Chapter 822: Doomed (1/2)
Professor Mo Xuan has not answered yet, Si Kou Lie first said: ”This is your credit, Li Yao, you prevented Star Child from sending our coordinates to the real human empire in time. As a result, only 70% of the key parameters were sent. In other words, the true human empire has not obtained all of our coordinate parameters.”
”Yes.”
Professor Mo Xuan went on to explain: “From our analysis of the Star Gate, the real human empire should only know that there is a human world in a certain direction millions of light years away from the empire—this is far away. Far from enough.”
”The universe is so vast, distance is our best weapon, millions of light years, even the fastest light will run for millions of years!”
”The difference is a thousand miles away. If the expeditionary fleet of the true human empire has no exact coordinates, it will start an ultra-long-distance star jump, even if they infer the precise coordinates of 99.9%, but only 0.1% of the coordinates. There is a slight error in the coordinates, it is very likely that you will jump to an unknown barren world!”
”The starry sky jumps and consumes astronomical amounts of psychic energy, especially for a fleet that is large enough to conquer a world.”
”Once they have jumped into the barren world more than ten times in a row, maybe there will be no more psionics to jump out, and they will be trapped alive and dead in it.”
Li Yao nodded. The vast universe seemed to be full of stars, but in fact 99.99% of the space was deserted, and only a few spaces were full of psychic energy, which could provide for living creatures to multiply.
Once lost, it’s not surprising to jump to the barren world a dozen times in a row.
Professor Mo Xuan continued: ”There are two advantages to using short jumps.”
”First, the accuracy of each jump is relatively high, and there will be no error. Even if there is an error, it can be fine-tuned back in time before the next jump.”
”Secondly, after each jump, you can stop to replenish psionic energy and repair the starship, so that the psychic energy will not be exhausted and the starship will be damaged.”
Li Yao said, ”How can the immortal cultivators on the ship stand the expedition for hundreds of years?”
Professor Mo Xuan said: ”According to our estimation, the size of the fleet of the true human empire should not be small. If a starship can reach the size of the Holy City, then a micro-circular system can be formed inside, and the cultivators are in it. You can practice, live, and even give birth to descendants. It takes a little longer and has no effect on them.”
”In the Xinghai Empire era, when humans expanded to the outside world, this method was often used.”
”In fact, today, 40,000 years later, the ‘sectarian’ system of the ancient cultivation world is still retained, which has a certain relationship with this mode of warfare.
”The universe is so vast. It often takes hundreds of years to explore a new world. For hundreds of years, it is difficult for the fleet to get the direct command of the parent star.”
”Therefore, each ‘expeditionary fleet’ has slowly evolved into ‘cultivation sects’, maintaining a certain degree of independence in their small world of expeditionary forces.”
”In other words, the true human empire is very likely to have sent a'cultivation sect' to deal with the flying star realm, and even promised many benefits to the other party, such as occupying the flying star realm and entrusting the flying star realm to this sect, etc. Wait.”
Li Yao thought for a while, and then asked: ”Since we have discovered the real human empire's sphere of influence, can we directly attack the empire's heart and heaven? Or, even if the attack cannot be carried out, can we send a star? Ship, go by alone?”
Li Yao is a little bit ready to move, passive defense has never been his character, proactive attack is his first choice!
Professor Mo Xuan smiled bitterly: ”Distance is a double-edged sword. The real human empire cannot lock our precise coordinates, and we also don't know the precise coordinates of the polar world.”
”If you barely make a super long-distance star jump, you may have a one-tenth chance that you will jump to the vicinity of the extreme heaven. If you are lucky, you will be able to reach the extreme heaven after three or five hundred short jumps.”
”So complicated?”
Li Yao was secretly speechless, thought about it, and said strangely, ”Since it's so difficult to jump beyond the distance to the starry sky, how did the star-sea empire age and the various worlds communicate?”
Professor Mo Xuan said: ”As early as the Xinghai Empire, in the 30,000 years when the monsters ruled the three thousand worlds, they have established super-large star torch groups in every big world, which is equivalent to a door to the starry sky.”
”After the human race is revived and the emperor rises, these star gates will be further expanded, which is equivalent to building a cosmic lighthouse in all the great worlds to guide the direction of the starship.”
”Moreover, the starship refining technology at that time was far more advanced than it is now.”
”There are accurate star maps, lighthouse navigation, and extremely advanced starships. It is of course easy to travel between three thousand worlds.”
”Today, most of the star gates have been destroyed in the 10,000-year war, and most of the star maps marked with the precise coordinates of the world have also been lost. Our starship refining technology has not been restored to the past. At the peak of the world, it is naturally a hundred times more difficult to carry out exchanges across the vast world than in the Xinghai Empire era.”
Li Yao nodded and understood.
But he still wondered why Professor Mo Xuan frowned, and the atmosphere was so strange: ”Well, all in all, there is now an expeditionary fleet of the real human empire that is aggressively killing us.”
