Solar system.
The great changes in the universe have lasted for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the Empire has been exploring the external situation. However, no matter how the Sentinel Array explores, the end of the universe has not been explored.
Even within the millions of light-years that the Empire had explored, it had not encountered any civilization, let alone the territories that had been separated from the Empire.
From the Emperor's final intelligence, Zheng Gan knew that universes like the Three-Body Universe, the Warhammer Universe, the Interstellar Universe, and so on had already merged into the Stellar Universe.
The newborn universe is like a new map, and everything is very different from before.
The fluctuations caused by the fusion of the universe are still continuing, but Zheng Gan has already arranged people to explore the outside world during the intervals between the strength and weakness of the space storm.
The subspace and virtual realm that could be sensed at any time became ethereal and unpredictable. Zheng Gan could sense their existence, but could not contact them.
The expansion of the universe increases the distances between matter and matter.
The universe is still expanding, but the number of star systems in the universe will not increase. Although there are still endless universes being sucked into this super universe, the star systems between universes are now more independent.
Even the time for superluminal travel has increased several times compared to before.
For the civilizations that survived this cosmic fusion, the new universe made all their previous accumulations vanish into thin air, and everything had to start from scratch.
Recalling the newly born galaxy, it turned out that everything had omens, but he didn't pay attention.
The star torch transformed by the Emperor was quite exaggerated. Zheng Gan was sure that other citizens of the empire scattered throughout the universe could sense its presence.
This is the last advantage left to the Empire by the sleeping Emperor. As long as the Empire can return to its pre-disintegration state, it will become the strongest force in this new universe.
After hundreds of years of exploration, Zheng Gan has now figured out some of the tricks of this new universe.
All previous scientific research values needed to be recalculated, and a large amount of technology came to a standstill. During these hundreds of years, the empire not only searched for scattered fragments outside, but also restored the country's basic technology and stability to a normal level.
However, this so-called normal level means that the empire can perfectly control the remaining one-third of its territory.
Protected by ether energy, this one-third of the empire's territory still maintains the layout of the old universe, and the distance between galaxies is relatively compact compared to the new universe.
Due to communication and other reasons, it took the empire hundreds of years to reintegrate the forces within the territory.
Now, it's time for another Age of Exploration.
Although the universe is still evolving, the seeds of life have already sprouted in the universe.
There are also some sparks of fire that have been preserved by some means by civilizations of the old era and are also burning in the new universe.
Most of the Empire's fleets had previously been assigned to various colonies by the Emperor. At this stage, the Imperial Navy is composed of newly recruited soldiers, who embarked on a new expedition under the leadership of some veterans.
The first stop at the moment is the star system closest to the empire's territory, 324 light-years away from the solar system.
According to the intelligence transmitted back by the Sentinel Array and data comparison, this star system was not in the Empire's previous database. It was obviously a galaxy in another universe, or a formed galaxy.
The distance of more than 300 light years took the Empire's navy a full month to reach.
The current universe has already severely suppressed the technology of the old era. According to Ding Yi's calculations, if the universe is completely stabilized, all previous means of superluminal navigation will be suppressed to the speed of light.
Considering the current size of the universe, it is possible that galaxies will be completely unable to communicate with each other in the future, and the universe will enter a cold and silent stage.
Therefore, the development of a new generation of space-time engines and star gates and other devices has been put on the highest level of the empire at this stage.
When the empire's fleet arrived at the star system closest to the empire, Liu Qi, the fleet commander, was surprised to find that this galaxy was still in the making and was not at all what the sentinel array had reported.
This discovery gave Zheng Gan a headache. Have the rules for data transmission changed?
When will this end with human power?
This extreme discomfort was not unique to Zheng Gan, but was experienced by all the generals who had come into contact with the empire's highest technological achievements.
As a result, it is the civilians who were not on the front line who are most adaptable to the new universe.
These loyal recruits greatly eased the tense atmosphere in the army.
The empire's development was progressing slowly in this not very efficient environment.
It wasn't until the sixth month of the first millennium of the new universe that the Empire captured a rather ancient signal at its outermost outpost.
The signal uses an encryption format that the Empire abandoned six hundred years ago, so it can be determined with absolute certainty that this message came from one of the Empire's scattered colonies.
It seems the Emperor's Astronomican still brings hope to his people in these chaotic times.
The message that was deciphered in an instant has appeared on Zheng Gan's case.
Tassadar?
This message was originally sent by Tassadar in the interstellar universe.
According to the news, after the fusion of the universe began, the Protoss and Kerrigan relied on the energy of the planetary battleship Aiur and other imperial fleets to survive this cosmic change.
But when they regained their senses, they had arrived in an unfamiliar star field. If it were not for the star torch representing the empire that still pierced the endless darkness and announced the existence of the empire, they would not know what to do.
Tassadar immediately passed the message to the Astronomican, and said without hesitation that if the empire really disappeared, they would hold up the empire's banner and continue to fight!
After analyzing the speed of information transmission, the Empire roughly calculated the location of Tassadar.
160,000 light years...
This is a distance that is difficult for the empire to cross at this stage. Even fixed-point signal transmission is estimated to take twenty years, and it will take more than a hundred years to dispatch a fleet to reach the star field where Tassadar is located.
After repeated calculations, Zheng Gan decided to let Tassadar act in his favor there first. The Empire would contact him once every twenty years, and they would confirm each other's status and wait for a technological breakthrough.
With Kerrigan's Zerg there, Zheng Gan didn't think they would suffer any losses over there. Instead, the aliens over there should be careful.
The news that a branch of the empire had been contacted greatly shook the morale of the country.
Everything will be fine, right?
