Orion arm.

Death Nebula Periphery.

"Commander Kyle, there's something going on over there in the Hailan Galaxy!"

"The Hailan Galaxy? If I'm not mistaken, the Thor people are responsible, right? ”

Hearing the adjutant's report, Kyle was slightly stunned, but after all, he was not far from the floodlight star system, and he still had some impressions.

"Yes, the Sers, they have a fleet over there."

"What's wrong?"

"Because the Thor's fleet was missing, I sent someone to the Hailan star system to investigate, and it turned out that all the Thor's warships had been destroyed, even their war fortress."

"Huh? Who did it? ”

"I don't know, but all the 500 million humans on Hailan's side have been taken away..."

Hearing this, Kyle's eyes lit up with a fierce light.

You don't have to think about it, it must have been done by humans.

Moreover, they do have the ability to do this, after all, the Thor are only a second-order primary civilization, and the human cruiser with shields and energy weapons alone is enough to beat those second-order civilization warships of the Thrors.

"Is there any other place where this happens besides Hailan?"

"There's also a report from Canberra, that shortly after the departure of its main fleet, the Scorpion Pirates have directly entered the star system and stolen a large amount of Ielo metal ore."

"Only robbed the Iroh Metal Mine?"

"Yes, they left immediately after robbing the Iroh Metal Mine."

“......”

Kyle was stunned again.

He was not surprised by the behavior of the Scorpion Pirates, but rather that he had expected this to happen.

After all, the main fleet has left, and there are only a dozen or twenty warships left, and those large pirate groups will sooner or later attack the idea of these places.

But what is the operation of just grabbing the Iroh metal mine?

Kyle knows this ore, after all, it's very rare, super rare, so rare that in the entire galaxy, there are less than ten planets with this ore.

It stands to reason that such a rare resource must be of high value.

But in fact, no one wants this kind of Ailuo metal mine, even if it is the price of cabbage.

Because he doesn't have any characteristics!

So, the Ailo Metal Mine also has a nickname called...

The most scrap metal!

Then the question is, what are the scorpion pirates doing to rob this thing?

It's so weird, if it were usual, Kyle would have to figure it out, but now...

He doesn't have the energy!

"Regardless of the scorpion pirate group, is there anything else?"

"No, these are the two places that have problems at the moment!"

"You can put the matter on Canberla's side for a while, but Hailan's side, let me check it out!"

"Yes, Commander!"

After the lieutenant left, Kyle quickly operated on the armrest of his captain's chair.

Immediately, a three-dimensional star map was projected in front of him, and on this star map.

In the star map, there are a few green dots that flicker slightly.

"This damn nebula, it's really troublesome, it's only been a few months to get this fruit!"

------

The Heavenly Galaxy.

Inside the Star Battle Star.

"Captain, all systems of the Star have completed self-inspection!"

"Chen Xiaoguang, take us out of the airport."

"It's the captain!"

In ten days, although it is not said that the battleship has been thoroughly figured out, there is no problem in basic control.

The rest can only be familiarized with as you use it.

After all, time was pressing, and Jiang Xingchen had no more time to waste.

Speaking of which, the handling of the Battlestar is very different from that of a regular warship.

Take the helmsman as an example, a conventional warship, whether it is a frigate, destroyer, cruiser, or battleship, etc., has only one helmsman.

But the Battlestar is different, he needs a main helmsman and two co-helmsmen, a total of three people to work together, in order to control the battleship properly.

If there is a reason, it is that the battleship is too big, and there are too many various propulsion devices on the hull.

Take the auxiliary thrusters used for attitude control of battleships, there are thousands of them in the whole ship.

One person can't control it.

In fact, this is true not only for helmsmen, but also for other positions.

So, the bridge of the Battlestar is very large, ridiculously large.

And in this huge bridge, it is directly designed by department.

For example, the helmsman department is headed by Chen Xiaoguang.

For example, in the weapons department, there are twelve people headed by Wang Feng.

Another example...

There are all kinds of departments, and when they add up, there are hundreds of people, can this bridge not be big?

And that's not even a full match.

According to the standard configuration of the Star, excluding the carrier-based combat vehicle department, the crew should be 5,875 people, but now there are only 3,000 people.

If you count the departments of carrier-based combat vehicles, pilots, ground crews, technicians, and so on, after all add up, the number of crew members on the whole ship will directly exceed 10,000.

"Captain, the departure of the Star is complete."

"Goal setting, Ingres Galaxy, hyperspace engine activated!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoguang was still a little panicked at the moment.

Although he has simulated countless hyperspace voyages in the past ten days, this is the first time he has actually started it in reality.

Not to mention him, in the entire galaxy, except for Jiang Xingchen, it is estimated that no one has carried out a hyperspace voyage.

However, Jiang Xingchen was on an unmanned shuttle ship at the beginning.

So, in a sense, what Chen Xiaoguang is doing at the moment is...

The first battleship in the galaxy to sail into hyperspace.

Well, it's like the first flight of a fighter!

To say that this is not tense at all would be a lie.

"Coordinates locked, Ingres star system."

"Hyperspace Engine Activated!"

"The magnetic field has been fixed, open the hyperspace window!"

A bizarre scene appeared.

In front of the Star, a blue spiral window suddenly formed.

The next moment, the entire battlestar looked like it had suddenly accelerated, and it rushed directly into it.

------

"So, multidimensional space is real?"

Looking out of the porthole, the colorful streamers kept passing around the battleship, and the gorgeous scene made Fu Wanting a little stupid.

I didn't even come back to my senses after standing like this for several minutes.

"Of course it is, aren't you flying in there now?"

"But... Why do we still have three-dimensional form? ”

"Well, this would be complicated to explain, and you can understand that the hyperspace engine has created a barrier that isolates all multidimensional space from the inside of the barrier."

"So, as long as the hyperspace engine doesn't malfunction, we can always fly in multidimensional space?"

"Theoretically, this is the case, but it can't be done yet, because even the battle star still uses controllable fusion energy, although it is tens of thousands of times more powerful than the controllable nuclear fusion in the era of the home star, but it definitely can't support the continuous operation of the hyperspace engine for too long."

Shaking his head, Jiang Xingchen explained.

He could imagine that the zero-point energy technology was definitely developed by his mother and specifically designed to solve the energy needs of the hyperspace engine.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to realize that technology in a short period of time.

"What is the maximum sustainable hyperspace time of the Star?"

"According to calculations, it can last up to 18 minutes, and it can travel about 800 light years."

"That's enough!"

"In the galaxy, it is indeed enough, but if you want to get out of the galaxy in the future, energy is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed."

Of course, humanity doesn't need to go out of the galaxy anytime soon.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xingchen silently added another sentence in his heart.

After all, if humanity wants to regain the mountains and rivers and then dominate the galaxy again, this is not something that can be accomplished in three or five years.

------

More than ten minutes later.

"The Star is about to exit hyperspace, and the countdown is 3 seconds."

“3...”

“2...”

“1...”

"Report, the first hyperspace voyage of the Star has been completed, and it has now withdrawn from multidimensional space."

"Location is being determined!"

"The measurement is complete, 35,000 kilometers outside the third planet of Ingres, and the coordinates are not deviated!"

"Report, scanned 1 cruiser, 3 destroyers, 18 frigates, azimuth 1-1-7, distance 9.7 light seconds."

"Report, full communication signal shielding has been completed!"

"Report..."

In the bridge, all kinds of reports kept sounding.

According to the plan, as soon as the Star arrived here, the communication signal was blocked.

As the most powerful battle star of the Star Sea Federation, it is too easy to block the communication of a third-level civilization.

Of course, after the common communication methods are blocked, the other party can also use some backward short-distance communication, such as light signals, laser communication, etc., which cannot be shielded.

But it doesn't matter, for Jiang Xingchen, as long as he can block his remote communication, it will be enough.

"Chen Xiaoguang, the sub-light engine starts, the maximum combat speed, catch up!"

"Yes, Captain!"

At the same time, about 3 million kilometers away.

Stationed here is a third-level civilization called the Kingdom of Wilton, and like other civilizations, most of the warships stationed here at this moment have been requisitioned to the side of the Death Nebula.

The rest is only 22 warships.

Although this sudden appearance of the enemy, there is only one warship.

But...

The people of Wilton were completely frightened.

"Commander, this thing is the legendary war star, the strongest warship of mankind, right?"

Inside the cruiser, the adjutant pointed to the Star in disbelief and said in a trembling voice.

Battlestar!

Even after more than 400 years, the name is still in the Milky Way.

Of course, most of them are in the form of legends.

But this does not affect the instinctive fear of these low-level civilized people for this kind of warship.

"Quick, call the other party and confirm your identity!"

"Commander, our communications are all blocked, and we can't call at all!"

"Then what are you waiting for, surrender quickly, that's a battle star, even if the garrisons of the four major civilizations of the floodlight star system are exhausted, they will only be abused, let alone us?"

"Commander, no, the communication is disrupted, even if I want to make a request for surrender, I can't do it..."

The communications officer was about to cry.

I want to surrender too, but I can't...

"Commander, the other side has attacked... From 8 light-seconds away! ”

Hearing this, the commander was directly stunned.

An attack from 8 lightseconds away?

It's outrageous.

"Quick, notify all warships to evade urgently!"

"Commander..."

Looking at the innocent look on the communicator's face, the commander reacted sharply.

Communication is interrupted and unusable...

I can't get this order out!

A few seconds later, eight beams of terror particles swept by, directly blasting the eight frigates.

In the bridge, everyone was stunned.

But soon, the commander finally reacted.

"Quick, turn off the ship's engines, take all weapon systems offline, immediately, immediately!"
