Five years later.

Earth's calendar years.

Earth Command Center.

"Calling the [Jiaolong] shuttle ship. This is the [Earth] command center. Please respond."

An encrypted tachyon broadcast was sent from the Earth to an unremarkable shuttle a hundred light-years away.

...

[Jiaolong] shuttles inside the ship.

Jiang Qun gazed at the dense nebula outside the porthole, his face displaying a complex mix of excitement and trepidation.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart.

but……

The results don't seem to be very good.

After his lucky return from the battlefield, his rank and contribution value received a huge boost.

Thanks to this, he successfully stood out from countless others and won this opportunity that was destined to be recorded in history—the opportunity to test drive the [Jiaolong] five-dimensional shuttle!

Prior to the test flight, the Academy of Sciences had conducted dozens of five-dimensional navigation experiments.

Although each experiment was successful, this does not mean that the test drive was without danger.

According to the voyage plan, the shuttle will ascend to the fifth dimension and, driven by the fifth-dimensional engine, leave the current universe bubble to test some of the latest fifth-dimensional weapons developed by the Academy of Sciences.

Let's put aside other things for now.

The very fact that it involved leaving the bubble in this universe made this test drive extremely dangerous!

No one can give a definite answer as to what will happen after leaving the cosmic bubble.

"Calling the [Jiaolong] shuttle ship. This is the [Earth] command center. Please respond."

A clear sound came from the speaker and reached Jiang Qun's ears.

"[Jiaolong] Received. I am ready and can depart at any time!"

After a short wait, a familiar voice came through.

"[Jiaolong], set off!"

...

Enveloped in countless nebulous substances, the [Jiaolong] shuttle began its dimensional ascension.

As the power of the Zero Point Furnace gradually increased, the originally clearly visible outline gradually turned into a shadow.

"The dragon has successfully ascended to the fourth dimension! Everything is normal!"

Jiang Qun's report was transmitted to the distant Earth via tachyon signals.

The next moment, the power of the Zero Point Furnace increased again.

"...The dragon has successfully ascended to the fifth dimension."

"Everything is normal!"

After a brief wait, Jiang Qun sent another report: "Activating the five-dimensional engine..."

Buzz...

With a subtle fluctuation, the [Jiaolong] disappeared into the visible universe.

...

The moment the [Jiaolong] disappeared, a piercing alarm sounded inside the [Earth].

"Warning! [Jiaolong] tachyon signal lost!"

Zero's electronically synthesized voice resounded dutifully within the command center.

"Switch to the hyperspace membrane communication band," Lü Yongchang calmly issued the order. "Re-call [Jiaolong]!"

...

The moment the five-dimensional engine was activated, the five-dimensional [dragon] left the original universe bubble directly under the engine's propulsion!

Tachyon communication cannot propagate across cosmic bubbles.

Therefore, this can lead to a short period of signal loss.

This was also the most dangerous moment of the entire voyage.

Seeing the flashing signal loss warning light, Jiang Qun took a deep breath and skillfully switched communication methods.

Hyperspace membrane communication – This is a communication method that can be used near the cosmic bubble and hyperspace membrane.

Information exchange across the universe is achieved by relying on the subtle fluctuations of the hyperspace membrane.

"...Calling [Jiaolong]."

Perhaps because the technology is not yet fully mature, or perhaps because of interference from the cosmic bubble, the sound from the speaker sounds somewhat distorted.

Even so, the moment Jiang Qun heard the voice, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was suddenly put down!

"[Jiaolong] Received! I have successfully departed from this cosmic bubble!"

"...Heh...How does it feel? Heh...What did you see?"

Jiang Qun quickly reported, "Feeling good, [Jiaolong] is perfectly normal!"

He then turned his gaze to the porthole.

That one glance left him completely stunned inside the cabin of the [Jiaolong]!

"...[Dragon]? What did you see?"

“I…I saw our universe.” Jiang Qun was slightly dazed, subconsciously describing the spectacular scene before him, “Those were bubbles attached to a membrane.”

"In the distance, there are endless cosmic bubbles of varying sizes."

"We...are not alone."

"Hmph... Besides the hyperspace membrane and the cosmic bubble, what else?"

Jiang Qun's lips moved slightly as he murmured, "I... I can't describe it. This is an incomparably vast space; our universe is but a drop in the ocean within it..."

...

The bottom of the cosmic bubble.

An unusual fluctuation traveled along the hyperspace membrane, disturbing the membrane located at the bottom of the cosmic bubble.

He turned his gaze toward the direction from which the fluctuations were coming.

It was a pitifully small aircraft.

Even so, He was deeply shocked.

The reason is simple.

That spacecraft was actually flying in the fifth dimension outside the cosmic bubble!

He suddenly widened his eyes and carefully observed the flying machine.

An emblem on the aircraft caught His eye and brought Him an even greater shock!

Human civilization!

That is a symbol of human civilization!

Damn it!

He pounded on the hyperspace membrane in front of him to vent his anger: "Human civilization is still alive!!"
