Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia showed his characteristic of always taking a slanted sword. Without any training and exercise, he personally led the Earth fleet and went straight to the old nest of the Galen Empire.

However, when the scout ship returned, it brought unexpected news that the outpost of the Galen Empire had disappeared.

"How is this possible!" Mel said eagerly: "Have you ever carefully scouted? The outpost colony of the Empire is just three days away from the fixed wormhole. In addition to guarding the entrance of the wormhole, it also serves as a deception. Planting crops, raising livestock and aquatic products, it looks like an agricultural colony, but behind the scenes, there is a large military power of the empire hidden."

Through Mel's introduction, Luo Jia already knew that the Galen Empire regarded this hidden and fixed large-scale wormhole as their own forbidden area, and refused to share it with anyone. They set up outposts and pretended to develop agriculture, but in fact they Secretly use wormholes to explore the galaxy.

The military outpost is the first obstacle for the Earth Fleet to enter the Garenian Empire.

However, Huang Zan went to the opposite side of the wormhole, and came back to say that the outpost and the colony are gone, and even the large space station has not been scanned. This makes Mel feel incredible. After all, abandoning the outpost military base is equivalent to giving up on the wormhole. hole control.

Passing through the wormhole is the Milky Way with a diameter of 120,000 light-years. So far, no other intelligent life has been found in the Milky Way apart from the earth. Having control over the wormhole is equivalent to owning the resources of the entire galaxy. The Galen Empire will never It may be easy to give up. Compared with the dangerous and densely populated stars, the Milky Way is a virgin land with milk and honey.

Huang Zan shrugged helplessly. He felt that Mel doubted himself and was a bit insulting to his intelligence. The main members of the Earth Fleet were a group of e-sports experts from Xingchen Technology. Lang, but also a ruthless character who once led the team to win the intercontinental championship.

If you look at it from the perspective of the older generation, the Earth Fleet can really piss off the traditional soldiers. Before the fleet set off, even the generals complained to Luo Jia. Young people like Luo Jia, don't they think war is an electronic sport?

Science and engineering geeks, game madmen, such a group of people form a fleet?

Is it plausible!

However, the development of history will never be shifted by personal will. Unknowingly, the times have completely changed. Even in the era when China did not go to the stars and the sea, the earth war has already moved towards unmanned and e-sports. develop.

Do things like manipulating tactical drones require muscles or brains?

The results are obviously self-evident, the importance of smart brains and sharp neural reflexes for the operation of tactical drones,

Much more than muscular.

What's more, with the crazy development of life sciences, human beings are breaking through the limitations of genes. Gene liberation and proper exercise can easily make glasses nerds get rid of emaciation and have well-developed muscles.

All in all, physical fitness can be exercised, but IQ is flawed. In the past years of physical fitness, it was not that geniuses were not allowed to go to the battlefield, but that geniuses had no way to survive on the battlefield.

Given the choice, who wouldn't want to lead an army of highly intelligent individuals?

Well now, with robots and unmanned combat machines becoming the main force, the IQ advantages of geniuses can be brought into play, so Luo Jia took no time to form a high IQ army.

A strong and fierce soldier is still a model in the army, but a thin and thin man with glasses is also a qualified soldier and plays a vital role in the army. This is the Chinese army in the new era. Muscle is important and IQ is even more important.

"Forget it, now is not the time to argue." Luo Jia waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "It's very simple to find out the reason. Let's go to the opposite side of the wormhole!"

...

Swish Swish Swish~

After careful investigation, the earth fleet left half of the starships, and the remaining ships, led by Luo Jia and Shen Lang, passed through the wormhole and entered the stars.

Luo Jia also didn't know how to define the stars. It was a super large star region, a bit like the Milky Way, but far wider than the Milky Way. It was shaped like an irregular polyhedron, and its total area was about ten times larger than the Milky Way.

Even with a jump engine with a speed of five light-years per hour, it would take thirty-six years for the Earth fleet to cross the stars, and only two years and nine months to cross the Milky Way.

It seems that the distance among the stars is the biggest trouble, but according to the star map, there are many fixed wormholes in the stars, like a high-speed bridge, which can greatly shorten the distance between two points.

From ancient times to the present, these fixed wormholes have been a battleground for military strategists. In order to compete for wormholes, major civilizations often fight.

Under such circumstances, the Galen Empire, located on the edge, was lucky enough to find a hidden wormhole, which made the empire ecstatic. This wormhole jumped out of the range of the stars and went directly to the distant galaxy. It was even luckier than winning the grand prize. .

Until they met Xingchen Technology in the process of exploring the galaxy...

"It's gone, it's really gone, it's really gone..." When he found out that the outpost of the Galen Empire really couldn't be scanned, Mel had a bad premonition, and kept chanting like a lost soul.

"Don't worry, we have already sent a scout ship to search on the spot, and the results will be available soon." Luo Jia tried to comfort Mel.

The inability of the LiDAR system to scan the outpost does not mean that the outpost does not exist. It may be due to interference or other reasons that the signal distortion of the outpost is unknown.

"Teacher, the Mole has arrived at the location of the outpost." Not long after, Shen Lang said to Luo Jia.

"Project the signal on the big screen." Luo Jia ordered in a deep voice.

Shua~

The light flashed away, and Huang Zan's figure appeared on the giant command screen. Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he frowned and said: "After our investigation, we found that the outpost of the Galen Empire did not disappear, but was attacked. And destroyed."

being attacked! ?

Everyone was stunned. As Huang Zan played the live shooting, Luo Jia and the others saw the colony that had been smashed into slag, the tri-pointed stele that symbolized the empire was cut off in the middle, there were ruins everywhere, and the ground was cut. , The underground bunker was completely exposed, and the humans and materials hidden in the bunker turned into dust in the universe.

"A very neat incision." Shen Lang turned to Luo Jia, and said in a deep voice, "It should be a laser weapon with high power, the kind that can cut off the moon."

Luo Jia gritted his teeth. Laser weapons do not necessarily mean advanced, but laser weapons with a power that reaches the level of cutting satellites must be supported by top-notch black technology. After all, super-high-power lasers require crystal technology, energy excitation technology, and energy gathering technology. Difficulty Both are very high.

"Who could have done it?" Luo Jia frowned and asked Mel, wanting to know from him whether there were any powerful enemies in the Galen Empire.

With a dazed look on his face, Mel said with a painful expression: "The Empire has no enemies at all! We have been tucking our tails between the stars to survive, because we are afraid that others will know that we have the blueprint for the curtain invisibility system, wait... the curtain system? Could it be? Because someone is eyeing our invisibility technology, so the killer is killed?"

"There is such a possibility." Luo Jia nodded slightly.

A top-notch stealth technology with huge value, but because of this, it killed an empire with tens of billions of people? It seems too cruel and merciless.

Are all the civilizations among the stars such ruthless characters?

"Could it be the Star Ring Trade Group?" Luo Jia tentatively asked: "The Star Ring Group knows your details, maybe they did it themselves, or sold the information to other civilizations in need."

Mel shook his head, "This possibility is very low, because Xinghuan is one of the largest traders, and merchants pay attention to reputation. If they sell their customers like this, it is impossible for them to make such a big business."

This is also...

Luo Jia pondered, both Hei Jian and Lan Yu mentioned Star Ring trade, and their reputation has always been good. In addition, Star Ring Group probably also has a star map, otherwise it would not be able to support the huge trade empire that spreads across the entire stars.

One day, two days, three days.

As more and more information was gathered into the Earth Fleet, Luo Jia finally understood that things had changed dramatically.

On the afternoon of the third day, the scouting fleet arrived at the home of the Galen Empire, the King's Arm galaxy, and reported the tragic situation on the scene. Luo Jia and Mel finally confirmed that there is no such thing as the Galen Empire in this world...

"You stay here and train the main fleet." At the meeting, Luo Jia told Shen Lang: "The fleet has not been polished and drilled at all, so it came to the stars. Taking this opportunity, first complete the integration of the fleet, and then put the worm Arranged around the hole."

"After all, this wormhole is probably the only way to enter the Milky Way. Keeping it here is very important to China and the earth."

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "To go to Xinghuan Trade, the fewer people the better, the smaller the target, the better."

"So you and Zhang Qidou stay here, and I'll go."
