"That's ......" Zheng Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then the enemy I encounter in the future will be an individual?" ”

"Most of them will be, but the fleet is not ruled out."

"What about after the Eighth Technological Era?" Zheng Dong was very curious about the picture of cosmic civilization and asked.

"The Ninth Age of Technology, the Age of Galactic Exile."

"Galactic exile?"

"This is a transition period, a transition period from a low-level civilization to an intermediate civilization, and the technology of the ninth era of science and technology focuses on the superficial application of the four-dimensional plane. Once a low-level civilization comes into contact with the four-dimensional plane technology, it will enter the blacklist of the middle and high-level civilizations, because the four-dimensional technology represents a war at the star level. ”

"Once the superficial application of the four-dimensional plane technology matures, it will directly threaten the survival of the middle and high-level civilizations, like a moth in the teeth. Therefore, once a civilization enters the Ninth Age of Science and Technology, it must be prepared to flee the entire star system, and the army of middle and high-level civilizations may launch a devastating blow to the entire star system at any time. ”

"So, this era is called the Age of Galactic Exile?" Zheng Dong was surprised in his heart.

"Yes."

"And what do you mean by the star field you just mentioned?"

"A star field is a region of a group of stars, generally thousands of light-years in diameter. It's not a small area anymore. ”

"What about after the Ninth Tech Era?"

"It's the high-dimensional era, and now there is no need to contact it."

Zheng Dong had no choice but to suppress the desire to explore in his heart.

"There are three taboos when walking in the universe: first, you must not reveal the location of your hometown. Second, don't ask people about the location of their hometowns. Third, avoid the Morro creatures. ”

"Hometown ......" Zheng Dong nodded, he understood the importance of the home planet to a civilization, "What is Moluo Creature?" ”

"Non-carbon-based, non-silicon-based, non-sulfur-based, etc."

"Not a mainstream creature?"

"So to speak."

"Is that all there is to it?"

"Yes. Moro creatures vary in size, some are a nebula, some are planet-sized beasts, and some are a star. ”

"Like you?!" Zheng Dong raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm."

"Then I see, I'll take a detour!" Zheng Dong was embarrassed. He knew the terrifying power of the messenger.

"The last commandment, don't say that you are the seed of God, and don't expose my existence!"

Zheng Dong was awe-struck and nodded.

"Then I'll send you into the civilization of the galaxy." The messenger said, "Let's go to the Red Flame Empire in this star field I am in charge of first." ”

"The Red Flame Empire ......," Zheng Dong muttered.

An extremely black wormhole appeared in front of Zheng Dong.

Zheng Dong took a deep breath and drove in the Eagle Lie.

"Protect yourself." After receiving the envoy's final entrustment, Zheng Dong saw the scene in front of him change suddenly.

"Here it is, Universe." Zheng Dong was a little excited in his heart, he closed his eyes and opened them again.

An earthy yellow planet with a beautiful blue aura appeared in Zheng Dong's field of vision.

"Carl groped for pizza ......"

Around the earthy yellow planet, there are many space base stations, and spaceships pass by one by one, a prosperous scene.

Zheng Dong received a string of radio messages, but could not decipher them.

Zheng Dong immediately understood, and connected the translation system of the earth's language to the broadcast information.

"Carl groped for pizza...... This is the border station of the Red Flame Empire. ”

"Received the new language information, has been connected in both directions, and loaded into the database ......"

"Please go to the border station to stop at the general warehouse to pay three standard energy crystals, and allocate the parking space."

Zheng Dong was a little stunned.

"What is an energy crystal?"

"An energy crystal, that is, a light energy crystal, a standard energy crystal is the sum of the energy radiated by any star in one day." Broadcast information patiently explained.

Zheng Dong suddenly realized that the energy crystal is the materialization of compressed light energy, which is the knowledge mastered by the seventh technology.

"The sum of a day's energy." Zheng Dong didn't know if the sum of the sun's external radiation for a day could reach the standard, and he didn't know what a day here meant, so he took the sum of the sun's external radiation energy for a day from the four-dimensional energy storage and condensed it into a fist-sized crystal, and then transmitted the information of this crystal to the broadcast.

"To meet the standard, it is a high-quality standard energy crystal."

Zheng Dong was overjoyed, condensed two more energy crystals, and then drove the spaceship towards the planet.

As the distance approached, Zheng Dong received basic information about the planet.

With a mass three times that of the Earth and a gravity twice that of the Earth, it is a rocky planet named the No. 3 Border Station of the Red Flame Empire.

The huge space base station with different shapes gradually became clear in Zheng Dong's eyes.

Some were like a thick needle, with thick rings suspended around it, and some were oval, emitting a terrifying white light in the center, but what impressed Zheng Dong the most was the garrison station of the Red Flame Empire, which was thousands of kilometers long, comparable to a satellite, with a red body and a dazzling red light on the seams, like magma flowing.

The border station is located at the north pole of the planet, and Zheng Dong also saw various spaceships from other civilizations along the way, which was an eye-opener.

Passing through the thin atmosphere, Zheng Dong approached the border station and stopped at the general warehouse.

"Please land at the designated location." Broadcast message alerts.

The Eagle slowed down and descended slowly.

Zheng Dong cleaned up his mood, put on the armor that covered his face, and stepped off the spaceship.

Facing a ten-meter-tall multi-legged creature approaching, Zheng Dong was startled.

The myriaped creature has no head, the visual organ is on the left side of the body, and two large, asymmetrical arms are raised as if to salute.

"Hello, I'm the Border Station Guide, and this location will be your parking place for the next 1,245 years."

"Your year?"

"It's the year of the first planet of Arcturus in the Red Flame Empire, and I'll pass on their time information to you."

Zheng Dong received information and estimated that the first planet of Arcturus was four years of the Earth.

In other words, three energy crystals can buy this position for 5,000 earth years.

Zheng Dong smacked his tongue.

"Please hand over your energy crystals." The Border Station Guides the Way.

Zheng Dong handed out the three energy crystals he had condensed.

The guide of the border station stretched out his giant hand, and the energy crystal was directly integrated into it, and Zheng Dong looked sideways for a while.

"Are you a newcomer? Please register for citizenship of the Red Flame Empire, otherwise you will have to stay at the border station and will not be able to enter the planet where the empire is prosperous. ”

"Uh, okay."

"Ten energy crystals."

"What?! So expensive! Zheng Dong directly burst into foul language, staring angrily at the visual organs of the guide at the border station.

"Once registered, you will be protected by the Red Flame Empire's army."

"Okay...... Zheng Dong felt pain in his flesh, ran back to the Eagle Lie, and condensed ten energy crystals.

"Energy consumption, one percent, the remaining thirty-three percent." Four-dimensional plane intelligent system reminder.

"That's a lot!" Zheng Dong held ten energy crystals and handed them to the guide at the border station.

"Registered Citizen Information ......" the guide accepted the energy crystal, and said.

"Name: Zheng Dong."

"That's it." The guide handed Zheng Dong a fiery red identity tag.

The identity tag was obviously constructed according to the size of the guide, and it was two meters long, and Zheng Dong was almost pressed down.

Fortunately, the identity tag automatically changed size, and after recording Zheng Dong's appearance, it was immediately reduced to match the size of a human body.

Zheng Dong held the identity card, on which there were only the words "Zheng Dong" in the official language of the Red Flame Empire, and his whole body was displayed in high definition on the top, and on the back of the identity card, it was also the big word "Red Flame" in the official language of the Red Flame Empire.

"What is the territory of the Red Flame Empire?" Zheng Dong asked the guide.

"With Arcturus as the center, a radius of three hundred light years." "If you're here to see the world, you might consider joining the business team. ”

"What does a commercial team do?"

"Please pay the information fee for the three energy crystals."

"......" Zheng Dong looked at the guide and didn't speak for a long time.

The guide thought that Zheng Dong would no longer ask, turned and left, and entered the huge parking building.

Zheng Dong felt that he could not be cheated of money, and was determined to collect information on his own.

He piloted the spaceship and flew towards the space base stations that dotted the space.

"Xiongtu Commercial Station Recruitment Guardian ......"

A spiral-shaped space base station broadcasts a message.

"Thousand Stars Exploration Team Recruits Guardians and Prospectors ......"

This is a cube-shaped space base station.

Zheng Dong swept past the space base stations one by one, and had a preliminary plan in his heart.

In the end, he returned to the Xiongtu commercial station and connected with the communication channel.

"Hello, welcome to Xiongtu Commercial Station."

"I'm here to apply for a Guardian."

"Hello, Guardian missions cost an average of fourteen Arcturus First Planet Years per mission, and the reward is thirty-two base energy crystals plus any rewards. Please state your force level. ”

"The pinnacle of the seventh technological era." Zheng Dong did not hesitate at all, he found that most of the spaceships he encountered on the road were from the seventh technological era, and he had not seen one from the eighth technological era.

"Are you a citizen of the Empire or a freeman?"

"Citizens of the Empire."

"Meet the standard, please enter the base station."

Zheng Dong piloted the Eagle Lie to fly close to the base station.

The base station automatically opened a temporary parking bay, and the Eagle Flame sailed in.

"Please go to the lobby to handle business."

Zheng Dong stepped off the spaceship and walked into the hall along the wide corridor that was tens of meters high, like a highway on Earth.

The hall is bright, with all kinds of creatures gathering.

Zheng Dong was dazzled and kept asking about the four-dimensional plane intelligence system.

"What's that, that black, hairy one?"

"And what's that blue one?"

“……”

"These are exoskeletons or armor, not real appearances." The four-dimensional plane intelligence system patiently explained in the tone of the country children entering the city, "Very few races will be recorded in the database, and each race will be kept secret, which involves the safety of the home planet." ”

Zheng Dong let out an "oh" and walked to the front of the hall.

The railing in front of the hall was seven or eight meters high, and Zheng Dong had to start his suit and fly up.

A big milky eye looked at him.

Zheng Dong trembled with fright.

"Hello, are you here to register as a defender?" The milky white eyes emit the standard language of the Red Flame Empire, and Zheng Dong's suit translates it into the language of the earth.

"Uh, yes." Zheng Dong clutched his heaving chest.

"Please hand over your Imperial citizenship card."

Zheng Dong handed out the identity card.

The milky white eyes scanned the identity card, and then I didn't know what force to levitate it in the air and return it to Zheng Dong.

"Once you have registered, you can view the tasks of the last 30 years, and then take on the tasks according to your own situation."

Zheng Dong took the identity card, lowered his body, carefully avoided some huge creatures, and returned to the Eagle Spirit.

"The universe is really lively and strange."

Recalling the various creatures he had seen, Zheng Dong sighed.
