Volume 3 Chapter 226: Encountering the Immortal Ship Again, Patrolling the Five Great River Systems
The voyage started in 11569.
Two years have passed since I learned the news about the cosmic tremor from Wang Jian's shadow.
Two years ago, as the autonomous mechanical aggregates completed the relocation of human remains, even the high-dimensional space where Wang Jian was located was moved away.
The empty human remains were closed again by Lin Xu.
If nothing unexpected happens, this place will be closed forever.
Lin Xu then returned to the three-star system and continued to supervise the construction of planetary battleships in forty-five docks.
At the same time, we will also apply various new technologies just obtained from the ruins, as well as upgrades to existing technologies, as much as possible.
In the next two years, in addition to waiting for the construction of the planetary battleship in the dock, Lin Xu was also waiting for the results of Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue, Lu Yao, and Arisa's extermination of the Zerg.
Until now, two years later, the year 11569 of the Sailing Calendar.
Construction of planetary battleships in forty-five docks has been completed.
At the same time, Nanzhu and his companions finally completed the Zerg extermination campaign in the entire galaxy and returned to the three-star system, where Lin Xu was.
The first one to rush back was Nanzhu.
This time Nanzhu finally did not forget. Before coming back, she cleaned up all the graffiti related to Lin Xu on the outside of the planetary battleship.
That’s right, even after being taught a lesson by Lin Xu and expressing his regret in front of Lin Xu, Nanzhu still did not change his bad habits.
She is a typical person who only regrets being caught by Lin Xu, not regretting what she has done.
Lin Xu also had some guesses about this, but after all, he had no evidence in person, so even though he looked at Nanzhu's mothership, the paint job was obviously changed recently.
Faced with Nanzhu who threw herself into his arms and rubbed her head against his body, he could only shake his head in the end.
"You're back early enough." Lin Xu reached out and touched Nanzhu's hair and said.
"Of course, I rushed back as fast as I could. I left all of them behind. It will probably take another few hours for them to get here. Let's hurry up." Nanzhu said as he was about to strip Lin Xu's clothes.
Then he was hit on the forehead by Lin Xu.
"Honestly, don't you see a large number of spaceships outside?"
"Oh, I saw it, but I really missed you! By the way, where did those spaceships come from?" Nanzhu turned his head and looked around. There were various kinds of detectors lingering around the three-star system, not daring to go beyond the line at all.
These probes, some manned and some unmanned, are undoubtedly monitoring the forty-five huge planetary battleship docks in the three-star system.
"Who knows? There should be some in every civilization. Now that the Zerg have been almost wiped out, they have become active again." Lin Xu didn't care about these detectors. He would be leaving soon anyway, and this galaxy would eventually belong to them.
"It seems that those fake humans created by the Zerg are also here. Lord Lin Xu, are you going to drive them away?" Nanzhu asked.
"Forget it." Lin Xu shook his head. He still had mixed emotions towards the false humans, a race created by the Zerg.
Although these fake humans were created, they have a history similar to that of humans after all. Even if this history was given by the Zerg, Lin Xu felt complicated when he thought that these fake humans had read Tang and Song poetry, knew Einstein, and even believed that there were Li Bai and Du Fu in their history.
So, the Zerg really deserve to die.
And there is the Apocalypse clan who is directing the Zerg behind the scenes.
Not long after, Mu Xiyue, Lu Yao and Arisa also rushed back.
At the same time, the planetary battleships in the forty-five docks were also completed. Miss Qiu stepped forward and put her fifteen ships into her personal space.
Lin Xu also put his thirty ships into his personal space.
Then, the dock composed of forty-five autonomous mechanical aggregates began to disband instantly, and returned to Lin Xu's personal space like a tsunami.
For a moment, within the three-star system, only Lin Xu and a few others standing in the void, and a familiar ship, the Skylark, were left.
"Warning, the surveillance target has disappeared. Warning, the surveillance target has disappeared."
Outside the three-star system, on a reconnaissance ship responsible for checking for any abnormalities within the three-star system, the intelligent computer continued to issue alarms.
But soon, the alarm was cut off manually.
"It's incredible. Such a huge planetary battleship disappeared in the blink of an eye, and those docks even disintegrated directly? What kind of technology is this!"
"And what was that thing that just opened up in the universe? Is it a space jump channel? But why does it look different from the space jump channel that the fifteen planetary battleships returned from before?"
"The investigative data also shows that these should be two different technologies, but these technologies are too far away from us, and we can't tell what they are."
"Who are these people? They suddenly came to this river system and started to exterminate the Zerg. They wiped out all the Zerg in such a short time, but we don't even know their origins. Even if we tried to communicate with them, we were rejected."
"The only information we know at the moment is that they wiped out the Zerg that invaded the human capital galaxy ten years ago, and soon after that, they began to exterminate the Zerg. Looking at their appearance, they are extremely similar to humans. Could they have some relationship with humans?"
"How is this possible? If humans had such strength, they wouldn't have been at a disadvantage after confronting the Zerg for five thousand years."
"They have now successfully wiped out the Zerg. I don't know whether they will bring war or peace in the future."
"If their target was only the Zerg, they would have brought peace. But in the process of exterminating the Zerg, they also exterminated the Dhaka people, so no one knows what they are bringing."
Everyone who is observing the triple star system is waiting anxiously.
At this moment, the focus of the entire river system is here.
Countless reconnaissance spacecraft continuously sent the intelligence here back to the base camp of their own race. Those big shots in each race, all of whom were so big that the whole planet would tremble with a stomp of their feet, were all nervous at this time, discussing the next move of these unknown existences that wiped out the Zerg.
Then Lin Xu and his companions boarded the Skylark. As a space jump channel appeared in front of the Skylark, the Skylark disappeared into it and never appeared again.
"They, left?"
"Impossible! Immediately mobilize the forces of all races in the galaxy to find out where they went."
"Three star system, are we going in?"
"What if they come back?"
"Oh no! There are already ships from other civilizations going in. Let's go in too. Quickly."
In this way, spaceships from countless races and civilizations rushed into the empty three-star system, trying to find some clues about Lin Xu and others.
But nothing was found.
On the contrary, because of the departure of Lin Xu and others, the three-star system lost the power to maintain the stable operation of the three stars, and soon the operation of the three stars began to become chaotic.
In the end, the spaceships of various races gained nothing and had to withdraw.
Afterwards, they reluctantly carried out a long exploration of this chaotic three-star area, but still found nothing.
At the same time, Lin Xu and others have never been seen in this river system.
At this time, Lin Xu and others had already left this galaxy and were heading towards the crack zone where the universe was shaking, 5 billion light years away.
"What would another universe look like?" Nanzhu stood in front of the porthole of the Skylark, looking out the window at the ever-changing extragalactic space scenes in each space jump and sighed.
The distance of each space jump of the Skylark is about tens of thousands of light years. Even on the scale of the universe, this distance is extremely far.
At the very least, it is enough to see the changes in the size of the nearest river system outside the window after each space jump.
For example, a river system that was originally only the size of a bean becomes very close after several jumps.
After a few more leaps, it was left behind and became the size of a bean again.
The Skylark was advancing rapidly in the universe, heading towards a place 5 billion light years away.
"By the way, Arisa, do you know what another universe looks like?" Nanzhu suddenly thought of Arisa, who might be the most knowledgeable among these people, so he immediately asked.
After all, neither Lin Xu nor Mu Xiyue has ever been to another universe.
Even the primitive universe created by humans before has not yet truly become a real universe and cannot be considered another universe.
"Every universe has different rules. Some may be due to different cosmic forms, and some may be due to different underlying physical rules." Arisa thought for a moment and replied.
"Come on, I know these theories, but I want to know what it feels like to actually go to another universe." Nanzhu looked at Arisa as if to say, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
"How should I know what it feels like? I haven't been to another universe." Arisa put her hands on her hips and said confidently.
"You haven't been there either? That's impossible. After all, you were a high-dimensional creature before." Nanzhu looked unconvinced.
"Well, maybe I've been there at that time, but my memory of Gao Wei is almost completely blurred now, so it's not wrong to say that I haven't been there." Arisa thought for a moment and continued with confidence.
"Okay, then let's go and see together this time, what a universe with different forms and different physical rules would look like in theory." Nanzhu did not continue to ask, but began to imagine.
"Well, in fact, there are some universes that have the same appearance and even the same physical rules. Such similar universes are very common in the multiverse. But it is not common for similar universes to collide with each other. So, if nothing unexpected happens, what we should see should be a completely different universe." Arisa was also looking forward to it.
"The Sea of the Multiverse?" Nanzhu was puzzled by this term he had never heard of.
"Yes, if each universe is regarded as an atom, then the infinite universes will form a vast ocean of multiverses. In this ocean, there are not only hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, but also various mineral atoms, sodium atoms, iron atoms, and so on. These different atoms are different universes. Universes of the same type have the same form and rules, and universes of different types have different types of forms and rules. That's why it is called the Multiverse Ocean." Arisa explained.
"It's quite appropriate." Nanzhu nodded.
While the two were still discussing, Lin Xu had already left the Skylark and returned to the Earth in his portable space.
Mu Xiyue's voice was heard from the open entrance to the personal space in the center of the Skylark's cockpit.
"If you don't come, Master Lin Xu will belong to me."
Suddenly, Nanzhu started and woke up.
What multiverse? How can it be more important than Lord Lin Xu? It’s been ten years. Do you know how I got through these ten years?
"Mu Xiyue, I misjudged you. You actually want to eat alone. Wait for me." Shouting, Nanzhu rushed into the entrance of the portable space.
"Whoever eats alone, I shouldn't have called you." Mu Xiyue's angry voice could be heard faintly, and finally there was no sound.
The year 11572 was the year of the start of the voyage, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Although the distance of 5 billion light years is far, with the current space jump capability of Skylark, it has crossed the distance of 5 billion years in three years and arrived near the destination.
However, when the Skylark was still tens of thousands of light years away from the target galaxy, which was the core area of the rift zone caused by cosmic tremors, it was intercepted while passing through another galaxy.
That's right, it was intercepted.
Moreover, the ship that intercepted the Skylark was a fairy ship the size of a planet with carved beams and painted buildings.
However, it was not only the Skylark that was intercepted, but also many other spaceships that passed through here together with the Skylark.
Time goes back to one day ago.
As we got closer and closer to the crack zone caused by the cosmic tremors, the various types of spaceships in this universe gradually increased.
These spaceships not only appear in various river systems, but also frequently appear between river systems. Crossing one river system after another is as easy as eating and drinking.
And it is obvious that these civilizations that fly spaceships between galaxies are not native civilizations of this region of the universe.
No wonder Wang Jian said before that the rift zone would attract not only the Apocalypse Clan, but also countless powerful civilizations in the universe.
These civilizations may not be as powerful as humans and the Apocalypse, but they are also some of the strongest civilizations in the universe.
If a civilization has developed curvature navigation technology and has the ability to move freely between galaxies, it can be called an advanced civilization.
Then these civilizations that can move freely between can be called god-level civilizations.
They can cross the galaxy with ease, and most of them have the ability to accelerate their spacecraft to a thousand times the speed of light.
In this way, even if it is to cross the galaxy, it will only take a few decades, which is very short compared to the scale of the universe.
Even a few civilizations can accelerate to thousands of times the speed of light and even make short-distance space jumps.
Ever since more and more spaceships from various god-level civilizations began to be discovered near the Skylark, Lin Xu has been observing here.
At the same time, he was filled with emotion. He had never imagined that the universe was so lively.
In the once vast extragalactic space, there are now so many spaceships from different civilizations moving busily.
Although their movement speed is indeed much slower than that of the Skylark, it is already a so-called advanced civilization that is out of reach.
Lin Xu stood in front of the porthole and observed for nearly a day, watching the increasing number of spaceships of different races outside the porthole as they got closer to the rift zone.
Until they finally reached the edge of the rift zone, which was still tens of thousands of light years away from the core area of the rift zone.
It was intercepted by the fairy ship.
Also intercepted were a large number of various spacecraft of various sizes.
These spaceships were large and small, but when faced with the interception of the fairy ship, they all stopped obediently in place, and under the guidance of the guide flying boats sent by the fairy ship, they gathered together, waiting for some kind of inspection.
"This, is this a fairy ship? Could it be another fake fairy ship?" Nanzhu looked at the fairy ship in the distance that looked almost identical to the other ship, and said instinctively as if he had post-traumatic stress disorder.
Mu Xiyue even had the hilt of Penglai's sword appearing in her palm, and she was just about to slash with the sword.
Obviously, after experiencing what happened with the Zerg before, Mu Xiyue no longer has any good feelings towards those guys who might drive a fake fairy ship and run rampant in the universe.
After all, those fake fairy ships of fake humans were obtained from the Zerg.
Now these people are also driving fake fairy ships, I’m afraid they are another Zerg.
"Calm down first. Although it is most likely a fake, we should confirm it first. Also, just because it looks like a fairy ship, it doesn't necessarily mean that all enemies are like the Zerg." Lin Xu advised.
Mu Xiyue then slowly put away the external high-dimensional power organ in her hand, the hilt of Penglai.
"Master, do we need to perform a space jump to break contact?" Chen Xing asked.
"No, let's go over and see what's going on." Lin Xu shook his head and decided.
With the speed and distance of the Skylark's space jump, if it wanted to leave, this ship was most likely a fake fairy ship and could not be stopped at all.
But how could Lin Xu leave without investigating the matter thoroughly?
In this way, the Skylark pretended to be an ordinary spaceship undergoing inspection, and docked obediently under the guidance of the guiding flying boat.
Arrived at the place where countless spaceships were docked.
At the same time, he also received a broadcast notification from the fairy ship.
"The Immortal Ship has been ordered to patrol the five major river systems and eliminate all dangerous factors. Thank you for your cooperation."
Suddenly, Mu Xiyue was stunned.
Back then, the fairy ships in the Milky Way were also ordered to patrol the galaxy and conquer rebellious forces.
And now this fairy ship is also ordered to patrol the five major river systems.
Mu Xiyue looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu's expression also became serious.
"I didn't detect any nanorobot reaction on the fairy ship ahead." Chen Xing reported at the right time.
"Should we send the Eldar with nanorobots?" Nanzhu asked.
The best way to conduct reconnaissance is to use nanorobots.
However, waiting for the nanorobots to arrive silently at the fairy ship some is still too slow.
"No, the elves make too much noise when they move, so we have to go by ourselves." Lin Xu shook his head and decided.
