Where the journey of 100 million years ends, where is the place where the wandering and returning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's almost there, it's almost there......

The dark, dead starry sky was empty, there was no light or sound, and only the most sensitive instruments could sense it from the faintest fluctuations in space: something had just swept faster than the speed of light across the far side of the space, heading into the distance.

The purple disc like fine porcelain was completely encased in a thin layer of space, and the curvature of time and space around it distorted in a supernatural way, taking it through this boundless ocean of space like waves crashing against it, and no resistance could stop its progress, and its destination was already ahead.

It's a name that terrifies many advanced civilizations in the universe, but what really scares them is not how brutal and vicious this civilization is, but a completely incomprehensible fear...... An incomprehensible way of thinking, an incommunicative pattern of feelings, and not even a single advanced civilization knows what the members of the Empty Saucer civilization look like. Before the birth of their civilization, these empty disks were already in their current form, and they traveled through the universe, not for the sake of destruction, but only for the sake of seeking the truth, constantly longing for all unknown knowledge.

Their behavior pattern is not like a simple machine, because every advanced civilization knows that only the soul evolved by the source spores can have the abstract ability of infinite quantum states, and it is impossible for a simple machine to develop a real civilization, but the behavior of the empty disk is not like a real life, no creature will act so mechanically, and there are almost no emotional fluctuations without any communication.

Perhaps, only those civilizations that are as old and powerful as the Aerial Saucer know what the civilization of the Aerial Disc is all about. The single strength of the ultimate civilization is not invincible, even ordinary high-level civilizations can destroy some lone empty disks, but they have never found out what the members of this civilization look like. The destroyed purple discs were filled with a viscous and strange liquid, and no passengers could be seen or a structure to be understood.

Occasionally, other ultimate civilizations ...... Those civilizations that are much easier to contact than the Aerial Disc, and even some equally ancient individual beings will reveal some brief information to them, but most of them are some unclear content, such as what you are in contact with is not the real Aerial Disc or the like, but what the real Aerial Disc refers to has always been an unsolved mystery.

Regardless of the situation with the other towing disks, at least this one is completely operated by an intelligent system, and although you can't find the familiar circuit system even if you disassemble it entirely, the autopilot system made of complex codes has been controlling the route. The long years of starry sky travel do not seem to have brought any wear and tear to this aerial dish, its surface is as smooth and immaculate as new, and it has not been stained with a trace of dust during the journey, nor is there any lack of energy.

However, at this time, even this theoretically emotionless intelligent system seems to have a hint of excitement...... Intelligent programs don't spontaneously generate emotions, but that doesn't stop writers from adding some emotion-mimicking code to them, and these extremely complex emotional codes give them the level to pass the Turing test.

The hundreds of millions of years of journey is coming to an end, and unlike the one that has been exploring its route in short-range space jumps, it has been calculated that the long-distance space hoppers that set off at the same time have reached the final rendezvous point about a hundred years ago, and the exploration forces that are gradually advancing like it will also arrive at the signal relay point one after another. Once at its destination, it was able to re-establish contact with the main fleet through the equipment there...... The drive was not really unscathed as it seemed, as a sudden spatial earthquake during the journey destroyed the quantum entanglement that established the telecommunication within it, and the communication system was paralyzed.

This is not a big problem, even with the level of operation of space technology in the towing dish, it cannot completely prevent the destruction of the fragile quantum link caused by natural space shocks. Not every kind of quantum communication device is like a signalon with strong adaptability and self-healing ability, this is a perfect masterpiece created by the direct evolution of the source spor, almost impossible to be artificially copied, and most of the artificially established quantum entanglement relationship is actually very unstable, perhaps through repeated technical means to stabilize this relationship, but in the face of space earthquakes, which directly act on the space shelf level fluctuations, they are still very fragile.

Of course, this is not too much of a problem for the drive, but after some logical comparison, the main system finally prioritized the commands to explore along the way before repairing the communication system, and it was patiently prepared to wait until it arrived at its destination to encode and synchronize the communication equipment...... The device itself is not damaged, but the way of quantum entanglement is destroyed, because once the quantum communication is observed, it will be destroyed in the original state, so it is theoretically uncrackable, and naturally it cannot be reversed, and it can only wait until it contacts other communication terminals for frequency replication. This is a closed copy of information, and the information contained inside is not exposed, so it does not interfere with the superposition.

The spatial leap intensified again, a faint silver halo covered the surface of the Empty Saucer, and even gradually obscured the original purple patterns, and its memory bank clearly recorded the shape of the destination of this trip, and also preserved a very detailed star map.

……

It's a huge sphere with a radius of thousands of kilometers, and you can't describe the color of its surface, because its surface is as smooth as a mirror and reflects the outside world, and you can't even make out it carefully in the starry sky from a distance, because the spherical mirror with full coverage completely obscures the existence of the sphere.

It's a starry sky structure that doesn't seem to have anything special, just like these saucer-shaped ships called Aerial Discs, just in the form of a standard geometry. Of course, most interstellar civilizations would still be capable of making something similar if it were just a giant spherical mirror, but when you adjust the perspective to the curvature of space or the gravitational wave map, you will realize how terrifying a monster hides behind this seemingly calm and comfortable image.

This is not a solid artificial star, in fact it is hollow inside...... The hollowness here does not mean that it has a chamber inside it, but that the object itself is a huge spherical shell, like the Dyson sphere that many civilizations make.

However, just looking at the radius of thousands of kilometers, it is obvious that it is not a Dyson sphere that encloses a star, because it is impossible to fit a star in size, but the vast gravitational fluctuations tell visitors what kind of monster is hidden here, and it has enough power to make the world tremble.

This is not a Dyson sphere that encloses a star, but a Dyson sphere that encloses a black hole. The frenzied force that was enough to distort time and space was encased in a hollow sphere as smooth as a mirror, and it seemed so calm.

In fact, black holes are not as completely incapacitated as many people think, and the drastic distortion of space-time makes the transition between mass and energy a breeze. When matter falls from the outside world into the interior of a rotating black hole, the intense rays ejected by the black hole have great energy, and this can be said to be a universal recycling station, it has only one criterion, that is, mass, and other properties do not care at all.

Of course, that is only the most basic application, with the degree of control of space technology by the civilization of the towing disk, they can use the distorted space-time field created by the black hole to continuously extract the space zero point energy, and extract the energy of every trace of quantum tide in the space structure, so as to create some kind of equipment that is almost a perpetual motion machine.

……

As the last space jump came to an end, the intelligent system once again confirmed that the destination data in the record was correct, and it was about to arrive at the black hole closure that was used as a base point of the starry sky, and then resolutely adjusted the curvature of the space on the surface and broke away from the space shelf.

The porcelain-like purple disc appeared in the starry sky with a silver glitter, but it was no longer the smooth mirror sphere in front of it, and when it saw that scene, even the intelligent system couldn't help but fall into a brief crash, and for the first time felt overwhelmed.

The black hole is liberated...... The orb that had sealed it had disappeared without a trace, and only the terrible gap that mercilessly devoured everything distorted the starlight behind it, and the only traces that could be found were some silver fragments drifting disorderly in the starry sky, which were obviously part of the original orb, and now reduced to cosmic garbage.

This place doesn't collapse on its own! The intelligent system quickly realized this, and even hundreds of millions of years would not allow this astral structure to collapse, then the only reason was human sabotage from the outside!

It's dangerous, you have to get out of here!

The Flying Disc quickly began to swirl in the starry sky, and the fluctuations in the curvature of the surface space became stronger again, and it had already abandoned its original plan and was ready to go to other base stations immediately, but it was too late.

Few people care about cosmic rays, although they are ubiquitous, they are too small, even civilizations that can only travel inside the star system can stop them, but just near the Aerial Dish, a cosmic ray that was originally not very conspicuous seems to suddenly have the ability to penetrate countless times magnification, and even pierce the dimensional isolation film on the surface of the Aerial Disc that is like a translucent curtain!

The next moment, after piercing the defense layer, this ray suddenly lost its terrifying penetration ability, but directly transformed into an incredible diffusion ability, and the tiny wound instantly spread in a way that completely violated normal logic, and the entire air disc was like a broken porcelain covered with countless cracks in an instant, and it burst directly.

……

It wasn't until a few minutes later that a strange fragment of the image appeared near the wreckage of the towing dish, which was supposed to look like a spaceship, but no matter how its image changed, only about 30% of it was observable at all times, and the structures fluctuated and appeared and disappeared, as if they were hallucinations.

A strange ray of light shone on the wreckage area of the Aerial Saucer, moving back and forth as if it was scanning, and then it seemed to suddenly discover something, and after a few seconds of stagnation, a dazzling silver light suddenly lit up in the originally empty space, and then countless strange debris appeared out of thin air...... If you look closely, these are the samples that this towing disc has collected over the years.

The vague and fluctuating landscape seems to have begun to spread, gradually enveloping the specimens and slowly turning them into similar fuzzy forms, and then gradually dissipating directly into the void in the vacuum.

The process continued until the looming beams scanned a silver orb in the clutter, as if they had found something, paused abruptly, and then engulfed it as well.

"There seems to be some unexpected gains in this operation......
