Three days passed by in an instant. Under the resentful eyes of Lin Zhen and Ed, Lin Fan set off with his children.
A few days later, First Legion of Lin Fan brought 2,000 engineering ships and 10,000 Transport Ship to their destination, a zone between Barnard's Star and Epsilon Eridani.
It is dark here and there is nothing. If it were not for this wormhole, humans might not visit here for thousands of years. But in this darkness, there is a special place.
According to the observed images, there is a circular area with a diameter of 10 kilometers 5 million kilometers in front of the fleet. The area appears blue, like the sea surface, and occasionally stirs up waves.
"Is this a wormhole? It's actually blue?"
"Legion Commander, according to the data, this wormhole can only be seen from the front. During the hesitation period, the side has no thickness at all, so it will become unobservable from the side!"
Liang Xue on the side also said.
Speaking of which, the wormhole is really interesting. It has no thickness at all. If you look at it from the side, it seems as if it does not exist. But if you look at it from the front, it is no different from the sea surface when you look at it from the sky. Even the color is very close to the color of the sea surface.
Lin Fan I remember watching a lot of movies and TV shows and some conjectures about wormholes in my previous life. However, when I actually saw wormholes, I found that they were somewhat different from people's various conjectures.
"It's time to set off. Order the entire fleet to adjust its formation. Every 10 ships are in a group. The first to Tenth Fleet will enter in order, followed by the engineering fleet and Transport Ship, and finally the 11th and 12th fleets!"
"Yes!"
As Lin Fan's order was issued, all fleets began to adjust their formations according to the order. More than ten minutes later, the first group of ten warships belonging to First Fleet approached the wormhole.
If you observe from the side of the wormhole at this time, you will see a very interesting picture.
From the moment a battleship comes into contact with the wormhole, it gradually disappears as the battleship advances from its front part. Finally, the entire battleship disappears there. The picture is extremely weird!
It's like when you poke a piece of paper with a stick. After you pierce it, even if you push the whole chopstick over, not a single bit comes out from the other end of the paper, and it completely disappears from your sight.
When the first group entered the wormhole, the second group immediately followed, and the entire First Fleet lined up like this, one group after another.
The journey through the wormhole is very strange. When Lin Fan appeared 7,800 light-years away, its senses did not feel any passage of time. It was as if one second it was about to enter the wormhole, and the next second it found itself 7,800 light-years away.
As for the few minutes that passed through the wormhole, there was no sense of the subject at all. If the location and time had not changed, Lin Fan would even think that he had not moved at all and was still in the same place. It was a very interesting experience.
It took more than a day for all 20,000 warships of First Fleet to pass through the wormhole, and it took the entire large force almost a month to do so. After all, the diameter of this wormhole is only 10 kilometers, and the fleet can only pass through an average of ten warships per minute.
After all, when warships sail, they need to leave a safe distance between each other. Even if the entire wormhole is filled, only ten ships can pass through at one time.
There is no way, for Interstellar Fleet, no matter how close the formation is, there must be at least about 3 kilometers of space between the warships. Otherwise, the warships may endanger the warships next to them with just a random turn.
When all the warships arrived, Lin Fan immediately held a virtual combat meeting.
In the conference room, the shadows of eleven Fleet Commander were projected on both sides of the conference table. Of course, the second Fleet Commander is currently represented by the former Chris's adjutant, Brigadier General Batlan.
"Everyone, we are currently more than 7,800 light years away from the earth, and our goal is here!"
Lin Fan pointed at a position in the virtual Star Chart projected next to him and said.
"This place is nearly 200 light years away from us. It belongs to a Level 3 Civilization named Or Republic. As for what it was called, I don't care. From today on, this place is called Shanhai Pass. This is also where we will be stationed for a long time in the future."
"About Interstellar Great Wall Plan, I have already sent it to everyone before departure. I think everyone should understand the importance of Shanhai Pass to the Federation, so this Or Republic can only be regarded as unlucky!"
Lin Fan laughed a little when he said this, and the other commanders also laughed a few times.
No one who can sit here will come out and perform a performance of Our Lady. Everyone has long been accustomed to the Interstellar Era principle, which is pure law of the jungle!
"According to the intelligence previously detected by the federal exploration spacecraft, there is a Or Republic legion in Shanhai Pass, with about 300,000 battleships! They are concentrated at the Star Path exit on the other side of the connected star-free zone!"
"In addition to this, there is a military fortress located on the only Life Planet orbit in Shanhai Pass."
Lin Fan switched the Star Chart on the side to Star System Star Chart of Shanhai Pass, then pointed at the relevant area and said.
"I am now assigning combat tasks. The third Tenth Fleet is responsible for solving the Or Republic army on its Star Path defense line. The overall command is taken by Emma! After solving it, he will participate in the planetary sweep mission."
"Second Fleet is divided into five squadrons, and defense lines are deployed at the other five Star Path entrances to intercept all possible fleeing enemies!"
"First Fleet will be responsible for the cleanup of its Life Planet!"
"The Eleventh and Twelfth Fleets are responsible for the protection of the engineering fleet and the Transport Ship team. They will first jump to 1 light-year away from Shanhai Pass and wait for orders!"
"Okay, the above is all the arrangements. If there is no problem, get everything ready. The battle will officially start in 3 hours!"
"Yes!"
The eleven commanders stood up and responded at the same time, and then disappeared from the conference room one by one.
More than 50 days later.
Star System Virallas (renamed Shanhai Pass by humans), this is a large Star System with a total of 87 planets inside. It is the Or Republic border node and the only Star System connected to Star Path at the other end of the star-free zone.
Since this is the only hub between the two sides of the star-free zone, Babawi Empire even sent a message to Level 3 Civilization in the entire Orion Arm, Virallas does not allow any fighting, otherwise Babawi Empire will personally punish the civilization that takes action.
Therefore, Or Republic did not deploy many troops here, only one legion, and for thousands of years, no civilization dared to attack here.
And a legion stationed here only collects tolls on the Star Path defense line. The years of leisure have basically made it have no combat effectiveness.
Wilson, the governor of Virallas, is currently on vacation on the only Life Planet.
No one knows that the biggest crisis in thousands of years is about to come!
