This is a huge space fortress that Yang Yi has never seen before.

Because they are stationed in the Greenwich Line and also guard the North Fourth Sector, space fortresses are not an uncommon thing for humans. In fact, the monitoring post that Yang Yi originally served in was a space fortress, but the scale was too small to be compared with the real space fortress.

In general, space fortresses are built in-situ, such as on the basis of satellites or asteroids. Only if conditions do not allow it, other methods will be used, such as retrofitting with abandoned warships. The main difference between the two types of space fortresses is in size, with the former being larger in size and the latter only suitable for building outpost-level small fortresses. Along the long Greenwich Line, the Human Federation has built thousands of space fortresses in one of two ways, though most of them are small forward outposts. In order to defend some important colonial galaxies, the Human Federation has also built many space fortresses in the North Fourth Sector by modification.

Agadilon Fortress is a newly built fortress, but surprisingly large enough to resemble an asteroid.

Such a large amount of money can only be done by a top-level civilization like the Hidden Spirit Race. If it were a human federation, I am afraid that it would be impossible to build such a space fortress after exhausting its financial resources.

In fact, this is not only a fortress, but also an artificial celestial body, and a separate world.

As the spacecraft slowly approached, Yang Yi saw clearly that there was a dense atmosphere on the fortress, although it was not very high, but it was enough to create a suitable environment. There are forests, rivers, lakes and hills on the surface of the fortress, but there are no tall peaks or vast oceans.

There is a huge planetary ring on the outside of the fortress, which is simply a ring-shaped object that orbits the entire fortress along the equator and moves in sync with the fortress. The spaceport is built on this planetary ring, and the space elevator that connects the fortress to the planetary ring is the space elevator. Because the fortress is asteroid-level, its gravitational pull is not very strong. So the planetary rings are not very high, about a thousand kilometers above the ground, and it is not troublesome to go back and forth.

Of course, this distance of 1,000 kilometers can accommodate a large number of ships.

When the "Tianjiao" arrived, there were countless spaceships in the spaceport, and they were in good order. There is not the slightest sign of confusion or confusion.

It's just that most of them are civilian and transport ships, and there are not many warships.

There is not a single ship of the S-class and above!

"There's nothing strange about it, the Hidden Spirits don't rely on warships." Lin Feng saw Yang Yi's doubts and said in a low voice, "This is the central region, far away from the Greenwich meteorite belt, and the nearby area within a thousand light years is the jurisdiction of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and other civilizations are far away. Furthermore. Now that it's peacetime again, there's no need for the Hidden Spirit Clan to keep too many warships, especially the capital ships that cost a lot of daily maintenance. ”

Yang Yi glanced at Lin Feng, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.

Led by the patrol ship in front, the "Tianjiao" entered the spaceport.

At this time, Yang Yi noticed that the spaceport was protected by an energy barrier. Moreover, it has a strong magnetic field, and the internal environment is no different from that of a fortress.

Apparently. This is no ordinary military fortress.

Although according to Yujiao, the Agadilon Fortress is a military base for the Hidden Spirits near their home planet and the home port of the Hidden Spirits Space Fleet, the thousand-year-long era of peace and prosperity has also affected the Hidden Spirits and made the Hidden Spirits relax their guard. It also made the Hidden Spirits forget about the war.

Of course, this also has to do with the location of the Hidden Spirit Star.

You know, such a thing will definitely not exist in the Human Federation.

Although the event of peace lasted for a thousand years, many people learned the hard lessons of the previous Greenwich Wars. But the Human Federation is facing invasion from the Silicon Alliance next to the Greenwich Line, and even in peacetime it has to deal with the threat of the Northern Alpha System. Over the past thousand years, the Confederation of Humans has not let its guard down, at least not in the military, and even less in the Greenwich Line. In addition, thousands of years of inheritance are not easy to change, so the Human Federation, or at least the Human Legion, has not been abolished in the past thousand years. All military bases, including forward posts, have been maintained and strengthened. As for the conversion of military facilities to civilian use, it is absolutely impossible, and even high-ranking generals such as the chief of staff of the theater do not have the guts to do so.

I'm afraid that only top-level civilizations can do such things.

Of course, Yang Yi did not comment on it.

Although he didn't know much about the Hidden Spirit Clan, Yang Yi knew very well that this powerful top-level civilization's experience of war was far inferior to that of the Human Federation. In fact, in the past 5,000 years, the Hidden Spirits have never been ravaged by war, not only in the most brutal Fifth Greenwich War, but not only the Hidden Stars, but also the colonial galaxies. Except for the Hidden Warriors who participated in the battle, the vast majority of Hidden Soul Warriors didn't know what the war was all about, and they didn't have a deep understanding of the Silicon Phantom Alliance. Perhaps in the eyes of most Hidden Spirits, war is just a matter for low-level civilizations like the Human Federation, and it has nothing to do with them at all.

As for preserving its strong military power, perhaps in order to maintain its status as a top civilization.

In addition, whether the military strength of the Hidden Spirit Clan is strong or not is still up for debate.

According to the records of the Human United Gang, in the Fifth Greenwich War, the Hidden Spirit Clan did not send a fleet, but a group of powerful warriors led by the Heavenly Saint Emperor participated in several key battles. Until the end of the war, the Hidden Spirit Clan did not participate in the head-on battle, let alone become the main force on the battlefield. The explanation given by the federal authorities is that the Hidden Spirits are not a fighting race, and their main value is to provide critical, timely and accurate information, as well as to conduct covert operations behind enemy lines, so the military strength of the Hidden Spirits is relatively weak, at least compared to other top civilizations, the military strength of the Hidden Spirits is not strong at all, especially compared to the Thunder Ling Clan and the Weaver Clan.

Of course, anyone who underestimates the Hidden Spirits will pay a huge price.

For the Hidden Spirits, the military strength is not the warships and fleets at all, but the people.

Although compared with the martial Lei Ling Clan and the Weaver Clan, who are born warriors, the combat power of the Hidden Spirit Race is not outstanding, but as a top civilization, and one of the first three top civilizations, the Hidden Spirit Race has resources that are incomparable to other civilizations, including the Human Federation, and has the most advanced science and technology of the Galactic Alliance. With these, the Hidden Spirit Clan has super combat power.

To put it simply, any hermit can become a warrior, and a strong warrior.

In fact, in the past few Greenwich Wars, the Hidden Warriors performed no worse on the battlefield than the Thunderling and Weaver Clans, and in some special cases, the Hidden Warriors were even more powerful. It can be said that in many cases, a legion of hidden spirits can influence the outcome of a battle.

Relying on their own combat power, the Hidden Spirit Clan didn't need too many warships at all.

In fact, among the seven top civilizations, only the Lei Ling Clan maintained a large fleet, and the other six top civilizations did not have too many warships. This is still in times of war, and even more so in times of peace. You must know that even the Lei Ling clan will mothball most of the warships in peacetime, only a small part of them will be retained, and they will mainly be small warships. Mothballed ships will not be activated until after the outbreak of war.

Of course, relying on huge resources and advanced technology, top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Race were able to build a large number of warships in a very short period of time. At the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Lei Ling clan built 10,000 SSS-class warships in the strategic counterattack stage, reversing the balance of strength between the two sides in one fell swoop, and completely losing the possibility of winning the war for the Silicon Alliance, thus forcing the Silicon Alliance to sign an alliance under the city.

Even if the Hidden Spirit Clan is not the Lei Ling Clan, they can see the strength of the top civilization.

In fact, if it is only to deal with threats within the Galactic Alliance, including the Hidden Spirits, no top-level civilization needs to use a fleet. For the most part, the attitude of a top-tier civilization is the best and most valuable weapon. Only when fighting against the Silicon Alliance does it take the use of warships and the formation of a fleet. Obviously, there is no question of fighting the Silicon Charm Alliance in peacetime.

From another point of view, the current scene of the Agadilon Fortress is also a manifestation of the strength of the Hidden Spirit Clan.

If there is no strong strength, not enough self-confidence, and no absolute certainty, will the Hidden Spirit Clan civilize the most important military fortress near the home planet? If it were a human federation, let alone near the home galaxy, even in the distant Greenwich meteorite belt, such an important military fortress would never be used for civilian use.

As the "Tianjiao" approached the dock, the patrol ship leading the way flew away.

"Let's go."

Under Yang Yi's greeting, Shen Chengwen, Jackson and Yujiao followed, but it was not Yang Yi who led the team in front, but Lin Feng.

Although Yang Yi is the envoy of the Human Federation, and the others are all entourage, they have not yet identified themselves, and Lin Feng is the captain of the special investigation team. According to what the two had discussed before, they would only reveal their identities after figuring out the position of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and before that, Lin Feng would come forward to deal with it.

Of course, if Yang Yi hadn't guessed wrong, the Hidden Spirit Clan wouldn't have embarrassed them.

Because it is protected by an energy barrier, there is no need to wear protective clothing, and the temperature on the dock is a bit cold, mainly because the hermit people are more suitable for colder environments.

When the group stepped off the ship, there were already people waiting for them on the docks.

It's an officer, but it's also possible to be a soldier. The system of the Hidden Spirits is not quite the same as that of the Human Federation, with the administrator also serving as the commander of the army.

Apparently, this person was an administrative officer here, as well as an officer of the fortress.

Yang Yi noticed that this person's status would not be very high, and he did not look like a member of the royal family. Perhaps, the news of their arrival has not yet spread, or the Heavenly Saint Emperor has other intentions. It's just that no matter what happens next, it is impossible for Yang Yi and them to retreat at this time. (To be continued......)
