Earth, late February.

The long period of stability made all the forces unable to sit still, so they held a conference to divide the territory of the solar system and plan adventures outside the solar system.

But the negotiation was not completed, or it could be said that the negotiation could not be completed in one session. It was estimated that no compromise could be reached even ten or eight times.

The reason is naturally interest. Whoever has more territory will have more mining areas, and whoever has more territory will be able to explode troops and produce Earth's version of space manned fighter jets.

…

House of Everything.

Sakata Gintoki, Shimura Shinpachi, and Kagura watched the news together and yawned out of sheer boredom.

Recently, people on earth have used alien mechanical legions to run around the planet, exploring and researching, and killing all the zombies they can see.

In addition, since the big wave in October last year, there have been no zombie changes until now, and everyone on the earth feels that the disaster has passed.

Even if the zombies come back, they can't shake the mechanical army. It's much safer and people are much lazier.

Many people have put down their spiritual practice and no longer work hard every day to make progress as if their back is on fire.

Mental training and thinking games are extremely boring. If it weren't for the sense of urgency, how many people would play games that would make them want to vomit.

Physical training is like playing with dumbbells to gain weight and lose weight. A few sets a day can get you through it, but the dumbbells are containers weighing several tons.

Only a few perseverant people are still working hard. Although many of them turn their practice into exercise, it can still be considered hard work.

…

March 15th in the Earth calendar, in the Slaphis star field.

The "10-Year Peace Treaty" verbally signed between Starfleet and the Bat-Star Thieves Alliance came into effect in the Slaphis Starfield, and Commodore Berrygood, the commander of the Starfleet stationed in Slaphis, took office.

According to the agreement between Starfleet and the Bat-Star Bandits, Starfleet can station up to 1,001 battleships in this area.

The flagship is a meteor battle city with a diameter of about 10 kilometers. In addition to a large number of naval guns, there are also 100 meteor naval guns. One gun can destroy an expeditionary starship without a defensive force field.

The team also includes 40 expeditionary starships and 1 million mecha troops.

There are also 8 patrol groups, each with 10 expeditionary starships and 20 shuttle carriers, 90 battleships, and 240,000 mechas.

There are 80 teams in total, and the patrol range is within one light-year of the Star Rafis.

In fact, they will only patrol within one light day, and the ones who are strictly guarded are the Bat Star Thieves.

The Bat Star Thieves Alliance can pass through the battleships of the Star Gate of Slapheus. Except for the central galaxy, as long as the other star gate is in the hands of the Star Fleet, it can pass 1,000 ships, and only 1,000 ships can pass through each time.

Passing 100 ships, the largest battleship is the expeditionary starship.

The other stargate is in the hands of other interstellar pirates, and Starfleet has no control over it.

In other words, no matter how many warships the Bat Star Thieves Alliance has, the number of warships that can be transferred to the star field controlled by the Star Fleet in a short period of time is only 1,000 expeditionary starships and 4,000 mechanical legions at most.

As for it taking decades or hundreds of years to teleport to another place, Starfleet has nothing to do with it.

As for the central galaxy, the Bat Star Thieves Alliance is not qualified to enter and is not allowed to enter.

…

At the same time, Starfleet delivered a civilian space city to the Bat-Star Thieves Alliance and 10,300 various warships.

Including 100 expedition starships, 200 shuttle carriers, and 10,000 general-purpose battleships.

There are no standard equipment such as mechas and maintenance centers inside, only non-core parts and energy modules.

The Bat-Star Thieves Alliance, including the repaired warships, has less than 13,000 ships, including 350 expeditionary starships and 550 shuttle carriers.

There are 6 million mechas and 2 million space fighters. We can produce 1 million space fighters or 400,000 mechas every 50 days.

Starfleet unofficially recognizes the dominance and rule of the Bat-Star Thieves Alliance over the Slaphis Starfield.

You can't deny it even if you don't want to. As for the scope of the Slaphis star field, there is no fixed number. In theory, it is only limited to Slaphis star. In fact, you can grab it yourself.

…

April 1st in the Earth calendar, Slaphis star field.

Shan Dai turned around with the battleship to join Yamazaki, and told Yamazaki alone that Kate had gained metal abilities.

Yamazaki's eyes lit up, and he thought about the logistics tacitly.

In fact, on the way back, Kate made the core components of the battleship with the help of the intelligent Miss Joan of Arc.

The intelligent person Miss Joan of Arc sketched out the holographic three-dimensional image, and Kate filled it with metal, and finally added the chip.

The chip is manufactured by the maintenance robot under the command of the intelligent person Miss Joan of Arc, using the maintenance center and processing center.

The stuck thing is the alloy material of the core system. Shandai analyzed the composition of the material, and Miss Jeanne Arc, the intelligent person, analyzed the atomic-level structure, but the machining center couldn't create it.

If there is no metal ability, it would be too difficult to use atomic level or even particle level control to create it.

Kate uses her metal ability to analyze and completely master the parts. At the same time, she can copy the whole and make another copy. The level of control does not need to be too high, depending on the size.

…

Shan Dai handed over the three captured female cadres of the Baroque Work Company to Yamazaki, and the other fleet personnel were secretly exiled to the Jie Town Prison Star.

Naturally, the name was newly coined by Shandai. It is located about 30 light-years outside of Slaphis. It is a planet with a gravity that reaches 100 times the Earth's gravity.

The prison was renovated from a general-purpose battleship. The people of the Baroque Working Group can only survive inside the battleship, and they will die when they reach the outside world.

In order to prevent anyone from coming to rescue them, Shan Dai deliberately sank the prison deep underground, cutting off all signals and basically not being discovered.

…

Book voiceover.

Replying to book friends’ questions can also be considered as explaining the background.

It is deduced from the basic condition that the Celestial Dragons rule the universe. I don’t think it is a setting. If you think it is, I will not refute it.

The interstellar pirates are indeed not united, but boycotting Starfleet is for the common good.

Betrayal is normal, but what is the use of betrayal?

In a country, such as our country in ancient times, they colluded with the enemy to betray their own troops, and then passed the information to the enemy, allowing the empire to ambush them.

This process may take at least a few days, or at most a few months.

Why is this? Because of the journey.

In the interstellar era, the movement is hundreds of light years away, and it takes hundreds of years to transmit information in the wild. There is no way to report the message in advance or to ambush.

Not counting the heroine Shandai, she has special intuition.

As for ambush where there is a star gate, it will have a chilling effect.

Yes, some people don't care, but the universe is very big, 15 billion light years, there are countless star thieves groups, and there are many star thieves groups who care.

Who do you care about the most? They are the Four Emperors and the Seventh Warrior, the famous Star Thieves.

Starfleet wants nothing more than to ambush them, so whenever Starfleet violates the agreement, especially ambushes near the Stargate, they have to step forward, otherwise one of them will be next.

It is true that there are short-sighted Star Thieves and some who operate behind the scenes, but if anyone does not stand up and becomes the enemy, no one will fall behind, because the Star Thieves also have interests in attacking the interstellar fleet.

Star Fleet can in turn attack all the Star Thieves without selling battleships.

But the universe is too big for the Star Thieves to attack them all. The Star Thieves can grab battleships everywhere, just like the protagonists do, using their fists to seize them.

You must know that in this book, the force that determines the situation of the battle is not just the number of battleships, but personal force is another factor.

The Star Thieves were driven into a panic and would attack the central galaxy to directly attack the Draco.

When the situation worsens, the Star Thieves will destroy all star gates, cut off all trade, and return the entire universe to the era of uprising.

The central galaxy is isolated, the star fleet dare not leave the dark zone, and other planets lose the central galaxy and develop again.

Then, a technological system that does not require a central galaxy can be developed.

This is something that the thoughtful people among the Celestial Dragons do not want to see.

Of course, it is also possible that the Celestial Dragons developed a higher level of technology and completely wiped out the interstellar pirates.

But during this period, the Celestial Dragons will suffer countless attacks, causing countless casualties, and the interstellar pirates will also suffer countless casualties. This is something neither party wants to bear.

As for the trade between pirates and the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons only trade with the Four Emperors and the Seven Arms and Eleven, dividing the strongest among the interstellar pirates.

But as long as the Starfleet crosses the line, especially ambushes near the Stargate, then the Star Pirates will rise up and cause trouble.

Maybe it's more intuitive to say it this way.

Because there are heroes like Whitebeard, the Starfleet does not dare to cross the line, otherwise Whitebeard will use his reputation to summon the Star Thieves from all over the universe to attack the Starfleet and even the Stargate.

And precisely because he is Whitebeard, countless Star Thieves will respond to the call and fight regardless, leaving the Star Fleet overwhelmed.

Taking the Battle of Slaphis as an example, it was the Batstar Pirates that restricted the number of local interstellar fleets.

Why don't the Batstar Bandits cut off trade? Because the Batstar Bandits want battleships.

Why doesn't Starfleet cut off trade? Because waiting for the opportunity, as for how long the opportunity is, a few years or decades, this is better than sending a fleet and spending decades to travel to Slapheus to rebuild a new planet.

Stargate.

Then, we have to prevent the Bat Star Bandits from destroying the Star Gate again.
To be continued...
