Feeling strange, Xu Lei did not choose to open the door and enter the Science and Technology Museum, but stopped where he was to figure out the situation.
He has been to this science and technology museum countless times. It can be said that he has explored it inside and out. Except for the booths containing various technology exhibits, there is nothing unusual.
But right now, he was stunned and had a different feeling. This was abnormal.
According to his understanding, this science and technology museum is located in a high-dimensional space. Except for the black building in front of him, it is surrounded by nothingness.
And there is no way to get close.
But now he felt a sense of familiarity in the void.
It's difficult to explain in a short time.
Fortunately, he let his consciousness enter the Science and Technology Museum this time to relieve his boredom. Anyway, there was no news from the Dreadnought. Finding such a strange thing aroused his curiosity, and naturally he gave up the idea of entering the museum.
.
And since you want to find the answer, you must first start with yourself.
Determine the reason for the difference before and after.
The thought stayed here, Xu Lei immediately started his thinking and thought about the whole thing carefully.
In the past, when he controlled his consciousness to enter the Science and Technology Museum, he was always in a distant solar system, and most of the time he stayed on the Earth.
So there are no special findings.
But now others have arrived 1.4 million light-years away in the Milky Way.
The difference between the two is still very big.
"The only thing that can make consciousness feel familiar is..."
"Body!"
"Yes, it's my body."
With a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind, when this sentence emerged, Xu Lei almost subconsciously shouted it out.
His analysis is not wrong.
The only thing that can make your consciousness feel familiar is your own body.
Reasoning in this direction, there is only one possibility left: his body and consciousness are very close.
At this time, Xu Lei became more and more certain that the fire source of the Source Star civilization he was looking for was closely connected with the Science and Technology Museum, so perception could occur.
In the past, Xu Lei entered the science and technology museum consciously, and could only transfer the technical knowledge involved into his mind. Even if he spent a lot of influence, he could not bring the physical objects out.
But if the body can enter this science and technology museum, it may be possible to take out the technology exhibits inside and use them directly.
At that time, there will be no need to reproduce it.
After all, the performance of exhibits that can be collected by the Universe Civilization Science and Technology Museum will definitely not be bad.
The key is that he can feel the physical body, which means that the Fearless is very close to the source of the source of civilization.
Thinking of this, Xu Lei couldn't be more excited. In the past, if you wanted to use the technology exhibits in the science and technology museum to develop, you had to master the technology first, and then try to study the reproduction. However, due to factors such as the level of civilization, the things obtained were different from the ones obtained.
There are often differences in actual exhibits.
For example, the space jump engine this time is not even remotely different from the one introduced in the Science and Technology Museum.
Otherwise, it would not be able to jump only a distance of 200,000 light years at a time.
But if you can enter the science and technology museum in person, the situation will be completely different.
Just imagine, in the future, as long as you have enough influence, you can directly take out the technological exhibits of the fourth-level civilization and use them.
There is no need for any R&D or manufacturing process in the middle.
It can definitely help the solar system civilization survive the crisis at critical moments.
Especially after learning about the Clay Empire in the Andromeda Galaxy from the mold, he seemed even more worried and had to bury all the pressure in his heart.
But now there is such good news, even if the Clay Empire breaks into the solar system, it can still survive.
Speaking of which, he was very proud of his decision to search for the spark of the Origin Star civilization. After all, if he had not persisted and found a way to develop the space jump project, he would have missed this opportunity.
When he first learned about the existence of the Source Star Civilization Fire, he just thought that it might be connected with the Science and Technology Museum.
Maybe you can learn more about the Science and Technology Museum through the information involved.
But he never expected that it would give him such a big surprise in the end.
Maybe this time the Science and Technology Museum will truly reveal everything in front of him.
The only regret is that there is only a single exhibit in the Museum of Science and Technology. If you want to mass-produce it, you will still have to research and develop it yourself.
However, compared with the benefits gained, this regret is completely negligible.
"By the way, I might be able to use this connection to determine the specific location of the origin star civilization's fire. This is a good way."
"Try it first and then talk about it."
Just as Xu Lei was immersed in this joy, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind, which instantly attracted his attention.
As he murmured to himself, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
His idea is rather simple. Since the consciousness can sense the position of the body in a science and technology museum, then one can know the existence of the museum by working backwards.
Judging from the current discoveries, the Science and Technology Museum is very likely to have left the spark of civilization on the Source Star.
As long as you can find the spark of the Origin Star civilization, you should not be far from the Science and Technology Museum.
The key is that the credibility of this method is still very high.
What's more, the dreadnought has been searching for two years now, and nothing has been gained. Now that there are other methods, we must try it.
It doesn't matter if you fail anyway.
With the decision in his mind, Xu Lei no longer hesitated. After first completing the backward calculation through the perception of the body through his consciousness, he then controlled his consciousness to return to his body and let his brain drive the Fearless according to the route he calculated.
And in the process, Xu Lei controlled his consciousness to enter the Science and Technology Museum many times.
Continuously correct the course to ensure that no wasted effort is made.
And it turned out that his method was indeed effective. As time passed, he could feel that the Dauntless was approaching the source of the source star civilization.
Because his awareness of the body is getting stronger and stronger.
It shows that the two are getting closer.
After two years of useless work, significant changes have occurred in just a few days, and Xu Lei was very emotional about this.
But as happy as he was, he also had a lot of worries at the moment.
Judging from the results of the current analysis, this black technology museum building is definitely unusual. In addition to the inability of time to flow, it should also involve space concept technology.
Otherwise, how would those huge exhibits be placed on the stand?
Even if you find a real science and technology museum in this way, if you want to take it away, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
If this is the case, it will undoubtedly be a great regret.
You can't go all the way here every time you exchange for technology exhibits, right?
Fortunately, according to the current situation, no one except him should be able to find the location of the source star civilization fire. Although it will take a little more time and energy, the safety is still there.
Of course, Xu Lei's best plan is to bring the science and technology museum to the solar system.
At least this is convenient.
But Xu Lei soon suppressed these thoughts for the time being. After all, he has not yet entered the fire of civilization left by the Source Star. It is still a little early to think about these things. Maybe there will be a turn for the better by then.
"That's great. As long as we continue to drive in this direction, we will be close to the target in half a month at most."
At this time, as Xu Lei's consciousness returned from the Science and Technology Museum again, his whole expression was also occupied by excitement.
While murmuring softly, his eyes became firmer.
After several trips back and forth between the Science and Technology Museum and the Dreadnought, he basically planned a route directly to the source of the source of civilization. According to the current sailing speed of the Dreadnought, it would take at most half a month to reach it smoothly.
By then he will also be able to see with his own eyes the spark of civilization left behind by the Source Star.
However, it is worth mentioning that the target he determined was based on the consciousness in the Science and Technology Museum. In other words, this can only prove that there is a connection with the Science and Technology Museum, and may not necessarily be the source star civilization fire calculated by the model.
The main reason is that the high-dimensional space he is in is too wide, and there may be multiple leftover civilization fires.
Fortunately, his original goal was to crack the secrets of the Science and Technology Museum. As long as he could find something, it didn't matter whether it was the source of the source star civilization.
At least this trip to the outer reaches of the Milky Way was not in vain.
Half a month passed quickly like this.
Because Xu Lei was too excited, he had been watching the flight situation of the Fearless almost every moment in the past half month.
Don't dare to be careless in any way.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhinao's ability. It's because this space is unimaginable for their three-dimensional beings, and they may deviate from the original route without realizing it.
To this end, he frequently controlled his consciousness and entered the Science and Technology Museum several times. After confirming that there was no problem with the navigation route, he finally relaxed and patiently waited for the day to reach the target location.
…
On this day, when Xu Lei was concentrating on checking the flight data of the Dauntless on the main screen, he suddenly heard a familiar prompt sound in the control hall.
It was the broadcast from the Intrepid Intelligence Brain.
"Special energy fluctuations are detected. Will the warship suspend its flight?"
"Energy fluctuation!"
After hearing this report, Xu Lei was stunned for a moment and then fell into ecstasy. He quickly gave instructions to Zhinao: "The Fearless is parked on the spot and is on standby. Do not perform any operations for the time being."
"Instruction received."
After more than two years of continuous searching, I finally discovered special energy fluctuations.
If nothing else happens, it's probably what he's looking for.
It's just that the situation is still unclear at the moment. Apart from special energy fluctuations, no other findings have been found, so we must proceed with caution.
Otherwise, if the situation gets worse due to rash actions, there will be no room for regret.
And just after Xu Lei gave the instructions to the Dreadnaught brain, a virtual energy figure quickly gathered around him. It was obvious that he also knew what was going on here.
"It seems that this should be the location of the fire of civilization left by Yuan Xing. I didn't expect that you would finally find it."
Mo looked at the special energy fluctuation range projected on the screen, nodded immediately and said, the stone in his heart finally became lighter.
He calculated the location of the source of civilization fire for Xu Lei. After several years, he finally successfully entered the high-dimensional space, but he never found the civilization fire. If he returned in vain, he was worried that Xu Lei would think too much.
.
I think he deliberately failed to give accurate coordinates.
After all, there is a Andromeda galaxy in the Milky Way, and the Clay Empire is eyeing it. It urgently needs Xu Lei to lead the solar system to become a level four civilization.
Now that I have finally found it, I have successfully completed what Xu Lei asked me to do.
The Museum of Science and Technology was Xu Lei's biggest trump card, and of course he would not tell Mo because Mo just thought he was lucky enough to have successfully found the source of the source of civilization.
Who knew that this was the route that Xu Lei deduced using his consciousness.
However, although it is true that the fire source of the Source Star civilization has been found, how to enter is still a problem.
Apart from the special energy fluctuations detected by the Dauntless, they found nothing.
It makes people feel helpless.
Seeing the delicious food right in front of you but having no way to get it is really uncomfortable.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Lei could only ask the model for advice, and then asked: "What should we do next? Do we want the battleship to rush over directly?"
"In my database, Yuanxing was the most powerful civilization before the Big Bang. If they can retain the spark of civilization, I'm afraid it will definitely not be simple. Even after countless epochs, they should still have defense methods."
"It's better to send a frigate over first to test it out."
After hearing Xu Lei's question, Mo thought about it carefully and then answered.
Xu Lei was also deeply concerned when he asked, especially when he thought about the mysterious power of the Science and Technology Museum, he did not dare to underestimate it.
If Source Star sets up a defense for the remaining civilization fire, if the Dauntless rushes over rashly, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
After all, whether it is the Science and Technology Museum or the Source Star, the level of civilization is much higher than that of the solar system.
The Dreadnought's defense alone is, to some extent, almost paper-thin.
Now that we have reached this point, we must be more careful.
Thinking of this, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately gave Zhinao a new order: "Send two frigates to test it out."
"Executing."
Zhinao would not have any objection to Xu Lei's instructions. As soon as the voice sounded, he opened the left side cabin and started two frigates to fly towards the area with special energy fluctuations.
Xu Lei naturally kept a close eye on this, not daring to miss any changes.
But what neither he nor Mo expected was that just a few minutes after flying out, the two small frigates seemed to have hit something invisible, exploded and crashed completely.
Looking at the picture transmitted from the main screen, Xu Lei also immediately looked at each other.
"this……"
I never expected such a result.
The whole process happened so fast that no one could even react.
At the same time, this also made Xu Lei feel scared. If he had not followed Mo's suggestion just now and directly drove the Dauntless to rush over, this would have been the same result.
Facts have proved that the fire of civilization left behind by the Source Star can be preserved in the present and escape the Big Bang, which cannot be underestimated.
Even this invisible shield alone cannot be broken through.
When his thoughts reached this point, Xu Lei couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect that although he knew something related to the Science and Technology Museum, he couldn't go in to investigate.
After all, the Dauntless doesn't even have a weapon system, so there's no way to break through this special energy shield.
Even if I continue to stay here, I can only watch helplessly.
But just when he was hesitating whether to give up, Mo's voice sounded in his ears again: "Look at the civilization fire left by the source star is protected by a powerful energy field. If you want to enter, I'm afraid you have to give up this energy field first."
Destroy it."
"Is it possible?"
Mo's words rekindled Xu Lei's hope and subconsciously asked.
"If it was first deployed, we might not be able to destroy it with our power, but it has existed for countless epochs and has experienced the Big Bang. I'm afraid it's not far away from collapse."
"Maybe we still have some hope."
Xu Lei thought carefully about Mo's words in his heart, and suddenly felt that they made sense.
After finally traveling from the Milky Way to an unfamiliar star field 1.4 million light-years away, it is really unacceptable to go back empty-handed.
Even if you don't succeed, you should always give it a try.
At least if you work hard you won't have any regrets.
Otherwise, Xu Lei is sure that even if he returns to the Milky Way, he will regret giving up today.
Besides, who knows when we will be able to come over next time.
In addition, the Clay civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy is also a huge potential threat, and may launch a surprise attack on the Milky Way at any time. Only by truly mastering the Science and Technology Museum can we achieve final victory.
After making a decision in his heart, Xu Lei's eyes suddenly became firm.
"Director, you are right. No matter whether you can succeed or not, you must try."
He murmured this sentence decisively to himself, and then directly issued new instructions to his brain.
"Open the belly door of the Intrepid, activate all space combat robots, and attack the energy field."
"Instruction received."
"Opening the belly hatch..."
"The space battle robot is awakening..."
That's right.
In order to ensure that the Dauntless could successfully complete the space jump, no weapon system was installed on it when it was manufactured, rendering it without any combat capability.
But Xu Lei took this situation into consideration when he came.
Therefore, many small frigates and a total of 10,000 space combat robots were deliberately brought along.
Although when entering the high-dimensional space, in order to prevent the night from being long and full of dreams, the small frigates sent out were not waited for the return. In addition, two more frigates were damaged just now, so that the number of frigates in stock was seriously reduced.
Unable to undertake the task of destroying the energy field.
But these ten thousand space combat robots are intact.
This space combat robot recently developed by Future Technology is mainly a warship targeting extraterrestrial civilizations.
The overall height is more than two meters. It uses a micro-nuclear fusion reaction device to provide energy. In addition to extremely powerful particle laser beam weapons, it is also equipped with high-explosive weapons such as micro-hydrogen bombs. It can move quickly in space relying on the power device on its back.
Perhaps one space combat robot cannot cause much power, but if ten thousand of them attack at the same time, even a large Star Destroyer may not be able to withstand it.
There is no doubt that these ten thousand space combat robots are Xu Lei's trump card.
If you fail to successfully break through this energy field, you may have no choice but to return home.
As Xu Lei's instructions were issued, and under the execution of the intelligence brain, one could see that the largest hatch in the belly of the Intrepid projected on the screen had slowly opened.
Then you can see the successfully activated silver space combat robots flying out of the belly hatch one after another.
Just like a powerful army.
It's so exciting to watch, as if nothing can stop them from moving forward.
And because of the lessons learned from the crash of a small frigate, tens of thousands of space combat robots are all controlled by intelligent brains and launch attacks directly after arriving at the corresponding location.
It didn't hit them all at once.
When countless particle laser beams are concentrated and shot towards the energy field, the resulting fluctuations finally reveal the energy field.
And according to the monitoring of the Dreadnought battleship, there are basically no loopholes.
Originally, Xu Lei was thinking about whether he could make the Dauntless go around to see the strength of the energy field in other directions. Now it seems that the only way is to forcibly destroy this path, otherwise he can only choose to give up.
So in the following time, Xu Lei no longer held back, and directly let Zhi Nao control all the space combat robots to continue attacking.
Anyway, every space combat robot is equipped with a miniature nuclear fusion reaction device, and the energy is relatively sufficient in a short period of time. However, there will be a short cooling time after each particle laser beam is emitted.
But Xu Lei was determined to engage in a protracted war, so he no longer cared about this.
He simply sat comfortably on the chair and let the space battle robots attack him.
But as time goes by, the situation has always remained like this. It seems that this special energy field is still in its prime and has not been damaged in any way. No matter how the space combat robot attacks, it does not cause any damage, not even a breach.
Open.
Seeing that his patience was gradually running out, Xu Lei couldn't think of a solution even though he was unwilling to do so.
Even the model next to him remained silent.
No one expected that this trip to the outer reaches of the Milky Way would end in such a regrettable way.
But Xu Lei soon experienced what it means that misfortune never comes alone.
Just as he was secretly thinking about how to deal with it, he heard another prompt from Zhi Nao in the control hall, and this time the tone was obviously much more urgent.
It's obviously an emergency.
"Alert, there is a large amount of unknown energy fluctuations approaching quickly. It is recommended that the Dauntless evacuate immediately!"
…
"New energy fluctuations?"
When Xu Lei heard Zhinao repeating the warning three times in a row, Xu Lei's expression immediately changed. Unexpectedly, a new situation arose before the energy field surrounding the source star civilization's fire was conquered.
The key point is that there are tens of thousands of space combat robots standing in front of us, but they insist on letting the Dauntless evacuate.
Obviously the level of risk is higher.
At this moment, Xu Lei finally saw what the unknown energy fluctuation in Zhi Nao's mouth was through the front view of the space battle robot.
I suddenly took a breath of cold air, it was so terrifying.
Because looking around, I saw a large number of micro-aircraft that resembled bees flying from the energy field, and their targets were the tens of thousands of space combat robots attacking the energy field.
In just a few minutes, a fight broke out between the two sides.
Seeing this, Xu Lei naturally understood that the attack just now should have triggered other defense mechanisms inside the energy field, which is why so many micro-aircraft flew out. But I have to say that this is also a good sign, at least it shows the defense of the energy field.
limited.
Otherwise, it is enough to be blocked by the energy field, and there is no need to send an additional army of micro-aircraft to attack.
