Chapter 587: Lyra α

Vega, also known as the α Lyra, is located 25.3 light-years from the Solar System.

The star was once considered by astronomers on Earth to be the second most important star in the sky, after the Sun.

In the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, observers are likely to see Vega near the zenith, and the apparent magnitude is close to magnitude 0, so until the first year of the galactic calendar, some professional and amateur human astronomers still use Vega as the standard for photometry.

Mankind probably would not have thought that in this star system, the most powerful civilization in the cantilever of Orion in the galaxy was born, the Lyra civilization.

At present, the effective territory of the Tianqin civilization is about a thousand light years, although the territory she controls is the smallest among the fifth-level peak civilizations, but the combat power of the Tianqin civilization is definitely in the forefront of the fifth-level peak civilization.

Starting from the solar system, Chen Xin boarded a satellite-class battleship "Princess" of the Tianqin civilization This is Leah's exclusive warship, the battleship is about fifty kilometers long, and it uses two high-power positive and antimatter annihilation reactors to drive the curvature acceleration engine, which can reach a speed of 100 times the speed of light at the earliest, but when generally traveling long distances, it usually uses a cruising speed of 80 times the speed of light, according to this speed, its effective range has reached more than 1,500 light years, and basically only needs to be replenished once, and it can cross the star field controlled by the entire Tianqin civilization.

And from the solar system to the α Lyra, for the "Princess" spacecraft, it will only take a little less than four months.

During this time, Chen Xin focused most of his energy on learning the relevant materials of the Tianqin civilization, including their language, history, military, science and technology, humanities, and so on.

The mystery of the Tianqin civilization was also slowly unveiled in front of Chen Xin.

The Lyra civilization has been around for 54 million years since records began, and their home planet is on the moon of the third gaseous planet in the constell α ation Lyra, which they call Phoenix.

They usually refer to themselves as elves, a sub-human race.

Aside from their lilac eyes and pointed ears, they are indistinguishable from normal humans. After being combined with humans, they can also pass on their ancestry and have children.

Perhaps the only difference is that while most humanoid civilizations are dominated by patrilineal clans, the Lyra civilization is the opposite, they are matrilineal.

In the top leadership of the Lyra civilization. Men occupy less than 10 percent of the seats, women occupy more than 90 percent, and 80 percent of the scientists of the Lyra civilization are women.

The only exception is the military, where male soldiers are overwhelmingly male.

Due to the top level of science and technology of the Lyra civilization, coupled with the fact that most of them are tall and tall, beautiful and elegant in appearance, the status of the Lyra civilization is very high in the eyes of the humanoid civilization of the galaxy. Almost all are objects of worship of all humanoid civilizations.

However, with the exception of the other two fifth-level humanoid civilizations and a very small number of fourth-level civilizations, very few individuals from other civilizations were able to marry a woman of the Lyra civilization.

At present, the total population of the Tianqin civilization exceeds 10 billion, with nearly a million habitable planets and industrial planets, and the capital is the mother planet Phoenix.

They numbered more than 10 million warships and were divided into ten fleets, each of which had more than 1,000 planetary-class warships, 100,000 satellite-class warships, 400,000 small planetary-class ships, and 400,000 meteorite-class warships, in addition to a short stellar warship with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers.

And that's not even counting the large number of starfighters and the various stationary battle fortresses.

This is almost the largest military force in the entire Orion Spiral Arm. Except for those fifth-level peak civilizations in the center of the silver plate, no civilization could compete with the fleet of the Lyra civilization.

But even so. In front of the Carbon-Based Life Alliance, the Lyra civilization is also like a broiler waiting to be slaughtered.

Especially after the terrorist attack planned by the "Children of Lyra" at the headquarters of the Galactic Carbon-based Alliance fifty years ago, which killed more than two billion people, the Lyra civilization has become the target of almost all non-humanoid carbon-based civilizations.

At present, the Lyra civilization has completely entered a state of combat readiness, and when the "Princess" spacecraft occasionally enters certain galaxies to dock and rest, Chen Xin can see those industrial planets that are in full operation and the army that is busy preparing for war.

Of course, during these months of flying. The steel hammer was not idle, it was running around the spaceship all day long, touching the entire spaceship, although there were many materials that it could not be synthesized for the time being, but the overall design of the spaceship did not have any secrets in its eyes.

Furthermore. Chen Xin will also contact the New Earth spacecraft, which has been on the voyage for more than a year, and Vali, as the central brain of the New Earth, was left on it by Chen Xin.

At present, the life of human beings in the New Earth is relatively peaceful, and the development speed of the second world is far beyond Chen Xin's expectations.

Iron, paper, gunpowder, compasses, and even printing have appeared, cities have been built in them, and wars have even taken place between teams of more than 10,000 people.

Now the vast majority of people in the second world are focusing on the steam engine, just to see who can be the first to develop the steam engine, and it is said that the research and development reward of the steam engine is as high as 10 million credits.

This is just the beginning for human civilization, as long as the technological level of human beings in the second world slowly improves when they first left the earth, they will soon find that the second world has brought them much more than they imagined.

……

The eighth day of the third month of the second year of the galactic calendar.

After a long voyage of nearly four months, the "Princess" finally arrived at the capital of the Lyra civilization.

The moment the "Princess" spacecraft flew out of curvature, Chen Xin, who was in the command center of the spacecraft, felt that the spacecraft shook slightly twice, and soon stopped.

The porthole of the spaceship slowly opened, and a beam of sunlight that did not belong to the spaceship itself projected in, Chen Xin subconsciously covered his eyes, and in the distance, a star the size of a pigeon's egg was radiating thousands of rays of light.

But what really caught Chen Xin's attention was that not far from the spaceship, a giant metal planet with a diameter of nearly 10,000 kilometers was suspended in the void.

"Wow, what a big metal ball! Old Bean, if I can digest this battle fortress, I will definitely be able to advance to the fourth level. ”

The sound of the steel hammer sounded in Chen Xin's mind, and Chen Xin seemed to hear the sound of its drooling.

Now that it has been promoted to a third-level civilization, the steel hammer has completely lost its original despair under the sufficient food security, and its requirements for food are getting higher and higher.

Chen Xin's surface did not show any different color, and smiled at Leah beside him: "Leah, are we here?" (to be continued......)
