Chapter 724: Accidental Discovery
The Eye of the Empire One space station, suspended next to the portal, is nearing completion.
All of its components have been joined together, and the only step that remains unfinished is to weld the outer armor of these components together.
However, the welding armor will not affect the start of this space station, and after receiving the order from Li Mingze, the staff stationed in the space station decisively ordered the drones to stop moving.
"The Eye of the Empire is ready for the first time! Countdown! ”
"The countdown is over! Energy begins to come in, and the Eye of the Empire is powered on! With the shout of the person in charge of the space station, the staff in front of the console pressed the switch in their hands one after another.
Bang bang bang, one headlight after another lights up on the outside of the space station, illuminating the entire space station.
The silvery-white umbrella scanning device began to unfold slowly, with a transparent film between each unfolded umbrella-like structure.
Soon, the upper and lower "umbrellas" opened to the fullest, and from a distance, the space station seemed to be an erect diamond-shaped crystal.
The scanner's silvery-white shell shone against a white stellar ground not far away, and blue currents traveled down the armor until they reached the outermost end of the umbrella structure.
At this time, all the hyperspace probes in the entire river system failed at the same moment.
However, the duration of the malfunction was very short, less than a femtosecond, and the staff of various civilizations did not notice the anomaly at all.
If it hadn't been recorded in the system archives, probably none of these civilizations would have known what happened at this moment.
Interference from hyperspace rendered these hyperspace probes inoperable, but due to the very short time it took for the Imperial Eye to scan, the devices were able to return to normal so quickly.
Although the scanning time is less than a femtosecond, it is the most time-consuming to record the results of the scan and analyze the data!
The trajectory of all the energy runs in the entire river system has been scanned and recorded by this equipment, and you can imagine what a huge amount of data this is!
If it weren't for the fact that the Empire had installed the strongest computer that the Empire could currently build, the entire system would have collapsed just by receiving the scanned data!
However, even with the Empire's most powerful supercomputer, it would take a full hour to sort through the scanned information.
After the information is organized into a readable state, the system also needs to filter the information to find the energy fluctuations caused by those stars, planets, and moons from the data.
And it is also necessary to restore the internal energy trajectory of those battleships to the appearance of battleships.
These calculations alone would require the supercomputer to perform a full six hours of calculations.
In other words, it takes six hours after each scan for the Empire to know the final result!
However, this data is not static, as long as the empire continues to install computing arrays for this space station and improve the computing power of the space station's host, the time to reach the final conclusion will be shorter.
When seven hours had passed since the first scan, the Empire's intelligence services had finally received a processed hologram.
When the hologram opens, it reveals an entire river system, but the system has been painted in a variety of colors, and each area is numbered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these serial numbers represent the thirty-one high-level member states of the Spiral Federation in this river system, and each color block is the territory occupied by these high-level civilizations, and the areas around them that are similar in color to them, but have lower brightness, are the territories of their vassal civilizations." A scientist in charge of the Imperial Eye project explained to the group of officers standing in the holographic chamber.
The officers nodded, zooming in on the holograms in the room until the Empire's attacking Union front came into view.
"The blue units in the hologram represent our warships, while the red ones represent enemy ships, and the gray ones represent ships that have been destroyed and have lost the ability to resist, but they can still detect energy inside."
"Now, as you can see, the entire line of defense is full of blue warships representing our empire, and the number of unmanned batteries and fortresses left in the place is very small."
"At this rate of destruction, it will only take three days for us to wipe out all the Federation troops on the defensive line!" The scientist said proudly, pointing to the few red spots on the line.
"Very good, this hologram contains very comprehensive content, and even the general structure of the planet's underground base can be depicted!" An officer zoomed in on the hologram above a planet and touched his chin in satisfaction.
In everyone's sight, the planet's surface is covered with red bases.
"Immediately notify the fleet in orbit of this planet, send the exact coordinates and depth of these bases, and let them eliminate them at a fixed point!" An officer said to a subordinate on the side.
"Understood." The junior officer nodded, and sent the data to the fleet at the front line using a spiritual network.
The other officers zoomed in on the hologram again, wanting to see the deployment of the Federation fleet in the river system.
As the hologram continued to enlarge little by little, the pupils of an officer suddenly shrank, and he seemed to have discovered something at the moment when the hologram slid down.
"Stop! Stop it! The officer shouted at the man who was flipping the hologram.
"What's wrong?" The officer looked up with a puzzled look.
"I just seem to have discovered something, let me come!" The officer who noticed the anomaly stepped forward, placed his hand on the hologram and began to slide continuously.
After a while, a galaxy full of red dots flew through the frame, and the officer hurriedly stopped sliding his hands on the hologram and began to return the hologram little by little.
After a while, a galaxy with dense red flecks stopped in front of everyone.
The red spots in this galaxy are neatly arranged in a long formation.
And judging from the density of these red spots, the number of red spots that have almost become one is definitely quite a lot!
The officer hurriedly enlarged the star system, and soon two planets suspended next to the star were magnified and appeared in front of everyone.
However, everyone's attention was not on these two planets, and their attention was attracted by the slender red "ribbon" in the middle of the two planets!
This slender ribbon is made up of countless small red dots, and because of the high density, they are almost connected! And the length of this "ribbon" is also directly connected from one part of the planet to the other!
