My empire of stars

(This chapter is Chapter 425)

"Top Secret Alert."

"The Ark Pisces, which disappeared more than fifty years ago, has reconnected to the empire's communication channel." After Li Mingze returned to the office, he was surprised by the message in front of him.

He did not expect that the Pisces Ark, which he thought might have been killed by some natural disaster, would regain contact with the Empire.

"Connect me to communication with Ark!" Although the empire never actively communicated with Ark in order to prevent Ark's coordinates from being exposed, this time Li Mingze couldn't bear it anymore.

He was very curious about what happened during the more than fifty years of missing contact!

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the Empire! Colonist No. A00241 reports to you that we have finally returned to the embrace of the Empire." The Ark communications officer who connected to Li Mingze's communication solemnly saluted with tears in his eyes.

For him, who lost contact with the Empire during his term of office and spent more than fifty years in a state of confusion, nothing excites him more than reconnecting with the Empire.

"Send the logs after Ark lost contact to the Empire. You must pay attention to protecting the safety of Ark. The Empire will be your strong backing!" Li Mingze said solemnly to the communications officer.

"Your Majesty!" The communication screen disappeared.

In the sea of ​​asteroids, the stars stimulated by the consumption of a large amount of souls have not yet stabilized, and red beams are still shooting into the distance.

The twenty-four battleships of the Pisces Pirate Group took advantage of these people to surround them before they were distracted, and hurriedly escaped to a safe distance and jumped into hyperspace.

However, these national alliances have no intention of pursuing them. After the new route is opened, Andris is no longer important. Their small pirate group cannot make any waves at all.

"We will conquer the outside world, and we will be recorded in history! Let us toast to the opening of new routes!" At this time, underground on a planet in the star system where the stellar energy stimulator is located, a group of people were in a brightly lit room. Looking at the man speaking on the stage in the hall.

"Cheers!" Everyone cheered and raised their glasses.

These people are representatives from various civilizations in the entire asteroid sea.

Because the territory in the asteroid sea has been divided up, countries cannot easily launch a war due to the balance of power.

By chance, I learned that a country had actually invented a super weapon that could open up waterways to the outside world.

The overseas world of asteroids tempted these countries, so they secretly formed a multinational alliance and fought all the way to the capital of the country where the energy stimulator was invented.

Now that the new route has been opened, their alliance can finally enter the outside world.

After everyone drank the wine in their hands, everyone couldn't help but imagine the beauty of the universe outside.

"Perhaps, the outside world is full of living planets, and there are a lot of minerals." A middle-aged woman dressed as a lady said with longing.

"If you ask me, the outside world may still be nothingness, and the only civilization that exists is our small world." A middle-aged man chuckled.

"Everyone, I think we should unite and form a multinational joint development organization to jointly develop the world outside the asteroid." A masked man on the stage knocked on the wine glass in his hand.

If Liu Rushun and others were here, they would definitely recognize that this person was the mysterious person who spoke when they approached the energy stimulator.

Just as the representatives of these countries were discussing the asteroid overseas world, they never thought that a super empire in the outside world had targeted them, and a super fleet was heading towards them.

Li Mingze, who has learned everything that happened after the Ark lost contact from the log sent back from the Ark, has already dispatched a fleet to the asteroid sea.

More than 10 million Tiger Shark-class battleships, led by the empire's three major fleets, began to fly towards the asteroid sea.

Because they were worried that the alien fleet would leave too far and lose control, the remaining alien warships stayed at the Imperial base camp to look after their homes.

This unprecedentedly large fleet will fly in hyperspace for up to a year to reach the asteroid sea.

Behind them were the construction troops responsible for building the wormhole highway.

As a special star field with hundreds of colonizable planets and a human population of over a trillion, it will definitely become a key development area for the empire in the future.

By then, with the existence of the wormhole super-speed channel, travel between this star field and the mainland of the empire will be much more convenient.

Three months later, the activated star began to return to calm, and the huge red beam gradually disappeared.

At this time, the exploration ships from various countries that had been prepared began to pour into the channel opened by the beam. Even though the diameter of this channel reached an astonishing thirty kilometers, there were still ship jams.

These people have no idea what trouble they will run into in this dangerous universe.

Likewise, Li Mingze didn't know what was in the distant starry sky to which this red beam of light flew.

The seemingly thick asteroid sea no longer seems so thick after these spacecraft enter the sub-light speed state.

The Ark originally flew slowly for fifty years. After these battleships accelerated to sub-light speed, they left the asteroid sea surrounded by meteorites in just ten days.

Only then did people know how big the asteroid sea was that blocked their outward development. In the past, explorers from various countries had penetrated into the asteroid sea, but after thirty or forty years, they still couldn't reach the end. The unknown is scary. , people gradually gave up the idea of ​​crossing the asteroid sea. Now they finally realized their ancestors' dream and broke out of the asteroid sea.

At the moment it broke out of the asteroid sea, all the researchers on the spacecraft were stunned by the starry sky in front of them. They had never seen such a colorful starry sky.

In their world, because they are surrounded by a sea of ​​asteroids, they can only see a gray "sky" reflecting the light of stars. This gray sky is certainly not comparable to the starry sky composed of countless stars and nebulae outside.

"Start observing the surrounding starry sky immediately!" Captains' excited roars rang out from many exploration ships.

Scanners with various functions began to rise from the exploration ship, and various detection beams began to scan the surrounding starry sky.

It was not until some time later that these people discovered in despair that the nearest star system was located three light-years away from them!

And in this new universe, the distance between each star system is very large!

The distance of several light years between each star system allows their spacecraft, which can only travel at sub-light speed, to travel for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, these researchers felt deep despair.

The special environment of extremely close star systems in the asteroid sea has caused all countries to focus on how to accelerate the spacecraft to close to the speed of light, but no one is working on how to fly faster than the speed of light.

Now, many civilizations in the asteroid sea are in an awkward situation. After intense discussions, a group of spacecraft carrying a large amount of supplies began to fly towards the nearest star system at sub-light speed.

They will undergo a long flight of nine to ten years to reach their destination.
