Chapter 408

As the three spaceships flew out of the wormhole, the ripples in the space slowly disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was no longer a place they were familiar with, but a strange star field.

In this star field, it is impossible to find out the position of the solar system with only one's own eyes, even Zhu Lei, who is now at the late Jindan stage, is the same.

So it is necessary to use instruments to find out where the solar system is and where he is now.

And since the fleet has just passed through the wormhole at this time, the most dangerous time is because there are generally a large number of nearby civilization warships stationed at the exit of the wormhole, and according to the information obtained before.

The star field that Zhu Lei and the others are in now is the star field where the black bear civilization is located, so it is called the black bear star field, so there must be a fleet of black bear civilization guarding here near the black hole. After all, every impulse is a source of danger. Even if they knew that it was impossible for the Ming Empire to use a few warships to attack their black bear civilization, they still had to make full preparations.

As soon as the fleet appeared in the normal space, all positions on the spaceship immediately became busy. The first thing was to determine the current position of the spaceship. The direction of the wormhole is the black bear star field.

However, for the sake of safety, the Ming Empire will never relax its vigilance until it is confirmed. Although it has previously collected data on this black hole through some unmanned facilities, as well as the entrance and exit of the black hole, it has been proved that the exit of the black hole is in the Black Bear Civilization. Area.

But even if this wormhole leads to the star field where the black bear civilization is located, Zhu Lei and the others must be fully prepared. After all, it is not certain whether the Ming Empire and the black bear civilization are friends or enemies. After all, the Ming Empire and the black bear civilization are now Neither side has a diplomatic mission or embassy in the other's territory, let alone anything else.

In fact, in Zhu Lei's plan, the territory of the Ming Empire will expand countless times in the future, and the black bear civilization is the future goal of the Ming Empire.

After all, to become a truly high-level civilization, not only must there be countless population potentials, but also a huge land area. Zhu Lei is not worried about the population at all, because if the birth policy is opened, the Ming Empire will be able to survive within a few years. Just double the population.

Now, the biggest obstacle that restricts the Ming Empire from advancing to advanced civilization is the land area of ​​the Ming Empire. Of course, the advanced civilization mentioned here is divided according to the standards in Zhu Lei's mall, not the advanced civilization in the Milky Way.

In the shopping mall, the territorial area of ​​advanced civilizations must be at least thousands of light-years, and some even have river systems as the unit. Therefore, once the Ming Empire advances to the sixth-level civilization in the future, it will be difficult to advance to the seventh-level civilization. And know.

Far-distance and close-attack are the most commonly used means of warfare, and in the entire galaxy, the material civilization closest to the Ming Empire is the black bear civilization, so if the territory of the Ming Empire is to expand in the future, then the black bear civilization will bear the brunt.

Of course, it will take a long time, because the territory of the Ming Empire is only tens of light-years away, and this is already the current limit of the Ming Empire. If you want more territory, you must first digest it within a few tens of light years. territory within light years.

According to Zhu Lei's estimation, the new round of expansion of the Ming Empire will be carried out after 1000 years, because after 1000 years, the territory of these tens of light years will reach the level of saturation with the population. By then, the Ming Empire will expand even if it does not want to expand.

Perhaps one thousand is already very long in the eyes of many people. After all, the average life expectancy of a general fifth-level civilization is only three or four hundred years old. Of course, this is purely for technological civilization, including biological civilization, because ordinary technological civilization cannot Compared with the life span of biological civilization.

Just like Vina, who came to the Ming Empire for trade before, its civilization is a sixth-level biological civilization, and its civilization is a pure biological civilization. The average life span of their civilization is very long. It is difficult for him to say that according to According to him, he has now lived for nearly 10 years.

And his remaining lifespan is 10,000+ years, but Wei Na and other civilizations also have their own shortcomings compared with technological civilizations, that is, the population of their civilization is very small. Of course, this is only compared with technological civilizations of the same level. The general population of the sixth-level civilization, scientific and technological civilization is in the trillions, but the total population of their civilization has just hit 10 billion. It is conceivable how huge the population gap is.

Of course, not every biological civilization is like this. Some biological civilizations have a very large population, which is very rare among biological civilizations. Generally, the higher the level of biological civilization, the smaller their population is.

Therefore, the Ming Empire must be on guard against the Black Bear Civilization. After all, the three giant space ships that came out this time not only contain countless resources and materials, but also the construction methods of these three giant ships and the materials used. Materials also have a fatal attraction to the black bear civilization, because the entire black bear civilization has not yet been able to manufacture such a huge space battleship.

The largest spaceship built in the entire history of the Black Bear Civilization is many times smaller than the three giant ships of the Ming Empire. What's more, due to the previous war in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way, the Black Bear Civilization was only affected, but this time This war also caused the technology of the Black Bear civilization to regress for many years. Even the super-large-scale space battleship construction technology they mastered was lost in this war.

Therefore, Zhu Lei immediately ordered the personnel to begin reconnaissance of the entire new area around the wormhole after the fleet passed through the wormhole, especially all targets within two light years of the fleet.

"Have we got any results in the specific place now?" Zhu Lei asked the soldier in charge of interstellar positioning.

"My lord, the positioning results have been obtained. We are now about 210 light-years away from the solar system. We have been flying in the wormhole for a total of eight months. At present, we are still more than 100 light-years away from the target we are going to. We must use warp speed to navigate, and we cannot use wormholes, so we must sail in the universe for about ten years to reach the Ocean of Light starfield."

The soldier in charge of interstellar positioning, after being asked by Zhu Lei, quickly answered Zhu Lei based on the star map purchased from Vina, the star map drawn by the Ming Empire itself, and the positions of nearby stars. Lei's question.

"Communication soldier, try to contact the headquarters of the Ming Empire, and see if the neutrino communication can reach the headquarters of the Ming Empire at this distance." Zhu Lei thought for a while and then said to the communication soldier.

"Good lord!" Afterwards, the communications soldiers on the spaceship and other spaceships in the fleet, as well as communications technology and scholars, began to use various methods to contact the headquarters of the Ming Empire.
