Chapter 18: The Expansion of Interstellar Speed

Dinah, or Asuka Kazuma, had been wandering in the universe for so long that he had forgotten the exact time.

Due to the difference in time and space, as well as the heroic character of Asuka Kazuma, his figure has appeared on many planets, and has also left his own legend in many civilizations.

However, Asuka never lost sight of his goal - to return to Earth.

By comparing the coordinates of countless galaxies, Asuka Kazuma is getting closer and closer to the known universe in human cognition.

It was also during this process that Asuka was surprised to discover that the closer he got to the position of the Milky Way, the more civilizations he encountered.

This is obviously not normal.

In the vast universe, the birth of living beings requires miracles, and the creatures that can give birth to civilization are even more miracles among miracles.

In order to figure out this miraculous phenomenon, Asuka Kazuma decides to infiltrate these civilizations and find out what is really going on.

Then Asuka was stunned to find that it was not that he had encountered more and more civilizations, but that the civilizations of the entire galaxy were communicating more and more frequently.

The vast majority of the civilizations he had encountered before, except for a very small number of natives on the planet, were branches of the major civilizations in the galaxy.

When did faster-than-light flight become popular in the Milky Way?】 】

This is Asuka Kazuma's instinctive first reaction after figuring out the truth.

Only true faster-than-light travel is capable of allowing civilizations across the galaxy to communicate so frequently.

Only true faster-than-light flight can make the footprints of intelligent beings appear on those remote planets.

But in this way, new problems have arisen.

Faster-than-light flight is only the first barrier to becoming a cosmic civilization.

How did those small civilizations that didn't even go out of the galaxy manage to run around the galaxy?

Not to mention those small civilizations, even miracle civilizations that have really touched the apex of the rules of the universe dare not guarantee that they will be able to cross the entire galaxy in a short period of time.

This has nothing to do with whether or not you have the technology to fly faster than the speed of light, it is purely a matter of survey and positioning of the star path.

Asuka Kazuma, who has been lost in the universe for thousands of years, is deeply touched by this.

In this vast universe, the sea of complex changes is much more vast than the sea.

Without an accurate interstellar route, the average civilized spaceship rushing out of the star system is about the same as losing contact with the parent star.

Even if you have a fixed star route, in the sea of stars that is changing at this moment, you may not be able to guarantee that you will not deviate.

So, with such curiosity, Asuka Kazuma began to study this problem in earnest.

It didn't take much effort, and Asuka Kazuma soon discovered the existence of the "Star Gate".

Of course, this is not how strong Asuka is in terms of infiltration and espionage capabilities.

Simply because the "stargate" is so openly placed in the transit station outside the galaxy.

It must be mentioned here that Lu Xuan built the "Interstellar Highway" in order to strengthen the connection between various civilizations and promote the prosperity of the entire universe.

As a result, the stargates that connect the galaxies are not built within the systems of intelligent civilizations.

At the edge of the home galaxy of each cosmic civilization is the true location of the stargate.

It was a super-large space station built around a wandering star.

The huge space station wraps almost the entire star tightly and draws a steady stream of energy from it to sustain its existence.

Thanks to the use of large-scale subspace technology, the gravitational pull of stars is firmly confined to the interior of the space station, making it impossible to form true star systems.

Those spaceships that enter these gates do not have to worry about being captured by the gravitational pull of the stars and crashing.

"Is this the Stargate?"

Led by a strange-looking cosmic man.

Asuka Kazuma, who has reverted to his human form, lands at the entrance to a supermassive space station built around a star.

"It's not a stargate, it's just a 'dockyard' for guidance."

It's as if it's confirming the words of the cosmic man.

With the opening of the dock, hundreds of flying machines began to enter and exit, showing a prosperous and lively scene.

"So, are you Lacesta maintainers of the Stargate?"

He made no secret of the look of wonder in his eyes.

It was the first time that Asuka had been wandering in the universe for so long, and it was the first time that so many civilizations had come together without any strife.

"That's nature!"

Patting his chest proudly, the Lacesta said in a tone of shared honor and disgrace.

"Who else in the entire universe can communicate effectively with all the intelligent races except us Lacestas?"

The Lassesta Star Man, also known as the Glass-colored Cosmic Man.

They are an extremely special race, possessing the special ability to assimilate almost all life.

This is an imitation, convergent evolutionary ability that allows the Lassestas to transform into beings on other planets, while retaining all of their abilities.

Coupled with the strong telepathic abilities of the Lacesta themselves, they are simply the best choice to act as diplomatic and espionage officers.

If you want to say the only flaw, I'm afraid that this ability to imitate and transform is too powerful.

Once transformed into a life form that has lasted more than five cycles on Rosestan, the Lacestan will completely become that creature, and will never be able to revert back to its original form.

"Aren't you afraid of them making trouble?"

With a little confusion, Asuka Kazuma pointed to a flying machine that was clearly equipped with powerful weapons.

According to Asuka Ima's understanding of cosmic civilization, the armament carried on that aircraft is most likely a planetary-level electronic cannon.

This powerful electronic cannon can directly decompose matter to the molecular level, which can be called a large killer in individual combat.

"Haha, do you think we're just a bunch of weak 'diplomats'?"

Bursting out laughing, the Rassesta turned to warn in a serious tone.

"Don't forget how I found you."

"Like you, we Lacesta have the ability to become gigantic."

"Our bodies can survive in a cosmic vacuum......"

"Our eyes can see the vast majority of high-energy bioenergy ......"

"Once our wings open, they will send us into faster-than-light flight through golden light particles."

"The most important thing is that we Lacesta are the guardians of the 'Star Gate'!"

"All the 'stargate' civilizations that promised to build know what it means to use weapons within the scope of the 'stargate'!"

"No civilization that has joined the Stargate construction project will foolishly come and provoke us."
