Chapter 538 Reaching the Orion Nebula

Of course, not all the people in the Ming Empire's mission to Orion Nebula are young people, but most of them are young. There are still quite a few older generations leading the team. After all, compared with the older generation, These young people lack the experience of surviving in the universe, let alone space warfare.

Therefore, we can only use the method of bringing the newcomers with the old, but this cannot be blamed for the high-level officials of the Ming Empire being so cautious. Although the Ming Empire is only sending an envoy to the Orion Nebula this time, the danger is actually much less dangerous than a real cosmic war, but It will take decades of flying to get there, not to mention that the Ming Empire doesn't know much about the situation of the Orion Nebula at all. It doesn't know how many fifth-level civilizations or whether there are sixth-level civilizations in the Orion Nebula. If it is a level five civilization, then the Ming Empire must visit them one by one, and the time required will be even more splendid.

In addition, organizing such a large mission fleet, which is actually an expedition fleet, requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Even the Ming Empire, with its fifth-level civilization, its strong industrial strength and population , but also need to pour the power of the whole country to do it.

If the expedition fleet was wiped out by other civilizations on the way or in the Orion Nebula, then even the Ming Empire would take at least a few decades to recover, not to mention the fact that the fleet included the Ming Empire. The spiritual leader of King Yong'an, once any accident occurs, the blow to the Ming Empire will not only be material, but a more powerful blow will come from the spirit.

It is very likely that it will shake the confidence of the Ming Empire to enter the Milky Way stage, and even bring far-reaching disasters to the country and government, and civilization will never stop.

Although the local fleet of the Ming Empire came relatively late, the Ocean of Light Fleet waiting here has no complaints. The strength of the local fleet of the Ming Empire is simply not enough to explore the Ocean of Light, not to mention that the Ocean of Light also belongs to the Ming Empire. , essentially no difference.

And there is always nothing wrong with making more preparations, more strength and more strength, after all, the future of this exploration is still unknown.

Therefore, more power means more protection. In the final analysis, whether it is the land of the Ming Empire or the Ocean of Light, it is the territory of the Ming Empire. If you want to survive in the ocean of civilization in the universe, you must unite to fight against it. other civilizations.

After all the fleets were assembled, the local fleet of the Ming Empire took the lead and entered the wormhole first, followed by the military forces and official forces of the Ocean of Light, and finally the civilian forces of the Ocean of Light and the wealth of the Ming Empire. Civilization Fleet.

After all, among all the fleets, the local fleet of the Ming Empire is the strongest, the most advanced in technology, and has the largest number of space battleships. Therefore, the local fleet of the Ming Empire is still in the lead. After all, it is still unknown whether the other end of the wormhole is safe. The home fleet enters first, so that the survivability of the entire fleet can be guaranteed.

300 light-years away from the territory of the Ming Empire, the local fleet of the Ming Empire first flew out of the wormhole. After coming out, all the radars of all the spaceships in the fleet were turned on to explore the surrounding star fields. After opening, the Ming Empire did not explore. According to the map purchased from Wei Na, there is a quasi-level five civilization in this star field.

That's why the fleet is so nervous. When it comes out of the wormhole, the entire fleet's defense is at its weakest, because after a long journey through the wormhole, the fleet's energy shield has dropped to freezing point, and it can only rely on the fleet's own Defense is used to defend against enemy attacks. Under normal circumstances, the defense of the fleet itself is actually not strong, except of course for the Ming Empire. Therefore, generally if there is a hostile civilization, they will definitely fly out of the space fleet. Dong immediately attacked the fleet.

However, although no civilization was found around, the fleet still set up a defensive formation, and the energy shield was recharged to protect against possible accidents. Soon the second echelon and the third echelon flew out of the wormhole one after another. .

Then the fleet reorganized into a large formation and flew towards the starting point of the second wormhole. Five years later, the exploration fleet of the Ming Empire arrived at the starting point of the second wormhole. During the journey, the fleet did not encounter any civilization at all. The entire star field is blank, and even living planets are very rare. During the five-year voyage, only one provincial planet was discovered, and the life on this living planet is still in a very primitive stage, and has not yet developed. Intelligent life.

Therefore, scientists in the fleet of the Ming Empire speculate that the quasi-level [-] civilization in this star field has migrated to other star fields, or has disappeared into the universe as cosmic dust. Although the fleet of the Ming Empire is very curious about this , but there is no definite evidence to show how this civilization disappeared, and it can only be inferred by speculation.

But since this civilization has disappeared in this star field, there is no need for the fleet of the Ming Empire to stop, so the fleet did not stop at all on the way, and went directly to the starting point of the second wormhole.

When the fleet came out of the second wormhole, they did not find any civilizations that had left their home planet, not even civilizations that had reached the third level of civilization. It was just that before reaching the third wormhole, they found that the civilization level was still low. In the intelligent civilization of primitive civilization, the Ming Empire would naturally not be interested in such a civilization.

When the exploration fleet of the Ming Empire came out of the third wormhole, it was less than a hundred light-years away from the outermost part of the Orion Nebula, and after it came out, the fleet was ten light-years away I found a level [-] civilization, but I am obviously not interested in the level [-] civilization Ming Empire, not to mention that this level [-] civilization is only a level [-] primary civilization, and it has just left its home planet, so it is not worth the Ming Empire to do too much s concern.

What's more, there is still nearly a hundred light-years away from the Orion Nebula at this time, and it will take several years to get there, so the entire fleet flies directly to the Orion Nebula.

And because it is already close to the Orion Nebula at this time, although there are civilizations here, the distances between the galaxies are not endless, at least a few light-years away, which is already comparable to the barren star field where the solar system is located, but due to The range of this star field is relatively small, only less than a hundred light-years away, not to mention that in this star field, the radar of the Ming Empire also found that spaceships of advanced civilizations will pass by from time to time, so the prosperity is not the same as that of the solar system. The barren star field where it is located is comparable.
