Nightmare Moon and Sea of Stars.

What was once a thriving civilization has now been reduced to a cold, silent dead land! Only the Ocean of Stars, which has not changed for hundreds of millions of years, silently witnesses everything here! Desolation and prosperity, prosperity and decay, but in the blink of an eye!

Somewhere in a desolate void, the brilliant starlight projected from the quadrangular sky dome was obscured by a huge cloud of interstellar dust!

In the depths of the dust clouds, under the dark and dull background, an ancient wormhole was quietly suspended in the air, like a deep cosmic shaft, silently gazing at everything around it!

At some point, the diameter of the wormhole has slowly doubled, and a faint blue light has penetrated through!

The speed of the wormhole expansion is extremely fast, and after only ten minutes, it has reached a radius of tens of kilometers in diameter! A black thing finally poked its head out of it, and it expanded rapidly!

Over time, the full picture of it has gradually emerged. It's a huge black fortress! The surface of the outer armor was pitch black, faintly with countless matrix patterns that shimmered with silver rays, and a light blue energy shield was surrounded by the outside!

Half an hour later, the war fortress finally fully burrowed out of the ancient wormhole and then hovered nearby. Powerful, obscure, or gentle energy fluctuations quickly scanned the surrounding void!

The many radar detection equipment on the war fortress cover hundreds of detection systems with different principles and different modes of action, such as acoustic energy, light energy, electrical energy, thermal energy, magnetic field energy, gravitational field energy, and vacuum energy!

After all these devices are turned on, there is almost nothing in a radius of tens of thousands of light seconds, including the fault space, that can hide from their scanning and sensing!

If you encounter some unknown intelligent civilization. Then the high-power electronically shielded countermeasure system in the bastion will start on its own. Null and no longer work all the battleship electronics that dare to approach the fortress!

After fifteen minutes of repeated probing. The fortress also dropped multiple groups of high-speed unmanned detection flying saucers, cautiously flying out of the coverage of the dust cloud to conduct a new round of observation of the surrounding void environment! The collected data is sent back to the fortress like a tidal wave, and it is aggregated into the central light brain!

“…… My lord, everything is normal around you! No anomalies found! A moment later, a voice rang out in the main control center.

On the general command desk, Xiao Junling sat in his own position, after listening to Hu Yuanming's report. Nodding with satisfaction, the light pen in his hand made a mark on the star map in front of him, and then said:

"This is the eleventh ancient wormhole we've passed through! So far, it looks like everything is going well! If the rest of the journey can be safe and sound, maybe we can arrive early! ”

Zhou Yun said: "I hope so! If only we could discover a few more ancient wormholes! Maybe you don't need to face up to any of those troubles! Arrive directly at the Biluo Galaxy! ”

Along the way, I don't know if it was luck or other reasons, the experts of the pilot group, under Xiao Junling's prompting, actually discovered a number of hidden ancient wormholes in a row, thus significantly shortening the scheduled voyage!

It's been a month since I've entered the Sea of Stars, although I've encountered some minor troubles along the way. But overall, there are still no dangers!

According to the latest estimates. In about ten days or so, you can leave this murderous starry sky and enter the next galaxy!

The so-called ancient wormholes, refers to those structures that are abnormally stable, exist for more than tens of millions of years, such wormholes are usually very large, the distance of communication is also beyond imagination, the general wormhole, whether it is naturally formed or created by the wisdom of civilization, the communication distance is only hundreds of light years at most, this is not only a matter of technology, cost, but also military security considerations.

The communication distance of the ancient wormhole is often tens of thousands of light years, and the farthest is even hundreds of thousands of light years! Their end often communicates directly with one or more distant and unfamiliar galaxies! There are not many such wormholes discovered by humans at present, but each ancient wormhole is an important help for human beings to expand outward!

Xiao Junling's newly discovered ancient wormholes, each of which had a teleportation distance of no less than 20,000 light years, relied on their effect to avoid many of the great places marked as "extremely dangerous" on the star map in advance. If you follow the original course, I'm afraid that you won't even finish half of the distance now!

The value of wormholes is immeasurable! According to the laws of the Huaxia Empire, as long as the private adventurous groups or individuals can find usable safe wormholes in the Savage Star Domain and open up new passages, then they will automatically obtain the franchise rights for up to three hundred years, and just collecting tolls can ensure the rich life of a family for several generations! If it is an ancient wormhole, then the benefit of the discoverer will undoubtedly be greater!

Just this section of the channel that Xiao Junling has mastered and verified now, if he takes it out for auction, he can exchange it for at least two-digit permanent ownership of the super-grade resource star field!

Whenever a new ancient wormhole is discovered, it basically means that a new wave of expansion has arrived! All countries and major consortia will compete to send huge fleets to find rare resources, energy veins, and planets suitable for immigration and development!

If you encounter a new intelligent civilization, it will formulate a response strategy according to the development level and civilization characteristics of the other party, or make friends, or conquer, or suppress, or slaughter, and the core purpose is only one, that is, the maximization of human civilization's own interests!

At present, most of the natural wormhole coordinates of the Anthropocene Realm are in the hands of the Huaxia Empire, and many of them are quite ancient, the communication distance is beyond imagination, and even out of the scope of the known Star Sea Realm.

In fact, the War Fortress has found more than one rare resource in the many star fields it passes through along the way, and the reserves are quite rich! Even the veins of the cloud crystal have been discovered!

Therefore, some subordinates proposed to stay in these star fields for a while and mine some resources before leaving, but they were all vetoed by Xiao Junling.

What he needed was not only resources, but also the land where he could establish his first roots in a galaxy far, far away. Stability and safety factors must be taken into account! So these small profits did not arouse his interest.

"It's a pity that for the time being, there is no such 'fast lane' as the ancient wormhole!" Xiao Junling checked the star map and said with a little regret:

"The next wormhole is one hundred and sixty lightseconds away, and it is estimated that the next few teleportations will only be able to go like this! Let's hope nothing goes wrong! ”

He looked at Hu Yuanming and said, "I'll go to the rest meeting, you keep an eye on it, and call me at any time if there is an accident!" ”

"It's okay! Rest assured, Lord! He replied.

Xiao Junling handed over the temporary authority to him, then got up and returned to his rest area.

Come to the cultivation room and sink your consciousness back into your body.

The charm on the platform became more and more beautiful, and beside her, there was another young man in golden strange-shaped armor, and his golden eyes stared at him calmly!

In the sky above the young man's head, the light of the golden star increased a lot, and the golden light was extremely bright and like a substance erupted from the surface of the star, and countless huge golden balls of light appeared out of thin air around the star, slowly rotating along a specific trajectory, and layers of unrecognizable ancient strange runes continued to derive, appearing in the air, and occasionally small golden lightning suddenly appeared, and then quickly burst away, turning into pieces of light and mist in the void around the star!

"It's a pleasure to see you again!" He bowed slightly.

"You're welcome!" He said gently, "Thanks to your presence these days, otherwise we wouldn't be in much trouble now!" ”

This young man is the golden star, or the projection of the main consciousness of the starry sky painting! (To be continued......)
