The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

  Chapter 1 Ten Thousand Years After Star Sea Survival

  Some people died, they really died!

  Some people die, it may just be the beginning of another journey.

Just a moment ago, Li Qing was holding a gray crystal full of cracks and covered with dry soil and gravel in a border jade wool market to bargain with the stall owner. The gray crystal full of cracks suddenly burst into light, and a powerful attraction came, sucking his soul into the crystal.

  The reason why we say soul is because we can clearly see the annihilation of our physical body before being swallowed into the crystal.

   Then, under the illumination of billions of stars, it continued to sleep for an unknown number of years until.

   Until he woke up again, he was surprised to find that he appeared in the body of a young man also named Li Qing.

  At first, I thought it was a seizure, but after receiving all the memories without hindrance, I realized that it was not a seizure, but a reincarnation.

  This Li Qing is the other Li Qing, both of the same origin, but one is the main consciousness is sleeping, the subconscious is reincarnated, born as a human being, when the main consciousness wakes up, the subconscious will naturally return to the main consciousness.

   After receiving eighteen years of subconscious memories, Li Qing was surprised to discover the magic of this new universe.

  Yes, new universe.

  One year into the new Milky Way calendar, the old universe is annihilated, a new universe is born, and Star Sea Survival begins.

  It is similar to many survival novels that Li Qing read on Qidian Chinese website before. All human beings on earth and many civilized races in the old universe were sent to the new universe, starting from a simple colonial ship to survive in the star sea.

  It was a magnificent and heroic era, and countless human ancestors on earth worked hard for human civilization to gain a foothold in this new universe.

  Originally, Li Qing should also be a member of that struggle, but at the moment when the annihilation of the old universe was transmitted, the cracked crystal in his hand was suddenly stimulated and opened, sucking his soul into it.

   Then there will be tens of thousands of years of deep sleep. When he wakes up, the time is already 10018 in the new galaxy calendar, and 10,000 years have passed since Star Sea Survival.

For 10,000 years, human beings have experienced countless wars, troughs, and brilliance. Countless pioneers went on and on, and finally not only survived the star sea, but also established the fourth star field of the Perseus spiral arm of the new Milky Way. They created an extremely brilliant civilization - the United Empire of Mankind, and joined the Interstellar Alliance of humanoid races in the new galaxy.

  After tens of thousands of years of development, today's United Empire of Mankind is powerful, and it is already one of the four permanent members of the Humanoid Star Alliance in this new galaxy with thousands of civilizations.

  The United Empire of Mankind is composed of 14 powerful star sea lords as the chosen family, and the aristocratic senate formed by 252 big and small star sea lords jointly rule the huge United Empire.

  The so-called military master refers to a top family with a private colonial planet and a powerful private fleet, similar to the ancient Jiedushi, or warlord.

  And Li Qing's luck in this life is quite good in general.

He was born in the Li family of Qinghe, one of the military masters. This Qinghe refers to the Qinghe galaxy. It has one natural planet, seven modified planets, more than a dozen large space habitation stations, a total population of more than 80 billion, and more than 30 active players. The ruling family of billions of prosperous galaxies.

  The Li family of Qinghe rose more than 300 years ago. Its ancestor, Li Gang, gained fame early with his innate talent at the purple epic level, and made a good career outside.

After that, he returned home and defeated other brothers to inherit the family business. He married the Yin family of Shangqiu, and his strength grew rapidly. More than two hundred years ago, Li Gang participated in the empire development war and destroyed the territory dispute between the fifth Faust star field and the United Empire of Mankind. An alien civilization has conquered a second-class continental planet.

  After eighty years of hard work, he finally obtained the recognition of the empire, formally joined the imperial aristocratic senate, and was promoted to a member of the military master, named Qinghe Li.

  Li Qing was born in such an aristocratic family, and it was a good birth.

   But it is a pity that he is not a direct descendant, but a side branch of the family, and he is a concubine.

  He doesn't even know who his mother is. His childhood memory is being carried back by his father, and he has never seen or heard his father say who his mother is.

  At the beginning, he still had some expectations, but as he grew up and his father's indifference over the years, he gradually understood that his mother probably had a bad background, and he might not only be a bastard, but more likely an illegitimate child.

   Fortunately, although my father and siblings didn't like it, they were brought to the Li family of Qinghe after all.

No longer counting on his father, Li Qing's biggest wish in the past ten years is to wait for the age of 18, and then follow the regulations of the entire United Human Empire, all the descendants of players who came to the new universe from the earth, as long as they successfully awaken their innate talents to obtain player status, We all have to go out and develop.

   From the descendants of the fourteen star sea lords to the descendants of ordinary civilians, as long as they can successfully awaken their innate talent and obtain the status of a player, they must go out to develop.

Although the star sea survival stage has passed, now is the star sea development and expansion stage, and the United Empire of Mankind has now established a brilliant civilization, but be prepared for danger in times of peace, the universe is not safe, and human civilization is now only active on one spiral arm of the new galaxy , there are an extremely large number of alien civilizations in the other three spiral arms of the new Milky Way and the huge galactic center.

  Those civilizations, like human beings, were also members of the Star Sea Survival. They also survived, and their strength is not inferior to human beings, and some of them are even stronger than human beings.

  The empire stipulates that latecomers cannot rest on the merits of their ancestors. Any descendant of a nobleman must go out to open up, and the future status and inheritance rights in the family will be determined by the achievements of the development. Three years in a phase, a total of ten years.

  Of course, there must be second generations who don’t want to go. This kind of aristocratic children who don’t want to open up will give up all inheritance rights by default.

  Of course Li Qing doesn't count on this inheritance right, what he values ​​is the resources provided by his family when he went out to open up.

  As the main family of the army, all descendants will provide a frigate and an initial capital of 100 million star yuan when they go out to develop, and this is what he fancyes.

   Anyway, the family will definitely not be able to do anything. It is better to leave the family early with the development funds and hang out outside. There is a battleship and 100 million starting funds. It is better than staying in the family.

  For Pioneer, 100 million capital is just a drop in the bucket, and even a destroyer can't afford it.

But if you don’t expect anything extravagantly and live outside with the development money, 100 million star dollars is definitely a lot of money. You can buy a large piece of land by finding a colonial star that is a bit evasive, buy some robots or The clones can live comfortably if they open a farm or a ranch or something and marry a wife.

  That's what Li Qing originally thought, but at this moment Li Qing's main consciousness is clear, and he holds the golden finger in his hand, so this idea must be thrown aside.

  Sitting in a room with simple decoration but full of sense of technology, Li Qing lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and a light curtain popped up, showing his bank account number, which was only 2.24 million, which was the pocket money he had saved over the years.

   This is the difference between a wealthy family and ordinary people. Even if he is just a **** who is never seen, without any industry, the basic monthly salary alone exceeds most of the migrant workers.

   "But it's still a little bit less."

  This amount of money can’t do much, we still have to wait for development funds.

  Close the bank interface, Li Qing rubbed his chin, and with a thought, the person had disappeared.

The surrounding space changed, and Li Qing instantly appeared in the cold starry sky from his room. It was pitch black in all directions, and there was nothing but a light source blooming below. He lowered his head, even though he had been sleeping here for tens of thousands of years, every time he saw him, he felt The shock of the soul.

   In the center of the galaxy below him, there are not stars in normal galaxies, but a gigantic miracle of the universe that is beyond the limit of his imagination, so that he doesn't know how to describe it.

  A pure white sphere whose size needs to be described in astronomical units, surrounded by extinguished stars.

   Literally extinguished.

   Without the information transmitted to him from the universe in the palm of his golden finger, he wouldn't even know what to call this super high-dimensional fortress called 'The Witness of the Stars'.

Yes, the official name of this thing is 'The Witness of the Stars', and it is the only thing that can be seen in the handheld universe. It is the wreckage of a super high-dimensional fortress that came from an ancient super-god-level civilization and compressed an entire huge river system into power. !

  Well, to be precise, it is damaged, and it is too much to say that it is a wreck. After all, the central system of this thing is still there, and a very small part of its functions can still be used.

   With a thought, Li Qinghua turned into a streamer and flew down to the wreckage of the super high-dimensional fortress of the "Star Witness" that replaced the star's blooming light to illuminate the galaxy, whose size can only be measured in astronomical units

  To be honest, as the master of the universe in the palm of his hand, he knows how terrifying the power of this thing is when it is in good condition.

There is no need to use his poor imagination and vocabulary to describe it, as long as you know that the energy core of this thing is a compressed galaxy larger than the Milky Way. During its heyday, it was surrounded by millions of compressed stars and black holes to attack And defense, the terrifying gravitational force under full force can forcibly pull a galaxy out of its original orbit, you know how outrageous it is.

  It's a pity that all this is past glory, even if this thing can be repaired, but the repair conditions

   It doesn't matter if you don't say it.

  As the master of the universe in the palm of his hand, Li Qing ignored the gravity of the remnants of extinguished stars floating around the high-dimensional fortress and directly threw himself into the fortress, appearing in a space surrounded by streamers of light inside the fortress.

The space is empty, and surrounded by streamers, there are countless irregularly moving streamers outside. He doesn't know what they are, because he has no authority to enter and can't know. He can only move within this small space of less than a thousand square meters, and enter An undamaged area inside the pile of wreckage that still remains intact.

That is part of the shipyard where this super high-dimensional fortress used to be. I don’t know how big it was. I only know that the remaining part has a shipbuilding capacity of up to 2300. It can almost start building two Titan super-flagships at the same time, or at the same time. Build 110 battleships and 2,300 frigates.

   Moreover, this super dock comes from a super god-level civilization, and it comes with a super-complete production line of weapons and accessories. In addition to ships, it can also manufacture accessories that come with blueprints, such as missiles and shells.

but

  Although this handheld universe looks shocking, it can only be used as a logistics base.

  With materials, drawings, and professional shipbuilding skills, you can use the shipyard inside to build warships.

In addition, this thing can only be used as a super warehouse before it is repaired. It can open a passage gap and put things with a diameter of no more than ten kilometers into the palm of the universe. Only dead objects, such as wrecked meteorites, cannot Take the initiative to take in the enemy warships.

  Of course, if a gap is opened and the enemy actively drills in, that's another matter.

  But under normal circumstances, no one will take the initiative to drill into unknown places.

  The palm universe comes from an unknown super god-level civilization in an unknown era.

  Normally speaking, the universe will come to an end every unknown number of billions of years, the old universe will be destroyed, and a new universe will be born in the singularity.

  But sometimes, there will be some super civilizations in the universe who are not reconciled to the end of their own civilization, and will try to build some ultimate technological creations, super civilization artifacts that can cross the end of the universe.

  Almost all supercivilizations fail, but some succeed.

   And the crystal ball he obtained, this palm universe, is a super civilization artifact that has successfully crossed the era, but is about to be destroyed.

He doesn't know what the civilization is called, because although this super civilization artifact has successfully escaped the end of the era, it has been severely damaged. When he first entered it, there was only one inside that was wrapped in an infinite terrifying storm, and there were countless extinguished stars floating inside. The star system of the star core, and a dilapidated super high-dimensional fortress in the center that is about to collapse at any time.

  After 10,000 years of deep sleep, the universe in that palm has stabilized and will not continue to collapse.

   Strictly speaking, the end of the era has been avoided, but it is still unknown whether the super god-level civilization still exists.

   But regardless of whether the super god-level civilization still exists, the universe in the palm now belongs to Li Qing, and he is now the master of the universe in the palm.

  Having this universe in his palm, he certainly won't be as content with being ordinary as his subconscious mind.

  Although it is no longer the Star Sea Survival stage, powerful enemies in the universe still exist, and with the end of the Star Sea Survival stage, the new universe rules are gradually perfected, which is a good opportunity for him to flex his muscles.
