My empire of stars

In just a few days, the five ocean planets have been covered with a thick layer of green seaweed.

Tens of thousands of drones fly at low altitude over the sea, dragging a huge trawl net at the tail to scoop up seaweed from the sea into the net.

When the huge trawl net is full, the drone is pulled up high into the sky and flies towards the incubator on the planet with the full trawl net.

At this time, dozens of transport ships floating on the sea have appeared next to the incubator.

These transport ships have been specially modified to convert the algae into a nutrient solution that can be used by the incubators.

The drones in the sky lined up above dozens of transport ships, opened the lower trawl net, poured all the collected seaweed into the huge open cabin of the transport ship, and then flew into the distance again.

After the seaweed reaches the cabin, it is converted into nutrient solution and flows into the incubator through huge transparent pipes connected to the incubator.

The incubator, which had obtained a large amount of energy, began to frantically produce eggs of the battleship aliens.

The drones waiting on the side will drag the eggs with the "umbilical cord" and fly to the open space aside and place them neatly, waiting for the hatching of these warship aliens.

There are hundreds of such hatching bases on the entire ocean planet, and each hatching base can produce two thousand warship alien eggs a month!

three months later

Just as the empire was in full swing to expand its military, three fleets jumped out of hyperspace and arrived at the outskirts of the star system two light years away from the coordinates of the Eva fleet recorded in the future information.

"Call headquarters, we are the First Fleet, we have not found any traces of enemy troops near the target point" Lei Ming connected to the holographic communication report with the empire.

"Sir, there are no planets in this star system!" Before Lei Ming could finish speaking, a soldier on the side suddenly shouted.

"What's going on? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the system?" Lei Ming frowned.

"No sir, our gravity scanning device shows that there is only one gravity point on the middle star in this star system!" The soldier turned around and put the scanned image on the main screen of the bridge.

Sure enough, in such a huge star system, there was only one red star hanging alone in the sky.

"Maybe it's a natural phenomenon. Let's continue to the next star system!" Lei Ming felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"You three fleets are on alert, ready for battle at any time." Li Mingze, who was on the other end of the holographic intercom, felt his heart tightening, as if he had thought of something, and ordered to Lei Ming.

"I obey your Majesty!"

"All warships listen to the order and enter combat status immediately! Beware of possible enemies, target the next star system, move forward!" After receiving the commander's order, the warships of the first fleet began to slowly move their bows towards the next jump. Fly into the entry point.

The other two fleets had just received Li Mingze's order, and they also formed a battle formation and followed the first fleet.

The three fleets flew quietly through the empty star system. The empty space seemed extremely eerie and lifeless.

In the orbit of the stars that these warships did not notice, the lens of a spherical satellite was constantly rotating, pointing the lens at the high-speed flying imperial fleet.

However, because the satellite was too close to the orbit, the gravity of the star covered up its own gravity. Coupled with a layer of stealth paint, this extremely small satellite was not noticed by the imperial fleet at all.

One day later, the Imperial fleet crossed the empty star system to the next jump point and disappeared into the universe.

Only then did the satellites next to the star dare to send the collected intelligence back to their home planet.

A few days later, three fleets of the Empire jumped out of hyperspace and arrived in a star system closer to Eva's coordinates.

"Sir, there is still nothing here. There are no planets. This is definitely not normal." The soldier swallowed and reported to Lei Minghui.

"This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. All fleets have been upgraded to the highest alert level and are ready for battle." Lei Ming nodded solemnly.

At this moment, along with waves of space turbulence, square and angular white warships began to appear outside the three fleets of the empire!

"No, the enemy really has an ambush! All warships open fire immediately!" When Lei Ming saw the first warship appearing, he immediately reacted and decisively ordered the fleet to start attacking.

A beam cannon and mass-accelerated shells were fired crazily at the warships that kept appearing.

These battleships that had just left the warp jump were exploded in space before they could react.

In less than ten minutes, the three fleets of the empire were filled with wreckage of warships.

The muzzles of the empire's battleships were also slightly red due to high-speed shooting.

"Cease fire!" After seeing that no more enemy fleets appeared, Lei Ming waved his hand and ordered the fleet to stop shooting.

"Report to the Imperial Headquarters that we were ambushed in the star system 1.2 light years around the target point!"

"The number of enemies is too small and they appear one after another. In addition, our fire density is too high. It is currently impossible to judge the defense capabilities of the opponent's warships."

"And the other side's warships didn't fire, so we can't judge their attack capabilities." Lei Ming saved the information, prepared a satellite and launched it towards the outer reaches of the star system.

Then the fleet entered a state of signal silence, and the lights of all battleships were extinguished. A faint holographic image enveloped the three fleets of the empire, and the three fleets disappeared from the universe.

This is exactly the covert mode of the Imperial fleet. The previously launched satellites will only transmit signals to the Empire after the fleet leaves. This can effectively prevent the fleet from exposing its coordinates.

In the stellar orbit of this star system, another spherical satellite seemed to have lost its target, and it kept scanning the entire star system in a panic, hoping to find the imperial fleet.

However, the empire's fleet has been hidden in the holographic barrier, losing its visual presence. The satellites that relied on optical equipment for exploration suddenly lost their targets.

A few hours later, the satellite reluctantly sent back a message that the target was lost.

After the message was sent, the satellite was finally exposed to the sights of the Imperial fleet.

Lei Ming, Yi Yun and Wang Rongtao were shocked. They did not expect that there was a monitor hidden in the empty star system.

And this detector is so close to the star, using the star to hide its traces!

No wonder your own fleet encountered the enemy's fleet just after it jumped out!
