Chapter 445, Sub-Spindle Defense System

The secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm of Orion are relatively parallel. Of course, this is only true in terms of the plane of the Milky Way. In fact, the distance between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm is about 300 light years, and the border between the two is more than 1,500 light years long and hundreds of light years thick.

There are only three routes connecting the main spiral arm and the secondary spiral arm, the Xileluo route, the Seville route, and the Blanca route. Because these three routes have star systems connecting the main spiral arm and the secondary spiral arm, the civilizations on the spiral arms can be connected through the space-time ocean currents between these star systems.

Otherwise, without mastering the warp engine, it would take more than 300 years to fly over the distance of more than 300 light years between each other, even at the speed of light. With such a long time, even if you finally fly over, the daylily will be cold.

The three golden routes are now firmly controlled by the empire. Through the three routes, the empire relies on the sale of arms and weapons to continuously obtain countless wealth from the many civilizations on the main spiral arm, but the empire is not dazzled by the current prosperity and huge wealth.

The empire, from top to bottom, knew that the battle in the Xile Luo galaxy had just begun, and the war with the Kolov Empire was far from over, and it was not even a halftime break.

In the void of the Xile Luo galaxy, Li Fu came here on the empire's latest biological space battleship. This time he was going to inspect the sub-spiral arm defense system that the empire had spent countless efforts to build.

Because the Kolov Empire was a civilization that could access the center of the Milky Way, the empire also concluded that the Kolov Empire could definitely buy warp engine space battleships from the center of the Milky Way. It was obviously unreliable to rely on the three golden routes to defend against the attack of the Kolov Empire.

The army composed of the Kolov Empire's warp engine battleships could easily bypass the three routes and reach the sub-spiral arm without passing through the space-time ocean currents. If they launched a sneak attack on the empire and headed straight for the empire's central galaxy, the Centaurus galaxy, the empire would not have time to defend.

So from the beginning, the top leaders of the empire formulated a plan to build a huge defense system in the void between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm. This defense system does not need to attack the enemy, but only needs to find the enemy's traces.

Once it is known that the enemy wants to enter the secondary spiral arm to attack the empire by warp flight, then the empire can adopt corresponding methods to deal with it, and will not be beaten dizzy without knowing anything.

Although it is just to build a system that can discover the empire, it is definitely an extremely huge project. The distance between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm is 300 light years, and the length is 1,500 light years, and the thickness is hundreds of light years. It is definitely not an easy task to build a monitoring and defense system in such a large range.

The spacecraft that Li Fu was riding on was flying directly in the void at warp speed, and soon came from the Xile Luo galaxy to the void of the Dark Abyss between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm. The origin of the Dark Abyss is that there are no stars in this area, and it is pitch black, so it is called the Dark Abyss.

"Your Majesty, the Xile Luo galaxy is the closest route to the other side of the starlight, so it is also the first choice for the Kolov Empire's army to attack. At present, we are also focusing on building a defense system near the Xile Luo route, and first complete the defense layout of the Xile Luo route."

Beside Li Fu, Wu Gang, who is responsible for building the secondary spiral arm defense system, opened the virtual imaging and began to explain to Li Fu in detail.

"Although it is only necessary to detect warships flying at warp speed, the scope involved is too wide, so this project is also very huge."

"There is no distinction between up and down, left and right, front and back in the universe. It is completely three-dimensional, so we must build a monitoring system in the entire range."

"Your Majesty, please look, we have launched a lot of monitoring detectors into the void. This spherical detector has a diameter of only 10 meters, but it has various detection systems on it, including energy detectors, space fluctuation detectors, gravitational wave detectors, etc. The monitoring detector has the latest technology magnetic field battery to provide energy, which is enough to support its perfect operation for 500 years."

"We are in the abyss of darkness. In the universe, one such monitoring detector is placed every 100,000 kilometers, and every 8 detectors form a three-dimensional space with a length, width and height of 100,000 light years, which can detect everything within the three-dimensional space clearly. "

"When countless such monitoring detectors are connected together, a large area of ​​the void can be monitored, and then the entire void between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm can be monitored step by step."

While explaining, Wu Gang demonstrated on the virtual imaging. One point represents a monitoring detector. Countless such points are connected to each other. Soon, a three-dimensional network was constructed, forming a huge net sandwiched in the dark abyss between the main spiral arm and the secondary spiral arm.

"The distance of 100,000 kilometers is the result of our strict calculation. Generally, if a large number of space battleships and spacecraft fly at warp speed together, its fluctuation range cannot be controlled within 100,000 kilometers. Even our empire's most advanced level 5 warp engine cannot control the space fluctuation within such a small range."

"By then, if the army of the Kolov Empire wants to enter the secondary spiral arm through warp flight to sneak attack our empire, it will be discovered by our monitoring system in the first time. We only need to calculate the time, direction, and jump distance of their warp flight. At that time, we can completely launch a counter-attack and catch them off guard."

Wu Gang seemed quite excited when he said this. He would be like this when he thought that the defense system he built might play a big role in future wars.

"What is the current progress?"

Li Fu nodded with satisfaction. If he wanted to build the secondary spiral arm into an iron barrel, building a monitoring system was only the first step. The first thing to do was to make sure that even a fly flying into the secondary spiral arm would not be able to hide from the eyes of the empire.

The secondary spiral arm originally has a natural geographical advantage, but this geographical advantage is of course gone in front of the warp engine. This is like the ground era. The rugged terrain will appear very weak after having an airplane. The enemy can easily cross the defense line you carefully built with the airplane.

Now the same is true. Facing a civilization that does not master the warp engine, the empire can be very clear that it only needs to defend the three routes between the secondary spiral arm and the main spiral arm. However, when encountering warp engine space battleships and spaceships, the enemy can directly reach the secondary spiral arm through the abyss of darkness.

"The current progress is very unsatisfactory. We have only deployed a monitoring defense system within a few hundred light years around the Xileluo route. Not even 10% of the total has been completed. We need more manpower, more resources, and more warp engine spaceships to complete the deployment."

Wu Gang shook his head helplessly. The range that needs to be deployed is too wide. There is no telling how many monitors need to be deployed.

"Only 10%? Too slow. I will continue to send you more people. You don't have to worry about resources. As for the warp spacecraft, I will allocate as many as possible to you. You must complete the defense system as soon as possible, 50% within 5 years, and all within 10."

Li Fu frowned in dissatisfaction. He didn't know when the Kolov Empire would attack the Empire again, but there was no doubt that the more prepared he was, the better. The Empire's army has not stopped expanding over the years. What they are afraid of is the Kolov Empire's army that may arrive at any time.

"50% in 5 years, 100% in 10 years, Your Majesty, this task is impossible to complete in such a short time. The scope of deployment is too wide. Even if you double the number of people for me, it is impossible to complete it in such a short time."

Wu Gang shook his head. Hearing Li Fu's words, he was immediately under great pressure.

"If 1 times the number of people is not enough, then 2 times, 2 times is not enough, then 5 times, and 5 times is not enough, then 10 times. In short, half of the work must be completed in 5 years, and all of it must be completed in 10 years."

Li Fu's eyes were shining. Compared with Wu Gang's pressure, the pressure on Li Fu's shoulders was really great. The rise and fall of the empire and the future of the nation could not be taken lightly, especially in the interstellar universe, where there were too many powerful civilizations.

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Fu's words, Wu Gang nodded decisively. Li Fu's will was the will of the empire. As long as the empire did its best to do something, it would definitely be done.

"Since part of it has been completed, let's test it to see if this system is useful."

Li Fu looked at the star map on the virtual imaging. There was a large network around the Xile Luo route. These were all areas that had been built and covered by the monitoring system.

The spaceship that Li Fu was riding was accompanied by waves of void fluctuations, and a space wormhole was opened. This spaceship, which looked like a shark, drilled into the space wormhole like a loach drilling a hole.

In the dark abyss somewhere between the main and secondary spiral arms, accompanied by waves of space fluctuations, the spaceship that Li Fu was riding once again flew out of the space wormhole.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Bursts of alarms sounded on the spaceship. These were the alarms issued by the monitoring and defense system. Li Fu looked up and suddenly found that there was an additional red dot in the network monitoring system, and the location was surprisingly the location of his spaceship.
