(Chapter 24) beyond the galaxy

Not long after, when Gu Fan arrived at the bridge, the spaceship was guided by the snow wind and began to make a short jump voyage ending at an unknown coordinate in the depths of the galaxy.

After crossing a distance of 0.57 light-years, as the battleship landed smoothly, as she had originally reported, there was indeed an abandoned structure from ancient times in the deep space at the bottom of the galaxy.

"A human stargate? How could it be in such an uninhabited location? ”

Looking at the gray monument-like building that appeared in view, there was no doubt that it was a Far Traveler Stargate that had been widely used by compatriots in the old days.

It can be linked to a stargate of the same type located within 15,000 light-years, and if successfully activated, it can send up to an entire fleet to the other end of the gate in a jump.

It was built away from the usual shipping routes, which is perhaps the main reason why it has survived to this day, rather than being dismantled into scrap by the wandering alien garbage guys.

Curiously, according to the ship's on-board star charts, this was once not human territory. Could it be that after entering the hibernation capsule, human sovereignty has ushered in a large-scale expansion?

Judging by the deliberate location of the stargate, this thing seems more like it was secretly installed in this barren edge galaxy, and it seems somewhat unreasonable to say that it would appear here anyway.

"Is there a way to reactivate it? I'm a little skeptical that this thing will ever work. ”

Hearing Gu Fan's inquiry, Xue Feng, who was sitting in front of the console, moved his gaze back to the stargate, while the scanner was constantly transmitting diagnostic data about the giant building.

"There are no obvious problems with the target other than the lack of energy, as long as the energy is injected, it can be activated at any time."

It's just a replenishment of energy, and it sounds like you can try it, after all, the current battleship has just experienced the replenishment of supplies, and there seems to be nothing wrong with a proper luxury, and the right is regarded as a lottery.

......

......

I don't know how long it took, as the sleeping stargate was awakened by a torrent of energy from the Queen of Glory.

Gradually, the gray monument began to change, gradually taking on the shape of a door frame, fortunately judging from the state of the passage of the stargate.

The other star gate connected to it seemed to be in an active state, which meant that Gu Fan and his party could go to the other end of the door at any time through the passage that had been built in front of them.

However, to be on the safe side, Gu Fan instructed Xue Feng to take the lead in sending a frigate to confirm the situation behind the door, after all, no one knew where this ghost thing was linked.

Now that the frigate has entered the passage, Gu Fan only needs to sit here and wait for the news to come back.

But at this moment, something strange happened......

After a brief period of disappearance, when the corvette's signal reappeared on the Glorious Queen's star chart, it was only seen that it was actually outside the galaxy, a position that should have been empty.

"It's ......"

Looking at the signal that did not exist in any galaxy, Gu Fan couldn't believe his eyes, and he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the ship's system.

In a moment, as the image data of the frigate's sensors was transmitted back to the battleship's computer, I saw that in the center of the screen was a space platform with an obvious human style.

It looked like a makeshift dwelling, but apart from this building, there was nothing left in the space behind the door, just a cold void with nothing.

As his gaze glanced at the star map on the side again, a possible conjecture suddenly appeared in Gu Fan's mind.

Could it be that this star gate in front of you is connected to an extragalactic field?

If this is the case, then it seems to explain this strange phenomenon, the space behind this stargate is not in the galaxy at all, but in the cosmic chasm beyond the galaxy.

Gu Fan still remembers that when he was still studying at the military academy, there has always been a hot question about what is beyond the Milky Way, although there are many images that can prove that there is also a gorgeous and colorful cosmic world outside the Milky Way.

According to the principle of light propagation, most of these captured images are historical images that have been transmitted over hundreds of thousands of years.

At that time, people were so confident and full of the spirit of exploration that in order to know the answer as soon as possible, countless scholars spontaneously started to study the civilization beyond the river.

There have even been a few private explorers who have tried to sail their ships across the deep-sea chasm that stretches between the Milky Way and extragalactic galaxies.

In order to find out the truth about this building, Gu Fan immediately ordered Xuefeng to send an engineering ship, loaded with a total of eighty-eight engineering servants and entered the opposite side along the star gate.

He'd drop the engineering servants into the space dwelling to see if he could find some useful information inside.

At this moment, Xue Feng, who only listened to the side, raised his own questions.

"Do you need to let the battleship into it, so that the progress of the investigation will be much faster."

And Gu Fan didn't even think about it, so he rejected such a suggestion.

"No, there's a certain amount of risk associated with that, and if something happens we're going to be stuck there."

......

It didn't take long for those engineering servants to land smoothly, and a carpet search was also carried out under Gu Fan's instructions.

Soon, one of the search teams found the terminal device of the residence in the lower cabin of the building, and after careful inspection, most of the information was in a relatively complete state.

According to the chronological order of the internal arrangement, Gu Fan extracted the earliest record and played it back.

[Fleet Record 003, Frog Jump Project.] 】

[The stargate has been built, and one of our reconnaissance teams has been traveling in the chasm for four months, and according to the plan, they should be close to the first rivet point, where they will build another stargate, so that our first foothold in the chasm will be completed. 】

[I believe that as long as you escape the range of the galaxy, you should be able to escape the entanglement of the curse.] 】

Curse? Hearing this word, Gu Fan was stunned at first, and then he quickly understood, what the other party was referring to was probably blight.

But it's a lot of fun......

It sounds like these people are trying to escape the blight by escaping the galaxy.

Just as Gu Fan was about to continue reading the next record, on the side, the servants who were carrying out the search mission seemed to have made a new discovery.
