Interstellar Industrial Age

In a void in the asteroid belt of the solar system, a large expanse of space buildings stood quietly in the void. Every space building was brightly lit and extremely busy.

The void between the space buildings, the spaceships, private aircraft, etc. that come and go, are like a highway in the interstellar space age, running through every corner of the entire void, constantly transporting various goods.

The space building where the Xinghan First Military Industrial Group is located is also very busy here.

With the expansion of Xinghan's territory again, the exchanges between various galaxies urgently need more warp-engine spaceships. Orders from various fields of Xinghan are like snowflakes, making every employee of the First Military Industry Group busy. Out of breath.

The manufacture of warp engines is currently the most technological thing. At present, the entire Xinghan can only be manufactured by the Xinghan First Military Industrial Group and the Galaxy Science and Technology Group, which are affiliated to the Xinghan National Academy of Sciences.

As a military industry group affiliated to the Xinghan National Academy of Sciences, the First Military Industry Group's main customers are the Xinghan official and the Xinghan military, and generally do not accept other orders.

As for Galaxy Technology Group, this is the predecessor of Xinghan, the industry of Xinghan leader Qin Yi's family, and the industry of Galaxy Technology Group involves almost all fields of Xinghan, from finance, banking to electronics, spacecraft manufacturing, and even to the life of ordinary people. For daily necessities, vegetables, grains, etc., almost all industries are covered by Galaxy Technology Group.

All of this is naturally based on the old foundation of the original Galaxy Technology Group. Of course, it is more about the trust of the people of Xinghan in Galaxy Technology Group. No matter what business you do, as long as it is an industry under the Galaxy Technology Group, the business is very good. Very agreeable and willing to support.

And Galaxy Technology Group has always been a role model for the Xinghan business community. No matter which field it is involved in, it is definitely a benchmark in this field.

Galaxy Technology Group's products are cheap enough, of good quality, and the most cost-effective. Moreover, because of the industry of Qin Yi's family, they pay great attention to their reputation and cherish their feathers. They have always provided the most cost-effective services and services for the common people of Galaxy. product.

In the high-tech field, Galaxy Science and Technology Group is also a leader among them. The research strength of Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute, a subsidiary of Galaxy Science and Technology Group, is not much worse than that of Xinghan National Academy of Sciences. The Science and Technology Research Institute is separated, and the two are almost indistinguishable from each other.

Galaxy Technology Group focuses more on serving the common people of Xinghan, so Galaxy Technology Group's customers are all for the civilian sector, and generally do not accept Xinghan's official orders.

at this time,

In the spacecraft manufacturing factory of Xinghan First Military Industrial Group, Qin Yi is inspecting the First Military Industrial Group accompanied by Yang Hongyan, Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei and others.

After years of continuous research, the trend engine technology has become more and more mature, and the warp engine produced is also more and more powerful. The newly produced warp engine can jump a long distance of 10 light-years at a time. The original warp engine was five times more powerful.

Because the warp engine technology has become more advanced and can jump farther distances at one time, Qin Yi also plans to form several exploration fleets to explore the vast void around the solar system.

This is not Qin Yi's whim, nor a decision to pat his head, but a very real demand after Xinghan developed.

From the development of Xinghan to the present, it is already an interstellar cosmic civilization. After this round of expansion, Xinghan occupies more than ten planetary systems and has 9 life planets, which is a bit like.

However, at present, Xinghan knows too little or too little about the situation of other galaxies around the solar system. Out of Xinghan's territory, Xinghan almost knows nothing about the situation in these surrounding planetary systems.

Are there powerful interstellar cosmic civilizations within a few hundred light-years and thousands of light-years around the solar system?

How large is the sphere of influence of these civilizations?

How is the geographic location?

How far has the civilization level developed?

Whether it is aggressive to the outside world, etc., these Xinghan do not know, and they are just like blind men when they come out of Xinghan's territory, and they do not understand the current situation at all.

All that is known is that the position of the solar system is located above the Orion cantilever of the Milky Way, other than that, no other information is known.

In the past, it was possible to expand in the interstellar universe by relying on its advanced technology and powerful strength, but it was impossible to continue like this forever.

Naturally, you still have to find out about your environment, the surrounding situation, etc., so as not to hit an iron plate in the future, and your head will be broken.

There are many powerful civilizations in the interstellar universe, and there must always be awe of the universe.

Therefore, after this round of expansion, Qin Yi planned to stop for a while, and while digesting the existing territory, he was also preparing to explore the situation around the Alien-Chinese territory, especially the situation of the Orion cantilever.

Judging from the current situation, life in the universe is very common, and civilization is also very common. In this round of expansion, only two planetary systems have no naturally born life planets, and other planetary systems have natural life planets born. .

On these naturally born life planets, there are only a few planets that have no civilization. They are in the stage of primitive planets. All others have civilization. The Kara civilization of the Sirius star system has developed to the peak of level 2 cosmic civilization.

It can be seen that this life and civilization exists widely in the universe. There are thousands of stars in the range of hundreds of light-years around the solar system, which means that at least thousands of civilizations will be born here. Among thousands of civilizations, there may be some powerful civilizations.

Xinghe will definitely continue to expand in the future, and as time goes by, the population base of Xinghan is getting bigger and bigger, the driving force and demand for this external expansion is getting bigger and bigger, it needs more life planets to be able to feed the more and more people. The larger the population, the better the resources.

It may have taken decades for the expansion from the solar system to the Centaurus galaxy, and another decades for the expansion from the two galaxies to the present territory.

But the further back this is, the bigger the expansion area, and the less time it takes, because once the technology of this population comes up, its own strength will increase geometrically, and the expansion will be faster.

When this round of consumption is almost done, Qin Yi estimates that the next round of expansion will be to annex thousands of star systems hundreds of light-years around the entire solar system.

This is definitely not possible without understanding the surrounding environment. If it is just some low-level civilization, it is nothing. I am afraid that I will encounter a powerful civilization, and then I will suffer.

Moreover, Xinghan has developed to the present, and to be honest, it is also eager to enter the stage of the interstellar universe, whether it is to make friends with the powerful civilizations in the interstellar universe, or become enemies to compete, in short, it is eager to enter a broader stage.

These civilizations that I have contacted now are actually not enough. The Earth Federation is still limited to the earth. Now it is still negotiating with Xinghan every year, hoping to use the earth to exchange a few planets plus warp engine technology, etc. Qin Yi has always been here. drag.

Yoda civilization is a cultivation civilization. At present, the level of this cultivation is relatively general, and it is not considered an interstellar civilization. As for the others, needless to say.

At this time, Xinghan's situation seems to be constantly groping and exploring in the dark world, and he knows too little and too little about the world around him.

"Our latest warp drive can not only jump farther, but also be more precise, and the error range can now be basically controlled within 10 AU."

The genius scientist in the field of Xinghan space science and the absolute leader in the field of warp engine manufacturing is proud to introduce the latest warp engine to Qin Yi.

"10 AU?"

Qin Yi nodded as soon as he heard it. Although the warp engine is powerful, it has a very large error when flying at warp speed. This error is too large. Sometimes it means a waste of time, but more importantly, it means a great danger. .

"In addition to being equipped with a powerful warp engine, this time, we have equipped all space warships with the most powerful weapons, our latest energy weapons and gravity weapons, the attack distance can reach 20 million kilometers, and this power ratio Ten times stronger than before."

"Unfortunately, the technology of energy shield and magnetic shield has not been successfully researched. It is better to be cautious when going out. It is best not to engage in war with other powerful civilizations, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

Long Yuankong pointed to several space battleships parked in the dock and said that these space battleships are not big, they are all Azure Dragon-class space battleships.

Every space battleship is brand new and brand new. The energy cannons and gravity cannons on it look very ferocious, and they are not easy to mess with.

"Hasn't the energy shield technology been researched yet?"

When Qin Yi heard this, he frowned slightly. This energy shield technology is the shield of the battleship. Now Xinghan's battleship attack weapon is available, but the defense still relies on rough skin and thick flesh, relying on its own steel for defense.

But relying on this alone is far from enough. In the last battle with the Kara civilization, I knew that even the energy technology mastered by the Kara civilization could damage Xinghan's battleship. If luck is good enough, maybe it can kill a What about two warships?

If you encounter an opponent of the same level, just relying on rough skin and thick flesh will have no effect, and it is not a big deal at all. Only by researching energy shields or magnetic shields, and having a powerful shield, will it be safer.
