Qi Heng played...
Chapter 305
Space jump shortens the journey. If Qi Heng is willing to consume more energy, he can travel back and forth between Tianyun Star and Xihuan Star in a very short time.
The Deep Blue remained in outer space outside Tianyun Star and did not land.
Once here, he can directly use the system to teleport.
After using the Deep Blue to perform many space jumps during this period, he gained a deeper understanding of the system's built-in folding space and transmission methods.
The space-related functions possessed by the system go several steps further than the jump engine on Deep Blue, and are even several steps ahead of the advanced space technology.
In a game, space teleportation is so convenient that it's not surprising. But in reality, it can still be used at will, which is enough to shock and surprise anyone who has some understanding of space technology.
A level six civilization can’t do that.
It had already reached the peak of the sixth-level civilization and was only one step away from crossing that threshold. Even the Tianjia civilization, which had achieved the seventh-level civilization, could not do it.
In the game, this space teleportation ability is not reflected in the development of civilization, but is simply a convenience for players to use.
In other words, the technological level of the Tianjia civilization is the same as that of the sixth-level civilization.
The only bug is the player who controls the character of "Tianjia Overlord". It is because of the existence of the player that the development momentum of Tianjia civilization is so rapid.
In this galaxy named "Milky Way" by the Lord of Tianjia, no civilization can develop as fast as the Tianjia civilization.
——It took only 10,000 years for the Tianjia civilization to go from enlightening ignorant and backward people with wisdom to becoming the dominant civilization that dominated the galaxy.
Ten thousand years, in most or other civilizations, is not even enough for the formation of intelligent species in the civilization, let alone igniting the "fire of civilization".
On Tianyun Star.
He directly consumed energy to teleport himself outside Area 49. One second he was still on the Deep Blue in outer space, and the next second he was standing firmly on the road leading to Area 49.
Of course, we deliberately chose a section of the road where there were no surveillance and Zerg infestations.
Even if it were easy for him to eliminate a piece of surveillance, it would be much easier to prevent the risk of exposure in advance than to make up for it afterwards.
As soon as he returned to Tianyun Star, the light brain on his wrist kept popping up messages, and the communication number set up specifically for "Doctor" in the system also kept ringing.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this before he came back and muted his communication equipment in advance, otherwise he would have been given a headache by the noise at this time.
There are too many fake identities created. Except for the original identity used by oneself, the communication accounts of other identities are managed by the system.
There is no way. Every identity he created has corresponding transactions, not just empty accounts that look good.
This time the doctor took Qi Heng on a business trip, and he was unable to deal with the messages received from other identities.
I can only say that it’s a good thing that I was only away for more than ten days, and fortunately there were no urgent matters to deal with on Tianyun Star in the near future, and fortunately I awakened the AI responsible for various fields in advance.
Otherwise, if they all disappear, all the plans that are being implemented will be halted.
He walked towards Area 49.
This place is only two kilometers away from Area 49. At his speed, even if he walks slowly, it will only take him twenty minutes.
It is just during this time of walking that I can process the information that needs to be processed, and then see how the progress on Tianyun Star has been during this period of time.
Qi Heng first dealt with the information of his own account. A0 was in charge of the system, and if there was no emergency, A0 could handle it.
Those fake accounts were all for working people, with no personal information, just official business.
It is much faster to let A0 handle official business than to do it yourself. The replies are all fair and impartial without any delay. AI is much better than humans in this regard.
Qi Heng read the news while walking, and his mental power was like having an extra pair of eyes. He was not afraid of whether there were pits or telephone poles ahead.
There were a series of red dots in the message list representing unread messages. He sighed and clicked on Lan Yi and the others first.
He scrolled to the top of the message list and read from the earliest one. The time when the message was sent was about two days after he left Tianyun Star.
It's about Gathering Place No. 1. I went to meet with Imper and discussed the subsequent construction plan.
In the middle, some news about education was discussed.
Looking through them one by one, they were all tasks he had given to Lan Yi early in the morning.
Looking at the message sent by Lan Yi, Qi Heng raised the corners of his mouth and was in a good mood.
I have been away for almost half a month, and Lan Yi and the others have handled everything very well. This means that if I am away for a longer period of time in the future, the affairs on Tianyun Star can be left to them to handle.
This way, I can feel at ease.
He browsed quickly, so he saw the latest information quickly.
But this time, after reading the content again, Qi Heng was a little surprised. The latest information he received was not what he expected.
——It is an inquiry related to time commemoration.
He seemed to be thinking about something and did not reply immediately. He looked at the messages sent by Luo Shen and the others. Most of them were official matters, and in the end they all mentioned the same confusion as Lan Yi.
But on Lan Yi's side, in addition to asking questions, he also gave solutions one, two, and three.
Qi Heng glanced at the time on the computer.
If a civilization can develop, it will naturally have its own way of calculating time.
It turns out that the Zerg on Tianyun Star don't need it. Anyway, they are under the supervision of the Ikal civilization. Even if they can live for decades on Tianyun Star, they are not much different from mayflies that are born and die in a day.
In their lives, it is enough to remember the dates and times that are closely related to them, such as the Day of Falling Stars and the Winter Season.
As for what day of the week it is or how many days there are in a month, none of that matters.
After all, their lives are just a repetition of the same things, empty and boring, with no value in being remembered... Just staying alive consumes all their energy.
Qi Heng didn't pay much attention to time, years, months, days, and chronology. He brought the system with him when he first traveled through time, and the system had its own time display.
Because I was used to it, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Thinking of this, he asked A0 directly.
[The system time continues to use the Tianjia Civilization calendar. Since Your Excellency is on Tianyun Star, the calculation of years, months, and days is based on the Tianyun Star calendar.]
【Look.】
The system called up a timetable, and every time on it was still jumping. At the front of the table were the names of the residential stars from Tianjia Star and the eight administrative stars down.
No, not all planets have time still ticking. For some planets, the time behind them has stopped.
"These……"
He clicked on the names of the planets where time had stopped. Some of them looked familiar to him. He had been there before when he left Tianyun Star.
[Based on the data sent back by Deep Blue, the system calculated the time of the planet's 'death'.]
So the time of these planets stopped not in the present, but in the distant past.
The civilization calendar that precedes the year, month, and day has forever stopped at more than 10,000 years ago.
They went with the Tianjia civilization and became the civilization's burial objects.
Qi Heng was slightly distracted, but quickly came to his senses.
It happened more than ten thousand years ago, and no matter how much I think about it now, it will be of no use. Instead of recalling the past, I should think about how to respond to the questions raised by Lan Yi.
According to the system, the current calendar is a continuation of the past calendar of the Tianjia civilization.
The calendar of Tianjia civilization is different from that of ordinary civilizations. Its historical time is calculated from the time when the game starts.
So, the current time is - 23457 in the Tianjia calendar, 13600 in the Galactic Era.
Qi Heng was silent.
The game time has come to more than 23,000 years later, but the fact is that he lost interest after playing for about 10,000 years, and the time he spent playing the game is less than half of the game time.
He remembered that he lost interest more than two hundred years into the Galactic Center Era, but it seemed that the system had continued the calendar of this era.
I didn't expect it's been so long.
Looking back, isn't this year exactly the 13,600th year since the Tianjia civilization conquered all civilizations in the galaxy, named the galaxy, and changed the era calendar, spreading the [Galactic Center Era] to all parts of the starry sea?
However, looking back now, it is completely unworthy of its reputation.
He looked at the four words "Silver Heart Era" and smiled helplessly.
The outside world has long abandoned this name. The Milky Way now uses the Star Sea Era calendar after the end of the Galactic Center Era.
The Galactic Heart Era was established by the Tianjia Civilization and eventually disappeared with the collapse of the Tianjia Civilization. It lasted for less than three or four hundred years.
Over the past few hundred years, if it weren't for the terrifying strength of the Tianjia civilization at the time, which left enough psychological trauma on all the star sea civilizations, there probably wouldn't even be a chance to leave any trace.
After the Galactic Heart Era, the civilizations that joined forces to attack the Tianjia civilization reorganized the current Star Alliance community on the corpse of the "Star Sea Parliament".
At the same time, the Galactic Center Era was erased and changed to the first year of the Star Sea Era, in order to distinguish it from the Galactic Center Era set by the Tianjia Civilization.
As a level six peak civilization, the Galactic Heart Era has been profoundly touched upon. The Tianjia Civilization and the Galactic Heart Era have been bound together since their appearance.
Even the name of the current galaxy was given by the ruler of the Tianjia civilization. The reason it was not changed was that it had been used for too long and involved the history of the entire Xinghai civilization, so it was difficult to change it.
However, even so, few civilizations now know the origin of the name "Milky Way", and the few civilizations that know the inside story will not take the initiative to mention it.
Qi Heng typed and replied to Lan Yi's message.
He first briefly explained to Lan Yi the ins and outs of the Tianjia civilization calendar, and finally replied that changing the era was also a good idea, and let them decide what specific change they wanted.
The current Tianjia civilization is different from the past, and changing the era is also a way to say goodbye to the past.
The rebuilt Tianjia civilization will have a new future, and its style of doing things will probably be completely different from before. Furthermore, it will follow the calendar of the [Galactic Heart Era], which may cause them to suffer from PTSD when they come into contact with certain civilizations in the future.
As soon as he sent the message, Lan Yi quickly replied, asking him which one to choose.
Well, it refers to the several alternative era names given above, and which one he prefers.
Qi Heng remained silent, but continued to reply.
[As long as you like it, I have no objection.]
[The ones you came up with are all good.]
