In the vastness of space, a not-so-large fleet is slowly skimming through the darkness.

All of the ships are slightly silvery-gray, and their morphological structure is also distinctive, although the light on them is constantly shining regularly, but the brilliance of the engines has long been dimmed, indicating that the fleet has escaped high-speed navigation and is in inertial mode of movement.

Approximately 10 million light-years away from the core of the [Save the Alliance] and the base of the Creator's civilization - [Rim World], all of the fleet's flying units adjusted their course in an orderly manner, except for a small science ship.

[That's it.] 】

Dr. Dampi, the head of the scientific fleet, said to a human.

This human is none other than Yuan Haochen, who has been away from the long time of 1.82 million years, and at this moment he has finally returned.

Yuan Haochen leaned down and said to Dr. Dampi, "Okay, thank you for taking care of you all the way. ”

Dr. Dampi is an intelligent creature from the Meteor Galaxy, and due to the nature of the environment, life forms there are generally petite in size.

It's like Dr. Dampi, who is only the size of a few of the most popular pets in the human world, but that doesn't stop him from being a great scientist.

[After all, we are from "Ellen and Shadow", and neither the Salvation Alliance nor the Annihilation Alliance will treat us. Therefore, it would be irrational to let the fleet move on further, we still have a task, we just want to complete it smoothly and return as soon as possible. Dr. Dampi said.

"Okay, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will return to [Alan and Shadow] again." Hara said to Dr. Tempi with a smile.

[You are always welcome back, Dr. Hara.] As he spoke, Dr. Dampi made a special etiquette to Yuan Haochen, and then added a few more words, "Okay, I have another suggestion for you. 】

"Please advise." Yuan Haochen also returned the salute.

How did you return to this universe from the world of nothingness? Be sure to be prepared for this question in advance. Snorr......] Dr. Dampi said with deep meaning.

Hearing this, Yuan Haochen nodded in understanding, and he naturally realized that his experience in the [Allen and Shadow] organization was definitely a piece of black history in the eyes of the [Save the Alliance].

……

500,000 light-years away from the [Edge World], there is a blue supergiant star, although it is currently entering its old age, it is even more dazzling.

The Portdal Deep Space Observatory is located in the immediate vicinity of the blue supergiant.

Because this star field is directly under the jurisdiction of the main civilization, the observatory also has a distinct main civilization architectural style. The difference is that the observatory is always semi-invisible to act as a covert monitor.

A young scout was now in the spherical chamber at the outermost edge of the Observatory, obsessively staring at the blue supergiant not far away.

[What's so nice about this, you recruits always like to make a fuss. Another older soldier walked over and scoffed.

[Hee, I'm not very old, and it's the first time I've seen a blue supergiant so closely, and she's much bigger than the planet I was born on. The young scout replied disappreciatively.

[It won't be long before you're aesthetically fatigued, hehe.] The older soldier turned to leave as he continued, "At the end of the day, you will only care about one thing, when will the long service period end...... I've been here long enough, and it's time to return to the "Rimworld". 】

[Maybe there will be a day, but that's all for later......] the young scout soldier laughed.

[Hee-li, you have a good mentality like this, I hope you will continue to keep it up.] 】

The older soldier had already stepped out of the spherical chamber as he spoke, but at that moment, a briefing from the intelligent monitoring system jumped into the brains of the two men.

[The 131st Star Field Survey System at the Observatory of Potdal has detected a small spacecraft approaching ...... Verification of the identity of the other party is ongoing, and the Observatory has turned on a high alert status. 】

[Why is there a separate spaceship going to the "Rim World" at this time?] 】

The older soldier stopped in surprise and turned to the monitoring system.

[The most recent commute was recorded 211 years ago, when an interstellar patrol fleet passed through and applied for a pass. The spaceship that appeared at this time was indeed not normal. The young scout soldier also said cautiously.

The two soldiers quickly retrieved more detailed monitoring information and reported the discovery as soon as possible.

[The other party is actually conducting a wide-area directional broadcast! ] 】

[This means that the other party is actively seeking contact.] 】

The two soon made new discoveries.

[Who to contact?] The young scout asked.

[Of course, it is an attempt to contact the owner of this star field and contact the "edge world". The expression of the older soldier told the young scout that the question was almost mentally retarded, "Look at who the other party is and what they have said. 】

The AI system quickly parsed the wide-area directional broadcast message sent by the unknown spacecraft, and the content turned out to be in the language of the main civilization.

[We are the representatives of the alliance of human civilization and dark energy civilization participating in the defense of the gate of time and space, because we were forced to live outside this universe in the battle, we just returned from outside the universe not long ago, and now we hope to enter the "edge world", please contact and help. 】

After reading the messages sent by the other party, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.

【Space-Time Gate Defense...... Which battle is it? 】

The young scout asked puzzled.

[What kind of defense battle can it be!] You think the Annihilation Alliance can break through our defenses every day! Of course, it was the battle of 1.82 million years ago. The older soldier replied.

[The battle of 1.82 million years ago, oh, I wasn't born yet.] Of course, I've heard of this battle, the Annihilation Alliance is very strong, and the gate of time and space is almost collapsing......] The young scout quickly found the relevant information in his mind that he had studied.

[I personally participated in the defense of the Gate of Time and Space, although it was the final stage of the war, but it is still fresh in my memory, and I still can't forget ......it] The older soldiers also fell into the memory, [They actually drifted outside the universe for 1.82 million years. 】

[Human civilization, and dark energy civilization? The young scout muttered, "My impression of these two civilizations is almost nihilistic, have you heard of it?" 】

[You're right! The older soldier said, "Civilization must first verify the identity of the other party......]

Between the two of them's words, the big database had already retrieved the relevant data for them.

[Silicon-based mechanical civilization alliance, human civilization, dark energy civilization...... Space-Time Gate Energy Unit 1562...... Spiral galaxies ......]

[Gate of Time and Space No. 66 Rotary Orbit...... Hara Haochen ...... "Etching Quark Robot"...... Special Merit!! 】

[This is really amazing!!] 】

Seeing the end, both of them were shocked.

[I remember, it was the representatives of human civilization who discovered the secret of the "Etching Quark Robot", which allowed the Alliance to turn the tide of the battle at the most critical moment......] The older soldier seemed to remember the past of the [Time and Space Gate] defense battle.

[I actually won a special meritorious service!!] The young scout was stunned by this dazzling and unusual feat, [I have never heard of anyone who has received a special merit...... That's remarkable! 】

The older soldier was more experienced and thought more comprehensively, so he immediately reminded: "This is a big deal. We need to be cautious and confirm the identity of the other party! 】

[Okay, I'll report to my superiors right away.] The young scout responded immediately.

As a result, the relevant messages were quickly sent out from the Potdal Observatory, and then all the way to the detection space base in the three levels, all the way to the highest level of the [Rimworld].
