Chapter 856 - Crash!
How long does it take to get from Empire to Alien?
Without the Jump Gate technology, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to cover a distance of tens of light-years, whether at the speed of a Federation or an Imperial spaceship. Even with faster vehicles, such as the Federation's individual starships, it would take nearly 100,000 years to cross without considering the energy and various materials needed to carry people.
This is a time far beyond the existence of human civilization and imperial civilization.
In the process of developing into an interstellar civilization, an intelligent civilization will inevitably suffer various world-destroying disasters due to the environment of the universe, such as encountering a giant meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers or even larger before leaving the planet it was born on. For example, a stellar storm that is difficult to detect in advance, or a gamma-ray burst produced by a supernova Big Bang. For example, infectious and fatal diseases that cannot be cured by existing technology. For example, energy depletion......
In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters, such as war.
All kinds of intelligent civilizations born in the universe, as long as they have wisdom, will inevitably have the same individual and collective different desires and conflicts of ideas as human beings, which are the causes of war, and when the scientific and technological level of an intelligent civilization develops to a certain extent, such as mastering nuclear weapons, the outbreak of a full-scale war is very likely to lead to a catastrophe of extinction.
How many years has it taken for human civilization to develop from the birth of human civilization in the true sense to the present? Will human civilization still exist after 100,000 years?
If there was no jump gate technology, when the empire's earliest exploration spacecraft finally came to the solar system after hundreds of thousands of years, the blue star that human beings might live in has become a dead planet like an alien star. It's like the planets that the Empire has discovered that aren't suitable for them.
Or, it is the human race that has broken through the limits of science and technology again and again, and reached the Imperial Star after tens of thousands of years, only to find that the intelligent civilization of the Imperial Star has returned to a very primitive and backward era because of the world-destroying wars again and again.
At that time, the orangutans or monkeys of the Imperial Star are very likely to become the "protected animals" of the Human Federation or the Human Empire.
The meeting between the Federation and the Empire is due to the Leap Gate technology that should not have appeared on the Empire Star and was mastered by the Empire to a certain extent. According to the information brought back by Li Zhengfan, the third civilization that really developed the technology of the Leap Gate, and the intelligent civilization that Emperor Wu III called the ruin civilization, is also suspected to have experienced a crisis of ethnic annihilation, and may be completely annihilated in the universe by only a little bit.
Therefore, the probability of encounters between different civilizations in the universe is negligible, not only because of the vastness of the universe, but also because of the question of whether the civilization itself can continue smoothly and successfully develop into an interstellar civilization.
The probability of a meeting between the Federation and the Empire is even lower. It is equivalent to calculating the last digit of pi, which is impossible based on the current knowledge of human beings, but it is theoretically possible - what if the world was designed?
In the war between the Federation and the Empire, the strongest of the two civilizations is even less likely to meet directly on the battlefield - when he and it each have a position worthy of strength.
But this encounter is also an inevitability.
It's like a distance that takes more than 100,000 years to be able to cross, because of the existence of the Jump Gate technology, it was crossed by Emperor Wu III within twenty minutes of Federal Standard Time.
Ji Xinghe's unstoppable, Idakang's cowardice before fighting, etc., etc., etc...... Like the Leap Gate technology, which should not have been mastered by the Empire, it became an incentive to make the impossible possible.
Emperor Wu III, who was in the palace hall of the Imperial Star Martial Emperor City and was holding a great court meeting, did not give an explanation to its courtiers, nor did he give any explanation. When it said "I'm coming" to Idacon, it got up and took off its ornate and bulky robes in public.
At the same time, a whole new generation of Imperial Armor, which stood solemnly behind its throne side, had been activated and opened the cockpit door on its own. Under the stunned eyes of the courtiers, Emperor Wu III slowly entered it and controlled the mecha to leave the main hall.
At the same time, the miniaturized jump door device placed in the inner sanctum behind its throne had been activated
The relocation coordinates are the Empire's No. 1 jump base in Alien, located in the corresponding jump base of the Empire Star, and the jump gate of the jump base is also in the process of being activated and opened. Within twenty minutes, it would be able to reach the jump area of Jump Base One.
At the same time, the orangutans and monkeys who were located in the Alien No. 1 jump base by the empire, believing that their primary target was the jump base command center, and the secondary target was Ji Xinghe in the jump area, suddenly changed their direction of action.
It's like Ji Xinghe sensed that Emperor Wu III was coming. For example, the primary and secondary goals of Ji Xinghe are not what orangutans and monkeys recognize.
The reason is not important, the important thing is that the orangutans and monkeys in the command center of the jump base, in order to deal with the arrival of Ji Xinghe, on the last section of the path to the command center and the last section of the path to the jump area, all the preparations made - including Ai Dakang and Emperor Wu III, have become unimportant at this moment.
At least none of these preparations mattered until Ji Xinghe returned to the path they feared and looked forward to.
Aidakang, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped.
The self-proclaimed scheming man asks his staff and the base commanders in the communication channel.
"Where am I going to stop Ji Xinghe?"
It's a question, and it's a difficult one to answer.
When we know the target of the target, we can completely reach the target that the target will inevitably reach in one step, and then complete the operation with interception as the goal. But when the target of the target cannot be determined, how can it be intercepted in place first?
"Oxygen chamber! Ji Xinghe's goal is our oxygen supply tank!"
There is a staff monkey who said nonsense that is not nonsense, it hit the goal of Ji Xinghe, but it can't help Adakang make a choice.
For the location of all the oxygen supply chambers inside the base, Ai Dakang knew everything about it, and combined with the prompt information that appeared on the mecha's visual window, it had already seen the oxygen supply bin in the direction of Ji Xinghe's breakthrough at this time, and there were multiple travel routes.
But the time it takes to arrive on these routes allows it to be sure that Ji Xinghe will definitely arrive one step ahead of it.
Not only because Ji Xinghe was one step ahead, but also because Ji Xinghe was only wearing a single exoskeleton armor, and his body shape at this time was very flexible compared to that of driving the Emperor Armor.
Inside this jump base, not all places can allow the Prince Armor and Emperor Armor with a height of about seven meters to pass quickly, especially those areas that need to be heavily defended, under the premise of considering the possibility of the Federation attacking, of course, it is necessary to restrict the Federation's mecha as much as possible.
Although the Empire is well aware that the Federation's individual exoskeleton armor technology is much stronger than them, compared to the large mecha that can stack materials, the defense of normal individual exoskeleton armor is much worse.
The attack that Ji Xinghe encountered when he passed through the five gates was impossible for an independent regiment with all staff wearing individual exoskeleton armor to withstand, let alone complete the breakthrough.
Therefore, there is actually only one choice that Aidacom needs to make the most.
"General, your small mecha is not made of tungsten steel, and we don't recommend that you replace your imperial armor with a small mech."
There are staff members like roundworms in Idakang's alone, giving suggestions that are most in line with Idakang's interests.
The empire also has individual exoskeleton armor, but they are all called small mechas, how can the top magnates of the empire like Idacom not have a top-level individual exoskeleton armor exclusive to it?
But because of the limitations of the manufacturing process and materials, even Aidakang did not have the kind that Ji Xinghe wore at this time, and the main material was a single exoskeleton armor made of tungsten steel gold. Its individual exoskeleton armor is made of tungsten steel.
Compared with the two, there is naturally a significant disadvantage. Ai Dakang, who was already obviously afraid of Ji Xinghe, how could he dare to change his armor at this time?
What if after it changed its armor, Ji Xinghe changed the direction of its breakthrough again and ran over to snatch its emperor armor again? It's like, it was before.
"It's just that by destroying our oxygen supply warehouse, Ji Xinghe will not be able to capture our base, even if all the oxygen supply warehouses are destroyed. We've all put on our portable oxygen supply and are in combat mode......
"But what about the energy furnace, if Ji Xinghe wants to accomplish its purpose in this way, it will definitely destroy the energy furnace after destroying the oxygen supply chamber. Compared to the oxygen supply tank, the energy furnace is the real key, and the large number of defense equipment in our base needs a continuous supply of energy......
"We can't stop Ji Xinghe, because we can't gather enough forces in a small area, and Ji Xinghe has too many targets, we can't deploy heavy troops that can block Ji Xinghe in all the oxygen supply warehouses and energy furnace locations, and the ground war can't afford to lose."
"Not only the oxygen supply bin and energy furnace, but also our ammunition warehouse, what if Ji Xinghe also knew the location of our ammunition warehouse?"
"I don't think we need to defend, let Ji Xinghe enter, and then, we take the initiative to detonate the energy furnace or oxygen supply tank!"
In the absence of a single word from the general, the staff and commanders who can speak must have to discuss if they want to come up with an effective response, which is the reason why the orangutan has many words.
However, their discussions, while taking some time, finally came up with a solution that sounded crazy, but could work.
Whether it's energy furnaces based on controlled nuclear fusion technology, or oxygen supply chambers that constantly create and preserve large quantities of pure oxygen, the Empire has the means to use them as weapons to detonate.
The monkey staff member who made the suggestion added coldly: "If we don't blow it up ourselves, Ji Xinghe will also destroy that oxygen supply tank, and it is very likely that Ji Xinghe's destruction method will not cause a big explosion, because he is the strongest mechanic in the Federation." Even if we take the initiative to detonate the Immortal Ji Xinghe, we can also destroy the building structure in his area, and there is no road, how can he continue to walk? As long as we can delay the time until His Majesty comes, then Ji Xinghe will be dead."
As soon as it finished speaking, Idacom made a very decisive decision.
"Exploded!"
"Yes!"
The preparation of this order was not complicated, although the other orangutans and monkeys except for Ai Dakang did not know how Ji Xinghe determined the location of the oxygen supply chamber, but this did not prevent them from becoming more familiar with the internal structure of the base - under the prompting and guidance of the intelligent system.
The command center of the Imperial Jump Base, which is more familiar and can be faster, has completed the detonation arrangement when Ji Xinghe seems to have the ability to see through and quickly arrives at one of the twelve oxygen supply chambers of the jump base.
-----------------
Ji Xinghe's sudden change of direction was not because he sensed the interception of Idakang and the imminent arrival of Emperor Wu III, but because his goal from the beginning was not the command center of the Imperial Leap Base.
He wants victory, and if he wants to win, he can't do it alone.
Rush to the Jump Base Command Center and destroy the enemy's chain of command by yourself, only to deal with the newly built Imperial Jump Base III without Adacon. Rushing to the jump area of the jump base and destroying all the jump related devices with your own strength is also only applicable to the third jump base, even the second jump base in the Battle Scar Canyon can't do it, otherwise Ji Xinghe will not leave the alien star before.
So, how do you win?
Inflict as much and more damage as possible at Jump Base One, making the resistance of the Federation forces that are launching a general assault on the surface smaller and weaker.
From the moment he entered the inside of the jump base, all the information that was constantly escaping from the outside of the jump base, and all the information that came back before he completely lost contact with Ji Xinghe, all adhered to this concept to help Ji Xinghe win, and it can also be said that those energies were based on Ji Xinghe's will, in order to bring him victory, so they adhered to this concept.
Following those vents and lines, Ji Xinghe found the location of three oxygen supply chambers and an energy furnace in the process of rushing to the command center.
It's like when he fights with the air control armor, he can see the bodies of the enemy mechs that are blocked by the bodies of the enemy mechs
and its maneuvering.
Coupled with his intuition, a strong sense of crisis, how can he not change his direction?
This is different from the state in which it is difficult for Idacom to sense the crisis at this time, if Idakang can know the "induction" of Ji Xinghe, he may understand the gap between it and Emperor Wu III and Ji Xinghe.
Although all three have the ability to be gifted, there is an essential difference between the ability to be gifted through inheritance and the ability to awaken and master on their own - Emperor Wu III still has the ability to bestow after passing on the gift ability it has passed on to Idakang, or the blood of God. It doesn't come from copying, because the inheritance is like cutting, but it awakens on its own like Ji Xinghe.
Wearing individual exoskeleton armor and controlling himself as a mecha, Ji Xinghe is really an orangutan to kill apes and break walls inside the Imperial Jump Base.
Those passage gates and isolation hatches that did not have the function of completely sealing were already controlled and influenced by Ji Xinghe's ability to control the armor before Ji Xinghe got close to them, and then opened on their own.
Those orangutan soldiers who only have conventional weapons can't pose a threat to Ji Xinghe at all, on the contrary, once their weapons are captured by Ji Xinghe, they can inflict fatal damage on them, just like Ji Xinghe did in the Empire No. 3 jump base before.
But this time, Ji Xinghe didn't choose to use those weapons, even if those weapons could have a higher killing efficiency than his melee combat.
Because his goal is not to kill the enemy, but to pass quickly.
Therefore, he faced the interception of imperial forces that could not be avoided, or could not use the barrier-free space to pass quickly, and did not choose to fight with the goal of killing the enemy.
His choice was - bump!
Ji Xinghe, a "mecha" wearing a single soldier exoskeleton armor, did not regard himself as a mecha while treating himself as a mecha.
He regarded himself as an arrow that could not turn back after opening the bow, he regarded himself as a cannonball with no way back after being discharged, and he regarded himself as a knife that spared no effort to cut out.
The tungsten-gold light flickered and slowed, looming in the passage after passage, and each time it slowed, it knocked out patches of flesh and blood stumps, and each time it became faster, leaving the lucky Imperial blocking forces behind.
The supposedly smooth body was stained with more and more muddy flesh, like a new, gradient paint done with a high-pressure spray gun - until it was crimson.
It is like an indelible sin, an unforgettable hatred, which can only be ended by destruction, and only after the end can we be reborn in destruction.
At this time, Ji Xinghe was painful and happy.
The pain is the body, the pleasure is the soul, and the high-speed impact again and again is like a patient in unbearable pain grabbing the ground with his head, and it is like a powerful beating when repairing the damaged parts of a mecha.
But the intensity is not enough.
Ji Xinghe's speed was fast and he hit it very resolutely, but the imperial orangutans in front of him were too weak, like a soft bed, and what Ji Xinghe needed now was a steel plate.
The tungsten golden, crimson light, painfully and happily, crashed into an oxygen supply chamber at the Empire No. 1 jump base.
Before there was time to destroy, the voice of Idacom sounded here.
"Boom!"
