Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1042: Discovered and Left
The Neutron Battle Star had completed the repair of the Tianlya before it, but when the Shenju civilization learned that humans had completed the Tianlya, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere was slightly lessened.

After all, I was lucky enough not to be discovered by the Reaper.

The Shenju civilization, which has already understood the power of electronic warships, is not in a hurry this time. They plan to stay here and survive for a while as long as the Harvesters don't find them.

Of course, they are not trying to survive just for the sake of survival. They want to buy more time for development for themselves and human civilization.

The human flagship was built and the Neutron Battle Star was repaired, but the Shenju civilization still felt it was not enough. The reason was that humans had just stepped onto the sixth level of civilization, and the entire civilization had focused its energy on the construction of the flagship during this period of time. In other words, the only combat power that humans could show off was the Tianqin.

When possessing special technologies, it is definitely the special technological creations that determine the outcome of the battle, but conventional combat power is not completely useless. It is the basis for logistical support and protecting the spark of civilization.

What's more, the so-called conventional combat power of human beings is no different from the special technology for other ordinary sixth-level civilizations. After all, is there any sixth-level civilization whose conventional combat power has super dodge ability?
Of course, this is actually a misunderstanding of the Shenju civilization about human consciousness linking equipment. It is true that humans have been able to create consciousness linking equipment to achieve third-person driving mode, but it is not as easy to produce as an assembly line.

The equipment is also very difficult to manufacture. Although it cannot be called a "spectacle", it still requires a lot of resources and time.

In the past 5,000 years, humans have only created less than 30,000 new sets. On average, only six new sets of equipment are produced each year. This is the productivity of an entire civilization, which is extremely low.

As for the dream machine, humans have never been able to create one. The control of third-person dreams depends entirely on the activation of the dream machine left behind by the awakener Huan.

It seems that this is indeed the unique technology of the Awakener.

It seems that if humans had not encountered the Awakeners and received the Dream Machine from them, the path to discovering their own talents might have been more tortuous. It’s not that it’s impossible to discover, because in the past five thousand years, there have been humans who have learned to control third-person dreams without the Dream Machine.

Technology can play an auxiliary role in human spiritual consciousness, but the entire process depends on one's own exploration.

The general process is actually similar to that achieved using a dream machine, where you first try to achieve lucid dreams, and then go deeper step by step.

Facts have proved that when technology in the field of spiritual consciousness advances to a certain level, probably when research results at the sixth level of civilization come out, humans can awaken the third-person driving mode through their own efforts, but the efficiency is relatively low.

According to data estimates, if there were no dream machines, the chance of humans awakening to control their own dreams and third-person dreamers would be around one in ten thousand.

Of course, this is just the result of probability calculations. In fact, every human being has that kind of talent.

But no matter what, this is one in a million.

In addition, during these five thousand years, because the Shenju civilization spared no resource investment, humanity's conventional warships have also been upgraded, the original star-class warships have all been replaced, and the construction of 30,000 sub-civilization-class warships equipped with consciousness linking devices is also nearing completion.

The size of a sub-civilization-class warship is not much different from that of a civilization-class warship, but its configuration is not as good as that of a civilization-class warship. The Daya civilization calls warships of this size superstellar-class warships, but their flagships also call themselves civilization-class warships.

The construction of most of these human warships was thanks to the civilizations affiliated with the Covenant. While human civilization was fully committed to building the Lyra, they packaged the construction of new ships to them to complete. Humans were only responsible for providing the production of some equipment that they could not understand, such as consciousness link equipment.

Among them, the Tianquan civilization played the greatest role. They could not compare with the Nair civilization in scientific research, but they performed well in the operation of specific creations. Many creations that humans did not have the time and energy to complete basically had the shadow of the Tianquan civilization. Of course, the design of the creation must have been made by humans.

For this reason, the aesthetics of the Tianquan civilization are extremely close to those of humans, and their own creation styles are very close to human aesthetics.

Another hundred years passed.

During this period, humans completed all debugging of the sub-civilization-class battleship Lyra, and the 30,000 warships equipped with consciousness linking devices were also declared completed.

Thirty thousand ships are certainly not enough, but the resources in the Shenju civilization's microcosm are not endless. It is already remarkable that they can support humans and Daya civilization to complete the upgrade of creations to the sixth level of civilization.

After all, the civilization-class and sub-civilization-class warships are really too large, and the Shenju civilization has invested a huge amount of money in them.

However, perhaps because they had been hit by electronic warships, the Shenju civilization still did not want humans and Daya civilization to go to the universe, and they wanted to wait a little longer.

However, the Reapers did not give them that much time.

This small universe was finally discovered, but it was not discovered by the Harvester through active exploration, but by chance.

A Reaper exploration fleet came to this star field, and then came here to repair a malfunctioning space cutting weapon. After that, they accidentally discovered the abnormality of the space here while testing the repaired space cutting weapon.

So after several subsequent tests, they finally confirmed that there was a hidden microcosm here.

It needs to be said that the microuniverse is not independent of the big universe. The big universe is everything. The microuniverse created by the sixth-level civilization is more like a large space nested in the big universe, just like a pocket universe, which is very similar to pockets, boxes and other things in daily life, and are all in the big universe.

It’s just that those pockets are usually transparent and invisible.

The actions of the Harvester exploration team were naturally discovered by the Shenju civilization, but the exploration fleet was used to doing this kind of thing and they were experienced. After they realized something was wrong, they had already sent some spaceships away with the news.

The remaining spaceships that continued to explore were unsurprisingly killed by the Shenju civilization fleet, but they were too late to catch up with the exploration spaceships that had left earlier.

The information of the microcosm has been exposed, and it is only a matter of time before the Reaper fleet and electronic warships arrive. Fortunately, this microcosm has also bought enough time for the three civilizations. Now that it has been abandoned, the Shenju civilization does not feel too sorry.

And once it made up its mind, the Shenju civilization did not hesitate at all and directly notified humans and Daya civilizations to pack up and leave the small universe immediately.

All the deployed equipment was retrieved at the first opportunity. It didn't take long before humans and the Daya civilization caught up with the Shenju civilization fleet, left the small universe that had sheltered the two civilizations for more than 5,000 years, and set foot on the vast sea of ​​stars again.
