Building a sentry array is not something that can be completed in one or two years.
A large Sentinel array requires more than just a huge detection array.
At the same time, certain modifications need to be made to the surrounding galaxies, especially the implantation of some equipment.
The existence of these devices is to monitor all subspace activities within these galaxies.
Normally, if an expeditionary fleet wants to attack a galaxy that is under galactic defense, it will make a long journey and stop in the star systems along the way to briefly allow the subspace engine to rest and recharge.
This is the time when this type of equipment is working for reconnaissance.
These devices are passive detection devices, so they are basically undetectable.
And sometimes, being discovered and destroyed is also a reward.
One way of observing the Sentinel Array is to use large, multi-directional astronomical telescopes to observe any light that is different from the norm.
In addition, the fluctuations of the subspace are very sensitive to the Sentinel array and can be easily sensed.
Even if a fleet does not pass through the star system but jumps out of the subspace outside the galaxy, it will be under the supervision of the sentinel array.
Following Li Xin's order, the capital star field and the Dalhash star field are both building sentry arrays.
In other words, it was only with the war reparations that Li Xin was able to let go and freely build such giant structures.
The battleships are built but no one drives them, so the construction speed is limited, but there is no such concern for giant structures for the time being.
The continuous victories have allowed the Galaxy Defense Company to obtain so many resources.
Outside the capital galaxy is a vast resource galaxy, including Deneb, Walker, and Sirius A. These three are life planets, and there are galaxy defense lines above each planet. Deneb, as the capital planet, is a star fortress defense line, and the other two are star barrier defense lines.
In the resource galaxy, there is only one basic star base.
In these resource-rich galaxies, star bases generally have star power stations, small low-gravity mineral smelting centers, small nano-alloy furnaces, and civilian space docks.
Transport ships, mining ships, and other ships can be built using this type of space dock.
There will be no cloning chambers in the star base. This is to prevent the cloning technology from being exposed after the star base is breached.
However, within the star base, improved models of robots such as the Walker Guardian can be produced for basic mining work.
Whenever resources accumulate for a certain period of time, transport ships will be used to transport these resources to Tianjin 4 or the Walker galaxy to supply the development of the planet.
Four or five months away from Tianjin, this is the border defense line of the capital galaxy.
There are no planets with life in this galaxy, but it is a hub for navigation in the universe.
The border fortresses of general interstellar civilizations are all built based on this type of galaxy.
The star fortress line of the Galaxy Defense is no exception.
There is a huge star fortress in this galaxy. This star fortress has not been completely completed yet, but it will definitely be completed during the armistice period.
The sentinel array of the capital galaxy was also built directly in this galaxy, which is the Danwa 1 galaxy.
It would only take sixteen months to go directly from here to Moranok's territory.
If the Sentinel Array is completed, as long as Moranok's fleet moves towards the capital galaxy of the galactic defense, the Sentinel Array will be able to detect their traces in just a few months.
While the main body of the huge Sentinel Array was being constructed, more than a hundred engineering ships were sailing out of this galaxy.
Their goal is to advance as far as possible towards the territory of the Moranok Interstellar Lordship and deploy equipment in the star systems along the way to serve as an auxiliary to the sentinel array.
The latest technology, the subspace traction trap, was also used in the construction of the border star fortress.
This is different from a regular warp trap. This warp traction trap has a larger range and can span several surrounding galaxies.
Once this traction trap is opened, the enemy fleet will be unconsciously attracted to the star fortress defense line of the Danwa 1 system while traveling in the subspace.
This makes it more difficult for the enemy to cross the line of defense and directly attack the rear system with a small fleet force.
Even if these fleets can escape the subspace traction trap, they will disturb the defenders in the star fortress and send out mobile fleets to provide support in time.
This star fortress defense line can normally be comparable to the combat effectiveness of several of Li Xin’s main fleets, one or two thousand ships.
In other words, the star fortress is too large and inconvenient to move. Otherwise, Li Xin would have wanted to drive the star fortress directly into the enemy fleet and show his invincibility.
The firepower and combat effectiveness of a star fortress defense line are comparable to Li Xin’s three or four main fleets, or even stronger.
The only flaw is that it can only defend passively.
The cost is not low, but in order to protect the nest, we should save where we can and spend where we can.
Now that their homeland has fallen, no matter how many resources they have, they are useless. Just like the Dalhash hegemony, all the resources they have accumulated have fallen into Li Xin's hands and have been used for construction and consumption over the years.
In future combat arrangements, Li Xin will leave two to three main fleets in the capital galaxy as a mobile force to guard the border galaxies.
At the same time, the Sentinel Array is used to monitor the movements of Moranok, if the main force of their fleet does not directly attack the capital system or the Dalhash star field.
Then these two fleets will continue to set out as subsequent support forces to support the main fleet and catch up with the main fleet.
In addition, in Li Xin's direction, if there are too many enemy fleets attacking, the two large space docks in Tianjin and Walker galaxies will work at full capacity to produce small and medium-sized destroyers and frigates.
This type of ship is not suitable for simply sending them on long-distance operations, but it is more suitable for guarding work relying on the powerful firepower of the star fortress.
In half a year, hundreds of frigates and one or two hundred destroyers can be produced.
These fleets can quickly replenish the losses on the front line, and if the defensive battle turns into a stalemate, the current galactic defense is not afraid.
Ships produced in the Tianjin 4 and Walker galaxies can reach the front line in a few months.
As for the enemy, it would take several years to break through the defense line of a star fortress, and there is no way it can do that unless they use overwhelming numbers of ships and attack without regard for losses.
