My science and technology museum

As the brightest region in the entire Milky Way, the galactic core contains a large number of dense and old stars, which also makes this star field relatively high in danger.

When large Star Destroyers arrive here, they may encounter various emergencies.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire silver core, there is only the Blue Space, the headquarters of the Civilization Administration, a space fortress created by a powerful civilization. The others are all naturally born celestial bodies in the universe.

But today this star field welcomed a familiar friend.

Although the Dreadnaught is also transformed from a Star Destroyer, it can withstand the passage of wormhole space channels, and the overall performance of the hull is still much better than that of a Star Destroyer, so it can be parked here as smoothly as the Blue Space. Affected by the silver core environment.

"It's finally here. I hope there will be some good news."

In the battleship control hall, Xu Lei carefully looked at the familiar inverted pyramid-style space fortress on the screen, and couldn't help but think this way.

At this time, he was very close to the headquarters of the Civilization Administration. It could be said that he was right in front of him.

Although he didn't know why he didn't receive the call request from the super smart brain model, he still planned to go in and have a look first.

Ask things clearly in person.

After all, only Mo exists alone in the entire Blue Space, and other inspectors will not come as diligently as him.

He is considered a lonely old man living alone with company.

Anyway, he had no one to relieve his boredom in the Fearless.

More importantly, using the Blue Space's own energy to activate the space jump engine requires careful negotiation with the model, and it may not go as smoothly as imagined.

The thought stayed here, and then Xu Lei no longer hesitated.

Immediately turned around and walked towards the light speed curvature spacecraft Golden Crow stored in the port side cabin of the Intrepid.

Plan to drive the Golden Crow into the headquarters.

Because considering the need to use the Blue Space's energy, the Intrepid's hull is actually larger than the Blue Space's. Naturally, there is no way to enter the Blue Space at the moment, and it can only use a small light speed curvature spacecraft.

Although with the life structure of his eternal body, he could fly directly over, it still felt too embarrassing.

The next time I had my brain controlling the Dauntless was very smooth.

As the upper hatch deck on the port side slowly opened, Xu Lei immediately flew out of the Golden Crow and reached the bottom of the Blue Space in the blink of an eye.

Since this was his second time here, relying on his previous experience with Uma, he was not nervous.

First, a beam of light shot out from the tip of the Civilization Administration Headquarters, and then gradually enveloped the entire Golden Crow. Then the top of the pyramid quickly opened, revealing a wider space inside. At the same time, a beam of light came from the cockpit of the Golden Crow. A very familiar sound.

"Identity authentication passed."

"Welcome, Inspector Xu Lei."

When the sound fell and the area around the spacecraft returned to calm, Xu Lei opened the hatch and found that he had arrived at the headquarters of the Civilization Administration.

The person he was looking for this time was the super brain model as the director, so he was very quick and went directly to the next platform to the brain body in the middle.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Uma that she took him on a trip in advance and knew the situation at the headquarters very well. Otherwise, even if he got here, he would have to explore carefully for a while.

And when Xu Lei skillfully pushed open the closed door and arrived at the final destination, the virtual figure had already condensed, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously waiting for Xu Lei's arrival. .

Slightly surprised, Xu Lei asked casually: "You know I'm coming over?"

"I also know why you came."

"Okay, can you tell me the result now?"

"The specific location of the Source Star Civilization Fire is still being calculated, and it is expected to take eight months." Without any pause, Mo directly stated the result Xu Lei wanted.

In any case, as the super intelligent brain of the galaxy, it is impossible for the other party to know that the solar system has made such a big move, so Xu Lei was not too surprised by this.

Although he had expected the specific location and coordinates of the Source Star Civilization Fire, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this answer.

This shows that it is indeed very difficult to find her.

It can only be said that Yuanxing is indeed the most powerful civilization in the last universe.

Fortunately, this time the model gave an approximate time. For him now, it is not difficult to just wait eight months.

You must know that it takes almost this time for light to enter the galactic core from a near-Earth star.

But there is another thing that the model did not tell, and that is about using the energy of the Blue Space to activate the space jump engine. Although I don’t know if there is any difficulty in it, this matter is related to whether we can go to the outer reaches of the Milky Way to find the source. Star civilization fire.

You have to figure it out no matter what, otherwise it will be really difficult to understand the idea.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei almost blurted out and asked: "One more thing, I want to know whether the Fearless can use the power of the Administration Headquarters to achieve a space jump?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a silence.

That's right.

Mo did not give an answer.

It's like thinking about the pros and cons, or encountering something that cannot be calculated.

Faced with such a situation, if Xu Lei said he was not worried at all, it would be absolutely false. The anxiety was written all over his face.

Mainly so that he could successfully find the spark of the Source Star Civilization, he first spent a lot of influence to exchange for a space jump engine, and then transferred 500 million galactic coins from Future Technology. It took him two years to build the Dreadnought. .

In addition to being the technological crystallization of the entire human civilization, it is also the pinnacle of all his hopes.

When he chose to redeem this technological exhibit, he thought of using the power of the Civilization Administration Headquarters to make up for the defects in the engine.

Even when the space jump test failed, he didn't worry too much.

It is precisely because the Civilization Administration Headquarters has the bottom line.

But now the situation is that this bottom line is about to leak. Once it is confirmed, it will mean that all the previous efforts and investments have been in vain, and he will not be able to find the source star civilization fire.

If he returned to the solar system in despair like now, he would be embarrassed to face Li Chengzhe and the others.

So at this moment, Xu Lei could be said to have his heart in his throat, and he was extremely focused waiting to hear the model's answer, hoping that things would develop in a good direction.

After a pause of about ten seconds, Mo's voice sounded again.

"The information is missing and the answer cannot be answered."

For such a short and familiar answer, Xu Lei became excited.

There was no expression of regret or disappointment.

I still remember that the last time he came here, Mo had given this answer. According to his analysis, this did not mean that Mo was unable to do the matter, but because there was a partial lack of information, and he could not tell the final definite answer.

But as the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Since you can't give an accurate answer, wouldn't you know it by trying it?

What if there is a surprise?

As his mind moved rapidly, Xu Lei's ideas suddenly became much clearer.

Then he took the initiative to say to the model again: "Then I wonder if the director can cooperate with me to conduct a test?"

A brief thought.

"It is the responsibility of the Civilization Administration and cannot leave the galaxy."

As the familiar voice sounded again, Xu Lei's expression dimmed again. Apparently he ignored the problem.

The Civilization Administration has existed since the birth of the Milky Way, and has guided civilization to gradually develop to its current level. Judging from the information he has, the headquarters of the Civilization Administration has never left the Silver Core during this period.

In a way, the Authority's headquarters is the cornerstone for ensuring the smooth operation of the entire galaxy.

Naturally, we cannot leave the Milky Way easily.

But if the administration headquarters provides energy help and successfully activates the space jump engine, then they must go to the outer reaches of the galaxy together.

From the perspective of the interests of the galaxy, it is normal for Mo to give such an answer.

But this is not the result Xu Lei wants.

Things have come to this point, how can we just give up?

"The fire of the Origin Star Civilization is related to the secret of the Science and Technology Museum. I have to go there no matter what. There must be other ways to solve this matter. There must be..."

After hearing Mo's answer, Xu Lei suddenly fell into a brainstorm.

Frantically searching through the vast amount of information in my mind, trying to find a way to break this deadlock.

Perhaps Huang Tian had paid off. After a while, Xu Lei felt his eyes light up, and he immediately said: "Finding the spark of civilization in the Source Star will not only benefit me, but even the Milky Way can benefit from it. For this, I am willing to give everything I have." Contribution value, I hope the headquarters can cooperate with me once."

This time, he no longer regarded the search for the source of the source star civilization as his own private matter, but instead bound his interests to the Milky Way.

In addition, he did not unilaterally ask the administration headquarters to do this. Instead, he cleverly used the inspector's contribution to make a fuss.

The contribution value system is very important in the Civilization Administration.

Theoretically, as long as the inspector's contribution is high enough, he can ask the administration to provide any help.

Of course, this number is also very huge.

But he was completely different.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of time for a veteran inspector like Uma Louhong to accumulate contribution points.

And the methods and quantities available are very rare.

But whether it was luck or misfortune, Xu Lei encountered an unprecedented migratory army of Void Zerg not long after he became an inspector, which was very harmful to the galaxy.

In this case, Xu Lei just led the entire Void Zerg migration army to stay in the solar system.

I don’t know how much contribution value I earned from this war.

Manufacturing technologies such as the Kamikaze Battleship and the Divine Star Destroyer owned by key solar system civilizations were all redeemed by Xu Lei from the Science and Technology Museum, and the contribution value was not used.

This allowed him to accumulate a lot.

Now, even a model would be tangled up in using all the contribution points in exchange for help from the Civilization Administration Headquarters.

Who knows that he is not just a super intelligent brain, but has developed a self-independent thinking consciousness, and will consider the overall situation on many issues.

As the entire space fell into a brief silence, Xu Lei said nothing more.

Just waiting for the final answer from the model.

Facts proved that his idea was not wrong. After comprehensive consideration, Mo finally gave him an answer that satisfied him.

"I agree with your application."

"But we have to wait until the source star civilization fire coordinates are calculated before testing." After finishing the first half of the sentence, he immediately added another sentence.

Xu Lei was very clear about the model's plan. He just didn't want to waste energy in vain. After all, the specific coordinates had not yet been obtained. Even if the test of the Dauntless space jump was successful, it would not be able to produce actual results.

In this case, it is better to wait for a few months.

Once the final result is calculated, you can go directly according to the coordinates once the test is successful.

Maximize energy utilization.

After all, the Dreadnought is not a real dreadnought. The two galaxies are more than two million light years apart. It is obviously impossible to rely on just one space jump.

It is out of this consideration that Xu Lei has no objection to this.

He said directly: "Then it will all be done according to the director's wishes. Eight months will be eight months."

Before coming to Yinhe, Xu Lei had already informed his family and the alliance, saying that his trip this time was quite special and that he would probably not return to the solar system for a long time. There was not even any information coming out, so he waited patiently for eight days. Months are not difficult.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, both Chen Shihe and the alliance were very worried about his safety and even persuaded him to give up the voyage.

The result is naturally that all efforts are in vain.

How can the things he decides change simply because of the influence of outside opinions?

However, when leaving, he still conscientiously comforted Chen Shihe, Yu Hongliang and others, so that they did not have to worry about him.

The conversation with Mo has basically come to an end. He only needs to stay in Yinhe and wait patiently for eight months.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei stopped disturbing Mo, so as not to affect his calculation of the source star civilization fire.

Turn around and leave this space immediately.

…

…

Over the next few months, Xu Lei moved back and forth between the Civilization Administration headquarters and the Fearless.

Mainly to study the energy issues of the headquarters.

Try to ensure that it can be adapted to the Dreadnaught and the space jump engine.

To this end, he also transferred the relevant data he had mastered to the brain of the Intrepid, allowing it to simulate the subsequent space jump test to see if there were still problems.

This way, any trouble spots can be repaired as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you wait until the day of the actual test to consider these things, you may end up with the daylilies getting cold.

Fortunately, the results of the simulation gave him some comfort, and the success rate reached more than 70%. If something didn't happen midway, he could basically successfully make a space jump to the star field where the source of the civilization's fire was.

But as time passed day by day, and when the time and days given by the model were almost reached, a wave of controversy arose again in the galaxy.

Controversies over the solar system.

More than three years have passed since Future Technology invested 500 million Galaxy coins to purchase resources.

Since Future Technology has never announced the progress of the space jump warship project, all kinds of information are in a state of blockade. Even the last test failed, no news was leaked.

Originally, this was not a strange thing in the Milky Way, but because there were so many civilizations involved, there were gradually more and more doubts.

Due to the impact of the Divine Star Destroyer, the big move in future technology soon attracted the attention of the entire galaxy. Everyone believed that the solar system was undertaking a project that was more powerful than the Divine Star Destroyer.

At that time, comments praising and boasting about this project could be seen everywhere on various platforms in the galaxy.

Even though they don’t even know what the project is.

So many civilizations want to be involved with this project. In the future, when the project is successful, it will be beneficial to the development of their own civilizations.

Therefore, when faced with the procurement of future technologies, most of them choose to sacrifice their own interests and provide these resources to the solar system at very favorable or even loss-making prices.

These also include the Pompeii civilization in the icy sea galaxy, the red rock galaxy, and the Setan star.

Basically covers all third-level civilizations.

Previously, several major third-level civilizations in the galaxy almost regretted not purchasing the Divine Star Destroyer. After all, this reason alone caused the gap in strength between them and the second-level civilization to drop sharply.

Very detrimental to one's own rights.

So seeing that the civilization of the solar system suddenly made such a big move, and it was related to a key project, naturally we couldn't miss it again.

But more than three years have passed, and this project of Future Technology seems to have disappeared into the sea.

It may feel normal at first, but as time goes by, many civilizations begin to feel unsure.

I am afraid that my previous investment will be in vain.

Therefore, with the secret support of these backbone civilizations in the galaxy, the discussion on this project can only be described as an explosion, and it was still within a very short period of time.

And no matter how high the blow was at the beginning, it is how miserable it is now being sprayed.

The wave swept across all well-known platforms in the galaxy.

This method is obviously used to put pressure on future technology and the solar system, so as to announce the true progress of the project, so that at least everyone will have a better idea.

The main reason is that the status of civilization in the solar system is different now, as if it has the status of the overlord of the galaxy.

If it were any other ordinary weak civilization, investors like them could choose to directly use violent means to force the other party to announce it.

But now we can only take a soft approach.

I hope that in terms of the solar system and future technology, we can take care of our reputation in the galaxy.

Otherwise, their investment will be in vain.

It is also worth mentioning that although human users on various platforms still choose to believe in future technology and fight back to maintain the reputation of future technology.

But looking at the dozens of civilizations in the entire galaxy, the number of humans appears to be very small.

It is no match for individual users of other extraterrestrial civilizations. Often, as soon as a comment is posted, it is overwhelmed by countless replies.

"The Solar System has not announced the progress of the project for a long time. I think they are deliberately protecting future technology. Maybe the so-called big project is a scam from beginning to end."

"According to past circumstances, this kind of operation does not exist in the civilization of the solar system, which is really doubtful."

"In order to help future technology, many third-level civilizations did it at their own expense. If this was really a scam, how could other civilizations let it go?"

"I ask the solar system civilization to severely punish future technologies and give the entire galaxy civilization an explanation."

"Fuck your bullshit. Future Technology is a company founded by Inspector Xu Lei. It's not as bad as you say. Don't feel hurt if you get slapped in the face."

"Why should our major project research conducted by humans be made public? There is no reason at all."

"Now the entire galaxy is dominated by the solar system civilization, and there is an inspector sitting in charge. Even if I really lie to you, so what, the civilization structure of the galaxy has long changed."

"Let me clarify for Future Technology. They have never said whether it is good to accept investment. It is obvious that some civilizations want to have relations with the solar system and deliberately give up their interests to sell resources to Future Technology at a lower price. So how can the project be related to What's your relationship?"

…

Without Xu Lei's words, Titan Shipyard and the Human Security Alliance would naturally not choose to disclose the space jump warship project to the outside world.

After all, in a sense the project was a failure.

But this has also led to increasing controversy on various open platforms in the galaxy, and has even gradually formed a situation where multiple individual users of civilized life form groups to besiege human users.

Fortunately, due to the strength of the solar system and its status in the galaxy, no civilization is openly looking for trouble at the official level.

If future technology remains silent, the popularity will naturally fade away.

However, it is worth mentioning that Xu Lei did not deliberately ignore this matter and respond with a silent attitude. The main reason was that he was in the midst of important matters such as the second space jump test of the Intrepid, so he was not in the mood to care about such trivial matters.

For him, the top priority is to crack the source star civilization fire. This is the most important thing.

After spending eight long months, good news finally came from Mo, the director of the Civilization Administration Bureau.

Just as he had predicted before, after arriving at the time, he successfully calculated the specific location of the Gauvia space where the source star civilization's fire was located.

After learning about this situation, Xu Lei immediately came to the space where the model body was located.

"Sure enough, it is in the star field between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. It is about 1.4 million light years away from the Milky Way. The situation is better than expected."

Xu Lei was in a special space composed of countless neurons. He carefully watched the virtual map of the galaxy projected by the super intelligent brain model in front of him. He successfully found the specific coordinates of the high-dimensional space where the source of the civilization's fire was located, and he felt something in his heart. Finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the coordinate estimation, the Source Star Civilization Fire is considered to be in an area closer to the Milky Way. In a way, the safety factor is greatly increased.

Otherwise, if they were close to the Andromeda Galaxy, they would most likely be detected by a powerful civilization somewhere when they jumped there, causing unnecessary trouble.

After all, judging from the intelligence obtained from the information treasure house, the overall strength of the civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy far exceeds that of the civilization in the Milky Way, so we really need to be cautious.

And now that we have the exact coordinates of the star field's location, there is only one thing left.

A new space jump test for the Intrepid.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei immediately raised his gaze, smiled at the virtual figure in front of him, and said, "Sir Director, should we make the next plan?"
