Chapter 411： Andromeda Galaxy

No opening of the spatial channel was detected, and no transition traces were detected.

However, the Galaxy appeared here without warning.

This surprised everyone in the Hanguguan Command Center.

What kind of technology does this warship use?

And at this moment, Bai Zixuan, who was more than 100,000 light-years away, finally resumed communication with the Yinhe, and his heart that had been hanging was relaxed.

A distance of 160,000 light-years, a total time of 48 minutes and 17 seconds!

Perhaps this is a very low efficiency compared to spatial transmission.

However, as mentioned before, hyperspace technology has an advantage that is unmatched by space transfer technology.

The most important thing is that this is only the first generation of hyperspace engines, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in this technology! !

It didn't take long for the first test report on the hyperspace engine to be in front of Lin Fan.

Originally, Lin Fan only planned to wait for Bai Zixuan to complete the inter-galactic space teleportation technology, and immediately start the wasteland reclamation plan of the outer galaxy.

However, what he didn't expect was that Bai Zixuan, who had a dark star, was very disdainful of the inter-galactic space transmission technology he had given him, and directly threw it to his subordinates for research.

At most, Bai Zixuan would check the progress every once in a while and give guidance on the technical problems, and most of the rest was spent on the dark star.

What Lin Fan didn't expect was that Bai Zixuan had developed this technology within these few years.

Although, compared with the hyperspace engine on Darkstar, there is still a big gap, but at least is there?

After that, you only need to study in depth step by step, and then gradually launch the second and third generations!

Regarding the military use of hyperspace engines, how could Lin Fan, now the commander-in-chief of the Federal Fleet, fail to see it.

Although the speed of space teleportation is fast, one must have a special device. After all, warships can't teleport themselves, right?

The other is the issue of combat efficiency.

If it is a large-scale operation and space teleportation is used, the time required to transport all the huge fleet to the front line is really not a half-time.

Even if you use the super star gate, it takes at least an hour to send 100 million warships up. After all, the star gate is so big, and the number of warships that can pass through each time is extremely limited.

However, the hyperspace engine does not have such a problem, it can be installed in every battleship.

Therefore, even a large-scale fleet buildup will not be affected in any way.

Of course, this is not to say that the space transfer technology is useless and can be eliminated!

In fact, it still has certain advantages in the rapid delivery of small-scale forces. In addition, it also has an irreplaceable position in civilian use.

For example, the Stargate network now spread all over the Federation.

In the past, when you wanted to travel from one planet to another, you had to take a shuttle to go to space, then take a spacecraft to jump to the orbit of the target planet, and finally take the shuttle to the surface of the planet. .

Since the Federation used small stargates to form a stargate network, people can travel directly to the target planet through the stargate without even taking a spaceship.

Convenient!

Therefore, it can only be said that each has its own advantages. Of course, from a military perspective, the hyperspace engine must be more advantageous!

Soon, a year passed by, and it is now 114 years in the federal calendar.

Nowadays, the galaxy teleportation array created through the technology of inter-galactic space teleportation has also been arranged on each main spiral arm.

And the civilizations on the main spiral arms also began a vigorous plan for the migration of outer galaxies.

Not to mention, just like the information given by human beings, because other galaxies do not have the existence of the way of stars, civilization develops extremely slowly, as if there is an invisible barrier, blocking all civilizations before the fourth level of civilization. , Has not been able to take that crucial step.

You know, without the way of the stars, the third-level civilization is difficult to expand. Generally speaking, having three or five star systems is already considered a strong third-level civilization.

After all, without the way of the stars, and without the transition technology of the fourth-level civilization, the third-level civilization can only travel in space at sub-light speeds.

The distance between the two star systems is calculated in light-years. You only rely on sub-light engines to travel to other star systems. It hasn't been decades, so don't even think about it.

Even some civilizations that have been in existence for tens of thousands of years will generally not have more than 5 star systems. Otherwise, the voyage of several decades cannot be effectively managed at all!

Only some civilizations with extremely high talent potential can overcome this difficulty and achieve the fourth level of civilization!

In short, according to the reports of the affiliated civilizations, out of the dozen or so galaxies that have been set up so far, only 5 galaxies have level 4 civilizations, and they are all very weak early level 4 civilizations.

Not to mention the Vera Alliance, even if it is a third-level civilization that has hired other fourth-level civilization fleets to escort, it is not something that civilizations that barely enter the fourth-level civilization can resist.

Therefore, the entire migration plan is proceeding very smoothly. According to this progress, all civilizations in the galaxy will be able to complete the migration according to the plan in 10 years at most.

However, Lin Fan's main thoughts were not in this regard, after all, such an outcome had long been expected!

2.2 million light-years from the Milky Way, on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy.

"Is this the Andromeda Galaxy?"

Lin Tian stood inside the bridge, looked at the starry sky outside the ship through the porthole, and said to himself.

Speaking of the Andromeda Galaxy, its diameter is about 1.6 times that of the Milky Way, and the number of stars it has is more than ten times that of the Milky Way, directly reaching more than 1 trillion.

It can be said that in the local galaxy group, the remaining 49 galaxies add up, and the number of stars is not as large as that of the Andromeda galaxy.

This shows that the Andromeda Galaxy is such a rich galaxy.

The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy, which is different from the Milky Way’s spiral structure. Therefore, it does not have so many main spiral arms and secondary spiral arms like the Milky Way. The result is relatively simple, only two. It's just a spiral arm, which extends from both sides of the rod end.

Today, a galaxy-class fleet led by Lin Yu is located at the end of the front main spiral arm of Andromeda, and at the same time, at the edge of the galaxy.

However, even at the edge of the galaxy, according to the ship's astronomers, the density of stars here is almost the same as some of the rich star regions on the four main spiral arms of the Milky Way.

"How rich is this Andromeda Galaxy?"

After listening to the report by the astronomer on board, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
