Chapter 682 Let the Pirates Fight
The order of Emperor Skrull VII is the highest instruction for the Skrull Empire. Speak the law with the authority of an emperor. Especially when the emperor still has lofty prestige and means of power, then his power will become even greater.
In less than twelve earth hours after the order of Emperor Skrull VII was communicated, the territory spread over half of the fairy system, with more than a thousand colonized planets that can be directly inhabited, hundreds of thousands of high-level resource planets, and low-level planets. Countless high-level Skrull Empire military officers from the resource planet came from all directions.
Come to the royal city of the Skrull Empire, the Alpha star in the fairy system. About 40,000 Skrulls live on this planet, which is about 1.5 times larger than Earth.
Except for some industrial planets, it can be regarded as the most densely populated Skrull planet.
Emperor Skrull VII received generals and officials from different star regions in his palace. He needs to discuss plans and possibilities for war against the galaxy.
"The third cantilever of the Milky Way galaxy, a place called Earth? It's 2.2 million light-years away from us?" It was the Skrull Empire, the supreme commander of the outer defense circle of the Andromeda system——Yuda.
"Warning the galaxy is not a good move, because the headquarters of the Nova Corps is on the fourth arm of the galaxy. If our army is deployed in a big way, it is impossible to hide from the surveillance of the Nova Corps. They are too nosy."
Yudal frowned, and said coldly with his green Skrull face: "And because of the Nova Legion. We haven't established any stargates in the direction of the Milky Way. If you use Titan-class warships to make space leaps , maybe hundreds of years will have passed by the time we reach the earth."
Emperor Skrull VII crossed his fingers: "Then how about sending an advance team? With a hundred assault ships as a unit to make the jump, when will our army reach the earth at the earliest?"
"If it is an assault ship that is specialized in speed, a hundred assault ships will jump together, and it will only take about three years to go to the earth with light luggage." Yudal thought for a while.
The interstellar transition is not just like driving a car with a gas pedal. This needs to be considered in many aspects, including the interference effect caused by the mutual pull between the transition channels opened during the transition.
The greater the mass of the spaceship, the greater the interference effect, and the wider the range of interference. It probably doesn't make a difference for short jumps, such as the distance from Earth to Pluto, because the short distance doesn't make much sense.
But when the transition distance exceeds a certain length, the interference effect will play a role. It will cause a huge deviation in the direction of the jump, and you may sail into a completely unfamiliar star field and get lost.
In the worst case scenario, you could even jump directly into the interior of a star and even cause the star to explode. If this happens, a team of Starfleet will suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, the larger the fleet size, the more calculations are required to perform interstellar transitions. The control of battleships in Starfleet is highly automated, and there are actually very few places where manpower is used.
As for the real need for people to deal with complex situations, the most important one is to consider the interference caused by the transition.
The commander of the fleet needs the staff and technical officers below to constantly coordinate the data and arrange the transition of the entire fleet. Avoid all potentially dangerous lines.
Just like sailing ships in the age of great navigation need to avoid possible reefs that may appear under the sea. The seemingly peaceful universe is not actually safe.
The ubiquity of cosmic rays in the universe is a test for Starfleet. The region where the earth is located is a very calm region, and only such regions with gentle cosmic tides can give birth to life.
And those areas with strong cosmic rays and huge cosmic tides are like tsunamis or hidden reefs on the sea. Let all the starfleets fall into the sand.
The energy emitted by cosmic rays is enough to kill any living thing that is not prepared for protection. And the gravity brought by the terrible cosmic tides can easily tear the entire solar system, even a star system ten times larger than the solar system, into pieces.
Even the interstellar transition cannot pass through this kind of place, and going from here is simply a gamble. Because of the relationship of the Nova Corps, the Skrulls maintain a delicate attitude towards the galaxy. They don't really want to touch this private land of the Nova Corps.
The exploration of the Milky Way is not going very well. It's like the age of great navigation that needs ships to explore new routes.
The exploration of the cosmic star field is also a dangerous task, and the distress message received by Emperor Skrull VII came from an exploration ship that went out to explore the third cantilever of the Milky Way more than 20 years ago.
They are explorers and scientists who map the universe for the empire. Just like the navigators who surveyed and mapped the nautical charts in the age of great voyages, they are an important wealth of this country. They draw star maps and look for planets that they can settle on and colonize. Also looking for any possible resource planets.
Without these people, the Skrull Empire would be like a blind man in the dark universe. When the powerful space fleet hits the cosmic tide, there is no possibility of resisting it. Just like a sandcastle built on the beach cannot withstand a tsunami.
So when he heard Yudal talking about the possibility of sending a team of assault ships to Earth within three years, Emperor Skrull VII began to think about whether it was worth it.
It is impossible to send a large fleet. In addition to teaching the earthlings a lesson, Emperor VII also wanted to rescue the trapped Skrulls. If hundreds of years passed, Skrull who was trapped on the earth would probably have died long ago.
Because judging from the help information sent by the Skrulls, their life is simply worse than death. They were controlled by the people on earth and forced them to become a creature called [cow].
And this kind of creature is one of the main sources of meat for humans on earth. Humans forced the Skrulls who turned into cattle to reproduce and give birth to offspring. They are then slaughtered to eat their meat.
In any case, Emperor Skrull VII could not tolerate this kind of thing happening.
"With a hundred assault ships and starting with light equipment, can the people on Earth be wiped out? Judging from the information, the people on Earth have already begun to move towards the civilization of the universe. They have also mastered thermonuclear weapons. Although they are only used in the initial stage, they can already be used against Our light assault ships are producing lethality." Emperor Skrull VII knocked on the table.
Yudal continued to say with a dead face: "If our purpose is only rescue operations and to teach the earth people a lesson, then it is enough. But it may not be enough to completely wipe out a race. Because the meaning of moving light is that we cannot carry weapons of mass destruction."
"It is impossible to destroy a planet by relying solely on laser cannons and electromagnetic weapons. In particular, the combat effectiveness of laser cannons will be greatly reduced after entering the atmosphere. We may need to change our thinking, Your Majesty. Run to the Milky Way and destroy it under the nose of the Nova Corps." A civilized planet within their jurisdiction, even if it is only an early stage civilization of the universe. This is likely to anger them. Is it worth it for us to do this?" Yudal reminded the seventh emperor tactfully.
Emperor Skrull VII didn't look at Yudal, he was just fiddling with his gemstone scepter, and said in a cold tone: "There was my nephew, Prince Skrull Julian, on the ship that died. .He took risks in the universe for the continuation of our civilization. He was even eaten as beef. What do you think should be done? The supreme commander of my outer defense legion?!"
Yudal shut up. Now everyone knows the determination of Emperor Skrull VII. The people on Earth must be wiped out. He needs the destruction of the Earth to bury his nephew. The killing of Prince Skrull on Earth is an extremely serious matter in itself.
To be buried with the entire earth civilization is a matter of course for the Skrulls from various perspectives, and some generals even believe that the destruction of an early-stage cosmic civilization is not even enough to offset the hatred in it. Even the Nova Corps should be brought in, at least made to apologize.
Although a lot has been said, there is a real problem in front of the Skrulls. That is how to eliminate the earth civilization? Sending a fleet over hundreds of years or building a stargate is too time-consuming. It will even give the people on earth a long time to grow their own civilization strength.
So the most important thing is to get revenge quickly and ruthlessly.
Just as Skrull's generals fell into discussion, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard sitting in the third position on the right hand side of Emperor Skrull VII said, "Why do we have to send troops to Earth ourselves? To deal with an early universe Why should civilization send our valiant warriors to work?"
His words attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked at him.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard continued: "I know that there is a group of wandering locusts on the edge of the galaxy. They are pirates and murderers. They make a living by destroying and seizing the resources of other weak civilizations. We can definitely hire them and let them work for you. Let's do it!"
Emperor Skrull VII nodded slowly and asked at the same time: "What are the names of this group of people?"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard replied respectfully: "Chitauri!"
