As a matter of fact.

Although Liu Tao is a little unreliable, he is not stupid.

He dared to break into the Balt system without too much information, and he was also sure of it.

Though...

Without artificial wormholes, these interstellar pirate alliances would not be able to access other galaxies within the Jadeite Cluster.

But this problem is not difficult for the Federation fleet.

Not to mention the 300 Pangu-class warships, even the 1,000 Zhurong II warships also have hyperspace engines.

Although it is impossible to travel tens of millions of light-years across the galaxy group, it is no problem to travel tens of millions of light-years inside the galaxy group.

Therefore, even if it encounters any powerful civilization, the fleet can completely use the hyperspace engine to run away and leave Balt directly.

There is no need to rely on wormholes at all.

------

Soon, the last month passed.

In the end, only 327 pirate regiments participated in the raid.

And, all of them were assembled in a star field called Olysses.

Although Liu Tao has participated in six robberies before, every time he comes here, he is still shocked.

It was a huge spherical device with a diameter of more than 30,000 kilometers.

Around it, there are countless stars arranged at equal distances.

Yes, all stars, not any other celestial bodies, at least a hundred thousand or more, spread over a large area.

And these more than 100,000 stars are the energy source of the artificial wormhole device.

Every time an artificial wormhole is opened, it needs to consume a huge amount of energy, and with the technology of the Star Pirate Alliance, it is simply not able to support the supply of this energy.

Fortunately, when this area was first discovered, there was already a stellar energy supply system of this size, and they didn't need to think otherwise.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

At this moment, the scientists brought over from the Federation on Liu Tao's ship were all very excited.

Although they already knew that it was an artificial wormhole device, they had been able to read the data and research each time they opened it.

In the end, it was found that the wormhole created by this thing was very different from ordinary wormholes.

If nothing else, a single month can cross a distance of millions of light years, which is not something that ordinary wormholes can do.

At the beginning, the wormhole in the Milky Way, connecting the Silver Heart Passage and the Orion arm, was only tens of thousands of light-years away, and it had already taken a month.

Therefore, the speed of passage has increased dozens of times, and it is still an artificially formed wormhole, what kind of technology is it?

These scientists are curious.

It's just that I only have the opportunity to read the data up close once a year, which is quite uncomfortable.

But it doesn't matter, when this raid is completed, the Scorpion Pirates will take the position of leader of the Star Pirate Alliance.

The control of this set of devices will naturally fall into their hands.

When the time comes, don't you want to study how you want to study?

As the massive device began to operate, the stars around it seemed to increase in brightness.

Immediately, it was as if it had entered a state of energy storage, and suddenly it calmed down.

It wasn't until about three minutes later that the whole device suddenly burst into a blinding light, and when everyone's eyesight gradually recovered, a circular swirling passage with a diameter of at least 100,000 kilometers...

Appeared!

In the distance, Kitamura, who was supposed to see him off, was inside the bridge of a battleship, watching this scene.

At the same time, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Go, go in, the door of purgatory has been opened for you, Liu Tao..."

------

Local group of galaxies.

The satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, the Dwarf Galaxy in the constellation Jade.

Pioneer Fleet Command.

Jiang Xingchen was looking at a report from the military headquarters.

This was the last report sent by the intelligence department before Liu Tao's seventh raid began.

"Calculate the time..."

"Today should be the day that kid leaves for the Bart system, right?"

Although it is a question, but on the side...

But no one answered.

At this moment, a colonel officer standing to the right of it had a straight posture and no expression on his face.

This is a staff officer under Gao Tianyang, who was originally also a major general of the old Star Sea Federation.

Since Fu Wanting was pregnant, after being recommended by Gao Tianyang, he has been temporarily taking the position of Jiang Xingchen's adjutant.

Although Fu Wanting had given birth to Jiang Xingchen's first son two months ago, it still took some time to return to the fleet.

Jiang Xingchen's biological parents are senior advisers to the presidential palace and vice presidents of the Central Academy of Sciences.

And the adoptive parents, one is the president of the federation and the other is the president of the Central Academy of Sciences.

In other words, the previous generation was all busy people and had no time to take care of his children.

As for Fu Wanting herself, she was born in the Dark Age's Floodlight Galaxy, and her parents were bought by other civilizations long before she was rescued.

I don't know if I'm dead or alive, even if Fu Wanting has been looking for a long time, she has never found it.

You know, now that the new federation has been established for almost 40 years, if you still can't find it, then there is basically no hope.

After all, all federal citizens are well documented, and if her parents were really still around, it would be impossible not to find them.

In short, whether it is Jiang Xingchen or Fu Wanting's side, no one can bring them children.

Therefore, even if Fu Wanting can return to the fleet in the future, Jiang Xingchen is not ready to let him continue to serve as his adjutant.

At least, for a short time.

After all, children must always be brought up, so before the age when they can stand on their own, it is better to let Fu Wanting serve in the headquarters for a period of time in a relatively relaxed department, right?

"Ling Xiao, what kind of civilization do you say will be in the Balt system?"

Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't react, Jiang Xingchen sighed slightly, and then asked again.

This time, it was directly named.

"Commander, in the absence of the necessary intelligence, I suggest a wild guess, it doesn't make any sense."

Well, I knew for myself that he would definitely say that...

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also rolled his eyes and expressed his speechlessness.

"Commander, the Fourth Legion has been missing for more than ten minutes!"

At this moment, a report sounded in the bridge of the Kaitian.

Fourth Legion, lost?

What's the situation?

Hearing the report, Jiang Xingchen immediately frowned.

Today, according to the latest establishment of the pioneer fleet, it is a 4+1 grouping.

That is, four corps, as well as a fleet directly under the command.

Each legion has three fleets, which means that the Pioneer Fleet currently has a total of 13 fleets.

At the same time, according to the current standard fleet of the Federation, each fleet is 10,000 warships at full strength.

And the entire development fleet should be 130,000 warships.

But in fact, each of the thirteen fleets that are now developing fleets has only 3,000 warships, for a total of 39,000 warships.

There's no way around it.

The pioneer fleet has now completed the refitting of Pangu-class warships, and Pangu-class warships are now affected by the production of zero-point energy modules, which is only about 5,000 per year.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go to complete the preparation.

As for the commander of the Fourth Legion, he is still Mu Qianshan, although he is acting.

But as long as the military rank is promoted, naturally, the word acting will be removed.

If I remember correctly, the Fourth Legion's current mission should be the very edge of the galaxy, Sextant A.

Moreover, the entire legion has been in this galaxy for several months, and the internal situation has long been figured out, and there is not even a fourth-order civilization.

It shouldn't be a problem.

But why did they lose contact?

"When was Mu Qianshan's last contact and what was the content?"

"Report, Brigadier General Mu Qianshan's last contact was three days ago, but the routine communication of the Fourth Army Corps was forty minutes ago, according to the regulations, the regiment that went out to fight must make routine contact every thirty minutes, but now it has exceeded ten minutes."

"Continue to contact the Fourth Army Corps, and at the same time prepare two strategic reconnaissance ships to go to Sextant A."

"Yes, Commander!"
