Just three days later, this small exploration team left the galaxy. They concluded that there were no unnatural traces here for the time being. ±, this is actually not surprising. The nebula is really too big, and what these detection teams initially detected was only the edge.
The exploration ahead is unfolding bit by bit; the Deno civilization behind is also "slowly" advancing.
And in the nebula, the Chinese fleet is also beginning to prepare!
The two sides have actually started a competition. The difference is that so far, the Deno civilization does not know that it has been exposed - or in other words, in their eyes, the Chinese civilization is only a third-level civilization, or at most a fourth-level civilization. If it hadn't been for the warning given by the Son of Deep Blue, he might have plunged into the nebula without any search.
In Marshal Mars' thinking, the danger in this nebula is likely to come from the danger of the nebula itself - such as the explosion of a neutron star; of course, problems with the Chinese civilization itself do not rule out; although Mars is a bit arrogant about this , but not a fool. Being able to serve as the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force is something that not everyone can do!
To put it bluntly, even if he encounters a sixth-level civilization, General Mars is sure to take away most of the main force safely - well, in theory.
However, the warning from the Son of Deep Blue cannot be ignored! This thing, in the Deno civilization, has always been a model of "always correct". As long as there is a warning, there must be danger; of course, the danger level may not be really that accurate, but there is always danger. This is Can't go wrong.
Day after day...
In the blink of an eye, it has exceeded half a year!
China has been in this intense state of preparation for half a year; and the Deno civilization has also been exploring the Dan Nebula for half a year.
But neither side made any moves. In an interstellar war, patience is also a very important quality! A military operation in the starry sky that is often measured in light years. It’s not a big problem to delay it for decades! When China went on an expedition against mechanical life, the journey alone took decades!
This is the interstellar era!
Finally, one day, the Deno civilization detection team, which was exploring unscrupulously, discovered some traces of Chinese civilization, and then more and more...
"We can't wait any longer!" Zhao Ke's adjutant was a little anxious.
"No, it's not enough!" Zhao Ke chuckled. "Xiao Qingshan, do you know why you are still the adjutant now?"
"Commander, my name is Xiao Qingshan, which means Pingsheng; not Xiao Qingshan!" Xiao Qingshan looked serious.
"Pfft... Okay, I didn't expect that a serious stone like you could tell a joke. Now, listen up, as a general, the most important thing is patience!
Even now the enemy is pointing a laser gun at you. As long as the shot hasn't been fired, there is still a chance! At this time, what is needed even more is patience.
Didn’t they just find some traces of us? No, it's not enough, I also want them to see the broken starry sky! ”
Broken starry sky?
Of course there are traces of making the starry sky steel behemoth! To be precise, there is an area there, within an area of about 30 light-years, where all the rocky planets have disappeared. Only a large amount of wreckage and debris shrouded it! Here, it can be said to be a nebula among nebulae. Only the solitary star is still... wrapped in a star collar, constantly providing energy to mankind.
"Thank you, Commander, for your teaching!" Xiao Qingshan saluted, and then... continued to stand.
Zhao Ke looked at Xiao Qingshan, who was a bit rigid, and smiled helplessly. He had always been his deputy. They have all developed greatly. After all, you need to be knowledgeable to be with you; but the latest Xiao Qingshan is more like a bodyguard and more like an assistant. But since this person can be elected deputy, he is not useless. There are still advantages, that is: meticulous! This was done so that Zhao Ke couldn't even find a problem.
…………
In the starry sky, after another two years of exploration, the Deno civilization finally arrived at a place that the Chinese civilization had abandoned after resource development!
"No, this is definitely not the relics of the Chinese civilization! Maybe, yes, this should be the relics of a more advanced civilization, and the Chinese civilization wants to monopolize it!" Tanggula Adams Red said almost certainly.
Looking at the star collar that surrounded the entire star, looking at the dilapidated starry sky with all the rocky planets disappeared, it looked like a mining and energy collection site for a more advanced civilization.
"How are you sure this is not something from Chinese civilization?" Marshal Mars looked at Tanggula Adams Hong, his tone full of heaviness. Anyone who sees such a scene will be shocked!
Within 30 light-years, everything is ruined and looks like an abandoned mining field; and within 30 light-years, nearly a hundred stars have all been put on star collars. This is obviously "captive", and what is not enough to harvest is the crystal clear patches. energy block! The flickering brilliance of the energy block is almost the most beautiful gem in the world, the most alluring brilliance. Even Marshal Mars is looking at the information sent back with greedy eyes!
Energy, this is something that no civilization can ignore! The energy of primitive society was food; and the energy of the interstellar era was this energy block! Perhaps the Deno civilization cannot directly utilize these energy blocks, but the technology can be used for reference! Directly trapping stars, this technology alone is enough to shock people!
Therefore, the first time he saw this place, even Marshal Mars wanted to take this piece of starry sky as his own! As long as there is an energy supply from these nearly a hundred stars, this fleet of ours can continue to fight! As for the lifespan of a star, it is calculated in terms of hundreds of millions of years. It can almost be regarded as an inexhaustible energy source!
At this time, Tanggula Adams Hong actually said that this might be from the Chinese civilization, which made Marshal Mars feel a little harsh! Are you sure this can be built by a level three civilization?
"Occupy this place!" After comprehensive analysis, General Mars finally made up his mind to occupy this place and then analyze the technology here! Although the Deno civilization is a level five biological civilization, biological civilization also requires energy! Generally speaking, as long as it is not particularly weird, the energy source of interstellar civilization is basically the stars that have no way to escape! Unless they discover something special!
And obviously. Although this Deno civilization is somewhat special, its main source of energy still comes from stars! This sentence is basically nonsense. A huge sun hangs in the sky like this. The energy generated in one year is enough to meet the lighting needs of a living planet for hundreds of millions of years, as long as there is no problem with the brain. Any civilization will use stars as energy sources.
"This... will be dangerous!" At this time, even the Son of Deep Blue was a little opposed.
"Your Highness," Mars looked at the Son of Deep Blue, "If we can get this kind of technology, even if our fleet is destroyed, it will be worth it!"
At this moment, Mars is a saint who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the development of the nation!
The Son of Dark Blue looked at General Mars and suddenly sighed. "Sure enough, it's danger level eight! Hey, even if I know there's danger ahead, I still can't avoid it! Even I can't resist the temptation!
Fight for energy! ”
A star necklace with a rugged appearance but an extremely delicate interior. Among cosmic civilizations, this is a diamond collar!
However, the Deno civilization is a level five civilization after all, so it is also a bit worrying. If this is really a legacy of Chinese civilization, could it be a trap or something? So. They first dispatched a 100,000-strong fleet for preliminary exploration, but the main fleet remained outside! Greed is greed, but you still have to have some sense!
——————
"They are too careful!" Xiao Qingshan has been enduring this for three years in the Chinese fleet that has been hidden deep in the nebula.
"Why are you so anxious? Haven't they already taken the bait? Be a hunter. Especially a hunter in the interstellar era must have unparalleled patience! Only one who is more patient than the prey can become a hunter!" Zhao Ke is still tepid .
"But, Commander, if we wait any longer, they will crack all the technologies!" Xiao Qingshan looked increasingly anxious. China pays close attention to stellar collar technology, and the Ice Civilization also spent countless technologies in exchange for it. Energy is food. In the interstellar era, apart from technology, what we compete for is energy!
Without energy, no matter how powerful a battleship is, it is just a steel shell! Useless.
"Don't worry, they can't get any skills at all! Now, the most critical moment has come!" Zhao Ke's eyes began to flash with cold light!
"Huh...Commander, I've always been a little confused. Although this civilization has 7 million warships, why don't we just rush up and defeat them all! If we mobilize troops from the surrounding military regions, we can at least piece together 8 million warships. By then, It can definitely knock down the enemy in one fell swoop!”
"It's very simple, training!" Zhao Ke looked calm, "Chinese civilization is about to undergo a great cosmic migration. Do you think that during the cosmic migration, will it be calm? Or will it be rough and dangerous?"
"Of course it is full of dangers! Not to mention whether there are other civilizations, the universe itself is full of dangers. Not to mention, the empire's current population has climbed to hundreds of billions. If you want to put down such a large population, you need a huge Star regions, and they will definitely choose star regions like the Pearl Star Region. There are usually civilizations in such a star region!
In other words, even if the migration is completed, the most brutal battle will break out in the final stage! "This is Xiao Qingshan. Although he is a bit rigid, he does things without revealing anything; and this also includes thinking.
"Yes! So from now on, we will train to fight!
Since Chinese civilization entered the interstellar era, we have experienced too few battles! And the cosmic space we are in contact with now is only a small part of the Milky Way! We can't imagine what it would be like in the universe!
Wasn't it previously determined that the three level-7 civilizations left the galaxy because they received an invitation from the Grand Federation of Cosmic Civilizations? And if our Chinese civilization wants to develop faster, we will have to go there one day! But come to think of it, it will definitely not be a peaceful place!
War is the best means to promote the development of civilization; and some difficult wars are also the best means to let us maintain a sense of crisis! Chinese civilization can be what it is today without a sense of crisis! And war can catalyze this sense of crisis to the greatest extent! The sense of crisis, in turn, can promote the progress of science and technology!
In fact, this battle was ordered by His Majesty Taizu! "Zhao Ke finally broke the news! (To be continued...)
