Road to science and technology

A fleet commander and a scientific dean were both in the same battleship, talking nonsense.

The detector soon displayed a vast sea of ​​stars in the form of a holographic projection.

This is a fuzzy looking nebula.

"Where are we?" Shui Wangqiu was actually quite concerned about this issue, but he was not as familiar with the star map as Wen Mang, who had been fighting for many years, so he chose to ask directly.

"This super galaxy cluster." Wen Mang said.

"..."

Shui Wangqiu was speechless. Wen Mang must have done it on purpose. He asked where this guy actually mentioned such a large range. Although he was looking for the core of the battle star this time, it didn't matter where it appeared, but it couldn't be so general.

Well, right? The local supercluster covers an area of ​​110 million light-years and includes at least 20,000 galaxy groups. It is said that the local galaxy group consists of 50 galaxies such as the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

"If you tell me more specifically, will you die?" Shui Wangqiu asked when Wen Mang didn't continue speaking.

"This galaxy group." As soon as Wen Mang said these four words, he saw Shui Wangqiu roll up his sleeves, so he quickly added: "Our hometown, the Fairy Galaxy."

"What a coincidence?" Shui Wangqiu was stunned.

"Unfortunately, because I haven't finished talking yet, it is actually the satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, the neighbor of our hometown Andromeda Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud."

The Large Magellanic Cloud, also known as the Large Magellanic Cloud, is one of the most famous extragalactic galaxies in the Local Galaxy Group. It is a dwarf galaxy. It is the most massive of the many satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and is about 160,000 light-years away from the solar system.

It is only one-twentieth the size of the Milky Way, with only about one billion stars. It is a barred spiral galaxy with a rotation period of about 250 million years and revolves around the Milky Way.

Wen Mang sighed: "Don't worry about coincidences, start the detector quickly and get to work. Maybe the core of the battle star is here."

"Haha, it's a beautiful idea." Shui Wangqiu sneered at this, "You'd better send the detectors to the surrounding galaxies quickly."

"You don't have to say that."

Wen Mang said and took two steps forward. At the same time, he switched the battleship command room to full exterior mode. He looked at the stars in front and continued: "But you can't look for things like this!"

"Oh? Do you really have an idea? Don't be pretentious, I'm also a little curious about what you plan to do!" Shui Wangqiu said truthfully.

Wen Mang was still looking at the starry sky, and his voice slowly reached Shui Wangqiu's ears: "There are two problems we faced when we first came here. The first is of course the testing of various parameters. It would be better if the warp speed can exceed the speed of light. , but that's your job.

Secondly, it is naturally a matter of finding something. If you want to find something, you must rush. And in rushing in the universe, our Shenzhou civilization naturally has its own means, but the star sea is infinitely vast. Even if we continue to explore and build the interstellar space from now on, Doors also take quite a while. So I think we should change our strategy! "

Shui Wangqiu cooperated: "Oh?"

Wen Mang was very satisfied with this sound, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Of course you are good at scientific research, but of course the strategy still depends on me.

I think the first thing we need to do is not to go directly to the core of the Battle Star, but to find the civilization hidden in this universe or in the Large Magellanic Cloud. If it is a low-level civilization, we don't need to pay attention to it, but if it is a high-level civilization, it will be of great use. .

If there is a civilization like this that has the ability to teleport through space, then they will definitely build many portals here, and we can use their portals to find the core of the battle star. "

"I'm afraid I'm not that easy to talk to!" Shui Wangqiu said.

"Haha, civilizations below the god level are easy to talk to." Wen Mang turned around and smiled.

"Just tell me to find someone to lead the way. You're talking nonsense!" Shui Wangqiu shook his head and turned away. He was too lazy to talk to this guy. He already knew Wen Mang's plan, but he was too lazy to say anything.

Besides, when he arrived in this universe, he still had a lot of things to do, such as the basic information of this universe, various parameters and so on.

Wen Mang naturally knew what Shui Wangqiu was going to do. In fact, the test was already in progress.

A few days later, the various test results came out.

There is no doubt that this universe can exceed the speed of light. According to test data, in the Nullifier universe, it could only sail at the speed of light before it could slip forward at warp speed, but here it suddenly reaches faster than the speed of light.

Not only can it travel faster than the speed of light, but it can also travel extremely fast.

If the supercomputer hadn't given the exact value based on experiments, Shui Wangqiu wouldn't have believed his eyes. This was so unreasonable.

In addition, the data also told Shui Wangqiu that there are fantasy side virtual particles in this universe, and there are other high-dimensional interlayers in space. There are many miscellaneous fantasy side virtual particles hidden in these dimensions.

After calculation, these virtual particles have many kinds of spins, and they appear to be various types of magical energy sources of varying strengths.

There is also one type that cannot be decayed by the current version of Shenzhou Civilization’s ‘End of Dharma Era’.

Based on this discovery, Shui Wangqiu immediately sent the data to Wen Mang so that he could be more prepared for the 'End of Dharma Era' and be more careful at the same time.

And because there is a four-dimensional space filled with fantasy side virtual particles in the interlayer of space, Shui Wangqiu did not forget to remind Wen Mang to equip the fleet with more 'three-way foils'.

Time flies, sophon and neutron detectors soon send the latest news to Wen Mang.

Wen Mang brought up the screen. It showed a star system. There was an obvious technological creation on one of the planets in the star.

After Sophon approached for detection, he discovered that the planet's technology was very advanced, and spacecraft would rise and fall from it from time to time.

This is the detection result sent by Sophon. This planet is only about three light years away from Wen Mang's current location.

At this time, Wen Mang called for his adjutant, and then he pointed to the location of the discovered planet in the star map and said: "Adjutant Sang, you lead a thousand battleships of the eighth squadron of the first squadron to the Head in this direction and stand by, and then place some space-time stabilizing devices within one light-year of the star where the planet is located."

"clear!"

After speaking, Adjutant Sang bowed and was about to leave, but Wen Mang stopped him: "Wait a minute, there's more than one!"

At this time, other sophons also transmitted the detected information. Other star systems near this planet also had signs of civilization, and judging from the style of their spaceships, they should still belong to the same civilization.

Wen Mang found it quite interesting. He especially liked the feeling that he could detect and look at it at will without others noticing him.

He stopped Adjutant Sang and continued to wait for the detection of other sophon neutrons.

"Tsk tsk, what a huge cosmic empire!"

Wen Mang muttered to himself, because on the screen in front of him, more and more star systems were marked as possibly occupied by the same civilization, and it seemed that the number would continue to increase.

At present, there are about three hundred planets detected by sophons that have the same construction style as this civilization.

Wen Mang knew that this empire should be more than that, so he pointed to the star field marked on the holographic screen and the unmarked star field behind it, and said to the adjutant: "This star field is all arranged with time and space for me. Stabilize the device and slow down. Don't rush, don't be discovered by them, we have plenty of time."

In fact, Wen Mang was right. The star field he was in was an area northwest of the Large Magellanic Cloud. If divided according to the map to the left, west, right and east, this unknown empire had more than a thousand colonial planets in this star field.

Not only did they establish colonial planets, they also built many fortifications on the moons of each colonized planet.

With Sophon's infiltration, Wen Mang mastered some basic information about this empire. It was a semi-religious and semi-military empire with energy weapons, mastery of long-distance communications, and the portal technology that Wen Mang had been looking forward to.

Because Sophon detected that some spacecraft of this civilization had entered the portal.

And the name of this civilization, if translated, should be called the Kree Empire, or the Kree Civilization.

Wen Mang peeked openly and nodded with satisfaction. He didn't master vacuum zero-point energy but had strange things as energy sources. This civilization could just meet his requirements.
