Chapter 710: Mu Xing
Milky Way, galactic center region.
In the area near the Perseus arm, the void is very bright, with an average of dozens of stars per cubic light-year of space.
This is just the edge of the galactic center. If it is a more inner area, the star density there is even higher.
But precisely because of this, the closer the area is to the core of the galactic center, the more desolate it becomes.
At the edge of the galactic center is the habitable zone for the birth of life.
The galactic center region is like the earth's tropics. In the area outside the galactic center, there are indeed quite a few planets with life.
However, there are generally no powerful civilizations on the life planets here. Instead, each life planet is in a relatively primitive stage.
Suddenly, a huge silver-gray planet floated out from the void in the chaotic gravitational field, and was then attracted by a red dwarf star.
The radius of the silvery-gray planet is about 2.6 times that of the Earth.
Soon, the silver-gray planet slowly approached the red dwarf star, and then the silver-gray planet seemed to turn into mercury and wrapped around the surface of the red dwarf star.
It was not until eight days later that the surface of the red dwarf star completely turned silver-gray. Not a trace of radiation leaked out from its interior, apparently absorbed by the outer shell that had transformed into the silver-gray planet.
The dozen or so red dwarf stars around were also gradually enveloped by the silver-gray planets .
More than a dozen huge spaceships also appeared around the silver-gray planet.
Inside one of the spaceships, several silver-gray spheres were floating in the cabin.
"This time of grazing will require 588 kits (about 801 years). Do you have anything else to do?" A silver-gray sphere emitted electromagnetic waves and asked its companions.
Another silver-gray sphere spun its body. "Part of the alarm that was installed on the Baisai cantilever has been destroyed. There must be a cosmic war over there. Do you need me to go over and investigate?"
"Bai Sai Cantilever? Sure, go and take a look! It's probably another new civilization. Make them behave themselves, or else I'll destroy them completely."
"good!"
One of the silver-gray spheres turned into a pool of liquid and disappeared into the cabin.
Then a spacecraft deployed its space distortion system, using the difference in space distortion before and after to rapidly increase its speed to 60% of the speed of light, and rapidly advanced toward the direction of the Perseus Arm.
As the spacecraft flew rapidly, it left a series of gravitational waves in its flight path.
And those spaceships that are still in place are still guarding the dozen or so silver-gray planets.
These silver-gray planets are home to planetary-level silicon-based creatures specially cultivated by the pastoral civilization - the light-eating star beasts.
The Light-Eating Star Beast is a silicon-based creature, and is also an artificially modified creature of the Shepherd Star Civilization. This creature can devour the energy of stars and then transform this energy into special dark energy crystals.
This is also the reason why the shepherd civilization grazes the light-eating star beasts. After all, the behavior of civilization and the behavior of individuals are actually similar.
If there were no benefits, the pastoral civilization would not have transformed this kind of planetary life.
The importance of dark energy crystals to the pastoral civilization is like that of oil, natural gas and coal in the Earth era.
The energy source of the space-warping engine of the Muxing civilization is dark energy crystals. Without dark energy crystals, the Muxing civilization would have no way to start the space-warping engine.
In addition, dark energy crystals can also be used as raw materials for some special weapons.
This is also the foundation for the survival of the Shepherds Civilization in the galactic center. After all, the galactic center is not just home to the Shepherds Civilization.
Just when the herding team of the Shepherd Star Civilization was herding the light-eating star beasts here.
In a void about 300 light-years away from them, a triangular spaceship was also watching them in the dark.
Triangular spaceship interior.
"Captain Fass, those guys are herding. Also, 45 epochs ago, a herding starship left in the direction of..."
The bodies of these communicating creatures appear like a shimmering mist.
One of the clouds of mist flipped over and said, "Continue monitoring. As for the spacecraft that left, if I'm not mistaken, they should be heading to the Baisai Arm ."
"Bai Se Cantilever? Are you going to investigate that new civilization?"
A group of red-gray mist emitted a special wave: "That new civilization is not simple, hehe..."
"So what if it's not simple? If they anger the Muxing civilization, they will definitely be destroyed." Another dark green mist mocked.
"Should we take action? After all, it's the enemy of my enemy, maybe we can take advantage of it?"
"Haha, it's just garbage. There's no need for that."
Soon the discussion inside the triangular spacecraft fell silent.
The shepherds who were herding the light-eating star beasts were also secretly alert to the situation around them.
After all, when they were herding the Light-Eating Star Beasts before, they were attacked by hostile forces. Although the Light-Eating Star Beasts and dark energy crystals were not taken away in the end, they also suffered heavy losses.
Cultivating a light-eating star beast requires a lot of resources and time. Currently, the Muxing civilization has only more than 10,000 light-eating star beasts.
These light-eating star beasts are the foundation of the pastoral civilization.
Although there were no obvious signs of the enemy nearby, these shepherds did not take it lightly.
…
The other side.
The Shepherd Starship that was heading to the Perseus Cantilever for reconnaissance was also rapidly approaching the Silicon Clan-controlled area of Perseus.
Using the alarm hidden by the Shepherd Star civilization in the Perseus Cantilever, the Shepherd Star man quickly investigated some of the circumstances.
Inside the cockpit of the Shepherd Star spacecraft.
Famu's brain core was thinking quickly: "That civilization actually came from the Cafuya Arm (Orion Arm), their technological level seems to be quite high!"
The Shepherd Star Civilization naturally has some understanding of the five major arms of the Milky Way.
Although the Pastoral Star Civilization looks down on the resource-poor Cantilever Area, it does not mean that they will leave the Cantilever Area unattended.
This time, Famu came to the Ceres Cantilever to investigate, not on his own initiative, but because he received an order from the headquarters.
The Shepherd Star Civilization not only left a large number of alarms in the five major cantilever areas, but also regularly inspected the cantilever areas.
Originally, it would take about 40,000 Earth years before the next review.
However, this time the large-scale war in the Perseus Arm made the Shepherd Star civilization feel a little unusual, so they quickly advanced the time of the review.
Although the alarm was unable to collect a large amount of information, the explosion of a large number of stars in the Perseus Arm and the sudden emergence of chaotic gravity made Famu and the Shepherd Star civilization behind him feel uneasy.
However, there is a limit to the speed of the spacecraft of the Shepherd Star Civilization.
Even with a space warp engine and dark energy crystals, there is still no way to achieve superluminal travel.
This situation made Famu more and more uneasy.
At this time, this star-shepherding spacecraft is still 7,364 light-years away from the nearest territory of human civilization.
