Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 374 Broken Galaxies and the Imperial Fleet

"Keep diving, they won't be able to find us."

Lu Feng's expression froze, and he calmly and quickly ordered, "Scan the enemy fleet, I want to know how many warships the empire has deployed in this galaxy."

"okay."

March Seventh was very cautious. Instead of using the easily exposed electromagnetic wave radar, she used a long-range optical sensor to adjust the heading a little bit to obtain a suitable peeking angle.

Everyone in the bridge watched the main holographic image silently, and the second galaxy that humans arrived after leaving the earth gradually became clear.

It's a desolate, broken galaxy.

In the center of the galaxy there is a star that emits a cold blue light, and only two isolated rocky planets are revolving around it, and there are meteorite belts of unprecedented scale interspersed between each other's orbits. It can be said that on the ecliptic plane of this galaxy, The orbits of the planets are all separated by vast bands of meteorites.

According to estimates on March [-],

With such a large amount of meteorites, it would be unreasonable if one or two rocky planets have not been crushed here. It is hard for human beings to imagine how powerful it is to bombard a hard rocky planet so shattered.

This is not only a sea of ​​meteorites, but also a deep space mine for human beings.

The reconnaissance images show that more than a dozen imperial mining outposts have been deployed on the edge of the orbit of the third planet where meteorites are most dense, and it is also the place where a planet is most likely to be shattered.

A large number of mining drones are entering and leaving the meteorite belt, apparently surveying the distribution of mineral veins and precious ingredients around them.

Cosmic treasures like stardust are generally only formed in the core of the planet.

If you can find a few stardust veins here, then the owner here will be able to get rich overnight. Looking at those mining machines raging like greedy greenflies, you can feel the full enthusiasm of the remote controllers behind them.

To this end, a huge interstellar fortress is being built on the outermost orbit of the galaxy.

Judging by its diameter, it will be a giant man-made celestial body. Lu Feng has no doubt that if the mining industry here can flourish, then the fortress in front of him will definitely develop into a super space city.

"It seems that the imperial people only discovered this place recently, otherwise they would have no reason to be indifferent to such a rich mineral vein, and we still have a chance to snatch it!"

Lin Yuexi supported the back of Lu Feng's chair with both hands, jumping and jumping excitedly, the word "money fan" was written in her beautiful eyes.

Lu Feng looked back amusedly, and explained patiently.

"Xiaolin, not all meteorite belts represent wealth. A large part of meteorite belts are useless rocks and cheap iron ore. These basic minerals are everywhere in the universe, so there is no need to look far away.

Also, do you think space mining is easy?
This also depends on the environment. If there is a lonely metal planet in the universe, then all mining companies will flock to it.

If this metal planet turns into a metal meteorite, its attractiveness will drop a lot.

If this meteorite is mixed with a large number of impurities that are difficult to separate, and is surrounded by hundreds of millions of the same meteorites, then the forces that want to mine it need to carefully calculate the risks and costs. "

"I know the cost. Asteroids with more impurities are more expensive to mine, but where does the risk come from?"

Lu Feng patted his little hands on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "Not every miner has your flying level. Flying in the meteorite belt is a very dangerous thing, especially when operating a heavy mining barge. If you don't pay attention, you will be smashed into space junk by the meteorite that suddenly changed lanes."

Lin Yuexi patted Lu Feng's hand away, stretched out her fingers and poked his face, "Then why not use unmanned mining machines? Aren't these imperial people using them now?"

Lu Feng grabbed the little hand that was making trouble on his face and held it in his palm.

"There are many grades of drones. High-end drones can sensitively avoid meteorites, but the cost is naturally high, requiring high-grade CPU, bandwidth and algorithms.

As for those used by the Empire now,
They are some prospecting drones, which are small and flexible. If they are mining drones dragging a heavy cargo warehouse, the risk of going deep into the meteorite belt will naturally be too high. "

Lin Yuexi gave up struggling, "Okay then, shall we still take care of this?"

"Of course we have to take care of it, not to mention that this is the ultimate road to the Skyrim Star, this Broken Star Ring is an excellent defensive barrier and foundry.

This place can only belong to Shentang! "

"I understand the defensive barrier, but what about the foundry?" Lin Yuexi asked suspiciously.

"I just said that iron ore is a very cheap mineral vein in the universe, but it is also a mineral vein that is indispensable for human development, and the demand is huge.

Therefore, when iron ore is purchased in a place with scarce resources, the freight of iron ore will be more expensive than the iron ore itself.

As a result, all parties tend to search for nearby iron ore resources and process them nearby when constructing large-scale steel projects, and then directly pull them to the construction site.

Therefore, if we want to build large-scale ships in the future, or manufacture artificial celestial bodies, giant structures, or recover cornerstone materials, we will need to use these meteorites.

If a shipyard is secretly built here, it will not only be hidden, but also obtain countless low-cost raw materials nearby, which is really perfect. "

When Lu Feng said this, Lin Yuexi understood. She tilted her head and asked with a smile:

"It's a beautiful idea, but how are you going to snatch this galaxy under the nose of the empire?"

Lin Yuexi pointed to the fleet image clearly listed on the side of the main screen:

"Well, there are 3 Jaeger-class ships, 24 Arquitect-class ships, and hundreds of destroyers and patrol ships. No matter how you look at it, they are not easy to mess with, right?"

Needless to say, Lu Feng also saw the information on the Imperial Fleet calculated on March [-]th.

It can be seen that in addition to the Imperial Navy logo, the ships here are also sprayed with the family badge of Earl Kurt Marsh, which is the same as the logo of Baron Nat's fleet that arrived at Skyrim.

In Lu Feng's memory, the establishment of the Imperial Fleet is generally centered on 4 capital ships, and 8 times the number of secondary capital ships, as well as several light ships, special ships, and logistics ships, forming a complete space strike group. Proclaim the mighty power of the empire across the stars.

Although the establishment is similar, the ship model creates the difference in the fleet level.

For example, the capital ship in the main fleet of the empire is generally a battleship, and if it is an ace, a dreadnought will be added as the flagship;

And the fleet in front of us uses battlecruisers as the main force, which means that this is a second-line fleet;
Fleets further down may only use cruisers as capital ships, only the level of third-rate fleets.

A few days ago,
The Jaeger-class that Baron Nat took away, if nothing else, should be one of the 4 capital ships stationed here, and the same is true for the other 8 Arquitect-class light cruisers. After leaving a quarter of this garrison fleet, they never returned.

The remaining three-quarters of the imperial fleet is still a colossus for the Skyrim Alliance Army, and has a clear advantage in military strength.

Now, the movement of this fleet is somewhat abnormal.

Lu Feng touched his chin.

It seems that I can't wait any longer, and I'm going to meet Baron Nat?
This will not work.

……

　The unit came to audit, and said that the audit of this species is not heart-wrenching. I waited for a day, but the two ancestors threatened to stay for another 10 days and a half months. What can I say, I can only wish them good health. !I'm too busy today, so I only wrote one chapter, sorry.
