"I remember you said it was a new work...... "Michael wondered, he still had a vague impression of the painting.

"Yes, it was just last year when I finished drawing, but it took me 30 years from the beginning of the pen to the completion of the painting." Wen Zhong looked at Michael with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Michael had no interest in this, and he was distracted as he browsed the scrolls, while grasping the timing in his mind.

"Wait......" he snapped to his senses. This is not a known star map. As an important member of the President's Cabinet, Michael was often invited to participate in the colonial progress reports of the Development Committee and the Development Agency, and he had long been familiar with the plane or hologram legends that presented various shapes, and the shape, arrangement, part and whole picture of these drawings by Wen Zhong were different from the familiar legends in his mind, and he immediately realized that this was actually an unknown star map that was completely unfamiliar to him!

"Here...... I know ......" Michael pointed to the lower left corner of the scroll. "This is the Balde system......" his fingers involuntarily moved upwards, then spread his palms and waved them in front of the scroll.

"Is this ......" He looked at Wen Zhong hesitantly, while the old man nodded and gave him an affirmative answer.

"A post-Bald paradise!" Wen Zhong smiled at him, and his ruddy face exuded a strange look at the moment.

"Haydn, do you know that our star map is actually based on the trend of the star gate to build a rail transit map?" Wen Zhong suddenly changed the subject, which made Michael wonder, and he didn't know what he had in mind.

"You know, the gates are connected to fixed galaxies, and we make star maps based on the starting waypoints, completely ignoring the actual position of the galaxies in the universe." Michael replied.

"But did you know that there is a pattern to the arrangement of these stargates?" Wen Zhong asked with a smile.

"Maybe it's the limitation of distance, or maybe it's the need for order, those great ancient beings used the stargate to make the galaxy into a network of underground rail lines like the old days! Line 1, Line 4, Line 6, and they are not connected to each other, but in certain galaxies, they can be transferred between lines! Wen Zhong said in surprise. Seeing that Michael still did not seem to understand, he was not in a hurry, but took a holographic board from the placket of his robe and placed it on the only fern rattan wood table in the cottage.

His fingers swiped on the holographic board, and the blue light and shadow in the holographic board fluctuated, and in the narrow space in the grass house, a huge and three-dimensional brilliant Milky Way was suddenly outlined.

"This is our home, a boat in the boundless ocean of the universe, our shelter in the stormy seas." Wen Zhong walked with his arms behind his back as he paced through the blue Milky Way star map.

"She's divided into two spiral arms, which you're no stranger to." Wen Zhong pointed to a part of the stars that slowly rotated around the core. "According to the information left on the cyber starship, this one is called the Perseus Arm, and the one we are in is called the Centaur Arm."

"Most of the galaxies we know of, the vast majority of which have two gates, and we can call them 'platforms', connecting the upper and lower branches, and serving as a link to the entire spiral arm transportation network. But there are also those with only one stargate, such as Zoroaster, and we have the right to call it 'the terminus'. He used the analogy of the old underground transportation network.

"There are very few galaxies with more than two gates, the most famous being the Neld system of the Unites and Freir of the Kander, each with several branching spiral arms, and some of the largest human colonies are located there. The Transit Stargate is the only way to get there, unless, of course, you're willing to spend hundreds or thousands of years on the road. Wen Zhong explained quite patiently.

"But it's a pity that the original cyber people didn't get us on the right path." He said regretfully. "You see, all of our known galaxies are actually located on one of the branch's spiral arms, and the gateway to the centaur main spiral arm is here." Wen Zhong's finger pointed to a dense nebula in the star map.

"Bald Galaxy......" Michael had roughly understood Wen Zhong's meaning at this time.

Wen Zhong nodded to him and smiled, "For hundreds of years, astronomers have been trying to figure out the connection between the Star Gate Star Chart and the real Star Map, and when they learned the truth, they found that the myriad worlds we were in were less than a quarter of the size of this galactic giant ship. He spread out his arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a helpless expression.

Therefore, during the initial establishment of the Yinmeng, the Military Commission was in accordance with the then chairman of the Yinmeng, Furlan Brown. At the behest of Chase he carried out the covert Operation Centaur. They built dozens of exploration ships that were more advanced than the Shadowless Polarized Battleships using the light-absorbing material unique to the Hermes moon, and later succeeded in discovering two stargates in the Bald system, which had been blocked by the Walkens. In order to pass through them smoothly, the Military Council even launched a secret operation to pretend to be colonized. ”

"Amphion Colonial Conflict......" Michael couldn't help but bite his lip tightly when he heard this, he had read reports about this incident, and the Walken people sent a fleet to expel the Silver Alliance ships from the country without any suspense. When hundreds of colonists suffocated in space after a terrible collision with a human colony ship, the Silver Alliance shifted the blame to Bald's side, and the two clans engaged in more than a dozen skirmishes on the border over the years.

If, according to Wen Zhong now, the colonization of Amphion was not a dereliction of duty on the part of the Development Committee, but a military operation authorized by the chairman of the Interbank Alliance! So when it comes to that accident, it's probably the same as Tom. The Holland space station, like that, is a conspiracy that is extremely scary!

"Exactly." Wen Zhong nodded at this time. "That operation succeeded in diverting the attention of the Walken people, allowing all the probes to pass through the two gates. Unmanned probes have been passing through hundreds of stargates for decades, mapping the vast majority of galaxies in the Centaur Spiral Arm through decades of exploration, and sending us shocking discoveries every once in a while through ultra-long-range particle arrays. ”

"Any idea what that means? Haydn? Wen Zhong asked Michael in the galaxy in front of him, but the latter, who was immersed in horror, was speechless.

"It can accommodate trillions of colonies, can give birth to a huge civilization, inexhaustible resources, and inexhaustible energy. At our current scale, we could build a fleet a thousand times larger than we do today, and we could extend strategic depth beyond the galaxy! Wen Zhong said with some excitement.
