Bai Yi didn't know why he did this, he just felt that there must be a huge conspiracy behind it. It was very likely that a big pit had been dug above, waiting for him to jump in.

But there was no other way. Even if what awaited him ahead was a sea of ​​fire and swords, Bai Yi had no choice but to continue moving forward blindfolded. Oh, and he had to bring along a naive and innocent burden.

This burden may reveal his whereabouts to the superiors from time to time.

Bai Yi touched his chin and stared at Liu Shasha, lost in deep thought.

As if to change the subject, Liu Shasha took out a small yellow cube from her pocket and threw it into Bai Yi's hand.

"What is this?"

"Mung bean cake, a specialty of our Planet Two."

She peeled back the foil and stuffed the small yellow piece of pastry into her mouth.

"It's delicious, try it."

Bai Yi looked at the familiar packaging bag in his hand and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Where did you get these mung bean seeds?"

"The local administrators gave it to us. They said the mung beans grown on our planet are large and delicious. Every year when the beans are ripe, someone comes to buy them."

Now I understand.

This is treating the people of Luofan as the targets of targeted poverty alleviation.

The Galactic Alliance does this kind of thing all the time.

For some indigenous civilizations that really lack industrial infrastructure, after completing the racial migration, the Alliance Parliament will distribute some easy-to-raise plant seeds to the locals based on the environmental characteristics of the planet.

Then, certain economic support can be provided by purchasing mature crops, and there is also reason to intervene when internal conflicts occur among the indigenous people.

However, he did not expose this beautiful lie. He just peeled off the tin foil wrapped around the surface of the mung bean cake and put the small yellow piece into his mouth.

He didn't know if it was because he hadn't eaten it in a long time, but he suddenly felt that it was indeed a little sweeter than he remembered.

…

This journey was even longer than Bai Yi's journey from the Pass Galaxy to the Review Office.

But Liu Shasha didn't take the warp protection drug like Arel did. She chatted and laughed with Bai Yi all the way, eating and sleeping, and never showed any discomfort.

Besides the fact that the toilet trip took a bit long...

Finally, when he was about to reach the end of the journey, Bai Yi couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Don't you need to take medicine?"

"Take medicine? What medicine? I'm not sick."

Liu Shasha looked confused. She first reached out and touched Bai Yi's forehead, then took out an infrared thermometer from her bag and measured his temperature.

"28 degrees?"

"I'm not a human."

Bai Yi slapped her hand away.

"It consumes electricity to keep the body temperature high all the time. I don't feel cold with the air conditioner anyway, so I just turned it off."

"You are quite frugal."

Liu Shasha smiled.

"Let's get down to business. Don't you need to take a warp protection potion?"

“No need.”

Liu Shasha looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Arelton said that my physique is different from others, so I don't need to eat."

"What's different about you?"

"Do you believe me when I say I am the chosen one?"

"I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either."

Liu Shasha spread her hands.

"But that's what he said."

…

The end of this journey is nothingness.

This is a location about 10,000 light-years upward from the center of the Milky Way. Because it is far away from the Milky Way disk, there are almost no galaxies here.

This region is called the Fermi Bubbles.

The so-called Fermi bubbles are actually giant bubble-shaped structures located at the upper and lower ends of the center of the Milky Way. The temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation within this bubble is slightly higher than other places.

This area is named Fermi Bubbles because it was first discovered by the Fermi detector.

According to current cosmological models, this bubble is believed to have been formed 6 million years ago by the ejection of matter from the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The entire ejection process was very short, lasting only 1 million years, and then it took another 5 million years of diffusion to form the current Fermi bubbles.

Within the confines of the Fermi Bubble, the Galactic Alliance has constructed the largest deep space defense network in human history. The entire network spans 10,000 light-years and consists of nearly 100 million nodes of various sizes and countless artillery batteries.

When Bai Yi arrived, the entire defense network was still in the middle of construction. At this very moment, billions of workers were still working on this invisible Great Wall.

The entire project was called Blackstone Fortress.

Blackstone Fortress is divided into two parts: Upper Blackstone and Lower Blackstone, located at the upper and lower ends of the vertical line of the silver disk respectively.

However, the difference between the two is that Lower Black Stone is completely controlled by life forms. The entire Lower Black Stone Fortress is taken over by the military and is directly under the command of the Galactic Alliance.

However, as a defense node that was put into service first, there are huge problems with Xia Heishi's management system.

Even though Blackstone Fortress uses the most advanced tachyon communication network, and through additional bridges it is almost interference-free.

But information delay remains a serious problem.

What’s worse is that the complex bureaucratic system exacerbates the severity of this problem, because different officers will issue completely different or even contradictory orders after receiving the same intelligence.

This makes coordination between nodes difficult.

The reason for all this, to put it bluntly, is lack of experience.

In the past, the entire galaxy had never carried out a military mobilization of this scale, and all systems and supporting facilities needed to be explored.

Even during the Great Crusade, when the United Nations of Earth simultaneously launched military occupations of multiple star systems along the ecliptic, there had never been a coordinated operation like this, with hundreds of millions of nodes spanning tens of thousands of light years.
