Comprehensive comic: Building a super-dimensional empire from scratch

At the other end of the solar system.

In the spacecrafts that had escaped earlier, such as Natural Selection, Blue Space, and Ultimate Law, the crew fell into a strange state of silence.

Zhang Beihai stared at the signals that kept coming from the earth. Since he woke up and joined the Space Force, he had never imagined that such an outrageous thing would happen.

The Three-Body Civilization was completely destroyed, and the threat of the Three-Body people also disappeared.

The Star Sea Empire first overturned the human joint fleet and then killed the Three-Body World.

They ruled the entire solar system with their unquestionable technological advantages, and they also had to clean up the surrounding star fields.

Now, in a sense, Natural Selection and the Blue Space, Ultimate Law, Enterprise and Deep Space that were chasing it are the only five remaining warships in the joint fleet.

Click——

After Zhang Beihai walked out of the spherical warehouse, he walked through the end of the corridor, opened the door, and entered the largest spherical hall on the battleship.

In the space at the center of the sphere, a square array composed of officers and soldiers of the fleet was suspended.

Only the first layer was real, and the upper and lower layers were holographic images.

The holographic image square array was composed of soldiers from the four warships of the pursuit fleet. In front of the third-layer square array, five colonels including Dongfang Yanxu stood in a row and saluted him together:

"Asia Fleet'Blue Space'!"

"North American Fleet'Enterprise'!"

"Asia Fleet'Deep Space'!"

"European Fleet'Ultimate Law'!"

Dongfang Yanxu was the last to salute Zhang Beihai: "Asia Fleet'Natural Selection'!"

"Senior, the five interstellar battleships you have saved for mankind are also the entire human space fleet now. Now I accept your command!"

"..."

Zhang Beihai was in a subtle mood.

It was within his expectation that the combined fleet would be defeated by the Trisolarians, but the sudden appearance of another strange human civilization was a complete surprise.

On the Natural Selection, after Zhang Beihai accepted the greetings from the other captains, his face remained unchanged, his eyes calm as water.

"Senior, what should we do now?"

Dongfang Yanxu asked.

"The Earth has been completely occupied by the Xinghai Empire. The land resistance forces were wiped out in half a day. They are now rebuilding the government."

"The other party seems to be an imperial civilization. It is hard to imagine that there are feudal empires in the space age?..."

Zhang Beihai shook his head.

"Dongfang, don't use our values ​​to measure the civilization of another world. It is meaningless to criticize something as illusory as the system."

"If the other party is stronger than us, we should face reality."

"..."

Dongfang Yanxu was speechless. Zhang Beihai was a soldier in the AD era and was not interested in the so-called freedom and equality of the new humans.

“The Earth has not contacted us yet, we should go back.Should we continue to flee?"

The captain of the Ultimate Law asked.

"..."

The five captains fell into a brief silence.

"The Star Sea Empire requires humans to no longer retain any space fleets from now on. If we go back, we must hand over the starship to them."

"Then return to life before the space age."

Chu Yan said.

The crew members looked a little ugly.

They more or less have some feelings for the starship, and it is a bit unwilling to hand it over.

What's more, after returning, there will be no chance to set foot in space again.

"Continue to flee? They don't seem to care about us~".

Dongfang Yanxu clicked on the star map on the holographic interface.

"We can be the only remaining free humans and rebuild a new civilization in the universe. ”

“The nearest star system that can be supplied is… NH558J2 in the direction of Cygnus.”

“It has two planets, both of which are gaseous and liquid planets similar to Jupiter. They are not suitable for human survival, but can replenish nuclear fusion fuel for spacecraft.”

“…”

The captains were silent.

Cygnus is eighteen light years away from the solar system.

Considering various problems during the journey, it will take about 2000 years to arrive.

No supply from any spacecraft can reach there.

Unless…

Gather the resources of other spacecraft and put most of the crew into hibernation.

“!”

A fleeting thought flashed through the minds of the five captains.

Horrible and dark.

“… Let’s go back first, we’ll make a decision later. "

Zhang Beihai sighed.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave.

Zi——

A burst of white snowflakes appeared on the holographic interface, and the communication of the Wannian Fengxue was connected.

In the state of tachyon communication, there was no information delay between the two sides.

Lu Chen glanced at the five captains standing neatly in the cabin, and then looked at Zhang Beihai who was frowning.

I always feel that this scene is familiar.

"Stop, don't run away, if you run again, you will play space battle royale again."

"You come back first."

"? ? ? "

More than 5,000 crew members and several captains looked at Lu Chen in confusion.

For a moment, they were in doubt.

"I guarantee your safety, return home. "

Lu Chen smiled.

If this group of people really run away according to the original plot, Chu Yan will probably be the winner in the end.

He, Zhang Beihai, Ding Yi and others are considered to be the few smart people on Earth.

"..."

The crew looked at Zhang Beihai, waiting for his opinion.

"Go back."

Zhang Beihai sighed.

"If they want to chase us, we can't escape."

"Now, we still have someThere is room for mediation and negotiation. "

Buzz——

Several starships slowly turned and flew towards the solar system.

……

……

Natural Selection and several other starships took a few days to return to the solar system.

Just after passing the orbit of Mercury from one side, the giant ship floating above the sun can be seen with the naked eye.

The Overlord quietly hovered above the star, with the starry sky above and the blazing stars below.

The Milky Way refracted on its majestic hull, forming a regular silver-white halo, intertwined with the blazing sunlight, appearing solemn and majestic.

Facing a planetary-class ship at close range The crew couldn't help but tremble a little.

Especially when they thought of its ability to destroy stars, and then saw it parked on the sun, it was even more frightening.

Click——

A shuttle driven by an omnipotent angel received them.

Zhang Beihai, Chu Yan and several other people whose names were mentioned boarded the shuttle and headed towards the bridge of the Wannian Fengxue.

They noticed that a star base equivalent to a small town had been built above the sun.

Tens of thousands of Bri were waving tools on it, building buildings in the star base at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A space city on the sun? How did they do that?..."

Chu Yan frowned, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"And those workers? Are they artificial intelligence?! Why are they using hammers and drills to build a space city??! ”

“…”

Zhang Beihai didn’t understand either. The space civilization he imagined should use intelligent AI or engineering robots to carry out space operations.

Why is a star base of a superluminal civilization built entirely by hand?!

After thinking for a long time, several captains still couldn’t figure it out.

They just regarded it as the power of a god-level civilization. Their knowledge was not enough to understand it.

Twenty minutes later.

Several people met Lu Chen in the bridge of Wannian Fengxue.

A general with an oriental face, Chu Yan and Zhang Beihai felt a little close.

Most of the ship girls were sent out to clear out aliens and scout the situation, and some stayed in the bridge.

Everyone was stunned.

“Their captains are all girls? …”

“Wait, there are no crew members in this starship that is bigger than the moon? ! ”

“A 3,600-kilometer-long unmanned starship? ? !”

They were speechless after being shocked by the shocking facts one after another.

They intuitively felt the technological gap between humans and the Star Sea Empire.

“Well, to put it simply, I want to talk to you.”

Lu Chen motioned for everyone to sit down and looked at Zhang Beihai and Chu Yan.

It was a waste of time to argue with the unruly people on Earth, but he was willing to spend some energy on these two.

“As you can see, the Star Sea Empire has completely controlled the entireSolar system, and the star base will be completed soon. "

"We will carry out research activities on the Three-Body Universe here, including the unique technology and alien civilizations here."

He briefly explained the situation to everyone.

". ' As for you... I will give you two options."

Lu Chen thought about it.

"Stay on Earth. In the future, Earth will no longer retain the Space Force. You can do something else. The United Government will ensure that you enjoy favorable living conditions."

"Or continue to sail into the starry sky. I can provide you with some supplies. ”

“…”

Everyone pondered for a moment.

The other party was willing to give them a choice, which really showed that they respected themselves.

You can enjoy a stable life on Earth, but you can never go to the starry sky again.

Several people looked at each other and exchanged a few words briefly.

Zhang Beihai spoke first:

“We don’t need to go back to Earth anymore.”

He shook his head and looked at Lu Chen.

“After humans set foot on the starry sky, they became a new civilization.”

“I like Natural Selection very much. It was our dream two centuries ago. In order to build a starship, I had to do a lot of things.”

“If you let me choose my own destination, let me stay with the starship.”

“As the leader of an interstellar civilization, you should understand what I mean? ”

Chu Yan and several other captains nodded in agreement.

“…”

“Indeed.”

Lu Chen looked at the starry sky outside the window, thinking.

“It’s a waste of talent to let you stay on Earth with those unruly people.”

…

…

Two weeks later.

A small star base was built above the sun.

The two spaceships, Natural Selection and Blue Space, slowly sailed out of the berth.

Their hulls and engines were completely transformed, and based on the technological level that humans can understand, they were equipped with light speed engines and more advanced ion weapons.

The spaceships were fully loaded with materials sufficient to support thousands of years of interstellar navigation and set off on their journey.

The two spaceships The ship was led by Zhang Beihai and Chu Yan, and Ding Yi, as a scientist on board, took the humans who were willing to leave the solar system and explore deep space.

Although the Three Body people were annoying, there were still some dreamers who yearned for the starry sky.

The rest of those who were unwilling to take risks returned to Earth.

From then on, in addition to the solar system ruled by the Star Sea Empire, there was another human civilization wandering in the void.

——Starship Earth.

"Thank you for your support, and I hope we can return your gift one day."

Zhang Beihai greeted Lu Chen on the holographic interface.

"Go."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

The resources for transforming the two spacecraft were a matter of convenience. For safety and easy maintenance,Only lightspeed engines were installed on them.

Even so, it is enough for use in this universe.

The original Blue Space was able to continue the human race in a poor situation and master the technology of building small worlds and lightspeed spacecraft.

Now Starship Earth has a higher starting point and is equipped with stronger personnel. He is looking forward to how far this wandering civilization can go.

"Perhaps in the future Starship Earth will become a civilization as great as you. Let us meet again in Perseus, Andromeda Nebula, or even farther in the universe."

The two captains saluted Lu Chen at the end.

——Boom!!!

The two spacecraft started their engines and disappeared into the deep space.

"See you again, General Lu.".
