Chapter 730 Stellar Chessboard

Only a few lucky ones were not melted down with the cabin, but the safe cabin where they were located was already wrapped by the melted metal.

"Report the damage!" Li Mingze opened the cover of the dormant cabin in front of him, stood on the floor and ordered the ship-borne intelligence.

After losing contact with Tianyi, Li Mingze could only activate the backup ship-borne intelligence to assist him in controlling the warship.

"The damage is being counted."

"The dimensional armor of the Fortress has been detached, the first layer of the letter crystal armor has melted, and the second layer of the letter crystal armor has melted! The damage rate of the bottom layer of ordinary armor is 37.61%."

"3,241 damaged cabins on the outer layer, 326 damaged cabins, and 1,291 crew members sacrificed."

"The Fortress's fortress guns lost 31%, two of the ten secondary guns were damaged, and all three main guns were damaged. There was no damage to the antimatter storage cabin." The ship-borne intelligence quickly sent the damage situation to Li Mingze.

Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these data. As long as the main structure of the Fortress was not damaged, it could be rebuilt.

Fortunately, the storage warehouse for antimatter is located in the center of the Fortress and is not threatened by the star explosion. Otherwise, once the antimatter storage warehouse explodes, the entire Fortress will be destroyed along with the star.

Not only that, the antimatter carried in the Fortress is enough to destroy the star more than ten times. The encounter of so much antimatter with the debris produced by the star explosion will definitely increase the power of the explosion by dozens of times, and the surrounding star systems may be destroyed.

Moreover, the various rays released by this explosion are fatal to life planets within hundreds of light years.

"All crew members on the Fortress have left hibernation and are now rushing to their respective posts."

"The maintenance robot is cooperating with the molecular robot to rebuild the information collector and various scanners of the Fortress. We will soon be able to reconnect with the outside world." Li Mingze walked to his command seat while the shipboard intelligence reported the latest developments in his ear.

At this time, the Fortress was rejuvenated. The staff who woke up from hibernation put on power armor and picked up tools and rushed to the outside of the Fortress.

Since most of the gravity simulation devices in the warship are still offline, the gravity in the entire spacecraft is extremely weak, and the crew can jump dozens of meters with just a light jump.

However, this also greatly facilitates the crew's journey, so the artificial gravity system is placed at the end of the maintenance list.

The crew quickly jumped forward on the ground with maintenance guns. After passing through the layers of armor melted by the energy released by the star explosion, the first staff member came to the space outside the warship.

"This!!!" The crew who had just left the Fortress was shocked by the scene outside and was speechless.

The space outside the Fortress was not the once extremely dark starry sky, nor was it the star debris scattered all over the sky.

Under the Fortress is a circular metal platform with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, and at one end of the metal platform there is a straight road leading to the darkness in the distance.

Just by comparing with the Fortress, this road with a flashing silver reflection is several light years long. After all, the crew can no longer see the end of this road.

The width of this metal road has reached thousands of kilometers! The 80-kilometer diameter of the Fortress is like an Alto parked on a two-way five-lane road on this road.

In the starry sky above this platform, there are white light spots arranged in a grid shape. These light spots are like chess pieces on a chessboard, and the distance between each light spot is exactly the same.

And there are white thin lines connecting these white "stars". Every ten minutes, these stars will flash from near to far. It is estimated that the distance between these stars is too far, and the propagation of light takes time.

"Where is this place!" The crew member hurriedly pushed aside the crew members who had just passed through the hole and rushed to the interior of the Fortress.

At the same time, the scene he observed with his eyes has been shared by him through the mental network to the internal mental network of the Fortress.

Li Mingze, who was talking to the ship-borne intelligence in the command center of the Fortress, suddenly noticed this video in the mental network.

After he opened this video, he stood up directly!

"Fortress, how are the scanning equipment and information collection equipment on the outside of the spacecraft being repaired!" Li Mingze shouted to the shipboard intelligence of the Fortress.

"The repairs have been completed, Your Majesty. I am collecting external data for summary." After the intelligence of the Fortress finished speaking, it transmitted the scene outside the spacecraft to Li Mingze's mind from a third-person perspective.

"Select the nearest one of these twinkling stars and enlarge it!" Li Mingze ordered through the mental linker.

Suddenly, the picture in his mind began to move forward rapidly, and soon stopped in front of the star closest to the Fortress.

From the picture, it can be seen that this star is a normal white star.

However, Li Mingze's face was full of shock at this time. He was not shocked by this star, but by something outside this star.

In the outer orbit of this star, there are 720 huge metal rings, which are rotating regularly around this planet.

On average, there is a rotation cycle every ten days, which is why the maintenance worker can detect the stars flickering once every ten minutes!

There are actually a large number of planets embedded in these metal rings of different diameters!

On average, there are twelve planets of the same size embedded on the inner side of each ring, and these planets are wrapped in a layer of blue shield.

In other words, each white star represents a star system, and each of these star systems has up to 8,640 planets!

Each star and the 8,640 planets surrounding it form a system in themselves. At the two midpoints of each star ring intersection, that is, at the two poles of this star, there are six white beams extending to the surrounding stars.

Although these beams have some angles, when magnified to the distance between the two star systems, they almost become a vertical straight line, which is why they look as neat as a chessboard.

After Li Mingze adjusted his perspective back to the Fortress, he could see the layers of white stars in the sky!

Around the platform where his spacecraft was docked, there were at least tens of millions of stars flickering.

This means that in this starry sky, there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of artificial star systems alone. This data is obtained because some stars are too far away and their light has been blocked by other stars!
