Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

"Commander, based on the microscopic particles and various waveforms detected by the detectors, we have roughly compiled some laws."

"In terms of appearance, this universe is largely similar in form to the larger universe, except that the structure of its fundamental particle framework is not atomic..."

"Is it a... triangular basic structure?" the researchers wondered.

"Theoretically speaking, this alien universe should have many natural star continents in addition to planets, and further research is needed on other types of celestial bodies."

"Commander, if possible, please help us collect some basic particles and matter."

"..."

Without hesitation, Qingyang flew to a planet and used some of the restored equipment to decompose a large number of the planet's tectonic plates and store them in Xingmi.

A group of young researchers who obtained the basic matter of this alien universe quickly threw themselves into their enthusiastic research.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Because the local star network needed to fully adapt the Eternal Fleet to the alien universe structure, it did not implement a coverage exploration mode, and there was no faster-than-light travel route.

Even traveling at a speed a hundred times that of light in reality, it is still incredibly small on a cosmic scale.

In short, no traces of civilization were found in Qingyang.

However, researchers have made considerable progress.

Without relying on equipment, this group of active young scholars from the alliance single-handedly advanced technology from scratch to a Level 2 civilization in an alien universe.

That's right. The premise that all the laws and knowledge we had learned were completely invalid was that in just ten days, hundreds of thousands of researchers advanced technology from zero to a level two civilization!

It's important to know that aside from their mental abilities and spiritual power, their extraordinary abilities are currently unable to function in another universe!

Not to mention using supernatural or psychic abilities in conjunction with scientific research to decompose and recombine matter.

"Although the foundations and processes are different, the manifestations of nuclear fusion are quite similar: burning liquids," one researcher complained.

"After all, it's standard energy. Other rare energy technologies that can be used directly as energy without conversion have different forms of manifestation..."

"The fundamental forces are also strange. Currently, we can only identify two forces that are similar to gravity and repulsion. When will the research facility be restored?"

"..."

Looking at the screen, one sees a large group of elites researching faster-than-light engine technology within the framework of this universe.

Qingyang was in a good mood, thinking that having such talent would stabilize the situation in any universe.

Then Qingyang looked at Changxi: "Are you sure that there is only one layer of the faster-than-light flow region in this universe, and that it is extremely dangerous?"

[Classified information detected (Target: Faster-than-light flow region)]

Ok?

What? The ancient star's fortune can be used here too?

"Expand information."

Hyperspace: The faster-than-light flow region of the universe. Direct travel is extremely dangerous and requires at least a Type 6 civilization (according to the Alliance's standards) to travel directly.

For a normal civilization to travel safely, it would need to construct a hyperspace channel (a technology required for a Level 7 civilization).

The area contains hyperspace routes, and even a Type II civilization could research the corresponding hyperspace travel technology.

Qingyang and the others were immediately puzzled: Is it that engine technology is simple but road construction is difficult?

The question is, why would a Level 7 civilization build hyperspace routes for other civilizations?

Without the hyperspace network, how could a primitive civilization develop?

"Call Belya over. She studies cosmic sociology and should be able to help," Qingyang said to Changxi.

Upon receiving the order, Belya rushed over. Her eyes lit up when she heard the message, and she quickly sent the information to her research team.

After a short while, Belya and the others finished their discussion.

"Commander, based on our speculation, this is how this universe grows. The growth model of the greater universe is to let civilizations grow freely."

The process of regressing will only begin when the number of high-quality civilizations that have been born has significantly decreased. This is a cultivation method that is only used by powerful universes with virtually inexhaustible resources.

The cultivation method in this alien universe should be that pioneers mentor those who come after them, but it's unlikely they can directly help them.

Instead, they construct hyperspace routes, leave behind auxiliary information, improve the environment for cultivating civilizations, and so on, in order to maximize the growth rate and survival rate of potential civilizations, which can also be considered as increasing competition.

"We speculate that advanced civilizations would receive a cosmic reward for such actions," Belya said.

"Another method is to clear the cosmic load. The larger universe uses backtracking, and this universe should also have similar methods to clear iterative civilizations."

Upon hearing this, Qingyang nodded thoughtfully: "Those who go before will mentor those who come after, until the limit is reached and then eliminated..."

The level of chaos should not be as exaggerated as that outside the vast cosmic star sea region, but the scale of the war and the number of the six civilizations must be large enough!

The Great Universe Retrospection involves burning a large amount of high-dimensional energy to create a high-dimensional storm. This extravagant retrospection method is likely unaffordable for this alien universe, otherwise the faster-than-light flow region wouldn't be so 'primitive'.

This is the basis for representing the upper limit of the average strength of civilizations; in other words, it represents the strength of the universe to a certain extent.

If we don't use high-dimensional cosmic storms, the only efficient way that doesn't consume cosmic power is through a war of cleansing from above!

Unlike the unavoidable high-dimensional storms, there must be quite a few sixth-tier civilizations that survived the war cleanup mode.

Qingyang narrowed his eyes, his tone enigmatic.

"It seems this is a universe rife with civilized politics and war..."

Chapter 178 A Special Galaxy

Data reaction?

After a moment's thought, Qingyang immediately steered the Eternal toward its target.

Ten days have passed since we arrived. The attack array modules of the starship have been basically restored, except for some templates, star weapons and rule characteristics that have not yet been fully restored.

The Eternal Truth Fleet now possesses considerable combat power.

Even some conventional weapons, such as the Tiangong Giant Structure, have been restored to normal operation, which is sufficient to deal with most emergencies.

Surely we can't possibly encounter a level 9 civilization right at the start of the game?

As the Eternal began its faster-than-light journey, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, with boundless chaos and a rampage of spatial particles.

This created spatial storms with a lethality index of 70,000 to 80,000.

Hyperspace watershed!

Unless a civilization reaches level six and possesses superior shield and energy technologies, ordinary warships simply cannot navigate in this environment.

Ignoring the surrounding space storms, the Eternal sped toward its destination.

"A million times the distance in space, if you travel at the speed of light for one year here, it would take about two million light-years in the real dimension."

Researchers quickly used the equipment onboard the Endurance to analyze the speed and determined it to be faster than the speed of light.

The standard speed of light differs between the macrocosm and the extraverse, but overall they are roughly the same.

"I wonder if the hyperspace route has an acceleration effect."

The researchers thought of this and quietly recorded it in their observation log, preparing to observe it further when the opportunity arose.

As the local network continuously adjusts its source data to adapt to the rules and structure of this universe, sophisticated equipment such as scientific research facilities are gradually restored, and the pace of technological advancement driven by hundreds of thousands of researchers is soaring.

In their words, only by traversing the technological development of the alien universe from scratch can they gain a deeper understanding of it and even benefit their star fleet.

The rules and laws of different universes, even the basic ones, are still useful for the Alliance and the StarNet.

Not long after, the Eternal approached the unknown data source.

Qingyang immediately exited hyperspace and controlled the Eternal to enter stealth mode.

The detection matrix quickly swept across the surroundings, and Qingyang and the others immediately discovered the specific coordinates of the data source.

It was an unmanned spaceship, an oval-shaped, silver spaceship, only about 100 meters long.

Without hesitation, thousands of Eternal probes were launched at the spaceship, and the Endless Explorers activated immediately.

[Raboul Cluster: A star cluster with a diameter of approximately 800 million light-years, specific coordinates:.......]

[Unique cosmic structure: Unlike the massive celestial bodies such as star seas, nebulae, or superclusters in the macrocosm, the celestial bodies in the alien universe are fragmented and scattered.]

These are all regions of galaxies/star clusters with diameters ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of light-years. Very few of them are large celestial bodies. The distances between the galaxies or star clusters are vast, and there are no hyperspace routes between them.

It usually requires a level six civilization to complete the passage.

In addition to the two messages, Qingyang also received a star map of the nearby area, covering a range of billions of light-years.

Qingyang suddenly realized why he had never seen any large-scale star systems along the way.

Does it mean randomly and haphazardly scattering a large number of celestial bodies throughout the universe?

Now that there was a star map, it was only natural to go and take a look. Thinking it was a good idea, Qingyang immediately set a flight path and sped towards the nearest star system.

Estimated arrival time: one month

Qingyang didn't care. Even for a genius commander, there wouldn't be much progress in strength after advancing to T5, even if it took several years.

The precious period of rapid growth only lasts from T8 to T6.

However, halfway through the voyage, a sudden notification from the local network caught Qingyang off guard.

[Star Fleet data, commander talents, star weapons, standard equipment, adjutants, extraordinary individuals... all have been adapted to]

The flagship template has been restored, and all functions have been fully restored.

[Recommendation: Utilize the Starry Sky Domain for navigation (Note: Primal Starry Sky Space has no network channels; navigation efficiency is only the same as higher-dimensional channels)]

Qingyang was overjoyed. The Starry Sky Space was still usable?!

As for the prompts, Qingyang didn't care. Although they weren't as exaggerated as the Starry Sky Network's efficiency of ten times that of high-dimensional routes, they were still more than enough!

Qingyang was well aware of the terrifying speeds of high-dimensional travel routes!

Even within the alliance, it remains a high-end navigation technology, second only to StarNet data navigation and data delivery.

"Enter the Starry Sky Space."

In an instant, the Eternal appeared in the starry sky filled with boundless golden light and sped toward its destination.

In just a moment, the Eternal arrived at its destination.
