Volume 2 Test Site No. 1 Chapter 24 Starry Sky Ancient Battlefield
"How long has it been?" Lin Xu, who had just woken up from the hibernation chamber, asked Miss Qiu who was standing outside the chamber.
"The current time is 10890 in the Sailing Calendar. A hundred years have passed, master." Miss Qiu replied.
"It seems that we didn't encounter any unexpected emergencies during this voyage." Lin Xu was somewhat satisfied, but also a little regretful.
"Although a hundred years have passed, master, you were awakened early, but the advance time was very short, only three months. I'm sorry, we did encounter an unexpected incident and we need you to make a decision." Miss Qiu responded.
"Three months in advance? It seems that we are very close to our destination galaxy. What happened?" Lin Xu asked puzzledly.
"The Earth is now 0.5 light-years away from the target galaxy. As for more information, I was only awakened from hibernation ten minutes ago and I don't know it yet." Miss Qiu apologized.
Lin Xu, who had already walked out of the hibernation chamber, nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he spoke again, "Who is in charge of driving this year? What happened?"
While speaking, Lin Xu had already brought Miss Qiu out of the hibernation room and came to a corridor full of technology.
"Master, Qiming is at your service." Qiming's voice rang out through the loudspeaker in the corridor.
At the same time, Lin Xu had passed the corridor and entered the elevator. The elevator door closed and it climbed rapidly upwards.
Qiming's voice also moved from the loudspeaker in the corridor to the loudspeaker in the elevator.
"The Earth is 0.5 light years away from the target galaxy. We are currently moving towards the target galaxy at twice the speed of light. We expect to reach the target galaxy in three months."
Qiming first introduced the current basic situation and then explained what had happened.
"However, during the navigation process, the autonomous mechanical aggregate responsible for vigilance in the left front discovered a place that seemed to be an interstellar war battlefield."
"The battlefield of an interstellar war? Is the war in progress, or is it the ruins after the war?" Lin Xu suddenly became excited, but also a little nervous.
This is an interstellar war. Although he knew that he would encounter this situation sooner or later since he had set foot in the starry sky, he did not expect it to come so suddenly.
"After preliminary investigation, it should be a post-war ruin, and the war must have happened at least thousands of years ago."
"Thousands of years ago? Is it related to humans?" Lin Xu frowned.
"No traces of human-made objects were found at the scene . The initial assessment is that this was not a war involving humans, but rather a war between two alien forces."
Lin Xu nodded.
He now understood why he had to be woken up.
Because whether to change direction and go to the ruins to check it out is a decision only he can make.
"How far are the ruins from us?" Lin Xu asked.
"Nine billion kilometers, about one thousandth of a light year," Qiming replied.
"Then let's go and take a look ." Lin Xu decided immediately.
One thousandth of a light year. If the Earth had just left the solar system and was still using plasma propulsion, it would probably take several years to travel this distance.
Although at that time, the Earth's maximum speed was already a few thousandths of the speed of light due to plasma propulsion.
But it is more cumbersome and it takes a long time to turn.
And once you arrive at the destination, it will take even longer to slow down and stop.
Or it may not stop, but just pass by, and then take advantage of the window of time to quickly complete the investigation and return to Earth as soon as possible.
This way it will take less time.
But now it’s different. The Earth now has 100,000 planetary engines, all of which are equipped with curvature engines.
Not only is the speed faster, but slowing down and stopping is also more convenient.
Like now, a distance of one thousandth of a light year can be reached in four or five hours by just turning a slight corner.
So just like that, without Lin Xu noticing, the earth, controlled by Qiming, turned slightly to the left and front, heading towards the ruins of the ancient battlefield in the starry sky.
At this time, Lin Xu had already taken the elevator to the ground.
The exit of the elevator is in Lin Xu's courtyard.
However, Lin Xu did not stay in the courtyard for long, but directly controlled the clothes on his body and transformed them into power armor through nanotechnology.
At the same time, the built-in anti-gravity device on the power armor was activated, carrying Lin Xu up and flying out of the ecological dome.
Now when Lin Xu flies on the earth, he no longer needs to spray plasma with his feet. His power armor has been modified and an anti-gravity device has been installed. In the future, when he flies on the planet, he only needs to activate the anti-gravity device to generate repulsive force with the gravity of the planet and control the deflection direction of the repulsive force, and he can fly freely.
Of course, this way of flying can only be used within the planet. Plasma is still needed for propulsion in space.
After all, the curvature engine cannot be miniaturized to the extent that it can be used in power armor.
Lin Xu was in such a hurry to leave the ecological dome that enveloped Yanjing City, not because he was rushing to the ancient battlefield in the starry sky.
It will take at least several hours to reach that ancient battlefield, so there is still enough time.
Lin Xu hurried out because he wanted to see how the Earth Dome Project, which he had been dreaming about, was progressing so far.
Although only a hundred years had passed, which was still far from the planned thousand years, Lin Xu was still impatient to see the results of the plan first.
As a gap opened in the ecological dome, Lin Xu and Miss Qiu, who followed closely behind him, were able to pass through.
The scene outside the ecological dome jumped into Lin Xu's eyes.
In Lin Xu's field of vision, there were countless thick columns that were much taller than planetary engines, piercing the sky.
In Lin Xu's sight, there were densely packed such pillars, which were the so-called pillars of heaven.
Each pillar is a hundred kilometers high, nearly ten times the height of a planetary engine.
Lin Xu stood on the ground and looked up, and couldn't even see the end of the pillar of heaven.
Some of the pillars are almost completed, but more of them have only laid the foundation.
According to Lin Xu's previous discussion with quantum computers, since there are 100,000 planetary engines, there will be no need to spray plasma to accelerate the earth in the future.
Then just raise the height of 100,000 planetary engines and use them as pillars of heaven.
This can save a lot of time. After all, building a million pillars is not a small number.
Moreover, the heightened planetary engine can be used as a celestial pillar without affecting the operation of the curvature engine installed inside the celestial pillar.
Lin Xu even made another decision. When building the remaining 900,000 pillars, he would reserve space inside to install curvature engines.
At the same time, the curvature engine factories on Earth should not stop production and should continue production.
The curvature engine produced was installed directly on the pillar.
In this way, when the millions of pillars are completed, curvature engines will be installed in all of them.
I believe that the speed of the earth will continue to increase.
