Humanity’s space immigration plan at the end of the 22nd century benefited from the breakthrough of the physical limitations of wormhole crossing at that time, that is, in principle, when any energy greater than zero passes through a wormhole, the wormhole will immediately collapse. However, scientists at the time suddenly discovered that Hawking
A kind of tachyon particle with negative energy was discovered in the radiation. By filling a large amount of this material into the wormhole, a protective layer was formed. In this way, human spaceships can make infinite time and space into the sea and carry out long-distance interstellar journeys.[

Today, 500 years later, the methods of interstellar travel by spacecraft have become diverse. In addition to the earliest wormhole travel, there is also high-energy time and space travel. The physical principles of which are extremely complex and can be roughly explained as the use of extremely high-energy energy to make
The spacecraft breaks through the "molecular resistance", making it fully compatible with the space-time of the destination, and "drags" the entire space-time to the destination. This is the most common way of space-time leap. The last one is to knock on the special energy field at the edge of the star.
Shooting out the artificial "star gate" is the rarest and most energy-saving way to travel through time and space. Usually, a fleet has to use a mixture of methods to reach the extreme depths of the universe.
The space battleship group is extremely large, with small formations stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and even large fleets stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, but compared to infinite time and space, they are only a drop in the ocean.
For the tiny human battleship formation, the universe is almost empty and can be traversed in a straight line. However, there are a large number of space-time distortion and disorder areas in the universe, as well as areas with abnormal celestial energy that can prevent the spacecraft from breaking through "molecular resistance" or cause
The opposite effect is just like the ocean currents and wind directions in the Age of Discovery of Ancient Earth that had a huge impact on sailing time.
The darkness of the universe is a sign that mankind is embarking on an interstellar journey that is more arduous and arduous than the Age of Discovery.
Plato's star is 6,200 light-years away from 166P, and an elite fleet of the White Tiger Knights is sailing rapidly in the darkness.
"We will arrive at the scheduled D3495 area in 5 minutes." A young navigator reported.
"This time we have the upper hand. The sudden space-time turbulence at the edge of the Themis galaxy helped us, shortening the time-space jump by 50 hours." Captain Ila looked at the various images on the huge three-dimensional display in the flagship center. It only took the White Tiger Knights fleet 18 days to reach 166P, which was shorter than the usual sailing time of the closer Gaia fleet.
"Smooth sailing is a sign of victory." A combat staff officer of the regiment leader said optimistically, "The Seventh Fleet 'Nimrud' lost three frigates on its way out and was delayed for several days."
Half a year ago, a squadron of Plato's Seventh Fleet "Nimrud" attacked 166P, but was unlucky. The flagship was severely damaged in the first battle, so that its morale was depressed and it could not be attacked for a long time.
After receiving a request for reinforcements, Messier, Gaia's nearest large base, quickly dispatched a fleet to come to the rescue. In the end, the "Nimrud" squadron had no choice but to return in defeat when faced with attacks from two sides.
"Don't take it lightly." Ila still looked very serious, "Start entering the battle program."
On the huge flagship "Varuna", there was a calm before the war.
Kalki opened his blue eyes and got up from the egg-shaped sleeping bed where he would rest before every battle.
This special sleeping bed can provide warriors with extremely high-quality intensive sleep. The deep sleep as if in the mother's womb can make combatants energetic. Interstellar voyages of thousands of light years often require more than a dozen times, or even several times.
Ten times of time travel will cause the human body to feel extremely tired.
The weak race of human beings was not designed for the long interstellar journey. Time travel will cause instantaneous changes in the structure of atoms. Experiencers believe that the human body feels like a 3D body being instantly compressed into a 2D form, so it is extremely challenging for the human body.<
/p>
Therefore, in the early days of the space war, fleet personnel on both sides had a high mortality rate after long time and space travel. Special voyage sleep became the best way to reduce physical and mental wear and tear. Both armies were equipped with a large number of interstellar sleep machines to maintain
Optimum physical condition.
Deep sleep is suddenly cut off and combat mode is turned on.
Before each battle, the grand leader will take a bath and cleanse. This is a requirement of Yuanjiao teachings. Believers need to keep their body and mind clean. A beautiful and clean human body is a gift from God. This is exactly the same as primitive Christianity's view of the human body as dirty and evil.
The opposite is true.
The bathroom on the flagship "Varuna" is a typical shipboard bathroom. It is closed like an upper and lower transparent capsule. Purified water containing special minerals will flow directly into the shower user's body from all directions, which can be thoroughly cleaned and cleaned within one minute.
Dry your body.
Then, these delicate water nozzles will instantly spray out special silk cocoon-like materials, forming a battle suit that will directly wrap his naked body.
When Kalki walked out, he looked energetic with shining fluffy blond hair hanging around his shoulders. The shape-fitting deformed fighter combat uniform made his body shape with broad shoulders and thin waist more prominent. Kalki's commander was impressively handsome.
Anyone can feel it intuitively.
Afterwards, Kalki sat down and asked a waiter, Daksha, to comb his hair into a bun. This was a ritual.
Daksha was an ingenious boy in everything and was very skilled in gestures. Kalki closed his eyes and put himself into a fighting state, praying in his heart to the Supreme God to grant him victory and avoid the shame of the Seventh Fleet from happening to him. As his heart became quieter and quieter, he soon thought of nothing else.
"Calling all combatants to celebrate mass!" the grand leader calmly ordered.
What’s interesting about Plato’s military system is that not only did it tenaciously retain mankind’s oldest feudal military system in the space age, it also retained the ritualized collective pre-war prayer ceremony.
There is a prayer room on the flagship "Varuna". Although it is not as grand as the large prayer hall in Bukhara, it is considered large and luxurious for the space of a warship.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
One of them is as white and transparent as heaven. Kalki and his 12 armed retinues, as well as several staff officers and attendants, gathered in a circle. There were other knights in the circle in the white hall.
Under the auspices of the chief, he knelt on one knee and prayed silently.
"The light of rotation will be with you forever." The priest said solemnly, which is the customary phrase at the end of prayer.
"Ami." The knights bowed their heads in response to the concluding remarks, and then stood up one after another.
The priest operated on the touch screen and entered the most important part of the mass.
In front of each knight's right hand, "Amilido" appeared through energy transmission, which is the "nectar" in Sanskrit that can make the gods immortal.
Hundreds of years ago, "nectar" was just a life-energy sustaining drug that Yuan believers who did not even eat milk and eggs gathered together to drink, but now it has become a mental stability control drug that is loyal to the Yuan Church. Everyone has held a confirmation ceremony
All Platonists were required to drink it in public during weekly mass.
The "nectar" before the battle is bright red, as red as human blood.
Chalki raised his head and drank the "nectar" in one gulp, and all the knights present did the same.
With a brotherly feeling surging in his chest, the Grand Commander took the lead and hugged each other with his subordinates, who were also his friends. They would support each other and sacrifice each other in the battle.
"Let's go!" Kalki firmly gave the order to attack.
War is a religious sacrifice of life to him, and he strictly follows the most beautiful rituals to execute it.
The White Tiger Knights launched a lightning-fast raid on Gaia's 166P base.
This is a beautiful tactic developed by Kalki. He takes advantage of the characteristics of transforming fighter planes that can accurately perform time and space jumps, and directly leads 2,000 White Tiger fighter planes through the "wormhole" to a distance of less than 1 million kilometers from the 166P base. In the era of space war,
It is equivalent to two people passing each other accurately.
The fleet led by the huge "Varuna" was left far outside the detection range of the Gaia base's space radar system. The grand leader used the lightning speed of the deformed fighter fleet to attack the base, and
It does not approach slowly like the ordinary Plato fleet, giving the enemy time to respond.
At this time, it is equivalent to the rest time of Gaia people at three o'clock in the morning.
Before the defenders of the 166P base could react, the first wave of fighter jets poured powerful laser missiles at the base, followed by the second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave... Its speed was so fast that the defenders were stunned.
Unable to react at the moment, this is a typical Kalki-style attack, secretive, sudden, and extremely violent.
Because no one is better at unit energy consumption when using weapons, Commander Baihu is known as the "Energy-consuming Master" in the Plato Army. However, this combat method of concentrating the maximum potential energy in the smallest space is indeed effective.
No one in Plato's army could match Chalki's achievements.
The interior of the 166P base defenses was filled with crazy buzzing sirens.
"Damn Plato people, they actually sneak attacks insidiously!"
The base commander, Major General Sanchez, is a man of South American descent with black ancestry. His rough face was distorted and he cursed while leading a group of subordinates to the base command room through the emergency rapid transmission channel.
"No, this is a frontal attack. We were attacked by Plato's elite troops."
One of his men immediately corrected the major general.
There was a loud roar around them, the earth shook, and the world seemed to be torn apart.
When base commanders gathered to design a solid command post, the intelligent command system already made various analyzes through space radar.
"White Tiger Knights!"
"Oops!"
"More than 25% of the fortified area has been destroyed!"
Major General Sanchez's dark face was dripping with cold sweat. He was originally an experienced, calm and capable commander.
"Our space fighter group and base fleet have taken off to meet the enemy as soon as possible, and they are fighting hard..." Brigadier General Zheng, chief of staff of the 166P base, reported with a slightly trembling voice.
"However, our eight space battleships, the most powerful cannon fodder, sailed to Messier Base a week ago for renovation and repair..."
If he had heard this bad news in the past, the grumpy commander would have cursed a lot mixed with swear words, but now he is surprisingly quiet.
"Messier is our only hope, the distress message has been sent." said a communications personnel.
Messier is the main base of the Centaur M17 rich mining area, which is used to protect the mining area of the asteroid belt from being plundered by the Plato fleet. Messier is a huge asteroid base with complete facilities and institutions.
It's like a city. There is a huge military industrial base that can maintain giant ships, while small bases like 166P can only provide simple daily maintenance.
"We have to guard it for at least 24 hours..." A young staff officer had a look of despair on his pale face.
All commanders gathered around the round-table 3D quantum projection display to watch the dynamics of the battlefield.
The simulated three-dimensional image shows that the Gaian fighter planes and fleet fell apart like melting spring snow under the attack of Plato's most elite White Tiger Knights.
Rear Admiral Sanchez stared hard with his bloodshot eyes - Gaia drones and planes were turned into cosmic dust in the explosion, and a battleship was hit by more than a dozen laser missiles at the same time under siege by a group of Plato fighter jets.
It instantly broke into three pieces, shattering like a huge suspended coffin.
In just thirty minutes, the 166P base fleet was almost completely wiped out.
The air supremacy has been handed over to others, and good luck did not favor the Gaians this time.
"The army was defeated like a mountain..." Brigadier General Zheng, chief of staff of the base, was almost speechless.
At this time, the ground inside the headquarters was shaking like a mountain, and the Platos began to violently bombard the ground fortifications of the base, almost plowing the ground in a linear manner, and accurately attacking the ground resistance.
"We must go to the underground headquarters immediately, the enemy is about to land."
"Hurry up, or it will be too late!"
Everyone is shouting. The young staff officers are busy programming to enter the self-destruction program, so that even if the enemy lands, they will not be able to get all kinds of information.
"We'd better...leave..."
After the major general finished speaking, the entire chaotic headquarters staff who were preparing to move slowly stopped, and suddenly there was a deathly silence.
"What? Please speak clearly." an artillery colonel asked.
"It's not worth fighting hard. We won't be able to hold out for more than an hour and we will all be annihilated." The bloodshot eyes of Major General Sanchez have burst into red, "Let's evacuate the base."
"This is an escape!" someone said.
"How can we just run away? The ground troops can still hold off for at least 5 hours..."
"We will be court-martialed."
There were a lot of protests.
"During the three years when I was the commander of the base at 166P, I secretly shared part of the profits with the mining representative Mr. White, transported them to other planets through interstellar pirates, and sold the raw ore of water concentrate... I have accumulated wealth that is as rich as any country..." "Chief of Staff Zheng is also aware of this matter. He is also involved in this matter as my friend..."
Everyone turned to look at Chief of Staff Zheng. Everyone thought that he was very upright and honest.
At this time, General Zheng's round face turned red and white, and his lips wanted to tremble, but he could not speak.
"I am really sorry that I confessed this to everyone today. I have to save my life and enjoy the rest of my life, and I will ensure that you will not be punished by a military court. I guarantee this with my personality." p>
"Everyone think about it, is it worth it for a family in Mangxing City to work for this mining and military-industrial complex?"
Everyone present was as stunned as a statue, with expressions of disbelief and ruined views.
Until two seconds later, a "Wotan-class" laser missile hit the command post. Although the base fortifications were extremely strong, everyone was shaken to and fro, as if their world collapsed instantly and they were unable to stand on this solid ground.
