"Top Secret Alert."

"The Pisces Ark, which disappeared more than fifty years ago, has reconnected to the Empire's communication channels." After Li Mingze returned to the office, he looked at the message in front of him and fell into surprise.

He didn't expect that the Pisces Ark, which he thought might have been killed by some natural disaster, would reconnect with the Empire.

"Connect me to the Ark!" Although in order to prevent the coordinates of the ark from being exposed, the empire never took the initiative to communicate with the ark, but this time Li Mingze really couldn't help it.

He was curious about what had happened in the more than 50 years since he had been missing!

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empire! Colonist A00241 reports to you that we are finally back in the arms of the Empire. The Ark communications officer, who connected to Li Mingze's communication, solemnly saluted with tears in his eyes.

As someone who had lost contact with the Empire during his tenure and had spent more than fifty years in a state of confusion, there was nothing more exciting for him than to reconnect with the Empire.

"Send the log of the Ark after it was lost to the Empire, you must pay attention to protect the safety of the Ark, the Empire will be your strong backing!" Li Mingze said solemnly to the communications officer.

"Your Majesty!" The communication screen disappears.

And in the asteroid sea, because the stars that consume a lot of souls have not yet stabilized, the red beams of light are still shooting into the distance.

The twenty-four warships of the Pisces Pirate Regiment hurriedly fled to a safe distance and leaped into hyperspace while these people were still distracted.

However, these national alliances did not intend to pursue them, after the new route was opened, Andreth was no longer important, and their small pirate group could not make any waves at all.

"We will conquer the outside world, and we will go down in history! Let's toast to the opening of new routes! "At this time, under a planet in the star system where the star energy exciter is located, a group of people are looking at the man on the stage in the brightly lit hall.

"Cheers!" The crowd cheered and raised their glasses.

These people are representatives of the various civilizations of the entire asteroid sea.

Because the territory in the asteroid sea has been divided, the countries cannot easily start a war due to the balance of power.

By chance, I learned that a country had invented a superweapon that could open up shipping lanes to the outside world.

The world outside the asteroid tempted these countries, so they secretly formed a multinational alliance and fought all the way to the capital of the country that invented the energy exciter.

Now that new shipping routes have been opened, their alliance can finally enter the outside world.

When everyone drank the wine in their hands, everyone couldn't help but imagine the beauty of the universe outside.

"Perhaps, the outside world is full of living planets, and there are a lot of minerals." A middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady said wistfully.

"If you want me to say, the outside world may still be nothing, and it is our small world that has civilization." A middle-aged man chuckled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should unite and form a multinational joint development organization to develop the world beyond the asteroid." A masked man on the stage knocked on his glass.

If Liu Rushun and the others were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this person was the mysterious person who spoke when they approached the energy activator.

While the representatives of these countries were enthusiastically discussing the asteroid outer world, they would not have imagined that there was a super-empire in the outside world that had already targeted them, and a super-fleet was heading towards them.

Li Mingze, who had already sent back the log from the ark and knew everything after the ark lost contact, had already sent a fleet to the asteroid sea.

More than 10 million Tiger Shark-class warships, led by the three major fleets of the Empire, began to fly in the direction of the Asteroid Sea.

Fearing that the alien fleet would leave too far away and lose control, the remaining alien warships were left in the Imperial base camp to watch over their homes.

This unprecedentedly large fleet will fly in hyperspace for up to a year to reach the Asteroid Sea.

Behind them were the construction troops responsible for the construction of the wormhole highway.

As a special star field with hundreds of colonizable planets and trillions of human population, it will definitely become a key area for the development of the empire in the future.

At that time, with the existence of the wormhole overspeed channel, it will be much easier for this star field to travel with the mainland of the empire.

Three months later, the activated star began to calm down, and the massive red beam faded away.

At this time, the exploration ships of various countries that had been prepared for a long time began to pour into the passage opened by the beam. Even though the diameter of this passage reaches an astonishing thirty kilometers, there is a jam of ships.

These people have no idea what trouble they are going to have in this dangerous universe.....

Similarly, Li Mingze didn't know what was in the distant starry sky where this red beam flew....

The seemingly thick asteroid sea becomes less thick after these ships enter a subluminal state.

Originally, the ark had been flying slowly for fifty years, and after these warships accelerated to sub-light speed, they left the asteroid sea surrounded by meteorites in just ten days.

At this time, people knew how big the asteroid sea was that blocked their outward development, and it was not that there were no explorers in various countries who went deep into the asteroid sea before, but thirty or forty years have passed but there is still no end, and the unknown is terrible, and people gradually dispelled the idea of crossing the asteroid sea. Now they have finally fulfilled their ancestors' dream and rushed out of the asteroid sea.

At the moment of rushing out of the asteroid sea, all the researchers on board the spacecraft were stunned by the starry sky in front of them, they had never seen such a brilliant and colorful starry sky.

In their world, surrounded by an asteroid sea, they could only see a gray "sky" reflecting the light of the stars, and this gray sky was certainly not comparable to the starry sky composed of countless stars and nebulae outside.

"Start observing the surrounding starry sky immediately!" The captain's excited roar rang out on many exploration ships.

Scanners of various functions began to rise from the exploration ship, and various detection beams began to scan the surrounding starry sky.

It wasn't until some time later that they discovered in despair that the nearest galaxy was three light-years away!

And in this new universe, the distance between each galaxy is very large!

The distance between each galaxy is light-years enough for more than a decade for a spacecraft that can only travel at sub-light speeds.

The thought of this made the researchers feel a deep sense of despair.

The special environment of the close proximity of the star systems in the asteroid sea has caused all countries to focus on how to accelerate the spacecraft to close to the speed of light, and no one has committed to studying how to fly faster than light.

Now, the many civilizations in the asteroid sea are in an awkward situation, and after a heated discussion, a group of ships carrying a large amount of supplies began to fly at sub-light speed towards the nearest star system.

They will have to fly for nine to ten years to reach their destination.....
