I take the earth to wander

In the empty space outside the river, a tiny small spacecraft is constantly flying in the form of space jumps.

The distance of each jump is around 100,000 light-years. Sometimes when encountering areas with wrinkles in the space itself, the jump distance will increase, even reaching hundreds of thousands of light-years.

Under such circumstances, every time the Skylark jumps, it will leave a river system behind. Sometimes it will just jump into a certain river system, but the next jump will leave this river system behind again.

It never stays in a certain river system for a long time.

Under the glimmer of light, there are some river systems with strong enough civilizations, and the god-level civilizations in the period will be aware of the existence of the Skylark in an instant.

But then the Skylark disappeared, leaving these civilizations with no way to start or investigate. After all, the universe is too big. Even humans cannot spread their names to all corners. After all, there are still many Civilization does not know the existence of human beings.

Just like this, the Skylark gradually approached the boundary of the universe.

However, 40 billion light years is too far after all, and the universe is still expanding.

As the universe expands, the closer you get to the edge of the universe, the wider the empty areas between river systems will become.

The distance between each river system will also be greater.

As we get closer to the edge of the universe, the distance between river systems has widened to the point where it takes at least hundreds of thousands of light years.

Farther distances may even take hundreds of thousands of light years.

And the interior of each river system has become more loose.

This is also because of the expansion of the universe, which makes the distances between galaxies within the galaxy farther.

For example, in the past, the solar system in the Milky Way was only 4.3 light-years away from the nearest Proxima Centauri galaxy. However, here near the edge of the universe, the distance between galaxies at similar locations in the galaxy is at least a dozen light-years or even dozens of years away. Light years.

This is a good thing for civilization, but it is also a bad thing.

The good thing is that the farther distance between galaxies makes it more difficult to reach neighboring galaxies by interstellar voyage, then new civilizations will be less disturbed by civilizations in neighboring galaxies.

The bad thing is that it is more difficult for civilization to conduct interstellar navigation. After a civilization develops to a certain level, it will be more difficult to develop upward because it is difficult to reach nearby galaxies, obtain sufficient resources, and communicate with neighboring galaxies. the development of civilizational exchanges.

In the year 11592 of the sailing calendar, after nearly twenty years of sailing, the Skylark finally crossed a distance of 40 billion light-years and began to approach the edge of the universe.

This navigation distance was unprecedentedly far for Lin Xu and his party.

As we get closer to the edge of the universe, we see more and more civilizational ruins along the way.

This is the place where the universe first expanded, and it is also the area where civilization was first born. It is normal to have a large number of civilization relics.

However, what is abnormal is that as they get closer and closer to the edge of the universe, many of these ruined civilization ruins have found signs that are suspected to be related to humans, and they look like they were destroyed by humans.

It would be fine if there were just one or two, but along the way, Lin Xu and his party saw countless similar civilizations destroyed by humans.

As a result, Lin Xu has not been on the earth recently, but has been permanently stationed on the Skylark, just to confirm whether there are traces of human beings on them when new civilization ruins are discovered, and whether they have been destroyed by humans.

Wherever Lin Xu is, Nan Zhu and Mu Xiyue will naturally be there too.

Even Lu Yao, who was studying questions in the library, was attracted and followed him to read it.

Unfortunately, so far, no reason has been found for why humans want to destroy these civilizations, and it seems more like there is no reason.

This made Lin Xu full of confusion.

"Lord Lin Xu, new ruins were discovered ahead, suspected to have been destroyed by nanorobots." The Skylark left the jump channel and was preparing to start the next jump. Nanzhu reported the latest discoveries in this area.

"What level of civilization?" Lin Xu asked.

"Suspected of a god-level civilization." Nanzhu replied while checking the Skylark's reconnaissance signal.

"Wait a minute, god-level civilization?" Lin Xu said immediately.

Suddenly, the space jump channel had been opened again, and the Skylark, which was planning to jump again, stopped after leaving this river system.

While maintaining the space jump channel ahead, he waited for Lin Xu's next order.

"Yes, it is suspected to be a god-level civilization." Nan Zhu confirmed.

So Lin Xu pondered.

The destroyed civilizations encountered before were basically high-level civilizations. Lin Xu also made several checks, but found no problems, or the reason why these civilizations led to the destruction of mankind.

This is the first time that a god-level civilization has been destroyed by humans.

Moreover, it is getting closer and closer to the edge of the universe. Lin Xu instinctively feels that the destruction of these civilizations by humans should have something to do with the edge of the universe, otherwise humans would not do this.

"Change the course and let's go check it out." Lin Xu decided.

"Understood, change course and head to the nearest ruins." The voice of Yinghuo on duty sounded from the Skylark.

The next moment, the space jump channel in front of the Skylark changed the location of the upcoming jump. It was no longer another river system one hundred thousand light-years away, but was detected by the hyperspace radar close at hand, thousands of light-years away. Where the exception lies.

Immediately, the Skylark entered the space jump channel, and when it reappeared, it had arrived on a completely ruined river system.

That's right, it's the ruined river system.

A small half of the river system within sight has been completely reduced to ruins.

Countless billions of stars have been destroyed, and planetary ruins, far more than the number of stars, are spread over half of the river system and within tens of thousands of light-years.

This is a real river system of ruins. It is the first sight Lin Xu has seen after traveling so far from the solar system to the edge of the universe.

"This area is too big. How many god-level civilizations were at war with humans in the first place?" Nan Zhu lay on the porthole and looked at the endless ruins, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Judging from the remaining energy reactions and the equipment fragments on the battlefield, the opponent should have only one god-level civilization." Lin Xu replied.

"There is only one god-level civilization? Can it fight like this with humans?" Nan Zhu asked in confusion.

Not only Nanzhu was puzzled, but the others were also puzzled. Only Arisa had a different opinion.

"You underestimate the god-level civilization too much. Was it so easy to destroy the Karamar people before, which gave you the illusion that the god-level civilization is easy to bully?" Arisa asked.

"Isn't it?" Nan Zhu asked doubtfully.

"You think the god-level civilization is easy to deal with because the humans who ascended to the dimension are too strong and can easily crush the Kramar people, making the Kramar people unable to even resist."

"But the human beings who fought against this god-level civilization here have not yet ascended the dimension! Although the humans back then should have easily destroyed this god-level civilization, they obviously have not yet controlled the scale of the war to a certain extent. In other words, that god-level civilization can still struggle to the death. Therefore, it is inevitable that their death struggle will spread to the entire river system on a large scale." Arisa explained.

"The explanation is simple and easy to understand, I understand." Nan Zhu gave Arisa a thumbs up to express her approval.

Arisa immediately turned her head away, showing disdain, but in fact everyone could see that she was just being arrogant.

"By the way, in a normal war between two god-level civilizations, it is very easy to destroy several river systems. The scale of the war is even more protracted. It may last tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. . So it is incredible to be able to completely wipe out a god-level civilization in a short period of time while only destroying half of the river system." Arisa thought for a while and added.

"I understand, but what did this god-level civilization do back then to cause the human race to be wiped out? The higher civilizations we encountered along the way, and even some civilizations that did not leave the planet, were also wiped out by humans. Oh, what's going on?" Nan Zhu was still confused.

"Yes, killing civilizations at will is not the way humans behave. Did those civilizations do something?" Lu Yao also wondered.

"But what kind of civilization that has not yet left the planet can do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, so that humans can simply exterminate it?" Arisa also wondered.

Even Arisa couldn't solve the doubts this time.

Several people looked at Lin Xu together, but unfortunately Lin Xu was also confused.

So the next moment, the portable space outside the Skylark opened, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out from Lin Xu's portable space, heading towards the battlefield that destroyed half of the river system and hundreds of millions of stars.

A large number of star fragments and planet fragments are scattered in every corner of the battlefield.

It was also mixed with a large number of nano-robots, broken parts of autonomous mechanical aggregates, and war machine fragments of god-level civilizations that numbered hundreds to a thousand times more.

Even after so many years, the weapon fragments left by the god-level civilization on the battlefield are still as clean as new. From this, we can see that the technical level of this god-level civilization is worthy of the level of a god-level civilization.

Any fragment here, if it falls into the hands of a higher civilization, will probably become a priceless treasure, enough for that higher civilization to study for thousands of years.

But here they are everywhere, covering every corner within tens of thousands of light years.

Lin Xu released a large amount of autonomous mechanical aggregates, but spread over a range of tens of thousands of light-years, these autonomous mechanical aggregates appeared to be extremely rare.

Lin Xu, who once thought that he had enough autonomous mechanical aggregates, suddenly realized that he was still too naive.

So he decided that the factories on the earth could not stop and must continue to produce more autonomous mechanical aggregates.

Countless autonomous mechanical aggregates directly opened the space jump channel and jumped to every corner of the tens of thousands of light-year ruins to conduct reconnaissance and analysis of the entire battlefield.

Finally, it was determined that this god-level civilization was indeed destroyed by humans. Before this god-level civilization was destroyed, it seemed that it was unwilling to detonate many ultimate weapons. Although it did not cause much harm to humans, it caused this Hundreds of millions of stars in the star field were destroyed.

However, the reason why humans destroyed this god-level civilization has not been investigated after all.

The autonomous mechanical aggregate released nanorobots and searched all the storage systems on the remaining weapon fragments of these god-level civilizations. It only found some information about the god-level civilization itself, such as the mother planet of this god-level civilization and the most elite Colonial planets, within this destroyed star field, were also destroyed along with hundreds of millions of stars.

However, no reason was found for the conflict between divine civilization and human beings.

Even the autonomous mechanical aggregate controlled the remaining nanorobots on the battlefield and wanted to extract the battle information from those nanorobots.

Unfortunately, what was found were only partial images of the fierce battles on the battlefield during the war, and there was no content at all that related to the reasons for the war.

In the end, even Lin Xu could only temporarily withdraw the autonomous mechanical aggregate, because searching for a needle in a haystack would yield no results.

However, just as the autonomous mechanical aggregates were being withdrawn, some of them suddenly detected signals that were still running on the battlefield.

However, the communication method of this signal is a bit backward, and it does not seem to belong to the destroyed god-level civilization.

"Go over and take a look." No matter what, this is a breakthrough, Lin Xu ordered with renewed energy.

So a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates returned, but some of them went towards the location where the signal was sent.

Finally, a small group of spaceships were discovered on the edge of the tens of thousands of light-years, carefully exploring the ruins of the battlefield.

Judging from the results of remote detection by autonomous mechanical aggregates, the civilization level to which these spacecraft belong should be considered very powerful among the massive civilizations in the universe.

In fact, more than 90% of the massive civilizations in the universe are still trapped within the planet. Only a small number of them can get out of the planet and become recognized interstellar civilizations, even if they are only low-level civilizations in the universe, but after all It is also an interstellar civilization.

The civilization in front of us has obviously crossed the threshold of low civilization and reached the level of high civilization.

Because this civilization's spaceship is obviously equipped with a curvature engine.

Although this curvature engine should be only two to three times the speed of light according to the detection of autonomous mechanical aggregates, it is still a fully advanced interstellar civilization.

Only compared to the human and god-level civilizations on both sides of the ruins of the battlefield, such a high-level civilization appears to be very weak. But in fact, in the universe, such a high-level civilization is already beyond the reach of many low-level civilizations.

Boom, a spaceship that was exploring the edge of the ruins accidentally touched the undetonated anti-matter bomb of the god-level civilization. In an instant, several spaceships equipped with curvature engines dissipated into the universe with the explosion.

This caused a period of confusion in the rear fleet, but after calming down, the rear fleet continued to send spaceships to continue exploring the ruins.

Because compared to these losses, the technology in the ruins that far exceeded their imagination was too tempting.

"Sir Commander, we have lost thirteen spaceships in a row. Such losses have exceeded our ability to bear."

"But the rest of our spaceships have been filled with special metals from the ruins. We have even obtained relatively intact fragments of the ruins. Such gains far outweigh the losses."

"However, the officers and soldiers are almost unable to bear such losses. People in the fleet are panicked. No one wants their own spacecraft to become the next one to explore the path."

"If they can't bear this loss for the sake of the empire, are they still soldiers of the empire?"

The aloof Commander, with his eyes full of fanaticism, was almost, almost, able to get the still intact weapon. If he could bring that weapon back, he would definitely be commended by His Majesty the Emperor. .

Compared with this, the losses of some spacecraft and some personnel are completely acceptable.

As for the complaints of the soldiers, he didn't take it to heart at all.

They are just some low-class people who are afraid of death. For an imperial noble like him, how can he ever care about the life and death of civilian soldiers.

The nanorobots that penetrated into the spacecraft quietly observed all this and passed the signal to the Skylark on the other side of the ruins of the battlefield 10,000 light-years away.

"It's Chinese!" Nan Zhu was surprised that Chinese was also spoken here.

"Speaking in Chinese." Mu Xiyue confirmed that she was indeed speaking in Chinese. There was nothing surprising about this.

"With their curvature navigation technology, the home planet of civilization should not be far away. Let's look for it." Lin Xu ordered.

However, with a sailing speed of two or three times the speed of light, according to general rules, the distance from the mother star should not exceed a hundred light years.

Sure enough, the autonomous mechanical aggregate soon found the home planet of the fleet.

A galaxy fifty light years away from the edge of the ruins.

In addition, there are two galaxies with intelligent life responses in places of more than 30 light-years and more than 60 light-years respectively. However, according to the calculations of the autonomous mechanical aggregate, those two galaxies should be just colonies.

In that galaxy only fifty light-years away, there is not only a large number of intelligent life, but also the reaction of the unique curvature compression production line of the curvature engine factory. Moreover, this galaxy is also far more prosperous than the other two galaxies, and all planets are It has been developed very maturely.

"Do you think this civilization knows anything?" Lin Xu was a little hesitant about whether to waste time and take a look.

Because normally, although this civilization can be regarded as an advanced civilization, it is obviously not qualified to get involved in the affairs between humans and god-level civilizations, so even if it is investigated, it is probably a waste of time and there is no possibility of any results. .

"How about forget it? This civilization is too weak. They may not have even heard of humans. Who knows why humans want to destroy so many civilizations." Nan Zhu did not recommend going.

"I don't think it makes any sense either." Lu Yao also said.

But soon, after the nanorobots transmitted back by the autonomous mechanical aggregates invaded the system hosts of the curvature spacecraft, the information obtained caused several people to immediately change their attention.

There is nothing special to pay attention to in the information. It basically records some routes and some basic information about this civilization.

But above the message titled Emperor's Order, the first one at the top was clearly written.

"The day mankind returns, the universe will be destroyed!"

"Damn it, I guessed wrong, they know about humans!" Nan Zhu immediately cursed.

"No, they don't know, maybe only their emperor knows." Lu Yao shook her head and said.

"There is no information about humans in the server, only the emperor's instructions. Maybe the soldiers don't know, but the higher-ups know." Nan Zhu touched his chin and guessed.

"What exactly is going on, we can find out if we arrest him and ask him for details." Lin Xu decided more simply.
