A little-known corner of the Enrogete Alliance territory.
This star field is extremely desolate; there is no trace of any civilization within a radius of twenty light-years.
It was "artificially" cleared out—the original inhabitants of nearby star systems moved away from this region under the "persuasion" of the Enroget civilization.
In the central region of this star field, there exists a beautiful nebula that glows with a purplish-red light.
That was a product of a supernova explosion.
Based on preliminary data from human civilization and research on the Enroget civilization, this supernova explosion likely occurred approximately 200,000 years ago.
On a cosmic scale, this is a very short time.
This spectacular supernova explosion also successfully sent one star to its grave—it became a neutron star.
...
Earth year 3750.
With a spacetime fluctuation, a “brand new” fleet appeared in the empty universe 0.1 light-years away from the neutron star.
The surrounding area was sparse nebular material, but compared to the vastness of interstellar space, it already seemed quite crowded.
These nebular materials are slowly spreading outwards.
This is the last cry of this star to the universe before its death.
The fleet shut down its warp drives and hovered silently amidst the glittering nebula.
Although the warp drive has been iterated several times, it is still somewhat inadequate in the face of extreme celestial objects.
A few seconds later.
The antimatter engine began to emit increasingly intense radiation, and the human fleet once again began to advance towards the target area.
...
Time passed slowly.
The human fleet finally approached its target.
A massive planet that is entirely dark gray.
The planet's surface was perfectly flat, with almost no gaps or protrusions, and no extraneous devices.
This is definitely not a naturally occurring object.
Any intelligent being could draw this simple conclusion with just a glance.
Compared to a planet with a diameter of 150,000 kilometers, humanity's fleet is as insignificant as a sesame seed.
Under Zero's precise control, the fleet slowly entered its synchronous orbit.
In the distance, a small bright spot shines with a blinding light—that is the remnant of a star, a neutron star.
According to information from the Enrogett Civilization Database, Zero easily found its "entrance".
It was a massive chasm stretching across the surface of the planet.
The straight crack is 50,000 kilometers long and more than 10,000 kilometers wide.
What does this mean?
Even Chi You could easily enter the entrance to this fortress!
That is the largest megastructure ever built in the history of human civilization!
For a planet with a diameter of 150,000 kilometers, this crack is nothing.
But for humanity, this is an absolutely terrifying abyss!
The dark cracks stretched inward, instilling a sense of fear in one's heart.
The camera zooms out.
The Earth, which is tens of thousands of meters long, hovers silently above this abyss like an ant.
A few hours later.
Dozens of experimental ships broke away from the fleet and, propelled by antimatter engines, slowly headed toward the bottomless abyss.
...
Earth Command Center.
Lu Yongchang sat in his seat, intently watching the real-time images transmitted back by the experimental ship.
For safety reasons, there are no personnel inside these experimental ships, and all operations are performed from scratch.
The enormous holographic projection delivers an unparalleled immersive viewing experience.
As the dark abyss gradually enlarged, even Lü Yongchang subconsciously held his breath.
A sense of fear, lurking deep within one's DNA, also arises spontaneously.
suddenly.
A light appeared in the abyss.
An orange-yellow light of unknown origin was evenly distributed across every corner of the entrance, dispelling all the darkness in the crack.
The atmosphere in the command center was very calm, without any surprise.
According to the Enroget civilization's records, this is normal.
The energy supply within the ruins was not interrupted, and this orange-yellow light served as a welcoming light.
Lu Yongchang frowned almost imperceptibly.
To his surprise, the ruins did not have a friend-or-foe identification function.
Perhaps it was intentional, or perhaps there was a malfunction in the functional module...
In conclusion, these experimental ships appear to be safe at present.
After the orange-yellow welcoming light appeared, a traction force precisely appeared around these experimental ships.
This force, though seemingly gentle, easily neutralized the experimental ship's antimatter engine thrust, directly luring the ship into the ruins.
There was still little surprise in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
Advanced applications of the unified field are also achievable by modern human civilization, only with less exaggerated power.
As the experimental ship entered the "crack," the images in the holographic projection also underwent significant changes.
The sky and the ground are orange-yellow.
Those were two straight, smooth walls extending forward—the edges of the “crack”.
Because the width of the crack reached an astonishing ten thousand kilometers, this "world" also appeared extremely vast.
The tiny experimental fleet moved steadily forward, or rather, flew inward, between the orange-colored sky and the traction force.
Although he had expected it, Lü Yongchang was still deeply shocked by the scene.
With such a massive entrance and exit, he couldn't even imagine how enormous this civilization's starships must be!
...
Time flies.
After flying more than 3,000 kilometers inward, the experimental ship's speed gradually slowed down under the influence of the traction field, and a huge wall appeared before everyone's eyes.
According to the records of the Enroget civilization, this was a "checkpoint" for entering the outer area of the ruins.
Or rather, it is the port gate of this fortress.
As the traction field gradually dissipated, the warship landed on the "ground"—inside the "crack," there was a lateral gravitational force.
The strength is not very high, only about 5g.
For the experimental ship and the scientific research robots inside, this amount of gravity is negligible.
Just as the experimental ship successfully landed, a beam of green light emanated from the giant gate in front of it and quickly scanned the ship.
Electromagnetic wave signals then appeared, using the most common AC frequency—1420 MHz.
The information comes with its own dictionary and translation program.
After a brief wait, lines of concise formulas appeared before everyone in the command center.
Looking at the familiar formula, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath.
Grand Unified Theory.
