My empire of stars

If Andre could hear the conversation of these people, he would definitely know something, and their guess was not wrong.

The asteroid sea is one of the experimental bases of these advanced civilizations, and they are just the guinea pigs used in this experiment.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Scientific Committee discovered this star cluster enclosed by an asteroid during an accidental exploration. The committee's researchers sprinkled human seeds into various star systems in this star cluster.

However, not long after sowing the seeds of civilization, the Science Council withdrew all researchers and citizens in the galaxy and went into hibernation.

After obtaining the authorization from the chairman of the committee, Commander Javiian led ten asteroid-class frigates to fly in the direction of the asteroid sea.

After passing through the "highway" composed of dozens of wormhole passages and transfer stations, the fleet entered the star field where the transfer station lost contact.

The ten spacecraft could only begin normal hyperspace flight, and abnormal fluctuations in hyperspace were also discovered by detectors launched by the empire around the star field.

After a piercing siren, Li Mingze's consciousness came to the body of the imperial capital.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, our detector has detected abnormal fluctuations in hyperspace. Based on the direction of this fluctuation, we have deduced that they are flying to the asteroid sea!" Tianyi said in a panic.

Based on her calculation of the speed at which this hyperspace fluctuation moved, the other party's technology was far superior to that of the empire.

You know, with the development of science and technology, if you want a technology to make a breakthrough, then other aspects of technology must also make progress.

The same goes for the hyperspace engine. Faster flight speed means that more powerful metals are needed to make the engine. It also means a stronger energy concentration and a reactor that can produce so much energy.

Such a powerful reactor means that numerous technological breakthroughs need to be made

Therefore, the opponent's hyperspace navigation speed also determines the opponent's civilization development speed. The universe is not an environment like the asteroid sea where one can be biased.

"How many warships can we mobilize in our empire's home star region?" Li Mingze frowned.

"There are still two million Tiger Shark-class warships and 20 million alien warships left in our empire!" Tianyi closed his eyes and counted the data.

"Send all the alien fleets to intercept!"

"I want to know who this fleet is!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and said. He already had a guess in his mind that this fleet was probably the civilization of the so-called recorder.

His move to unify the asteroid sea must have alarmed the civilization where this recorder lives.

It was entirely possible for the other party to send out a fleet for inspection. He didn't know that the reason for the other party's arrival was the destruction of those wormhole transfer stations.

A bunch of bad things coming together is the reason why they came.

"Follow your orders, the alien fleet has begun mobilizing, and it is expected to intercept the opponent when it reaches the border outpost of the fifth hexagram of our star domain!" (According to the Four Symbols and Bagua, the plane coordinate system is called a quadrant, and the three-dimensional coordinate system in space is called a hexagram. Limit, the hexagram limit containing the positive semi-axis of the x-axis, the positive semi-axis of the y-axis, and the positive semi-axis of the z-axis is called the first hexagram limit, which is located above the xoy plane and is determined in the counterclockwise direction. The parts below the four hexagrams are called the fifth, sixth, seventh and eight hexagrams respectively.)

"Let me see who this fleet is." Li Mingze said solemnly, looking at the moving red dots on the holographic screen in front of him.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the alien fleet has assembled and is waiting in the star system where the target will next jump out of hyperspace.

"The other party is expected to arrive in ten seconds!"

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

"The opposing fleet has arrived!" As the observer roared, ten five-kilometer-long silver spaceships appeared in the starry sky.

A logo consisting of a compass and a protractor was revealed on the side of the spacecraft, and the words "Humanity's Supreme Scientific Council" were spray-painted next to the logo.

"Does this human supreme scientific committee match the persona of the recorder who experimented with the asteroid sea?" Li Mingze became more and more certain that the recorder was undoubtedly this civilization.

However, he did not notice that the words "Supreme Scientific Committee of Humanity" were spray-painted in Chinese characters.

"Excuse me." Before Li Mingze could finish his words and send them out, the fleet on the opposite side suddenly shot out tens of thousands of crescent-shaped beams, cutting millions of alien warships into several sections.

"Damn it! Fight back immediately!" Li Mingze didn't expect that the other party would start war without declaring war, which made him itch with hatred.

The remaining more than 10 million alien warships began to spread out and swarmed towards the ten spaceships.

"Acid bomb attack!"

"Fire bone spur shells!" Although the alien fleet kept attacking the ten spaceships, the shields of the ten spaceships only caused a slight ripple.

"It's impossible to break their protective shield at all." Li Mingze was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the concentrated attacks of tens of millions of alien warships did not break their shield.

"Your Majesty, the opponent is using a special shield. This shield is specially designed for low-level civilizations."

"If any attack does not reach the endurance limit of the opponent's shield in an instant, their shield will not be damaged."

"On the contrary, if the strength is reached, it only takes one hit to break the shield."

"We can also create this kind of shield, but the shield's upper limit is much lower than the ordinary shield we equip."

"This makes them very vulnerable when facing warships of the same level, but they are indestructible to low-level civilizations." Tianyi suddenly appeared and explained.

"Can we make it too?" Li Mingze couldn't believe it. Why didn't he know that the empire still had this kind of technology?

"Because the technological level of the civilizations we encounter is similar to ours, this technology is not available..." Tianyi explained softly.

"Order the alien fleet to retreat. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." Li Mingze decisively gave the order to retreat.

The alien fleet that was fighting suddenly turned around and withdrew towards the outer reaches of the star system.

After destroying millions of alien warships, the Commission warship that had just finished charging seemed to feel that bullying the weak was really boring, so it stopped pursuing it and immediately entered hyperspace and disappeared into the universe.

Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief and could only withdraw the fleet deployed in the asteroid sea aside and wait for the opportunity to attack.

Before these warships arrived, he had to think of a way to deal with this fleet.

At this time, Commander Javian on the ten asteroid-class frigates sent a message back to the committee headquarters:

"The reason for the loss of contact at the transfer station has been discovered. There is a group of large space creatures occupying here, which may be a growing civilization..."
