In the vast, deep, vast void, a looming pale golden star is speeding through the bright sea of stars.

Zooming in, you can find that it is a star with a diameter of 500 kilometers, protected by twenty-one transparent energy shields inside and outside, the surface is smooth and flat, and countless matrix patterns are all over it, exuding an incomparable coercion.

Stars move extremely fast, spanning millions of light-years in less than a quarter of an hour. However, instead of traveling through subspace faults, it achieves a flight that exceeds the speed of light by compressing and distorting the structure of the void.

This is the "Zhaoyue" Sky Survey Starship used by the Imperial Family, when His Majesty the Emperor convened a large number of experts and high-level creators of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, collected various rare resources from the entire territory of the empire and the dark and barbaric star sea, and created a strategic artifact after many experiments.

Its actual combat capability has surpassed that of ordinary super starships, it has a variety of technologies to quickly cross the void, and it is not afraid of most void blockade methods, and can operate safely in various extreme void environments, including the gravitational field of the massive black tung is helpless against it!

More importantly, it has the ability to adapt to the physical laws of different space-time dimensions, and can go to high-dimensional space to sail and fight normally, and perform a variety of dangerous missions.

This is one of the many weapons developed by His Majesty the Emperor in order to deal with the imminent alien civilization outside the sky, due to the limited time and energy, so only nine finished ships have been completed, and a batch is being assembled in the secret base of the empire.

“…… Where are we now? "In the main control room inside the starship, a beautiful voice full of magnetism sounded.

“…… Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has just passed the Lan Mo Great Star Region on the border of the Empire. In ten minutes, you will be completely in the dark and savage star sea. A calm voice responded.

The person who asked was a tall girl with a flowery face and bright starry eyes, dressed in pale gold tight-fitting light armor outlining graceful and moving curves. The chest of the light armor is decorated with the bright moon and starlight that is unique to the royal family. A slender black-gold spear leaned against her left, its body covered in delicate rose patterns. It emitted a bitter chill.

On the huge light screen in front of the princess, there was a vast sea of stars that gradually changed, gradually dimming from bright and clear to only basic starlight.

A female officer with clear eyebrows adjusted a few times, and the star map was bright again, but there was much less relevant data information.

The princess stroked her black hair, and said with some regret: "The empire is still a little lagging behind in the collection of digital data from the Wild Star Sea, and it will be like this not far from the border. In the future, if the alien race descends in a space far away from the territory of the empire, it will be too bad for us! ”

The handsome officer who stood tall beside him owed a debt. He said a little helplessly: "Your Highness, this is something that cannot be helped, compared to the number of clansmen, the territory of the empire is too large, and the unification time is not long enough, so it is not possible to conduct detailed mapping and survey of the vast and boundless wild star sea, and draw a complete and detailed star map!" ”

This is a well-known fact, the current population of the entire territory of the empire is compared to the vast territory of the Haoyue Empire, which has as many as hundreds of large star regions. It's like a handful of salt sprinkled into the ocean, it's really vast and sparsely populated! Being able to establish a perfect early warning and monitoring system and bring such a vast territory into effective control is enough to prove the tremendous efforts made by the top echelons of the empire.

It's different from a normal star chart. This kind of early warning and monitoring system at the imperial level has extremely high technical requirements, ranging from the entire star field, provinces, and galaxies, to every planet, every channel, star gate, and wormhole. So much so that the state of each meteorite belt must be recorded in great detail. Even the shape and main composition of meteorites with a diameter of more than 10 meters must be clearly detected. Archive for the record!

If you want to do such accurate exploration and monitoring of the cosmic starry sky that is more than a billion light-years wide, the requirements for the comprehensive national strength of the empire have reached an incredible height, even though the Haoyue Empire has extremely strong financial and material resources, it is a little unbearable.

In fact, there are only a handful of old super-civilizations that can exercise such a degree of control over their own land. Of course, this is one of the necessary criteria to reach those mythical civilizations that transcend time and space.

Three million light years beyond the borders of the empire, there is an even more vast dark and barbaric star sea, except for a few expedition fleets, basically no other aircraft will enter, and naturally there will be no too detailed star map information.

A delicate warbler's tactful, pearl-like voice came from a jade plate, with a faint majesty: "Your father also got the ancient star map left by the Yujin civilization back then, and it is said that the entire Xinghai World is included, just because the age is too old, so there are many fallacies and changes, and the reference value is not large, so you must re-survey and map." ”

The princess smiled with a bit of flattery: "Mother, aren't there still a few powerful artifacts in the empire?" You can conduct a detailed exploration of the surrounding starry sky, you go and talk to your father, and bring one out another day. It's a bit inconvenient! ”

Meng Yuluo said slowly and methodically: "The use of strategic artifacts is not a trivial matter, it requires a lot of royal contributions, and I can't help you in this regard!" Or you can go and ask your father yourself another day! ”

“…… All right! Qin Xiyuan was a little discouraged, puffed out his cute pink lips and muttered for a while, and stopped talking.

As the eldest daughter of the royal family, of course she can get this contribution, but she can save it after all. thought that letting her mother come forward would be reasonable to take advantage of it, but unfortunately Meng Yuluo was not so easy to talk at all.

The empire is set in all directions, and all aspects of the system have been gradually established and improved, even if it is a royal noble, when calling on some important resources, they have to do things according to the rules, and they cannot do what they want.

Although the imperial concubine was deeply favored by her father, she couldn't help her much in this regard, and the two queens and many important ministers, princes and princesses were staring at it.

Qin Xiyuan was ordered to inspect the dark and barbaric star sea outside the northern frontier of the empire this time, and the territory that needed to be explored was one billion light years wide, covering dozens of large star regions. Thousands of overseas secret military bases, tens of thousands of special resource collection centers. The entire mission lasts about four months, if all goes well. Upon her return, she will be rewarded with 10,000 Royal Contribution.

Among the royal children who are now adults, the eldest princess undoubtedly has the greatest advantage, and has occupied the position of first heir for five consecutive years. Especially after being promoted to a guide last year, his position was further stabilized, and he left a lot of younger siblings behind.

For this reason, Qin Huang has authorized her to control a guard legion, with a fief of three hundred star fields, and can develop the wild star field on her own.

"That...... When this mission is completed, help me catch a few Salotan Creek dragon beasts on the return trip, okay? Qin Xiyuan's beautiful eyes turned. asked with a smile.

Meng Yuluo rubbed her cheeks, looked at her daughter dotingly, and sighed, "This is no problem!" ”

As long as it doesn't violate the principle, it is still possible to play some tricks in private, and the Salo Tanxi Dragon Beast is one of the few top-level murderous creatures in the Savage Star Sea, with extremely high intelligence, hidden whereabouts, and a terrifying existence whose strength is comparable to the peak of the controller!

With Qin Xiyuan having just reached the strength of a guide, and with the artifact given by His Majesty the Emperor in his hand, he had to take a lot of risks if he wanted to deal with this thing. If you use the weapons on the starship to hunt without permission. It is also not allowed without a suitable reason.

However, it was different when it was replaced by her mother Meng Yuluo, this top-level star beast was extremely valuable, whether it was for self-use, training to enhance the strength of the guards around her, or selling it for various precious resources.

"Hopefully we'll find something out this time. Of course, it's better if you don't find out! Qin Xiyuan muttered to himself.

Father personally promised that if she could find traces of alien races outside the sky, then she would receive a huge royal contribution of up to one million! To know that she has been an adult. Less than half of the total contribution received.

But in doing so, it means that the empire will face an unprecedented war. It's much more dangerous than when it faced the Vrotikol civilization! The enemy is a terrifying civilization that occupies multiple parallel universes.

Meng Yuluo frowned and groaned for a while, and said, "I hope that's the case too...... But it shouldn't be long! It's getting closer and closer to the point of your imperial grandmother's advent. Ay! If only we could prepare for a few more years! ”

Qin Xiyuan nodded silently, of course, this kind of thing is coming later, the better, although human civilization is already a well-deserved overlord of the Star Sea, but because the time is still short, the foundation is still insufficient, I am afraid that there is not enough capital to support such a scale of vicious warfare.

The Sky Survey Starship flew all the way, leaving behind countless galaxies of great magnificence and variety. At the same time, the remaining eight Sky Survey Star Ships, as well as a large number of Dead Star Ships, and subspace fault ships were also patrolling the vast sea of stars, cautiously watching for any abnormal movements in the void.

With the huge amount of rare resources constantly converging from all over the world in the Star Sea to the imperial capital, with the help of the ancient city of Osloma, a large number of high-end armaments have been continuously created, and with each day that passes, the empire's military power will increase by one point.

After several months of patrolling, the Sky Survey Starship successfully arrived at the intended Dark Galaxy, where there is a large mining area set up by the Empire, covering an entire star field, providing the Empire with tens of millions of tons of dark crystal sand every year, which is an important raw material for building god-level mechas.

Qin Xiyuan stayed here for a short day, received the new batch of finished dark crystal sand, and then began to return home, successfully discovering and hunting four Salotan Creek dragon beasts on the way.

"The space-time positioning anchor has been successfully copied by my father, and the next goal of the empire is to set up starry sky corridors in all these important star fields, and it will be quite convenient for immigration, garrisoning, and resource collection in the future......" Meng Yuluo was saying, and a strange spatial fluctuation instantly changed her face.

Qin Xiyuan's face turned cold, and he ordered: "Immediately carry out spatial positioning, use special channels to contact the imperial capital, and at the same time notify all the imperial combat units in the vicinity of tens of millions of light years to reinforce here!" ”

The Sky Survey starship swerved and sped toward the void somewhere millions of light-years away.

Against the background of the dark starry sky, a huge vortex with a diameter of thousands of light-years slowly took shape, and the entire starry sky was lit up in an instant.

A huge green crescent, sixteen bright golden stars appeared in the center of the whirlpool, and the majestic and deep aura that suffocated even Mengyuluo broke through the air. (To be continued.) )
