Technological Supremacy Chapter 612: The lost empire goes to the star ring trade
Luo Jia showed his characteristic of always taking a slanted sword. Without any training and training, he personally led the Earth fleet and headed straight for the old lair of the Galen Empire.
However, when the scout ship returned, it brought unexpected news that the outpost of the Galen Empire had disappeared.
"How is this possible!" Mel said eagerly: "Have you ever scouted carefully? The outpost colony of the Empire is just three days away from the fixed wormhole. In addition to guarding the entrance of the wormhole, it also serves as a deception , planting crops, raising livestock and aquatic products locally, it looks like an agricultural colony, but behind the scenes, there is a large military power of the empire hidden.”
Through Mel's introduction, Luo Jia already knew that the Galen Empire regarded this hidden and fixed large-scale wormhole as their own forbidden zone, and refused to share it with anyone. They set up outposts and pretended to develop agriculture. , but actually secretly use the wormhole to explore the galaxy.
The military outpost of the Earth Fleet enters the Galenic Empire, the first obstacle.
However, Huang Zan went to the opposite side of the wormhole, and came back to say that the outpost is gone, the colony is gone, and even the large space station has not been scanned. This makes Mel feel incredible. After all, abandoning the outpost military base is equivalent to Give up control of the wormhole.
Through the wormhole, it is the Milky Way with a diameter of 120,000 light-years. So far, no other intelligent life has been found in the Milky Way except the earth. Having control of the wormhole is equivalent to owning the resources of the entire galaxy, Galen The empire will never give up easily. Compared with the dangerous and densely populated stars, the Milky Way is a virgin land with milk and honey.
Huang Zan shrugged helplessly, feeling that Mel doubted himself, which was a bit insulting to IQ. The main member of the Earth Fleet is a group of e-sports experts from Xingchen Technology. Huang Zan is the best of this group of e-sports experts, although Can't compare to Shen Lang, but he is also a ruthless character who once led the team to win the intercontinental championship.
If you look at it from the perspective of the older generation, the Earth Fleet can really **** off the traditional soldiers. Before the fleet set off, even the general asked Luo Jia to complain. It's too outrageous. There are not many serious soldiers. Come on, young people like Luo Jia, don't they think war is an e-sport?
Science and technology nerds, game madmen, such a group of people form a fleet?
Is it plausible!
However, the development of history will never be shifted by personal will. Unknowingly, the times have completely changed. Even in the era when China did not go to the stars and the sea, the earth war was already moving towards unmanned and e-sports. direction of development.
Do you need muscles or brains to operate a tactical drone?
The results are obviously self-evident, smart brains and sharp neural reflexes are far more important for tactical drone control than muscular development.
What's more, with the crazy development of life sciences, human beings are breaking through the limitations of genes. Gene liberation and proper exercise can easily make glasses nerds get rid of emaciation and have well-developed muscles.
All in all, physical fitness can be exercised, but IQ is flawed. In the past years of physical fitness, it was not that geniuses were not allowed to go to the battlefield, but that geniuses had no way to survive on the battlefield.
Given the choice, who wouldn't want to lead an army of highly intelligent individuals?
It's all right now, with robots and unmanned combat machines becoming the main force, the IQ advantages of geniuses can be brought into play, so Luo Jia took no time to form a high IQ army.
A strong and fierce soldier is still a model in the army, but a thin and thin man with glasses is also a qualified soldier and plays a vital role in the army. This is the Chinese army in the new era. Muscle is important, and IQ is even more important.
"Forget it, now is not the time to argue." Luo Jia waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "If you want to find out the reason, it's very simple. Let's go to the opposite side of the wormhole!"
…
唰唰唰唰~
After careful investigation, the earth fleet left half of the starships, and the remaining ships, led by Luo Jia and Shen Lang, passed through the wormhole and entered the stars.
Luo Jia also doesn't know how to define the stars. It is a super large star region, a bit like the Milky Way, but far wider than the Milky Way, and its shape is an irregular polyhedron. The total area is about ten times larger than the Milky Way.
Even with a jump engine with a speed of five light years per hour, it would take thirty-six years for the earth fleet to travel across the stars, and only two years and nine months to cross the Milky Way.
It seems that the distance among the stars is the biggest trouble, but according to the star map, there are many fixed wormholes in the stars, like a high-speed bridge, which can greatly shorten the distance between two points.
From ancient times to the present, these fixed wormholes have been a battleground for military strategists. In order to compete for wormholes, major civilizations often fight.
Under such circumstances, the Galen Empire, located on the edge, was lucky enough to find a hidden wormhole, which made the empire ecstatic. This wormhole jumped out of the range of the stars and reached the distant galaxy. And luck.
Until they met Xingchen Technology in the process of exploring the galaxy...
"It's gone, it's really gone, it's really gone..." When he found out that the outpost of the Galen Empire could not be scanned, Mel had a bad premonition, and kept chanting like a lost soul. .
"Don't worry, we have already sent a scout ship to search on the spot, and we will have results soon." Luo Jia tried to comfort Mel.
The inability of the lidar system to scan the outpost does not mean that the outpost does not exist. It may be due to interference or other reasons that the signal distortion of the outpost is unknown.
"Teacher, the Mole has arrived at the location of the outpost." Not long after, Shen Lang said to Luo Jia.
"Project the signal on the big screen." Luo Jia ordered in a deep voice.
唰~
The light flickered away, and Huang Zan's figure appeared on the giant command screen. Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he frowned and said: "After our investigation, we found that the outpost of the Galen Empire did not disappear, but It was destroyed because it was attacked."
Under Attack! ?
Everyone was stunned. As Huang Zan played the live shooting, Luo Jia and the others saw the colony that had been smashed into pieces, the Tri-pointed stele that symbolized the empire was cut off in the middle, and there were ruins and walls everywhere. After being cut, the underground bunker was completely exposed, and the humans and materials hidden in the bunker turned into dust in the universe.
"A very neat incision." Shen Lang turned to Luo Jia and said in a deep voice, "It should be a laser weapon with high power, the kind that can cut off the moon."
Luo Jia gritted his teeth. Laser weapons do not necessarily mean advanced, but laser weapons with the power to cut satellites must be supported by top black technology. After all, ultra-high-power lasers require crystal technology, energy excitation technology, and energy accumulation. Technology and difficulty are very high.
"Who could have done it?" Luo Jia frowned and asked Mel, wanting to know from him whether the Galen Empire had any powerful enemies.
With a dazed look on his face, Mel said with a painful expression: "The Empire has no enemies at all! We have been tucking our tails between the stars to survive, because we are afraid that others will know that we have the blueprint for the curtain invisibility system, wait... the curtain system? Wouldn't it be because someone is eyeing our invisibility technology, so the killer is killed?"
"There is such a possibility." Luo Jia nodded slightly.
A top-notch stealth technology with huge value, but because of this, it kills an empire with tens of billions of people? It seems too cruel and merciless.
Could it be that the civilizations among the stars are all such ruthless characters?
"Could it be the Star Ring Trade Group?" Luo Jia tentatively asked: "The Star Ring Group knows your details, maybe they did it themselves, or sold the information to other civilizations in need."
Meil shook his head, "This possibility is very low, because Xinghuan is one of the largest traders, and merchants pay attention to reputation. If they sell their customers like this, it is impossible for them to make such a big business."
This is true...
Luo Jia ponders~IndoMTL.com~ Hei Jian and Lan Yu have both mentioned Star Ring Trade, and their reputation has always been good. In addition, Star Ring Group probably also has a star chart, otherwise it would not be able to support the huge trade that spreads across the entire group of stars. empire.
One day, two days, three days.
As more and more information was gathered to the Earth Fleet, Luo Jia finally understood that things had changed dramatically.
On the afternoon of the third day, the scouting fleet arrived at the home of the Galen Empire, the King's Arm galaxy, and reported the tragic situation on the scene. Luo Jia and Mel finally confirmed that there is no Galen Empire in this world anymore...
"You stay here and train the main fleet." At the meeting, Luo Jia told Shen Lang: "The fleet has not been polished and drilled at all, and the stars came here. Take this opportunity to complete the fleet integration first. Then arrange around the wormhole."
"After all, this wormhole is probably the only way to enter the Milky Way. Keeping here is very important to China and the earth."
After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "To go to Xinghuan Trade, the fewer people, the better, and the smaller the target, the better."
"So you and Zhang Qidou stay here, I'll go."
