Chapter 342 Wormhole Expressway and Ruins (Additional Chapter for Saber Knight)
There are no electronic devices in these elevators. The elevators are lifted and lowered by the space station to pull up and lower the steel cables.
Every night at eight o'clock, the Corruptor miners need to stack the excavated minerals into containers and put them in the elevators.
After the minerals in the elevators are loaded onto the transport ship and taken away, the space station will put the Corruptors' survival supplies into the elevators and transport them to the ground.
In order to prevent the Corruptors from escaping along the elevators, each elevator will be scanned and disinfected at high temperature in the isolation cabin when it rises, and the vacuum for up to half an hour will make any Corruptors who try to sneak in dead.
After the elevators are lifted into the space station, there will be robot troops guarding the elevator door. Even if there are Corruptors who can avoid the previous review procedures, they cannot break through the defense line of the combat robots.
It can be said that once they are put on this planet, in order to survive, they can only continue to mine minerals for the empire.
If you want to get more luxury goods, such as cigarettes, alcohol, stimulants, small movies, etc., then these Corruptors need to work overtime. The more minerals they dig, the more luxury goods they get.
Through this incentive method, these corrupted people feel that there is still a glimmer of hope in life and it is not worth dying, which can also increase their enthusiasm for mining.
Since these corrupted miners replaced the miners of the empire, the collection of this amethyst has been rising steadily. As more corrupted captives are transformed and sent to the starless star, the empire's latest beam weapons will soon be popularized throughout the army and put into the battlefield.
Just after Runas arrived on the starless star and began mining, the imperial fleet in the distance had already advanced to the heartland of the corrupted civilization.
Because the corrupted fleet had been completely lost, the imperial fleet's advancement was extremely smooth, and it was basically in a state where it only needed to fight for half an hour in a star system, and then leave after the battle.
A lot of time was wasted on the road, which also made Li Mingze hate it.
If the time on the road could be saved, his fleet should have flattened the star field of the corrupted people long ago!
It seems that the wormhole high-speed channel is about to be prepared for construction. Li Mingze sat at the desk in the flagship lounge with his chin in his hand and thought.
The technology of the wormhole channel comes from the wormhole generator under the current Sith Star.
After cracking some of the key technologies, the Empire has been able to activate a wormhole in a small range.
However, due to technical limitations, the size of this wormhole channel is still very awkward. It can only pass through warships below the battleship, and the energy consumed is an astronomical figure. The Empire can only rely on stars to build this wormhole.
However, once the wormhole channel is built, the journey that originally took ten days to fly using the existing hyperspace technology will only take one day to reach the destination in the wormhole channel.
This speed is very important for the Empire, which has now spread its territory to the Corruptor Civilization Star Territory.
And with the improvement of technology, the cruising speed of the Empire's warships will increase, and the speed of passing through the wormhole will be greatly improved. In the future, it will even take only one hour to reach the destination.
Unlike the need to move the entire planet, the speed of a spacecraft that can move at high speed by itself through a wormhole is much faster than that of the original Sith Star or Earth.
The high-speed connection between star systems means that the mobility of the population will be greatly enhanced, and some minerals and organic matter that cannot be transmitted by some material transmission equipment will also circulate more rapidly, and the development of the Empire will move to a new level.
However, the construction of such a wormhole high-speed network requires a lot of resources. It not only requires the construction of a giant wormhole exciter, but also the construction of an energy extraction station next to the star.
Thinking of this, Li Mingze's thoughts drifted to the Dyson sphere again. He remembered that the space merchant seemed to want to sell him the blueprint of the Dyson sphere.
If the Dyson sphere can be built, the huge energy obtained at that time will be enough to build a wormhole high-speed network, and even a wormhole channel between two planets in the same star system will be feasible.
At that time, the empire will be able to try any engineering project that requires a lot of energy, such as the transformation of the planetary environment.
"Your Majesty, one of our fleets has discovered a large number of Corruptor warship wreckages on the outskirts of a star system. These Corruptor warship wreckages look very old."
"Not only that, our scanner cannot scan it. A layer of energy barrier blocks our observation of this star system, including visually blocked by this barrier. We can only observe this star system through gravity!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this star system should be the Light of Faith Fortress left by the previous generation of civilization!" Tianyi's voice interrupted Li Mingze, whose thoughts were flying.
"Oh? Fleet No. 7." Li Mingze's eyes lit up when he heard the news!
Li Mingze, who had picked up a lot of good things in the starting ring world and was full of oil, now hoped most to find another relic of the previous generation of civilization.
Now he couldn't wait to know what good things were in this fortress used by the previous generation of civilization to resist the Zerg.
"Your Majesty, this star system was discovered by Fleet No. 3." Before Tianyi finished speaking, Li Mingze cut off the connection with this body and came to the hibernation chamber on the flagship of Fleet No. 3.
Getting up from the hibernation chamber, Li Mingze grabbed a towel prepared by the side to wipe his body clean, put on power armor and entered the bridge.
"Welcome, Your Majesty." All the officers on the bridge immediately stood up and saluted.
Li Mingze waved his hand and sat on his command seat.
"How is the situation? Did you find anything?" Li Mingze asked after taking a sip of hot tea handed over by an officer.
"No, Your Majesty. All the drones we launched into this star system have lost contact."
"However, the drone we set up the return procedure returned intact. This energy film only blocks communication, but will not harm the drone." The temporary commander of the fleet replied.
"Order the Orbital Airborne Force to immediately organize two suicide squads of 100 people to enter on transport ships."
"If it's safe, return and report the message." Li Mingze waved his hand and ordered.
After a while, two transport ships full of kamikaze soldiers left the imperial fleet and flew towards the star system covered by the wreckage of the Corruptor warship.
As the transport ship entered the wreckage zone of the Corruptor warship, both transport ships disappeared.
It was not until more than ten hours later that the two transport ships slowly returned to the empire's fleet.
"Your Majesty, it is very safe inside. We have not encountered enemies or automatic weapons." The captain of the returning death squad reported to Li Mingze.
