Chapter 73 Stargate
The shipboard intelligence prompts that it will arrive at the area where the star gate is located in half a day, and the Tomahawk begins to slow down gradually.

The star gate is a huge spherical space with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, shining with various streamers.It is transformed by using natural wormholes and formed after it is stabilized. The location through which the space jumps to is also fixed, so it is not a teleportation array that can be adjusted.From one galaxy to another target galaxy, there are often many star gates of other galaxies in the middle.

The Xieba galaxy has only one star gate, so it can only be used to reach a large galaxy called Gu Zhong. From the star map, it is also far away from the habitable planet, with a flight of more than seven days.

Twenty warships from the Principality of Siting are stationed near the star gate, and they have only recently been stationed here.

Several million kilometers away from the star gate, the space radio radar detected the fleet in the space near the star gate, and the opposite side immediately sent a radio dialogue request to the Tomahawk.After establishing contact, Ling Qi saw that the other party looked very serious, and after confirming Ling Qi's military status, his expression softened a little.

"Are you going to another galaxy? The situation around here is a bit complicated. It's too risky for you to come out with an unarmed fourth-level spaceship..." Ling Qi's identity certificate and military achievement certificate have won the other party's full trust.Through the dialogue, Ling Qi learned that the so-called complexity includes three aspects.

On the one hand, his special unit has ordered hundreds of interstellar armed spaceships from the galaxy opposite the star gate in the past two days, and they are being delivered one after another. The first batch of forty ships is estimated to arrive at the star gate in five days.And the special forces are also coming to the star gate by spaceship, they will deliver here and the other side, and reorganize and train on the spot.

The second aspect is that the harassment of pirates has become frequent.Because there are pirate gangs coming from distant galaxies one after another, the pirates here will always send one or two warships to provoke, intending to lure away the fleet stationed here, so that other pirates can take the opportunity to pass through the star gate.They have been fooled several times, and although they have sunk two of them, it has also led to several groups of pirates coming in.

The third aspect is that some warlords in the Principality of Diwu are suspected of colluding with pirates, and from time to time they will start fake fights in the nearby starry sky, intending to create chaos.Now, they are facing this problem. In the starry sky on the side of the Principality of Diwu, dozens of spaceships are at war, posing a decisive battle at any time.The garrison fleet of the Principality of Siting is paying close attention to the situation.

Of course, the starry sky near the Principality of Tiwu mentioned here is only relative to the present. Since the Xieba galaxy is a remote large star system, the distances of the stars are not eternal as the planets revolve around the stars.There is no absolute starry sky border between the two duchies at all, and the so-called border is only a relative position in a certain period.

As the Tomahawk gradually approached, Ling Qi found a problem. The two fleets facing each other were too close to the star gate, only a few thousand kilometers away. If he continued to drive towards the star gate, he would fall into the opposite range.In case of a sudden salvo from the other side, the Tomahawk would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Seventeen and fifteen spaceships are confronting each other. These bastards deliberately put the surroundings of the star gate within range. It is hard to guarantee that they have no evil intentions. Even Xiting's garrison fleet was forced to retreat a certain distance to keep it out of range. You can't take risks." Ling Qi adjusted his direction, drawing a huge arc to get closer to the garrison fleet.He contacted the communication officer just now, and said that he needs to pass through the star gate. Can he ask the fleet commander to help negotiate with the opposite side, so that the two groups of spaceships on the opposite side can give up a safe distance.

"It's useless, we warned when the other side was approaching the star gate, but the other side didn't listen, otherwise we wouldn't have to retreat so far..." The fleet guessed that the other side was either trying to drag them into the water and take the opportunity to ignite the flames of war Come here, or there are pirates coming over from the star gate.

Hell, Ling Qi had to stop the car.

"Or you can wait here for a few days. After the special forces arrive, reorganize the newly-purchased spaceships and force the opponent back." The communication officer of the nearby fleet suggested.

"Will they wait to snatch new spaceships?" Ling Qi asked a very unprofessional question.

"No, they don't have authority, and it's useless to snatch the spaceship. And knowing that the situation here is complicated, the opposite side will confirm safety with us through a special force before entering the star gate, so as to avoid being ambushed."

Ling Qi was hesitant. There would not be a fleet stationed around the star gate with one ship. The Principality of Xiting sent twenty ships because of the recent pirate incident.He really had to be cautious when going through this star gate, not to go to the opposite side and just fall into a group of pirates' encirclement.

He zoomed in on the photoelectric camera and saw a huge star gate thousands of kilometers away.There are six artificial celestial bodies around the star gate. Ling Qi once learned about their functions on the Internet. They use a complex energy matrix to constantly gather the space energy escaping from the wormhole, which in turn maintains the stability of the star gate, so there is no need to Additional huge energy support is provided.

The construction of the star gate is in charge of the most transcendent force in the interstellar civilization. The name is "star gate". They have more advanced space curvature drive technology than the current conventional space propulsion technology and countless star destroyers. No empire Dare to provoke.Ling Qi came across a record when he was learning about star gate information on the interstellar network. There was once an empire that deliberately destroyed the star gate in order to gain an advantage when it launched a war. Completely wiped out.Since then, even the pirates have not dared to easily think of destroying the star gate...

The two fleets in the direction of the Principality of Diwu neither went to war nor retreated, just confronted each other on the same spot, which made Ling Qidan very painful, feeling that these guys were here to fight him.He locked two of the warships through the radar and sent a radio dialogue request. Half a minute later, the opposite side established contact with him.

"The two elder brothers, the younger brother is from the Principality of Xiting. If you want to pass through the star gate, can you walk away from a safe distance?" Ling Qi lowered his posture and said to the two people projected by the hologram.

"Damn brat, go back if you have no eggs, don't bother us."

"Humph……"

Both of them disdain to communicate with him more, and directly disconnected.Ling Qi was furious: "These bastards, when the special forces come over, I will definitely encourage the fleet to bomb you." He decided to wait here, and take a look at what his army is like.

In fact, if Ling Qi was willing to take risks, he might pass by avoiding the rush.The distance of space battles is often calculated in hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Even if the energy beam of the destroyer cannon is fired at close to the speed of light, it can be reached in an instant, but there is always a slight delay in the movement of the muzzle following the evasive target. There has been a huge discrepancy.It's just that Ling Qi felt that there was no need to take such a risk, so he decided to wait.Maybe there is really a pirate team on the opposite side preparing to come over, it would be dangerous for him to charge like this...

The capital star is more than five days away from the star gate. Under the escort of four warships, the commander of the special forces personally led two thousand "salted fish" to the star gate in four warships and two troop carriers.

The commander is now in high spirits. As the commander of the "Salted Fish Troop", even though his subordinates are all noble young soldiers, and his background energy is shocking, he was often ridiculed by his colleagues in the past.There is no way, there is really no good performance, the training and acting are not good, and the battle is even more hopeless.Now the salted fish army has become a salted fish fleet, and it has really turned around.

The huge fleet of more than 400 interstellar armed spaceships is larger than all the fleets in service in the entire Principality combined. No one dares to laugh at him anymore.

"The time to arrive at the star gate coincided with the time when the first batch of spaceships were sent over. Afterwards, spaceships were sent over one after another every day, and they could be reorganized soon. This time, a group of instructors from the First Fleet were specially invited to come. Instruct this group of salted fish in space tactics and train on the spot. It just so happens that the garrison fleet has lost its temper after complaining and being provoked these days, and then let my salted fish fleet appear on the stage to see who has lost their temper..."

The commander flirts with all his heart, only barely humming.For space warfare, he only has theory and no practical experience. After all, he has never led a fleet.As long as the fleet under his command can master the basic coordination of this training camp, the goal will be achieved. It is not about fighting in the complex meteorite belt that requires combat skills. In the empty space environment, it only needs to be crushed by numbers and scales.

Two days later, there was a flash on the sphere of the stargate, and a huge Tier [-] battleship emerged from the inside with the energy shield on it, and the shield was filled with residual energy arcs.

In the battleship, a middle-aged man looked arrogantly at the two fleets facing each other on the holographic projection and the Siting fleet watching, and said with a contemptuous smile: "The guy in the wild land, I don't know what to say!"

The battleship accelerated and was about to head towards the capital star of the Principality of Xiting.

At this moment, the commander's eyes lit up on one of the warships on the Diwu side: "If the Tier [-] warship heading to Xiting is a senior member of Xiting, if he is killed, Laxiting will be launched into the water and the situation will be completely disrupted! "

He sent a dialogue request to the sixth-tier battleship, and the two sides quickly established contact. A middle-aged man appeared on the projection with a cold gaze.

"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man seemed to be in a high position for a long time, and asked in a tone of addressing a servant.

Commander Diwu suddenly felt angry. He suppressed his emotions with reason, and inevitably said in a bad tone: "Who are you? Report your background."

"Hmph, who am I, you are not qualified to know!" The middle-aged man smiled contemptuously and hung up the conversation directly.Commander Diwu felt Ling Qi's emotions at the time, and almost exploded with anger.He raised his hand and pressed a button viciously, and a special signal tone sounded on the 32 spaceships in the pretend confrontation at the same time, which was the signal to launch an attack.

Dozens of destroyer guns locked on to the Tier [-] warship and began to recharge at the same time.

"What?" The middle-aged man was shocked, and the warning sounded loudly in the bridge.

"Asshole, avoid it quickly." He roared angrily, never expecting to meet a group of reckless lunatics.Numerous subordinates were in a hurry, and issued various instructions to the shipboard intelligence according to their respective responsibilities. Some were responsible for weapon locking and charging, some were responsible for evasion, some were responsible for observing the environment, and some were responsible for monitoring possible damage inside and outside the battleship and directing maintenance. The robot is on standby for maintenance and remediation at any time.

In fact, when encountering this kind of attack lock, the shipboard intelligence itself will automatically conduct irregular flights to avoid it.Therefore, although a round of volleys from Di Wu's fleet interweaved a dense energy net, only four attacks happened to hit the target, and the energy shield was not even broken.
