Morris Military Port is the largest and most modern star-shaped military port in the Airanshir Empire at this stage. A violent level 2 space cruiser can be built here every day, and there are also giant shipyards building even more powerful Titan level 2 space aircraft carriers.
At the same time, this is also the largest intelligence gathering center for the Airanhill Empire's Space Force, and it is also the core talent training base for the Space Force.
There are nearly 80,000 people working in the entire base, and another 30,000 people are receiving training. It is extremely busy here every day, and everyone is constantly running around.
Within the Space Army's staff headquarters, Imperial Chief of General Staff Luo Kai stood beside Commander-in-Chief Merian of Morris Military Port, looking down at the universe star map in front of him.
The Airansil Empire is building 40 powerful telescopes in an attempt to monitor the space areas close to the Airansil Empire.
However, such a surveillance system is a huge project, and the 20 telescopes currently in use can only monitor about 7% to 12% of the empire's extraterritorial space.
In the direction of surveillance, these telescopes can provide about two to three months of early warning for the Elanshir Empire. This time is theoretically very sufficient.
However, in the face of the vast universe, this level of early warning range is really uneasy.
Luo Kai stared at the detection area marked on the map and complained to Merian beside him: "We can only focus on monitoring the universe near the Higgs area, which is really insufficient for the security of the empire.
."
"There is no way. The large telescope we built will also take time to monitor the universe far enough." General Merian shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly.
In fact, for the Airansil Empire, building facilities such as radio frequency telescopes is the most useless - in the past four years, the rate of territorial expansion of the Airansil Empire has made astronomical observation a joke.
Many astronomical observation equipment have just confirmed the distribution of planets in a galaxy, and explorers from the Airanshir Empire have arrived there in spaceships and brought back land samples.
"Has there been any feedback from the unmanned reconnaissance spacecraft sent out?" Luo Kai continued to ask General Merian, who was in charge of this type of work.
Hearing this question, General Merian continued to answer dumbfounded: "This is also a headache."
"In order to reduce losses, we are using the cheapest technology, and at the same time, we have adopted unmanned spacecraft technology on a large scale for the first time." General Merian explained: "You know this."
"Yes, I know this." Luo Kai nodded. He did know about this investigation plan. This investigation plan is part of the early warning system.
As a general of the elves, Master Merian has always been diligent and hardworking in his work on the star ring, and his work has achieved remarkable results.
At this moment, this general with pointed ears, a tall figure and a handsome face gestured on the three-dimensional map of the universe and continued: "You know, since the empire entered the interstellar exploration stage, the map is no longer a flat surface.
."
"The territory of our interstellar empire is three-dimensional, and there is a huge presence in the vast space." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the map, marking a striking spot: "The enemy who claims to be the Watcher
The last invasion was in the Higgs 5 area! Here!"
"It's different from the past. If it's a plane, where the enemy attacks, the direction of the attack can be roughly determined... But now this common sense has changed. The enemy's attack direction probably... includes these universes!" He said, On one side, a large area of space was drawn on the three-dimensional map.
Compared with the current territory of the Airanhir Empire, the direction in which the enemy may invade is actually larger.
"So, we can only send as many reconnaissance aircraft as possible to try to cover such a huge space... You know, this is almost impossible to do." Merian explained.
Luo Kai sighed. He also knew that trying to discover the enemy's traces in advance in the vast universe was not an easy task.
To use the so-called "finding a needle in a haystack" to describe this work is even a bit too optimistic. In fact, they are almost looking for a bacterium in the sea with a name engraved on its cell nucleus...
"We have manufactured and launched 3,100 unmanned detection spacecraft, trying to determine the direction of the enemy's attack in advance." Merian clicked on some light spot signals on the map and introduced: "But during the actual operation , there are so many problems that I think we should give up such naive ideas.”
"What?" Luo Kai knew about this plan, and also knew that the plan seemed to be not going smoothly. The actual purpose of coming here today was to discuss whether it was still necessary to continue with this plan.
"Many unmanned exploration spacecraft lost contact due to various malfunctions during their missions..." General Merian explained.
"I understand." Luo Kai said clearly. He also wanted to understand that such a reconnaissance spacecraft that never returns would only make the information fed back by the reconnaissance spacecraft sensitive and irregular.
A lost spacecraft that has no feedback signal is most likely to have been intercepted or attacked by a watcher, or it may just be paralyzed due to a malfunction.
In order to figure out the real reason why these missing spacecraft lost contact, it is necessary to send spacecraft to the relevant areas again for verification.
Doing so is almost a waste of time and energy, and almost no effective information will be obtained.
"So after we launched 3,100 unmanned detection spacecraft, we are ready to abandon this reconnaissance and early warning plan." General Merian said.
"I agree with your idea. If you continue to waste these spacecrafts, it will be a waste of precious time." There are some logic problems in Luo Kai's words, but everyone can hear that he does not agree to continue to launch reconnaissance spacecrafts. .
…
On the planet Higgs 4, a series of dense footsteps sounded in the corridor leading from the underground bunker to the headquarters. A little girl wearing a white special military uniform and surrounded by some officers walked into the room that had been decorated. Proper command.
Network cables have been laid out here, and a large number of computers have been installed. There are huge maps hanging on the walls, and the whole room is brightly lit, making it impossible to tell that it is more than 60 meters underground.
"Stand at attention!" All the commanders waiting at the headquarters raised their chins and saluted the red-haired girl who walked into the hall: "Long live the Empire of Eilandhill!"
"Long live the Empire of Eilandhill!" the little girl replied in a clear childish voice, signaling for everyone to bow.
She walked to the center of the room in a decent manner and said in a childish voice: "I am here to inspect the war readiness situation on behalf of my father...I would like to thank you all for your sacrifices and efforts for the empire over the years."
"Now I invite my teacher to read out my father's edict to encourage the soldiers on my behalf." After saying that, she gave up her seat and stood aside honestly.
As a new life formed by the condensation of magic, the imperial princess Ellenhill Grace is actually only six years old. However, she is in the royal family and has received the most orthodox royal education. She is already smart enough to perform on such occasions.
Very decent.
She knows that at this time, she only needs to memorize the simple speech prepared by the teacher before, and then stand aside without saying a word. Sometimes, it is wisest and most appropriate not to speak randomly.
choice.
It has to be said that, like her mother, the eldest daughter of the emperor with long red hair appears at the front line where a battle may break out at this time, which is very effective in boosting morale.
It can be heard from the chants raised three times by the officers in the headquarters that they are really willing to fight to the last minute to protect such a lovely girl.
As a magical creation, although Grace is only six years old, her appearance is already outstanding and she is extremely cute.
Those big eyes that everyone loves, and the long eyelashes that flicker when they blink, they can definitely make a group of protective and protective Elanshir Empire military men look cute.
A big boss of the Imperial Military held His Majesty the Emperor's edict and read it aloud in a solemn tone. After everyone saluted and sang together again, they shouted the slogan "Long live His Majesty the Emperor."
Then, the little lolita representing the royal family walked up to the officers who held their heads high, held their hands, and thanked them softly: "Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the peace of the empire!"
"I am terrified!" the officer replied flattered.
Immediately afterwards, Grace walked up to the next officer, took the other officer's hand and thanked him softly: "Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the peace of the empire!"
"This is what I should do!" the officer replied solemnly.
In this way, Grace walked up to the officers one after another and thanked them in a childish voice for their brave defense of the border.
And every officer solemnly responded to Grace's thanks with their chin held high - they did not fool around because Grace was only six years old, but were careful when replying.
The next day, the Scarlet Sacred, aboard the Emperor of the Empire of Airansil, arrived at the outer orbit of Higgs 5.
By the time Chris returned to Ailansiris again, it was already six months later. He inspected the defense deployment of several key defense areas in the border area and visited a fleet exercise.
By the time he returned to Ailan Siris, the population migration in the Cave Heaven Paradise where the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect had surrendered was nearing completion.
The civilians of the first few worlds to start migrating have basically arrived at their migration destinations. Those planets that have been almost completely deserted only have a few puppet robots who are responsible for the finishing work.
Half a year later, in Cangyun Prefecture, in a small town that had long been abandoned, Qian Tong sat dejectedly on a chair, looking boredly at the sky outside the window. He had become accustomed to the silence around him.
Cangyun Prefecture, which originally had a population of at least 2 billion, now has basically no living people.
Not to mention living people, even Qian Tong's current desire to find a few puppet battle robots has become a luxury.
In fact, except for the fact that there are some Elanshir Empire troops guarding the area near Cambridge, and migrant civilians are still waiting to arrive one after another, it is now difficult to find traces of people in other places.
In the already dilapidated city, there are still some old people who cannot leave their hometown, staggering on the streets littered with debris.
For Qian Tong, who has never seen or imagined the end of the world, this is already the most terrifying ending.
Without people, there is no power - Qian Tong only has dozens of confidants left around him now. Even if he has been appointed by the Supreme Elder as the new chief elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, only those who can command him move.
There are dozens of people.
He and his henchmen had to hide before, but two months ago they discovered that no search team had appeared.
They can walk swaggeringly in the already empty city and stare blankly at the moldy grain in the warehouse.
In short, no one cares about their existence for a long time - the teams that seem to be searching for them are actually mainly looking for local civilians who have fallen behind and lost their way. Qian Tong and others are just being sentimental...
"It's not good! It's not good! Something bad is going to happen!" At this time, a swordsman ran in in a panic and shouted loudly to Qian Tong, who had been hiding for several months.
"What else could go wrong... Why, we were discovered? The enemy surrounded us?" Qian Tong snorted disdainfully and asked in a long voice.
For him now, he really has a little expectation in his heart. He is looking forward to people like him being discovered by the Elanthir Empire and then having a vigorous fight.
He watched Cangyun Prefecture turn into a wasteland, watched his power collapse and then disappear...
The swordsman pointed out the window in a panic and stammered: "Big, big, great elder! That, that...sword, Cambridge...Cambridge is gone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What's Cambridge? What's missing?" Qian Tong didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at first. He muttered subconsciously before he realized what was happening.
In an instant, he jumped up from the table, twisted his fat body, ran into the yard, and looked at the light beam bursting out from the space teleportation magic on the other side of the horizon.
What shocked him was that he could not find the light pillar. The light pillar that he had become accustomed to seemed to have disappeared!
"Where's Cambridge? Where's that Cambridge? Where's it?" Qian Tong turned around like crazy and asked with gnashing teeth in hatred.
It's a pity that no one can answer his question - because when the Eilanhill Empire destroys these Cambridges connecting the Cave Heaven and Paradise, no one will be notified!
After confirming that there was not much remaining population in the area, the Eilanhill Empire finally chose to close the portal connecting Cangyun State as soon as possible.
