Chapter 685, Gate of Space and Time

There is a void in the direction of the Imperial Longju River leading to the Gross River. This place was originally a remote area of ​​the Longju River. It was sparsely populated and no imperial people settled within hundreds of light years.

However, in the past 100,000 years, this place has been very lively. The empire's military has circled the surrounding area of ​​thousands of light-years and classified it as a military restricted area. The Empire Space-Time Administration has moved this area from the Empire Star Hidden in the picture, ordinary spaceships cannot fly here at all.

A large number of spaceships from the Imperial Institute of Space-Time Science arrived here, and they were constantly busy in the entire void, exploring the surrounding void, mining planets, asteroids, meteorites, etc., and surrounding them in galaxies. Staring at the stars, huge space factories are constantly working, smelting something continuously.

In an empty void, space ports and space cities are distributed very regularly, showing a spherical shape that seems to surround an area in the middle.

The entire void is very busy, with spaceships and space battleships rising and falling, as well as small spaceships coming and going in an endless stream, brightly lit space cities and space ports, everything seems very busy.

The central area of ​​​​this area is even busier. Spaceships are constantly transporting something here. There are space ports lined up in the void. The universe is parked in the space ports, and the hatches are wide open. The robotic arm carries large parts out of the warehouse.

These parts are very huge, 10 kilometers long, 2 kilometers wide, and 1 kilometer high. Often a spacecraft can only transport one or two such large parts, and these spacecrafts are all specially modified spaceships. , is a spacecraft specially designed to transport these large parts.

After the parts were unloaded by the robotic arm, these spacecrafts quickly took off again, leaving the space free, because there were more spaceships waiting to be unloaded behind.

In the space port, the robotic arm transports the parts piece by piece to the assembly place. Although all the parts are large, they are all precisely designed and calculated. Like bricks, they are slowly assembled into a giant object. above.

At this time, the full picture of this object cannot be seen. All that can be seen is a huge pillar. This pillar is now millions of kilometers high, standing quietly in the void like an Optimus Pillar. Compared with this long stick, the space port leaning on this pillar seems very small.

Looking up, the void is very wide, as big as a solar system. Everywhere is very busy. I don’t know what the scientists of the empire are building. There are actually 4 huge pillars in the void that are under construction at the same time. put up.

"The progress is too slow. It's already been a hundred thousand years, and we haven't even completed 10% of it. Calculated, it may take us a million years to complete the project."

In a space port, Long Shaofei looked at the virtual image and was very dissatisfied with the current progress. As a new leader in the field of space science in the empire, he is now the person in charge of the major project here.

"Take your time, don't be anxious. We are laying the foundation for the first 100,000 years, and the progress will be faster and faster later. This space-time gate is not so easy to build. All the materials used are degenerate. Materials, even our empire is very wealthy now, but the empire’s finances have suddenly become tight over the years.”

"If we concentrate more power and financial resources to build the gate of time and space, our imperial prime minister may have to pull all his hair off. These are all degenerate materials. The space battleship only uses a layer of material on the surface. It’s just a layer, but here we use it in one piece, and we don’t know how many galaxies we have to hollow out to build it.”

Next to Long Shaofei, Yu An seemed very patient. He knew very well how much money the huge project in front of him cost. It was just piling up money and slowly pushing it forward. The most important thing was that it still needed time.

"I know it too, but if the theory of time and space teleportation is not tested, it will remain just a theory. But I can't wait any longer."

Long Shaofei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Long Shaofei was the first to realize the secret of space teleportation. Imperial scientists have made rapid progress in this field over the years. But if they want to develop further, practice is absolutely indispensable. This is true for everything. Theory must be consistent with practice. Collection can truly develop.

"Take your time, there's no rush."

Yu An smiled and looked into the void. Four huge pillars were still under construction day and night. Massive spaceships were constantly transporting large parts. These large parts and these four huge pillars It seems insignificant in comparison, just like the bricks and the Great Wall.

As time passed slowly, four huge pillars slowly formed in the void. After 300,000 years, the four pillars slowly formed a rectangular frame, somewhat similar to a window or door. The same structure, perfectly connected to each other without a trace of error.

By this time, this huge 'doorframe' can be clearly seen in space. It is more than 100 million kilometers long, as long as 1 astronomical unit, and 50 million kilometers wide. It is like a huge door spanning In the void of the universe.

In order to build this huge space-time gate, the Empire has dug out countless galaxies, mined all the planets, asteroids, meteorites, etc. in the galaxies, and used all the materials to create degenerate materials. Moreover, this huge space-time gate is not solid. If it were all solid, it would probably take out a large area of ​​the starry sky in the Longju River System.

The door frame composed of the huge space-time gate is engraved with complex patterns. Spacecraft are testing the entire huge project. If such a huge project fails, it means that the hard work of countless people for hundreds of thousands of years will be lost in vain.

There are 9 huge holes on this huge space-time gate. The diameter of each of these 9 huge holes is more than 5 million kilometers. All the engraved patterns seem to be engraved around these 9 huge holes.

The huge space-time gate, made of degenerate materials, has a very large mass. Near it, the space is twisted and folded, and it seems that the space cannot bear such a heavy space-time gate.

"Finally completed!"

Long Shaofei looked at the huge space-time gate standing quietly in the void and sighed. Just to build a space-time gate, the empire concentrated a large part of its power and still spent 400,000 years. The wealth consumed can no longer be measured by numbers.

"Next, it's time to install energy."

Thinking of this, Long Shaofei couldn't help getting excited again. The energy consumed by the space-time gate is very huge. Traditional energy output can no longer satisfy its huge appetite, so the scientists of the empire thought of the star array and directly picked the stars to use as the core energy source.

In the void not far away, a team is using optical magnetic traction technology plus space translation technology to rapidly fly a star with a mass of 1.5 times the mass of the sun to the direction of the space-time gate.

This team had received the task 400,000 years ago, to find a suitable star in the nearby void to serve as the core energy source for the space-time gate. It is obviously very simple to find a suitable star. The most difficult key is to transport the star to the location of the space-time gate.

The mass of stars is very large, and conventional means cannot move stars at all. Moreover, moving stars can easily cause gravitational chaos in the universe, which may cause chaos in the stars in the void, so moving stars is not an easy task.

Fortunately, the technology of the empire has developed to the present. Although it is difficult to move stars, it is not impossible. Among them, the combination of optical magnetic traction technology and space translation technology can also move stars. The principle of the so-called space translation technology here is actually very simple. When you regard space as a plane, you need to move an object on the plane. Apply influence in the corresponding direction to form a slope in this area, and naturally you can move the object on it.

Relying on two technologies to move stars, but the speed is definitely not very fast. After 400,000 years, there is still some distance from the area where the space-time gate is located.

There are a total of 9 teams like this. At this time, each team has been dragging a huge star towards the direction of the space-time gate.

These 9 stars are carefully selected, with a mass of about 1.5 times that of the sun, and most of their lifespans are between 4 billion and 6 billion years. The mass, size, age, and stability are similar.

Time slipped away quietly again, and the void where the space-time gate is located became brighter. Within the small void range around it, the 9 stars transported from afar constantly emit endless light, illuminating this void, as if entering the kingdom of God dominated by light, with a bright light.

"Install the star!"

All the conditions are ripe, and Long Shaofei has long been eager to conduct experiments and began to order the installation of energy power for the space-time gate.

A team slowly pulled a star towards the huge space-time gate. The hole reserved on the space-time gate is used to install the energy star of the Milky Way. The diameter of a hole is 5 million kilometers, which is more than enough to install a star.

PS: Sorry for the long wait!
