Chapter 612 The Vanished Empire Going to the Star Ring Trade
Luo Jia demonstrated his usual characteristics of taking odd steps. Without any training or training, he personally led the Earth fleet and rushed straight to the lair of the Galen Empire.
However, when the reconnaissance ship returned, it brought unexpected news that the outpost of the Galen Empire disappeared.
"How is this possible!" Mel said anxiously: "Have you ever carefully scouted? The Empire Outpost Colony is just three days away from the fixed wormhole. In addition to guarding the entrance of the wormhole, it also plays a role in covering up people. It grows crops and breeds livestock and aquatic products locally. It looks like an agricultural colony, but behind the scenes, it hides the Empire's large military power."
Through Mel's introduction, Luo Jia already knew that the Galen Empire regarded this hidden fixed large wormhole as its forbidden body and refused to share it with anyone. They set up outposts and pretended to develop agriculture, but in fact they secretly used the wormhole to explore the Milky Way.
The Earth fleet entered the Galen Empire, and the military outpost was the first obstacle.
However, Huang Zan went to the opposite side of the wormhole and returned and said that the outpost was gone, the colony was gone, and even the large space station was not scanned. This made Mel feel incredible. After all, giving up the outpost military base is equivalent to giving up control of the wormhole.
Passing through the wormhole is the Milky Way galaxy with a diameter of 120,000 light-years. So far, the Milky Way has not found any other intelligent life except the earth. Having control of the wormhole is equivalent to owning the resources of the entire galaxy. The Galen Empire will never give up easily. Compared with the dangerous and densely populated stars, the Milky Way is simply a virgin land with milk and honey.
Huang Zan shrugged helplessly, feeling that Mel suspected him and was a bit insulting his IQ. The main member of the Earth Fleet, a group of e-sports experts from within Xingchen Technology. Huang Zan is the best among these e-sports experts. Although he can't compare with Shen Lang, he is also a ruthless character who has led the team to win the Intercontinental Championship.
If we look at it from the perspective of the older generation, the Earth Fleet can piss off traditional soldiers to death. Before the fleet set off, even the generals asked Luo Jia to complain. It was too outrageous. There were not many serious soldiers. Instead, the game masters grabbed it one by one. Young people like Luo Jia would not regard war as e-sports, right?
Science and engineering otakus, game maniac, such a group of people form a fleet?
Is it reasonable?
However, the development of history will never be changed by personal will. Unconsciously, the times have completely changed. Even in the era when China did not move towards the sea of stars, the Earth War was already developing towards unmanned and e-sports.
Is it muscle or brain required to manipulate tactical drones?
The results are obviously self-evident. The smart brain and keen nerve response capabilities are far more important to tactical drone manipulation than to muscle development.
What's more, with the crazy development of life science, human beings are breaking through gene limitations. Gene liberation and proper exercise can easily help the glasses otakus get rid of thinness and have developed muscles.
In short, physical fitness can be exercised, but IQ is a flaw. In the past, when we were struggling with our bodies, it was not that geniuses were not allowed to go to the battlefield, but that geniuses could not survive on the battlefield.
If there is a choice, who doesn’t want to lead an army of high IQ talents?
Now, as robots and unmanned combat machinery become the main force, the geniuses' IQ advantages can be used, so Luo Jia seized the opportunity to form a high IQ army.
Strong and ferocious soldiers are still examples in the army, but thin men with glasses are also qualified soldiers and play a crucial role in the army. This is the Chinese army in the new era, with muscles and IQ more important.
"Forget it, now is not the time for disputes." Luo Jia waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple to find out the reason. Let's go to the opposite side of the wormhole!"
...
Swish swish swish swish ~
After careful reconnaissance, the Earth Fleet left half of the starships, and the remaining ships, led by Luo Jia and Shen Lang, passed through the wormholes and entered the stars.
Luo Jia didn't know how to define stars. It is a super-large star area, a bit like the Milky Way, but it is far wider than the Milky Way, with irregular polyhedrons in shape, and the total area is about ten times more than the Milky Way.
Even with a five-light-year-a-hour jump engine, it takes 36 years for the Earth fleet to cross the stars, and the time required to travel across the Milky Way is only two years and nine months.
It seems that distance among stars is the biggest problem, but according to the star map, there are many fixed wormholes in the stars, like high-speed bridges, which can greatly shorten the distance between two points.
From ancient times to the present, these fixed wormholes have been a place where military strategists must compete for. Major civilizations often fight for wormholes.
In this case, the Garen Empire located on the edge of the country was lucky enough to find a hidden wormhole, which made the empire ecstatic. The wormhole jumped out of the stars and reached the distant galaxy, which was even more lucky than winning the special prize.
Until they met Xingchen Technology while exploring the Galaxy...
"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone..." When I discovered the outpost of the Galen Empire and couldn't scan it, Mel had a bad premonition, and kept muttering as if he was in a daze.
"Don't worry, we have sent a reconnaissance ship to search on the spot, and there will be results soon." Luo Jia tried to comfort Meier.
The inability of optical radar system to scan outposts does not mean that the outpost does not exist. Perhaps due to interference and other reasons, it is not known that the outposts have signal distortion.
"Teacher, the Mole has arrived at the sign where the outpost is located." Soon after, Shen Lang said to Luo Jia.
"Project the signal onto the big screen." Luo Jia ordered in a deep voice.
Swish ~
The light flashed, and Huang Zan appeared on the giant command screen. Sweat appeared on his forehead and frowned: "After our investigation, we found that the outpost of the Galen Empire did not disappear, but was destroyed because of attack."
Under attack!?
Everyone was stunned. As Huang Zan played the on-site shooting scene, Luo Jia and the others saw the colony that was smashed into pieces. The three steeple-shaped monuments that symbolize the empire were cut in half, and there were ruins everywhere. The earth was cut, and the bunkers located underground were completely exposed. The humans and materials hidden in the bunkers turned into dust in the universe.
"A very neat cut." Shen Lang turned to Luo Jia and said in a deep voice: "It should be a laser weapon with high power, which is enough to cut off the moon."
Luo Jia gritted his teeth. Laser weapons may not necessarily represent advancedness, but laser weapons with power reaching the level of cutting satellites must be supported by top black technology. After all, the crystal technology, energy excitation technology, and energy accumulation technology required for ultra-high-power lasers are all very difficult.
"Who did it?" Luo Jia frowned and asked Mel, wanting to know from him whether the Galen Empire had powerful enemies.
Mel looked confused and said with a painful expression: "The Empire has no enemies at all! We are surviving with our tails on the stars, for fear that others will know that we have a blueprint for the curtain stealth system, etc... The curtain stealth system? Could it be that someone is targeting our stealth technology that he killed the enemy?"
"There is such a possibility." Luo Jia nodded slightly.
A top stealth technology with huge value, but it kills an empire with tens of billions of people because of this? It seems to be too cruel.
Are all the civilizations among the stars such cruel characters?
"Can it be the Star Ring Trade Group?" Luo Jia asked tentatively: "Star Ring Group knows your background. Maybe they are doing it themselves, or they sell the information to other civilizations in need."
Mel shook his head, "This possibility is very low, because Starring is one of the largest traders, and merchants are trustworthy. If they betray customers like this, it is impossible for them to do such a big business."
This is also...
Luo Jia thought that Hei Jian and Lan Yu had mentioned Star Ring Trade, and their reputation has always been good. In addition, Star Ring Group is likely to have mastered the star map, otherwise it would not be able to support the huge trading empire that spreads throughout the stars.
One day, two days, three days.
As more and more information was summed up on the Earth Fleet, Luo Jia finally understood that things had changed drastically.
On the afternoon of the third day, the reconnaissance fleet arrived at the old nest of the Galen Empire, the King's Arm Galaxy, and reported the tragic situation at the scene. Luo Jia and Meier finally confirmed that there was no Galen Empire in this world...
"You stay here and train the main fleet." At the meeting, Luo Jia instructed Shen Lang: "The fleet has not been polished or trained at all, so the stars have come. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they will complete the integration of the fleet first and then arrange the wormholes around it."
"After all, this wormhole is likely to be the only way to enter the Milky Way. Keeping here is crucial to both China and the earth."
After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "This time, the fewer people are, the better, and the smaller the goal is, the better."
"So you and Zhang Qidou stay here, I'll go."
