cosmic hegemony

Chapter 486, The Turbulent Milky Way

In the Corunna Galaxy, the Starscream Pirates transferred 100 trillion Zilun coins to Tang Boyuan through the Milky Way Money Bank, and cleaned up the void around the expedition group.

"Phew! It's a good thing that the Starscream Pirates are still afraid of us in the end. If they really attack recklessly, we will die, and we will definitely not be able to wait for the frontier army to rescue us."

After receiving the money transfer, the void was cleaned up. Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei also heaved a long sigh of relief. In fact, their hands were sweating. Although there are quantum foam bombs, the number they carry is limited. At most, they can block each other's waves Attack, in the face of the absolute number gap, the more than 100 space battleships in my hands are really not enough.

"Looking back, I will suggest to His Majesty that we develop the energy shield technology of our empire to level 8 as soon as possible. As long as the energy shield technology can reach level 8, we don't have to be afraid of ordinary level 8 energy attacks."

Dong Zhifei nodded. The weak point of the empire's warships in terms of attack, defense, and large-scale attack should be defense. The technology of level 7 energy shields is at the general level in the galaxy, and many level 3 cosmic civilizations have mastered this kind of technology. Technology, the level 8 energy shield can really be used.

Of course, most of the galaxy overlords in the galaxy overlords only master the level 7 energy shield technology, and only a few galaxy overlords have mastered the level 8 energy shield technology. The defense of the battleship is very strong, and the level 8 energy attack requires a joint attack. Only a level 8 energy shield can be broken, only a level 9 attack can ignore the level 8 energy shield, and there are only a few level 9 cosmic civilizations in the entire galaxy that can have a level 5 attack.

"This is indeed our shortcoming. Level 8 energy attack weapons are considered bad street in the center of the galaxy. Every civilization should more or less reserve some level 8 energy attack weapons. We should try to be more cautious in the future. "

Tang Boyuan nodded solemnly.

"Let's go and continue our galactic journey."

After receiving the money transfer, the void was cleared up again. Tang Boyuan had no intention of staying any longer. He bid farewell to Ji Guli, who was his tour guide. Accompanied by waves of space fluctuations, the delegation disappeared into the space-time wormhole.

"The warp speed engine, if only we could master this technology, it would be great to gallop freely in the universe, just thinking about it will make people fascinated."

"You'd better think about how to come up with a ransom to buy your own life. The Starscream Pirates have been knocked down to 100 trillion, and they will definitely not let us go easily."

As the expedition team left the Corunna galaxy, the Starscream Pirates began to scrape the ground of the Corunna galaxy, even digging out a little bit of flesh from the mosquito's legs.

……

The matter of the Corunna galaxy can only be regarded as a small episode in the long journey of the investigation team. The investigation team flew very casually in the center of the Milky Way, and did not deliberately choose a special route, nor deliberately choose a purpose. Land, everything is very casual.

Through time and space ocean currents, a galaxy, a galaxy’s route, it continuously records various information about the universe, astronomy, geography, humanities, etc. in the center of the galaxy. These data are all used by imperial scientists to study the galaxy, the level of civilization development in the center of the galaxy, etc. The most important first-hand information.

"It is very easy for these civilizations in the center of the Milky Way to develop to level 3. The scientific and technological materials of level 3 cosmic civilizations are all bad. As long as they are not too stupid and have no potential civilization, it is still very easy to develop to level 3, but If you want to develop to a level 4 cosmic civilization, it will be very difficult to become the overlord of the galaxy."

Here at the flagship command center of the investigation team, Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei were talking casually. Along the way, the civilizations they encountered the most were Level 3 cosmic civilizations. The strengths of these Level 3 cosmic civilizations are very different. A long-standing level 3 cosmic civilization.

Not only does it own a large territory and is powerful, but often there are some level 3, level 1, and even level 2 cosmic civilizations under these level 3 cosmic civilizations, which can be regarded as exploiters.

As for those cosmic civilizations that have just developed to level 3, some days are very miserable. Although they are level 3 cosmic civilizations, they only have their own home galaxy, and often there is no guarantee, and they may be destroyed by other level 3 civilizations around them at any time. The civilization of the universe perished.

Wars between level 3 cosmic civilizations are the most common wars in the galaxy, and the galactic overlords don't care about them at all, and even faintly promote them behind the scenes.

For the overlords of the galaxy, the huge number of level 3 cosmic civilizations in the galaxy can be regarded as their future competitors. Letting them fight each other is also a way to reduce the consumption of competitors. Level 3 cosmic civilizations that are too powerful, these galactic overlords will also mercilessly destroy them.

"There must be a galactic overlord behind this. As far as I know, the tribute tasks that the galactic overlord gives to these level 3 cosmic civilizations are very heavy, and it is often difficult to complete them by themselves, so they plunder their houses and plunder other civilizations to pass them on. Pressure is the most common method used by level 3 cosmic civilizations."

"Along the way, there are wars everywhere, and interstellar pirates are rampant. I estimate that most of the interstellar pirates are disguised by the fleets of some level 3 space civilizations. They don't even have space battleships with warp drive engines, and the Starscream Pirates can't do it at all." In contrast, the Starscream Pirates are all targeting prosperous and rich galaxies, and these interstellar pirates often start with some weak Level 3 cosmic civilizations."

Dong Zhifei also nodded. The situation here in the center of the Milky Way is too chaotic. The overlords of the Milky Way united together and silently promoted behind the scenes. Only powerful civilizations can gain some peace, while weak civilizations may be at any time the entire civilization. Was wiped out.

In contrast, the Orion spiral arm is really a gentle harbor. Although there are constant conquests among various civilizations, because the place is small and the number of civilizations is limited, it can be regarded as within a control range, unlike the center of the Milky Way. Here, the number of civilizations is simply too much.

In addition, powerful weapons, warp speed engines, etc. can be purchased from the overlord of the galaxy, which exacerbates the turbulence of the situation. Maybe a certain civilization is very powerful near him, and no one dares to provoke it, but it is attacked by other civilizations from other civilizations. The civilization of the star field is targeted, and a disaster is inevitable.

If you want to rely on space-time ocean currents to build a strong defense, but facing the warp drive is completely useless, not to mention that in the center of the Milky Way, the distance between stars is too close, even if you don’t rely on space-time ocean currents, It's okay to spend a little more time just by flying in the void.

Attacking another galaxy directly by flying is also very common in the center of the entire galaxy, and it is also a tactic that both warring parties like to adopt in many cases, because the enemy is difficult to guard against.

If this is placed in the spiral arm of Orion, it is something that I dare not even think about. It is often a few light-years away, and it takes decades to reach another galaxy by flying. It's cold.

Therefore, the civilization here in the Orion spiral arm, even if it only needs to guard the entrance and exit of the time-space ocean flow, its own safety is still guaranteed. There is no warp drive, and the distance between the stars is far away. The time-space ocean current is the only choice for interstellar travel. In contrast, The situation is much more stable, and even weak civilizations are safer and more secure.

"To pay tribute to the overlord of the galaxy, to grow stronger, and to be prepared for wars that may come at any time... It is really not an easy task to survive in the center of the galaxy."

Tang Boyuan also sighed for a long time, each civilization has a very heavy burden, the biggest of which is the tribute from the overlord of the galaxy, every tribute will lose a layer of skin to these civilizations, but they dare not There is no resistance at all, because the overlords of the galaxy will not treat you with any kindness.

Paying tribute is a task that must be completed. Once this task cannot be completed, the overlord of the galaxy will kill you without hesitation. This point has been told to the civilizations in the entire galaxy through countless bloody cases over the long years.

"I understand why the civilization here in the center of the Milky Way despises the barrenness of our Orion's spiral arm, but they all sharpen their heads and want to go to the spiral arm of the Milky Way. On the spiral arm, at least it is It’s much safer, and you don’t have to worry about it all the time.”

"Isn't it? In the center of the Milky Way, even a powerful Level 3 cosmic civilization has no guarantee. It may be ransacked by others at any time. Along the way, many prosperous galaxies have been ransacked by people. .”

"A man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass. This is especially true here in the center of the Milky Way. If you want to live a better life, you must do this. Honestly accumulating wealth may end up being cheaper for others. , might as well go and rob it quickly."

"..."

The two chatted very casually. Although the expedition team only had more than 100 space battleships, and they were also targeted by some interstellar pirates and civilizations who didn't have long eyes, they were dispatched very easily. As soon as the powerful blue sword came out , Interstellar pirates and the like immediately turned into birds and beasts.

The entire inspection team seemed to be in the sky, watching the gods of all kinds of time. Here in the center of the Milky Way, they traveled very relaxed and leisurely.

Passing through another space-time ocean current, the expedition team came to a galaxy, which was very withered, without the prosperity of other galaxies at all. This is the parent galaxy of a level 2 cosmic civilization.
