Outside the porthole, it was still pitch black.
Starlight from infinity adorned this dark curtain like jewels.
Looking at the outside scenery, which was almost unchanged from before, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but have a slight illusion.
The wormhole travel failed?
The fleet is still standing still and hasn't moved.
The next second, Zero's completion of the fleet repositioning task dispelled any lingering illusion in Lü Yongchang's mind.
This wormhole journey allowed the human fleet to traverse a full 1 million light-years!
Upon learning this information, Lü Yongchang felt a moment of mental disorientation.
That's too fast!
The fleet's actual travel distance was only 10 billion kilometers, but in the three-dimensional universe, it spanned a full 1 million light-years!
1 million light-years! The human fleet would need to travel non-stop for 100 years!
Suddenly, Lü Yongchang remembered something. He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked eagerly at the holographic projection in front of him.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing that all the observation data had been stored in the pre-prepared optical hard disk array.
This is a treasure!
Going forward, most of the theoretical research work of the Academy of Sciences will depend on these precious observational data!
A dazzling light flashed past the porthole, attracting Lü Yongchang's attention.
When he turned his head and saw the scene outside the porthole, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
The silicone ray extracted three blue giant stars at once and is currently "soaking" inside them.
It seems that opening a wormhole requires a significant amount of resources...
"Silicon Ray, can the wormhole device still be used?"
Lü Yongchang asked the silicon ray, which was immersed in a stellar bath.
Of course.
However... this thing is one of the first wormhole devices manufactured by the Empire. It's too old, the activation interval is a bit long, and the travel distance is a bit short...
Lu Yongchang's lips twitched again.
A single trip covers a distance of over 1 million light-years, and you call that short?
The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.54 million light-years away from the Milky Way, and it took them more than 5,000 years to complete this long journey!
Lu Yongchang was immediately filled with countless emotions.
Ultimately, it was because his vision was too narrow.
"How long is the startup interval?"
[Probably... around fifty years, since it's an older model. Shortening the timeframe might damage its internal structure.]
“Fifty years…” Lu Yongchang muttered to himself, “Including the fleet’s normal voyages, the journey that was originally 1.5 million light-years can now be completed in just fifty years.”
"Only 1800 years!"
"We will be able to reach the M87 star system in 1800 years!"
[Ahem... there's one more question.]
[It's about energy consumption...]
The message from Silicon Ray was filled with embarrassment: "[The wormhole device consumes a lot of energy. If it's activated every fifty years... my little universe might not have enough star reserves...]"
This familiar style made Lü Yongchang chuckle to himself.
Well, we're back to square one.
"Don't worry, the Enroget civilization's microcosm has a large reserve of stars."
Finally, Lü Yongchang added, "It's all you can eat."
...
Just as the atmosphere in the command center was becoming more cheerful, a red warning message appeared before all the academicians.
【warn! 】
[An energy burst and spacetime fluctuation of unknown intensity have been detected!]
[Warning: Signals from the first-tier ultra-long-range detectors have been lost!]
The smile on Lü Yongchang's face vanished instantly, and he quickly flipped through the observation data that was refreshing like a waterfall in the holographic projection.
Unsurprisingly, the location of the spacetime fluctuations and energy bursts was the Andromeda Galaxy.
Surprisingly, the intensity of this spacetime fluctuation and energy burst was extraordinary.
After a rough calculation, Lü Yongchang arrived at a result that even he himself could not believe.
If there are no problems with the observation data from the ultra-long-distance probe, the energy that erupted in the core region of Andromeda just now even exceeded the energy produced by the direct collision of two Andromeda galaxies!
Not to mention human civilization, even the silicon ray, which was enjoying a stellar bath, poked out a tiny head and cast a puzzled look at the Andromeda Galaxy, 1.02 million light-years away.
What exactly happened?

Lu Yongchang quickly analyzed the data transmitted back by the first-tier probes that had "unfortunately perished," trying to find some clues.
A few minutes later.
With the help of zero data processing, Lü Yongchang gradually grasped some information.
"He's gone mad..."
"Have the pastoralists and the cleaners completely gone mad?"
What exactly happened in the Andromeda Galaxy?
Because the two are too far apart, the silicon ray, which did not deploy a detector in advance, is currently in a state of complete confusion.
After a moment of silence, Lü Yongchang responded, "Near the central black hole of the Andromeda Galaxy, there seems to be an extremely large-scale energy release phenomenon."
"At the same time, a large amount of material appeared out of thin air."
"According to our calculations..."
"A massive quasar structure will appear at the core of the Andromeda Galaxy, with its black hole jets reaching 200,000 light-years in length."
"Whether by coincidence or design, the directions of these two black hole jets happened to sweep across most of the Andromeda Galaxy."
At this point, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath and gave his final conclusion: "Andromeda is finished, completely finished!"
The words fell.
The Kuaizi Channel fell into a long silence.
After an unknown amount of time, as the light of the blue giant star where the silicone ray was located gradually dimmed to its lowest point, it suddenly moved, plunged into the second blue giant star, and sent out a tachyon message.
This phenomenon is caused by the death of a large number of four-dimensional beings.
Although the specific details are unclear, the pastoral faction likely achieved its goals in this conflict.
The Cleaners' ring accelerator node in the Andromeda Galaxy is likely doomed.
...
The rest of the Andromeda Galaxy's edge.
【Silk】struggled its way out of the wormhole and appeared beside a blue giant star.
Its core suffered severe damage.
The immediate priority is to find enough energy to repair the core and stabilize its dimensional structure.
As for that strange human civilization from before...
We can make plans when [Shi] comes back—as long as [Shi] is around, they have no chance of escaping!
Just as it was planning its next move, a violent fluctuation in spacetime and dimensions came from the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy.
[Silk] stared blankly at the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy.
This is……
The final plan?!
Has the [time] disappeared?!
For a moment, it could hardly believe its senses.
P.S.: Thanks to Haoyuezhidong for the great health care!
Thank you so much, sir! You're awesome!
