Chapter 512: Space-Time Currents Between River Systems

A huge fleet is moving rapidly in the void, accompanied by the fluctuations of space, crossing the long distance again and again at an unimaginable speed.

This huge fleet, with a total of millions of fleets, forms a huge steel ocean in the void. The warships are brightly lit, and in the dark void, it is like a huge ocean of lights composed of fireflies.

Each space jump can travel thousands of light years away, and the speed is extremely fast. In the entire Milky Way, there are only a handful of civilizations that can master such advanced warp engines.

On the warships, the logo of the Yanhuang Empire, which came from the Orion spiral arm and rose only ten thousand years ago, is very eye-catching. The dragon flag composed of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River has long been known to the civilization of the Milky Way.

Behind the huge fleet of warships, the stars are bright and dazzling, but the void in the direction of the warships is very dark and dark. From here alone, we can know that the fleet of the Yanhuang Empire is flying towards the periphery of the Milky Way.

"Sure enough, it's almost the same as what I guessed. The space-time ocean currents between galaxies are just like the space-time ocean currents between star systems. They are all in the marginal zone. The space-time ocean currents connecting the Sculptor Galaxy are actually here in the Small Magellanic Cloud."

In a battleship, Tang Boyuan, a top scientist in the field of cosmic astronomy in the Empire, was looking at the virtual star map image at this time, touching his chin and saying thoughtfully.

This star map is the star map of the entire Milky Way, but there are more than a dozen small star clusters on the edge of this star map. One of the red lines is the route of the fleet's march. The destination is one of the small star clusters, the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the structure of the Milky Way. The center of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole, which is composed of the galactic center, galactic nucleus, galactic disk, galactic halo and galactic corona from the inside to the outside.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen satellite galaxies distributed in the area of ​​hundreds of thousands of light years around the Milky Way. Among them, the larger ones are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, and there are satellite galaxies such as the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy and the Ursa Minor Dwarf Galaxy. The Milky Way continues to grow by slowly swallowing the surrounding dwarf galaxies.

This time, the Small Magellanic Cloud, the destination of the imperial army, is one of the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. Although it is a satellite galaxy, it is actually a very large star body and can be regarded as a miniaturized Milky Way.

"When we surveyed the entire Milky Way, we didn't go to the outer periphery of the Milky Way. I didn't expect it to be here. I am very curious about the space-time ocean currents between Milky Ways and I really want to see it."

Dong Zhifei nodded at the side. People who study cosmic astronomy are like this. When they encounter any particularly novel cosmic astronomical phenomena, they always can't help but study them carefully.

"If it weren't for the galactic war, you and I probably wouldn't have had the chance to go to these satellite galaxies. These satellite galaxies can connect two huge galaxies, and the interests involved are too huge. The space-time ocean currents connecting the entire Milky Way to the surrounding galaxies are controlled by the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way. They make a lot of money and eat a lot of oil just by doing business between the two galaxies."

Tang Boyuan looked at the virtual star map. This space-time ocean current was like a bridge connecting the two galaxies, and it was the kind that traveled quickly. It was very useful for promoting communication. Of course, it also promoted the outbreak of the galactic war.

It doesn't need a very advanced warp engine. It only needs to use the space-time ocean current to invade another galaxy. Otherwise, the long distance between the galaxies, which is often calculated in millions of light years, will cut off the two galaxies like a natural moat.

Just like the space-time currents between stars, if there were no space-time currents, the entire Milky Way would not have its own home galaxy except for the galactic overlord civilization that mastered the warp engine. However, with the existence of space-time currents, any civilization can occupy a number of galaxies.

"The Small Magellanic System belongs to the Purple Wheel Eye Civilization. No one knows how rich the Purple Wheel Eye Civilization is. It has a share in the finance of the Milky Way. The space-time currents connecting the Sculptor Galaxy are also under the control of the Purple Wheel Eye Civilization."

Dong Zhifei nodded and said with some envy.

"There are gains and losses. The Purple Wheel Eye Civilization occupies the largest cake in the Milky Way, so it naturally bears the heaviest task. This time, the attack of the Sculptor Galaxy is probably not so easy to repel. I just hope that the war will not burn to the inner circle of the Milky Way, otherwise our empire..."

As he spoke, Tang Boyuan's face also showed a solemn expression. After Li Fu attended the Galactic Alliance meeting, he also convened a high-level meeting of the empire to report various matters and discuss the empire's response strategy.

In a galactic war, there are tens of trillions of fleets. Even the smallest combat unit is estimated to be stronger than all the military forces of the empire now. If the Galactic Alliance cannot resist, the empire in the northern galaxy will be in real danger.

"Good people will have good luck. The Galactic Alliance has fought with the surrounding galaxies many times. It is definitely not that easy to defeat them."

Dong Zhifei looked at the void in the distance, which was pitch black and gloomy. The further you go to the outer edge of the Milky Way, the more desolate it becomes. There is less vitality and less matter, and even stars are rare. When you reach the outer edge, the distance between stars is even farther, starting from more than ten light years. It is more desolate than the sub-spiral arm where the solar system is located. The star system is basically a barren galaxy, and there are very few life planets and civilizations.

The Small Magellanic Cloud, located in the constellation Tucana, is about 210,000 light-years away from the sub-spiral arm where the solar system is located, and about 236,000 light-years away from the core black hole of the Milky Way. It is the fourth closest galaxy among the known satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, second only to the Canis Major and Pegasus dwarf galaxies and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The Empire's fleet set out directly from the Orion spiral arm. With the support of a powerful warp engine, it took only more than a year to reach the Small Magellanic Cloud.

The fastest-growing field in the Empire in recent years is naturally biotechnology, but in terms of space technology, the Empire has the assistance of Sun Xinyuan, a powerful space force practitioner, so the development speed of the Empire's space technology is actually still good, but it is much slower than the development speed of biotechnology.

The Empire's warp engine technology is also constantly developing. It can jump thousands of light years away in one jump, and it is also the fastest civilization to reach the Small Magellanic Cloud hundreds of thousands of light years away.

The diameter of the Small Magellanic Cloud is about 10,000 light years, and the number of stars it has is only less than 10 billion. In the Small Magellanic Cloud, most of the stars are very young stars, very unstable, and there are basically no life planets in the star system.

As a bridgehead and frontier position to resist the attack of the Sculptor Galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud attacked the Purple Eye Civilization and the Galactic Alliance for countless years. The entire Small Magellanic Cloud is actually a huge barracks.

There are huge, neatly arranged, and innumerable space ports, space fortresses, space cities, etc. everywhere. The location assigned to the imperial army is on the edge of the Small Magellanic Galaxy, a star field called Hearst, which is responsible for the battlefield of tens of thousands of surrounding star systems.

Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei naturally don't need to worry about the settlement of the imperial army. As soon as they arrived at the Small Magellanic Galaxy, they hurried to the central area of ​​the Small Magellanic Galaxy, which is also the area where the space-time ocean current connecting the Milky Way and the Sculptor Galaxy is located.

"It is worthy of being the space-time ocean current connecting the two galaxies. It is really spectacular and breathtaking!"

On a space battleship, Dong Zhifei, Tang Boyuan and others were already stunned. In the void in front of them, a large area of ​​the void was flowing with colorful streams. The range was very wide. The diameter of the entire space-time ocean current was nearly 1 light year. Looking at it from a close distance, it seemed as if they were in a colorful world.

The entire huge entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current is not like the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current between stars in the Milky Way. Not only is the entrance and exit very huge, but it is also colorful and easy to find its existence.

The huge entrance and exit is like a huge heart, with colorful streamers constantly stirring in it. Is it possible that this huge entrance and exit will cause waves of space ripples in this void?

Around this entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, the Purple Wheel Eye civilization has built an extremely large defense system. There are three-dimensional defense systems composed of space fortresses, quantum foam bombs, space battleships, etc. in almost every space. Even a fly flying out of the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current can be discovered in the first time and destroyed cleanly.

The stars in the surrounding void have been moved by the Purple Wheel Eye civilization. Many stars are arranged in a very regular manner in the void, and seem to be arranged in a very peculiar formation. It seems that it is a terrifying and extremely terrifying weapon built by the Purple Wheel Eye civilization.

In the void at the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, the army of the Purple Wheel Eye civilization is very busy at this time. The neatly arranged space battleships, spacecrafts, large and small detectors, etc. are constantly flying into the space-time ocean current. Obviously, they also want to reach the Sculptor Galaxy through the space-time ocean current and try to find out some intelligence information first.

"Swish!"

Similarly, at the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current, from time to time, extremely terrifying purple energy beams will cut through the void, destroying everything flying out of the space-time ocean current. Both sides are now constantly testing.
