at this time, because most of the people in the fleet that sent Orion Nebula this time were young people, of course, this is equivalent to the current lifespan of the Ming Empire, after all, if compared with the beginning of the 21st century, the age of these people can be said to be old and immortal old monsters, because the youngest of these young people in the fleet is more than two hundred years old.

However, such an age is a real young man in the eyes of the Ming Empire now, and it can even be said that he has just become an adult, but the country is strong when the youth is strong, and the future of the Ming Empire is in the hands of these young people, so this time the Orion Nebula will take them out to see the world.

Finally the fleet began to set sail, tens of thousands of mothership-level spaceships This is a very powerful force, even if it is placed in the galaxy, only a few civilizations can be organized, even the neighbor of the Ming Empire, the Black Bear Civilization, does not have the ability to form tens of thousands of mothership-level spaceships for long-distance voyages.

Although the Black Bear Civilization has a long history and profound heritage, the main fleet of their space warships is still more than ten 20 kilometers of space warships, and only a few are mothership-level space warships, and the motherships of the Black Bear Civilization are much smaller than those of the Ming Empire.

Their motherships are basically quasi-motherships of the 100-kilometer level, and the largest space warships of the Ming Empire at this time have reached more than 500 kilometers, even if this is the case, the Ming Empire still has to be patient, after all, although the level of the black bear civilization is relatively small, but the number is enough, so if the two civilizations fight now, then it is very likely to cause a lose-lose situation, which neither the Ming Empire nor the black bear civilization wants to see.

Tens of thousands of mothership-level spaceships travel together, this is the power of the Ming Empire, the power of a fifth-level civilization is incomparable to that of a fourth-level civilization, such a fleet cannot be defeated even if it is the power of hundreds or thousands of fourth-level civilizations, the gap between civilization levels is unimaginable, not to mention that the gap is so large that it cannot be filled by quantity.

Although this quantity seems to be far inferior to the number of fleets when the Ming Empire conquered the Kara civilization, the quality is far greater than that time, and it has only been how many years since the Ming Empire entered the interstellar era, and how many years has it been since it entered the fifth-level civilization.

Among these tens of thousands of space carriers, more than half of them belong to civilian spaceships, and only a small part belong to military space warships, but don't underestimate these civilian spaceships, because at this time, the Ming Empire has opened the right to purchase space warships below 20 kilometers, which means that the Ming Empire can purchase space warships below the 20 km level in the official without restriction by virtue of its own identity.

You must know that before that, don't talk about 20 kilometers, even if it is a 10-kilometer space battleship, the people of the Ming Empire are all unable to buy it, but with the change of the policy of the Ming Empire, the space battleships of the 20 km level have now been released from the right to buy.

Of course, now it is only a trial policy for the purchase of space warships by the people of the Ming Empire, and if it is feasible in the future, then the government of the Ming Empire will let go of the purchase rights of higher-level space warships.

Therefore, among these civilian-level space carriers, there are countless space warships below 20 kilometers, so their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Moreover, these space battleships have all been refitted, and only a few people can operate a 20-kilometer space battleship, and their combat effectiveness is even stronger than the previous one.

It can be said that these space warships have achieved real intelligence, and all jobs are operated by intelligent robots.

What's more, the intelligent programs of the Ming Empire, that is, the computer, are not comparable to ordinary civilizations, and the robots in these spaceships, although the computers they carry are the lowest computers in the Ming Empire, but with the powerful computing function of the central computer of the space battleship itself, the combat effectiveness exerted is very powerful.

Of course, in these mothership-level spaceships, in addition to various types of space warships, there are countless small aircraft and small combat units, such as space fighters, space mechas, space chariots, space self-propelled guns, etc., so even these mothership-level civilian spaceships are not much worse than military motherships, and the difference is only the attack power of the mothership itself.

What's more, even if it is a civilian-level mothership, its own combat effectiveness is also quite strong, although it cannot be compared with the military mothership of the Ming Empire, after all, although the main attack method of the military-level mothership is similar to that of the civilian, but both the attack power and the attack distance are far more than the civilian mothership, not to mention that the military-level mothership also has weapons of mass destruction that the civilian mothership does not have.
