In the year 93 of the Federation calendar, more than a year has passed since the first-generation Stargate passed the test at Shanhaiguan.
The so-called stargate is also the gate to space.
Back then, after the successful test of the Shanhaiguan Space Gate, it was immediately reported to the Federal Presidential Palace.
After Lin Zhen learned about the first-generation space gate, he immediately formulated a new fast-pass network system, but when naming the plan, Lin Zhen ran into some trouble.
The Gate of Space? The Gate of Space for short? Then this new interstellar communication network system is called the Gate of Space System?
No matter how you pronounce it, it’s weird. Even if it’s not abbreviated, just call it the Space Gate Network System. It’s weird, isn’t it?
But Lin Zhen didn't think about it for much time and just waved his hand and changed his name!
Yes, from this moment on, the Space Gate was officially named the Star Gate by the Federation, or Star Gate for short, and this new fast-passage system that will be spread throughout the entire Federation territory is called the Star Gate System.
For this reason, it is said that Bai Zixuan scolded Lin Zhen through communication for several hours!
Regardless of the process of the name dispute, in the end, this new device was still officially named "Stargate".
As for the so-called stargate system, it was proposed by Lin Zhen to install a stargate and auxiliary gates in every major city on all planets of the Federation.
These copies will be numbered, galaxy number - star field number - star system number - planet number.
For example, if you want to go to Shanhaiguan on Earth and Jiuzhou City on Virras, you only need to enter 001 (Milky Way) 00129 (Shanhaiguan Star Region) 001 (Virlas) in a main gate control system on Earth.
003 (Jiuzhou City). Then, the main gate of the Stargate will be activated and the corresponding copy will be immediately locked based on the destination number you entered.
It's a bit like the telephone system from the old days!
Soon, this plan received unanimous support from the entire federal leadership and was quickly implemented.
Now, more than a year has passed, and the Stargate and the deployment within the federal territory have been completely completed. As for the deployment outside the federation, it is not considered for the time being.
In the past, when there was no Stargate network, it would take about three months for a person to travel from Earth to Shanhaiguan.
And now, it only takes 7 minutes!
All that needs to be paid is the corresponding energy cost. Many companies have even purchased the main gate and auxiliary gate of the star gate directly from the Federation and set them up in branches on different planets specifically for transportation.
It saves time and effort. As for the energy consumed, although it is indeed a bit much, it is still more cost-effective than sending a bunch of transport ships and personnel across thousands or even thousands of light years.
In this way, human life has been refreshed once again. The distance between planets is no longer an obstacle. Let alone planets, even the distance between star fields is no longer an obstacle.
Just like the advertisement shot by the Federation for the Stargate Network, what are the lines in it?
No matter how far the distance is, I only need seven minutes!
The emergence of Stargate has also led to the explosive development of an industry!
That is the interstellar tourism industry. Although interstellar tourism originally developed well, it was limited by distance and speed, and it only developed well in densely populated star areas.
As for remote star fields...who wants to spend a few years on the road, then play for a few days, and then spend a few years returning?
No more work?
Well, even if you really don't have to work, you wouldn't be willing to spend several years traveling back and forth just to go to a certain planet for a few days, right?
However, the emergence of the Star Gate changed everything.
Planets that were originally remote and deserted suddenly became popular. Planets thousands or even thousands of light years away from the Federation welcomed a large number of tourists and instantly transformed into tourist attractions.
Under this circumstance, the local area developed immediately, and it was no longer as deserted as before, but became a bustling scene.
At the same time, more people are willing to immigrate to remote star areas.
In their words, distance is not a problem, the only problem is how the planet's environment is?
Just when human life was drastically changed due to the emergence of the Stargate.
On the fourth main spiral arm of the Milky Way, war broke out again.
After a year, the 230 billion coalition forces of Vera and Xio have passed through the Galactic Channel and arrived in front of the Freedom Alliance defense line on the fourth spiral arm of the channel.
Of course, for more than a year, Moros was not just waiting to die. As early as a year ago, after the expeditionary force broke the Thatchers defense line, he issued a general mobilization order for the entire alliance!
Nowadays, a fleet of 100 billion has been organized to guard the defense line of the galactic channel.
In the short term, the Free Alliance will not be able to quickly build more fleets. After all, all the 100 billion warships have been prepared. Even if they recruit a large number of personnel, there will not be enough warships for them to use.
Although the manufacturing industry of the Free Alliance is definitely several orders of magnitude higher than that of the Human Federation, you cannot withstand hundreds of billions of battleship masters, and the resulting battle damage is in the hundreds of millions.
It's useless even if the Free Alliance can build thousands of warships every day.
In this battle for the defense line of the Galactic Channel, in half a year, the newly organized army of the Freedom Alliance has lost more than 20 billion!
On the one hand, Xio and Vera have much more troops than the Free Alliance, and the combat power ratio between the two sides directly exceeds 1:2.
On the other hand, in the Freedom Alliance, most of the soldiers who were organized due to mobilization orders were soldiers without any battlefield experience and had not received a few days of training.
His fighting literacy is poor, and his fighting will is even more horribly low. Compared with the coalition forces of Vera and Theo, who have just come off the Thatchers defense line, they are far behind.
Now, the offensive and defensive battle here has been going on for half a year, and at this moment, the Freedom Alliance seems to be somewhat unable to do what it wants.
Finally, at the end of the Federation in 1993, the coalition forces of Vera and Xio seized the opportunity and tore open the Freedom Alliance's defense line in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander on the defense line decisively issued a retreat order, requiring all warships to immediately leave the defense line and retreat to the second line of defense to continue sniping.
However, the commander himself brought 5 billion warships to stay behind. These desperate fleets also caused a lot of trouble to the coalition forces.
In the end, it took three full days to completely wipe out the remaining battleships. However, by this time, the best opportunity for pursuit had been lost.
A total of 70 billion Free Alliance warships successfully evacuated from the defense line of the Galactic Channel.
