Chapter 44 Set Sail

In the dark universe, a fleet is quietly docked in the void, the surroundings are very desolate, not even a single meteorite debris, the distant starlight no longer shines here, only a bright point can be seen, proving that the star is still emitting light and heat, maybe the star no longer exists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven if it is as long-lived as a star, it will extinguish one day, let alone a civilization, the Galactic Alliance has failed, and the glorious empire will always be destroyed, not to mention the human race that is walking on thin ice.

The fleet set sail shortly after the end of the meeting, and the destination was just no destination. Yes, what seems like a contradiction is actually very reasonable. Human beings' understanding of the galaxy is very lacking, although the star map drawn by the Galactic Alliance is detailed, but it only marks the location of the sixth-level civilization, and all the sixth-level civilizations have been transferred with the alliance, and the remaining civilizations of the Galactic Alliance are not marked at all, and the civilizations below the fourth level are in their eyes just like we look at primitive people. And the slave catchers are bound to obtain the star map of the galaxy from the forces left behind by the alliance. If it is not bad, perhaps the various communication arteries and natural wormholes have been blocked by the fleets of the glorious empire now, for civilizations of level 6 and below who have not mastered artificial wormhole technology, they cannot leave the galaxy without long-range wormholes, and all civilizations have become fish and shrimp in fishing nets.

In order to prevent encounters with the garrison fleet of the Glorious Empire, the fleet can only rely on the artificial wormholes of the four flagships for long-distance voyages, and the space jump technology of the fifth-level civilization is very imperfect, the maximum jump distance is only about five light years, and the energy consumption is very huge. A mature sixth-level civilization can already make a jump within fifty light-years, but compared to the scale of 100,000 light-years in the Milky Way, it is still a turtle speed, so the sixth-level civilization generally relies on natural wormholes to establish a fixed stargate, and connects two distant star fields through the stargate. However, the stargate is immovable, so it is easy to completely block the two star fields through the stargate, and the time and energy spent to travel between the two star fields through regular navigation is simply astronomical, and only the seventh-level civilization that has mastered the technology of creating artificial wormholes can travel long distances without relying on fixed stargates.

The fleet has been in this field for two days, and there is a red giant galaxy and a yellow dwarf galaxy within five light years of it, as well as several asteroid belts, where the exploration fleet is heading, hoping to find news of the existence of precious resources. To build a true seventh-tier fleet, the precious resources needed are massive, especially the materials are even more precious.

Alliance scientists speculate that it was formed by the remnants of the black hole's explosion. The peculiar thing is that the Ki has no mass, and this substance seems to be beyond the three-dimensional and does not belong to the complete thinking substance, so the Ki generally exists between the three-dimensional and the four-dimensional space, and for a while it appears in the three-dimensional space, and after a period of time it disappears from the three-dimensional space. Therefore, unless you happen to find and collect it at the moment of its appearance, you will not be able to find any trace of its existence. It has a huge role in expanding the space. That's right, it can expand a certain amount of space, and the space inside Earth, Mars, and Venus is expanded.

"It's time for the Exploration Fleet to sail back, right?" Chen Peilin looked at the external environment in the holographic projection and asked.

"Soon, it is said that the third exploration team has found some precious elements in the meteorite belt, but the reserves are very small, and a mining ship has already passed, and it will not be long before the mining can be completed." Zhuge Wushuang responded.

"What about the expeditions?"

"Oh, they? I guess I'm walking around the galaxy. The first time they get a chance to get out, these squads have to go crazy for a while. Their expedition ship has been bought for a long time, but unfortunately it has not been granted the right to go out before. Zhuge Wushuang said with a smile.

"Let's hope they can bring us good news." Chen Peilin said in a deep voice.

"Come on, you don't look at where they went, the red giant galaxy has reached the stage of old age, what precious minerals can there be, radioactive elements have a half-life, after so long, the precious elements have basically decayed clean." Zhuge Wushuang said undeniably.

…………

On the Cowboy Expedition Ship Starry Sky Cowboy, the members of the team are excitedly fiddling with various observation instruments and looking around. After the fleet opened up air traffic control, the cowboys couldn't wait to rush out of the pilot spaceship, like a wild horse.

The team has an astrophysics and a mineral major, and after deliberation, the Star Cowboy rushes directly to the Yellow Dwarf galaxy in the hope of making a small fortune. The Star Cowboy is a Class 5 expedition ship equipped with a 9.9 curvature warp engine and a 3.5 light-year jump engine, making it a small ship with decent capabilities. The ship is equipped with one B-class energy main gun and ten C-class energy secondary guns, five electromagnetic main guns and 30 electromagnetic secondary guns, and several other close defense weapons. It can be dealt with accordingly for different task environments.

The battleship is piloted by the ship-based AI Qinna, and the two people who joined the ship-based unit to learn the battleship driving are still at the level of less than half a bottle, and it is better to trust Qinna than to expect them to pilot. Qin Na is a fifth-level artificial intelligence, and she can handle it even if she controls a fifth-level flagship, and it is more than enough to deal with this five-hundred-meter boat, which is upgraded by Zhou Bocai and them with a lot of contribution points.

"Captain, you see that we have been wandering around the asteroid belt for so long, and we have not found any precious metals, all of them are some junk meteorites, shall we change places?" Yu Yang, who was driving the battleship, asked Zhou Bocai.

"Well, I have to change places, I'm always wandering around, but I'm burning contribution points." Zhou Bo thought that the biocrystals in the engine room were constantly becoming transparent, and his heart was constantly dripping blood.

"Captain, there's no one else here, why don't we test our naval guns." Wang Fatzi's eyes lit up and he suggested.

Hearing his words, all the male team members became excited, they are all hot-blooded young people, who doesn't have a little violent enthusiasm. Zhou Bocai was also very excited when he was said, but when he thought of the ever-shallower biological crystal, his heart calmed down.

"Forget it, it's a waste of energy," Zhou Bocai said with difficulty.

"How about we fire two electromagnetic cannons instead of energy cannons?" Wang Fatzi still said without giving up.

Zhou Bocai............

"If we don't fire the main gun, we will always have two secondary guns, right?" Wang Fat said pitifully with a bitter face.

Zhou Bocai............

"It's okay for us to only open a close-in electromagnetic cannon, and the energy of the battleship can be done, and it doesn't consume excess energy at all, and it is only a waste of two electromagnetic cannonballs at most." Wang Fatzi begged in pain.

"Alright! You can only fire two shots! A cannonball costs a contribution point. Zhou Bocai said painfully. Qinna, fire two shots at the meteorite in front of you, the power is a little less. ”

The armor plates on the side of the Starry Sky Cowboy were removed, and two 50 mm gun barrels stretched out, and then a burst of electric light flashed, and the barrels shook, and two shells flew out, and almost at the same time, the meteorite ten kilometers away shook violently, and then shattered.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! ......" wolf howls rang out in the bridge, and the members of the cowboy squad were red with excitement.

"Captain! How do you see how the section of that meteorite sparkles? Xu Liang, a mineral major, pointed to the screen and said.

"Qin Na, point the optical telescope at the meteorite and see what it is, and the energy detector will also detect it," Zhou Bocai ordered Qin Na.

"It's a C-grade energy crystal." Qinna's sweet voice responded.

The "......" fleet fell into a brief sluggishness. Whoa, whoa......" The howl resumed.

"Qinna, aim the ship's guns at the nearby meteorites, fire all of them and try them all, and then test them." Zhou Bocai commanded with his trembling body with excitement.

More than two dozen huge meteorites suddenly shattered, and then Qinna's sweet voice came, "Most of them have been identified as containing C-grade spars, and two of them contain B-grade energy spars. ”

"Quick! Hurry! Label this area with the Cowboy Squad, I'm going to negotiate with Exxon, brothers, let's go! Hahahaha. Zhou Bocai called excitedly.

Zhou Bocai quickly dialed the phone of Exxon Energy, and after explaining the situation to the account manager, Exxon Energy paid great attention to it, and quickly dialed the phone number of the headquarters of the Rockefeller consortium. After all, this is the first batch of energy spar transactions since the establishment of the energy company, and the significance is very far-reaching. Nelson personally spoke with Zhou Bocai and participated in the business negotiations throughout the process, and finally the two parties completed the transaction perfectly with 1.5 million contribution points.

Soon after the two sides negotiated, the large industrial ship of the Rockefeller consortium jumped near the hedron mine by jumping, and then a large number of mining equipment transported the meteorite into modules cut into pieces into the industrial ship, and through the production line in the industrial ship, it was made into pieces of finished energy crystal. Finally, after exploration, it was found that there were a large number of energy crystals in hundreds of asteroids within tens of millions of kilometers around, only C-grade energy crystals, worth at least 50 million contribution points, which made Nelson happy, it was simply a million profits.

In just a few hours, the energy spar deposits were mined and all of them were turned into finished energy crystals. Fortunately, after the arrival of the industrial ship, Zhou Bocai and they had already left, if they knew, they would have to cry to death, this transaction would be a big loss.

After three days of stay, the fleet turned on its jump engine and randomly jumped out of the void towards the pale blue nebula in the distance......
