Resurrection Empire

He silently said to himself: "This Nanxiang Bo Liu An is not very kind. Since they are going to meet the escort, it should be that they come to pick us up through the black mist area. Then wait for us on the other side for ten minutes. The truth of the year. Something is wrong."

He opened the files again, focusing on the information about the black mist area.

According to the information provided by the prospectors of the Royal Academy of Sciences, there are a large number of discrete dark energy clusters permeating the black mist area, as small as moon-like satellites, and as large as far exceeding the most massive stars.

These dark energy clusters follow their respective orbits in a huge part of the time, revolving around the large black hole in the central area of ​​the black mist area with a stable law.

However, once two dark energy clusters whose volume and mass exceed the limit collide and trigger a violent explosion, releasing unstable energy tides and gravitational shocks, it may trigger a chaotic explosion that sweeps across the entire dark energy cluster.

A chaotic eruption of this intensity can strangle and destroy all substances that break into it.

According to the tips of the prospectors, the black mist area erupts once every [-] million years on average.

The last eruption occurred more than six million years ago, when the Machine Empire and the Ascendant's army faced off nearby.

The Mechanical Empire has deployed a small number of fleets on the frontal battlefield, and the total force size is about half of the sublimator army. It is quite disadvantageous on the frontal battlefield and has been besieged.

But at the same time, the Mechanical Empire dispatched the real main force from the other side, quietly entered from the other side of the black mist area, and quickly approached the battlefield, preparing to attack from inside and outside, and wipe out this army of sublimators.

At that time, the Machine Empire had just developed a new type of invisible coating, and a large number of fleets approached the main battlefield quietly. As long as they were culled, they would definitely catch the sublimator army by surprise.

The empire's plan is flawless, and if everything goes well, a great victory will be achieved.

Unfortunately, when it was only two months away from flying out of the black mist area, a major outbreak occurred without warning.

In the end, only a small number of fleets with good luck escaped, but at this time the frontal battlefield outside had already suffered a complete defeat, and these few ships that escaped were also chased and intercepted by the sublimators.

Not only did the empire lose its troops, but it also exposed a new type of stealth coating, and the data was burned by the sublimated, and it quickly evolved targeted detection methods.The research and development of billions of imperial scientists who have spent thousands of years has been for naught.

The influence of this incident spread continuously, causing the Machine Empire to lose the territory of the Nanxiang Star Cluster for a time.The Empire has since recaptured it at great cost.However, due to the large number of heavy troops invested in the Nanxiang star cluster, other theaters have repeatedly suffered setbacks.

The dominoes created by this event continued to affect the Empire for nearly a million years, before finally being replaced by another great rout.

After reading these materials, Ren Zhong thought to himself: "Since it happened just once 600 million years ago, the dark energy group in the black mist area reorganized its structure and reached a new space gravitational balance, then there will be no such thing in the short term. The possibility of another major outbreak. The small number of scout stars placed by the empire in the black mist area did not give an early warning, which proves that the black mist area is still in a stable silent period. Then, the behavior of Uncle Nanxiang not letting the special service fleet pass through the black mist area, That’s debatable.”

Ren Zhong's eyes fell on the star map again, looking at the olive-shaped black fog area at a [-]-degree inclination angle with the ecliptic plane of the ancient disk galaxy, and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, there was a jeer in his office.

"boring."

……

Time flies, and 11 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ren Zhong once again woke up from the freeze.

But this time no alarm sounded in his personal freezer.

He had programmed his wake-up routine 11 years in advance.

After walking out of the freezer and returning to the office, 10 minutes later, the newly appointed acting administrative officer of the Origin Star Fleet, Ysu Locke, appeared in Ren Zhong's office.

At this time, Ren Zhong had just quickly reviewed the personnel changes in the fleet over the past 11 years.

Six years ago, Zhuo Yihang fell at his post.

Subsequently, according to the rules formulated by Ren Zhong, several people participated in the competition, including Liang Qifa, the general manager of Chrome Carbon Resources in the original Chrome Carbon Town; The newly appointed head of the Rock Group, Isu Rock.

In the end, after layers of screening and comparison, as well as fair assessment, consultation and nomination of representatives from various industries and fields, it turned out that Ysu Locke, a middle-aged man who was only eight years old when he boarded the fleet and is only 30 years old now, stood out. , became the new acting administrative officer.

Ysu Locke was a member of the vested interests of the former business association, but it did not mean that the power of Ren Zhong was left behind.

At that time, Yisu Locke also passed the assessment of the decent political officer Ju Qingmeng, and the legal officer Xiao Xingyue also dispatched dozens of Psychics to conduct a comprehensive psychological examination on him.

Chapter 483 Farewell to resurrection, advance to the empire, single particle universe hypothesis

"In the past 11 years, energy, materials and biotechnology have been the three most important scientific research sectors of the fleet. The importance of the three is similar, but you have shown the best overall talent, so Qingmeng promoted you at the beginning. I Approve her judgment, you've done a pretty good job these years."

Seeing the still young Ren Zhong standing up, he patted Yisu Locke on the shoulder.

I don't know when it started, Ren Zhong developed the habit of patting others on the shoulder.

Maybe he did it instinctively, but others will always be excited by his little gesture of intimacy.

Ysu Rock was only 24 years old when he took office, and he is just over 30 years old now. Although he has sufficient nutrition and better anti-aging medicine, he does not look old at the age of [-]. There are only a few wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. But Yisu still looks much older than Ren Zhong.

However, Yisu still cheered up, nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Thank you for your praise, sir. I will make persistent efforts and live up to my entrustment."

"Well, let's go. I'm just waking up routinely. I don't have any special arrangements for now. You can do it yourself."

Encouraging the other party, when the person left, Ren Zhong sat back on the desk and opened the star map.

After a while, Ren Zhong suddenly opened his mouth: "Xiao Ai."

"exist!"

Ren Zhong: "Get me a flying shuttle."

Ren Zhong has established military exploits, and his military exploits have passed the review of the Imperial Supernet. He still holds the dual titles of Lifetime Marquis and Hereditary Viscount.If he can successfully arrive at the Southern Nine Stars with the giant germ cells, enter the empire's territory, or if he can accurately interpret all the gene treasures in the giant germ cells along the way, and get the certification of the Royal Academy of Sciences, then he will be awarded the hereditary The title of Marquis.

The empire has announced more new technologies to him according to the change of title.

In these 11 years, the Yuanxing Fleet has never stopped updating its equipment.That is, there is no space dock, otherwise the fleet would even want to update and improve the core components such as the main structure, power module and force field shield of the annual ring ship and armed warship. In theory, it can reach a cruising speed close to 0.15 times the speed of light .

The big one can't be moved, but the small one is easy to handle.

Now the Star Fleet has fully improved the performance of the reconnaissance ship, and the fully remodeled reconnaissance ship is named "Eye".The eyes have the function of long-distance cruise at 0.15 times the speed of light, and are far stronger than the previous generation of reconnaissance ships in terms of firepower, detection methods, camouflage capabilities, and hull strength.

In addition, Yuanxing Fleet also re-developed a small and medium-sized warship with a crew of 15, which was named "Strong Bow".The Strongbow ship can carry two hundred medium-range missiles, with two reinforced beam energy cannons on the top, a total of 64 kinetic energy high-speed machine guns using self-propelled bullets, and 32 small beam energy cannons on the outside.There are two types of strong bow ships, one is a manned warship, and the other is an unmanned ship equipped with artificial intelligence silicon chips, with certain self-learning and bionic logic.

However, the most quintessential achievement in the past 11 years is the multi-functional special ship "Flying Shuttle" jointly developed by Qianmen Shizi and the military industry research institute in the Yuanxing system.The flying shuttle has the ability to cruise at 0.2 times the speed of light, and is extremely flexible. The hull uses a lot of dismantling materials from the proliferating daughter of the mother emperor ship, and the surface also uses skin composite paint with critical stingers. " information flow interference device.So far, the entire fleet has only built nineteen ships, and they will only be equipped with the most elite fighters.Eighteen of them have been dispatched to the front to perform reconnaissance and early warning missions, and one remains in the Seeker spaceship on standby.

Sun Ai didn't ask Ren Zhong why he planned to use the shuttle, but told him after 5 minutes that he was ready.

An hour later, Ren Zhong got into the spaceship named Time by himself.

The spacecraft uses the principle of bionics, and its shape looks like a large manta ray.

This special shape greatly reduces the frontal projected area of ​​the spacecraft and reduces the probability of the spacecraft colliding with cosmic dust head-on during high-speed maneuvering.

The wider wings are covered with structures shaped like the breathing space of the human skin, which can suck cosmic dust into the interior and use it as a propellant for the jet medium engine.

In addition, a large number of bionic and electronic components have been integrated in the wings, and the layout has been re-arranged, with a high degree of integration.

It also has a long tail, in which there are nine strong magnetic field turbo-acceleration structures connected in series.These turbine structures can continuously accelerate charged particles to 0.21 times the speed of light, and push them out to provide reverse thrust, which can quickly increase the flying speed of the shuttle to 0.2 times the speed of light.

On the surface, the cruising speed of the shuttle seems to be similar to that of the water drop ship, but considering the long battery life and faster acceleration of the shuttle, the technical level of the two is not at the same level.

This flying shuttle can be said to be the essence of industrial design that combines all the wisdom of Yuanxing Academy of Sciences and Ship Academy of Sciences, just like a work of art.

At the same time, the appearance of the flying shuttle means that the Star Fleet has completely surpassed the level of colonial civilization in the design and manufacture of spaceships and reached a new height.

This speed of improvement is simply unbelievable.

You know, it has only been 11 years since Ren Zhong became a quasi-earl, and it has only been that long since the ban on technology was lifted, and the fleet is still advancing in the barren space of space, without sufficient external resources, and there is no way to build large-scale experimental equipment.

But even so, the speed at which the Origin Star Fleet absorbs and transforms the empire's technology seems to be unaffected at all.This fleet has become a sponge, siphoning off a huge body of knowledge.

This peculiar evolutionary speed aroused further vigilance of Nanxiang Bo Liu An.

During these 11 years, Liu An ordered his confidants to take advantage of the privileges of Uncle Nanxiang, the legal lord of the Nanxiang star cluster, to regularly take over the source star supernet nodes once a year to monitor the technological progress of the source star fleet, and to control this behavior. Its name is to guide the work, to help the source star fleet quickly digest the wealth in the giant colony cells of the mother emperor ship.

Liu An also changed his own recovery pattern, increasing the frequency from the original seven days every ten years to three days every year.

Liu An has "surprises" every time he wakes up.

He watched these humble colonists who were born in the colony grow up at an extremely fast speed.

This even made him hallucinate, thinking that the Origin Star Fleet is too evil, and the proportion of geniuses is too high.

Being able to fully absorb the empire's technology at such a fast speed can never be the credit of a certain person or a small group of people. It must be that at least one generation has produced a large number of smart and self-disciplined people in batches.

"The potential of the people in the Yuanxing colony is too terrifying. If I really want this group of people to arrive at Nanjiuxing and integrate into the empire smoothly, I'm afraid I may really capsize in the gutter."

Liu An was thinking about it.

……

The time shuttle quietly left the Seeker spacecraft, with an initial speed of 0.1 times the speed of light, after a short day of acceleration, it reached 0.2 times the speed of light, with a continuous acceleration of 35.43g.

With the help of the new deep-sea fluid buffer layer, Ren Zhong who was lying down did not feel any discomfort.

"Uncle, why do you want to come out alone? Although there is no danger ahead, you should stay in the Seeker spaceship honestly." Sun Ai finally couldn't help it, and asked.

Ren Zhong smiled and said: "Didn't we judge that the speed of information flow would change? We are about to leave the source sun for two light years, so we have to find out."

Sun Ai said suspiciously: "That should be someone else's business, how can you handle this matter yourself. You are also an earl after all."

Ren Zhong only smiled and shook his head, but did not answer.

He had a hunch in his heart.This intuition told him that he had to verify it by himself.

In the past six days, Time slowly slowed down.

According to the star chart, he is about to reach the dividing line.

Within the distance scale of two light years, the accuracy of the positioning technology provided by the Royal Academy of Sciences to the Viscount is that the error is not greater than 100 million kilometers.

Time has entered this area of ​​plus or minus one million kilometers, which means that he may perceive changes at any time.

The current flying speed of Shiguang is [-] kilometers per second, and it can stop at any time.

The heavy-duty spirit keeps high tension.

He smugly believed that he must be able to detect when the spaceship passed the boundary line of speed change through the information flow.

One hour and 43 minutes later, Sun Ai's exclamation suddenly sounded in the spaceship.

"The transmission speed of the information flow has become a thousand light-years per second!"

Ren Zhong asked in surprise, "How did you measure it?"

Sun Ai: "I first used the tester that came with the ship, but the distance was too short and the error was very large. I could only confirm that the transmission speed reached more than [-] light-years per second. Then I tried to The rear fleet conducts point-to-point communication to correct the error, and the measured value is infinitely close to [-] light-years per second."

Ren Zhong was stunned.

I don't feel it at all!

"Turn around and look at the changes."

In the next six hours, Sun Ai maintained real-time communication with Yuan Mercury located in the center of the fleet, and Ren Zhong also kept watching the information flow transmission speed calculated by simulation.

It's always been a thousand light-years per second.

After a long time, Ren Zhong waved his hand, "Stop, just wait here for the fleet headquarters, there is no need to go back."

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Ai noticed that Ren Zhong's tone was a bit bleak, it seemed a little empty, and seemed a little lonely.

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Nothing."

In fact, at this time, he could already be sure that the moment he flew out of the boundary, he had already lost his resurrection ability.

This happened very suddenly, without any warning, and there was no cosmic vision to show the sense of ritual. It made him, who had done a lot of psychological construction, seem to have punched cotton heavily.

He lay back in the driver's seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the deputy.

After a while, he opened the notebook he carried with him again, turned to the last page, looked at the number 7740, and lost his mind for a long time.

Then he picked up the notebook, raised his hand and threw it into the passage next to it, then switched the beam energy cannon to divergent mode and aimed it forward.

A diffused light beam blasted out from the muzzle of the front section of the shuttle, hit the notebook exactly, and decomposed it into elementary particles within 0.001 second.

"ended."

He muttered something in a low voice.

With 740 resurrections, he completed the accumulation of primitive abilities, and also made up for the knowledge generation gap between the "ancient man" in the 21st century and the Four Kingdoms era in this ancient pan galaxy, and changed the structure of the source star civilization. A base was left behind, and the title of Count of the Empire was also obtained.

Can't ask for more, it's done well enough.

"Phew! That's good, so I don't have to think about retreating when I do anything. For a long time, this has created inertia in my heart. Small troubles in a small area are enough, but when I have power in my hand After reaching the star cluster level, or even the star field level, even if the resurrection and reset can cover the entire universe, there will eventually be situations that make me powerless."

Ren Zhong thought so in his heart.

For example, in a certain period of time in the future, he encountered a large-scale attack covering a range of more than two light years.

There is only a one-month reset time for resurrection, and you can't even fly out. No matter how many times you resurrect, you will just die repeatedly.

The really correct way of thinking should be to act more cautiously, and don't let yourself fall into that situation at all.

Therefore, although the predictive ability is not as buggy as resurrection seems, it is more important in specific scenarios and in the face of specific needs.

There was no confusion or loss in his heart.
