In just a few days, a thick layer of green seaweed has been laid on the five ocean planets.

Tens of thousands of drones fly low above the sea, with a huge trawl net in their tails, scooping seaweed from the surface into the net.

Once the giant trawl is full, the drone pulls up into the air and flies towards the incubator on the planet with the full trawl net.

At this time, dozens of transport ships floating on the surface of the sea have appeared next to the incubator.

These carriers have been specially modified to convert seaweed into a nutrient solution that can be used in incubators.

Drones in the sky lined up on top of dozens of transport ships, opened the lower trawls, and dumped all the collected seaweed into the huge open cabin of the transport ships before flying off into the distance again.

Once the seaweed arrives in the cabin, it is converted into a nutrient solution that flows into the incubator through a large transparent pipe connected to the incubator.

The incubator, which has obtained a large amount of energy, begins to produce the eggs of the battleship alien in a frenzy.

The drones waiting on the side will drag the eggs with the "umbilical cord" to the open space next to them and stack them neatly, waiting for the alien hatching of these warships.

There are hundreds of such hatching bases on the entire ocean planet, and each hatching base can produce 2,000 battleship alien eggs a month!

Three months later

While the empire was in full swing of a major military expansion, two light-years away from the coordinates of the Eva fleet recorded in the future information, three fleets jumped out of hyperspace and came to the outer edge of the star system.

"Call HQ, we're the First Fleet, and we've found no trace of enemy troops near the target point...."Thunder reported as he connected to the Holographic Communication with the Empire.

"Sir, there aren't any planets in this star system!" Before Lei Ming's words could be finished, a soldier on the side suddenly shouted.

"What's going on, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the system?" Lei Ming frowned and said.

"No sir, our gravity scanner shows that there is only one gravitational point in this star system!" The soldier shifted his hand and placed the scan on the bridge's main screen.

Sure enough, in a huge galaxy, only one red star hangs alone in the air.

"Maybe it's a natural phenomenon, let's move on to the next star system!" Lei Ming sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"The three of you fleets are on alert and ready for battle." Li Mingze, who was on the other end of the holographic intercom, felt his heart tightened, as if he had thought of something, and ordered to Lei Ming.

"Your Majesty!"

"All warships obey the order and immediately enter the battle mode! Defend against possible enemies, target the next star system, and move forward! "After receiving the order from the commander, the battleships of the First Fleet began to slowly move their bows and flew towards the next jump entry point.

The other two fleets had just received Li Mingze's order, and they also dispersed into a battle formation and followed behind the First Fleet.

The three fleets flew silently through the empty star system, and the empty cosmic space looked unusually gloomy and lifeless.

And in the stellar orbit that these warships did not notice, the lens of a spherical satellite kept rotating, focusing the camera on the high-speed flying Imperial fleet.

However, due to the satellite's close orbit, the star's gravity obscured its own gravity, and with a layer of stealth livery, the small satellite was not noticed by the Imperial fleet at all.

A day later, the Imperial fleet crossed the empty star system to the next tipping point and disappeared into the universe.

Only then did the satellites next to the stars dare to send the collected information back to their home planets.

A few days later, three of the Empire's fleets leapt out of hyperspace and arrived in a star system closer to Eva's coordinates.

"Sir... It's still empty... There aren't any planets in existence, which is absolutely not normal. The soldier swallowed and reported to the thunder.

"This is definitely not a natural phenomenon, all fleets have been upgraded to the highest alert level, ready for battle." Lei Ming nodded solemnly.

At this moment, with a burst of spatial agitation, the periphery of the three fleets of the empire began to appear one after another square and angular white battleships!

"Oh no, the enemy really has an ambush! All ships opened fire at once! When Lei Ming saw the first battleship appear, he immediately reacted and decisively ordered the fleet to start attacking.

A glowing beam cannon and mass-accelerating cannonballs fired wildly at the ever-appearing battleship.

The warships, which had just left the warp speed, were blasted into space before they could react.

In less than ten minutes, the three fleets of the empire were covered with battleship wreckage.

And the guns of the Imperial battleships were slightly red from the high-speed fire.

"Ceasefire!" Seeing that there was no longer an enemy fleet, Lei Ming waved his hand and ordered the fleet to stop firing.

"Report to Imperial Headquarters that we have been ambushed in a star system 1.2 light-years around the target point!"

"The number of enemies is too small and they appear one after another, coupled with the fact that our concentration of fire is too high, it is impossible to judge the defense capability of the opponent's warships at present."

"And the opposing ships did not fire, and we also cannot judge their attack capabilities." Thunder saved the information and prepared a satellite to launch towards the outer edge of the star system.

Then the fleet went into a state of signal silence, and the lights of all the battleships were extinguished, and a faint hologram enveloped the three fleets of the Empire, and the three fleets disappeared from the universe.

This is exactly the covert mode of the Imperial fleet, where previously launched satellites will only send signals to the Empire after the fleet has left, which effectively prevents the fleet from revealing its coordinates.

And in the stellar orbit of this star system, another spherical moon seems to have lost its target, and constantly scans the entire star system in a panic, hoping to find the figure of the Imperial fleet.

But the Empire's fleet had been hidden in the hologram barrier, losing its visual presence, and the satellites that relied on optical equipment to explore suddenly lost their target.

A few hours later, the satellite reluctantly sent back a message to its parent star that the target was missing.

After the message was sent, the satellite was finally exposed to the sight of the Imperial fleet.

Lei Ming, Yi Yun and Wang Rongtao were shocked, they didn't expect that there was a monitor hidden in the empty star system.

And this detector is so close to the star, using the star to hide its tracks!

No wonder your own fleet can meet the enemy's fleet just after jumping out! [.]
