Year 97 of the Federation Calendar, Milky Way, Arm of Orion, Capital Region of the Babavi Empire.
It has been more than a year and three months since Barbarea signed the imperial mobilization order.
At this moment, this place is no longer as prosperous as usual. There are no longer a large number of merchant fleets coming and going. Instead, warships can be seen everywhere, and the entire capital area has a solemn look.
In just over a year, the empire was at full power and produced 12 million main warships. At the same time, the number of warships drawn from various strongholds also reached 15 million.
Not only that, under the orders of Babatena, a total of 50 million spaceships of various types were recruited throughout the empire. These spaceships were of many types, including merchant ships, transport ships, sightseeing ships, etc.
But now, they only have one name, fire support ship!
This is also the method that Babatena came up with under the last resort. He recruited all the spaceships in the empire that were above medium size and had the potential to be modified, and directly carried out simple and crude modifications on them!
What is a simple and crude modification?
Spaceships with a shell thickness of more than 5 meters are equipped with battleship main guns, while spaceships with a shell thickness of more than 3 meters and less than 5 meters are equipped with battleship secondary guns. As for spaceships below 3 meters, their small bodies cannot withstand it.
Battleship guns have absolutely no potential for modification.
Therefore, in just one year, the Babavi Empire completed the transformation process of these fire support ships.
However, when these 50 million fire support ships were arrayed in the void of the capital area, even the initiator of this plan, Babatena, could only see the corner of his mouth twitching.
It's really weird. The entire fleet is filled with spaceships of various sizes and twists and turns. You can even count thousands of models of spaceships in the entire fleet!
To be honest, if he had no other choice, Babatena would never want to come up with such a weird thing. Although the name is very domineering, the fire support ship is actually a kind of armed merchant ship, and it is not a professional armed merchant ship.
However, with 27 million main battleships and 50 million fire support ships in hand, Babatena can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In his opinion, although these forces cannot defeat and eliminate the mysterious opponent, they can temporarily free themselves.
It should be ok to keep it safe.
What's more? The Star Path destruction operation he personally led for more than a year has been verified in many aspects. It can also be said to be quite successful. The opponent should not be able to reach the main arm in a short period of time.
Unless the opponent risks the entire army being annihilated? Take a detour and advance through the void area outside the spiral arm? But that is obviously impossible!
Even fifth-level civilizations don’t have the guts to run into the void area. This is why the civilizations on the four main spiral arms don’t directly cross the spiral arms when going to other spiral arms? What if they have to go to the center of the galaxy first?
The reason for the heart channel.
In the Milky Way? All stars are concentrated in the four main spiral arms and several branches. In fact, these areas only account for a small part of the Milky Way, while the rest are starless and completely dark.
Area of nothingness.
Within the void area? The space is extremely unstable and it is impossible to make a jump flight at all? If you force a jump, it depends on your luck? If you are lucky, of course you can reach your destination safely.
But? The probability of this good luck is only about 0.1%.
Therefore? Under the fifth-level peak civilization, absolutely no civilization dares to directly cross the void area. As for the fifth-level peak civilization, it can use space transmission technology to cross this area.
However, in the recorded history of the Milky Way, the strongest civilization that has ever appeared is the mid-level fifth-level civilization. It is precisely because of this that no one in the galaxy knows what technologies the late-level fifth and peak civilizations have. Of course
, except Lin Fan!
Therefore, Babatena is very relieved about this, but he actually hopes that his opponent will try his luck in the void area!
But what he didn't know was that space teleportation technology had been researched by the Federation in advance!
Moreover, with this technology, there is no need to detour to the void zone at all, and you can directly pass through the current abnormal area without being affected, that is, the area filled with zero-point particles after the Star Road was destroyed.
At this moment, in a void in the capital area, the space suddenly became a little blurry, and this abnormal space showed a circle with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers.
Since the Babavi Empire did not have any technology to detect space channels, this situation was not noticed by anyone.
Until five objects flew out of this abnormal space. These five objects were not big, only about the size of a shuttle ship. Except for two conspicuous engines on the back, there was nothing else on their surface.
, looks like a cylindrical civilian spacecraft.
When they flew out of the space channel, they started their engines and flew slowly towards the capital area where the Babavi Empire fleet was gathering.
Although the Babavi Empire did not have the technology to detect space passages, under its large and tight surveillance network in the capital area, these five weird aircraft were discovered immediately.
Today, the Babavi Empire is under first-level alert. Five strange spaceships of unknown origin immediately caused alarms to sound loudly in the fortress command center.
"what's the situation?"
Soon, Babatena walked into the command center with his adjutant and asked loudly.
"General Marshal Babatena, we just discovered five unknown objects that suddenly appeared in the capital area, and no jump phenomenon was detected!"
While reporting, the enemy officer opened an image, and in the image was one of the five unknown objects.
Babatena looked at the nameless object in the image and frowned.
What is this? A civilian spaceship?
However, the enemy officer just said that the opponent appeared suddenly and no jump phenomenon was detected!
And the way to the stars is simply impossible. The Imperial fleet is firmly guarding it, and no one can sneak in unknowingly!
So, how did the other party come?
"Have you called the other party?"
"Yes, Marshal Babatena, we have been calling, but the other party has no response at all!"
"Can you scan the other party's results?"
"Okay, it's already underway, and the results should be available soon!"
A few seconds later, the scan results came out, but Babatena's brows furrowed even more!
What the hell is this?
According to the scan results, the structure of this thing is countless times simpler than that of a civilian spacecraft.
There are no weapons, the whole ship only has two sets of engines and one energy reactor, and the materials used in the whole ship are quite ordinary, and the fleet has not found any dangerous substances.
In addition, what is even more bizarre is that according to scans, 70% of the area in this strange spacecraft is used to place the jump engine.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are actually ten jump engines installed in this weird spacecraft!
