The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons - Chapter 354 Bargaining with the Necrontyr

  Chapter 354 Deal with the Necrontyr

  In this miniature river system, fleets of extremely large scales are moored.

  These fleets have a star fortress as the core, and each is surrounded by about a hundred super battle bodies, as well as a total of 10,000 standard fearless divisions.

  Fleets of this size are moored around this miniature river system, with stars as their bases.

   That is to say, there are as many fleets as there are small star systems around this miniature river system.

Li Qing crosses this circle and does not know how many micro-river systems enter the interior of the micro-river system. Every two or three billion kilometers, he will enter another orbital ring system. There will be another small star system in the distance.

  But the star system within the outermost layer has no garrisons, but a large number of sealed facilities.

   Such as a warehouse.

   Various super docks.

   Various ancient creations.

   Some megastructures he's never seen before, wonders in the stars, and more.

  He even discovered ring worlds in some large star systems that are about tens of billions of kilometers away from the most core gravitational source, and some super habitable worlds with a diameter of more than one million kilometers.

   But these are not the key points, the key point is that in the very center of this galaxy, there is a strange building that covers the central supermassive black hole.

  It is a super-giant frame built outside the event horizon of a supermassive black hole. The frame encloses the entire supermassive black hole. There are dozens of huge structures extending into the event horizon of the black hole to continuously extract energy and matter from the black hole.

  A superstructure whose specification is measured in astronomical units extends out of each of the ten directions in all directions of the superframe.

  The extracted energy gathers upwards along the edge of the super giant structure, and directly flows into the super structures whose specifications are measured in astronomical units.

  It looks like this from the outside, but he doesn't know what it looks like inside, but Li Qing looks at it from a distance, and can feel a wave from there that makes his heart palpitate.

   This is most likely the ultimate weapon of the Necrontyr civilization, and it hasn't been activated yet.

  Just as Li Qing was about to get closer, he suddenly remembered the loud voice that hadn't appeared for a long time:

   "Do not approach within a radius of 10 billion kilometers from the center of the galaxy! Do not enter the ring world, and do not enter the giant structure!"

   Li Qing spread his arms and stopped.

  Up to now, basically everything that can be seen with the naked eye has been seen, and Li Qing basically has a clear understanding of the existing strength of the Necrontyr.

  This strength is not outrageous. It is estimated that a dozen small galaxy garrisons can easily sweep all civilizations in the Milky Way, including all advanced civilizations.

  But the more he understands, the less he dares to easily inherit the legacy of the Necrontyr civilization.

   With such a huge strength, they have clearly awakened, but they still obediently stay in this isolated dark star field and dare not show their heads, and even dare not send some scout ships out, which shows how deeply they are afraid of their old enemy.

  This shows that even if they have such strength, they still think that they can't be the opponent of that old enemy.

  With such an outrageous strength gap, if faced with the attack of the unknown old enemy, it is estimated that it will not be able to persist for a hundred years.

  If this is the case, it would be meaningless for him to inherit the inheritance of the Necrontyr civilization.

  He needs a force that can persist until he completely digests the civilization of the star bearer. If he can't do it, it's meaningless.

"Pity!"

  Li Qing shook his head and sighed softly, turned around in disappointment, and prepared to leave this galaxy.

  But when he just turned around, a voice sounded in his ears:

   "Young race, I can feel the disappointment in your heart, can you tell me why?"

  Li Qing paused, remained silent for a while, and said:

   "I am disappointed that the Necrontyr Dynasty is not as powerful as I thought."

  The voice also paused, probably a little surprised by this answer.

   After a long silence, the voice sounded again:

   "Then what kind of strength do you think is the strength you imagined?"

   "It doesn't matter how powerful I imagined it to be. The important thing is that you are too far from your old enemy. If the Necrontyr reappears, how long can you last under the blow of your old enemy?"

  The voice fell silent again.

   This time the silence was longer, until Li Qing got impatient and started to send.

  Open the hyperspace network, look at the teleportation star map, and touch a galaxy that has not been seen before on the network around this miniature river system.

   But he was surprised to find that he did not have enough authority to enter this galaxy.

   "Hidden power?"

   Then he clicked a few more in a row, and found a large star field around the central miniature river system, some of which could be entered, and many of which were not authorized to enter.

   "But what's the point?"

  Li Qing shook his head, but did not continue shopping.

   No matter what hidden power the Necrontyr still has, it doesn't make much sense, as long as it is not an opponent who was once an old enemy, it doesn't make any sense to him, and he will definitely not inherit it.

  What he wants is a force that can protect him, not a force that needs to be protected by himself.

  He has no shortage of technology.

   At this moment, the voice sounded in his ear again:

  "The fact is that we are indeed not their opponents yet, but any civilization has its ups and downs. When they decline or fall, it is time for us to rise."

  Li Qing shook his head and said:

   "So you will be stuck here until tens of millions, billions of years later."

   This time the voice did not answer, it should be the default.

"Pity."

  Li Qing didn't say anything, just shook his head.

  Because he also has nothing to say.

  This kind of predicament can only be broken unless the Necrontyr suddenly obtains a powerful creation of a god-level civilization, or his own technology suddenly makes a breakthrough, and enters the eighth-level god-level civilization from the seventh level.

   Apart from this, there is no other way to break the game.

   "Then, it's time to get out of here."

  Li Qing looked up and looked around, and communicated with the hyperspace network with his mind, and sent it to the outermost galaxy in the dark star field.

  Shortly after the transmission ended, he appeared at the edge of the galaxy at the edge of the dark star field, which was also the edge of the galaxy that came in before. The mysterious voice came from his ears:

"You want to leave?"

   "According to security regulations, you can't leave, and you can't leave."

  Li Qing looked up with a smile on his face:

   "What if I could leave?"

   "Impossible."

Before he could finish his words, the space around Li Qing began to distort, and then the void around an unknown number of billions of kilometers also began to distort. A dazzling light suddenly exploded around him. It was the power of the universe in his palm and the seal of the Necrontyr. A strong reaction to a conflict of forces.

   "God-level civilization creation?"

  The moment the sound disappeared, the space where Li Qing was located exploded, and the indescribable force distorted the space, shaking a large area of ​​the surrounding space to form substantial space wrinkles.

   But he has disappeared, passing through layers of seals in an instant, and appearing in another starry sky.

   Looking back at the Dark Star Field where the Necrontyr lived in seclusion, it was pitch black and there was nothing there.

No!

  The next second, a spot of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and then quickly expanded to form a familiar face.

  Li Qing subconsciously prepared to leave, but heard the familiar voice:

"Please wait!"

  Li Qing looked at the metal face vigilantly:

   "I've come out, you can't do anything to me anymore."

   "Dear ancient successor, maybe we can make a deal."

  Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, he shook his head and said:

   "If you want me to inherit the Necrontyr civilization, then forget it."

   "No, you don't need to inherit the Necrontyr civilization, I believe you don't like it either."

   "I may have guessed your reason for coming. You may need a force that can protect your growth. I can provide it. You only need to make a promise!"

  Li Qing knew what the necromancer had guessed, and it might not be what he imagined, but strictly speaking, there was no difference.

  He thought for a while and said:

"Tell me."

  The voice responded quickly:

  "Before we evacuated the galaxy, some leftover assets and power were hidden in some isolated star fields around the galaxy without hyperspace channels. Any one of them can easily resist the advanced civilization you mentioned."

   "I will tell you these coordinates. If you can successfully dig out a galaxy that still exists, our agreement will be reached. If not, the agreement will be invalid."

  Li Qing thought for a while, and expressed his scruples:

   "I know that there are still tentacles of your former enemy in the galaxy. If I use the battleship you once left behind, will it attract their attack?"

   Voice immediately denies:

   "There are many such hidden powers, not only in the Milky Way, but also in other river systems we have conquered. Many of them have been found by other civilizations by accident. If you dig one, it will definitely attract their attention and observation."

   "But it's just an observation, as long as you don't inherit our inheritance."

   "So what commitment do you need?"

  When asked this sentence, Li Qing agreed.

  Being able to obtain a force capable of resisting any advanced civilization without much risk actually fits his idea.

   "I need, if you have the opportunity to be promoted to the civilization of God in the future, come back and help us once in our fateful confrontation with our old enemy."

  This promise was still expected by Li Qing. He thought carefully about the problems that this promise might encounter, and said:

   "In principle, I can agree, but you must wake up after 100,000 years. Before that, if I feel that I am not strong enough, I will not make a move."

   "It's natural."

   "Then the agreement is established. In addition, I also need a complete star map of your Milky Way, including the possible location of the super star gate that can be sent to the galaxy outside the galaxy."

"Can!"

   Soon a small chip flew in front of Li Qing, he reached out to take it, checked it carefully and began to load it.

   There was no problem with the star map. After unfolding it directly covered his current star map. Li Qing immediately found that his star map had included the entire Milky Way and a large number of extragalactic galaxies around the Milky Way.

  Including hundreds of dwarf galaxies affiliated to the Milky Way, and hundreds of extragalactic galaxies similar to the Milky Way once occupied by the Necrontyr.

  However, Li Qing found that there was no information on the Necrontyr's former enemy in the star map, so he asked immediately, and the voice replied:

   "Until you grow up, it's best not to know that name. Sometimes knowing more is not a good thing."

  Li Qing shrugged, but did not ask further questions.

   There is no oath, just a promise.

   Then, Li Qing began to return.

  Not long after his figure disappeared, an invisible light film slowly emerged in the void, a strange face emerged on the invisible light film, and a voice seemed to be talking to himself:

   "Can you tell which one it is?"

   Then another voice answered:

   "Not sure, never seen."

   "It doesn't matter which one it is, as long as it is determined to be a creation of God."

  At this time, a third voice sounded:

   “Hopefully he can grow up.”

   "Hardly."

   "It's hard, but it's a hope after all, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

  The sound gradually disappeared, and soon the invisible light film also disappeared, and the starry sky returned to calm.

   Half a year later, Li Qing returned to the Perseus Arm.

   Has not returned for nearly three years, and nothing major has happened to the United Empire of Mankind.

  In addition to the fact that the Imperial Expeditionary Force has begun to build an outpost on the border of the eighth star field Aisar, it is preparing to conquer several star fields at the northern end of the Perseus spiral arm.

According to reliable sources, with the United Empire of Mankind defeating the long-standing enemy Bruvan United and completing the unification of the five star domains, the Siris Star Empire located in the Galinoin Star Domain at the northern end of the Perseus Arm and the Sky Pillar Star Domain The Ferosa Federation has let go of its hatred, stopped the war that lasted for many years, and has a tendency to unite against the United Empire of Mankind.

In addition, the Aisha civilization located in the Aisar star field has defeated more than a dozen large and small civilizations in that star field, completed the actual occupation of one-third of the Aisar star field, and completely controlled the Aisar star field. Complete the claim.

  This means that the Aisha civilization has not given up on this star field, and decided to fight against the United Empire of Man here.

   In response to this, Ye Cangqiong, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, has already gone to the suzerain of Feonoo, ready to test the attitude of the suzerain towards the civil war between the two vassals.

   Regarding this matter, Li Qing only instructed the expeditionary force to build an outpost first, and increase the size of the outpost to prepare for future expeditions.

They had originally planned to conquer the Perseus Arm, not to mention that now that Li Qing has obtained the Necrontyr's star map, he already knows the place where the ancient star gate occupied by the Aisha civilization in the Perse Arm is located. Not a spiral arm of the Milky Way, but an extragalactic galaxy.

   To be precise, it is a large dwarf galaxy located nearly a million light-years away from the Milky Way.

   This dwarf galaxy is on the star map of the Necrontyr. It is a disc galaxy not much different from the Milky Way, but its diameter is only about 20,000 light-years.

   That is to say, the direction that the Aisha civilization fled through this ancient star gate was another river system, and now their headquarters is not in the Milky Way.

   This is where it gets interesting.

   No matter how the Aisha civilization is doing in that dwarf galaxy now, Li Qing is planning to attack this dwarf galaxy.

   After he finds a galaxy left by the Necrontyr and obtains a fleet not inferior to any advanced civilization, he can attack that dwarf galaxy.

  If possible, human civilization can also be moved there in the future.
