Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 209 Jump Engine
A tense atmosphere spreads inside the Toronto Trade Hub space station.

As warning messages were sent from the space station to every cargo ship, the space station, a service area for long-distance freight, suddenly fell into a huge panic.

This space station is not only to curb the momentum of pirate plunder, but also a service area on the long-distance space voyage.

"The space station is under attack and is about to fall. Everyone is asked to evacuate immediately. The space station is under attack and is about to fall. Everyone is asked to evacuate immediately!"

The space station itself is also a huge shopping mall area. A large number of people come and go, which will inevitably lead to countless consumption. Many people see the opportunity to turn the space station into a huge commercial center.

There are nearly ten million people in this space station at this moment.

Some are long-distance space transport drivers who stay here, and some come for tourism and then come down for sightseeing after passing through this service area.

The announcement and the air defense sirens that echoed throughout the space station caused the crowd to become extremely panicked.

A large amount of people began to flow towards the dock, and all the spaceships that had just entered the station and those that had not yet entered the station directly anchored and left the port, turned around and ran away.

Portman's standard fleet was painted with the pirate logo, and the commander of the general fleet was Dean, a mercenary hired directly from the Predator Empire.

"Report, enemy signal appears behind our fleet."

To say who has the strongest pirate commanding ability in this universe, there is no doubt that it is the Predator Empire.

They dared to rob and extort anyone, and naturally they also took advantage of Portman.

But while one side is hostile, the other side can also cooperate.

This time the pirate attack plan was based on Portman's senior management directly making an employment request to the Predator Empire.

They provide the sharpest commanders to command their 300 battleships to launch attacks on human space stations.

The direct reason why they were able to avoid the opponent's space station detection this time was because all of Portman's standard battleships used jump engines and jumped directly from several jump positions.

The jump engine is different from the hyperspace engine. The hyperspace engine jumps between galaxies along the existing hyperspace routes.

There is a hyperspace channel between these two galaxies.

The reason why the space station's detector can detect information on other galaxies within a week.

It is the detection signal that probes all the way along the hyperspace channel, and then completes the detection of distant galaxies.

The jump engine is still many jumps away from the target galaxy, and jumps directly between the two galaxies without using the hyperspace channel.

It is a real time and space jumping technology.

"The rear? Why are there enemies in our rear? Did humans lay an ambush here early in the morning?"

Dean is a marine creature from the Arras civilization that was once destroyed by Field. Now he has to wear a special helmet even in the spacecraft.

His thinking movements made the water in his helmet sway.

"It's a group of cosmic creatures. They seem to have followed the short hole left by our jump and ran out of the high-dimensional space."

Although commanders hired by the Marauder Empire were used, the spacecraft was mainly composed of Portman's soldiers.

Even if they have changed out of their uniforms.

"They're just a bunch of cosmic creatures. They're nothing compared to our giant steel ship."

"Yes!"

The soldiers took the order, and soon 300 battleships among the [-] battleships turned their main guns.

Thousands of huge gamma ray cannons were fired, and in just a moment, the group of cosmic creatures that came down from the high-dimensional space were smashed into pieces.

"Report, the opponent has lost its combat capability, and the damage rate is as high as 99.9%. Do you want to conduct a second round of bombardment?" "No, there are only a few left."

"Yes."

The engines of the 300 battleships were turned on, and they headed towards the Toronto Space Station with all their strength.

Dean couldn't help but sigh when he saw the humans escaping in a hurry.

The jump engine is indeed powerful, and their Marauder Empire does not have this technology yet.

He said why every time he grabbed Portman, the opponent's support came so quickly. It turned out that they flew directly over through the jump engine.

Usually when he leads the fleet to rob other civilizations, he needs to deliberately avoid the space station.

Because the space station can detect their traces when they are far away and call for fleet support as quickly as possible.

Therefore, every time they move near the space station, they will be attacked by the opponent's regular army.

I have never tried this before. They all stuck to their faces, and the opponent's fleet noticed them and started to flee.

You may have such an experience when catching a lone merchant ship, but this is a super trade center that ranks among the top in the entire Eastern Galaxy!

Nearly a million ships pass through this galaxy every minute, and at this moment they are like wolves among sheep.

You can start killing like crazy. This feeling was something you never experienced when you were a thief before.

But the most important task is to destroy the Toronto Space Station first.

Without this space station, it will be very difficult for the other party to build another one in a short time.

During this window period, ships were either prohibited from passing through, or they had to endure endless plunder by their pirates.

No matter which aspect it is, it is intolerable to human beings.

But it’s okay if you can’t bear it. If you could bear it, you wouldn’t want to do it anymore.

Events in the Toronto Galaxy were quickly transmitted via quantum communication to President Chen Weifeng's secretary, who was attending the Galactic United Organization Conference.

In the solemn conference, nearly 2000 civilized representatives are currently participating in the meeting.

This time, what Chen Weifeng wants to fight for for mankind is the status of a formal member of the Galactic United Organization.

Although there are more than 2000 civilization representatives here, less than 50% actually have formal seats in the Galactic United Organization.

Quillak had an official seat, and this time it was under his nomination that mankind began to apply for membership in the Galactic United Organization.

Although joining the Galactic Federation will not bring actual benefits.

But it can get the support of more people when encountering danger or unfair treatment.

After all, if you join the Galactic United Organization, then everyone becomes a family.

If you are bullied by a big country today, you may be bullied by me tomorrow. Therefore, small countries are very united in the Galactic United Organization.

Once a big country treats a small country brutally, the matter will be brought to the Galactic Federation.

It is easy to attract the sympathy of small countries and unite to impose various sanctions on big countries.

It is true that one or two small countries are fine, but if the number is too large, the big countries will not be able to withstand it.
