Chapter 184, The River System Around the Milky Way
The 100 years after the disaster are the busiest 100 years. The civilizations surviving the entire Milky Way are working hard to build their own homes. Even the empire has devoted most of its power to the construction of the inner circle of the Milky Way, restore the prosperity of the life planet, build a space-time gate for space transmission in various star fields of the Milky Way, clearing up many dangers left over from the dangerous disaster period, etc. The entire empire has been busy for 100 years.
The solar system, the base of the Empire, is still the core of the empire. No matter how prosperous the building of the inner circle of the Milky Way is, the high-level officials of the empire have no plans to move the empire center.
In the solar system, the Empire has built many time and space gates, specifically used to connect various star fields of the Milky Way, allowing the Empire to firmly control the entire Milky Way in its own hands.
In all directions of the solar system, there are 9 space-time gates that can be transmitted to any place in the Milky Way, including the attached satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. Among them, the "Expedition Gate" is a space-time gate that is specially used to transmit to various attached satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. It is currently only limited to important units of the Empire's military, the Imperial Academy of Sciences and other important imperial units.
Liu Qingquan rode a medium-sized space warship with a diameter of only 500 kilometers and drove rapidly in the void, and suddenly flew into the huge time and space gate of "Expedition Gate".
This time, Liu Qingquan went to the Great Magellanic System, an affiliated satellite galaxy of the Milky Way to inspect the preparations for the Empire's Expeditionary Legion. Although the Empire has been busy restoring the vitality of the Milky Way for more than 100 years, the Empire has not been stranded for the Empire's external expansion plan.
Although at this stage, the Milky Way has enough resources for the empire to develop for hundreds of millions of years, the Chinese nation has had a sense of worry since ancient times. Naturally, the more resources, the better. Even if you can't use it now, you can occupy it first. In addition, the empire already has enough strength and confidence to explore the universe.
It has reached the level of a level 6 universe civilization and has mastered many space technologies, such as space folding, space blockade, space storage, space fluctuation, space strangulation, and space transmission. In the development of space technology, the empire can be said to be very comprehensive. It is impossible for a general level 6 universe civilization to master so much space technology.
Of course, although the Empire currently has enough space technology, it is not too deep, and it is not able to achieve comprehensive utilization. For example, combining space transmission technology and space fluctuation technology. Once the combination of these two technologies is achieved, the Empire's space transmission technology can achieve a leap forward and it is possible to teleport to any corner of the Virgo galaxy cluster at once. Of course, the weapons created by space fluctuation will be even more terrifying. Directly transmit the space fluctuation attack to your warship and to your nest. Imagine this terrible!
The empire needs to continue to expand externally, the empire's increasing population needs for resources, the empire's demand for resources, the empire's demand for slowly integrating into the cosmic stage, the empire's need to develop higher-level cosmic civilizations, etc., in any aspect, it is constantly urging the empire to continue to expand externally. This is what the empire has been doing since its founding. Maybe there has been a period of time, because the empire needs time to digest the flesh that has already eaten, and it is not that the empire has really stopped expanding.
The Empire Expeditionary Legion is the vanguard army used by the Empire to expand the extra rivers and galaxies. For more than 100 years, the Empire has been training troops in all directions of the Milky Way, constantly training the Empire Expeditionary Legion to prepare for the Empire's external expansion.
In the void of the Milky Way satellite galaxy, the Big Maizi Galaxy, a large space-time wormhole was opened, and warships flew out from it. The space warship Liu Qingquan was riding in was tightly defended by more than 100 space warships around.
The Great Magellanic System is stationed and trained here by the First Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Legion. In the future, their target will be the Triangle Galaxy, which is commonly known as M33, a distant galaxy that is 2.64 million light years away from the Milky Way. The Triangle Galaxy is not located in the straight lines of the Taiyuan Galaxy, Andromeda Galaxy, and the Milky Way. The location of the Triangle Galaxy is almost at a 120-degree angle to this straight line.
The information provided by the Gangyanquan civilization on the empire, combined with its own inference, is that the Triangle galaxy is swallowed by the Void Zerg, and the possibility of sweeping is much lower than that of other river galaxies, because the disaster of the Milky Way retreated in a very short time. According to reasoning, the Void Zerg should retreat along the space-time currents of the Great Virgo galaxy cluster.
The Triangle Galaxy is at the upstream of this space-time current, at least higher than the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy. It is swallowed by the Void Zerg and the probability of sweeping is relatively small. It should even be considered very lucky that there is no major disaster at all.
Speaking of this, we have to introduce some of the rivers around the Milky Way. The closest river to the Milky Way is naturally the Andromeda Galaxy. This river number M31, 2.2 million light-years away from the Empire, has many mysterious colors in the ancient myths of China.
Then the second closest to the Milky Way is the Triangle galaxy, which is 2.64 million light years away. The distance between Andromeda galaxy and Triangle galaxy is not too far from the Milky Way. In terms of the long distance between the river galaxies, this distance difference is almost negligible.
The third place is the River galaxy 12 million light years away from the Milky Way, numbered NGC253, the Jade Matsushi Galaxy, a galaxy with a very large mass. According to imperial scientists' estimates of the Jade Matsushi Galaxy, its mass should be 10 times that of the Milky Way, and it is definitely a very large and fertile galaxy!
Ranked fourth is 12 million light years from the Milky Way, numbered M81, also known as the Bode Galaxy, located in the Ursa Major vortex galaxy group!
Ranked fifth is a distant river galaxy 17-18 million light years away from the Milky Way. The number is N300. It is a river galaxy located in the Peacock galaxy. It is currently named the Bird River by the Empire!
Ranked sixth is the extra-river galaxy number C342, which is about 20 million light years away from the Milky Way, located in the direction of the giraffe galaxy group. This is a vortex galaxy named the Deer Antlers River by the empire.
The seventh-ranked river galaxy is the number M64 galaxy that is about 20 million light years away from the Milky Way. This is a very interesting river galaxy. Because the brightness of the entire river galaxy is dark, it has become the Sleeping Beauty River galaxy, which belongs to the famous black-eyed galaxy group of late-born constellations!
Ranked eighth is a spiral river galaxy located in the Clock galaxy group, numbered NGC1512, 22 million light years from the Empire, a very far distance, named the Bell-Headed River galaxy by imperial astronomical scientists!
The ninth ranks as a vortex river galaxy located in the Canis Retriever galaxy group, numbered M51. According to the light collected by imperial scientists about this galaxy, this is named the Inuya River galaxy by imperial scientists, and its distance from the Milky Way should be about 2.2 million light years.
The above nine river galaxies are the nine closest to the Milky Way. The empire has formed nine armies accordingly, and each army corresponds to one river galaxy. The future mission is to launch an expedition to these nine river galaxies almost at the same time, and to incorporate river galaxies within about 20 million light-years around the Milky Way into the empire's territory.
The First Army is responsible for the expedition to the Triangle galaxy. Because imperial scientists consider that the Triangle galaxy is likely to be swept away from the Void Zerg, the local civilization of the Triangle galaxy should be relatively powerful, especially if there is no major disaster like the Milky Way like this.
The power of the local civilization of the Triangle galaxy should be many times stronger than that of other river galaxies. After all, if it continues to develop, the number and strength of the level 5 universe civilization and level 4 universe civilization in the Triangle galaxy are much stronger.
The pressure on the First Army may face in the future is very great, but it will not be as easy as the Ninth Army responsible for Andromeda Galaxy. It just runs to Andromeda Galaxy to take over the Andromeda Galaxy. After all, they are all swept away by the Void Zerg and can be occupied without any effort.
At the headquarters of the First Army, General Liu Qiying, the commander-in-chief of the First Army, was respectfully welcomed his father's arrival at this time. Liu Qingquan has many sons and daughters. In fact, most of them are engaged in scientific research like Liu Qingquan, and of course they are also engaged in the army.
Among the best military, Liu Qiying is the one who has been doing the best in the army. He has reached the level of the imperial general with his own strength a long time ago. He is second only to the first-generation generals among the imperial military, including Zhang Feiai, Zhong Nanji, and Yi Xiaojun, and is considered the second-level general.
"Report to your Majesty, the First Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Legion is waiting for instructions!"
There are no father and son in the army, only the upper and lower levels. Liu Qiying saluted very respectfully and waited for Liu Qingquan's order. He knew that Liu Qingquan would not come to the Big Magellanic System for no reason, and it must have a purpose.
"Qiying, sit down!"
Jiang Zhipeng, who was standing beside him, looked at Liu Qixian and smiled slightly. Jiang Zhipeng’s most precious daughter was marrying Liu Qiying. Looking at his son-in-law, Jiang Zhipeng liked him more than Liu Qingquan. Liu Qingquan didn’t say anything, but he spoke first.
"Ahem, I said Lao Jiang, I just let your son-in-law stand for a while? Why do you feel sorry for it if you need it? The boss doesn't feel sorry for his son. You are your father-in-law!"
