Chapter 875: The Throat Hub

The main gateway of the meteorite sea to the outside world is three large transgalactic wormhole passages.

These three wormhole passages are not far apart, it can be said that they are like three branches growing on the same tree, based on the same weak space-time gap, under the joint action of natural and artificial, and finally formed three large transgalactic wormhole passages.

These three wormhole passages are respectively linked to the three large galaxies outside the meteorite star sea, which can be said to be the most important gateway channel connecting the meteorite star sea galaxy and other large galaxies, and its importance is self-evident.

After all, the distance between the meteorite star sea galaxy and other large galaxies is extremely far, often hundreds of thousands or even millions of light years, which can be called an extremely long distance even for a cosmic-level civilization.

Without the existence of these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages, the difficulty of ancient civilizations to cross the long distances between large galaxies and expand and colonize the outside world would be unimaginably huge, and the cost would be extremely high.

And it is precisely because of these three wormhole passages that the ancient civilization was able to radiate its own energy to the outside world and expand its influence to more distant time and space.

However, although these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages were crucial lifeblood for ancient civilizations, for the existing cosmic-level civilizations around them, the importance of these wormhole passages was not so high.

The scope of the power of each civilization is limited, and how much territory a civilization can occupy and how much area it can influence is sometimes not only determined by the will and will of each civilization itself, but also depends on the strength and technological level of these civilizations.

However, the meteorite star sea galaxy is linked by the cross-galaxy wormhole channel, and the large galaxies have been the sphere of influence and radiation of ancient civilizations for a long time, not the traditional territory of the surrounding cosmic-level civilizations.

Moreover, even if it is a cosmic-level civilization, the scope of its development is limited, and it does not mean that where it can reach the farthest, it will develop all the way, which is not the case.

Like ancient civilizations, their development strategy back then was to plunder and loot resources as much as possible, grab all the benefits that they could grab as much as possible, and then use all the resources as much as possible on the foundation of their own civilization to develop the meteorite star sea galaxy.

This eventually led to the ancient civilization consuming and storing a large amount of resources in the meteorite star sea galaxy, and finally led to the extremely rich resources inside the meteorite star sea galaxy, even if it experienced a catastrophe of great destruction, the number of ecological planets that were finally rejuvenated is still countless.

But on the other hand, the large galaxies that are linked through the cross-galaxy wormhole passage and the meteorite star sea galaxy are all looted, which can be said to be three feet high and poor in resources.

This also leads to the fact that these three large galaxies are not valued by various cosmic-level civilizations, although these three large galaxies are infiltrated and controlled by some cosmic-level civilizations, but those cosmic-level civilizations are not too focused on the development of these three major galaxies, but they have formed some settlements in some key areas and occupied some star fields.

The cosmic-level civilization controls these three major galaxies, relying more on those super interstellar civilizations to indirectly control these three major galaxies.

Of course, the reason why this is the case is largely because those three large galaxies are relatively far away from those cosmic-level civilizations, even if there are some intergalactic wormhole channel transit links, they are also relatively remote areas, and it is a pity to abandon them if they are tasteless, which is not valued by those cosmic-level civilizations.

On the other hand, the three large galaxies linked by the Meteorite Star Sea belong to the marginal and remote chicken rib zone for the cosmic-level civilization to which they belong, and the Meteorite Star Sea Large Galaxy, which is a large galaxy that is one level farther away, is naturally even less valued.

If it weren't for the fact that the meteorite star sea had given birth to the ancient civilization of the universe in the past, it would be said that no cosmic-level civilization would have taken a second look at the meteorite star sea by virtue of the remote location of the meteorite star sea galaxy compared to those cosmic-level civilizations.

After all, a cosmic-level civilization is an extremely rare existence even in the vast sea of stars, and not just any large galaxy can give birth to a powerful cosmic-level civilization.

For those cosmic-level civilizations, the vast sea of stars can be developed and operated anywhere, and their energy and ability are limited, so not just any large galaxy is worthy of their energy and resources to develop.

And the meteorite star sea galaxy, a remote and declining galaxy, obviously belongs to the kind of area that does not have much development value for those cosmic-level civilizations, and the corresponding three cross-galaxy wormhole passages are naturally not valued by cosmic-level civilizations, let alone directly controlled by cosmic-level civilizations.

In fact, this is not only the case for cosmic-level civilizations, even for those super interstellar civilizations, these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages are of little value, if it weren't for the gradual stabilization of the internal environment of the meteorite star sea galaxy in the last tens of thousands of years, and the ecological restoration, the meteorite star sea is simply a dead Jedi where birds don't, or the good hands of geese who pluck their feathers can't get the slightest benefit from the meteorite star sea galaxy, such a garbage area, it is strange that some people care.

The intergalactic wormhole passage connecting such a garbage zone is not as valuable as an ordinary wormhole passage, and naturally no one cares about it.

That is, in recent years, the large galaxy of meteorite star sea has attracted more and more weak interstellar civilizations to settle in and develop, which has made the three intergalactic wormhole passages begin to become valuable, and only then has the interstellar civilization taken over the management and operation of these three wormhole passages, but even so, no interstellar civilization has really raised the importance of these three intergalactic wormhole passages to a strategic level.

For most interstellar civilizations, these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages do not seem to be much different from ordinary wormhole passages, they all belong to the consumption places that have to pay money when passing by, and in the process of their migration into the meteorite star sea, they have to go through about three or five dozen similar wormhole toll stations, which is not a matter at all.

Even the interstellar civilizations that directly operate these three wormhole passages only regard these three wormhole passages as a good income-generating channel, and they can't get enough oil and water if they are too fat.

Although the powerful civilizations that monopolized the trade of meteorite star sea spaceships regarded these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages as the central channels to control the spacecraft trade, none of them were ready to operate these cross-galaxy wormhole passages as strategic fortresses, on the contrary, they were only in charge of card fees, and the people in charge of wormhole management were not involved, but directly transferred a large number of obligations, affairs, etc. to the operators of the wormhole passages, which made people even more aware of the operating costs.

And the direct operators of these cross-galaxy wormhole passages, although they have made some good profits through wormhole passages, but because wormhole management is extremely complex, the tasks are complicated, and the oil and water are not too high, naturally they are even less concerned about the construction of defense facilities in wormhole passages.

For wormhole operators, setting up a spaceship docking dock, setting up a free trade zone, a commercial area, or something near the wormhole passage is the focus of their more attention, and it is more profitable.

Correspondingly, because of this business model that tends to be commercialized, it naturally leads to the extremely weak defense of these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages.

Of course, although in fact these three intergalactic wormhole passages are weak in defense and are not taken seriously, in the past tens of thousands of years, no force has dared to really attack these wormhole passages.

After all, no matter how much we ignore the importance of these three wormhole passages, the importance of these three wormhole passages itself still exists.

All civilizations know very well that once these three wormhole passages are taken, then the channel for the external link of the meteorite star sea galaxy will not exist, which is equivalent to cutting off the control of the cosmic-level civilization and super interstellar civilization over the meteorite star sea galaxy.

In recent years, this idea has become more and more prosperous and profitable as the meteorite star sea has become more and more profitable, and more than one interstellar civilization has long imagined it.

The serious exploitation of the meteorite star sea by the powerful civilization is not too secret, and the powerful interstellar civilizations in the meteorite star sea are extremely dissatisfied with this, and they don't want to have a group of foreign controllers entrenched in their heads all the time. Ambitious interstellar civilizations all want to control these three wormhole passages and cut off foreign black hands.

But in the end, no interstellar civilization dared to do it.

Because it is easy to take down these three wormhole passages and cut off the channels for the external communication of the meteorite star sea galaxy.

As long as you have to strike first by surprise, it can be said that an interstellar civilization with some strength can do it, not to mention taking down one side of the wormhole passage, even if it is both ends, it is not a difficult task.

But the problem is that once this thing is actually done, it is tantamount to directly challenging the interests of all stakeholders.

Those spaceship interest groups that have been affected by huge interests, they usually don't care, but once their interests are touched, people can mobilize a massive army in minutes, and they can crush all civilizations that dare to provoke right and wrong.

Therefore, these cross-galaxy wormhole passages are really easy to attack and difficult to defend, and those with a little strength can take them, but even the most powerful interstellar civilization in the meteorite star sea is difficult to hold this level.

Those spaceship interest groups don't think that these cross-galaxy wormhole passages will have security problems, and even if they are robbed, they can be snatched back at any time if necessary, so naturally they don't pay attention to defense or anything.

If there is really that blind civilization that dares to do it, maybe it can finally involve all the cosmic-level civilizations, which is not impossible.

Therefore, all the interstellar civilizations that wanted to do something to these cross-galaxy wormhole passages finally had to give up after careful consideration, because this hornet's nest is really not easy to poke, and no civilization thinks that it has the strength to clean up the situation.

But now that the league has stepped in, it's a different story.

The Meteorite Star Sea Alliance is not afraid of the colossal energy behind this wormhole passage, because there are people behind the alliance.

The strength of the alliance is limited, if it is only an alliance, of course, it does not have the grasp of dealing with those cosmic-level civilizations, let alone cosmic-level civilizations, even if it encounters a large-scale fleet of super interstellar civilizations, the alliance may not be able to hold up.

After all, although the alliance also has the production technology of faster-than-light spaceships, it is completely incomparable with super civilizations in terms of production capacity.

In the past, the alliance produced spaceships that were secretly and privately, lest the news leak and cause huge trouble to themselves, the production capacity is extremely limited, and the spaceship production line is also extremely limited, and it is more about being familiar with technology and mastering technology, so that the spacecraft reserves produced by the alliance itself are naturally relatively limited.

However, the super interstellar civilization is a powerful existence that often supplies the needs of spaceships in a small half of the large galaxy, and they have accumulated millions of years of time, and the troops, influence, and comprehensive strength they possess can be compared with the short-term accumulation of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance.

Therefore, after winning the cross-galaxy wormhole channel, if you only rely on the strength of the alliance, it is only to deal with a super interstellar civilization, and the alliance will also be beaten to the ground, and the chances of winning are very small.

But behind the alliance is the ancient civilization, and the ancient civilization now has the certainty of even the core strength of the cosmic-level civilization, so naturally it will not be afraid of the backlash after winning the cross-galaxy wormhole passage.

And with such a strong background behind it, the alliance can be called fearless, and several fleets really got all three wormhole passages with a light blow, without much effort.

Of course, winning the wormhole passage is only the first step in the long march, and whether you can really hold these choke points is the most important thing.

If the effort is lost in a few days, then this tough counterattack of the Meteorite Star Sea Alliance can only end up as a joke, and then the entire Meteorite Star Sea Alliance will inevitably be destroyed in the flames of war, and the grand cause will be in vain.

And if you want to really defend these three wormhole passages, it is far from enough for the alliance itself, and the more critical thing behind this is the power of ancient civilizations.

In order to be foolproof, the ancient civilization deliberately sent a part of the remnants to be stationed directly around these three cross-galaxy wormhole passages, which is completely different.
