Him and their stars.

Chapter 650 Anomalies in the Black Gate Star District

This matter has to start with some recent abnormal movements in the Black Gate star area.

This is also an empire border star area close to the center of the galaxy, adjacent to the extreme frontier star area where Yu Lian and his friends are now.Except for the two transition passages bordering on the Extreme Front Star Region and the Gate of Glory Star Region respectively, the border galaxies are generally close to the center of the Milky Way, and the other half directly faces the most mysterious and vast abyssal nebula in the whole galaxy.Its geographical situation can be imagined.

If not fifty years ago, a star gate directly leading to the "New World" opened in this star area, it was destined to be just a remote star area where exiles and coolie camps gathered.

This star sector is adjacent to the galactic center, and of course it is also the target of looting by the Marauder Legion.It's just that most of the transition routes between the Heimen star area and the center of the galaxy have to pass through the starry space isolation zone composed of extremely unstable dwarf stars, giant stars, and variable light stars.We all know that the gravity wells formed between these unstable star bodies are also unstable, and they are all drawn with dotted lines on the standard star map, so the conditions for their passage can be imagined.

This isolated space composed of hundreds of stars and galaxies is known as the "Wall of Sigh of Prince Noreus", or "Sigh of Noreus" for short.This has nothing to do with the Greek mythology of Earth.It was Duke Nolius, the famous navigator in the history of the empire, before he led the scientific research ship to this galaxy, he looked at the impassable stars and the "close at hand" galactic center, knowing that the territory of the empire in this direction ended here I could only let out a sigh.

The Duke of Norius is a royal nobleman, and the isolation zone in this starry sky has this name.

Criminals wanted by the empire would pass through these "Norius Sighs" and flee to the center of the galaxy, but looters rarely appeared from this direction.After all, the interstellar nomads in Yinxin took the risk of going to war only for money, and they wouldn't have to escape from death and cross mountains and mountains just for this little food.

So, compared to the frontline of the extreme frontier star region, which is directly facing the predators, the garrison in the Heimen star region is not too many, and the main force is the land force.It is not so much used to prevent looters as it is used to suppress slave labor and exile criminals.

Later, the empire built the Dragon's Throat Fortress of the Sky Fort level in the star area.However, this was originally prepared for the sudden opening of the Venus Gate.You know, when these stargates leading to another universe were opened, everyone was waiting for the arrival of the high-dimensional demons and fighting desperately.

However, it was later confirmed that there were no high-dimensional demons or other powerful civilization invaders in the New World. Instead, it was a heavenly gift package bestowed on the civilizations of the Milky Way galaxy.As a result, the Dragon's Throat Fortress changed from a purely military fortress to guarding the L3 Venus Gate. It was later officially named "Dragon's Throat Stargate" by the empire, and it maintained the core transportation center for the mainland waterway and freight transfer.

Agnes and the others are planning to go to the New World through this "Dragon Throat Stargate".However, the current Dragon Throat Stargate has undergone a limited blockade, consuming military and government transport fleets, and all other merchant ships and passenger ships have implemented a flow-limiting policy and must queue up to pass.

In this way, the big guys who were just about to gather for a big job suddenly found that when they could get to the work place, they could already celebrate the New Year there.

If it’s just this, it’s fine, anyway, the report time required by the contract is March next year, and this is a force majeure, or a force majeure caused by Party A itself.However, everyone is grouped together and already has a small number of 3 people. It is not a small expense for people to eat horses. The minimum personnel doomed and training expenses can easily run out of water.

In fact, they are indeed at the end of their rope.If Feifei had not secretly given Agnes [-] gold dragons before coming here, they would have been kicked out by the landlord.

...If the God of the North Wind, who has been strengthened in advance, can really become an industry benchmark like in another timeline, this will surely become a model entrepreneurial story that inspires generations of migrant workers, right?It's a routine for the stories of building business empires in garages and college dormitories in Yu Lian's hometown.

However, no matter how you say it, like the champion team of the God of War Festival, they were dragged down by their new friends to the point where they could hardly even afford to eat, and they did enough... Well, it’s really enough for the heavenly general People too.

"Miss Agnes is going to raise military expenses like she did back then, and she actually went to a local underground boxing match." Speaking of this, Feifei couldn't stop laughing: "But this is the Luyuan Star on the border, and it's not as formal as the imperial capital. Yes. She was greedy for bonuses by gangsters, and in a rage she took the big guy to smash the local gangster's place. Fortunately, the police came quickly, so no one was killed, and this ended well. She herself was fine, because The merits of the God of War Festival have automatically made him a citizen of the empire. But there are still many companions who are still in the detention center, and they have to pay bail before they can be released!"

It turns out that this is the real reason!Yu Lian couldn't help feeling so emotional.

This may be considered luck in exchange for misfortune.All in all, with Yu Lian...ah no, with the capital injection from Red Star, the God of the North Wind will soon be able to set up a shelf, and it should be able to grow faster than the previous timeline.

As for Mr. Silverbeard and his Terrabi team.Anyway, he didn't say anything, and Yu Lian pretended he didn't know anything.This is the tacit understanding that mature adults should have.

For the time being, let's put aside the future of Beifeng God Company and the development of Red Star Institute in the direction of a military-industrial complex, let's talk about the issue of the Heimen star area.Currently, the Imperial Navy admiral, Viscount Lang Teddalos, sits on the Dragon's Throat Fortress in the Black Gate sector.Of course, since the current main function of the Dragon's Throat Fortress has changed from a military fortress to a trade transfer station, the real manager is actually an administrative bureaucrat directly appointed by the Prime Minister's Office.Admiral Tedalus himself commanded only an empire-standard border patrol fleet, with more than [-] large and small ships, and the main battleships were three battle cruisers of just over [-] million tons and two heavy armored aircraft carriers.The total strength of the crew plus marines is only about [-].

This amount of troops should be enough to guard the border, at least it has been proved in the previous hundreds of years.Anyway, there is no space civilization of the same level in the new continent behind the star gate. The predators of the galaxy are blocked by unstable stars behind the more distant starry sky, and it is impossible to maintain a large-scale fleet.Occasionally, some small-scale predator warships leaked through the "small paths" in the starry sky, and it was impossible to pose any threat at all.

In comparison, the pirates who drilled out of the abyss nebula caused more damage.

This is also the reason why the imperial fleet stationed in the Dragon's Throat Fortress is dominated by high-speed warships-of course, mobility is the main thing to catch pirates. Is it possible to expect pirates to pull out the battle line and fight your fleet for a decisive battle?

However, in the peaceful days of the Black Gate Star District and the Dragon's Throat Fortress, there has been a strange rumor recently.It is said that a security supervisor consisting of three small ships lost contact with the Dragon's Throat Fortress during a routine combat readiness patrol.The lost galaxy is three jumps away from Dragon's Throat Fortress, about 70 light-years away.In the age of the universe, this is equivalent to what happened right under the nose.

But the really frightening thing is that the automatic detector placed in that galaxy has captured the signal of the huge battleship.The size scale, at least for fearlessness.

But don't think that the nomads in the starry sky in the center of the galaxy are barbarians.You must know that they are originally a civilized race that failed in the struggle for hegemony in the galaxy, not to mention that there have been defectors who have fled into the galaxy over the years, bringing with them the latest information, cultural trends, and even technology.At least in terms of military technology, they are still very advanced.

Countless predators have attacked in history, and they have already proved to the world that they really have dreadnoughts.Although he looks very ugly, his combat effectiveness is really sturdy.

The Heimen star area suddenly felt like an enemy, and directly closed the star gate to enter the battle state.He even sent a request for help to King Slein, who had already rushed to the planet Sarna to eat melons.

In charge of the defense of the Gate of Glory, the number one thug in the Emperor's House, who is in charge of one-fifth of the central military force of the empire, immediately ordered the fleet under his command to reorganize and prepare for rescue, and rushed to the Gate of Glory overnight.

No matter how the Marauder dreadnoughts made their way through those dotted jump lanes, it was never wrong to be vigilant and stay alert.

The Imperial fleet did find the wreckage of its own ship in the crashed system, but no survivors.Then, it was another week of searching. Most of the imperial fleet belonging to Dragonmaw Fortress searched several galaxies, but there was still no trace of any enemy.

The shadow of the ship captured by the probe seems to be nothing more than a ghost flashing behind the deep cosmic sky.

Unmanned automatic detectors are naturally likely to fail, but the Imperial Fleet cannot really end the incident with a mechanical failure, and still maintain a considerable part of its troops near the Black Gate star field.This also includes the support fleet sent from the Gate of Glory, and there are four dreadnought ships as the combat core of the fleet - this is of course a countermeasure for the dreadnought ships that may exist in the predators.

The above is the real reason why the Dragon's Maw star gate is restricted.

"However, only three patrol gunboats were attacked, and the total number of dead did not exceed [-] people. At the Black Gate, similar things happen every month. Everyone thinks that the real culprit is probably the pirate group of the Abyss Nebula, Or some ferocious smugglers." Feifei said.

Indeed, the universe is so big that even an empire cannot really seal its borders watertightly, there will always be outlaws seeping in.

The above situation was naturally blocked by the empire, but it was not kept secret to the point of military secrets.After all, there were too many witnesses present, and it was impossible to completely block the news.Feifei, as a person who is not well-trained but talented, ah no, the reporter, it is very reasonable to know this news.

However, as an insider, she is still very puzzled: "It is impossible for dreadnoughts to pass in the direction of Norius' sigh, and those extremely unstable transition channels cannot stabilize such a large-mass creation. Over the past thousand years, No raiders have made any significant incursions from this direction."

Having said that, Yu Lian immediately felt relieved, and said solemnly: "This is not certain. For more than a thousand years, there has never been a God-chosen champion born in the God of War Festival."

Feifei glanced at the other party, shrugged her elegant nose in dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "Yu'er, aren't you a mature adult already? Are you learning to argue with me here?"

Yu Lian thought to himself that this was really not arguing.On another world line, the predators have mastered a new technology, or a combination of science and psionics.It is said that through a drug, the hidden potential of the psykers who "explore" the star ring will be given, allowing them to gain stronger space recognition ability and the ability to calculate the cosmological constant.

The psyker who swallowed this drug will truly turn into the most sophisticated space detection radar, able to search for some paths that have not been discovered yet.At the same time, it can also conduct on-site high-speed analysis of unstable gravity wells, find their fluctuation periods, and determine the time for large ships to pass.

Therefore, in the later turbulent era, part of the main force of the predators actually passed through the spiral nebula and appeared in the hinterland of the alliance, catching them by surprise.Since the Predator can cross the Helix Nebula, it is also very reasonable to be able to pass through Norius Sigh.

All in all, this is indeed a stagnant universe, but there is always a lot of progress in the use of some subtle techniques and tactics.

However, Yu Lian vaguely remembered that this incident should have happened more than ten years later.At that time, because the empire mastered the doomsday weapon first, it gained a considerable degree of initiative and launched a full-scale attack on the battlefield of the two camps.The alliance was devastated for a while, but it was raining all night, and it was invaded by the largest predator in [-] years. For a while, many people began to doubt whether this huge alliance I can't go on.

Of course, there are rumors that this is actually a taboo technology.The body of the psyker who has taken too many drugs will swell and distort, completely turning into a sarcoma-like monster parasitic on the ship, becoming a part of the ship's hull, and achieving a "ascension" to another level of life in a certain sense .

However, this is just a gossip in later generations.You should also know that although there is a saying that individuals born in the galaxy are more likely to awaken and "explore", but the population in the galaxy is limited after all, and they are not enough to be used as consumables.

All in all, it is not yet possible to determine whether the predators have mastered this evil technology in advance, but Yu Lian feels that, combined with the news from Deng Zhengqing who served in the outer cantilever fleet, his side still cannot take it lightly.

Yu Lian suggested that the country should be notified of these news as soon as possible.

"I've already done this. Don't forget what they do?" Feifei laughed.

"Oh, yes, you are a well-trained spy, ah no...excellent reporter!" Yu Lian was pinched by Feifei again, and immediately changed his words: "Send the interviewed situation back to the country in time. It's your job."

Feifei chuckled, not bothering to pay attention to the other party's ambiguity, and said: "However, it is difficult for the National Defense Committee to pay attention to this kind of matter. Besides, even if the predators really came in from Norius Sigh, they would not take it seriously. What impact does the community have? At this time, as long as Papa Paris agrees, it will be fine to maintain the defense zone in the direction of the cantilever."

Indeed it is.

"In comparison, let's do our own thing well first! This exercise has reached this level, how will it end? Also, people are also very interested in the future that Yu'er talked about!"
