Chapter 64: The Tragedy of the Small Patrol (Part 1)
Although the Wumusui Empire is a first-level empire, it is the farthest first-level empire from the Glory Star in all the Setian universe.
Arranging the general Setian universe empires, you will find a very interesting phenomenon. If the general empires are arranged from high to low, the empires closer to the Setian Empire will have higher levels. These empires surround the Glory Star.
, arranged almost in a radial cone shape, and each cone is a force.
The top of the cone is the Setian Empire, followed by the first-level empire, and further still, the second-level empire, and so on. The second-level empires each form their own small cone sphere of influence, and the same is true for the third-level empires.
But there are exceptions, such as the Wumusui Empire, which is not located at the top of the cone of the sphere of influence it controls, but is located at the second echelon of the cone, in the area that is supposed to be a second-level empire.
Because the Wumusui Empire was the former second-level empire, it simply killed off the old first-level empire that was originally ranked in front of it, replaced the original first-level empire, and at the same time inherited its sphere of influence.[
Logically speaking, when it replaced the old first-level empire, it should have taken over all its star regions. However, the Wumusui Empire was very smart and did not annex the old first-level empire. Instead, it retained that empire.
, since the empire was retained, there was a good reason not to annex other people's star regions, so it was logical to stay where they were.
Because it knows very well that if it occupies the star domain of the old first-level empire, it will face direct squeeze from the five empires bordering it. The struggle between the first-level empire and the first-level empire is extremely fierce.
And this kind of struggle is what the Setian Empire is happy to see happen. Even if there is no dispute between two adjacent first-level empires for a hundred years, the Setian Empire will find a way to prevent them from having conflicts.
contradiction.
There are advantages to being close to the Setian Empire. First of all, it has certain advantages in trade, and it also has the opportunity to obtain the latest new technologies developed by the Setian Empire for the first time. However, for Wu Mu Sui, who had just taken over the territory of the original suzerain country at that time,
As for the empire, its strength after the war was really unable to withstand the pressure from other first-level empires around it, so it traded space for time and chose to continue to develop on its original territory.
Because it is far away from other first-level empires and is surrounded by second-level empires, it poses almost no threat to the Wumusui Empire. Therefore, the Wumusui Empire also developed like this, taking advantage of other first-level empires.
The advantage of the long distance between them has been a period of rapid development for more than a hundred years, and they can truly catch up with the strength that a first-class empire should have.
The Wumusui Empire, which discovered this advantage, knew its taste. It was not willing to easily border with other first-level empires. The benefits were obvious, and it was unlikely that other first-level empires would go to great lengths to suppress it.
On his territory, if other first-level empires want to encroach on its sphere of influence, they must start from the original first-level empire that was defeated by the Wumusui Empire and is now reduced to a second-level empire.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although it was defeated by the Wu Mu Sui Empire, the foundation of the original first-level empire was still there. Therefore, the defeated Siam Puyue Empire was not stronger than the ordinary second-level empire.
After failing once, the Siam Puyue Empire is certainly not willing to fail a second time. In addition, it has often fought with other first-level empires in the past. There is already hatred, and it will naturally rise up against other first-level empires.
Suppression. In other words, it helped the Wumu Sui Empire resist the pressure of other first-level empires.
And if the war really starts, the Wumu Sui Empire will certainly not sit idly by. In this way, the battlefield will not be opened in the star domain directly under the jurisdiction of the Wu Mu Sui Empire. The result is to kill two birds with one stone. First, it will not have to bear the losses of the battlefield location.
, Secondly, other empires have also fictitiously helped to suppress the Siam Puyue Empire, which although it has surrendered, is actually not thinking about revenge and regaining its position as a first-class empire, leaving it almost no chance to turn around.
Doing this is very stressful, because you need to divide your troops a lot. Not only does your own star field have to defend against expeditions and sneak attacks from other first-level empires, but you also have to help the Siam Puyue Empire defend against the pressure of neighboring first-level empires. But it is very stressful.
At the same time, the opportunities are also great, and the distance is far away. Not only are the other first-level empires not so clear about the situation of the Wumusui Empire, but even the Setian Empire cannot really figure out how many trump cards the Wumusui Empire has.
Therefore, in the Setian Empire's intelligence agency, the Wumu Sui Empire is only a mid-level first-class empire. In fact, the strength of the Wumu Sui Empire has already surpassed other first-class empires by half a body. If it were not for the scruples of coloring
The Heavenly Empire will intervene, and the Wumusui Empire is fully capable of starting a war with two first-level empires at the same time and winning!
All this stems from the silent development of the Wumusui Empire, and also from the fact that it is relatively far away from the Setian Empire. In the eyes of the Setian royal family and other first-level emperors, a place so far away is a barbaric place.
The land is quite backward, so naturally it is ignored.
This situation is very similar to China's reform and opening up for more than 30 years. Many Americans still think that in China, everyone still wears blue and green clothes and still does not have enough food and clothing. This is a situation.
Such inertial thinking cannot be changed for a long time unless it is experienced and seen in person.
Recently, the patrol teams in the Wumu Sui Empire have been strengthened a lot. The superiors did not say anything to them to pay attention to. They only increased the number of patrol fleets and the frequency of patrols. This gave many patrol teams a sense of
It feels like a storm is coming. Could it be that other empires are joining forces to attack the Wumu Sui Empire?
Careful people think that not long ago, the empire sent out its only large fleet. It has been so long and there is no news that the fleet has returned. So, will the nationwide martial law be enforced this time?
Could it have something to do with the fact that the Grand Fleet did not come back?
But this kind of speculation is only spread among high-level military officials. Ordinary soldiers and low-level officers have no idea what's going on, let alone ordinary civilians.
Taigang Star is one of the capital stars of the Wumusui Empire, and it is also the political center of the Wumusui Empire. The other capital star, Gengqixing, is on the mainland border of the empire, and is the same as the old first-level empire Siam Puyue Empire.
Border. This is the newly established second capital, the economic capital, after the defeat of the Siam Puyue Empire in order to make up for the long distance between the empire itself and the Setian Empire and the inconvenience of trade exchanges.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the Taigang galaxy, there is a patrol team composed of more than a dozen small barrel aircraft that are routinely inspecting the warning points set up on the human planet. These warning points are equivalent to the eyes of the imperial border defense, in the vast starry sky.
.It is impossible to do anything without manpower. Only equipment and machines can work continuously and tirelessly day and night.
Mibupur was the captain of this patrol. He was comfortably putting his feet on the desk, closing his eyes and enjoying the massage given to him by the lower recruits. Suddenly, the ship's hull shook slightly. Mibubull felt it.
My heart skipped a beat.
"These bastards, how do I deal with them later? Damn, if you don't know how to operate it, don't mess around. The automatic cruise is set up well, is it just a few days away? Go back early and hurry up to reincarnate?" Mi Xiu
Bull stood up and didn't feel any vibration anymore. He lay down comfortably again, cursing.
He doesn't want to go back early. What's the benefit of going back early? As soon as he goes back, he will have to take on new tasks. Who knows where the new tasks will be sent? If he is sent to the second-level empire below, it will be okay, and he can still eat and drink.
It’s a way to make some money besides having fun. But if you are sent to a level 4 or 5 empire, you will simply be there to suffer.[
He has no one above him. He has no backing, no backing, and the possibility of being sent to a low-level empire is very high. Instead of going back and suffering, it is better to wander leisurely around the borders of the empire, at various warning points.
There is plenty of material available, and he can use it as he pleases. Although it is not as comfortable as the second- and third-level empires, it is still better than many lower-level empires, right?
The most important point is that he now has a patrol mission, which is basically as high as the mountain and the emperor is far away. As long as the patrol mission is not completed for one day, the superiors will not send new missions unless there is a war. But, is it possible? This is here
The Wumu Sui Empire's rear area is the rear area. If other empires want to attack, they will not come from this direction, so it is very safe.
"Boom~!" The aircraft vibrated again, this time it was not a small vibration, but a big one, which shook Mihobul so much that he slid to the ground, while his feet were still high on the table, which looked very...
It's so embarrassing.
"Grandma! What kind of bastard? When I was caught, I had to blow his anus several times! Do you really think I won't do anything to men? Don't worry, I will also take a photo of Lulu Niu!" Mi Xiu!
Bull was lying on the floor, cursing before he got up.
"Bang!" The door of the office was kicked open violently, and then an angry voice rang out: "Captain, it's not good, the communication system is paralyzed, the circuit is paralyzed, we may have hit a meteorite."
"Ah?! Not good! Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! We were sneak attacked! Quick, quick, run to inform everyone, prepare for battle, switch the entire ship system to manual!" Upon hearing that the communication system and circuits were paralyzed, Mihapur
His face turned pale. He hurriedly climbed up from the ground, pushed away the junior soldier who was trying to help him, staggered, and limped towards the control cabin. He had fallen so hard just now.
It was really serious. He felt severe pain in his pelvic area, but he couldn't care less about it at this time.
It is absolutely impossible to hit a meteorite. All aircrafts have automatic avoidance functions. They can detect large meteorites and calculate their trajectory before they hit, and then automatically change their course to avoid them. Only small meteorites will ignore them.
Let them collide.
Since it is impossible to collide with a large meteorite, it is impossible for the spacecraft to suffer such huge damage. A collision with a small meteorite will only make the surface of the spacecraft become uneven. The ultra-thick aircraft bulkhead can even cause the spacecraft to collapse.
After being hit by a meteorite with a diameter of about ten meters, you can still fly normally, but now you have to go back for repairs quickly, otherwise a second hit in the same area will really kill you.
.
As a captain, he is naturally not as knowledgeable as those rookies. Therefore, after hearing that two systems related to electricity were damaged, Milbure's first reaction was that he had encountered an enemy attack! There is no way that circuits are buried in the body of the spacecraft.
The watches are all arranged in the cabin. Damage to the circuits can only be the result of an attack, and it is also a plasma attack! Damn it! Damn it, this is obviously the rear area, how can there be enemies coming to attack us? Which empire is it?
The fleet has eaten the courage of the bear and the leopard?
As the flagship of a medium-sized patrol, the aircraft is the largest model among small barrels. It carries more than 100 people and more than 50 triangular aircraft. The hull is not very big, only more than 600 meters long.
, more than 100 meters wide. Fortunately, as the captain, his office is in the center of the hull, 300 meters to the bow and 300 meters to the stern.
If it were normal, it would only take Mihobul two minutes to walk briskly to reach the distance of three hundred meters. But now, dragging his hip bones that may have been broken, it only took him one minute to reach the control cabin.
, this speed is enough to participate in the Setian Empire's ten-year military games, and it is expected to win the ranking in the race walking event.
That's right, Milobul walked from his office to the control cabin using a very standard walking posture. Even the most discerning referee or the most sophisticated electronic monitoring system would never be able to find any foul actions on his part.
.It’s not standard. My crotch is injured and the pain is unbearable. It’s impossible to lift both feet off the ground at the same time. One foot must be supported at all times.
The control cabin, which was originally brightly lit, is now a dark mess. If it weren't for the light scattered by a few stars not far away shining into the cabin through the side, it would have been completely dark.
The cabin was already in chaos. The communication soldiers were busy switching manual controls. The maintenance soldiers were anxiously touching here and there, trying to find the fault. The observation soldiers were lying on the side one by one.
Looking outside, electronic communications were damaged, and any electronic equipment, including detection equipment, could not be used. They could only rely on their naked eyes to observe the situation outside, hoping to find out what the hell caused the damage to the spacecraft.
"Start the backup power supply, start the backup system!" Milobul, who rushed to the control cabin, yelled angrily, "Where are your usual trainings? You usually have decent training, but now it's time to use it, all of it is thrown away
