In this universe, the Lutamport Academy of Science is continuing to sail towards the [Rim World] under the escort of the battle group commanded by General Hidden Words.

Although the artificial object of the Lutamport Institute of Science cannot be compared to a giant like Wangtian Luoyu, it is also an artificial object with a large volume.

Therefore, in order to be able to pass through the super space tunnel smoothly, the artificial celestial body of the Lutamport Institute of Science has been divided into 12 parts at the beginning of the operation, after all, the energy cost of forcibly expanding the passing diameter of the super space tunnel is too high, and the most important thing is that the risk factor will also increase geometrically.

Since the spatial coordinates of the Moling Star Domain are far away from the main galaxy routes, it is considered an extremely remote star field, so the journey back to the [Edge World] has to be divided into three stages.

First of all, the fleet has to go through a super space tunnel to reach the core structure of the [Time and Space Gate].

Then, from a medium-range space tunnel in the [Space-Time Gate] system, go to the outer edge of the [Rim World] star field.

Finally, after a period of basic interstellar voyage that is not too long, the entire fleet will finally reach the core area of the [Edge World].

At this moment, the artificial celestial body of the Lutankport Institute of Science has successfully reached the core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space]. Because there was still a short repair period before entering the second stage of the voyage, Yuan Haochen was given a chance to revisit the old place.

The core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space] that appeared in front of Yuan Haochen's eyes was still like that.

In the depths of the universe, large expanses of lilac light swirled and intertwined into a giant vortex, and the moment his eyes first touched, memories flooded into his mind and lingered for a long time.

"You're still as charming as ever, you haven't changed at all." Yuan Haochen looked affectionately at the purple milky way that spiraled towards the center of the whirlpool and muttered, "No, the current [Gate of Time and Space] is even more magnificent than it used to be. ”

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine......"

Yuan Haochen silently counted the winding tracks like a purple galaxy in the giant lilac whirlpool in the distance.

"There are a total of 1,722 rotating tracks, which is nearly double the size of the 999 two million years ago......"

Yuan Haochen still vividly remembers the tragic experience of himself and the Volcanic Ball General when they were forced to flee from the No. 66 orbit that almost collapsed to the outside of this universe by the "gray comprehension" of the devouring quark robot.

Today's [Time and Space Gate] still has a rotary orbit numbered 66, but this 66 is no longer the 66 it once was.

In fact, the 66th orbit of the Space-Time Gate had already been completely destroyed under the siege of the main fleet of the Annihilation Alliance and the devouring quark robots.

Even the entire [Gate of Time and Space] has only been restored to its former glory after millions of years of restoration and reconstruction.

"A huge network spanning tens of millions of light years, woven together by 5,120 structural units, has finally been built into such a magnificent [Time and Space Gate] core ......"

Looking at the center of the giant vortex at the core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space], Yuan Haochen's heart was full of emotion.

He thought of Alan. Dr. Lingtu thought of the [Ellen and Shadow] space shelter, and also thought of the high-dimensional space debris that collapsed, and the "key" that the high-dimensional space debris was finally left behind.

The source of the convergence of the 1722 spinning tracks was a pillar of light that radiated dazzling brilliance, piercing through the giant vortex like a sharp sword!

Just like the scene at first sight, the [Gate of Time and Space] consumes a huge amount of energy all the time, and that dazzling pillar of light is like "breathing" in each charging cycle, and the luminosity presents a cycle of alternating light and dark.

Just as Yuan Haochen was thinking about when the next time they would meet, the center of the giant vortex of the core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space] suddenly changed!

I saw a halo of light quickly surging towards the surroundings with thick energy fluctuations, just like a thunderbolt with incomparable power suddenly detonated in the quiet deep water.

"It's ......"

Faced with this scene without warning, Yuan Haochen was very inexplicable.

Although he was not familiar with the operation of the Space-Time Gate, it looked like a fleet was about to travel back from the other side, that is, beyond this universe.

"Is it ......?"

Yuan Haochen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and possibilities burst into his mind that made him extremely excited.

yes, hasn't he been waiting for her to come back?

About 60,000 years ago, in order to find herself, Chen Shuqin traveled through the [Gate of Time and Space] with the scientific fleet of the main civilization and went to the void world outside the universe.

"At this time, the fleet that has returned from outside this universe...... Could she be one of them? ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Haochen could no longer control his mood, and he quickly flew towards the command center of the core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space] with a sharp turn.

"It had to be her...... Yes, it must be her ......."

It seems that there is a strong intuition that tells Yuan Haochen that Chen Shuqin is very likely to be in the exploration fleet that has returned to this universe.

Sure enough, just as Yuan Haochen arrived at the command center, a fleet pierced the void with a powerful spatial tremor and appeared on one of the spatial channels of the core structure of the [Gate of Time and Space].

At this time, the command center was also very surprised by the appearance of this fleet.

[Fleet identity confirmed, this is the main civilization's scientific exploration fleet, number: Encounter No. 26......]

[Departure time, 6.12 epoch ago...... According to the original exploration plan, there are still 4.56 epochs before the fleet returns. 】

[This return should be an unplanned event, please note that the number of fleet flying units is only 32.2% of the pre-departure number, and the operating status is unstable!] 】

[Return to Fleet Scan End...... The logistics engineering team is ready ......]

[Approved to dock with the Data Command Center of the Exploration Fleet ......]

Soon, Yuan Haochen obtained the details of the return fleet through the command center of the core structure of the [Time and Space Gate].

"Sure enough, sure enough, it's the scientific exploration fleet that Shuqin is with!"

For tens of thousands of years, Yuan Haochen has always kept the fleet number of "Encounter 26" firmly in his heart, so when he heard the number of returning to the fleet, his heart was simply happy and worried!

Happily, the lover he was worried about finally returned.

The concern is that the fleet in front of you has obviously suffered an accident, not to mention that the total number of ships returning is less than one-third of the original departure, which must have encountered a very serious problem.

Yuan Haochen was full of anxiety and retrieved the information of the human civilization detachment, and then his heart trembled again.

"Less than 20% of the ships of human civilization have returned ......"

This is really a heavy casualty statistic, so he has to really gasp.

Anxiety, worry, restlessness.

At this time, Yuan Haochen's mood was extremely complicated.

"You...... You guys...... Don't have an accident......"

As the legendary leader of human civilization, on the one hand, he is worried about the casualties of the human civilization fleet, and on the other hand, he is also selfish, that is, he is especially worried about his lover, for fear that she will have an accident.
