My sampan can be upgraded

The shipboard intelligence reminded that it would arrive at the star gate area in half a day, and the Tomahawk began to gradually slow down.

The Star Gate is a huge spherical space with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, flashing with various streams of light and electricity. It is transformed by using a natural wormhole and formed after it is stabilized. The location to which space jumps through it is also fixed, so it is not a teleportation array that can be controlled. To go from one galaxy to another target galaxy, you often have to pass through the star gates of many other galaxies.

The Xiebao Galaxy has only one star gate, so it can only reach a large galaxy called Gu Zhong through it. From the star map, it is also far away from the habitable planet, with a journey of more than seven days.

There are twenty warships from the Principality of Xiting stationed near the Star Gate. They were recently stationed.

When it was millions of kilometers away from the star gate, the space radio radar detected the fleet in the space near the star gate, and the other side immediately sent a radio conversation request to the Tomahawk. After establishing contact, Ling Qi saw that the other party looked very serious. After confirming Ling Qi's military identity, his expression softened slightly.

"Are you going to other galaxies? The situation nearby during this period is a bit complicated. It would be too risky for you to come out with an unarmed fourth-level spaceship..." Ling Qi's identity certificate and military merit certificate gained the other party's full trust. Through the conversation, Ling Qi learned that the so-called complexity includes three aspects.

On the one hand, there is the special force he belongs to. In the past two days, hundreds of interstellar armed spacecraft have been ordered from the galaxy opposite the Star Gate and are being delivered one after another. The first batch of forty ships is expected to arrive at the Star Gate in five days. The special forces are also arriving at the star gate in a spaceship. They will be delivered here and opposite, and reorganized and trained on the spot.

The second aspect is that harassment by pirates has become more frequent. Because pirate gangs are coming from distant galaxies one after another, the pirates here will always send one or two warships to provoke, intending to lure away the fleet stationed here, so that other pirates can take the opportunity to pass through the star gate. They had been fooled several times, and although they sank two of them, it also led to several groups of pirates coming in.

The third aspect is that some warlords in the Diwu Principality are suspected of colluding with pirates. From time to time, they will start fake fights in the nearby starry sky with the intention of creating chaos. Now, they are facing this problem. In the starry sky near the Diwu Principality, dozens of spaceships are at war, posing as if they are ready for a decisive battle at any time. The garrison fleet of the Principality of Xiting is paying close attention to the situation nervously.

Of course, the starry sky near the Tewu Principality mentioned here is only relative to the current situation. Since the Xieba Galaxy is a remote large star system, the planets are closer and farther away as they orbit the stars, and their orientation is not eternal. There is no absolute starry sky boundary between the two principalities. The so-called boundary is only the relative position at a certain period of time.

As the Tomahawk gradually approached, Ling Qi discovered a problem. The two fleets confronting each other were too close to the star gate, only a few thousand kilometers away. If he continued to sail towards the star gate, he would fall into the opponent's range. If the opponent suddenly fires a volley at him, the Tomahawk will never be able to withstand it.

"Seventeen and fifteen spaceships are confronting each other. These bastards deliberately brought the area around the star gate within the shooting range. There is no guarantee that they have no evil intentions. Even the garrison fleet in Xiting was forced to withdraw a certain distance to stay out of the shooting range. This Don't take risks." Ling Qi adjusted his direction and drew a huge arc closer to the garrisoned fleet. He contacted the communications officer just now and expressed that he needed to pass through the star gate. Could he ask the fleet commander to help negotiate with the other side and let the two groups of spacecraft on the other side give a safe distance.

"It's useless. We warned the other side when they were approaching the star gate, but they didn't listen. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to retreat so far..." The fleet guessed that the other side either wanted to drag them into the water and take the opportunity to inflame the war. Come here, or there are pirates coming across the star gate.

Damn it, Ling Qi had to stop the car.

"Or you can wait here for a few days. After the special forces arrive, they can assemble the newly purchased spacecraft and push the other side back." The communications officer of the fleet next to him suggested.

"Are they waiting to grab a new spaceship?" Ling Qi asked a very layman's question.

"No, they don't have authority, and it's useless to seize the spaceship. And knowing that the situation here is complicated, the other side will confirm the safety with us through a special force before entering the star gate to avoid being ambushed."

Ling Qi hesitated in his heart. There was no fleet stationed around the star gate in one case. The Principality of Xiting sent twenty ships because of the recent pirates. He had to be careful when passing through this star gate, so as not to fall into a group of pirates on the other side.

He zoomed in on the photoelectric camera and saw the huge star gate thousands of kilometers away. There are six artificial celestial bodies around the Star Gate. Ling Qi once learned about their functions on the Internet. They use a complex energy matrix to collect the space energy escaping from the wormhole at all times, which in turn maintains the stability of the Star Gate, so there is no need Provides additional huge energy support.

The construction of the Star Gate is the responsibility of the most transcendent force in interstellar civilization, and its name is "Star Gate". They have space curvature drive technology that is more advanced than the current conventional space propulsion technology and countless Star Destroyer giant ships. There is no empire. Dare to provoke. When Ling Qi learned about the star gate information on the interstellar network, he saw a record. There was once an empire that deliberately destroyed the star gate in order to gain an advantage when launching a war. As a result, it attracted a thunderous attack from this powerful force and was destroyed in a short period of time. Total destruction. From then on, even pirates did not dare to easily think of destroying the star gate...

The two fleets in the direction of the Diwu Principality neither started fighting nor retreated. They just stood there facing each other, which made Ling Qidan feel pain. He felt that these guys were here specifically to oppose him. He locked two of the warships through radar and sent a radio conversation request. Half a minute later, the other side established contact with him.

"Two eldest brothers, the younger brother is from the Principality of Xiting. If you want to pass through the Star Gate, can you please make a safe distance?" Ling Qi lowered his posture and said to the two people who were projected by the hologram.

"Damn you kid, go back if you don't have any eggs, and don't bother us."

"snort……"

Neither of them bothered to communicate with him more and cut off contact directly. Ling Qi was furious: "You bastards, when the special forces come, I will definitely encourage the fleet to go over and blast you." He decided to wait here and take a look at what his unit looked like.

In fact, if Ling Qi was willing to take risks, he might just get over it by avoiding the rush. The distance of a space battle can often be measured in hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. Even if the energy beam of a destroyer cannon is fired at close to the speed of light and can arrive instantly, there will always be a slight delay in the muzzle following the evading target. The difference is even a millimeter when it reaches the target distance. There has been a huge deviation. But Ling Qi felt that there was no need to take such a risk and decided to wait. Maybe there is a pirate team on the other side ready to come, and it would be dangerous for him to rush over like this...

The capital star is more than five days away from the star gate. Under the escort of four battleships, the commander of the special force personally led 2,000 "salted fish" to the star gate in four battleships and two troop transports.

The commander is now very high-spirited. As the commander of the "Salted Fish Troop", although his subordinates are all noble young soldiers with a shocking background, he has still been ridiculed by his colleagues before. There is no other way, there is really no impressive performance, training and martial arts are not good, and the battle is even more hopeless. Now the salted fish army has become a salted fish fleet, and it has really made a comeback.

The huge fleet of more than 400 interstellar armed spaceships was larger than all the fleets in service in the principality combined. No one dared to laugh at him anymore.

"The time we arrived at the Star Gate happened to be about the same time as the first batch of spaceships were delivered. Spaceships will be delivered one after another every day, and they will be ready to be reorganized soon. This time, a group of instructors from the First Fleet were specially invited to come. Instruct these salty fish in space tactics and train on the spot. It just so happens that the garrison fleet has been complaining and being provoked to lose its temper these days. Then I will let my salty fish fleet appear and see who is losing temper..."

The commander was having sex to his heart's content, but he just couldn't hum a song. Regarding space warfare, he only had theories and no practical experience. After all, he had never led a fleet. This training will achieve its goal as long as the fleet under his command can master the basic coordination. It is not that fighting in a complex meteorite belt will require combat skills. In the empty space environment, it only needs to be crushed by numbers and scale.

Two days later, there was a flash on the star gate's spherical surface, and a huge sixth-level battleship emerged from it with an energy shield, and residual energy arcs filled the outside of the shield.

In the battleship, a middle-aged man looked arrogantly at the two fleets confronting each other on the holographic projection and the Xiting fleet watching on. He smiled contemptuously and said: "You guys in the wilderness don't know what to say!"

The battleship accelerated and was heading towards the capital star of the Principality of Xiting.

At this time, on one of the battleships on the Tiwu side, the commander's eyes lit up: "If the sixth-level battleship heading to Xiting is a senior member of Xiting, killing him will definitely push Xiting into the water and completely mess up the situation! "

He sent a dialogue request to the sixth-level battleship, and the two sides quickly established contact. A middle-aged man appeared on the projection with cold eyes.

"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man seemed to have been in a high position for a long time, and asked in a tone of voice addressing his subordinates.

Commander Diwu suddenly felt angry. He suppressed his emotions with reason, and inevitably said in a bad tone: "Who are you? Tell me your origins."

"Hmph, you don't have the right to know who I am!" The middle-aged man smiled contemptuously and hung up the conversation. Commander Diwu felt Ling Qi's original emotions and almost exploded with anger. He raised his hand and pressed a button fiercely, and a special signal sound sounded simultaneously on the thirty-two spacecraft in the pretend confrontation. This was the signal to launch an attack.

Dozens of fighter cannons locked onto the sixth-level battleship and began charging at the same time.

"What?" The middle-aged man was shocked, and the warning sound sounded loudly on the bridge.

"Asshole, get out of the way." He roared, not expecting to encounter a group of reckless lunatics. Many subordinates were busy, issuing various instructions to the shipboard intelligence according to their respective responsibilities. Some were responsible for locking and charging weapons, some were responsible for avoidance, some were responsible for observing the environment, and some were responsible for monitoring possible damage inside and outside the warship and commanding repairs. The robot is on standby and can be repaired and repaired at any time.

In fact, when encountering such an attack lock, the shipboard intelligence itself will automatically fly irregularly to avoid it. Therefore, although the volleys from Tiwu's fleet intertwined a dense energy network, only four attacks happened to hit the target, and even the energy shield was not broken.
