The war entered a stalemate. After Lightyear occupied almost 10 galaxies of the community, it stopped its expansion and began to digest. These galaxies together only have a population of 300 million, which is a marginal interest for the community. Only Soma
The Republic and the Mandal Emirate were very angry after one-third of their territory was cut off, and insisted on the community launching a counterattack. However, the upper levels of the community continued to make excuses and offered various excuses. The key is that the commanders of the community fleet also firmly opposed the war, leaving the two
If any of the participating countries try to take back the galaxy on their own, they will never do it.
During this time, Chu Jungui suddenly had a strange feeling, as if there was a weak mysterious feeling in the universe, calling him constantly. This feeling came from nowhere. Chu Jungui checked himself and found that
No abnormalities were found, the nerve current did not change, and the chemical substances did not change, but there was a mysterious feeling.
After a few minutes, the feeling gradually became dull and disappeared. However, Chu Jungui was still restless, always feeling that something was about to happen.
The other side of the galaxy.
This place is close to the disintegration line between the Federation and the Dynasty. It has just experienced several fierce battles, with more than a million casualties on both sides. At this moment, the galaxy has fallen into the hands of the Federation, but there are still remnants of the Dynasty's forces resisting on the planet. The Federation only leaves one
A limited force occupied several strategic locations on the planet and did not expand further.
The other side galaxy is just an ordinary resource galaxy with no habitable stars, so neither side originally cared much about it. The real reason for several consecutive battles is that it is very close to the singularity of the real dream world, and has produced a large number of incomings in the past.
So the competition here is actually between the scientific research institutions of the Dynasty and the Federation. The Dynasty has tried its best to fight back, but after the Community joined the war, it could no longer save the galaxy on the other side, and it fell into the hands of the Federation.
The Federation's losses were greater than those of the Dynasty, and it was unable to leave more troops to stay. Now everyone in the federal military regards forcing the Dynasty to surrender unconditionally as the most important and only strategic goal. Austin, who insists on investing in the real dream, has been marginalized.
, even the title of Federal Military God cannot get him support. Now only one-tenth of Austin’s department funding is left, most of the staff have been transferred, and almost all projects are at a standstill. An old friend from the past is the most politically determined
This time, his allies also stood against him, and only some scientists were left to support him, but it was of no use.
In the galaxy on the other side, an old-fashioned high-speed light cruiser was slowly leaving its orbit and heading to the jump point outside the galaxy. After leaving the planet's orbit, the starship began to accelerate slowly and steadily. When it reached the jump point, it could just reach the jump speed.
Inside the starship, Austin stood in front of the porthole, looking at the planet that was gradually disappearing. Just two years ago, there was a huge research center in orbit here, consisting of 12 mobile scientific research bases. It was also the largest in the entire dynasty.
One of the two research centers dedicated to studying real dreams. Of course it is no longer there. Shortly after the war began, this mobile base flew back to the hinterland of the dynasty. Austin also boarded this base at the beginning, and
The doctor met. No one knew what they talked about that time. They only knew that after Austin returned, he became a staunch supporter of real dream research, and nothing could change his position.
Returning to the hometown this time is completely different from the last time. The huge research base is no longer there, and the wreckage of starships and space stations are floating everywhere in the galaxy. The Federation has occupied this place, but there is no spare capacity to clean up the space junk, so it can only let it go
They were left to drift at will. The sky above the orbits of the two resource stars was empty. There was not a single orbital station or star port in sight, not even a few satellites left. The entire galaxy looked like it was surviving a disaster.
Austin is also different. The last time he came, he was escorted by an entire squadron. There were a total of five of the Federation's most advanced heavy cruisers in the fleet. Even if he encountered a capital ship, he could maneuver and retreat. But this time he only had one
An old starship, it is also a light cruiser that is over 100 years old. This starship was not even looked down upon by the Federation fleet, which was in desperate need of combat power, and was given to Austin as the flagship. Perhaps the only advantage of this starship is that
The speed is just okay.
"Have you finished collecting the data?" Austin asked. Naturally, he did not come here to reminisce, but came here as a routine to collect data on real dreams, and then tried to find out the secrets of real dreams through comparative research on large amounts of data. This was an arduous task
work, and the probability of success is extremely low. Now that all the top scientists in Austin have been transferred, all they can do is collect and analyze data.
It took several minutes before someone answered: "Yes, we are collecting it... but the damn circuit has failed again, and several sensors are not working! I don't know if the collected data is useful, damn, this
The ship is too broken!"
Austin smiled bitterly and said, "Go back."
The data collection this time is not very useful. One more time or one less time will not have a decisive impact on the research. The starship has already begun to accelerate at this time, and it will consume a lot of fuel to stop, and now Austin has limited funds on hand.
Can't afford the extra fuel.
The starship accelerated slowly. This acceleration was the most economical way to accelerate a jump. After a few hours, the starship flew out of the galaxy and approached the jump point.
Austin habitually glanced out the window. At this time, the starship was already moving at sub-light speed, and the galaxy scene he saw was a little distorted. At this time, he suddenly saw a bright light somewhere deep in the starry sky!
That light was extremely dazzling and impossible to ignore. After the light flashed, it turned from white to red and became as real as flowing paint, slowly spreading in the deep sky!
Austin has seen the wonders of the universe countless times, but this is the first time he has seen such a vision.
"Stop the ship!" He immediately ordered, but by then it was too late. The starship entered the wormhole with huge inertia and disappeared into the void.
When the starship reappeared, it was already in the heart of the Federation, 35 light years away from the other side of the galaxy. Austin looked at the time and saw that the jump took 4 hours. This is a common problem with old starships, and the latest technology can allow the jump to
Completed within 30 minutes. When communication was restored, Austin immediately contacted the intelligence department and asked: "Is there anything abnormal in the galaxy on the other side?"
"Sorry, we did not receive any abnormal reports."
Austin frowned slightly. As a person whose strength has reached the pinnacle of human history, he knew very well that he could not be wrong or hallucinate. He said in a deep voice: "Request the guard force of the other side of the galaxy to dispatch a reconnaissance boat to investigate. The coordinates are 791,11,232
.Report immediately after investigation!”
After issuing the order, Austin always felt a little uneasy. He opened a special channel in the communication terminal, hesitated, and sent a communication request. However, the response he received was: "You do not have permission to contact this channel."
