Chapter 422: Exploring the Nearby Star Field
After all, if human beings really want to establish a stronghold here, it will definitely not just establish a temporary stronghold, but a long-term stronghold, and the location here is also very important, and this is also the place where the Ming Empire must pass through the Light Ocean Star Field, so this is also a transportation artery, even if the Ming Empire occupies the Light Ocean Star Domain in the future, it is also an important transportation artery, so it is still very necessary for the Ming Empire to be here.
So for everything in the entire galaxy to have an understanding, of course, the five most important planets in the fleet now have a preliminary understanding, then the next is the rest of this planet, the most important of which is the stability of the stars in this galaxy, after all, if the Ming Empire really wants to establish a long-term stronghold in this galaxy, then the stability of the stars in this galaxy is very important, so the detection of stars must be very careful.
In addition, all the sub-warships on all the three motherships of the Ming Empire have been released, after all, since the Ming Empire is ready to establish a stronghold here, it must be prepared in terms of defense.
After all, judging from the information collected, this Ocean of Light Star Field is actually not very peaceful, although the civilizations above the fourth level are relatively calm, but this Ocean of Light Star Field is full of interstellar pirate wandering civilizations, etc., these civilizations are like locusts in the universe everywhere, and sometimes even united, even the general fourth-level civilization can't stand the madness of these civilizations.
Therefore, the Ming Empire must be guarded against these pests in the universe, although the Ming Empire is now a fifth-level civilization, but after all, there are only three mothership-level spaceships, and two of them are not very good in combat effectiveness, after all, they belong to the commercial level mothership, and although the Star is a military-level mothership, the focus is still on transportation.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of these three motherships is not very strong, but it is enough to deal with the general pirate group, but it is more than enough to deal with the pirate group and some wandering civilizations, but the biggest combat power of these three motherships is not the mothership itself, but the battleship carried on the mothership, because the combat effectiveness of all the battleships carried on the mothership adds up to far more than the mothership itself, after all, the combat power of a mothership is actually worse than a space battleship.
After all, these three motherships carry as many as 36 space battleships, and more than 3,000 battleships on the three motherships plus space cruisers, destroyers and frigates, and such fleets are far beyond the ordinary fourth-level civilization.
Moreover, the space battleships and space cruisers in the fleet are not at all capable of being created by the civilization in the Ocean of Light, even if they are the overlords in this Ocean of Light, the light and dark civilization cannot be manufactured, and the totem civilization as a cultivation civilization is not to mention.
Therefore, with the existence of this fleet, human beings have established a stronghold here, and it can be regarded as a guarantee in terms of security, but because of the establishment of a stronghold, it is temporarily impossible for the Ming Empire's trade fleet to go to the inner circle of the Ocean of Light to trade, after all, without these warships on the mothership, there is no guarantee in terms of security, so if you want to go to the inner circle to trade, you must wait until the Ming Empire's stronghold here has a security guarantee before you can continue to set sail.
However, according to the estimation of the scholars in the fleet, it only takes about ten years for this stronghold to have the initial ability to protect itself, after all, the highest civilization in this Ocean of Light Star Domain is only a quasi-fifth-level civilization. The other civilizations are all level 4 or less, and it is enough to build a defense system in this system in ten years.
After all, the Ming Empire is a fifth-level civilization, and many technologies are simply incomparable to fourth-level civilizations, so this fleet of the Ming Empire only needs to spend ten years.
"The age of the star is being detected...", the intelligent program on the spacecraft was running.
As a mothership-level computer, the intelligent program is undoubtedly powerful, after all, such a huge warship needs the cooperation of computers in all aspects, in addition to manned jobs, there are countless unmanned jobs on the ship and robot troops need to be operated by the mothership's central computer, so it is not too difficult to detect the status of the stars in this galaxy.
Li Wenhua led his team to meticulously monitor the status of the stars in this galaxy and the operation of the entire galaxy.
Li Wenhua, as Li Xingyu's son, is now more than three hundred years old, and he is more talented in astronomy than his father, and this time Zhu Lei led the team to conduct interstellar trade, Li Xingyu was originally ready to come in person.
But as the chief astronomer of the Ming Imperial Academy of Sciences and the designer of the space battleship, he is very busy with his work, not to mention that he is now presiding over the design of the second mothership-class warship of the Ming Empire, so he has no time to come out, so he sent his son Li Wenhua to come out with him.
Moreover, Li Xingyu is now the viscount of the Ming Empire due to his special achievements in the design of space battleships in these years, which is also very exciting for Li Wenhua, so he swears that he will also make some achievements for the Ming Empire, be recognized by the Ming Empire or get the title of the Ming Empire without relying on his father.
After passing all kinds of tests, Li Wenhua's team came to the conclusion that this star is now young and strong, and the volume of this star is larger than the sun in the solar system, the age is about four billion years, and it is now in a stable period, at least for a long time, this star will not change significantly, this time is about fifty to fifty billion to fifty-five billion years, so the Ming Empire can rest assured that it can establish a stronghold in this galaxy. There is no need to worry about drastic changes in the stars affecting this stronghold of humanity in the Ocean of Light.
The nearest galaxy is only 0.9 AU away from this galaxy, the farthest galaxy is less than two light-years away, and there are a total of nine galaxies within five light-years around this galaxy, but four of these nine galaxies have no possibility of life at all, because these four galaxies have no other planets except for one or two gas planets and some meteorite dwarf planets.
