Chapter 545: Reaching the Orion Nebula
Of course, not all the people in the Orion Nebula sent by the Ming Empire this time are young, but most of them are young, and there are still quite a lot of older generations to lead the team, after all, compared with the older generation, these young people lack the experience of surviving in the universe, let alone cosmic wars.
So you can only use the old man to bring the newcomer, but this can't blame the top of the Ming Empire for being so careful, although the Ming Empire is only an envoy to the Orion Nebula this time, in fact, the danger is much smaller than the real cosmic war, but it takes decades of flight to arrive, not to mention that the Ming Empire doesn't know much about the situation of the Orion Nebula at all, and I don't know how many fifth-level civilizations there are in the Orion Nebula or whether there are sixth-level civilizations, if there are multiple fifth-level civilizations, Then the Ming Empire must be visited one by one, and the time required will be even more brilliant.
There is also the organization of such a large envoy ship pair, in fact, that is, the expedition fleet, the manpower and material resources required are quite huge, even if the Ming Empire is a fifth-level civilization, its strong industrial strength and population, it also needs to be done with the strength of the whole country.
If this expedition fleet is annihilated by other civilizations on the way or in the Orion Nebula, then even the current Ming Empire will take at least a few decades to recover, not to mention that there is a spiritual leader of the Ming Empire in this fleet, King Yong'an, once there is any accident, then the blow to the Ming Empire is not only material, but a more powerful blow is from the spiritual.
It is very likely to shake the confidence of the Ming Empire to enter the galaxy stage, and even bring far-reaching disasters to the country and government, and civilization will stop moving from then on.
Although the native fleet of the Ming Empire came relatively late, the Ocean of Light Fleet waiting here did not have any complaints, and the strength of the native fleet of the Ming Empire who wanted to explore the Ocean of Light was not enough at all, not to mention that the Ocean of Light also belonged to the Ming Empire, and there was no difference in nature.
And it's always right to prepare more, with more strength and more strength, after all, the future of this exploration is not yet known.
So one more strength is one more guarantee, in the final analysis, whether it is the territory of the Ming Empire or the Ocean of Light, it is the territory of the Ming Empire, and if you want to survive in the ocean of civilization in the universe, you must unite to fight against other civilizations.
After all the fleets were assembled, the native fleet of the Ming Empire took the lead in entering the wormhole first, and then the military forces and official forces of the Ocean of Light entered the wormhole, and finally the civilian forces of the Ocean of Light and the rich civilization fleet of the Ming Empire.
After all, among all the fleets, the native fleet of the Ming Empire is the strongest, the most advanced in science and technology, and the largest number of space warships, so the lead is still carried out by the native fleet of the Ming Empire, after all, it is still unknown whether the other end of the wormhole is safe, and the native fleet enters first, so as to ensure the survivability of the entire fleet.
300 light years away from the territory of the Ming Empire, the native fleet of the Ming Empire first flew out of the wormhole, and after coming out, all the radars of all the spaceships in the fleet were turned on to explore the surrounding star fields.
That's why the fleet is so nervous, when it comes out of the wormhole, it is the weakest time for the defense of the entire fleet, because at this time, after a long wormhole shuttle, the energy shield of the fleet has dropped to the freezing point, and it can only rely on the defense of the fleet itself to defend against the enemy's attack, and under normal circumstances, the defense of the fleet itself is actually not strong, of course, except for the Ming Empire, so generally if there is really a hostile civilization, then they will definitely attack the fleet as soon as the space fleet flies out of the wormhole.
However, although no civilization was found around, the fleet still set up a defensive formation, and the energy shield was recharged to protect against possible accidents, and soon the second and third echelons flew out of the wormhole one after another.
Then the fleet reformed a large formation and flew towards the starting point of the second wormhole, five years later, the exploration fleet of the Ming Empire arrived at the starting point of the second wormhole, on the way the fleet did not encounter the existence of any civilization at all, the whole star field was blank, and even the life planet was very rare, in the five years of sailing, only one provincial planet was found, and the life on this life planet was still in a fairly primitive period, and intelligent life had not developed at all.
Therefore, the scientists in the fleet of the Ming Empire speculate that this quasi-fifth-level civilization in this star field has migrated to other star fields, or has become cosmic dust and disappeared into the universe, although the fleet of the Ming Empire is very curious about this, but there is no exact evidence of how this civilization disappeared, and can only be inferred by speculation.
However, since this civilization has disappeared in this star field, there is no need for the fleet of the Ming Empire to stop, so the fleet did not stop at all on the way, and went directly to the starting point of the second wormhole.
When the fleet came out of the second wormhole, it did not find the civilization that came out of its home planet, and even the civilization that reached the third level of civilization was not found, but before reaching the third wormhole, it was found that the civilization level was still in the primitive civilization of the intelligent civilization, and the Ming Empire was naturally not interested in such a civilization.
When the exploration fleet of the Ming Empire came out of the third wormhole, it was only less than a hundred light-years away from the outermost part of the Orion Nebula, and after it came out, the fleet found a fourth-level civilization ten light-years away, but the Ming Empire, a fourth-level civilization, was obviously not interested, not to mention that this fourth-level civilization was only a fourth-level primary civilization, and it had just walked out of its home planet, so it was not worth too much attention from the Ming Empire.
What's more, at this time, there is still a distance of nearly 100 light years from the Orion Nebula, and it will take a few years to reach it, so the entire fleet will fly directly to the Orion Nebula.
And at this time, because it is close to the Orion Nebula, although there is also a civilization here, the distance between the galaxies is not endless, at least a few light years away, which is already comparable to the barren star field where the solar system is located, but because the range of this star field is small, only less than a hundred light years away, not to mention that in this star field, the radar of the Ming Empire also found that there will be spaceships of advanced civilizations passing by from time to time, so the prosperity is not comparable to the barren star field where the solar system is located at all.
