In the Earth One spaceport, Xin Lin entered the private dock owned by the Star Frost Group, and found the spaceship prepared by Ji Xingxian at a glance.

The whole body of this ship is dark blue, the hull of nearly 200 meters long is slender, the front end is small and the rear end is large, and the wing-like flat structure sticks out on both sides of the end, connected to two huge cylindrical engines, making the whole ship look like a fighter plane that has been magnified dozens of times, and it is very mechanical and technological beauty.

Xin Lin checked the information that Ji Xingxian sent to him and confirmed that it was it.

This spacecraft is called Zhanhai 9, which is actually a test ship used by the Star Frost Group to verify the second-stage warp engine, and only a dozen of them have been produced in total, and this one is the latest finished product that can be used directly for sailing.

The Zhanhai 9 stood out from the crowd when docked in the berth, surrounded by employees of the Starfrost Group, who were unaware that the ship was equipped with a two-stage warp engine, but were always unconsciously attracted to it.

Xin Lin approached the spaceship, and the security team that was guarding the ship around the clock had already been notified, boarded the spaceship under their envious gaze, and took over the supreme control of the entire ship.

Entering the ship's bridge, Xin Lin immediately started his engine and slowly drove away from the spaceport.

The coordinate information of Xuanhuang Star is input into the main control optical brain, and the spacecraft automatically calculates the route, adjusts the direction and accelerates with all its might, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and after more than 20 hours of accelerated sailing, it passes through the Kuiper belt and breaks away from the effective gravitational circle of the sun.

The two-stage warp engine only accelerates the warp speed and has no effect on the ship's speed in normal space.

However, the sailing speed of the Zhan Lan 9 is obviously much faster than that of ordinary spaceships, and the spacecraft must reach sub-light speed in order to enter the warping voyage, and the general spacecraft must go through at least thirty hours of acceleration to reach it, while the Zhanhai 9 only took twenty-four hours, saving one-fifth of the time!

Xin sighed in admiration, immediately turned on the warp engine, and the spacecraft traveling at high speed suddenly flashed and disappeared into the vast space.

On the ship, his telepathy was released, and he sensed that the space around him was extremely curled, and the ship was moving forward at 65,535 times the speed of light.

Fifty-five hours later, the ship emerged from warped space and appeared in the darkness of space.

More than 3 billion kilometers ahead, a faint red dwarf star emits a dark red light, and this is the Xuanhuang galaxy 417 light-years away from Earth, located in the depths of the Pleiades star cluster.

Xin Lin opened the holographic star map, and the walls of the bridge became completely transparent, allowing a direct view of the surrounding starry sky.

The Pleiades star cluster is the most familiar and the closest open cluster on Earth, with more than 3,000 stars in this interstellar space of only 13 light-years, with an average of more than two stars per cubic light-year!

You know, the density of stars near the solar system is 3/1000 per cubic light-year.

Everywhere you look, you can make out hundreds of stars with the naked eye as if they were so close that you can see them as if they were so close that you can see them in the dark.

On Earth, you will never be able to see such a brilliant starry sky.

This is just an open star cluster, if it is a globular cluster with a higher star density, crowded with millions of stars within a few tens of light years, I don't know what a shocking sight!

Xin Xiao admired for a moment before retracting his gaze, operating the quantum repeater on the spaceship, searching for signals, entering the verification code, and soon entered the quantum communication network of the First Fleet.

"Xin Lone," Yu Yucheng's figure appeared, and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"General Yu, I've already arrived in the Xuanhuang Galaxy." Xin Xiao said softly.

"So fast!"

Yu Yucheng was taken aback, he thought that Xin Lin would not be able to arrive until at least half a month later, and he was ready to wait patiently. As a result, only three days have passed, and Xin Lonely has arrived!

However, his reaction was also extremely fast, thinking that Xin Lin was Ji Xingxian's fiancé, all this had been explained, so he smiled and said: "Ji Xingxian gave you the second-level warp spaceship in advance?" ”

As the first person in the military, he had long known that the Starfrost Group had developed a second-stage warp engine, and he was looking forward to it, waiting for the full promotion and upgrading, trying to give the Steelmane Empire a head-on blow with the speed advantage.

"Yes." Xin Lin nodded and asked, "General, what is the situation now, how can I meet you?" ”

Yu Yucheng replied: "At present, we and the Steelmane Empire each occupy half of the interstellar space of Xuanhuang Star, the direction you came from is in our control area, just enter the fleet phalanx, you send the spaceship code, I will notify the fleet to let it go." ”

"I see." Xin Silence cut off the communication.

Zhanhai 9 slowed down slightly, and after continuing to sail forward for nine hours, a little light gradually appeared in the field of vision, and as it got closer, the point of light became larger and larger, and finally revealed the whole picture into a yellow-brown planet.

In the outer space of the planet, the two fleets confronted each other in the air, each forming a formation formation, with Xuanhuang Star as the midpoint to clamp each other.

Xin Lin looked at the dense battleships on the screen, and enlarged the image to observe, the number of the Federation fleet was more than five hundred, centered on a planetary-class battleship, forming a spherical distribution. This is the third squadron under the command of the First Fleet of the Federation, the number is 13 fleet, the number "1" represents the first fleet, and the number "3" means the third fleet.

The Federation fleet is divided into three classes, the highest of which is the nine main fleets, numbered from first to ninth.

The size of a main fleet is between 3,000 and 6,000 ships, of which the 1st, 5th, and 7th fleets are the strongest and have the largest number of warships, which are under the command of the military triumvirate. The total number of warships in the nine fleets of the Federation exceeds 40,000, and the number can reach 50,000 with the garrison fleets of the major colonized planets and space cities!

Each main fleet has five to nine detachments, ranging in size from several hundred, and the Federation fleet is usually moved in units.

Under the sub-fleet is a small fleet, ranging in number from a few to dozens, and the establishment is not fixed, and it is temporarily combined according to the combat mission. Only a small number of small fleets have numbers, and they are all meritorious fleets that have made great contributions to the Federation in history, and they have great commemorative significance.

The main fleet, the sub-fleet, and the small fleet, these three ranks are subordinate in turn, forming the command order of the Federation fleet.

Xin Lone's gaze swept over the 13th fleet, except for a planetary-class battleship, the rest of the battleships were all meteor-class ships, various battleships, cruisers, frigates, interceptors, space carriers, transport ships, and medical ships, and tens of thousands of unmanned fighters were shuttling between the battleships at all times, reflecting the dark red sun's rays, which was spectacular.

On the other side of Xuanhuang Star, the scale of the warships of the Steelmane Empire is not lagging behind, and the number is slightly smaller, only more than three hundred, with a strong Steelmane Empire style.

These warships are mainly black and blood, and their appearance is hideous, which looks very different from the Federation fleet, but the deterrent power is superior.

Xin Lin is not a soldier, and has only studied battleship knowledge for a few months in the Force training camp, and he does not know much about it.

He piloted the spaceship close to the Federation Fleet, entered the fleet's communication channel when there was still a million kilometers away, slowed down under the guidance of the fleet's intelligent light brain, adjusted the synchronous orbit, slowly sailed into the fleet formation, and finally hovered more than a hundred kilometers away from the planetary-class battleship, becoming a member of the entire fleet.

Yu Yucheng's image was displayed on the bridge and he said, "I'll send a fighter plane to pick you up." ”

"Don't bother, I'll come by myself."

Xin Silence put Zhanhai 9 into a standby state, instantly put on the Lone Star armor, came to the airlock exit of the spaceship, and jumped out after the gate opened.

The cold space was isolated from the armor, the engine was running at full speed to accelerate, the drag in space was almost zero, and the flight speed reached Mach 10 in just a dozen seconds, and it continued to rise, and after more than half of the journey, it began to slow down and fly towards the entrance of the battleship's airlock.

This is the first time Xin Lin has flown in space, but he has not the slightest rustiness and discomfort, let alone fear, and the whole person is like a cruise missile, flying towards the battleship at high speed.

The length of the planetary-class battleship reached fifteen hundred meters, and it quickly enlarged in front of the eyes, until it became a huge wall that took over the entire field of view. On the shell of this behemoth, the armor screen marks the outline of a constantly flickering door frame, which is extremely conspicuous, which is the floodgate that the battleship is about to open.

Forty seconds later, Xin Lin flew into space and flew into the battleship with precision.

The gate behind him closed, Xin Lin felt the gravity of the battleship, and landed steadily, and telepathy swept over the entire battleship in an instant, and all the information was in his hands.

A few seconds later, the gate in front of him opened, revealing Yu Yucheng's figure.

"Welcome."

Yu Yucheng took the initiative to step forward and hold Xin Lian's hand, his face full of sincerity.

His gaze swept over Xin Lian, and said with a smile: "Your lone star armor even makes me a little slanderous, but it's a pity that the output of the Steelman Design Institute is limited, and only one set will be produced in two or three years, and I won't have a chance to make a move when I'm not on Earth." ”

Xin Lin chuckled: "With the strength of a general, it doesn't make much difference whether you wear armor or not, and a mere set of Lone Star armor is just the icing on the cake." ”

He used telepathy to quietly investigate, this highly respected and famous Celestial Sword Saint, ranked second on the Federation Superman List, and it was not for nothing. Cultivating the speed of light force for nine centuries can be described as unfathomable, he looks like an ordinary old man on the outside, but in fact, every part of his body has been transformed and strengthened by the Force for hundreds of years, and he is no longer a normal human being!

Even from the perspective of Xin Lone's vision, the strength of this Firmament Sword Saint is extremely amazing, purely in terms of Force cultivation, at least ten times more than his own!

The high-level martial saint who has accumulated years, although there may still be a long distance from the extreme martial saint, and he cannot attack the star powerhouse, but he is unsurpassed in the Federation, and he can't find a stronger martial saint than him.

What's more, Yu Yucheng is not only amazingly cultivated, but also one of the few great masters in the history of the Federation who has reached the "realm of no moves" in the martial arts realm, and his swordsmanship is all over the sky, and he has created a set of Firmament Divine Sword Skills, so he is named the Firmament Sword Saint!

Xin Lin asked himself if he fought against the other party, although he could be invincible, but the probability of winning was not higher than thirty percent.
