Within a defined area, the total number of interstellar subspace routes connected remains constant, but the method of connection can be manipulated.
By injecting enough energy into the channel at once, it can be artificially cut off. The cut channel will then regenerate at another location and connect to other adjacent galaxies.
Since Bai Yi's current galaxy was short of resources and had fought a major war without sufficient preparation, the best option was to blow up the galaxy and then redirect the newly grown routes to other galaxies that were under heavy defense.
It was a week before the Third Fleet arrived.
The one coming this time was the 6th Assault Battalion of the 3rd Fleet. The style of this battalion was very different from all the fleets Bai Yi had seen before.
The main force of the entire assault brigade is high-speed battlecruisers, accompanied by a moderate number of interceptors and electronic warfare spacecraft.
Light firepower is mainly composed of tactical destroyers and assault frigates, highlighting high maneuverability and high firepower.
Among them is the Command Destroyer, a rare ship type in the entire Alliance fleet. These Command Destroyers are equipped with a group jump field, also known as a cluster jump knife. When activated, these jump knives can carry allies around the Command Destroyer along with them. If necessary, they can even carry bombs and other objects, making them extremely tactical.
This squadron perfectly embodies the characteristics of the Third Fleet.
The Third Fleet is the Galactic Alliance's rapid reaction fleet and also has the smallest number of ships of all the fleets.
The entire fleet is composed of high-speed ships, all of which are manufactured using the latest military technology, and the officers and soldiers on each ship are elite troops mobilized from all over the place.
These advantages give the Third Fleet unparalleled individual combat capabilities. If the First Fleet is the Alliance's shield, then the Third Fleet is the Alliance's sword.
Whenever a major emergency occurs, the Third Fleet will rush to the scene with its proud mobility advantage, and then complete the mission in a short time with its extremely strong combat capability.
Just like this time, after receiving the news that the battle had broken out at the Leo Star Gate, the Third Fleet immediately dispatched a large force from the nearest area to provide reinforcements. When they arrived at the ruins of Leo, the Second Fleet, which had received the order almost at the same time, was still chasing them furiously.
The commander of the Sixth Battalion this time was named Karrus. He was a rock creature and one of the few non-human commanders above the battalion level in the Galactic Alliance.
As a representative of the wisdom of rock creatures, Kallus's appearance is somewhat similar to that of a centaur in order to reduce the pressure transmitted by his weight to the ground. His upper body is humanoid and his lower body has four legs. However, his lower body does not stretch backward like a centaur, but remains upright like a human.
Simply put, humans have an extra third and fourth legs located in the lower abdomen and tailbone.
These rocky creatures were first discovered during the Great Crusade in a void light-years from Earth, born in a stellar nursery that had been depleted of its nutrients.
This is a small cloud of space dust. Over the past tens of billions of years, it has given birth to a dozen stars, all of which are small and have been flung out of the dust cloud by the gravitational attraction of each other.
The remaining gas was too small to form new stars in a limited amount of time, so it condensed into smaller celestial bodies, including the asteroid belt that floats in deep space.
The orbits of these asteroid belts are very stable and there is almost no collision between them, which has created favorable conditions for the birth of life to a certain extent.
These lives, born between meteorites, communicate with each other through electrical signals and maintain their own life forms by absorbing ingredients from the surrounding interstellar dust.
By the time humans discovered them, they had already grown to considerable numbers. Some of the meteorites had been spliced together to form a single entity. This spliced-together form is believed to be the adult form of the Rockman, whose thinking speed and intelligence were greatly enhanced.
In the following hundreds of years of contact, some of the more intelligent stone men began to mimic human form. They began to learn the common language of the Galactic Alliance and gradually integrated into human society.
Because the stone men are made of meteorites, they have no sense of pain and their ability to adapt to various extreme environments is better than that of most races. Therefore, this type of species is often forced to work in dangerous environments.
For example, mining operations in the asteroid belt.
Fortunately, they do not regard these non-charged stones as the same kind.
"I am Captain Carlus of the Sixth Assault Battalion, Third Fleet of the Pan-Galactic United Fleet. I request a meeting with the J Galaxy's border defenders."
Carl Russ shouted on the public channel.
Bai Yi immediately connected to the other party's communication and transferred it to a private link.
"Hello, Commander Karrus. I'm Border Guard 9527, you can call me Bai Yi."
Bai Yi saluted. Although Border Guard, as an artificial intelligence program, did not need to follow military etiquette, his intuition told him that for a rigid species like the Stone Man, following military etiquette was the most efficient way.
Karlus also returned the greeting.
His raised arm looked as thick as Bai Yi's waist. Due to the stone man's naturally sharp edges and corners, Karlus's entire body was filled with explosive power.
"I believe you are already well aware of my background. If you have no further questions, we will set off immediately."
Karlus didn't exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Of course. But before we go, please allow me to do some packing and preparations."
"You have twelve hours."
Bai Yi nodded.
He had received a dispatch order from the Galactic Alliance government two days ago.
The order stated that the Second and Third Fleets would once again head to Leontopodium and rebuild a stargate there. The Third Fleet would then be responsible for blasting the C11 star system at the Pass and taking over Bai Yi's position to defend the stargate.
Bai Yi needs to follow a special person back to the Galactic Alliance to undergo a three-month AI review.
The so-called AI review is a process of manual screening of deployed border guards, which is somewhat similar to a regular physical examination.
Usually, some border guards who did not obtain the original personality will be reviewed when they develop similar self-awareness in the later stage.
To determine their personality tendencies and respective traits.
Bai Yi happened to fit this requirement. He was just a little curious. He knew the review could be done online, so why did he have to go in person this time?
However, he did not have too many doubts. After all, the tachyon network here had not been fully connected, and many things were indeed inconvenient to do.
