Interstellar Industrial Age

The 'Explorer' space battleship is constantly advancing in the void. In the void of about 1 million kilometers in front of this huge space battleship, the Beirut Empire inspection spacecraft is leading the way.

"Notice, everyone, don't rest assured and be vigilant. If anything is wrong, run away immediately."

Liao Yuan looked at the void in front of him, still maintaining a high degree of vigilance, for fear of any accident. After all, this is the other party's territory, and it is far from the base camp. Once something happens, it will be out of reach.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly, and nothing happened along the way. The people of this Beirut Empire seemed to be friendly and did not act rashly.

Even as you slowly enter the interior of this planetary system, you can see more and more spaceships, space constructions, etc., and the spaceships you encounter along the way have changed their course very wisely, leaving them far away. The Explorer's distance seemed to be afraid of disturbing the guests who had arrived.

This is like a channel specially opened for the 'Explorer'. Of course, the void of the universe is very empty. No matter how busy it is, there is enough space.

The 'Explorer' space battleship still maintains a high degree of alertness. There are a large number of space fighters escorting in the void at all times, and the energy weapons are also in a state of attack at all times.

However, to have the opportunity to know a brand-new civilization, everyone on the battleship is full of excitement. At this time, all kinds of detectors on the battleship are fully open, continuously receiving information from the surrounding void, a prosperous The kingdom is displayed in the eyes of all.

This is a country that has developed to the pinnacle of the second-level cosmic civilization, and it should have a relatively long history. The development of the entire planetary system is very high.

A large number of resource mining spacecraft can be found in the outermost Kuiper belt area. The mining method is not limited to consigning asteroids back. In many cases, high-value minerals are specially selected for mining.

A resource mining spacecraft is generally relatively large in size. It drags the asteroid to its side, and then smashes the asteroid. Only the most valuable parts are selected for mining, and the other parts with no value or lower value are not mined.

This is an extremely efficient way of mining, and it is also a way to maximize the value of each action. The Kuiper Belt is far away from the central region of the planetary system, at least a distance of dozens of astronomical units, and it is extremely difficult to travel.

Such resource mining spacecraft often take several years to go out, and only after obtaining enough valuable minerals will they return again.

After flying over the Kuiper belt area, it becomes more lively, the number of spacecraft is more, and there is a special space port for resource supply, parking spaceships, and so on.

In addition to this, there are also naval ports and fleets dedicated to the Beirut Empire army, stationed in the Beirut Empire's space fleet to guard this planetary system.

At this time, the 'Explorer' spacecraft was taken by the previous spacecraft to a space port and parked here.

"Guests from afar, please forgive us for our poor hospitality. We may not be able to let you enter the interior of our galaxy, so if there is any cargo that needs to be bought or sold, it can be done in this spaceport."

Belosa sent such a message to the Explorer side.

The news of the arrival of the spacecraft from the light domain has also been reported, and the relevant information now has been reported to the high-level officials of the Beirut Empire.

"Okay, thank you very much for the warm hospitality of your empire."

The control and command center of the 'Explorer' space battleship, Liao Yuan ordered this response, and at the same time looked at the space port that was gradually expanding in the void.

This spaceport is relatively small, and it looks like it is several times larger than the 'Explorer'. The spaceships parked in it are also petite, most of which are at the same level as the Miron-class cosmic civilization. The ship cannot be seen.

When the 'Explorer' slowly approached, it seemed like a huge cloud shrouded the past, causing the Beirut Empire people in the spaceport to widen their eyes one by one.

"This spaceship is too big. This is the largest spaceship I have ever seen."

In the spaceport, I saw that the huge spaceship in the void was slowly docking. The spaceship was brightly lit, like a huge palace.

Everyone in the Beirut Empire couldn't help but marvel. Such a large spaceship is rare and rarely seen.

Although the Beirut Empire is a level 2 cosmic civilization with a long history, it can only live in a planetary system 400 light-years away from the light domain. Its strength and status can actually be imagined.

The Beirut Empire has a history of more than one million years. A long time ago, the Beirut Empire was actually a civilization that originated in the sea of ​​stars (light domain). It continued to grow and develop in the sea of ​​stars, and it developed smoothly to a level 2 cosmic civilization.

However, the civilization of Xinghan is prosperous, and the competition is extremely fierce, because the distance between stars is too close, so as long as you can develop to level 2 cosmic civilization, you can basically embark on the road of interstellar expansion, and constantly move towards Neighboring stellar expansion.

The same is true for the Beirut Empire. It was once ambitious in its continuous expansion from its home galaxy, but it soon encountered other level 2 cosmic civilizations, and then went through a long period of war.

Then the Beirut Empire was beaten by other powerful civilizations, and eventually even its own home galaxy was lost, leaving only a few fugitive seed fleets fleeing towards the Xinghai in all directions.

Among them, a seed fleet decided to leave the competitive star sea, away from the land of right and wrong, so it also fled towards the periphery of the star sea, and finally after a long period of escape, they came to this place, and finally took root here slowly, Continue the fire of your own civilization.

No one remembers what this planetary system was originally called, but it is now called Beirut Galaxy.

The Beirut galaxy is 400 light-years away from the star sea. Without mastering the warp engine technology, it takes a very long time to travel to and from the star sea, which takes tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, it is far away from the cruel competition of Xinghai, and far from too much right and wrong, but in the same way, the civilization development of the Beirut Empire has always been stagnant. It's hard to break through.

This power technology has always used plasma power technology. Plasma power technology has a limitation, and there is no way to create too large spaceships and space battleships.

A spaceship like the Qinglong class is almost the limit. If it is bigger, because there is not enough power to push it, it will become bloated and have no substantive significance.

So when they saw the "Explorer" spacecraft, these Beirut Empire people were shocked by its huge body. Compared with it, the spacecraft of their Beirut Empire was really like a child's toy.

In order to allow the 'Explorer' to park, the port was also deliberately cleaned up, and other Beirut Empire spacecraft were moved away, so that the 'Explorer' spacecraft could be parked.

The Beirut galaxy is 400 light-years away from the field of light. Such a long distance makes it too inconvenient to travel. In the past long years, the Beirut galaxy has rarely been visited by spacecraft from other civilizations, let alone. Spaceship from the Light Domain.

The Beirut galaxy and the nearest planetary system, the Suleiman Empire, are about 1 light-year away. In the past, there were spacecraft from the Suleiman Empire, but usually only once every ten years. It is a huge business event for the Beirut Empire.

On the one hand, the Beirut Empire is tired of the cruel competition in the sea of ​​stars, but on the other hand, it is eager to have more communication with other civilizations, but around the Beirut galaxy, the density of stars is too low, and the distance between them is too high. It is far away, and it is inconvenient to communicate. Even if they are very close, there is very little communication.

As for the caravan from Xinghai, it has not appeared for a long, long time. In the historical records of the Beirut Empire, the most recent caravan, spaceship, etc. from Xinghai were more than 10,000 years ago. thing.

Of course, the Beirut Empire still knows a little bit about some things in Xinghai, because on the journey of Beirut Galaxy passing through Xinghai, almost every planetary system has one or two civilizations, and everyone still has some contacts.

Therefore, through the caravan between this planetary system, they can still know some news inside the Xinghai, but this news may have happened thousands of years ago.

Information is blocked and communication is inconvenient. This is the reality of the Beirut galaxy.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that it is far from the sea of ​​stars and the distance between the stars is relatively large, the Beirut Empire may not be able to develop steadily.

You must know that the closer you are to the sea of ​​​​stars, the smaller the distance between stars, the greater the density, and the stronger the civilization that occupies these places. Civilizations like the Beirut Empire cannot compete with these powerful civilizations at all, so they can only be used in The Beirut galaxy survived in such a place far from the sea of ​​stars.

This is also the normal state of civilization around the Xinghai. The losers either accept the exploitation and domination of the strong, or they migrate outside the Xinghai, away from the land of right and wrong, to a place where there is not much competition, and live in a paradise life.
