Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1468: Chapter 833: Interstellar Blockade

The Insect Beast War of Omgeria is a colossal threat that instills fear across the Cosmos Domain. However, with the arrival of the Alliance’s Vanguard Army and their resolute attitude, they managed to secure victory in the seventh exit battle with considerable sacrifices, successfully defending the Steel Flame Furnace. This realization led them to discover that the disaster was perhaps not as insurmountable as imagined, at least not a true apocalypse.

The Alliance’s forces, under the leadership of Tai Shichen, arrived as saviors, not calculating every gain and loss. On the battlefield, they often stood valiantly in the most arduous frontlines, plugging the biggest gaps until the crisis was resolved, before handing the defense lines over to locally organized troops for defense.

Not treating their forces as disposable assets or cannon fodder to be thrown to the frontline first gained them considerable favor.

—Although, Tai Shichen hadn’t actually considered this. He simply thought from a military standpoint, handing key battles to local troops might create troubles, ultimately requiring him to clean up the mess. It was better to solve the problems from the outset.

He fought for a total of nine months across the five star realms surrounding Omgeria. The construction of the Unbreakable Defense Line was finally proclaimed successful.

The eleven exits of the Omgeria Star Realm to the outside world were entirely blocked. The eleven worlds on the outer side of the Star Realm Tunnel had already fallen under human control, significantly curbing the Green Skin Orcs’ overflow.

Of course, this so-called ’blocking’ is theoretically incomplete. After all, if the Navy cannot surpass the opponent, and the perturbation points of the Star Realm Tunnel cannot be entirely locked down, the enemy could bypass this difficult planet to attack other places.

However, in confronting the Green Skins and the Insect Swarm, this issue isn’t too serious. These two races aren’t entirely brainless, but strategically, they rarely choose to bypass immediate targets to attack elsewhere. Facing difficulty, unlike human civil wars or dealing with Chaos Traitors, they don’t suddenly traverse the Star Realm Tunnel to migrate to other places. The Green Skins and Insect Swarm usually choose to tackle head-on.

On the other hand, the Alliance also introduced a new technology.

[Cosmic Lock].

It’s one of the few highly practical technologies developed by Gu Hang over the past few decades. Its product can create a gigantic device with a diameter of about 900 meters, designed to suppress all subspace-based navigation methods within a radius of one light year around the world where the device is installed.

Once subspace navigation is suppressed, virtually all current interstellar navigation methods are affected.

Old subspace navigation becomes unusable, complicating Chaos invasions; the Star Realm Tunnel essentially utilizes subspace navigation methods, albeit safer. When subspace navigation is forbidden, it becomes inaccessible too. The Green Skins and Insect Race’s navigation also relies on subspace.

Of course, conventional navigation methods can still be employed. However, under regular sub-light speed navigation, covering a distance of three light years is far too lengthy, taking up a substantial time frame, often stretching into tens of years.

Such lengthy travel times are hardly acceptable during war. Moreover, venturing out into the uncertain cosmic astronomical conditions makes finding a perturbation point complex, with the risk of getting lost.

Navigating astray in subspace is dangerous. Is the real universe particularly safe? Getting lost in a deserted universe is equally unfavorable.

Placing the Cosmic Lock on a planet essentially means that incoming fleets can’t expect to leave. The attacker’s sole option is to conduct ground assaults to destroy the Cosmic Lock station and thus conclude the ordeal.

This equipment is expensive, almost comparable to a cruiser. Yet, in terms of strategic value, its worth is remarkably high.

Upon extracting this technology, Gu Hang eagerly ordered the rapid establishment of production lines in the Dragonhawk Star Domain.

So far, there are three production lines, situated in different worlds, with over twenty completed units.

Primarily, they were dispatched to the North Line battlefields for installation in key fortress worlds, blocking the incessant eruptions from the Scarlet Scar that continuously harass and assault the defense lines.

Its impact was substantial; the abruptly invading Chaos Great Enemy was left dumbfounded. They had no choice but to face the complete defenses of a fortress world and launch ground assaults, ultimately meeting their demise against impenetrable defenses, suffering severe setbacks.

Consequently, they either met total annihilation during the fortress world assault or retreated in dismay, utilizing conventional navigation to escape from the Cosmic Lock’s encirclement and seek new perturbation points to flee.

Overall, life was tough.

Even though instances of fortress worlds being forcibly breached occasionally occurred, the price the enemy paid was often immense. Moreover, human forces could rely on fortress worlds to hold out for a substantial period. After a Cosmic Lock facility was destroyed, human reinforcements typically arrived shortly thereafter.

With the introduction of the Cosmic Lock as a crucial weapon, the overall stability of the North Line defense significantly improved.
