No opening of the space channel was detected, and no trace of the transition was detected.
However, the Galaxy appeared here without any warning.
This surprised everyone in the Hangu Pass Command Center.
What technology does this battleship use
At this moment, Bai Zixuan, who was more than 100,000 light-years away, finally restored communication with the Galaxy, and his heart that had been hanging around relaxed.
The distance of 160,000 light-years took a total of 48 minutes and 17 seconds!
Perhaps, this is a very low efficiency compared to space teleportation.
However, as mentioned before, hyperspace technology has advantages that space transmission technology cannot match.
The most important thing is that this is only the first generation of hyperspace engine, and this technology still has a lot of room for improvement! !
It didn't take long for the first test report on the hyperspace engine to be placed in front of Lin Fan.
Originally, Lin Fan just planned to wait for Bai Zixuan to develop the inter-galaxy-level space teleportation technology, and then immediately start the land reclamation plan for outer galaxies.
However, what he didn't expect was that Bai Zixuan, who had the Dark Star, was very disdainful of the inter-galactic space transmission technology he was given, and directly left it to his subordinates to study.
The most Bai Zixuan himself does is check the progress every once in a while and provide guidance on technical problems. Most of the rest of the time is devoted to the Dark Star.
What Lin Fan didn't expect was that Bai Zixuan would develop this technology within just a few years.
Although there is still a big gap compared to the hyperspace engine on the Dark Star, but at least it is there, right
After that, you only need to study it step by step and gradually launch the second and third generations!
As for the military use of the hyperspace engine, how could Lin Fan, who is now the commander-in-chief of the Federation Fleet, fail to see it.
Although space teleportation is fast, it requires a special device. After all, a battleship cannot teleport itself, right
The other issue is combat efficiency.
If it is a large-scale battle and using space teleportation, it will take a lot of time to teleport the entire huge fleet to the front line.
Even if you use a super star gate, it will take at least an hour to send 100 million warships up. After all, the star gate is so big, and the number of warships that can pass through at a time is extremely limited.
However, the hyperdrive has no such problem and can be installed in every battleship.
Therefore, no matter how large the fleet is assembled, it will not be affected at all.
Of course, this does not mean that space transmission technology is useless and can be eliminated!
In fact, it still has certain advantages in the rapid delivery of small-scale troops. In addition, it also has an irreplaceable position in civilian use.
For example, the stargate network now spreads across the Federation.
In the past, when you wanted to travel from one planet to another, you had to first take a shuttle ship to space, then take a spaceship to jump to the orbit of the target planet, and finally take a shuttle ship to the surface of the planet. .
Since the Federation used small star gates to form a star gate network, people can travel directly to the target planet without even taking a spaceship. Instead, they can pass through the star gate within the planet and directly reach the target planet.
Convenient!
Therefore, we can only say that each has its own advantages. Of course, from a military perspective, the hyperspace engine must have more advantages!
Soon, a year flew by, and it was now the 114th year of the federal calendar.
Nowadays, many galactic teleportation arrays created through inter-galactic space teleportation technology have been deployed on each main spiral arm.
And the civilizations on each main spiral arm have also begun vigorous plans to migrate to outer galaxies.
Not to mention, just like the information given by humans, since there is no Star Way in other galaxies, civilization develops extremely slowly, as if there is an invisible barrier that blocks all civilizations from the fourth-level civilization. , still unable to take that crucial step.
You must know that without the Way of Stars, it is difficult for a third-level civilization to expand. Generally speaking, having three or five star systems is considered a strong third-level civilization.
After all, without the Star Way and without the jump technology of the fourth-level civilization, the third-level civilization can only conduct space navigation at sub-light speed.
The distance between two star systems is calculated in light years. Just rely on sub-light speed engines to travel to other star systems. It will not take more than a few decades. You don't even have to think about it.
Even some civilizations that have been in existence for tens of thousands of years generally have no more than 5 star systems in their territory. Otherwise, it would be impossible to effectively manage the voyages that would take decades!
Only some civilizations with extremely high talent potential can overcome this difficulty and achieve level four civilization!
In short, according to the reports of various affiliated civilizations, among the more than ten galaxies that have been visited so far, only 5 galaxies have Level 4 civilizations, and they are all only extremely weak Level 4 early stage civilizations.
Not to mention the Vera Alliance, even some third-level civilizations that have hired fleets from other fourth-level civilizations to escort them are not something that those civilizations that have barely entered the fourth level can fight against.
Therefore, the entire migration plan is proceeding extremely smoothly. According to this progress, all civilizations in the galaxy will be able to migrate as planned in up to 10 years.
However, Lin Fan's main focus was not on this aspect. After all, such a result had been expected! —
2.2 million light-years away from the Milky Way, on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy.
"Is this the Andromeda Galaxy?"
Lin Tian stood in the bridge, looked at the starry sky outside the ship through the portholes, and said to himself.
Speaking of the Andromeda Galaxy, its diameter is about 1.6 times that of the Milky Way, and its number of stars is more than ten times that of the Milky Way, reaching more than 1 trillion.
It can be said that in the Local Group of galaxies, the remaining 49 galaxies combined do not have as many stars as the Andromeda Galaxy.
This shows how fertile the Andromeda Galaxy is.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy, which is different from the spiral structure of the Milky Way. Therefore, it does not have so many main spiral arms and secondary spiral arms like the Milky Way. The result is relatively simple, with only two It's just a spiral arm, extending from both sides of the rod end.
Today, a galaxy-level fleet led by Lin Yu is located at the end of the main spiral arm in front of Andromeda, and at the same time, it is also at the edge of the galaxy.
However, even at the edge of the galaxy, according to the astronomers on board the ship, the density of stars here is almost the same as some of the rich star fields on the four main spiral arms of the Milky Way.
"How rich is the Andromeda Galaxy?"
After listening to the report of the astronomer on board the ship, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
