The vast starry sky, the bright galaxy.

In the vastness of the universe, in the eternal darkness, the 'Vanguard' interstellar reconnaissance ship seemed to stand still, motionless.

Interstellar travel without a reference object is easy to get lost, because in the vast universe, there are almost the same stars everywhere around, whether bright or dark, and there is no essential difference.

Because of this, interstellar travel is boring and lonely.

If there is no star map and accurate navigation and positioning guidance, interstellar travel will never reach the end, and interstellar ships will become cold space junk due to the exhaustion of energy and resources, and will remain in this vast universe forever.

Qin Tian is not worried that this kind of long journey of 'not going to the village in front and not going to the store behind' will not reach the end.

Before this adventure, Qin Tian had already studied a system prop starry sky map and had done sufficient research.

"In another 6 hours, we will have to travel through the wormhole for the second time, and then sail for about 4 hours to reach the planet Bor!

After Qin Tian sighed, he put down the smart terminal, picked up a cup of hot tea, looked around and checked the data displayed on each screen on the bridge, and confirmed that everything was normal.

It's a long way!

The Zeta system is so far away from the solar system that it takes two days to travel through wormholes from the planet Dastan.

Perhaps it is precisely because the distance is too far, and the location of the wormhole is not easy to find in the vast universe, so the major civilizations in the universe will rarely come into contact.

Just like the solar system where the earth is located, Qin Tian knows that there are 11 wormholes, but only the No. 7 wormhole near Mars can travel to the planet Dastan, while the other 10 wormholes have traveled to other distant or near galaxies in the past, and there is no life planet.

For civilizations that do not have the 'Monopoly system', a cheating artifact, if they want to carry out interstellar travel without conquering faster-than-light flight, they can only use wormholes, from research and exploration to discovery and positioning, and then learn to expand wormholes to achieve object crossing, and finally master the crossing technology of wormhole expansion......

This is undoubtedly a long process, and I don't know how much manpower, material resources and funds will be spent on scientific research, and it may not necessarily be successful if it takes countless hours.

Qin Tian once asked the Monopoly system, without its help, if the human beings on the earth want to use wormholes to carry out interstellar travel, they will have to spend at least a hundred years doing relevant research, and scientific research is to continue to invest, a little slack or insufficient investment, the time is difficult to estimate.

Of course, it is not possible to use wormholes to discover alien civilizations.

If you find the wrong wormhole and travel to the wrong place, not only will you not encounter an alien civilization, but you may never return.

What's more difficult is to use wormholes in different locations to carry out cross-galaxy crossing, who knows where to find the wrong wormhole?

Therefore, it is precisely because the technical difficulty of interstellar travel is so high that the contact between the major civilizations in the universe is almost zero.

Of course, Qin Tian obtained the plug-in of the Monopoly system, and had an accurate starry sky map, just like a treasure map with accurate route guidance, first found the planet Dastan, and now he wants to go to the planet Bor, which is another matter.

It was still early to arrive, and Qin Tian decided to study the reconnaissance mission more carefully.

In the past six months, Qin Tian has taken advantage of the opportunity to ask questions to the Monopoly system every day, and has asked about the situation of the Quet Federation and the planet Bor many times.

Seven years ago, the Quat Federation was still at the level of a fifth-level civilization.

Five years ago, the Quat Federation invaded the planet Bor, and it took two years to complete the invasion and occupation.

Three years ago, thanks to the huge benefits of the war of aggression and the huge investment in military affairs, the military science and technology of the Quit Federation made a major breakthrough and entered the fourth-level civilization.

Nowadays, the Quat Federation is constantly squeezing the planet Bor, constantly improving its overall technological and industrial level, making the entire Federation enter the fourth-level civilization level.

According to the progress of the completion of the A1 mission received by Qin Tian, it will take two more years for Qin Tian to enter the Zeta system and find a way to eliminate the Sixth Fleet of the Quat Federation and occupy the planet Bor.

In this way, the Quat Federation has a full five years to improve, and it has begun to take shape at the fourth level from the field of military science and technology, and may expand to all fields, and the overall strength has increased greatly.

This Nima is a little painful.

The civilization of the earth is constantly improving, and the civilization of the Quat Federation is also constantly improving!

And the situation is too similar between the two.

First of all, the Earth civilization has the resource-rich planet Dastan, and the Quat Federation civilization also owns the planet Bor.

Secondly, the Weile Group in the current earth civilization has already broken through the fourth-level civilization, but most countries and regions are still at a lower level, and the same is true for the Quite Federation civilization, whose breakthrough in the field of military science and technology has reached the fourth-level civilization level, but there is still a big gap in other aspects.

In the end, the Earth civilization controlled the planet Dastan, and it was the Weile Group that launched a 'clean-up operation' against mutant beasts and zombies, while the Quat Federation civilization controlled the planet Bor, which launched a huge 'war of aggression', both of which used the war to take a resource planet and expand the development space of their own civilization.

……

Two civilizations with many similarities will collide in two years, and it is not certain which one will be stronger or weaker, and who will have the last laugh, but this situation is indeed very frustrating.

Qin Tian even felt that the system A1 mission he received this time was really a bit of a trick, which was completely for Qin Tian to take the initiative to provoke trouble, in the name of saving the people of the invaded planet Bor, but in fact, it detonated an interstellar war between the two major civilization races!

It's like someone suddenly coming to the planet Dastan and defeating the army of robots of the 'Guardian' intelligent system.

Will Qin Tian swallow his anger and give up? Will the countries of the world, which already have a large number of immigrant populations and vested interests on the planet Dastan, sit idly by? When the time comes, it will definitely be an interstellar war!

Therefore!

It was precisely because of all kinds of curiosity and questions in his heart, considering whether it was really necessary to make enemies with the civilization of the Quat Federation and whether it was worth fighting for the planet Bor, so Qin Tiancai drove the 'Vanguard' interstellar reconnaissance ship alone to do preliminary investigations.

You can't believe whatever the Monopoly system says.

Qin Tian sometimes really suspects that the tasks given by the Monopoly system seem to be deliberately guiding himself to do something, although it seems that he is constantly growing and strengthening, but he always feels that there is a taste of conspiracy.

The previous task did not harm the heavens and reason, and there were no advantages and disadvantages, so Qin Tian felt that it didn't matter, and he didn't investigate it carefully.

But this time the A1 mission is a special war, or to have an interstellar war with another civilized race, of course Qin Tian has to understand the situation clearly.

If it's not worth it, then Qin Tian will not hesitate to give up the task, and the big deal is that he will be judged to have failed the task, be demoted to level 5, and will not be able to take the task for a year.

……

Shout!!

The streamlined 'Vanguard' interstellar reconnaissance ship, which resembles a flying sword, dragged a long azure light across the vast starry sky.

After Qin Tian perfected the reconnaissance plan again, he went to recuperate and rest regularly, and let the reconnaissance ship autonomously.

Five hours later, the alarm clock went off, and the reconnaissance ship was already approaching the wormhole.

Activating the wormhole expansion energy generator, in the dark night sky, ripple-like energy fluctuations suddenly appeared, forming a black vortex at an extremely fast speed, the vortex became larger and larger, but somewhat unstable.

After the extremely fast reconnaissance ship flew in, the whirlpool quickly disappeared, the ripples calmed, and the dark universe returned to its original state, as if the reconnaissance ship had never appeared.

A wormhole is a narrow tunnel that connects two different spaces in the universe, making it very convenient to travel between different galaxies.

With the current strength of the peak level of the fourth-level civilization of Weile aerospace science and technology, it can only be expanded to quickly travel through different galaxies, if you want to completely understand the wormhole, it has to be a third-level civilization to do it, Weile Group has been vigorously studying how the wormhole is formed, how to use dark matter, breaking through the space theory and dark matter system, and it is logical to enter the third-level civilization.

Airplanes!

Inside the Zeta system.

In the darkness, there was suddenly a dark place, and there was an abnormal fluctuation of energy, followed by an energy vortex, and the hole became bigger and bigger.

In an instant, the dark-black painted 'Vanguard' interstellar reconnaissance ship jumped out at great speed, and after the wormhole mouth lost its expansion energy, it quickly collapsed and returned to its original state, black as if it was a black hole for eternity.

Although before Qin Tian set off, he used the 'Equipment Reconstruction' skill and spent 10 million energy points to strengthen the 'Pioneer' interstellar reconnaissance ship, which had already reached the peak level of the fourth-level civilization, and reached the middle level of the third-level civilization, he should not be afraid of the Quite Federation civilization.

However, in order to be safe, Qin Tian still adopted a conservative strategy.

In order to avoid being detected, Qin Tian had already set the program, the moment the reconnaissance ship left the wormhole, the power system was shut down, and the 4 plasma thrusters no longer sprayed dazzling high-temperature particle beams, and at the same time entered a state of absolute radio silence, like a huge meteorite floating in the dark starry sky.

With the help of its initial velocity when it broke out of the wormhole, the reconnaissance ship sailed forward silently for a full 10 minutes, listening to radio waves and reconnoitering the surrounding environment.

Just like an attack nuclear submarine that suddenly arrives in an unfamiliar sea area, it will silently maneuver under unknown circumstances, and use equipment including 'passive sonar, radio monitoring, photoelectric detection and sensing' to monitor and listen silently to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment before taking action.

Qin Tian's tactics are the same, he found that the arrival of the interstellar reconnaissance ship did not cause any abnormal movements in the Zeta system, and the Quite Federation civilization obviously does not have the ability to monitor the entire Zeta system in real time, just like today, it is impossible for the Weile Group to monitor the entire solar system.

After sailing silently for a while, Qin Tian first conducted a starry sky positioning, and then launched a meticulous reconnaissance work.

Whether it is the Earth or the planet Dastan, any planet that can give birth to life is because of their unique environment, such as the sun that the Earth orbits, continuously emitting light and heat, and supplying the energy for the growth of all things on the Earth, there is also a dazzling 'sun' in the Zeta Galaxy, and this yellow dwarf star is still very young, less than 3 billion years old.

The Zeta galaxy is lucky, because there are two yellow dwarfs in a large galaxy, each of which forms a small galaxy and each gives birth to two living planets, Bor and Quart.

It's like there are two solar systems and two Earths in the Milky Way.

Through observation, Qin Tian found that it is currently the closest to the small galaxy where the planet is located, and this week is obviously more perfect than the earth, because they are heavier, the internal magnetic field of the planet is stable, the crustal activity is less, there are many islands, the coastline is long, and there is no 'useless land' such as the volcanic desert Gobi, so it is more suitable for life to breed and reproduce.

As for the more distant planet Quart, Qin Tian didn't have time to explore.

However, in this small galaxy where Planet Bor is located, the dazzling yellow dwarf star is shining brightly, and obviously its vitality is still very strong, and the natural conditions of Planet Bor are better than those of the Earth, and the civilization that was bred should be more prosperous and developed, so why was it invaded by the civilization of the Quat Federation?

The answer also comes from the 'abundant natural conditions'!

Because of the large number of islands and the abundant natural conditions, there are 125 countries of all sizes on the planet of Bor, which have created a brilliant culture and a prosperous economy, but also because there are too many countries and frequent conflicts of interest with each other, so the history of civilization in this week is the history of war.

There is not much difference in strength between each other, and there are frequent wars, and the original countries on the planet Bor, of course, have no intention or ability to develop science and technology, so in the end, they are scattered, and they are defeated by the more powerful scientific and technological civilization of the Quit Federation, which crosses 2.7 billion kilometers, and it becomes a reasonable thing.

After all, falling behind means being beaten!

This is like, if Neptune is a planet suitable for life in the solar system, and it is rich in mineral resources, but the locals are war scumbags, for some powerful countries on the earth who know this news, of course, they will not hesitate to invade and occupy it.

Of course, if those scattered countries on the planet Bor, if they formed a federation back then, struggled to develop science and technology, resisted the invasion of powerful enemies, and fought an interstellar war with the civilization of the Quat Federation, it was not certain who would win and who would lose.

However, there is no if!

……

After some careful selection, Qin Tian found that there was a large gaseous planet with many moons 200 million kilometers away from Planet Bor.

The planet is even more violent than Saturn in the solar system, with harsh environments and hurricanes, and the large and small moons around it are also resource-poor but dangerous, with huge rings of dust that can be seen from afar.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.

After careful investigation, Qin Tian confirmed that there was no sign of the commercial or military activities of the Quat Federation civilization around this star, and then he controlled the 'Vanguard' interstellar reconnaissance ship to hide in the past.

After hiding, Qin Tiancai released a small detection satellite to scout carefully.

During the long-distance reconnaissance, Qin Tian found that there was a large space port near the planet, ships such as cargo spaceships shuttled very frequently, and there were also some reconnaissance satellites scattered around the planet Bor for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and some warships were cruising.

Among them, there is a huge militarized spaceport, radio activity is very frequent, and there are many starships stationed, presumably that is the location of the Sixth Fleet of the Quat Federation.

Because the distance is too far, no matter how advanced the reconnaissance satellites released by the 'Pioneer' interstellar reconnaissance ship are, it is impossible for them to be 'clairvoyant'; no matter how far away they are, they can see all the situations in detail, and if they want to find out the situation, they have to further narrow the distance or even infiltrate them.

However, Qin Tian did not rush to act rashly, but let the reconnaissance satellite lurk silently, acting as a 'bystander' to monitor and listen for a period of time, and by deciphering the content of their radio communications, he could further understand the situation, and never startled the snake.

However, cracking the translated content made Qin Tian stunned, as if it was unsightly and shocking......
