According to statistics from many intelligence empires, after the current galaxy has been shuffled many times, judging from the distribution of each star region, there are approximately 3 billion power empires left.
If we exclude empires that have been vassalized and those that have been transformed into harmonious empires, the number of truly independent power empires is only 1.5 billion.
Without exception, they are all very powerful beings.
At this time, the ninth star field is in the fourth star zone.
A powerful interstellar empire is preparing for a major project.
The Storm Empire, with 155 power systems, founded the Storm Alliance.
The ruler's name is Varian, and he is a stout man with long flowing black hair that does not look delicate, and a gorgeous ornament tied on his forehead.
Thanks to his efforts, the ranking of [Zhaolu Galaxy] at the beginning of the year was defeated by the Ishgard Empire by an extremely narrow margin, becoming the second largest empire in this sector.
Although Varian was helpless at this result, he was not discouraged.
Because, through the excavation of the ruins, he obtained extremely surprising information, which was the coordinates of a star gate.
After more than three months of exploration and analysis, the coordinates of the star gate were finally determined.
When he saw the appearance of the Star Gate with his own eyes, Varian couldn't help but be moved to tears. Such an existence beyond human imagination is really shocking.
They were two giant structures thousands of kilometers in length, like two claws hooked together, standing quietly in the deep space.
What’s even more surprising is that after investigation, it was found that this star gate is almost in complete condition, except that it looks a little dilapidated on the outside!
In other words, as long as the activation technology is developed, it can be put into use!
Therefore, the main strategy of the Storm Empire this year is to conduct detailed research on activating the Star Gate.
It was not until mid-May that the Academy of Science of the Storm Empire finally successfully researched the star gate activation technology, and now is the time to prepare to open it.
"Medivine, how is the progress of opening the star gate's energy source?"
On the main star of the Storm Empire, Varian asked the chief scientist in the communication with great anticipation.
The scientist named Medivh calmly flipped through the data in front of him and confirmed: "We have already met 94% of the 860,000 units of energy blocks required to activate the Ahn'Qiraj Star Gate, and it is expected that it will be fully satisfied in two hours.
need."
Varian nodded and then ordered: "Well, let the fleet be prepared. If an accident occurs, ensure that the researchers evacuate as soon as possible."
"clear!"
He looked at the territory of the Storm Empire on the star map, and then looked at the star gate status of the Ahn'Qiraj system.
Varian felt a surge of pride in his heart. According to his investigation, there were not many forces that knew about the existence of the Star Gate.
Not to mention the existence of a complete star gate.
And now, the Storm Empire will become the first force to open the Star Gate, how can he not be excited?
"Your Majesty, the speech to commemorate the opening ceremony of the Star Gate has been prepared. Is it convenient for you now?"
A pleasant voice came out in the communication, which was the Star Governor channel specially established by Varian.
"I'm available at any time, Tiffin." Looking at the woman in front of him, Varian said with a smile.
Soon, he appeared in all media and gave a speech to celebrate the launch of the Star Gate.
This was the great moment when the Storm Empire opened its first galaxy miracle. Varian's passionate words made countless people shout long live.
Let the cohesion of the entire empire rise again!
Then, amid much anticipation, came the moment when the Star Gate officially opened.
"Just activating it will cost so many resources. I can't imagine the cost of construction..."
Watching the star gate gradually tremble, Varian couldn't help but sigh.
Within the Ahn'Qiraj system.
The two giant structures that make up the star gate are slowly opening, and at the same time, several devices hundreds of kilometers long pop up to form hooks.
Immediately afterwards, violent energy erupted, and the strange boson ball escaped, and was locked in a fixed area by the giant device.
Finally, a dark ball of light expanded nearly a thousand miles away from the center of the star gate. Looking inside, one could only feel the depth.
The size of the fully opened star gate is nearly three thousand kilometers in scope. It is truly a miracle of the galaxy!
People throughout the Stormwind Empire cheered for joy, praising Varian's majesty and praising the greatness of the empire.
Varian also waved his hand and held a seven-day celebration banquet to celebrate this great achievement.
But what he didn't know was that when the Ahn'Qiraj Star Gate completed its resonance.
Star gates throughout the galaxy have received this resonance information, but this is a one-way ticket.
Because if it is not opened or damaged, no stargate will respond to the resonance information of the Ahn'Qiraj Stargate.
And due to the resonance effect of all star gates, it aroused the attention of all space creatures and triggered their riots...
When Varian learned this, it was already after the celebration.
"After our many tests, even if the Ahn'Qiraj Star Gate is opened, we have no way to use it for the time being."
"Now it seems that we still need the resonance points of other star gates to complete the jumping process."
Medivh's tone was a little regretful when he reported.
After listening to the report, Varian's face was dull.
"Doesn't that mean that the opening of the Ahn'Qiraj Star Gate is meaningless?"
"Not really, at least we know the status of the follow-up projects."
"I've been working hard for so long, and this is the ending. It's such a big loss."
"Uh... Well... I have to tell you that the operation of the star gate requires energy maintenance. According to our calculations, the daily maintenance cost of the Ahn'Qiraj Star Gate is 1,566 energy coins."
"Since it's useless for the time being, I might as well stop it."
"Well...I have to tell you again, if the Star Gate is reopened, the resources required will not be much less than the first activation."
"...."
It is said that the ruler of the Stormwind Empire climbed the highest mountain on the main planet alone after that day and began to retreat into seclusion.
If it weren't for the riot of space creatures, he might not be able to return to working condition.
at the same time.
The Milky Way, the third star field, the third star district, within the Lanxi fiefdom.
The Daxia fleet is launching a fierce offensive surrounding the Star Eater.
This time is different from the last joint attack with the Ottoman fleet. That time there were Ottoman warships at the front. This time we can only rely on the efforts of our own fleet.
In the starry sky, the wreckage of the battleship was scattered everywhere.
Needless to say, the sudden battle caused the Daxia fleet to suffer a lot of losses.
But the strange thing is that the combat personnel on the ship are not demoralized, but rather happy.
Because they discovered that Star Eater was much easier to fight than the invincible R'lyeh.
At the very least, even if they collide directly, they can cause a lot of damage to the Star Eater.
At this time, Chu Hua also learned the truth about the Star Eater attack through the collection of many intelligences.
He looked at the 30 jump points below Lanxi Feng and hummed.
