Chapter 716: Unexpected Discovery

The Eye of the Empire No. 1 space station, which is suspended next to the portal, is almost complete.

All its components have been connected together. The only step that has not been completed is to weld the external armor of these components together.

However, welding the armor will not affect the startup of the space station. After receiving the order from Li Mingze, the staff stationed in the space station decisively ordered the drones to stop.

"Eye of the Empire is ready for the first startup! Countdown!"

"The countdown is over! Energy begins to be connected, Eye of the Empire is turned on!" With the shout of the person in charge of the space station, the staff in front of the console pressed the switches in their hands one after another.

Bang, bang, bang, one by one, the headlights lit up outside the space station, illuminating the entire space station.

The silver-white umbrella-shaped scanning device began to slowly unfold, and there was a layer of transparent film between each unfolded umbrella-shaped structure.

Soon, the upper and lower "umbrellas" were opened to the maximum. From a distance, the space station seemed to have become an upright diamond crystal.

The silver-white shell of the scanner shone brightly against the backdrop of the white stars not far away, and blue currents flowed under the armor, spreading to the outermost end of the umbrella-shaped structure.

At this time, all the hyperspace detectors in the entire galaxy failed at the same moment.

However, the failure time was very short, less than one femtosecond, and the staff of each civilization did not notice the abnormality at all.

If it had not been recorded in the system archives, these civilizations might not know what happened at this moment.

The interference from hyperspace made these hyperspace detectors unable to work, but because the time required for the Imperial Eye to scan was very short, these devices would return to normal so quickly.

Although the scanning time required was less than one femtosecond, recording the scanning results and performing data analysis was the most time-consuming!

The trajectories of all energy operations in the entire galaxy were scanned and recorded by this device. You can imagine how huge this data is!

If the Empire had not installed the most powerful computer that the Empire could currently manufacture for it early, just receiving the scanned data would have caused the entire system to crash!

However, even with the Empire's most powerful supercomputer at present, it would take a full hour to organize the scanned information.

After the information is organized into a readable state, the system must also screen the information and find the energy fluctuations caused by the stars, planets, and satellites from the data.

And the energy trajectory inside the warships must be restored to the appearance of the warships.

These calculations alone require this supercomputer to calculate for a full six hours.

In other words, the Empire can only know the final result after six hours of each scan!

However, this data is not static. As long as the Empire continues to add computing arrays to this space station and improve the computing power of the space station host, the time to reach the final conclusion will be shorter.

Seven hours after the first scan, the Empire's intelligence department finally received a processed hologram.

When this hologram is opened, it is an entire river system, but this river system has been painted in various colors, and each area composed of color blocks is marked with a serial number.

"Commanders, these numbers represent the thirty-one advanced member states of the Spiral Federation in this river system. Each color block is the territory occupied by these advanced civilizations, and the areas around them with similar colors but lower brightness are the territories of their vassal civilizations." A scientist in charge of the Eye of the Empire project explained to the officers standing in the holographic room.

The officers nodded and continued to enlarge the hologram in the room until the front line of the Federation that the Empire was attacking appeared in sight.

"The blue units in the hologram represent our warships, while the red ones represent the enemy's warships, and the gray warships represent the warships that have been destroyed and have lost their ability to resist, but their internal energy can still be detected."

"Now as you can see, the entire line of defense is full of blue warships representing our empire, and the number of unmanned artillery and fortresses remaining in the local area is very small."

"At this rate of elimination, it will only take three days for us to eliminate all the federal troops on the line of defense!" The scientist pointed to the rare red spots on the line of defense and said proudly.

"Very good, this hologram contains very comprehensive content, and it can even depict the general structure of the planet's underground base!" An officer zoomed in the hologram to the sky above a planet and touched his chin with satisfaction.

In everyone's sight, the surface of this planet was covered with red bases.

"Immediately notify the fleet in the orbit of this planet, send the exact coordinates and depth of these bases, and let them eliminate these bases at a fixed point!" An officer said to his subordinate beside him.

"Understood." The junior officer nodded and transmitted the data to the fleet on the front line through the mental network.

Other officers zoomed in the hologram again, wanting to see the deployment of the federal fleet in this galaxy.

As the hologram continued to zoom in little by little, the pupils of an officer suddenly shrank. He seemed to have discovered something at the moment when the hologram was sliding.

"Stop! Stop!" The officer shouted to the person who was swiping the hologram.

"What's wrong?" The officer raised his head and showed a puzzled look.

"I seem to have discovered something just now, let me do it!" The officer who discovered the abnormality came forward, put his hands on the hologram and began to slide continuously.

After a while, a star system full of red dots flashed across the screen. The officer hurriedly stopped sliding the hologram with his hands and began to turn the hologram back little by little.

After a while, a star system with dense red spots stopped in front of everyone.

The red spots in this star system were neatly arranged into a long strip formation.

And judging from the density of these red dots, the number of red spots that are almost integrated is definitely not small!

The officer hurriedly enlarged this star system, and soon two planets suspended next to the star were enlarged and appeared in front of everyone.

However, everyone's eyes were not on these two planets. Their attention was attracted by the slender red "ribbon" between the two planets!

This slender ribbon is composed of countless red dots. Due to the high density, they are almost connected into a whole! And the length of this "ribbon" is directly connected from one end of this planet to the other end!
