Chapter 2117 Aliens Are Really Coming

In a galaxy near the edge of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way.

Accompanied by a burst of blue light flashing in the vast starry sky.

A fleet of hundreds of warships and a full range of types appeared in this galaxy.

Two huge observation mirror devices were extended from the deck of the flagship interstellar mothership.

Swish!

The observation mirror was turned on and immediately switched to maximum power.

"The Earth-like planets in this star system have been found."

A few hours later, the experts saw satisfactory data from the device.

A clear picture of the observation appeared on the large screen in the command room.

Then the experts discovered that this galaxy actually had two Earth-like planets in almost the same orbit!

Both planets are only slightly larger than the Blue Water Star and have a satellite orbiting them.

Between them and the sun, they present a nearly straight distance to orbit the adult star.

If there is an intelligent civilization born on these two planets, they will not be able to find the existence of another Earth-like planet until they die by observing on the ground.

"No artificial celestial bodies were observed."

The experts carefully checked the videos and the various data collected many times, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The absence of artificial celestial bodies means that even if there is an intelligent civilization in this galaxy, it has either perished long ago or has not yet developed to the level of technology that breaks through the atmosphere.

In that case, their technological civilization that can already navigate in the star system will have an absolute technological advantage!

"Let's go!"

The fleet commander listened to the experts' report and gave the order.

Suddenly, the Guwa civilization fleet entered an accelerated state and flew towards the nearest earth-like planet.

After the fleet entered the target star field, Xiao Yu had been paying attention to the sky general and followed the fleet to observe.

As a result, three days later, Xiao Yu and the fleet commander saw the latest close-up of the nearest earth-like planet for the first time.

The atmosphere of this earth-like planet is full of toxins.

There are frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the interior.

It seems that this planet is no longer suitable for the birth and development of intelligent civilization.

Even if there were any remains of civilization left, it would be difficult to preserve them in such an environment.

Even so.

The fleet still stopped in the outer orbit of the planet, allowing Xiao Yu to control the Tianjiang to fly out of the ship, and then use it as a host to explore the planet with Huiyue perception.

The whole process took a week.

In the end, Xiao Yu did not find the remains or relics of Huiyue.

But it was not completely fruitless.

Xiao Yu controlled the Tianjiang and found a ton of precious ore from this planet with frequent volcanoes.

After purification, about five kilograms of rare materials equivalent to legendary level can be obtained.

In addition, Xiao Yu also found several veins containing many rare minerals on the satellite of this planet.

These veins are too widely distributed and the content is rare. They can only be remembered in the small notebook first. When there is a surplus in the mining fleet in the future and a certain mineral is urgently needed, it will be sent here for expedited mining.

The Guwa civilization fleet waited for Xiao Yu to control the Tianjiang and return with satisfaction.

Then it set sail again and headed for the earth-like planet on the back of the star.

The earth-like planet on the back of the star.

It is a planet wrapped in a thick atmosphere, and most of its areas are covered with ice and snow.

The best area on this planet is located at the equator, and only in the equatorial area is there enough temperature for the cultivation and production of crops.

Therefore, the intelligent civilization born on this planet will reproduce and thrive in the equatorial area as soon as possible, and fight for these areas!

At this moment.

The intelligent civilization on this planet has grown to the point of becoming the planetary overlord.

They call themselves the Som civilization, the only favorite of God in this world.

The great existence above all things and below the true God.

Born to rule over all things.

After the adventurers of the Pearl of the Som Royal Family completed the great geographical discoveries and completed the first global voyage.

The Som Royal Family established a more centralized Som Empire.

So far, the empire has passed two hundred years.

After two hundred years, all aspects of the Som Empire have already had various twilight.

However, under the command of the wise emperors of each generation.

The strength of the empire has maintained a rapid growth, and technology has been steadily advancing.

A hundred years ago, the development of steam engines and the productivity changes they brought about suppressed all kinds of dissatisfaction within the empire.

Many ambitious people lamented that they were born at the wrong time.

They also wondered whether the rumors that the royal family was the son of the true God were true.

Otherwise, why did every generation of emperors become wise immediately after the coronation ceremony?

This made these ambitious people frustrated and cautious for generations, fearing that they would be caught by the emperor and then killed as a warning to others.

Now, after many generations of upgrades, steam engines have developed into all aspects of production and life.

The railway around the entire equator was connected many years ago and successfully opened to traffic,

allowing the emperor's orders to be mobilized to places of disobedience at any time together with the army.

In such an era of great productivity development.

The production relations of the Som Empire should have changed long ago.

The power of the big merchants and the emerging nobles has long surpassed those corrupt old nobles.

However, under the unimaginable crowds of people gathered by the wise emperors of each generation, the emerging forces did not dare to challenge the old royal order.

The Som Empire has also come to this point in such an awkward state.

At this point in time.

Although the Som Empire has not yet been able to get rid of the constraints of gravity and send artificial celestial bodies into outer space.

On the ground, steam cars have begun to replace horse-drawn carriages as a new means of transportation for the nobles.

Steam trains are crisscrossed in the equator, and their railway kilometers are even enough to defeat many powerful countries on the Blue Water Planet.

In the air.

The giant airships were eliminated due to bad weather.

Instead, they were replaced by giant steam planes.

Those super-large steam planes, which are one circle larger than the largest transport planes on the Blue Water Planet, undertake the tasks of rapid transportation and air combat.

In terms of communication, telegraphs and radio have been invented.

Radio is a standard feature of every family with a little spare money.

The poor people who have no money are also used to gathering in the square in the evening to listen to free radio programs for entertainment.

Generally speaking.

Although the technology point is a bit crooked.

In terms of technology, the Som Empire has approached the civilization level of the First World War on the Blue Water Planet.

In addition, although it has not been able to send artificial celestial bodies into outer space.

The planetarium is a major imperial characteristic building that has gradually emerged in the past hundred years.

Mainly due to the progress of mathematics and the successful development of telescopes.

The emperor and noble lords like to use telescopes to peek into the secrets of the vast starry sky.

It seems that they can get closer to the great true God.

What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more.

The entire Som Empire is keen on astronomical observation and various speculations and empty talks related to it.

Among the most popular radio programs, one-third are related to the extraterrestrial world.

Some people believe that everything outside the planet belongs to the realm of the true God, and once they enter it, they will immediately be annihilated.

Some people boldly speculate that there may be intelligent civilizations like them in those stars.

They are even looking at them curiously.

Of course, such speculations usually don't last long.

After all, this is questioning the uniqueness of the Som civilization.

In an empire that believes that its royal family is the son of the true God.

This is a great rebellion!

However, privately, with the development of technology, the horizons have broadened.

Facing the vast starry sky.

After all, more and more knowledgeable people began to doubt themselves, and like the previous Blue Water Star civilization, they worried about science fiction stories such as alien invasions.

Even in a closed-door meeting of the empire.

Led by the emperor, a related rehearsal was also conducted together.

Of course, due to the limited vision.

In the alien invasion plot in their eyes.

The aliens only rode on a better aircraft than the steam plane, and then came to fight the Som Empire, still sending a large number of taller and more powerful troops with better weapons and equipment.

To engage in positional warfare with the Som Empire, and fall into a state of anxiety in the battles of one city and one place.

Then the Som Empire was united and persisted to the end... and finally won the final victory.

And for this rehearsal.

No one in the room doubted this.

In their eyes.

Alien invasion, that's all.

What firepower coverage, orbital bombing, drone warfare, etc. ... To be honest, they never thought about it.

In this regard.

It must be said that the royal family of the Som Empire also has a little responsibility.

The emperor of the royal family is really too wise.

This makes the Som Empire established.

All rebellions, big and small, are decided in one battle, and the army of the empire has never encountered an equal opponent.

Tactical progress and strategic changes, there is no motivation to improve and think.

The use of new weapons brought about by technology is more reflected in the military parade.

There is not much difference between having actual combat experience and not having it.

Anyway, the army advances, occupies the high ground, and then the infantry launches a charge after a wave of long-range firepower shooting.

And then there is nothing else.

…………

Deep in the palace of the Som Empire.

Emperor Som VII looked a little tired after handling government affairs.

This tiredness made Som VII frown slightly.

Som VII just celebrated his 32nd birthday.

He has only been the emperor for seven years.

Considering the current imperial civilization environment.

At this age, he is still young for an emperor.

Although... it is similar to the British fog in the industrial era of the Blue Water Star.

The average life expectancy of workers in the Som Empire in this era has dropped from 20 to 17.

Even because the mines are getting deeper and deeper, the tunnels are getting narrower and narrower.

Now the mine owners are keen to hire child workers aged four to seven to work as miners, which has a tendency to continue to lower the average life expectancy.

Relying on their efforts and sacrifices.

The life expectancy of the nobles has increased from 40 to 50.

In the royal family, there are many elderly people who have lived over 60.

However, Som VII still doubted his health problems and summoned a doctor to conduct a detailed physical examination for himself.

The results were terrible.

The doctors found that some organs of Som VII's body had aged badly.

And they couldn't find the reason.

This made Som VII very angry, and he once suspected that he was poisoned.

But he was angry.

He didn't kill people impulsively.

He just summoned his confidants, arranged the tasks, and began to train the heir.

"The possibility of poisoning is not great."

"I still have this confidence in the control of the palace."

"That's the problem of this body itself."

Som VII returned to the palace alone. After refusing the inquiry of the flip card, he said to himself:

"This time, the heir can't be careless about the body."

"Every time the imperial power is excessive, it is always accompanied by a lot of troubles!"

Som VII shook his head and sighed softly.

He is not afraid of death.

Because he knows that he is special and he can't die!

Instead, he can rely on people of the direct bloodline and take over the body and be reborn!

The current Som VII is actually the former Som VI, V, or even I!

This is also the biggest reason why the Som Empire can produce wise rulers from generation to generation!

He never has to worry about the lack of successors, and he doesn't have to worry about the problem of not being able to train heirs!

Because every generation of emperors... is the founding monarch!

And for those royal family members who were possessed.

Som VII never felt guilty.

As a member of the royal family, he was born to enjoy wealth and glory.

For the empire's eternal generations.

What is this little sacrifice?

"Too young is not good."

"Too old is even worse..."

"Hmm?"

"This man... is 25 years old, graduated from military school, participated in many rebellion wars..."

"Hmm? Married the twin daughters of the president of the Blue Chamber of Commerce?"

"And the little daughter of the Marquis of the North is also his concubine?"

"Interesting, he can tame the women of the North, this guy is quite capable!"

Som VII saw a satisfactory candidate.

Although this person is not the biological child of this body.

But it doesn't matter.

Because of his existence, the Som Empire does not have the traditional rule of establishing the eldest son.

As long as they are the direct descendants of the founding emperor.

In the direct bloodline book, they have the opportunity to become emperor.

The descendants of the current emperor, except for enjoying slightly better wealth and glory.

There is not much difference from the descendants of other royal palaces.

If they do something wrong, they will be punished mercilessly by Som VII.

Because in the eyes of Som VII.

These descendants have long been all grandparents.

In terms of being his sacrifice, they are all equal.

"Well, it's decided that he will be... Tomorrow he and the others will be announced as candidates for emperor."

Som VII is familiar with this and has a whole set of procedures in his mind.

Thinking of his recent lackluster performance with the concubines.

Som VII is even looking forward to the new strong body.

In the early morning, just after dawn.

Som VII was awakened by a noise outside the bedroom.

The experienced Som VII did not panic.

Even in the worst case, the throne was usurped.

He also had the confidence to start over and take back everything he had lost!

However, after he had the door opened,

he heard a piece of news that stunned him:

"Your Majesty!"

"Something bad has happened!"

"Aliens...are really here!"
