Chapter 423 Through the Ocean Currents
Ten million ship-borne cores and one hundred million individual soldier cores.
Is this a large number?
Honestly, a lot!
But you have to ask, is it possible?
The answer is, of course you can!
According to the hundreds of prisoners, even the common small-scale Genesis Core veins usually have reserves of tens of thousands of ship cores or hundreds of thousands of individual soldier cores.
And dozens or even hundreds of these small mineral veins can be found on any planet.
Even on some planets with life, it is not uncommon to have hundreds or thousands of such veins.
So, why do those pirate groups have so few ships?
The reason is very simple. They only have so many people, so they naturally don't need more warships.
Therefore, the excess materials dug out were exchanged for various other supplies.
After all, this thing is hard currency in the universe.
Another reason is that they do not have the relevant mining technology.
Not only is there a lack of mining technology, but even the exploration technology is very backward.
Therefore, basically all planets have a lot of creation core reserves, and we don’t even know how many mineral veins have not been discovered.
So, 10 million ship-based cores, and 100 million individual-soldier cores.
Not really much...
------
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
The reorganization has been completed, and the total number of the First Fleet exceeds 500 ships.
In addition, each ship is equipped with an additional ship-borne creation core, which enables these warships to enter the planet's atmosphere, even land on the surface, and leave the planet.
At the same time, through the original engine and the anti-gravity propulsion of the Genesis Core, the ship can achieve a higher speed.
Starting from near Mars, all the way out of the solar system and reaching the mouth of the cosmic ocean current.
It only takes two days!
Even the time for acceleration and deceleration has been taken into account.
You can imagine how exaggerated the speed is.
These more than 500 warships also officially kicked off King's journey out of the solar system.
Two days later.
Under the command of Taotu, the First Fleet crossed the Kuiper Belt, reached the outskirts of the star system, and found the entrance to the cosmic ocean current.
At this moment, the flagship's main screen was displaying an area that looked like it was blurred with mosaics.
“Is this the cosmic current?”
"Yes, General, it's right here!"
The staff officer at the side nodded and gave an affirmative answer after hearing Taotu's words.
"Hmm...it looks like the entire space is deliberately blurred!"
"Regarding this point, according to the intelligence department, only our ocean current is like this, while other ocean currents in the universe present a visual effect similar to the surface of water!"
"I see!"
Peach Rabbit nodded.
Not to mention leaving the solar system, even leaving her home planet was only a few months ago for her.
So, everything is so new.
"Okay, according to the original plan, the vanguard fleet will enter first!"
"Yes, General!"
Soon, the order was given.
A cruiser and four destroyers soon emerged from the fleet.
The five warships, with the cruiser as the core and four destroyers surrounding it in an escort formation, slowly sailed towards the cosmic current.
A moment later, the five warships were completely submerged in the ocean current.
On the main screen in the flagship bridge, the blue dots on the scanning interface of the observation radar that originally represented the five friendly warships also disappeared instantly.
At the same time, communication with it was also cut off.
"It seems that I'm overthinking it!"
"I thought it was because the pirates' communication technology was too poor, so the fleet was unable to communicate with the outside world after entering the ocean current, but now it seems..."
"Even with our communication technology, we can't do that!"
"Have the rest of the warships follow up as planned. The logistics fleet will set out three hours after all the combat fleets have entered!"
Taotu smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Then he waved his hand and gave the order.
The reason why the logistics fleet was on standby for three hours was because...
According to the captured leaders of the five pirate groups, they left about 300 warships on the other side of the ocean current.
Used to block this ocean current.
Therefore, after the First Fleet passes through the ocean current, it will inevitably face a battle.
At the same time, because the fleet has to exit the ocean current from the same point, the entire fleet will be very dense when exiting the ocean current.
In this case, there would be almost no problem using King's Landing's warships to deal with the 300 warships.
But logistics ships are different. Their armor cannot be compared with that of battleships. The most important thing is...
These ships have no energy shields installed.
Therefore, if these ships were allowed to come together during the initial battle, it would easily cause unnecessary losses.
That's why they were asked to set off three hours after the combat fleet entered the ocean current.
That way, by the time they reached the other side, the battle would be over.
Naturally there is no danger.

According to what Junlin knows now.
The only cosmic ocean current left in the solar system connects to a star system 7.8 light-years away.
At the same time, it is also a star system without any life planet and any planets.
Note that there are no planets, not that there are no stars.
But it is precisely for this reason that no civilization has occupied this place.
Because there is no value here.
At the same time, because of this reason, it has never been discovered that there is actually a hidden cosmic ocean current leading to the solar system.
If a pirate ship hadn't discovered it by chance more than 800 years ago, even today...
There will be no foreign invasion incidents.
The distance of 7.8 light years can be crossed in just over ten days at the speed of cosmic ocean currents.
At this moment, outside the ocean current.
About 300 warships and more than 500 cargo ships formed an array.
Although at first glance it is an array to block the exit of ocean currents.
but...
Although there is no problem with the array, the people on the warships are a big problem.
The decks of almost every warship were crowded with people.
Either they play cards or they have a party.
Anyway, just like the pirate groups in the pirate world...
There is no difference except that it is larger in scale and truly cosmic.
At this time, the King's Vanguard Fleet, consisting of five warships, slowly sailed out of the ocean current.
When a ship sails out of the outlet of an ocean current, no special visual effects are produced, and space is very dark. Unless you specifically detect it, you would not notice that something has flown out of it.
Not to mention, these pirates are either fast asleep or drinking like crazy at this moment.
There was no vigilance at all.
Seeing that the other side did not respond, the five warships of the vanguard fleet changed their original plan and did not launch an attack.
Waiting for the arrival of the follow-up main fleet.
