"Lord Lin Xu, if you look at this report, some people actually speculate that human beings have ascended to the dimension." Nan Zhu was lying on the sofa and was flipping through the network information of the capital galaxy, and found an interesting report, so he pushed it to Lin Xu.

"Which media is guessing there brainlessly!" Lin Xu has already read all kinds of reports in the past few days, and it can only be said that the media in any era is like this, chasing after the wind and making things up.

"I think they also made it up, but it's amazing that the process of making it up has led to the right conclusion." Nan Candle's snow-white feet swayed, and the huge fox tail was also swaying from side to side.

"It's like a multiple-choice question, there's always one answer that's right, it's just right." Lin Xu shook his head, not caring at all.

"Master, there is a message from the capital star that the warship that has returned to the capital circle has arrived at the outer edge of the galaxy, and Dopple asks for our opinion." Miss Qiu sat in front of the quantum communication console, read the information she had just received, and reported to Lin Xu.

"Asking for an opinion? What else is there to ask about this, let the fleet get in quickly, we should also go. Lin Xu understood what Dopple meant.

It is nothing more than a sign of submission, if Lin Xu does not allow the fleet to enter the capital area, then the fleet will naturally not dare to enter.

However, Lin Xu didn't mean to occupy this place for a long time.

The reason why Lin Xu stayed here for a while was because he was worried that after he left, the capital galaxy would not even have a basic defense force now, and if someone took advantage of it, the entire galaxy alliance would be completely chaotic.

Therefore, before the garrison of the returning defense arrived, Lin Xu must continue to stay here.

Until now, when the defense fleet returned, Lin Xu could finally leave with confidence.

As for saying that Lai is not here to leave, there is no such thing as this.

"Send a message to Dopple, no, send a message to the council, and say we're gone, and we'll see no time later." Lin Xu thought for a while and said.

"Understood." Miss Qiu nodded, and then the message was sent.

"Is this leaving? I haven't had enough of it. "Nan Zhu feels a little regretful.

On the contrary, it was Mu Xiyue, who felt relieved.

Because these days, almost every day, Nan Zhu has to take her to go shopping with her.

She's been overwhelmed for a long time, and now she's finally gone.

"Don't you go shopping every day these days? I haven't had enough of it. I like it so much, I haven't seen you shopping every day on earth. Lin Xu was puzzled.

"Well, it's different! Although the cities on the earth are well maintained and prosperous, they are not popular after all. It's not like here, the streets are full of intelligent creatures of all races, and it's really lively. Nan Zhu thought for a moment and replied.

"It's hilarious, indeed." Lin Xu nodded, he admitted that on the empty earth, it was really too lacking in popularity.

After thinking about it, Lin Xu suddenly had an idea, but he had to wait until later.

Miss Qiu had already informed the news that the Skylark was leaving, and not only to leave the capital area, but also to leave this river system directly and go to another river system a million light years away.

The council that received the news, in a hurry, only felt pleasantly surprised.

If humanity does leave, it will be equivalent to the cloud hanging over their heads as well.

Although the restoration of the historical status of mankind and the restoration of the God-given seat and other things that have been carried out are irreversible, it is also a great good thing that there will be a less emperor in the future.

Of course, they now know that humans may come back at any time, so they will definitely think twice before doing anything in the future, and they will definitely not do things so desperately again.

And Dopple sent a request for video dialogue to the Skylark for the first time.

Lin Xu thought about it, and finally connected the communication, and in the blink of an eye, Dopple's holographic projection was projected on the floor of the cab.

"Lord Lin Xu, are you really leaving? Actually, you could have stayed a little longer. Dopple said.

Compared to the rest of the commentators who wanted Lin Xu to leave quickly, Dopple was probably the only one who sincerely hoped that Lin Xu would not leave so early.

After all, when he sat in the position of the chairman of the council, he originally relied on humans as his backers, so he naturally didn't want humans to leave.

"Everything that needs to be done is done, it's time to leave, and this time, in fact, thank you, it wouldn't have been so smooth without you." Lin Xu said sincerely.

After all, in many cases, an excellent leading party can save a lot of things.

"You're so polite, that's what I'm supposed to do." Dopple had a flattered expression on his face, and he didn't expect Lin Xu to thank him at all.

For a while, there was even a feeling that a soldier was dying for his confidant.

"That's it, goodbye." Lin Xu nodded, and then the communication was turned off.

Dopple over there wanted to say something, but it was too late.

Immediately after receiving a report, the picture of the Skylark being monitored all the time came.

At this time, a passage for spatial leap had opened in front of the Skylark.

The Skylark sailed into it and vanished.

When it reappeared, the Skylark was already a hundred light-years away.

The Skylark had been preparing for the jump for several days, just waiting for news of the fleet's return.

Now that the fleet of the Galaxy Alliance has returned, the Skylark naturally started the jump as soon as possible.

Immediately, the transition ended, and he successfully reached a hundred light years away.

At the same time, the jump channel in front of the Skylark began to form again, and the Skylark continued to extract the zero point energy of the vacuum, and quickly folded the space in the jump channel.

It wasn't until three days later that the transition was ready.

The Skylark sailed into it, once again completing the space leap of 100 light years.

At this time, Lin Xu had already returned to the earth, leaving only the Skylark still in the universe, constantly jumping.

This voyage is a million light years.

According to the information that Wang Jian handed to Lin Xu among the human relics before, the next destination of human beings was in a river system millions of light years away.

During this period, several river systems will be crossed, and if it weren't for Wang Jian's information, Lin Xu would not have been able to find the right direction under the needle in a haystack.

According to the current Skylark, it can jump 100 light-years every three days, and 12,000 light-years per year.

This distance of one million light years theoretically requires a continuous jump of eighty-three years, and if something happens in the middle, it may take even longer.

However, consider that when I first left the solar system, it took a thousand years to reach Proxima Centauri by driving the Earth, and every subsequent voyage was calculated in a hundred years.

If you think about the distance traveled at that time, it can be said that the current eighty-three years are already very fast.

It's just that recently, as the speed has gotten faster, it's rare to experience such a long voyage.

Lin Xu thought about it, and he was really a little emotional.

In this way, Lin Xu set sail in 11410 and started a voyage again.

The target is another river system millions of light-years away.

Not sure what to encounter again there.

But Lin Xu is full of expectations.

Time flies, eighty years go by in a flash.

Set sail for 11490 years, and Lin Xu has never been dormant over the years.

With more and more people around him, Lin Xu gradually no longer needed to sleep to fight the boundless loneliness.

For example, now, Lin Xu took Miss Qiu, Nan Candle and Mu Xiyue to sit in a hot pot restaurant on the top floor of a high-rise building in Chongqing, eating hot pot.

The store is full of people, lively, countless customers raise their glasses and drink, and the waiters who shuttle back and forth are about to fly.

And in such a lively atmosphere, Lin Xu looked down from the top floor and could see that the entire CQ City was brightly lit.

There is a constant flow of all kinds of vehicles on the street, and from time to time a whole road is blocked.

The roadside is densely packed with pedestrians and tourists, and from time to time they will fight with cars.

In short, it's a bustling metropolis, full of human fireworks.

Lin Xu put one hand on the windowsill and looked down, beside him was the voice of Nan Zhu who was making fun of Mu Xiyue from time to time.

Mu Xiyue didn't bother to take care of her, but glared at her from time to time as a threat, so Nan Zhu hurriedly restrained a little.

It's as if a few people are really just living on the earth in the 21st or 22nd century, and then going out for a hot pot together on the weekend.

But in fact, except for Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, and Nan Zhu beside Lin Xu, everything in the entire city is just a large-scale performance.

Millions of sapient robots, dressed in human form, are programmed to perform a grand drama.

It's just that although none of this is true, Lin Xu is still very satisfied.

At least it made him feel like he once was.

It was also Lin Xu's sudden thought after hearing Nan Zhu say that there was no popularity on the earth.

The company of Miss Qiu, Nan Candle, and Mu Xiyue around her, plus this lively city, even if it is played by robots who execute orders according to the program.

But when I think back to the past, for people living in the metropolis, people other than themselves, relatives and friends, don't they look like NPCs? There is no difference at all.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lu Yao, who had just stepped out of the elevator not far away, came to sit down next to a few people.

It's like a friend who used to party late.

Lu Yao still likes to read books and study science so much, so she keeps running to the library every day.

But he also found time to get together with Lin Xu and others, but he was often late.

"Gotta drink when you're late, come here and it's all yours." As she spoke, Nan Zhu beckoned to the waiter and dragged several cases of beer over.

"That's it? Who do you look down on! Lu Yao pursed her lips with a look of disdain.

"Don't worry, I added these beers to you." Nan Zhu smiled mysteriously.

In short, in the end, under the wine of Lu Yao and Nan Candle, the two of them still drank high.

When they finally left, it was Miss Qiu and Mu Xiyue, who carried one on their shoulders and took the two of them away.

Walking on the street, Lin Xu was in front, Miss Qiu and Mu Xiyue were behind, and one of them was carrying a beautiful girl on his shoulder.

If it were really on Earth in the 21st century now, someone would have called the police a long time ago.

But at this moment, the crowd of people on the street was as if they didn't see it, bypassing Lin Xu and the others, and continuing to do what they should do.

This is a trivial flaw.

And at this moment, a pedestrian passing by Lin Xu's side suddenly stopped and came to Lin Xu's side to speak.

But it was the voice of confusion.

"Master, the hyperspace radar has detected that a hundred light-years ahead, near the scheduled next jump point, there is a fleet of suspected intelligent beings sailing in curvature, do you need to change the direction of the jump?"

"Fleet of intelligent life? In the extra-river space? How fast are they? Where is this going? Lin Xu was a little strange.

"According to calculations, the speed is 50 times the speed of light, and it is suspected that it is from the river system of this target, and the destination should be the nearest river system 60,000 light-years away." Glitter replied.

"At only fifty times the speed of light, you dare to break into the space beyond the river? Is this looking for death? Lin Xu was surprised.

After 80 years of sailing, the Skylark is only 40,000 light-years away from its target river system.

If the fleet really came from the target river system, it means that they have traveled a distance of 40,000 light-years at fifty times the speed of light.

In other words, in this space outside the river, it took a full 800 years to sail.

This is not a river system with rich resources, but an empty space outside the river, how did they only rely on the materials stored in the fleet, how did they persist for these 800 years?

And they are still 60,000 light-years away from their destination, which means that they will continue to sail for 1,200 years.

This made Lin Xu suddenly think of the situation when the human race had just set sail 10,000 years ago.

It's just that at that time, it only took five hundred years for humans to arrive on Proxima Centauri, and they were able to encounter some meteorites and other supplementary supplies from time to time along the way.

But in this space beyond the river, there is really nothing.

And their total voyage is 2,000 years.

What the hell do you think? Or what prompted them to embark on a long voyage?

Lin Xu was full of doubts.

"Don't change the direction of the jump, let's take a look." Lin Xu ordered.

"Your will."

So three days later, the transition tunnel was folded, and the Skylark started the jump again.

A hundred light-years away, a huge fleet of ships was traveling at fifty times the speed of light, in the dark space outside the river.

Maybe it's because everything here is so empty and there's no danger.

Or the greatest danger is the emptiness itself.

As a result, the fleet consisted of a few smaller, faster reconnaissance ships, constantly patrolling around the fleet and serving as a vigilance.

The fleet itself is made up of huge ships with a size of tens of thousands of meters.

But these spaceships are obviously not warships, but more like civilian spaceships.

And there are very few weapons on the spacecraft, and more are life-support devices, which are used to support life after hibernation.

So, this is not really an armed fleet, but an emigrant fleet, even a very small armed emigrant fleet.

On one of the reconnaissance ships, a strange intelligent life with four arms as the captain is directing his crew to routinely survey the surrounding airspace to guard against possible dangers.

"Boss, if you want me to say that we don't have to do any probing at all, what can we have here? There is nothing, and the detector is meaningless except for consuming resources. ”

"Shut up for me, this is the operation process, if you don't want to do it, get out of here, I believe that some dormant people want to replace you."

The guy who was still complaining just now suddenly stopped talking.

This voyage was regarded by everyone in civilization as an almost impossible voyage.

Even if the voyage is successful, according to the calculations of intelligent computers, the population of the entire civilization will be reduced by more than ninety percent.

It can be said that ninety percent of the people, the moment they enter the dormant chamber of the expeditionary fleet and begin to sleep, it already means that they are dead.

In the end, less than one adult was able to recover after the voyage.

That's why the captain said that if a dormant person has the opportunity to wake up, no matter what work he does, he will definitely be willing.

However, even though the mortality rate of this voyage was so high, everyone still resolutely embarked on the voyage.

Because this is the only way to escape the Great Purge.

Even nine out of ten lives is better than an entire race being completely cleansed until it returns to the Stone Age.

"Damn cleaners, damn humans." Someone cursed quietly.

The person next to him continued to work as usual, deaf to this emotional swearing.

If the cleaners can be scolded to death after a few scoldings, then they are willing to scold every day.

It's a pity that if the cleaners had been scolded to death so easily, they wouldn't have had to sail so far to take refuge.

"Boss, why do you think the Cleaners are cleansing the universe? And why do the cleaners call themselves the second son of mankind! What is it really like to be human? Someone sighed and asked the question, to which no one knew the answer.

"Do your job well, the cleaners are crazy, don't speculate on what the madmen think." The captain glared again, for he didn't know either.

At this moment, suddenly the monitor in another position next to him jumped up like crazy.

"What are you doing, have you forgotten the operation process? Do you want to be forced to sleep? "The captain was angry, and he came over and planned to slap this guy.

But then, he looked at the screen in front of the man, and the whole person was stunned.

"This is, a suspected aircraft signal? It's a flying machine, why are there flying machines here? ”

"Boss, according to the operation process, now it's time to report it quickly." Someone next to him whispered.

Suddenly, the captain reacted.

"Quick, report, report directly to the regiment commander."

In this way, after layers of reporting, soon the top management of this long-distance immigration fleet knew the news that a spaceship had been found ahead.

"The ship is rapidly approaching us, about a thousand times the speed of light, and it will meet us soon."

"A thousand times the speed of light? This is impossible, theoretically the speed of the curvature engine can only reach a hundred times the speed of light. ”

"You also said that it is only theoretical, and we can't do it, just because it doesn't mean that higher-level civilizations can't do it."

"So, have we encountered a higher-level civilization?"

"A single spaceship sailing in the outer space of the river, this is not a higher level of civilization, what else can it be."

"So what are we going to do?"

"I think this could be an opportunity, he only has one ship, even if the civilization level is higher, if we can capture this ship, maybe after research, there will be a chance to increase the speed of our existing curvature engine."

"If we can increase the speed of the curvature engine, we will be able to reach the target river system faster."

"Ridiculous, how terrible is the hierarchical suppression between civilizations, a civilization that can increase the speed of the curvature engine to a thousand times the speed of light, even if it is only one ship, are you sure we can fight it? Even if it really can, won't the other party run? A thousand times the speed of light, can you catch up? ”

"But I missed it."

"Is there a way to trade ways to increase the speed of the curvature engine?"

"It's hard, it's hard!"

"You say, is the ship spotting us now?"

"I must have found out, didn't you see that he was flying at us? I even suspect that the other party's whereabouts were deliberately leaked and discovered by us, otherwise with the other party's civilization level, our radar may not be able to detect the other party. ”

"So, what is the purpose of the other party deliberately leaking his whereabouts and even finding us? In other words, what do we have that the other person needs? If we can perceive this, we may not be able to exchange anything. ”

"What does the other person need? I don't think we'll have what this level of civilization needs. ”

"We don't, but what about the Cleaners?" Someone suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.

"Washers? You mean the ones that we never understand from research, the Cleaner armor? However, in order to get this bit of armor, we sacrificed an entire fleet. And the technical content of the armor of the cleaners, which surpasses our countless generations, is handed over like this. ”

"But this armor doesn't mean anything to us now, we've been working on it for hundreds of years, and we still don't have a clue, if we can exchange it for something useful, especially curvature engine technology."

"If we can really switch to curvature engine technology, maybe our entire civilization will be alive."

For a while, the eyes of the high-level executives in the conference room lit up.

Everyone, you and I are discussing.

In the end, the chief who sat on the top made a decision.

"Since everyone agrees, let's try to see if we can use the Washer armor to get something out of the hands of this higher-level civilization! It would be nice to have technical information about the curvature engine, and even if it didn't, it would be better to be able to exchange it for some technology that would help us. At the same time, try not to conflict with each other, our civilization can no longer withstand any attrition. ”

When the chief spoke, his expression showed a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

In this way, an agreement was reached at the top.

The reconnaissance spacecraft, which first spotted the Skylark, also took action.
