With the full spread of the Empire's Level 6 Time and Space Gate in the Empire's major river systems, the Empire's transportation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the exchanges between various river systems have become more convenient and fast, coupled with the Empire's effective reform measures, the Empire soon resumed its rapid development.

The hidden danger of back fragmentation has been eradicated, the power of the central government is unprecedentedly strong, the army is developing very quickly, and under the new military rank system, the motivation of the imperial military is very sufficient.

In the next 100,000 years, the empire once again expanded externally, and one river system after another was incorporated into the empire's territory, with the galaxy as the center, all the river systems within 200 million light years were conquered by the imperial army, and the number of river systems ruled by the empire reached nearly 5.

Countless river systems are even very barren, and the army of immigrants within the empire is constantly spreading in all directions, like nuclear fission, quickly occupying a vast starry sky!

The Milky Way - Andromeda Galaxy - the direction of the Taiyuan River System, once the Void Zerg swept all the way from this direction, and the expansion of the empire in this direction was the easiest, but it was also the most cautious and nervous.

The easiest thing is that all the river systems on this route have been swallowed up by the Void Zerg, even if millions of years have passed, no new civilization has been born in these river systems, so the empire only needs to continue to migrate to these river systems, and even a soldier and a cannon can be easily occupied without spending a single soldier or a single shell.

The reason why he was most cautious and nervous was because this direction, according to the speculation of the Imperial Universe astronomical scientists, was the direction leading to the center of the Otogo galaxy cluster, and it was originally learned from the king-level Void Zerg that the main space-time ocean current artery of the entire Otogo galaxy cluster was intercepted by a powerful civilization.

Therefore, if this direction continues to expand, there is no doubt that sooner or later this civilization will be encountered, and as for this civilization and the empire at that time, it will be at war with the empire, and the upper echelons of the empire are basically inclined to conflict and war.

One mountain does not allow two tigers!

A large cluster of Virgo galaxies can only accommodate a powerful problem, and it does not allow the existence of two powerful cosmic civilizations at all, and they will definitely compete with each other for resources, the right to speak, the territory of survival, and so on.

And for the Empire, the main space-time current artery of the O-Virgo galaxy The Otrigo artery is the only way for the Empire to the universe, and the Void Zerg every 2 billion years will also threaten the territory of the Empire, so in the future, the Empire will definitely destroy the dam intercepted by this civilization on the space-time current.

The empire has always deployed heavy troops in this direction, in order to worry that this civilization will attack the empire after discovering the empire, and the strength of the Taiyuan River legion will not even be worse than the strength of the Central Galactic legion, and many high-tech weapons and equipment are limited to arm these two legions.

Always be vigilant, the expansion in this direction has always been very cautious, only outward expansion of 50 million light years, occupying hundreds of river systems only tentatively expanded, because the previous space teleportation technology is too backward, tens of millions of light years have basically reached a relative limit, especially in the case of guarding against the attack of advanced civilizations, the expansion is more cautious.

However, now that the empire's space teleportation technology has made a leap forward in its development, coupled with the solution of internal hidden dangers, the empire is ready to really go to the universe this time, and is ready to meet this civilization for a while.

The Milky Way - Andromeda - the most remote river system in the direction of the Taiyuan River system, the Dingnan River system is a river system newly incorporated into the territory of the empire, the entire river system is currently very sparsely populated, and countless life planets have not recovered after being swallowed by the Void Zerg.

At present, the main task of the government here in the Dingnan River system is to restore the ecology of the countless living planets in the Dingnan River system, and lay the foundation for future immigration and economic development.

Here, a huge space-time gate is slowly activating in the satellite galaxy of the Dingnan River system, this space-time gate is different from all the space-time gates within the empire, this space-time gate is used to explore the center of the large Murigo galaxy cluster.

According to the inference of Imperial Space astronomical scientists based on the investigation of the main space-time current of the O-Muriego galaxy cluster, the Dingnan River system is nearly 200 million light-years away from the center of the O-Murigo galaxy cluster, which is not too far away, especially for the empire that has now mastered more advanced space teleportation technology.

It's time for the empire to come into contact with some powerful cosmic civilizations, and it's time to show its face in the universe!

Next to the gate of time and space, a huge fleet is waiting, this fleet has as many as 100 million warships, of which 70% of the space warships are actually cargo spaceships, all loaded with native products from the major rivers of the empire and the common currency in the universe - the crystallization of the void!

In addition, 3 percent of the space warships are space warships built by the most advanced technology of the empire, although the volume is very small, and the diameter is 100 kilometers, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely explosive, and it is very strong.

A powerful defense system that combines space folding and space blockade is generally not so easy to break through the defense after mastering the problem of space technology, unless it has a certain degree of attainment in the two fields of space folding and space blockade, it is possible to break the defense of the warship.

The attack weapon system of the combination of space fluctuation and space strangulation is enough to make these space warships crisscross the battlefield, even if they encounter a level 7 cosmic civilization warship, they can fight with them, as for the level 6 cosmic civilization warship, there is no pressure at all, and it can be easily wiped out.

This is a fleet armed to the teeth, but they are nominally trying to disguise themselves as cosmic merchants, cosmic merchants from the universe, who are doing business in the universe.

Of course, this is also the plan of the Empire, as a cosmic merchant, the center of the Obergo galaxy cluster will appear first, and the civilization will understand the situation of the other party first, and then talk about the bottom of the other party.

Cosmic merchants, especially businessmen from powerful cosmic civilizations, are generally more popular in the universe, the universe is vast, and the exchanges between advanced cosmic civilizations are not very frequent.

The Cosmic Merchant can bring exotic and exotic goods, and can also bring information about the powerful civilizations in the universe, and has always been a favorite guest of major civilizations.

The current scientific and technological strength of the empire can completely disguise itself as a merchant in the universe, form a caravan to go to the middle of the Virgo galaxy cluster first, and even if everything goes well, this fleet will also go down one by one along the space-time current leading to the center of the universe by the master female galaxy cluster, and obtain the most cutting-edge cosmic information for the empire, especially the information of the powerful cosmic civilization in it.

The huge space-time gate was activated, the stellar light on the space-time gate continued to dim, and a space-time passage in the space-time gate was opened, and slowly began to become stable.

Liu Wenjie, Shan Zixiong, and Xu Dan looked back at the direction of the Milky Way, as the most famous interstellar adventurers in the Empire, the three were once again recruited by the Empire to lead the "exploration" fleet to the center of the Omigo Galaxy.

"It's been more than 1 million years, I didn't expect the three of us old guys to get together again and lead the team to explore the unknown world again!"

Shan Zixiong was a little emotional, originally at their age, they should have retired a long time ago, but they had no reason to refuse the imperial conscription.

Shan Zixiong and Xu Dan's hair was already a little gray, and their faces were wrinkled, although they had also insisted on Yuanli cultivation for a long time, but they had no choice but to not reach the Yuanli cultivation, and the lifespan they had was only a few million, and at this time, more than 1 million years had passed, and they had almost gone through half of the road.

Liu Wenjie has not changed from before, a genius from a royal family, a very profound cultivation of Yuan Li, he has reached the stage of immortality a long time ago, and he no longer has to worry about the problem of lifespan, the whole person looks very young, but there is a vicissitudes in his eyes.

"It's a pity that Peng Bo left early, and when he was told to cultivate Yuan Li diligently, he just didn't listen!"

Xu Dan also sighed slightly, the former group of 4 people has now become a group of 3 people, Peng Bo Yuanli cultivation is even weaker, and he came to the end of his life more than 100,000 years ago, and countless people in the empire who have no cultivation talent or are not diligent in cultivation, the empire's millions of years of history, there have been countless people who have failed to cultivate Yuanli and began to grow old.

"The cultivation of the two of you Yuan Li has also reached a bottleneck, it is useless to keep practicing in retreat, you must find an opportunity, this time, it is a pity that although the territory of the empire is vast, there is still nothing that can make you advance by leaps and bounds again, I hope that this time we can get something from other powerful cosmic civilizations for you to make a breakthrough!"

Liu Wenjie's whole person is also a little sad, since more than 100,000 years ago, old friends have begun to grow old one after another, which is indeed a torment for people like him who have no worries about life.

"Let it be, I don't have any regrets! This time, the empire can still afford my old bones, let us explore the outside world again, and have no regrets in this life! ”

Shan Zixiong smiled slightly, he saw it, and he didn't have too much attachment.

"Haha, I wish I had lived a few more years!"

Xu Dan laughed loudly, although he said anything, he actually saw everything, and he didn't have any concerns at all.

"Well, let's go!"

Liu Wenjie nodded with a slight smile, waved his hand, and began to give the order to set off.

The huge fleet lined up in the void in a long dragon, and flew into the space-time passage in the space-time gate at a rapid speed, and soon disappeared!

On September 1, 1253986 A.D., the Imperial "Exploration" fleet set off from the Dingnan River System on the frontier of the Empire to the center of the O-Virgo galaxy cluster to explore the powerful civilization in the universe, officially opening the prelude to the glorious history of the Empire in the universe!
