Chapter 449 Successful Leap
After calculating the specific location coordinates of the source star civilization spark, the Civilization Administration Headquarters cooperated with the Intrepid to conduct a space transition test, which was already determined long ago.

Now that the position has been grasped, Mo will naturally not regret it temporarily.

What's more, Mo has a self-awareness, and he also understands that exploring the spark of Yuanxing civilization may be able to complete his missing information.

After all, neither of them was born in the current universe, so there should be some connection.

Seeing that Xu Lei said this, Mo was too embarrassed to refuse. After pondering for a while, his virtual energy figure nodded and said: "Then get ready to start, but if the test fails, I hope you will give up on starting the source star civilization fire." idea."

Xu Lei's face remained unchanged, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He is very clear about the fear.

This is because he was afraid that after failing the space jump test, he would rashly go to the outer reaches of the Milky Way to find the spark of civilization.

After all, he is also the sixth inspector personally appointed by the Civilization Administration Headquarters. If he falls outside by accident, it will also weaken the overall strength of the galaxy.

But he didn't expose it, he just replied indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger easily."

But also did not give a positive answer.

Not that he was too stubborn to take risks.

It is mainly related to the origin of the science and technology museum. If you want not to leave regrets in your life, you must go through this experience.

Of course, his answer is not perfunctory. If he is not sure, he will definitely not act rashly, even if the entire space warship project is in vain.

Just having said that, he himself is very confident in this test.

During the eight months of calculating the coordinates of the source star civilization spark coordinates, he conducted in-depth research on the Intrepid and the Civilization Administration Headquarters, and tried a simulation test using the Intrepid's brain, and the results were basically satisfactory. , with a higher success rate.

Relying on this information, it is almost impossible for the subsequent tests to go wrong.

Unless the model deliberately does not want the test to succeed.

And this probability is basically equal to zero.

After listening to Xu Lei's answer, Momo didn't know what was going on in her heart, but she didn't say much.

Then let Xu Lei return to the Intrepid.

As for him, he started the energy-gathering program at the headquarters and began to prepare for the charging of the Intrepid.

He chose to test the space transition after calculating the position coordinates of the source star civilization fire seed, just to avoid wasting energy, so Xu Lei must sit in the control hall of the Intrepid at this time.

As long as the space jump engine successfully opens the wormhole space channel, the Intrepid will enter with the blue space number.

……

"After preparing for such a long time, I can finally have a result today."

Driving the Golden Crow back to the Intrepid, Xu Lei immediately entered the core control hall, stood alone in front of the console, raised his eyes to examine the main screen showing the overall data of the battleship, and felt emotionally agitated.

The whole person is uncontrollably in high tension and excitement.

Even though he has lived most of his life and experienced countless bloody storms, it is still difficult to suppress his emotions at this moment.

After all, this matter is his biggest secret.

From the moment he became the owner of this mysterious science and technology museum, he was destined to change the future of human civilization.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Now the secret of the science and technology museum is about to reveal a corner of the mysterious veil to him, and his thirst for knowledge will finally be satisfied to the fullest.

History of Science and Technology Museum?

And who created it?

Why is there a collection of civilization technology exhibits from the entire universe?

I believe that these secrets will be answered with this trip to the outer reaches of the Milky Way.

He has this feeling.

He was sure.

With the rapid operation of thinking, a large number of thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Lei paused for more than ten seconds, and did not come back to his senses until his emotions gradually calmed down.

When the attention was refocused on the main screen, Xu Lei stopped delaying and immediately gave instructions to the brain.

"Check the performance of the whole ship."

"Prepare to start the space jump engine."

"checking……"

"The whole ship is normal."

"The space jump engine is starting..."

Brain's prompts sounded one after another in the control hall, and at the same time, the Intrepid, which had been immersed in the silver core for a long time, finally began to show its fangs.

From the outside, the space jump engine was activated smoothly.

And under the energy delivery of several antimatter power engines, a space ray was shot from the front of the Intrepid like last time.

Up to this point, the test process is basically the same as the last test on Titan. If there is no new external force injection, the wormhole space channel will still not be able to be successfully opened.

It ended in failure.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred at the tail of the Intrepid.

In the blink of an eye, a quadrangular pyramid was dented.

If you look carefully, you will find that the size of this quadrangular pyramid actually matches the bottom tip of the Civilization Administration Headquarters.

At the beginning of the design of the Intrepid, it was considered to use the energy of the Civilization Administration Headquarters. Naturally, the connection between the Intrepid and the Blue Space will be done well. In addition to ensuring that the energy does not escape during the transmission process, it can also prevent the energy from escaping in the wormhole space channel. The two battleships separated.

In case the two are separated, it is easy to encounter danger, not to mention, it is difficult for either party to return.

After all, without the space jump, they can only rely on the speed of the battleship to fly back to the Milky Way by themselves.

The difficulty factor can be imagined.

Otherwise, why would Xu Lei spend a lot of money researching space warships.

Since the entire Blue Space was under Mo's control, the inverted pyramid-style fortress left its original position almost at the moment the Intrepid was ready, and flew straight towards the Intrepid.

In the end, the two are closely combined.

Speaking of countless epochs, this is the first time that the headquarters of the Civilization Administration has moved.

And still docked with a warship.

It's no wonder that when Xu Lei first proposed this matter, Mo didn't want to agree.

The successful docking of the two most powerful warships in the galaxy also changed the overall shape of the Dreadnought.

If you look at it from a vertical perspective, it looks like a star destroyer is inserted into a pyramid.

It does look a little nondescript.

Of course, now is not the time to appreciate beautiful things. As long as the practicality can achieve the desired effect, it doesn't matter how it looks.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei's judgment is not wrong.

With the continuous delivery of advanced energy from the Civilization Administration Headquarters, the space ray finally began to expand in diameter, gradually forming a huge vacuum cylinder.

Just enough to meet the entry of Intrepid and Civilization Administration Headquarters.

Obviously this time the space transition test was a complete success.

At the same time, in the control hall of the Intrepid, finally, there was a new reminder from Zhinao.

"The wormhole space channel has been opened."

"Please enter the jump coordinates..."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly manually entered the coordinates of the star field about 140 million light-years away from the model.

Immediately lie down in the safe cabin in the control hall after finishing.

Space jumping is completely different from using a stargate, and in some ways more dangerous.

During the jump, if you don't enter the special safety cabin, you will most likely lose your life.

Especially for fragile human beings, this is a matter with a very high risk rate.

It is no exaggeration to say that the survival rate is very low.

That's why Xu Lei didn't take anyone there this time, but just installed some frigates and space combat robots in the belly of the Intrepid.

With the automatic closure of Xu Lei's safety cabin, the Intrepid was taken over by the Brain.

Proceed to the next step.

Speaking of which, with the physical strength of Xu Lei's eternal body, even if he didn't use the safety cabin, he wouldn't be affected too much, but he didn't want to gamble his life on this kind of thing.

In any case, this was his first experience of space transition.

One has to be cautious.

"Jump coordinates have been entered."

"All crew members, please enter the safety cabin immediately."

"The Intrepid will start a space jump in five seconds."

"5"

"4"

……

"2"

"1"

"In transition..."

Under the control of the brain, when the countdown displayed on the main screen ended, the Intrepid flew into the passage with the Civilization Administration Headquarters at the tail.

Almost at the same time as they disappeared, the entrance of the wormhole space was closed again because of no energy input.

If you don't check it with the detection equipment of advanced civilization, you will never know that there is a warship here that has made a space transition just now.

It is also worth mentioning that the Civilization Administration Headquarters left with Xu Lei and did not inform the other five inspectors. To put it bluntly, there was a sense of both eloping.

Of course, this is also out of my own consideration.

First of all, it is not an order from the headquarters, and several inspectors such as Wuma Louhong will basically not return to the headquarters.

Coupled with the many things they have to deal with, they will not know the departure of the Civilization Administration Headquarters.

On the contrary, if they were told that the Civilization Administration Headquarters was leaving the galaxy, they would inevitably feel worried. Once the news leaked out, it would actually cause the stability of the civilizations in the galaxy, and the situation would be even more dangerous by then.

As for the decision of the model, Xu Lei naturally has no objection.

Anyway, there is a space jump of the Intrepid, and if things go well, they can return to the Milky Way very soon.

-

In the safety cabin, Xu Lei was basically in a state of dormancy and deep sleep.

Only when the battleship leaves the transition, will he be actively awakened by the brain.

So he didn't know how long it had been.

In the empty and deserted Dauntless control hall, although there is no figure of a crew member, but from the constantly jumping screen on the console, it can be seen that Dreadnought is still in operation.

It runs stably under the control of the brain.

Did not crash during voyage in wormhole space.

I don't know how long ago.

Sudden.

Accompanied by a crisp alloy friction sound, the safety cabin located in the center of the control hall was automatically opened.

Then suddenly a figure sat up.

Looking at it carefully, the first thing that catches the eye is a face that even Bai Gu came to retreat three points. Even if he is wearing a simple blue uniform, it is still difficult to conceal his own noble temperament.

"This is... the transition is over?"

Xu Lei gradually regained consciousness, and after seeing that he had woken up from the safety cabin, he suddenly realized that the space jump of the Intrepid might have ended.

Otherwise he would not be awakened at this time.

Thinking of the final result of the leap, Xu Lei was so anxious that he would not delay.

Immediately get out of the safety cabin and walk to the front console.

At this time, the brain also seemed to have guessed what Xu Lei was thinking, and immediately sent a new reminder.

"This transition is over."

"The total distance of the transition is 20 light-years."

"what?"

"Only 20 light years?"

Hearing the data reported by Zhinao, Xu Lei immediately paused and frowned.

Unexpectedly, this space transition only reached a distance of 20 light-years.

But he quickly put away the loss again.

After all, with the current technological level of human civilization, it is not easy to successfully reproduce the space jump engine, and the performance will definitely be greatly reduced.

In addition, it is not relying on the dark matter power engine to drive the jump, so it is normal to only reach this distance.

At least it is much more powerful than Stargate.

The only regret is that, based on a space transition distance of 20 light-years, at least seven space transitions are required to successfully reach the coordinate position of the source star civilization fire seed calculated by the model.

Mainly every jump is a risk for the Dreadnought.

In particular, this will cause damage to the space jump engine.

If only two or three space transitions are performed, then even the replica version of the space transition engine can withstand it.

But if it is carried out seven times in a row, the risk level will show a straight-up trend, and the situation will become very dangerous.

But in the current situation, there is simply no better solution.

Things have progressed to this point, I can only take a risk and try, anyway, I can't go back at this time.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Lei quickly made a decision in his mind, and then he turned his attention to the main screen.

View the detailed data of the transition just now.

Judging from the real-time data of each component of the Intrepid given by Zhinao, this transition did not have much impact on the battleship. Obviously, the whole process was smooth.

But when he noticed the earth-star time displayed in the lower right corner of the main screen, his eyes widened.

"how is this possible?"

Suddenly, a lot of question marks appeared in my heart: "It's only been a quarter of an hour?"

It turned out that only a quarter of an hour had actually passed since the Intrepid's space transition test at the Silver Core, to the time he was awakened by the brain and came out of the safety cabin. So the actual transition may be an instant.

Much faster than the star gate.

Xu Lei naturally cannot understand the knowledge involved in this level, but it has a high-dimensional feeling.

It's like when the Intrepid made a space transition, it actually entered a high-dimensional space, so when it ended the transition and came out of the high-dimensional space, the time did not change much.

You must know that as the cheap owner of the science and technology museum, he is very clear about this feeling.

After all, the science and technology museum is a very special high-dimensional space.

There will be no passage of time.

It seems that it is always at a certain position in the progress bar, and it cannot be dragged to fast forward or rewind.

But if you think about it carefully, this is a good thing. At least it can greatly shorten the time of their trip to the outer reaches of the Milky Way and return to the Milky Way faster.

So for the time being, after keeping the matter about the space transition in his heart, Xu Lei asked the brain again: "How long will it take for the next space transition?"

"Three days."

The intellectual brain gives an accurate answer.

After each space jump, the battleship and the space jump engine must have a period of time to adjust their performance to the best state.

In addition, the headquarters of the Civilization Management Bureau also needs to re-gather energy, so it only takes a three-day cooling time.

Of course, for these special life forms with a long lifespan, they hardly felt anything after staying in the battleship for three days, and it passed quite quickly.

In addition, the cooling time is not fixed.

If it is the full version of the space jump engine collected in the Science and Technology Museum, and coupled with the dark matter power engine, it may only take a few hours of cooling time before the warship can make a space jump again.

But considering the situation of the Intrepid, Xu Lei still felt that there was no need to rush for the next few days.

After a little thought, he told his brain: "Let's put the next jump in ten days, we don't need to worry."

"Ok."

Zhinao doesn't have independent consciousness like Xingtong, as long as Xu Lei is under his command, it has the highest authority, and it naturally has no way to refuse.

At the same time as the answer, the instruction was recorded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice sound from beside him.

"You are very correct. We only have this chance, so we should be cautious."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei turned his head to look, and found that it was the virtual energy projection of the super intelligent brain model of the director of the Civilization Administration.

Right now, the Intrepid and the Blue Space are in a bonded state. As the galaxy's super brain, they can easily break through the defense of the Dreadnought's brain and come to the control hall.

Naturally, Xu Lei was not surprised by this scene, and replied calmly, "I'm just trying to avoid risks."

I don't know what I thought of, the virtual energy projection looked a bit complicated, and after a pause for a few seconds, I said again: "I really didn't expect you to be able to develop a space jump warship and successfully realize the jump. You must know that this is far beyond the current level of technology in the Milky Way.”

Models have their own independent consciousness.

When he calculated the coordinates of the source star civilization spark, he didn't think Xu Lei could find it at all.

After all, the distance between them is too far.

Even he couldn't give an answer due to the loss of data.

But Xu Lei relied on a third-level civilization in the solar system to build this Dreadnought in just a few years.

Although he still relied on the help of the Civilization Management Bureau in the end, Xu Lei's achievements in scientific research cannot be denied, and its value is simply unimaginable.

In fact, on the day when human civilization was born, it has been under his supervision.

It's just that he didn't interfere except for the necessary guidance.

Until he found that he could no longer count on this weak civilization.

According to the development of civilization under normal circumstances, it will take at least a hundred years for human beings to reach the first level of civilization, and gradually know the existence of the Civilization Administration and extraterrestrial civilizations.

But because of Xu Lei's existence, human civilization has reached the third level in a short period of time.

He knew very well that there was a secret hidden in Xu Lei, but he had no way of knowing it.

Later, I also wanted Xu Lei's influence on the solar system to gradually expand to the Milky Way, so he was specially appointed as the sixth inspector.

But even so, Xu Lei's performance still surprised him one after another.

Especially this space jump test.

Because if we continue to develop according to this trend, I believe that within a few years, a fourth-level civilization will be born in the Milky Way, and security will be even more secure by then.

When the perspective is enlarged to the entire universe, the Milky Way is not worth mentioning.

It is still possible to be invaded by a more powerful civilization.

Xu Lei didn't quite know Mo's true thoughts. Faced with this kind of praise, he had no choice but to echo: "It is a great surprise to me to be able to successfully realize the space transition, but if I can find the spark of civilization in Yuan Xing, maybe I can truly realize it." Improve our technical level, and even you, the director, may hope to retrieve the missing data."

He is not just talking nonsense. Judging from the information obtained so far, both the source star and the mold belong to the last universe.

Maybe there is a deeper relationship between the two.

Finding the spark of civilization left by the source star will naturally give you a deeper understanding of the situation in the previous universe.

And this model just replied casually.

"Hopefully."

But from the look on his face, it could be seen that he was also looking forward to it.

With the super intelligent brain that gave birth to self-awareness like this, Xu Lei would not be too boring, and the two sides kept talking for the next few days.

In this way, ten days passed in a flash.

Since the Intrepid was already ready for another space transition, after arriving at the time specified by Xu Lei, it was carried out step by step based on the previous experience.

However, it is worth mentioning that at this time, Mo proposed a new thing.

"I suggest that you send frigates to monitor the situation in the nearby star field every time before you make a space jump, and make sure that there are no warships from other civilizations. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous for us to be detected by outsiders as space fluctuations."

"Especially after several jumps, we will be farther and farther away from the Milky Way."

In the control hall of the Intrepid, Xu Lei, who was preparing for the second space transition, became active after hearing Mo's words.

There are definitely not a few powerful civilizations in the universe.

In the Andromeda galaxy, the neighbor of the Milky Way, there are civilizations whose strength far surpasses that of the solar system.

If the Intrepid is accidentally targeted by a passing civilized warship, there will indeed be a very big risk.

You must know that there are not many three-level civilized warships that can make space transitions.

What's more, neither the Intrepid nor the headquarters of the Civilization Management Bureau have combat effectiveness. If they are really surrounded by strange warships, let alone a space jump, they will not be able to escape.

Therefore, after careful consideration, in order to ensure that the target area 120 million light-years away can be reached smoothly, Xu Lei decisively followed Mo's suggestion, ordered Zhinao to open the left and right side compartments, and dispatched frigates to investigate the surrounding star field.

After confirming that there are no strange battleships, proceed to space jump.

Although adding this set of procedures will invisibly delay a lot of time, it is nothing compared to safety.

With the reminder of the super intelligent brain model, plus Xu Lei's caution, the next few space transitions were successfully completed, and the hull of the Intrepid was not greatly affected.

As the Intrepid continued to deepen, while gradually approaching the Andromeda Galaxy, it was about to reach the location of the source star civilization fire, and this made Xu Lei more cautious, for fear of encountering the warships of the Andromeda Galaxy.
