With the continuous "launching" of cargo spacecraft, the commercial exchanges between the celestial sphere and the earth have become increasingly close. One space port can no longer meet the needs, so Zhao Ming waved his hand and built another space port on the two planets, and

The accompanying space high-speed train leads to the ground.

Although Zhao Ming has anti-gravity technology, he can theoretically allow these spacecraft to travel freely between the ground and space without the need for space high-speed rail to transit.

However, doing this requires a lot of energy, which is far less economical than using a high-speed space train. Moreover, the larger the spacecraft, the more obvious this marginal effect will be.

The new spaceport is roughly symmetrical to the original spaceport, so the second spaceport on Earth is located on the equator on the east side of the Atlantic Ocean, and the second spaceport on the celestial sphere is built in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The ground part of the new spaceport on Earth is also an artificial island located in the high seas. The area will not be too large, because it is mainly used for freight, unlike Taiping Island, which also shoulders the important responsibility of the Daming Group's private land.

The ground part of the new spaceport on the celestial sphere is different. It is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In addition to serving as the new headquarters of Zhao Jiajun, it also serves as a relay station for aircraft and ships. In the future, its area will continue to expand, and perhaps one day it will become

A new continent.

The United Earth Fleet currently has more than 20 large and small battleships, including all-round battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, destroyers, supply ships, landing craft and other types.

As for Zhao Jiajun's warships... there are only a dozen or so on the surface, which is obviously weaker than the United Earth Fleet. However, given Zhao Ming's personality, it is obviously impossible to allow such a thing to happen.

In fact, Zhao Ming still has more than thirty warships of various types hidden in the vehicle strategic warehouse in the system space.

There are no human crews on these warships. Except for a small number of maintenance robots, all control of the warships is completed by AI.

In other words, assuming that the Earth United Fleet collectively rebelled and launched a sneak attack on the celestial sphere, even if the Zhao family's fleet was completely destroyed, Zhao Ming would be able to make a complete comeback with these warships alone.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis. After the rapid development over the past year, the size of Zhao's army has also expanded several times. New smart weapons are constantly equipping the troops, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is enough to crush their human counterparts on the earth.

"It's really unexpected that this kind of monster that looks like a dinosaur can have such tender meat."

Zhao Chui picked up a large piece of pan-fried pork steak on the plate, dipped it in the sauce on the side, stuffed the whole piece into his mouth and chewed it.

Zhao Ming, who was sitting opposite him, chuckled and said, "That's all because a magical spice is produced here. This spice is not only fragrant when used in cooking, but can also greatly enhance the taste of various meats."

"What kind of spice is it?" Hou Yongsheng next to him asked curiously.

"This is a kind of grass that is native to the stone walls of high mountains. The locals call it mountain grass, mountain of mountains. Later, after this thing spread, I don't know why it became three grass, one, two, three and three."

"Growing on high mountain rock walls? Wouldn't it be very difficult to pick?"

Nanyuan Xiangzi, who was next to Hou Yongsheng, put another piece of meat steak on Hou Yongsheng's plate and asked casually.

"Yes. So after I learned about this, I immediately invested in building a greenhouse to artificially simulate its native environment, and then tried artificial cultivation. Unexpectedly, it failed at first."

"No, why is that? Doesn't it have to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon?" Zhao Chui said with a smile.

Since you can now eat this kind of pan-fried pork chop every day, it means that the cultivation of these three herbs must have been successful, so it is puzzling that Zhao Ming just said that artificial cultivation failed.

"That's not true." Zhao Ming shook his head, "This is not a fantasy world. Later, we simply divided into several control groups and tried all the influencing factors that we could think of, such as simulating mountain winds, simulating snowfall, and simulating low temperatures.

Air pressure, etc. After two years of research, we finally found a way to efficiently cultivate three herbs."

"Haha, these monsters have been unlucky since then. Although they have such strong reproductive capabilities, they have been eaten by us and become protected animals." Hou Yongsheng put his arm around Nanyuan Xiangzi's shoulders and smiled.

Zhao Chui also shook his head and smiled: "If the Salarian people knew that the biological weapons they worked so hard to develop have become frequent guests at our dinner table, I don't know what to think. I really want to see their expressions.

"

Perhaps Zhao Chui's wish was fulfilled. Somewhere in outer space dozens of light years away, the space was distorted. Then, a huge warship appeared out of thin air.

The next moment, many spaceships of different sizes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

In less than a minute, a complete fleet of more than twenty spaceships appeared.

If Zhao Ming were here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. This is the Salarian warship.

Zhao Chui's expression changed drastically.

"Brother Hammer, what's wrong?" Nanyuan Xiangzi asked strangely.

As Hou Yongsheng's girlfriend, she also followed Hou Yongsheng in calling Zhao Chui Brother Chui.

"Look at my crow's mouth." Zhao Chui slapped himself lightly, "As soon as I mentioned Salarian, their fleet arrived."

"ah?"

Everyone present was shocked.

Zhao Chui is not a person who likes to joke, let alone something as big as alien invasion.

What he said now must be true.

However, Zhao Ming did not receive any alarms from the remote detectors deployed around the sun, so he couldn't help but ask strangely: "How did you know their fleet was coming?"

"Brother Ming, it's like this. We deployed some remote monitors on the way back. Every time we come out of hyperspace, we will place one around a nearby star. In this way, if someone follows us, these remote monitors will send signals to

I...sent an alert to Anna."

Zhao Chui briefly explained about the monitor.

It turns out that the spaceships in Zhao Chui's previous fleet used hyperspace navigation technology. Every time they made a hyperspace jump, they would use a certain star as a reference coordinate, and after the jump, they would go to the vicinity of the star to replenish energy.

This aerospace technology and the warp engine belong to two different branches. One is leap forward, and the other is continuous advancement. It is difficult to say which one is better based on the navigation "speed" alone.

However, when using hyperspace to jump forward, entering and exiting hyperspace will leave relatively obvious traces, somewhat similar to footprints on the ground.

Some races with more advanced technology, such as the Salarians, have mastered the technology of calculating the opponent's location in and out of hyperspace through these traces.

In other words, as long as the time is not too long, the tracker can follow the "footprints" all the way back, even if the other party can no longer see it, the tracking will not be affected.

That's why Zhao Chui had left these monitors along the way. Once a spacecraft was found to appear in the monitoring data of multiple monitors, there was a high probability that the spacecraft was a hostile force following him.

"So...how many spaceships did the other party come to? How long do we have to prepare?"
