Chapter 277, Canis Major Galaxy
Li Fu was naturally very concerned about the expeditionary army organized by the United Front of the Earth to counterattack the Canis Major Galaxy, so he asked Xiaoying to quietly release some tracking equipment. Li Fu was also very clear about the every move of the expeditionary army.
In 5 years, the expeditionary army of the Earth finally arrived at the Canis Major Galaxy 8.6 light years away through the ocean currents of time and space, and was about to start a great war.
In the Kuiper belt area of the Canis Major Galaxy, facing the direction of the solar system, the distance from the star Sirius in the Canis Major Galaxy is more than 30 astronomical units. The light of Sirius shining here is not much different from the light of countless stars in the void.
This is a silent, dark, and cold world!
In the void, huge space battleships and spaceships kept flashing out, as if they appeared out of thin air, without any summons.
"Huashan" and "Alps", these two huge space battleships took the lead. After five long years, no one knew what they had experienced in the space-time ocean current. At this time, each of these two space battleships was scarred. Several large holes could even be seen on the "Alps" space battleship, and one large hole even went straight through this huge space battleship.
"Huashan" was in a relatively better state, but it was still obvious that it had also experienced multiple meteorite impacts. There was a scratch on the side that was several kilometers long and tens of meters deep. Even the two words "Huashan" on the spacecraft had been scratched by small meteorites, leaving traces on it.
The two space battleships were much better than the fleets led by Skat~Yong and Skat~Zhi at the beginning. Scientists speculated that this was probably a confirmation of an old saying that there was no road in the world, but there would be a road naturally after walking more. The same is true for space-time ocean currents. After walking a few more times, the risk is lower and the safety factor is higher.
Following the two huge space battleships, more than ten escort space battleships such as "Hengshan", "Songshan", "Taishan" and so on also flew out of the space-time ocean current and appeared in the void. The status of these space battleships was even better, because there were two large space battleships in front to open the way. These space battleships suffered very little damage, and some space battleships did not even have any damage, which was very lucky.
"Finally arrived at the Canis Major galaxy!"
On the "Huashan" space battleship, the commander of the "Huashan" space battleship, Admiral Xue Yue, who was also the commander of the entire expeditionary army, looked at the starry void outside and breathed a long sigh of relief. It was not pleasant to be always on edge in the space-time ocean current. He would rather fight the enemy on the battlefield with real swords and guns than be unable to control his own destiny.
"Report the situation on each battleship!"
Without any hesitation, Xue Yue began to issue orders to each space battleship to see the status of his fleet. He came to the Canis Major galaxy and entered the territory of the Loen Empire. There was no doubt that war could break out at any time.
"The Alps is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired."
"The Hengshan is in good condition and can be put into battle at any time!"
"..."
Soon, the commanders of the warships began to report to Xue Yue. After listening to the reports, Xue Yue was slightly relieved. The combat effectiveness of the entire fleet was basically intact, and there would be no problem even if they were to fight against the people of the Loen Empire now.
"All warships, listen to the order, stop moving forward, and rest."
"Launch detectors and monitoring equipment. I need to know the detailed information of the Canis Major Galaxy and the Loen Empire as soon as possible."
"Send information to the earth immediately and report our detailed situation."
Xue Yue began to issue orders one by one. Arriving at the Canis Major Galaxy, the real test came. He knew very well that it would not take long for the Loen Empire to discover him, and even now he had discovered him.
The huge fleet began to operate frantically. On the huge space battleships, the lights that were not turned on originally to save energy were also turned on, and the hatches were opened. Small spaceships, space fighters, etc., dragged long tail flames and began to travel between the space battleships.
The escort space battleships began to adjust their formations around their core battleships. Each of the two space battleships, "Huashan" and "Alps", was firmly surrounded by 8 escort space battleships.
Here on the "Alps" space battleship, scientists and engineers began to get busy. Spaceships, space fighters, etc. began to move parts from the warehouse to repair the space battleship, trying to restore this huge space battleship to a perfect state.
Countless detectors, monitoring equipment, detection satellites, small unmanned spacecraft, etc. in the void were spread out in all directions without cost, especially towards the inner circle of the Canis Major galaxy. The expeditionary force knew that it could not hide from the people of the Loen Empire, so naturally it was not afraid of being discovered by them. What they wanted now was to grasp the situation of the Canis Major galaxy and the Loen Empire as soon as possible, so as to formulate a combat plan.
"Ding! Ding!"
The various scientific instruments carried by the expeditionary force were fully turned on, and countless detectors were launched. Soon, various data were fed back.
"Sirius has a diameter of about 2.51 million kilometers and a mass 2.1 times that of the sun."
"The Canis Major galaxy has twelve planets. The planet where the Loen Empire is located is located on the fifth planet from the inside to the outside, about 6.7 astronomical units away from Sirius."
"Lorn, with a diameter of about 11,000 kilometers, a mass of 0.86 times that of the Earth, a surface area of 450 million square kilometers, a land area of 310 million square kilometers, a rotation period of 30.2 hours, and an orbital period of 723 days..."
The data about the Canis Major Galaxy, especially Lorn, quickly gathered here at Xue Yue. On the huge display, the detailed information map of the entire Sirius was constantly being improved.
"It doesn't make sense. Isn't Lorn too far away from the star? It's 6.7 astronomical units away. It's almost the same position as Jupiter in the solar system. At such a long distance, its temperature should not be high."
"Oh, that's why. Sirius has a large mass and its brightness is thousands of times that of the sun. This means that even at a long distance, it can still obtain sufficient light and energy, which means that there are conditions for the birth of life."
Beside Xue Yue, Zhang Heng, a top astronomical scientist from the Huaxia Tianwen Science Research Institute, carefully studied the detailed information of the Canis Major Galaxy. When he encountered doubts, he thought carefully and soon solved them.
"Tsk tsk, although the orbital period of this planet Lorn is a bit longer, it takes almost 2 years to complete one orbit, but its autobiography is not much different from that of the Earth. Its land area is as much as 310 million square kilometers, which is almost twice the land area of the Earth!"
"Such a vast land, if we can occupy Lorn..."
When Zhang Heng saw the data on Lorn, he couldn't help drooling. The vast land of 310 million square kilometers is twice the land area of the Earth, which is very attractive to the current Earthlings.
"310 million square kilometers? Inform everyone of this good news, and immediately send detailed information about the Canis Major Galaxy and Lorn back to Earth."
Xue Yue, who was standing by, also smiled after hearing this. The Earth expeditionary army worked tirelessly to explore the Canis Major Galaxy. The purpose was actually very simple, that is, for interstellar colonization. The size of the land area on this life planet is also very important.
The land area is large, which means that if they can win, everyone will gain more. The land area is twice the size of the Earth. With such a vast land, if they defeat the Loen Empire and occupy it, the people on Earth will not have to worry about the Earth's expanding population for a long time. There are enough resources and land to use.
"Haha, thank God for the gift!"
Upon hearing the news, millions of people in the entire fleet shouted excitedly, especially those from Western countries. They recalled the glory of their ancestors and imagined that they could become great historical figures like Columbus and create an era of colonization of the stars and the universe.
Their traditions have always been full of adventurous spirits. Western culture and history also worship heroes very much. Personal heroism is more prevalent. The Western world is also very enthusiastic about interstellar colonization and cosmic expansion. Otherwise, as soon as Tang Yunshan mentioned this topic, the Western world would strongly support him.
Just when the Earth expeditionary army was excited about the prosperity and wealth of the Canis Major Galaxy and Loen Star, Loen Star, which is more than 20 astronomical units away, was here.
Like the Earth, Loen Star is a very beautiful, dazzling, bright planet that exudes a charming aura of life. In the outer sky of Loen Star, countless space buildings are densely dotted in space, huge space factories, space farms, extremely busy space ports, countless spaceships, aerospace planes, etc. are shuttling in the void.
Very busy, but orderly. The Loen Empire has unified this planet for hundreds of years. With the advent of the technological era and the improvement of productivity, the living standards of the people of the Loen Empire have continued to improve, and the rule of the Loen Empire has become more and more stable.
At this time, in the palace of the Loen Empire on Loen Star, the emperor of the Loen Empire, Skatu~36, was very rare to be idle, listening to music and carefully feeling the charm contained in the music.
"Dong! Dong!"
A series of untimely sounds rang in the empty hall, and Skatu~36 couldn't help frowning. He knew that someone was coming towards him, and the sound seemed to be very urgent, so something must have happened.
"Your Majesty, an alien civilization is going to attack our Loen Empire!"
