The Steel Barrier sailed into the wild star field. Why is it called a wild star field? Because star fields with intensive human activities are always filled with all kinds of photoelectric signals, not just human signals, but also various nearby ones.
The signals of alien races are intertwined. The seemingly dark and endless starry sky is actually very lively and busy on another level.
But the wild star field is different. Most of the star systems here are barren and do not have very good resources. Moreover, there is strangely no sound of any civilization. There is almost no signal from intelligent civilization in the entire void, as if it is quiet.
Like a dark jungle.
This is a very abnormal phenomenon. It seems that all the intelligent civilizations in the galaxy are clustered together, but the surrounding large area is a silent wilderness... The description of the wilderness star field is actually the early humans who moved here.
They learned this from the alien races they came into contact with after arriving. However, when humans learned that the original location of the earth was also classified as "barbaric", they felt a chill in their hearts.
At least Rong Xiang thought a lot when he first heard about this... He thought of the historical projections he had seen in the 'Hongshi Museum', and thought of the huge octopus mechanical body that tore the entire earth apart, and there was always something in his heart.
Bad feeling.
In fact, there are definitely not a few people who have similar ideas to him. Many explorers in history have successively set off to the wild star field. However, unfortunately, many of these explorers were not able to come back, and those who came back also wanted to go out.
The Wild Star Territory feels desperate... Because of the limit of human lifespan, no one has ever been able to go to the end of the Wild Star Territory and see what it looks like on the other side. Only the star map routes brought by the return explorers have become these expeditions
The only gain from the operation is that these explorer star maps marked with what they saw along the way are also a rare source of information for humans on the nearby wild star fields.
Of course, there are great opportunities in the Wild Star Territory. In fact, among the more than thirty star territories controlled by the entire Star Empire, twenty-three were developed from the Wild Star Territory. In the past two thousand years, from time to time,
Some extremely valuable galaxies will be discovered, and star gates, administrative stars and even battle courts will be built around them. This is the origin of the Star Empire's ever-expanding territory.
In fact, Rong Xiang had suspected from the beginning that Xue Yanling actually had such a copy of the Explorer Star Map in her hand. Otherwise, how could she have been so decisive in her choice of navigation route? In fact, Rong Xiang had also always suspected that she actually had such a copy at the beginning.
She had already made up her mind to sail to the Wild Star Territory, and Rong Xiang only spoke out for her at that time.
"Can you tell me how long this voyage will take?" He was a little bored during the super-light voyage, so he tentatively asked Xue Yanling.
Xue Yanling hesitated for a moment, but then simply shared a star map to his personal terminal... This was indeed an explorer star map!
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just because this is the key to whether I can stand up in the future, so I can only keep it secret as much as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guarantee that those in the battle court will not send people to sabotage our actions."
Yan Ling explained to Rong Xiang.
In fact, there is really no need to explain, but this at least made Rong Xiang feel her sincerity towards him. He simply opened the star map and looked at it... only to see that it was a star map with very rich content. It showed
It is the star field near the Iron Barrier. However, there is no information in most areas of this star map. Only a zigzag line contains information about many star systems, rubble belts and even mysterious areas.
"Aren't we going to follow this channel to the end?" Rong Xiang frowned, because he could see that the star systems marked on the new map had basically no exploration value.
"Our goal is here, and here..." Xue Yanling came over and clicked twice on the light screen in front of Rong Xiang. They were two star systems that looked relatively close from a macro perspective. Rong
After taking a look at it, I think there seems to be nothing worth paying attention to?
But Xue Yanling suddenly zoomed in on one of the star systems, then pointed at several planets in this galaxy and asked: "Looking at the orbits of these planets, don't you see anything strange?"
Rong Xiang looked at it and remembered the astronomical knowledge he had learned. He made some strange discoveries: "This star system seems to have a gravitational orbit in the habitable zone! But..."
"But there is nothing in this habitable zone. There are obviously other planets farther or closer... In this situation, it is as if someone has forcibly erased the planet that should have existed!"
"Is it a war?" Rong Xiang asked curiously.
"Look here again." Xue Yanling pointed to a detailed star map of another star system for Rong Xiang. This star system was even more extreme. There were only bare stars and no planets in gravitational orbits.
On the contrary, there is a very dense asteroid belt on the periphery of the star system.
"With such a dense outer asteroid belt, it is theoretically impossible for there to be no planet at the beginning of the formation of the star system. Was this also erased later?" Rong Xiang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He suddenly looked at Xue
Yan Ling said: "There is something that has been erasing intelligent civilization! Are you looking for it?"
Xue Yanling shook her head slightly and said: "How is that possible! We can be sure that the wild star field nearby has been silent for more than 2 billion years. Even if there was something active in this area to destroy all civilizations, it should have left long ago. I
All I want is to find some remaining information about ancient civilization."
"In two billion years, what will be left?" Rong Xiang was not optimistic about this.
But Xue Yanling insisted: "This is a gamble. We are lucky to have this star map. The development of human civilization has stagnated, both in terms of technology and its own evolution.
We need to learn from and inspire, and this is my only chance to make a comeback."
Rong Xiang didn't know what to say to her, so he could only let her go. But the two galaxies she discovered that were suspected of being ravaged by war at least proved one thing: there should have been a civilization nearby at least 2 billion years ago.
!Perhaps Xueyan Ling can really find some fragments of ancient civilization?
This voyage, to be honest, is like picking up garbage. What they want to pick up are the remaining traces of ancient civilizations... Maybe two billion years are enough to erase everything, but if they can really find something, no matter it
