Star Empire

After the bridge was successfully erected, the stress zone experienced a sudden and rapid rise—a situation that had not been anticipated.

Not only the Black Gate Fortress, but almost at the same time, the Ursula Empire's Shule Fortress, the Korra Super Deep Chaotic Sea Broadcasting Station in the Wanhua Shenting enclave, and those distributed around the God Realm, monitoring those eternal The deep monitoring stations of the Chaotic Sea Giant Gate have also discovered the sudden rise of the stress zone. The sudden change in the position of the stress zone is definitely not an isolated case limited to a few locations. This should be a major event that affects the entire void.

Nearly a million years ago, the stress zone had been detected by researchers from the Halo Federation. After being generated, it has been floating at a relatively constant speed. According to calculations, before the bridge was built, it should take hundreds of years for the stress zone to float to the vicinity of the exit of the chaotic sea.

But now, the sudden rise of the stress zone has made these hundreds of years no longer exist.

The only factor that may lead to this situation is the Void Bridge. Apart from that bridge, federal scholars could not imagine what else had happened recently that could cause such a rapid change in this unimaginable large-scale stress zone.

It may be that after the Void Bridge was erected, the unbalanced virtual information on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has begun to violently convection, which has temporarily weakened the orderly world's suppression of the chaotic sea. It may also be that the "damage" caused by the bridge itself to the large membrane has affected the large membrane, which in turn promotes the sudden rise of the stress zone. But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter what is the reason for this phenomenon to occur, it is no longer important. What is important is that the sudden changes have disrupted the original deployment and plan.

What else can be done in this last year?

"Currently, we need to change the specific implementation method of emergency expansion. Although the old implementation method can ensure that the world included in the federal system is safer, it also has disadvantages such as slow expansion. Now, what we need most is speed."

"The reports sent back by the pioneering team located deep in the void show that the probability of them encountering world fragments and doomsday wreckage during their voyage is rapidly increasing. The number of worlds in the void being affected by the unknown wave of destruction is increasing. This wave The 'Wave of Destruction' is destroying the existing world at an accelerating pace, now far faster than it was before the bridge was successfully built."

"Don't let the teams responsible for emergency expansion advance in front, it's too slow. Break the large formation into more small formations, let everyone spread out, and allow the small teams to reach farther positions as much as possible! It's necessary In this case, just one look and eye contact is enough to bring that world into the protected range!"

"But this is irresponsible behavior! You and I both know that after the bridge is successfully built, the cataclysm will only be weakened, but it will still break out! Also, although the sea pollution will be weakened after the cataclysm, but They will not disappear! Moreover, the chaotic sea pollution is likely to enter a new high-outbreak stage after the outbreak of the catastrophe! The world that has not been properly dealt with will collapse in the face of chaotic sea pollution, so this so-called asylum What’s the difference between nothing and nothing?!”

"There will always be more worlds that survive the subsequent ocean pollution."

"This is tantamount to allowing those lives that could have died quietly and peacefully to face purgatory!"

"Don't they deserve our protection?! Isn't the relatively safe but extremely slow advance of the front another kind of unfair to those civilizations far away from the front?"

"Dismantle the current formation arrangement of all "Great Journey" class virtual point jump ships. All virtual point jump ships are reorganized into small formations nearby. The total number of Great Journey class ships included in a formation must not exceed three. Each formation is divided into three levels. Free navigation rules jump far into the void. During the jump, pay attention to the world passing by on the path, and set up sovereign facilities if necessary. Worlds with sovereign facilities should be formed within the range of ten jumps to form a void blockade effect A closed defensive circle.”

"Recently, the quarrels in the Supreme Council of the Star Circle seem to be very fierce?" On the Void Sun, Vesrifan asked as he looked at the somewhat solemn-looking Vidovel.

"Yes, there was a lot of quarrel. Each country's understanding of emergency expansion and the actual implementation method are different. The same goes for the gods. The differences in their concepts are quite obvious. But in the end, it is still about building bridges. After that, many things changed beyond their previous expectations. These unexpected changes not only made many previous arrangements difficult to carry out, but also made a large number of plans that were established on the basis of the void cataclysm not be advanced or delayed. The basic plan failed."

"But it's not incomprehensible. After all, no matter how we make a decision, it will bring losses and sacrifices. Now we can only say that we have to do our best to obey fate." Talking about those inevitable sacrifices, recalling the previous meeting at the Supreme Council I have been there before, and the debate in theory almost developed into a physical debate. Recalling those sharp but practical words, Vidoville found that he didn't have any good solution.

The void is boundless and vast. It is too big. Unless civilization achieves several more revolutionary breakthroughs and there are many explosive technological revolutions that can subvert previous understandings, no matter how the territory of the Federation expands outward, the area it can occupy will be relatively small. Compared with the vast void, it is always close to zero. Only life under the protection of the Will of the Void can survive the catastrophe, and places beyond the sight of the Will of the Void

It's unfair, but now it seems there is no better way. After all, except for the final passing, there may be no real fairness in the void.

"By the way, Lil, how do you feel?"

"I feel fine. Are you saying there is something strange about the exit of the super chaotic sea? I don't feel anything wrong at the moment." Wei Ruifan looked at himself. "Tsk, but there is still no shortage of defensive measures that should be taken. After all, it is something connected to the chaotic sea. If it really exploded at this time, wouldn't it be a weird thing?! By the way, since the long bridge has If we set it up, the great cause will naturally be accomplished - should we change the reign name? Will you propose a reign name this time? "

"Well, what about the new year and the Void Anniversary?" Victorville suggested after thinking for a while, "Also, I think the first year of the Void Annals can be the zeroth year instead of the first year. After the cataclysm is over, One year, we consider it the first year of the void calendar.”

"OK."

Having said this, the two of them suddenly realized that they seemed to be unable to find any other topics for a while. The inconspicuous little villa on the scorching sun was shrouded in silence.

"I will always be waiting for you on the inner ring defense track to come back."

"Um."

The great journey towards the far-reaching void is still continuing its great journey.

Whenever a world passes by, the huge flying-wing ship will cast more eyes on that world. Inside its hull, industrial modules are running non-stop, shaping countless drone carriers or hive carriers from a furnace filled with extraordinary energy. These drone motherships will be launched regularly, they will find a suitable place to take root, and then continue the process of development and observation.

Because of the existence of these drone swarms/insect swarms that can rapidly expand, the Empire can extend a rescue hand to the void on behalf of the Federation. As each Great Journey-class ship sails deeper and further into the void, it itself is like a vertex, and behind it, there is a huge sector being dragged forward by it.

In the void, there are countless such units that are advancing deeper and further into the void, and there are countless such sectors that are enlarging and spreading.

Only the world within the sector can be protected by the will of the void. These sheltered worlds will survive the onslaught of the coming Void Cataclysm.

As the Great Journey class flies across countless worlds, these ships will leave more impact on the worlds they pass along the way. The sovereign facilities deployed in those worlds that are urgently included in the sanctuary will be activated in a short period of time. They will use unique methods to hide themselves. While countless ships are flying through the void, they will also sow the secrets of the mother civilization. Influence.

Perhaps in the future, more civilizations will be surprised by when their own scholars proposed the concept of unified information, and will be surprised by the wonder of the world. They will use their own methods to verify the authenticity of these conjectures, and then in In front of the suddenly wide road, I was surprised and expressed many irrelevant emotions.

However, those are all things for later, long time later.

Things have changed a bit recently.

No matter how far these ships sail, they always seem to be standing still. Both the virtual point jump engine and the conventional void engine clearly show the result of "the ship is sailing", but the front of the ship is becoming more and more empty. It's getting more and more ethereal. In the end, the worlds that lined the dark sky like dots of stars completely disappeared, and the dark curtain of chaos was displayed in front of all the ships.

Maybe now is the time to go back.

Around the Void Fiery Sun, the empire assembled an unprecedentedly powerful armed force. These armed forces established multiple lines of defense around the Void Fierce Sun, restraining the bright and dazzling blazing white light within the defense line.

The Cataclysm is coming—the moment is approaching that will determine whether the Void Sun can continue to shine upon the Empire in the next era of the Void.

The stress zone is undulating, rising slowly but unstoppably. It is gradually approaching the exit of the chaotic sea, and is gradually approaching the "foundation" on which all order entities can exist.

"This is the Black Gate Fortress. The Black Gate Fortress has been networked with all the deep facilities stationed in the Chaos Sea Realm. The Black Gate Fortress is synchronized with the catastrophe countdown clock established by the Star Ring Federation. Now, the fortress will report to the Emperor's Council and Vidoville Your Majesty reports on the rising stress zone, please synchronize the time accordingly."

"There are still about three days before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There is still about one day before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about seventeen hours before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about five hours before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about one hour and thirty-five minutes before the stress zone floats to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about fifteen minutes and fifty-six seconds before the stress zone floats to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about four minutes and twelve seconds before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about one minute and thirty-seven seconds before the stress zone floats to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about twenty-one seconds before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about nine seconds before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"There are still about three seconds before the stress zone rises to the exit of the chaotic sea."

"The stress zone has risen to the height of the chaotic sea outlet, and the stress zone has disappeared."

The void cataclysm broke out.

The silence around them was not broken.

The Blazing Sun of the Void is still swallowing countless magnificent prominences normally. The fleet surrounding the Blazing Sun is still parked steadily in orbit. The noise and tranquility of the entire empire have not changed at all. Many lives are even still alive. In deep sleep.

These beings may be thinking about what they can do in the future before falling asleep, and may find it strange that there are more fleets than usual around the Void Fierce Sun. They may be planning how to decorate their new home, or they may be planning how to enrich themselves after waking up.

However, no matter what, they were still in a deep sleep and were not disturbed. The cataclysm did indeed break out, but it broke out outside the area where the order life could see.

The Empire is intact, the Void Sun is intact. The bell is ringing to bid farewell to the old era and embrace the new era.

"Wood, I'm still here."

"Um."
