The coordinates of the three galaxies provided by the ‘Infinite Divine Armaments’ were different, and the distance between them was huge. The last coordinate that was a billion light-years away was far beyond the influence of his ‘Surveillance Terminal’ and ‘Piloting Lighthouse.’
Therefore, Li Wenyuan decided to first head to the galaxy clusters that were two million and eight million light-years away from there.
The two megastructures he used for ‘remote operations’ had a maximum range of about ten million light-years. With the assistance of those two megastructures, he could remotely control the mechanical products under his control over the interstellar space distance.
Although there would be a delay, and the delay would increase as the distance increased, Li Wenyuan felt that that was still a good thing.
BoxNovel.comNo matter what was in those galaxies, he could detect it in advance through the ‘advance party’ and avoid any possible danger.
Due to the ‘Space-Time Ghost,’ he was now very cautious about entering an unknown environment. He was afraid that one day, an ‘Administration Matrix Space-Time Ghost’ would collide with him and destroy him in that world.
At that moment, the ‘Upper Three Spiral Arms’ civilization was still unaware that the central Black Hole near the middle of the ‘Heavenly Chasm’ had undergone tremendous changes. A super megastructure orbiting the Black Hole had been slowly erected as the stars shifted, reflecting a mysterious luster.
As the most influential civilization alliance in the ‘Upper Three Spiral Arms,’ the ‘Joint Pursuers Alliance,’ they more or less sensed that there should be a mysterious civilization with extremely strong comprehensive strength in that galaxy through various clues.
However, they felt that since the other party had no intention of communicating with them, there was no need for them to take the initiative to look for him. They should just let nature take its course.
Instead, they spent most of their energy exploring the entire galaxy.
They had just broken free from the shackles of the speed of light, and the galaxy was still a mystery to them. Even if the ‘Lower Three Spiral Arms’ did not have a hyperspace channel, their scientists had found a technology named the ‘Wormhole Generator’ from the data of the ‘Skywalker Empire.’ With that technology, they could also move at faster-than-light speed across the galaxies.
Therefore, no one noticed that the ‘Outer Stargate’ to the outside world was slowly opening.
A small fleet silently arrived at the ‘Outer Stargate.’ As they approached the ‘Outer Stargate,’ they activated certain equipment on the ship.
In the next second, the fleet ‘disappeared,’ leaving behind a small piece of ‘curtain’ that was difficult to detect. Upon closer inspection of the ‘curtain,’ one could see that it seemed to be the true body of the fleet, but they seemed to have been shrunk.
All the waves seemed to have been distorted into that narrow curtain, and when they were released again, they were almost undetectable.
Only the devices that detected the ‘space-time curvature’ found that the space-time curvature had become extremely large at the original position of the fleet. Although it was far from the level of a Black Hole, it was enough to make most detection methods ineffective.
That was a semi-finished ‘Small Shipborne Curtain System’ developed by Li Wenyuan based on the ‘Curtain Theory.’ The purpose was to prevent his spaceship from being openly detected by the target galaxy cluster when the ‘Outer Stargate’ ‘launched’ his spaceship outwards.
Even if it still couldn’t completely eliminate the huge commotion caused by the activation of the ‘Outer Stargate,’ it would still allow those civilizations to spend a long time finding out what was going on. That would undoubtedly be of great help to him in collecting information.
After everything was ready, the ‘Outer Stargate’ was activated.
Li Wenyuan was prepared to send the ‘advance party’ to the two closest galaxies with human ruins at the same time. However, the ‘Outer Stargate’ could not send the fleets to two different places in one ‘launch.’ Therefore, he had to wait for a while after the first ‘launch’ before he could send a fleet to another galaxy.
Pure darkness began to envelop the fleet under the protection of the ‘curtain’ as the ‘Outer Stargate’ was activated. It was also the first time Li Wenyuan saw with his own eyes how the ‘Outer Stargate’ sent his fleet away.
Time seemed to have slowed down because of the darkness, and a huge space-time fluctuation was revolving around the darkness until it reached a certain limit.
Then, the entire darkness was ‘launched’ by some force at an unbelievable speed. In the blink of an eye, it was out of the detection range of Li Wenyuan’s surveillance equipment. Only the ‘Piloting Lighthouse’ captured the signal of the darkness’s movement, but it quickly lost contact because it could not catch up with the darkness.
Fortunately, the speed slowed down very quickly. In the end, it maintained a certain rate of faster-than-light speed and flew steadily to the galaxy two million light-years away. The ‘Piloting Lighthouse’ finally captured the signal of the darkness after a while.
It was conservatively estimated that it would take another half a year to reach the galaxy, but that speed was enough to surprise Li Wenyuan. That was a distance of two million light-years, and the ‘Outer Stargate’ could reach it in just half a year. Besides the warp drive, he could not find any other way to travel faster than the ‘Outer Stargate’ on the same interstellar space scale.
So, the wait began. Half a year was just enough time for the ‘Outer Stargate’ to recharge for the second time.
At the same time that the first batch of ‘advance party’ had arrived at its destination, the second batch of ‘advance party’ with a target eight million light-years away also set sail through the ‘Outer Stargate.’
Li Wenyuan didn’t ask for much. He only needed those ‘advance parties’ to build a temporary base at the target locations.
As long as he was given accurate space-time coordinates, he could use the warp engine to cross an infinite distance directly. Even if it was purgatory, he could use the number of fleets to see how many levels there were.
Considering that the first batch of ‘advance party’ should have arrived at its destination, Li Wenyuan waited for the news from the ‘Surveillance Terminal’ with peace of mind.
Previously, when he was communicating with the ‘Light Pursuers’ civilization in the ‘Cradle’ galaxy, he had roughly determined the ‘delay’ brought about by five million light-years. Assuming there was no interference, the delay would be less than two hours, and the distance of two million light-years would naturally require less time.
Even though it was hard even to accept a one-frame delay in e-sports, Li Wenyuan had already gotten over it.
The artificial intelligence on his spaceship was not to be trifled with. He could completely accept a delay of 40 minutes. That was much safer for him than moving his main body directly to an unknown dangerous place.
What’s more, if it really didn’t work, he could also build a ‘Piloting Lighthouse’ and ‘Surveillance Terminal’ as a relay station or use the ‘ghost signal’ to invade other facilities that could enhance the signal to reduce the delay.
Thus, he waited with peace of mind…
At the same time, in a galaxy two million light-years away, a group of interstellar space miners was quietly approaching a spaceship’s wreckage, discussing how to turn waste into treasure to offset the exploitation of the ‘Corporate Empire.’
However, just as they were about to board one of the spaceship’s wreckage, something suddenly flashed before their eyes. Then, the spaceship’s wreckage disappeared as if it had been eaten by something.
At first, they thought that they had encountered some mysterious space disaster and were terrified. However, they soon discovered that a strange ‘dark sphere’ the size of a planet had appeared in the galaxy. It seemed that that thing had made the spaceship’s wreckage disappear.
Just as they were hesitating about how to deal with the sphere, the darkness gradually thinned, revealing a seemingly empty space inside. In the next moment, it distorted and revealed its true appearance.
It was a fleet. Although it was not large, it gave them a strange feeling, as if that fleet came from an extremely distant world.
The moment they saw that those spaceships seemed to be battleships, the group of interstellar space miners scattered in all directions. However, one of them had a glint in his eyes. He could tell that those battleships did not seem to be controlled by anyone. They just stayed there quietly.
Greed instantly ignited in the heart of that bold miner. The dream of getting rich overnight immediately made him want to take a gamble.
He didn’t need to control that fleet. As long as he could leave a trace of his own on it and claim that he found it, he could sell the information. Even if he were to lose 95% of the profits, the remaining was enough for him to live on.
It was not that he did not consider that those spaceships could move at any time. But ultimately, the feeling of wanting to take a gamble to get rich overnight overwhelmed his rationality.
After all, what if?
There would always be such an illusion in life. Not more than three seconds after he chose to approach, he realized that the battleships seemed to have come to life. One of them even aimed a tube that seemed to be the main cannon at his small broken ship. In his panic, he seemed to see a huge amount of energy gathering in it.
And he was unable to escape the fate of being locked on forever, just like a comet captured by a star..
