Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

"Well... theoretically there shouldn't be any, at least not within a hundred light years of Earth. We have detected them before."

..........

Aurora activated her observation equipment and roughly scanned the planets in the galaxy.

"The universe may be even more empty than we thought, and the number of planets that can give birth to life is only a tiny fraction of one in a billion."

"Even if primitive life is born, it will take millions or even hundreds of millions of years for it to grow into a formal civilization."

"It would take even longer to go into space and exceed the speed of light."

"Makes sense."

Lu Chen and the ship girls thought about it for a while.

Perhaps for most civilizations, entering the space age is a hurdle, and exceeding the speed of light is an even bigger hurdle.

After all, civilizations capable of heading into space and conducting interstellar exploration and colonization are only a minority among the minority.

Once those humans flew out of the galaxy, they found that the entire universe was filled with the works of alien giants and they had already seen enough.

Maybe most of the aliens are still playing in the mud at this time? !

"I don't think there is any civilization that can achieve such a leap forward in development through coincidences of different worlds in a short period of time like us."

Chishou Natsuyo also nodded.

"Even if there really is a super civilization that has existed for countless epochs, I believe we will be able to catch up with them soon."

"After all, we not only have the resource support of the vassal world, but also various technical support from other worlds."

Lu Chen was amused by the confident little girl and wanted to laugh.

"Does this directly reveal the ascension point of Zhulu Xinghe?"

He looked around at the unfamiliar starry sky.

After traveling to this world, we cultivated the land on Earth for several years and spent a lot of effort to break out of the Earth and become a civilization in the star system.

Now we finally have the opportunity to fully explore the universe here.

"Come on, let me guess what's in this universe?"

...

Chapter 316 My home is the Bright Prairie!

hum-

The Aurora carried everyone and continuously activated the hyperspace engine in the sea of ​​stars, crossing one strange galaxy after another.

Not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to explore the environment around the earth.

When Lu Chen first traveled here, the Earth was already a ruin after the extinction of mankind.

There is almost no useful information or documents left, only broken walls and ruins in the world.

Whether it was humans who killed themselves or aliens who couldn't afford to offend them, it was a complete mystery.

Considering that using the spirit particle transfer device in this world might produce some unpredictable results due to the butterfly effect, Lu Chen did not explore it further.

When you are cultivating your own land, what can you do even if you know you have an alien father? You can't even fly into space.

Later, with the launch of the first spacecraft and the advent of the space age, and after continued surveys of the area around the solar system, it was discovered that there was no trace of the alien civilization "740" here.

At least there was no sign of interstellar war.

The solar system is desolate and barren, as if it has never been developed by anyone.

After activating the superluminal technology, you can conduct reconnaissance on a larger range of galaxies.

After arriving in a strange galaxy.

A dozen smaller unmanned spacecraft emerged from Aurora's bottom hatch.

They are much larger than carrier-based aircraft, but smaller than cruisers, and are basically not equipped with weapons.

Only a huge probe can be seen at the front of the spacecraft.

"Go."

Aurora gave an order.

The unmanned spacecraft turned into a meteor and flew in all directions.

After arriving outside the star's gravity well, it activated its hyperspace engine, turned into a blinding light, and disappeared on the spot.

"This is an unmanned research vessel that we have developed. It has a detection radius of more than 20 light years and can capture various signals such as neutrinos, gravitational waves, and electromagnetic waves scattered in the universe."

"After entering the galaxy, we can scan the major planets in the galaxy in a short period of time to analyze whether there are extraterrestrial civilizations or alien life forms."

Chishou Natsuyo brought the scientific research loli and earnestly taught Lu Chen and the ship girls about new technologies.

Pointing out superluminal technology is naturally not as simple as installing an engine.

They had experimented many times before transforming Aurora.

"Isn't this a scientific research ship?!"

Lu Chen felt dazed.

When a normal civilization goes into space, it should first build scientific research ships to explore the way, and then send engineering ships to mark the territory and develop alien resources.

Finally, after having sufficient resources, we began to increase our military strength and build a fleet.

There were some twists and turns in my development process.

First, a fleet of astonishing size was revealed.

There are hundreds of starship girls in the port area, and each of them can fight against hundreds of enemies in space.

The number of Siren and Azure ships produced is difficult to estimate.

A scientific research vessel used for exploration?

No, it doesn't exist. I've been training at home, thank you.

Only after the Star Destroyers came out did we begin the most basic alien exploration work.

This is similar to the idea of ​​first upgrading military technology when farming.

“Are there any engineering ships?”

Gudako asked.

"The starship Brie is the most awesome engineering ship in the universe."

Lu Chen replied.

Swah——

The Aurora set sail with more than a dozen scientific research ships and began detailed exploration work around the Earth.

Scouting one galaxy after another, not missing any star system.

The shipboard AI continuously sent in reports and analysis results, with countless streams of information pouring out on the holographic interface.

"Beta Eridani is 89 light years away from Earth. It consists of a main sequence star and six planets. No traces of extraterrestrial civilization activities have been found..."

"K1 Ceti is 31 light years away from Earth. It is an A-class star. There are no rocky planets in the galaxy..."

"Coma Berenices HD067 is 102 light years away from the solar system. There is a red dwarf star and six planets in the galaxy. Liquid water exists, but no extraterrestrial life has been found."

"..."

All kinds of information are gathered on Aurora's console like reports.

Lu Chen and the other ship girls were all watching intently, fearing that they would miss anything.

Some galaxies have liquid water, and in others simple single-celled life has been found on planets.

Unfortunately, no alien civilization was detected.

Radius 5 light years, 10 light years, 30 light years...

100 light years, 300 light years…

More than ten days later.

On the star map, the five to six hundred light years around the solar system were scanned.

Nothing was found.

Not to mention space civilization, I have never even seen indigenous people that can be called "civilized".

The planet is barren and there are no traces of the destruction of alien civilization.

As for spaceships, I have never encountered one before.

Occasionally, we receive some strange information, but after further analysis, we find that it is just cosmic noise caused by stellar activity. ....

There is nothing around the solar system.

Lu Chen and the ship girl breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful.

“Are we the only intelligent civilization in this universe, or galaxy?”

Gudako made a bold assumption.

"No Mecha God or anything? I thought we could crash into an alien star destroyer..."

"Ehhhhh-"

Lu Chen pinched her face.

"Olympus Mechagod, right? You'll see him when we go back to the third singularity."

“But this is also a good thing.”

Kewei said while playing with her hair.

"It's troublesome to deal with strange aliens."

"It's fine if they're friendly, but what if the other side also believes in something like the Dark Forest Law? Wouldn't it be inevitable to fight?"

"will not."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"In a world where superluminal speed exists, this is a bright prairie, not a dark forest."

“Maybe our location is too remote?”

Chiju Natsuyo marked the location of the solar system on the star map.

The solar system is located at the edge of the Milky Way, belonging to the third spiral arm of the Milky Way, the Orion Arm, 2.5 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.

If the entire Milky Way is considered a city, then the solar system is probably a remote rural area.

"Well, 20,000 light years away, it would be quite troublesome for us to enter the city..."

The ship girls smacked their lips.

On a cosmic scale, spatial distances begin to become extremely exaggerated.

Those who are unreasonably strong on the surface of the planet are just a drop in the ocean in the universe.

"Let the research ship continue to explore farther away. At least our surroundings are quiet."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and gave the order.

He wished that he was the only one in the entire galaxy so that he could exploit resources unscrupulously and as he pleased.

So as to avoid a battle of wits and courage with aliens.

Of course, some alien civilizations are acceptable in safe areas far enough away.

It will be suitable for biomass power generation in the future.

"Also, just in case, we need to upgrade the military technology of the FTL civilization after we return."

"Are you researching neutron annihilation, falling star spears, and star-like meteorites?"
