Global Travel: Empire of Stars

At the same time, a giant world engine with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers was launched directly into deep space by Lin Zhichen. A star gate with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers unfolded, connected to the super star gate system of the Milky Way, and a huge imperial fleet poured out like a school of fish. , quickly launched a combat formation in deep space.

The emperor of the empire issued an edict, and the power of the entire country and even the galaxy was mobilized. All departments worked together, and the military led the rapid preparation of a deep space expedition plan. The initial 10 billion standing fleet was mobilized and went directly to deep space through the star gate to prepare. Engage with the approaching NPC fleet in deep space.

After long-term observation, the imperial military has realized that the refresh time of the deep space fleet is far lower than even the high frequency inside the Milky Way, and it is also in deep space far away from the large river system. The lower the refresh frequency, the refresh time is about 3,000 light years away from the Milky Way. The time of"June 43" has been extended to more than one year.

It is precisely for this reason that although the deep space fleet is huge and easily worth tens of billions, Lin Zhichen is still confident that he can pave a way with communication beacons!

It took the transferred fleet three months to complete its migration of tens of thousands of light years. It changed formations in deep space, formed a combat formation, and quickly faced the rapidly approaching alien fleet.

In order to reduce losses as much as possible, they will cooperate with the Kingdom of God fleet to launch an attack. At the same time, the 20,000 meteorite-class planetary Titans that have been mobilized will also take the opportunity to enter the field and disrupt the formation of the deep space fleet.

While fighting, they laid beacons toward the deep space, rapidly extending from a thousand light-years to a position of 5,000 light-years.

At this time, Lin Zhichen finally stopped because he saw a special NPC force

"This deep space NPC fleet actually has a planetary battle fortress!"He looked at a corner of the deep space in amazement. A huge NPC fleet surrounded a giant battle fortress, like a wandering NPC force, sailing in the vacuum at sub-light speed. The planetary battle fort is similar to a battle star, but However, it does not have the hyperspace jump ability of the Battle Star. Under normal circumstances, it can only move within the star system and is usually used as a defensive fortress.

Compared with the Battle Star, its cost is relatively low and its technology is simple. It is an upgraded version of the Sky Castle. , capable of guarding the star field for hundreds of thousands of light-years as a super-civilization fortress.

The reason why Lin Zhichen can tell that it is a planetary battle fortress rather than a battle star is because this huge fortress with a diameter of more than 150,000 kilometers is in the past. Moving towards the location of the communication beacon at sub-light speed, at the current speed, it may take hundreds of years to reach the combat area.

This ridiculous scene made Lin Zhichen couldn't help but carefully observe this deep space fleet and its unique warship appearance. The design proves that this force does not belong to any civilization in the galaxy now or in the past, especially the heavy armor of the ship, the relatively slow speed, and the appalling flexibility. It can be seen from every detail that this has never been seen before. A special fleet that pushes armor and vitality to the limit, but puts flexibility and speed behind.

This is a defensive civilization, which can be seen from the design of their battleships. Almost every battleship is a A mobile fortress, a fleet deployed, is equivalent to building a tower defense position in the starry sky.

This kind of civilization is good at defense but not good at offense. After just thinking about it for a moment, he found that this type of civilization has Advantages of the Dark Ages.

Strong defense means a higher probability of survival on the battlefield, and the defending side always has the advantage during battles. Although defensive warships lack offensive capabilities, they are absolutely useful for defense. Coupled with the advantages of technology, Each time, NPC forces can be annihilated at a relatively small cost.

A higher survival rate means that the fleet of this civilization is filled with veterans with rich combat experience, and the veterans will have a higher battle loss ratio, creating a virtuous cycle. This civilization can gather strength in a long-term tug-of-war, and every time it accumulates to a certain level, it will expand outward. Over the years, the power of the civilization will gradually grow.

From this perspective, as long as it When defensive expansion tactics are used to the extreme, the entire civilization has the opportunity to grow and expand in the opposite direction amidst the endless flames of war.

"Interesting civilization~" Lin Zhichen murmured. He was just curious about the unique battleships of this civilization. If he had the opportunity, he wouldn't mind pulling them over to study them to enrich the empire's fleet types. As for the core of the entire fleet, the giant planet The battle fortress is a joy to see.

Whether it is a defensive fortress or an offensive battleship, it is not just about how big you want to build it. Not only the combat effectiveness must be considered, but also financial and technical issues.....

Putting aside everything else, just building this giant planetary battle fortress with a diameter of more than 150,000 kilometers is an incredible thing - because a giant war machine of this size has far surpassed the technology of Emperor Xian.

"Not only are the planetary battle forts built large enough, but even the conventional battleships are one level larger!"He quickly discovered another problem. The minimum length of this civilization's warship - or diameter, has exceeded 1 kilometer. This length has usually reached the level of a destroyer.

In this huge ship with a scale of more than 10 billion , The fleet circled around, and finally he focused on the tens of thousands of mobile fortresses with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers around the giant planetary battle fortress in the center:"Planetary battle forts and mobile fortresses can both be used to guard communication beacons. , these equipment cannot be wasted."

In the deep space at this time, the Imperial Fleet has completed a war and is undergoing short-term repairs. Engineering ships and transport ships shuttle back and forth to repair the partially damaged hull, while the Divine Kingdom Fleet is simply recovering. Quickly crossing the curtain of time and space, he launched a challenge to this huge fleet.

A fleet with a scale of hundreds of millions, like a moth flying to a flame, charged towards an enemy fleet that was a hundred times larger than itself. Unexpectedly, this fleet seemed to focus on defense. The alien fleet 5.8, when the curtain of time and space unfolded and the Kingdom of God's fleet was still tens of light seconds away, quickly deployed in formation and opened fire. The blue plasma bombs, like meteor swarms, streaked through the darkness at the speed of light. Launching a bombardment towards the Kingdom of God’s fleet

"The detection range and shooting range are relatively long. Is this to take advantage of defensive counterattacks?"

Lin Zhichen suddenly understood. He understood the opponent's warship design ideas. The reason why he spent a lot of resources and built larger warships was to carry more equipment, including energy, detection and other systems, as well as more naval guns, Or fortress cannon.

It is not a completely rigid defense. At the same technological level, this kind of similar warship has a longer range and detection range. As soon as the golden fleet appeared, it was bombarded by intensive plasma bombs.
