Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Regret?

Jessica thought of Li Meng.

Facing Linda's gaze, Jessica shook her head.

She has nothing to regret.

Her relationship with Li Meng is not the same as Linda's relationship with Li Meng.

Linda is more like Li Meng's underground lover and must be kept secret.

But she is different, her relationship with Li Meng is somewhere between a friend and a relationship between a man and a woman.

She can maintain a close relationship with Li Meng generously.

She never thought that she would get anything from Li Meng.

She simply hoped to maintain the current relationship with Li Meng, and that was enough.

With a pursed smile, Jessica said: "Okay, don't talk about him, really, when we talk about him, we will all become awkward and start thinking wildly, let it be, the days to come are still long Now, even though we are women, we are also full of interest and longing for the boundless sea of ​​stars, and we cannot be the only ones in the future, otherwise, it would be too boring."

Linda smiled faintly at Jessica's words.

Yes, a brand new life is waiting for them.

You can't shackle your thoughts in the ocean of feelings, the road ahead is still very long.

In the depths of the long corridor, the graceful figures of the two women gradually fade away...

……

S-01909 star system.

The sea of ​​stars is vast, dark, dead silent, and cold.

In the dark universe, a white icy planet floats quietly.

From a distance, it looks like a white jade gem under the light of stars.

In the orbit of the planet, there is a huge asteroid floating.

Looking at the surface of the asteroid, one can see metal buildings connected one after another.

And in the starry sky on the side of the asteroid, a dark fleet is docked.

"king!"

The golden light shone, and the energy particles scattered like elves.

Everyone in the bridge half-kneeled on the ground, shouting in their mouths.

It lasts only a little, and everything fades away.

After glancing at the half-kneeling people on the bridge, Li Meng turned to look at the starry sky outside the window.

"The navigation beacon hasn't returned a message yet?"

Lowering his head slightly, Ralph said: "Yes, if the spaceship attached to the navigation beacon did not encounter any accidents on the way back, and could receive the signal on the same day, there must have been some accidents. However, we have another There are other gains."

Have other gains?

With a slight wave of his hand, Li Meng said: "Go and come..."

Everyone in the bridge stood up one after another, and each went to work.

Ralph moved forward slightly, and he came behind Li Meng.

Lowering his head slightly, Ralph said: "We found a data chip in a destroyed battleship, which was well preserved. According to the existing data, the star map data in the chip has not been deleted. It's going to be parsed, I think, and there will be news soon."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

It seems that the qualifications of the captain of the "Xinjing Shogunate" are worrying.

In the interstellar era, how to hide one's own base camp in foreign wars is a priority for every civilization.

On the eve of the war, on the battlefield, the first task of the captain is to set up the insurance mechanism.

Once the battleship is destroyed, any data related to the star map will be deleted immediately, and the chip that stores the data will be physically destroyed.

If the star map data is obtained by the enemy, the door of the house is like being opened.

Everything in the home will be exposed to the eyes of the enemy.

With the personality of human beings who are afraid of death, most of those captains are NPCs.

The population of the "Trading Mall" does not have complicated occupations.

Except for scientists, the population of others is ordinary people.

If you want NPCs to take on important positions, you need some training.

This is completely different from the "Empire of Terra".

Because Li Meng has a travel number, he has stored a lot of talents from all walks of life.

There are "tech priests" similar to scientists, as well as ordinary people and nobles.

And the nobles got a good education, and many professions were born among them.

For example, the officers of the Star Militia Army and the generals of the navy are all selected from the nobles.

The same goes for Ralph, he is also a nobleman.

It's just that his family has declined and he has lost his status as a nobleman.

He had come aboard not as a nobleman, but as a distinguished admiral.

Because the imperial warships patrolled the world all year round, the admirals on board would not disembark for decades, or even centuries.

Admirals often consider warships their home.

Most captains board the ship with their families.

This is why the warships of the empire will design a living area with enough space for the captain, just like a palace.

This is a good thing...

Once the star map of "Xinjing Shogunate" is obtained.

Then the headquarters of the "Xinjing Shogunate" will be completely exposed.

Its sphere of influence will also be known by the "Terra Empire".

"King, the signal from the navigation beacon was captured..."

The voice came from a tech priest, a little hoarse and mechanical, but the words were clear.

Ralph's face changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Where is it?"

"A non-adjacent star system, about seventeen light-years away..."

Hearing this, Ralph frowned slightly.

This is impossible, how can you go to such a far place in three days?
Also, with a distance of seventeen light years, it would take three days to send it back.

Ralph lowered his head slightly, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there may be fraud. The location of the navigation beacon is too far away, and the signal transmission speed is too fast."

With a thoughtful expression on his face, Li Meng looked out the window at the starry sky.

It is indeed impossible to go to a place seventeen light years away in less than three days.

If it is really seventeen light years away, it is impossible for the message sent by the navigation signal to arrive within three days.

This is how the same thing?

The modified servo-skull is attached to a transport ship.

It was a small boat, not big, only two 300 meters long.

The super-light technology of "Xinjing Shogunate" is a curvature engine.

In terms of FTL speed, all kinds of FTL engines are similar.

Although there is a certain gap between each other, it will not be very large.

After thinking for a while, Li Meng said: "Send a "Cobra" destroyer to take a look, and the fleet will continue to stand by."

Don't be too anxious right now, wait until the tech priest cracks the chip that stores the star map data before deciding what to do next.

Li Meng has always believed that the headquarters of the "Xinjing Shogunate" is in the neighboring star system.

He firmly believed in this and could never be wrong.

Otherwise, in the first battle with the "Xinjing Shogunate".

The fleet of the "Xinjing Shogunate" will not arrive in the S-01909 star system within a few hours.

Ralph nodded, and said to the technology priest beside him, "Send the coordinates of the navigation beacon to No. [-] ship, let them set off immediately!"

Following Ralph's order, outside, in the dark universe.

One of the Cobra destroyers in the fleet moved.

The engine nozzle at the rear spewed out hundreds of meters of white plume.

Looking from the planet's ground to the sky, one can see huge ships.

One of the giant ships was leaving with a long white tail, like a comet flying across the sky.
