The Central Star Sea and the Broken Star Ring are separated by several star fields, with a large number of barren cosmos belts in the middle, and the distance is very far. Even if the subordinates of the Ability God took the high-level spacecraft of the ultra-high warp speed, it took several years to cross this section. If the distance is replaced by a non-transition conventional flight, I am afraid that the travel time will be in units of billions of years.
The first stop of the voyage fleet was the Cross-Star Gate Station built by the Scarlet Empire in Broken Starlink.
Cross-star gates can greatly shorten the journey, and are the only stable and fast way to cross star fields. Naturally generated wormholes are not included in this list.
The longer the crossing distance of the star gate, the more difficult it is to accurately locate it, and deviations are easy to occur. The cross-star channel is a technical threshold, and the star cluster-level civilization cannot do it. The Transcendent star cluster grade civilization has this kind of technology, but the three major civilizations stipulate that civilizations other than the three are not allowed to build cross-star domain stargates, so the cross-star domain stargates between the star domains are all from the three major civilizations. The products, controlled by them, are divided into civilian and military.
What Han Xiao and his party are going to borrow is the military channel, which is more convenient and fast. The senior allies of the empire belong to the privileged class and naturally have the authority.
"I have notified the defenders of the Stargate Station. If you report your identity, they will let you go and help you activate the military Stargate channel. When you arrive at the Constellation Corridor, there will be imperial troops there to receive you."
Sue said in the communicator.
The central star sea is the collective name of the three major civilization parent star fields, which are horns of each other and form the central area of the universe. These three star fields are the Abyss of Stars under the jurisdiction of the Radiance Federation, the bright silver spiral arm controlled by Ethereal Religion, and the territory of the Scarlet Empire - Constellation Corridor.
The Scarlet Empire's military stargate station in Broken Starlink is located in a star cluster on the edge. Starting from the Black Star Legion headquarters, borrowing stargates of various star cluster levels, plus full-speed transition, it will take more than half a month to arrive.
Han Xiao stayed in the voyage fleet and communicated with the elites of the empire such as Tainey all the way. His status was here, and he stayed in the same ship every day, looking down and not seeing him, most people formed a relationship with Han Xiao. Initial friendship.
Only Tenny's attitude is always lukewarm, if he is indifferent, he is suspicious by nature, and it is his habit to maintain vigilance.
However, Han Xiao has a good understanding of his character. If he takes the initiative to do what he likes, it will backfire and cause greater vigilance. Moreover, it is unlikely that he will surrender his status to please an imperial colonel. Therefore, Han Xiao Shows a non-discriminatory attitude and never communicates with Tainey alone.
According to Tenny’s hobbies, Han Xiao decided to wait for the rabbit. He is also a mechanic. There is a high chance that Tenny will take the initiative to ask for advice. After all, he is the empire’s own people. Where does the wariness come from, but there seems to be no need to pass up this opportunity.
After about ten days of departure, Han Xiao finally waited until Tenny knocked on his door.
…
"You want to learn my mechanics?"
In the room, Han Xiao asked Philip to control the floating housework robot and bring two cups of tranquil green plant drinks to the table, looking at Tenny and his adjutant Kerbers across the table.
Tenny nodded slowly, without touching the drink on the table, and said, "It's not a study, I just want to communicate with you."
This time, he asked others, so naturally he would not put on a cold face, put away some of his guards, and his attitude was sincere and lowered a little.
In his opinion, this is not ashamed. No matter what achievements he has in the future, for now, he is only a colonel of the imperial army, and there is a huge gap between Han Xiao's status and identity.
Han Xiao was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. He pointed his finger at the table, and asked knowingly, "I only know that you are a mechanical power user, and I haven't heard you say which branch of mechanic you tend to be."
"Pure mechanic, armed branch, I crossed the A-level boundary two years ago and became a natural disaster level." Tainey said.
"Well, although I'm not an armed branch, I can also teach you some experience." Han Xiao smiled. As a Transcendent A Grade, he still has the qualifications to teach people.
"This is exactly my request." Tenny nodded.
Each Transcendent A Grade mechanic has his own specialties, some are special personal styles, and some are unique techniques. At Tenny's current level, it is usually difficult to contact a Transcendent A Grade mechanic. At this time, there is the object of Black Star, and he does not want to miss the opportunity to ask for advice.
He had this idea when he first learned that he was going to come over for the transformation. After observing Han Xiao for a while, he decided to put it into action.
Han Xiao exchanged technology with him and chatted for several hours, but Tenny only felt that he had benefited a lot.
"Let's go here today." Han Xiao stopped talking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his finger deliberately clicked on the temple, and said: "I just transmitted some theoretical data to your communicator, some of which are summed up by me. Experience, some of them are technical theories I collected, you can take a look."
Hearing this, Tenny nodded and said, "Thank you very much then."
"You're welcome." Han Xiao waved his hand, held back his smile, and pretended to be casual: "It's okay on the road anyway, if you have any questions, you can come to me again."
"Okay." Tenny pulled out a smile, and his attitude was better. After all, eating people is short and soft.
Han Xiao knew that the benefits should be moderate, so he did not continue, and expressed his intention to see off the guests. Tenny saluted and left the room with a lot of brisk steps.
Looking at Tenny's back separated by the door, Han Xiao shook his head and smiled, feeling quite satisfied. With this relationship, the friendship between the two has room to continue to rise, and the favorability is about to reach "friendly". ".
"Having my identity, it is much easier to make friends with senior figures than before." Han Xiao secretly sighed.
If it is a player, there is almost no way to make friends with Tainey, and his situation is different. The current Tenny has not achieved as high as the previous life, his status is higher than Tenny, and he is an ally of the empire, the real one, under various factors, even if Tenny seems to be wary, he will take the initiative to send it to the door. .
The status gap brings bonuses. With Han Xiao’s current status, it is much easier to gain character favors than players.
…
For the next ten days, Tenny would come to ask for advice every other day. The relationship between the two gradually progressed and gradually turned into friends. As the saying goes, the master is the teacher. The future marshal of the empire is a student. Xiao get along.
Of course, because of his identity, he could not really be Han Xiao's student, but Transcendent A Grade is not obliged to impart experience. Han Xiao is so generous, which is not a small affection for him. Although Tainey is suspicious, he is not The guy who doesn't care about the good or the bad, remembering this kind of favor in his heart, naturally he will no longer keep away from Han Xiao.
On the other hand, every time Tenny came to ask for advice, he would bring Kerbers with him. Han Xiao also had a certain understanding of this character. The adjutant was loyal to Tenny, and Tenny was really good for his subordinates. Let this guy follow him. many additional benefits.
Han Xiao felt that he might be able to do something about Kerbers, just like chasing a girl and bribing her best friend was a shortcut. Treating Tenny, although he couldn’t bribe his loyal subordinates, but with Tainey’s love for Kerbers Take care, if you do Kerbers a big favor, maybe Tenny will be more likely to have a good impression of him.
More than half a month passed, and the voyage fleet finally arrived at the Empire's military stargate station in Shattered Starlink.
In the dark universe, a hexagonal star gate is suspended, and the rich space energy flows in the gate, presenting as a dark blue vortex, surrounded by empire heavy cosmic fortresses, stationed with defenders. Unlike the civilian site, there are no ships going in or out of the stargate here, only for Imperial forces.
As the fleet approached, the stargate continued to enlarge in the field of vision, and as it got closer, the upper, lower, left, and right edges of the stargate seemed to extend to the end of the line of sight. It was extremely huge and spectacular.
"Alert! Alert! Detected the locking of the nether energy annihilation cannon!"
The main ship where Han Xiao was located intelligently issued an alarm, and everyone did not change their expressions. They already knew that once they entered a range of the military stargate, they would be locked by the defenders.
"Stop advancing and report your identity." The main ship intelligently received the message from the defenders.
"Black Star." Han Xiao verified his identity.
After a while, the message of identity confirmation was received, and the defenders released the artillery lock and signaled the fleet to move forward.
At this time, the main ship received a communication request from the defenders. After connecting, a unsmiling guy who seemed to be the commander appeared on the screen and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency Black Star, Special Envoy Suy has already instructed us to set up a route for you in advance. This time, the stargate transmission is a direct mode, and the transmission location is the eighth star area of Chihuan, directly entering the empire's territory. There is a team over there. The guards sent by the mother star will respond to you, they will open a specific phase flight channel for you, and take you to make a second jump, only in this way can you pass through the nether energy forbidden ring around the mother star and reach the empire's mother star."
Han Xiao nodded.
The cosmos-level civilizations each have powerful weapons. In order to prevent the other party from going crazy one day, they used the super-horizon primitive nether energy annihilation to attack their home planet with one shot, so the home planets of the cosmos-level civilizations were arranged with various The high-end prohibition and defense measures seem to be covered with layers of filters. Only specific methods can enter and exit, and normal flight cannot enter at all.
Immediately, the commander looked at Tenny next to him, with a smile on his paralyzed face, "Tenny, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"It's you." Tenny's face was a little weird, "Why are you guarding the stargate here?"
"This is an order from a superior." The commander shook his head, his eyes showed a touch of bitterness, and he was pressed down by him.
This commander and Tenny are graduates of the Empire's "Journey" Advanced Military Academy at the same time. They know each other and have excellent grades. They should have a bright future, but Tenny didn't expect him to be stationed at the Stargate.
Stationing a stargate is not a good job, especially a military stargate. There is no chance for meritorious service. If something goes wrong, you have to be responsible. However, for the safety of the stargate, you have to send elite troops to guard it. Therefore, the officers stationed at the stargate must Either he was randomly assigned, or he was an unlucky person who was excluded in the factional battle, and no one would take the initiative to choose this position.
Hearing this, Tenny knew that this friend had obviously been hit hard in the factional struggle, so he shook his head helplessly, "Then you should be stationed, anyway, you will be transferred away after a few years, and you can use it as a peace of mind."
The rotation period of the star gate guard troops is not long, usually every six to ten years, and the empire will not sit by and watch the elite troops spend all the time at the star gate station.
After a short chat, the garrison commander ended the communication. At this time, the voyage fleet was about to enter the stargate.
A strong pulling force came from the other end of the stargate, which was not far away, like a black hole, trying to pull them all in.
The fleet entered the star gate, and the world outside the porthole instantly lit up.
The interior of the stargate channel is filled with violent space energy, but it is constrained by the stargate technology, creating a stable channel, as if from a beast to a tamed pet.
The movement of the spaceship seemed to be at a standstill, and everyone could not feel any sense of speed, as if the fleet had stopped in the stargate.
However, it seemed like only a moment later, the hull suddenly shook, the surrounding space energy light disappeared like a low tide, and the scene outside the porthole once again turned into a dark universe dotted with jewel-like stars.
The star gate that was originally located in the front was now behind the fleet.
The distribution of the surrounding fortresses has also changed, and the scale of the defenders at this Stargate Station is more than ten times larger than before.
A special fleet was waiting in front of everyone. The spacecraft had a distinctive appearance and seemed to be some kind of unpopular and rare spacecraft model.
drip...
At this time, each quantum network receiving terminal simultaneously received a regional broadcast from this special fleet:
"Welcome to the Central Star Sea, Your Excellency Black Star."
