Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

In the vast Milky Way, about 40,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way, among the stars in the sky, an illusion-like change of light and shadow flashed past. After a blink of an eye, the place returned to calm.

If there happens to be a precision observation equipment of level 5 or level 6 civilization at this angle and monitors this direction, you will know that a fleet of level 5 civilization has just passed by.

Moreover, judging from the intensity of fluctuations, this fleet of a fifth-level civilization is quite large.

At this moment, under the state of super-light navigation, a total of more than 200 million spacecraft in the human fleet are moving rapidly at a speed of 74 times the speed of light.

Inside more than a million residential spaceships, trillions of people are still living their lives peacefully. Among the different types of spaceships such as industrial spaceships, battleships, scientific research spacecraft, space carriers, etc., people from various professions perform their duties, and everything is in order.

But standing in front of the porthole of Spaceship No. 1, looking at the vast galaxy outside the window, the head of Lu Xinghe, who was quietly lost in thought, knew that the calm was only on the surface. What is brewing under the calm is a turbulent undercurrent.

——Under the state of super-light navigation, originally nothing could be seen from the outside world, only darkness. Because there is almost no light transmitted during this process.

What Lu Xinghe saw at this moment was just a picture transformed by observation equipment.

At this moment, Lu Xinghe was extremely old. His body was thin, his hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled. Even walking is a bit shaky.

Even the unimaginably advanced biotechnology of the fifth-level civilization has lost its effect in the long passage of tens of thousands of years, and cannot further delay the aging of his body or change his physical condition.

Almost everyone in human civilization knows that Lu Xinghe will not live long.

Of course, even if he doesn't live long, including frequent short-term hibernation, the time he can still live is calculated in units of thousands of years.

Fortunately, Lu Xinghe's brain was not affected by physical aging. As time goes by, his brain becomes even more sophisticated, sharper and wiser.

The picture he saw at this moment was not a scene in the Milky Way, but a dim and small dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy.

During these years, whenever he had free time besides his busy work, he would always stand or sit in front of the real-time view of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, looking at this scene in a daze.

Of course, even the so-called real-time image is actually an image of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy more than 20,000 years ago. Because the distance between the two parties is so far, it will take more than 20,000 years for the light of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy to reach the Milky Way.

In the picture, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy has always looked the same for tens of thousands of years, and it seems that it has not changed at all. But Lu Xinghe can always look at it with interest, as if there is some strange beauty hidden in it.

"It has been more than 40,000 years since the head of state left..."

Lu Xinghe sighed silently in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, more than 40,000 years have passed. However, the scene of the moment when the head of state left was always in Lu Xinghe's mind as if it happened yesterday, vivid and clear in his mind.

Over the past 40,000 years, he has become accustomed to others calling him "the head of state". But in his heart, he was always used to using the term "head of state" to refer to another person.

Lu Xinghe knew that Liu Yuan was not the real name of the head of state. Lu Xinghe didn’t know what the head of state’s real name was.

Lu Xinghe only knew that the word "head of state" had always belonged to him alone. For him, "head of state" was no longer a title of position, but had truly become his name.

"For more than 40,000 years, if everything goes well, by now, the head of state, you should have arrived at the Canis Major dwarf galaxy, completed the detection of the formation process of macroscopic black holes, and have already embarked on the return journey."

But this is all just speculation.

Since the head of state left, human civilization has completely lost contact with the head of state. Everything after that, whether the head of state broke through the deep space oscillation monitoring network set up by the founder civilization, whether he really reached the Canis Major dwarf galaxy, whether he acted smoothly in it, whether he embarked on the return journey, or he had already disappeared in the vast universe. Lu Xinghe didn’t know anything about it.

The only thing he can do is to wait day after day while stabilizing the state of human civilization.

This long and endless wait, the day-to-day heavy work, and the various crises made him physically and mentally exhausted.

But he was still waiting silently.

“Führer, if you have handed civilization into my hands, I will definitely hand over a complete civilization back to your hands.

Until you come back, until the moment when civilization is returned to your hands, I will not close my eyes even if I die. "

Sighing slightly in his heart, Lu Xinghe reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the star map of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, left here, and returned to the office again.

There are still too many things for him to deal with.

"Führer, the comprehensive campaign against the 'New Faction' has begun to bear fruit. In the residential spaceship No. 60675, we found a gathering point for the core members of the New Faction and captured 89 core members of the New Faction. Further investigation showed that , there are 306 middle- and high-level officials with a rating of C1 or above in the government system who have become members of the new faction..."

The New Sect is an evil faction that appeared in human civilization more than ten thousand years ago. This faction believes that under the premise of a complete blockade of the founder's civilization, there is no hope for human civilization to advance to the sixth level civilization.

Hiding and escaping day after day will only make civilization fall into destruction under the erosion of long time.

The only way out is to return to the Silver Alliance. Only by returning to the Silver Alliance can we gain "new life".

To this end, human civilization can make contributions including but not limited to inviting the founder civilization to station troops, handing over all war criminals who originally decided to leave the Silver Alliance, and actively giving up core interests, such as handing over the social management system to the founder civilization supervision and fully implementing it within the civilization. Ideological education, complete abandonment of scientific and technological research and development, and so on.

The new school believes that if all this can be done, then human civilization may not be unable to seek forgiveness from the founder civilization and rejoin the Silver Alliance.

The long voyage of tens of thousands of years, and the hiding and concealment day after day, actually allowed the new sect to gain many fans in civilization.

From civilians to high-level government officials, there are believers who have been brainwashed by the new sect.

Even though Lu Xinghe cracked down hard, the new faction could not be stopped. Even now, some members of the new faction are already planning to contact the member civilizations of the Silver Alliance and proactively leak the coordinates of the human fleet.

Lu Xinghe's expression was calm and did not change at all.

"Arrest them all and continue to dig deeper. Sympathy and connivance for the new students are crimes against civilization and must be dealt with severely." The subordinate continued to report: "Yes. The second thing is that a recent ideological survey found that there is no need to insist on the current independence. The line has been shaken, and there is a trend of softening the neonatalist ideas.”

Lu Xinghe left no room for doubt: "If you are not resolute in your opposition, you are resolute in not opposing it. There cannot be any wavering in the new faction. There is no middle way.

All officials who failed to pass the ideological investigation will be transferred to other posts and will be strictly monitored in the future. "

"Yes."

The subordinate leaves. Soon, the second subordinate arrived.

"Head of State, recent social situation monitoring has found that various illegal god worship organizations have become rampant. We have stepped up our efforts to crack down, but we have not been able to put an end to it."

Lu Xinghe sighed slightly in his heart.

"Three-pronged approach. Severe crackdown, massive publicity, and building hope. Please give me a charter on how to do it."

Lu Xinghe gave the keynote, and his subordinate immediately said: "Yes."

Long-term escape and despair, people's mood will inevitably change accordingly. Under such circumstances, it is foreseeable that the phenomenon of worshiping illegal gods for spiritual sustenance will become rampant.

In this regard, Lu Xinghe didn't have any good solution except to build up hope through publicity as much as possible and give people spiritual support as much as possible.

After that, another subordinate arrived: "Head of State, through recent statistics, we found that people's attitudes towards doing things and social customs have changed somewhat compared to the past.

Many clubs began to emerge in each residential spaceship. People often went to these clubs to participate in some so-called 'light' activities. Specifically, they confided secrets without reservation, stayed together in group activities, etc. "

Overall, this isn't a serious issue, but it's still worthy of concern.

Lu Xinghe suddenly remembered what he saw when he came into contact with the Greenoka civilization tens of thousands of years ago before the head of state left.

Greenoka people pursue the so-called "above and above board". Not only did they make extensive use of transparent glass in their architectural style, showing everything about themselves without reservation, they even developed things like collective dormitories. A larger collective dormitory can gather thousands of people, and many of these people Live in this unobstructed place.

This is obviously the result of the long-term escape life that has brought great mental pressure to people, and this mental pressure must have a place to vent.

At that time, I even laughed at the Greenoka civilization in my heart. But I didn’t expect that tens of thousands of years later, this trend would also appear in human civilization.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xinghe made a decision: "Just pay attention secretly, no need to deal with it."

"Yes."

After handling the numerous daily affairs, Lu Xinghe turned his attention to another aspect, which was also the most important aspect.

Over the years, human civilization has always maintained a state of life in which it does not stay in the same place for too long. Once it obtains enough supplies, it immediately enters a state of super-light navigation and immediately transfers coordinates.

In order to ensure safety, before embarking on a new voyage, the ruling committee will first select more than ten alternative destinations, and then dispatch detection forces in advance to detect all the more than ten alternative destinations in advance. Only after it is clear that there is no detection power from other civilizations will they move in.

In the past, detections of candidate galaxies usually yielded harmless results. But with the passage of time, the number of detection devices, industrial or scientific research devices of the Silver Alliance forces began to be discovered in candidate galaxies.

Their technological levels vary, some are more advanced than human beings, and they are highly suspected to be the creation of the founder's civilization. Some are very crude, just the creations of a third-level civilization.

But no matter what level of civilization it is, as long as it is confirmed to be within the sphere of influence of the Silver Alliance, the human fleet will directly abandon it and choose other targets.

Originally this was not a big deal. But in recent times, traces of the Silver Alliance's forces have been discovered in candidate galaxies more and more often. Just like the last voyage, all ten candidate galaxies found traces of the Silver Alliance forces within the galaxy or in surrounding galaxies.

After communicating with Greenoka Civilization and Luotu Civilization, after learning that these two civilizations had similar encounters, Lu Xinghe guessed that the Silver Alliance may be making some big moves and planning some big events in the near future.

However, because he has left the Silver Alliance and does not dare to contact the internal civilizations of the Silver Alliance or connect to the long-distance communication network without authorization, Lu Xinghe does not know what the Silver Alliance wants to do specifically, so he can only pay attention to it secretly for the time being. , and then continued to wait.

Because of the risks involved in the alternative star system, the human fleet had no choice but to extend the voyage time and cancel the midway replenishment plan.

Fortunately, the human fleet carried enough supplies for each voyage to support two consecutive voyages.

This time, the human fleet chose a star field that is more remote and far away from the influence of major civilizations in the Silver Alliance. It is believed that this voyage will be able to successfully settle at the edge of the galaxy and obtain supplies.

If there are no surprises, initial detection conclusions should be drawn in the near future.

After waiting for a few days, Lu Xinghe received the report. The result of the report made his expression gloomy again.

"Ten candidate galaxies, nine of which have found traces of the Silver Alliance's forces in surrounding galaxies."

After thinking silently for a moment and discussing with his colleagues, Lu Xinghe finally made a decision: "This star field is not safe. Give up all alternatives this time and continue to maneuver to the edge of the galaxy to find a more remote and safer place." place to anchor again.”

"It's just that... although we have redundant supplies, the scheduled supplies have failed twice in a row. If we carry out a third voyage, a shortage of supplies is inevitable."

"If there's a shortage, then there's a shortage. Just use it sparingly."

Lu Xinghe sighed: "Compared with the risk of the fleet's coordinates being exposed, we have to bear the price of shortage of supplies."

"Yes."

This time the decision was passed. After that, the human fleet did not stay at the scheduled parking point, but directly changed its course and continued to fly at super-light speed toward the new scheduled parking star system. (End of chapter)
