Originally, Chu Hua thought that Daxia would be the first to complete the wormhole traversal project, but he did not expect that someone would be one step ahead of him.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have acquired wormhole-related technology."
On the star map, many new imperial forces appeared inexplicably. They spread everywhere and brought new wars.
It would be okay if the wormhole was located outside the country, as there would be enough time to prepare defense forces.
If the wormhole is within the territory and the wormhole itself has not been detected, it would be a bit unlucky.
A large number of fleets suddenly appeared and declared war directly. Before the frontline fleet had time to return, the territory was beaten to pieces.
Many people still don't understand the situation, and their homes are gone.
It wasn't until someone wiped out the invading fleet and the news broke in the chat channel that everyone knew that someone was using wormholes to cause trouble.
The intruders were able to enter the wormhole and were actually killed, which became a laughing matter for many people.
In general, the development speed of wormholes has accelerated a lot with its popularity.
We had this project originally, and we tried our best to research the technology of stable wormhole traversal first.
If there is no such project, a project will be quickly established to explore whether there are wormholes in the territory.
Within Daxia, the Huadu Galaxy.
As the galaxy where the wormhole is located, a defense force has already been deployed here to prevent unexpected war situations.
After the Star Eater incident was resolved, Chu Hua asked the Academy of Sciences to continue the wormhole traversal project.
Although the progress of the wormhole project has been delayed, it is still about the same time as originally planned.
This is actually a helpless thing. There are only so many scientific research points, just like computer computing power. If you divide some into that project, it will naturally slow down.
Moreover, there are really too many projects launched by the Daxia Academy of Sciences. Some of them are redundant due to rapid development, which is also the reason why the Academy of Sciences needs to upgrade.
For example, [Wormhole Stabilization] is a large project, which contains seven pre-projects. Only after each of them is completed can the final large project be carried out smoothly.
Fortunately, there is the technology chain of [Stargate], which allows Daxia to avoid data calculations on many small projects.
Chu Hua didn't care about the disturbances from the outside world for the time being, as long as it didn't reach Daxia anyway.
At this moment, focus on the wormhole.
What kind of existence is a wormhole?
This problem has troubled scientists for many years, and some people have dedicated their lives to it.
What is certain is that it is not the same as a hyperspace channel.
FTL technology is a very stable ultimate technology.
It is the basic structure of the entire universe, and humans only need to know how to use it.
As for wormholes, their origin is not natural.
At the very least, the sudden appearance of a passage across distant stars in space seems a bit strange.
It's like a terrifying worm gnawing around in space.
"Detector is ready!"
A scientific research ship stopped in front of the wormhole and was about to launch a detector loaded with a deep space anchor.
"OK! The wormhole stabilizer is ready and can be activated at any time."
"clear!"
A cuboid device was pulled underneath the scientific research vessel. After receiving the order to drop it, a trace of light emitted from the tail of the cuboid.
The starlight twists as it advances, transmitting images back through the communicator mounted on the surface.
Countless people held their breath and watched quietly as the detector fell into the wormhole.
This is a very wonderful experience.
Everything was twisted, and the detector seemed to have entered an extremely deep hole, or crashed into a pool of water that reflected starlight.
All engines failed at the moment of entry, and the scene inside the cave was similar to that of a rotating drum washing machine, except that the end could not be seen at a glance.
The diameter of the wormhole on the outside is only five kilometers, but looking inside, the entire universe is distorted, and there are only a few starlights coming from all directions in the depth.
The detector also moved forward like a free fall until it jumped out of the wormhole.
And when the detector successfully enters the wormhole and reaches the other side.
All the scientists looked excited and laughed.
This will mean that Daxia is no longer limited to this area and has a lot to do.
The exploration ship will set off soon.
Not long after, the situation in the galaxy on the other side of the wormhole was successfully explored.
It brought interesting data information.
"After our simple detection, we can confirm that there is no sovereign empire on the other side."
In front of Chu Hua was a picture of the other side of the wormhole connection in the Huadu galaxy. Tina explained while sending data.
"The star is an M-type red dwarf, and the entire galaxy looks relatively barren."
"The strange thing is that through diffuse signals, we have noticed that this galaxy has two hyperspace channels, but the channel distance is relatively far compared to the galaxies here. I don't know if it is an individual case or is the same here.
"
It's not bad that we haven't encountered other empires, and Chu Hua doesn't want to jump over and start a war.
"Well, send the engineering ship. First, build a star base and complete the mission of exploring the surrounding environment."
"OK."
After receiving the instructions, Tina didn't say much. She had too many projects to be busy with recently, so she quickly quit the communication to coordinate new mission plans.
"Cortana, how is the annexation of the Orange Cat Empire progressing?"
Chu Hua contacted Cortana again, it was already the end of the year, [Chasing the Galaxy] was coming to an end, and Daxia needed to further expand the number of star systems in its power.
Completing the merger is undoubtedly the most appropriate approach.
"It's almost there, or in other words, they are already ready." Cortana nodded and answered Chu Hua, then asked.
"After the Orange Cat Empire completes the merger, the integrated administrative center needs a manager. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
What Cortana was referring to was naturally the candidate for Star Governor. The Orange Cat Empire also had a lot of territory, and new Star Governor positions needed to be divided.
"Then do you have any recommendations?"
Chu Hua can recruit new Star Governors, but their experience will definitely not be as good as Cortana's team.
Cortana has been in office for such a long time and has a deep understanding of the position of Star Governor. If she has any recommendations, she will just let him take the post.
"As for the candidate, there is indeed one, but he is not from Daxia."
Cortana sent over the information about the original Star Governor of the Orange Cat Empire.
"This person named Ling Ding has very good operational skills. If His Majesty doesn't dislike it, I hope he can be elected as the Star Governor over there."
"Ling Ging..." Chu Hua looked at the other party's information and thought for a moment.
He had some impression of this middle-aged Star Governor. Although he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, his operational skills were quite good. The reason why the Orange Cat Empire was able to merge so quickly was also due to his help.
"Well, since you said so, let him become the Star Governor over there."
Chu Hua nodded and confirmed the new policy.
"After the annexation, it will become the province of Daxia. We will discuss the name later."
"Since there are multiple Governors, there should be a management position. Cortana, you will be promoted to Governor General. Is there any problem?"
"No problem."
With a slight smile, Cortana answered confidently.
At the end of November, everyone was firing on all cylinders and the war started again.
The exploration of the other end of the wormhole in the Huadu galaxy was also successfully completed.
Just like when the empire was founded back in the early days of Daxia, after the construction of the first star base was completed, outward exploration began.
December 12th.
The Orange Cat Empire was officially merged into the Daxia Empire.
