Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 705: Perseus Arm
Of course, before mining, the entire satellite fragment mine must be thoroughly explored to ensure that it is extremely safe, so as to avoid the existence of creations like Silver Mist that may cause heavy losses to mankind. At the same time, safety measures must also be prepared.

After the Silver Fog incident, humans have been on high alert for unfamiliar planets and unfamiliar places. The Silver Fog incident has also become an indelible part of human history of the starry sky.

Not only did humans dispatch tens of thousands of unmanned probes themselves, they also asked the Chiyan civilization to dispatch a large number of exploration spacecraft to conduct investigations. Of course, the three races of Kuntai, Nair, and Gnoll were not idle either. Like Chiyan, they also took the lead for humans. Their individual lives directly drove third-level civilization spacecraft, warships, and exploration spacecraft equipped with warp engines to the satellite fragments site for on-site exploration.

Far from being unhappy with the arrangements made by humans, these vassal races were very motivated to complete their tasks. This was because by completing the tasks assigned by human civilization or contributing to the entire human civilization fleet, they would gain contribution points, which they could then use to exchange for their own technological products from humans, or even purchase a Level 4 civilization residential spaceship.

Under such temptation, several other races also started to fight internally, and they had no choice but to work hard.

After rounds of exploration, humans finally confirmed that the rocky satellite fragment in the orbit of the gas planet was not dangerous, and even no technological remains were found. It seems that the unknown civilization cleaned up very cleanly when it left, without leaving a single screw.

Humanity's plan to infer the technological level of an unknown civilization through technological creations has failed, but there is no need to be disappointed. After all, humans didn't have high expectations for this in the first place, and if they can't find it, they can save the trouble of each of them testing and worrying about it.

After the detection information from each party was summarized on the human flagship Lyra, scientists quickly inferred the power of the unknown civilization's weapons based on the size and distribution of the satellite fragments. In all likelihood, it was a star destroyer like ours.

With this conclusion, combined with the fact that unknown civilizations also take this route, their technological level is obvious, and it is very likely that it is about the same technological level as humans today. However, the time factor must also be taken into account. When the unknown civilization arrived here, it was at the same level as humans, not at this time, because they may have broken through the original level after years of development.

However, this is not the focus of this human exploration of the satellite fragment mining site. There are two main focuses of human exploration. One is to ensure safety, and the other is to confirm that the situation in front of us is indeed the result of mining by an unknown civilization, rather than other wars or other situations.

In other words, there really was a civilization that, at some unknown time, crossed over from the Perseus Arm and arrived at the Orion Arm.

After reaching this conclusion, the human leaders thought of a very famous organization: the Perseus Community!
"General Yue, we are really going to enter the sphere of influence of the Yingxian Community this time." A staff officer spoke up in Yue Yuan's office.

Besides him, there were several other people present at the scene, including several members of the command headquarters, Jupiter, Manyuemei, Yi Kai and others. Except for Yi Kai who came here to talk to Yue Yuan about life sciences out of boredom, everyone else came here to discuss their upcoming arrival at the Perseus Arm.

Just as the staff officer said, they were worried that they would enter the territory of the Perseus Community on their first trip. After all, they had just arrived here and humans had already discovered traces of an unknown civilization in the Perseus Arm. Who knew if they would be discovered by the Perseus Community once they reached the Perseus Arm.

"Could it be that Staff Officer He has forgotten that, as far as we know, the Perseus Community, as a Level 6 civilization organization, only means that the founder of their organization was born in the Perseus Arm, not that they are definitely in the Perseus Arm. You know, the Galactic Heart Alliance broadcast also mentioned the Perseus Community... Well, when the Awakener 'Phantom' took us away, the Perseus Community also participated in the battle, which means that the Perseus Community appeared in the Orion Arm." At this time, a member of the command center who was sitting steadily on the sofa immediately helped Staff Officer He to recover the memory of that period of time from who knows how many years ago. He continued, "Besides, given the nature of the Reapers, if they knew that the Perseus Community had been hiding in the Perseus Arm, there is no reason for them not to go to the Perseus Arm to look for..."

"That makes sense!" Seeing everyone talking, Yi Kai, who had been listening for a while, couldn't help but speak up, "In my opinion, it's more than that. Didn't the awakener 'Phantom' say before that he was going to fight the Reapers? That's a fight between the civilization of the extragalactic galaxy and the civilization of the Milky Way. I think as the top power in the Milky Way, the Perseus Community has no reason not to participate in such a big event. Even if they don't participate, they will definitely focus on that.

So even if their nest is still in the Perseus Arm, we don't have to worry too much in the short term. We are just looking for the small universe left by the pioneers. Once we find it, we will be safe. After that, we can return to the Orion Arm along the route we are taking now, right? "

"Having said that, has Academician Yi ever thought about why that unknown civilization wanted to travel from the Perseus Arm to the Orion Arm?" A man from the command headquarters who was thinking about something turned his head to look over.

"What does this have to do with our search for the small universe left behind by the pioneers?" Yi Kai also turned his head to look over, and the two men looked at each other.

"Of course it is related. Why would an unknown civilization leave the Perseus Arm? We think it is impossible to cross the spiral arm for no reason, unless..." Manyuemei put down the teacup in her hand and joined the conversation. She said: "Unless something happened in the Perseus Arm that year, so that some civilization took the risk of crossing the spiral arm in order to find a way out. Well, of course there is another possibility, that is, the unknown civilization also knew that there are some advanced civilization relics in the Orion Arm like we do now."

"We don't know when that unknown civilization passed by here, and that unknown civilization might just be a wandering civilization!" Another member of the command headquarters also spoke, treating Yue Yuan's office as a meeting room.

"What's the point of discussing this now? No matter what, we have come this far. We certainly cannot go back. We must go to where the Pioneer microcosm is." Zhu Pitt, who was standing nearby, could not help but express his opinion as a group of people kept talking.

He was right, we must go.

But it is not completely correct, because reasonable analysis can better help humans who arrive at the Perseus Arm to understand the situation of the star field they are in, which will have a direct impact on daily navigation and the strategies they adopt against possible alien civilizations they may encounter.

"Do you still remember the news about the destruction of the solar system that we got from the fake interstellar trading market of the Red Flame Civilization?" At this time, Yue Yuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked around at everyone and spoke.

"Director General, are you saying that the civilization that destroyed the solar system and the Centauri trinity system might be related to this unknown civilization?" Everyone must have remembered this incident, so as soon as Yue Yuan finished speaking, someone answered, "That's not right. I remember that news said that the one who destroyed the solar system was a level 5 civilization. Level 4 civilizations don't have the ability to destroy stars."
