Chapter 535

In the next few years, Zhu Lei and the officials of the Ming Empire were all preparing to go to the Milky Way. After all, no matter what is around the solar system or the Ocean of Light, they are all the fringes of the Milky Way. Even the Black Bear Starfield where the Black Bear Civilization is located is also the Milky Way. 's edge zone.

However, the current strength of the Ming Empire, although it has already occupied the Ocean of Light, has temporarily satisfied the current survival and living space of the Ming Empire, but the further development of civilization obviously cannot be satisfied with the status quo. The stage is necessary, and it is also a major strategic goal of the Ming Empire government.

And according to Zhu Lei's speculation, in addition to the known level [-] and level [-] civilizations, there may even be level [-] civilizations in the Milky Way. After all, it is impossible that the entire galaxy is so big that there is not even a level [-] civilization. It's just that because the civilization level has not been reached, there is no way to contact the existence of level seven civilization. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that there is really no level seven civilization in the entire galaxy.

However, the Milky Way is too big, with a distance of more than 10 light years, even a sixth-level civilization cannot say that it has explored all parts of the Milky Way.

The first goal of Zhu Lei's mission this time is a prosperous star field closest to the Ming Empire, which is the Orion Nebula about 1500 light-years away from the solar system. According to the data that humans have observed for hundreds of years, the Orion Nebula is actually It is a star manufacturing factory. Although there are no black holes in this area, the density of stars here far exceeds the ocean of light.

According to the estimates of the Ming Empire Space Center, the Orion Nebula is a product left over from an ancient star cluster, and its core diameter has reached a distance of about 20 light-years, and the entire Orion Nebula is far larger than the Ocean of Light.

There are even several star clusters similar to the Ocean of Light around Orion, and according to the information obtained from Vina, the civilization that controls the Orion Nebula is also a fifth-level civilization, and it is quite powerful even in a fifth-level civilization. , its scientific and technological strength is almost the same as that of the Ming Empire, and its military strength and cultural heritage far exceed the current strength of the Ming Empire.

So for such a civilization, it is still necessary to visit a powerful fifth-level civilization, the Ming Empire.

After all, the entire Milky Way is more than 1500 light-years away, and the Ming Empire is only [-] light-years away from the Orion Nebula.

The most important thing is that according to the exploration in the past few years, the wormhole 150 light-years away from the solar system leads to the direction of the Orion Nebula, but it does not arrive directly, and it needs to go through several wormholes in the middle to reach the Orion Nebula.

Therefore, although the Ming Empire is more than 1500 light-years away from the Orion Nebula, if you go to the Orion Nebula by conventional navigation or warp speed navigation, it will take at least nearly a hundred years to reach the Orion Nebula from the Ming Empire. If the hole passes through, the time required is much less.

It only takes more than ten years to reach the Orion Nebula from the Ming Empire.

Although the first destination of the human mission is the Orion Nebula, this is not an easy task. Even if there are wormholes, according to the estimates of the scientists of the Ming Empire, at least three wormholes need to be passed through. In the middle, you need to pass through several fourth-level civilization sites, so although it seems that it only takes a dozen or 20 years to go to Orion, it can’t be seen this way, although these fourth-level civilizations on the way are not It deserves the attention of the Ming Empire.

But in any case, the location of these fourth-level civilizations is very critical, and it is the place that the Ming Empire must pass through to reach the Orion Nebula. If the hole is a shortcut, you must pass through the sites of several of their civilizations.

According to the data, among these civilizations, the highest level of civilization is a quasi-level five civilization, which is a top-level fourth-level civilization, while the lowest level of civilization is just a civilization that has just been promoted to a level-[-] civilization.

However, since these materials are from 5000 years ago, it is uncertain whether the civilizations in the materials have successfully advanced to level [-] civilizations.

However, this probability is very small. After all, not all civilizations have cheating devices like the Ming Empire, and they can successfully change from a third-level civilization to a fifth-level civilization in just one or two thousand years.

It is necessary to know which fifth-level civilization in the Milky Way has successfully advanced to a fifth-level civilization after tens of thousands of years of hard work, so the possibility of these civilizations wanting to advance to a fifth-level civilization in just a few thousand years is very slim.

But no matter what, the Ming Empire must control these civilizations and make them affiliated civilizations of the Ming Empire, or directly let these words disappear into the universe. After all, this route is too important to the Ming Empire. It is important. This route must not be allowed to fall into the hands of other level five or level six civilizations.

Of course, in addition to official forces, non-governmental forces will also join the mission team this time.

After all, the development of a civilization does not only depend on the government, but the power of the people is also very important, and the Ming Empire has never ignored the existence of these forces, and this time the Ming Empire will naturally not ignore their existence.

Moreover, the strategy of the Milky Way in the future of the Ming Empire will mainly rely on civilian power rather than military power or official power. The official power of the Ming Empire is that there is still a black bear civilization that has not been resolved. In the future, the expansion of the Ming Empire will be based on the Ming Empire. The private forces of the Ming Dynasty are the main ones, and the officials of the Ming Empire are not prepared to participate any more.

After all, the Ming Empire has now begun to work hard to climb a higher level of civilization.

Prior to this, no matter whether it occupied the Kara galaxy when it just left the solar system, or later occupied the Ocean of Light, it was dominated by the official power of the Ming Empire, and the private power could only be regarded as subordinate, or even subordinate. The civil forces of the Ming Empire were too weak and rather loose. It would be impossible to occupy the Ocean of Light by relying solely on civil forces, so the civil forces at that time had intentions but were powerless.

After all, the civilian forces in the entire Ming Empire were very weak at that time. Even Zhu Lei's Yong'an Group was actually a semi-official force. After all, he was the royal family of the Ming Empire and represented the Ming Empire. In his eyes, the Yong'an Group is actually an official and undisclosed force of the Ming Empire.
