Bai Yi had never really thought about naming the galaxy.
For a long time, he had been referring to the galaxy he was in as J. But since Sister Kachi had brought it up, he took the opportunity to learn about everyone's situation.
Only after asking did he realize that most people in the Border Guard chat group had given their galaxies names. Like Kachi's Dark Tetrad, it was because the planets in the fourth orbit of her galaxy had very low surface reflectivity, appearing almost black from space.
The Sharia galaxy is called Hongfang, named after a planet with life within it. That planet didn't develop intelligent life, but it did have a unique plant that grew from the equator to the poles.
And just like maple trees on Earth, the leaves of these plants turn a beautiful fiery red in certain seasons. Plus, the land area on this planet is larger than the ocean, so the planet can be seen from space in different seasons.
"So what should the galaxy I'm in be called?"
After seeing off Kachi and the other two, Bai Yi had been thinking about this problem.
If anything, J didn't have any notable features. The galaxy itself wasn't particularly impressive in terms of hardware, and the Luofan people, as highly intelligent beings, weren't particularly special.
The Milky Way lacks everything except humans, especially intelligent creatures, of which there are a lot.
Looking at it this way, the only thing we can show off is J's geographical location. But how does the geographical location relate to the name?
Location, location.
Bai Yi suddenly thought of the ancient pass. As an important endpoint in the subspace channel, J is worthy of the name of a pass.
Pass Galaxy, register!
Border guards love each other.
Ning Xue: "@Bai Yi, we saw you naming someone."
Shalia: "I understand it's called a pass, but why is it called Pass C11?"
Bai Yi: "Because the name cannot be repeated."
Ansuniya, the Daughter of Darkness: "..."
Does the universe have an end? Are the stars in the universe infinite? This question remains unanswered. Although humans have access to subspace and possess the means to travel faster than the speed of light, to this day, no one has yet been able to determine the exact shape of the universe.
When he is bored, Bai Yi will become a philosopher. He will find a flat ground to lie down like the ancients, and look up at the black velvet night sky.
The new Mars has excellent observation conditions because there is no atmosphere. Therefore, no matter whether it is day or night, as long as there is no sun in the field of vision, you can see the stars in the sky clearly.
"Nanmen 1762, Kaitian 1137, Abram..." Bai Yi counted the stars like an insomniac counting sheep, until a dialog box suddenly popped up in his mind.
After seeing the words clearly, Bai Yi was ecstatic.
The transformation of the new Mars has been fully completed and the planetary reactor is about to be ignited.
In the very center of the new Mars, beneath a protective shell several kilometers thick, the planetary reactor is undergoing its first official ignition.
Unlike any other reactor, the planetary fortress spacecraft requires a huge and long-lasting energy supply to drive its huge hull. In order to drive this behemoth, the scientists of the Galactic Alliance designed a giant perpetual motion machine.
Of course, not in the traditional amateur scientific sense. The planetary fortress reactor is actually a massive zero-point energy extraction device. This device extracts energy from the spontaneous quantum fluctuations of space. Simply put, the planetary fortress's energy is stolen from outer space. As long as space itself exists, the reactor can continue to operate.
Preparation for the first ignition of the main reactor.
Five minutes left.
Auxiliary stack connected, power 60%, 80%, 95%...
Main energy pipeline access.
The secondary pipeline protection circuit is activated.
The zero-element coating integrity inspection passed.
Finally, the safety is released and the injection machine is forced to start.

With a dull thud, the six firing pins of the forced input machine slammed fiercely into the quantum exciter. Quantum fluctuations in space were stimulated into a macroscopic form, with some particles associated with positive energy remaining in a collapsed state before they could annihilate each other with negative particle pairs.
These particles were accelerated along the magnetic field in the core of the planetary reaction, and beams of blue-purple particles began to appear. Soon, the entire star was submerged in a sea of particles.
The quantum exciter is operating normally and the reactor has started to output positively.
At this point, the planetary reactor ignition could be officially declared a success. Following successful ignition, energy began flowing out of the reactor through pipelines. All the weapons and equipment previously deployed on the surface of New Mars, in standby mode, began to be brought online in batches, including the large tachyon cannon arrays in orbit, which also began receiving energy from the planetary reactor through radiation.
The entire new Mars was trembling, but this tremor was not caused by the reactor. The 1,100 steering engines arranged at the planet's equator began to fire, and they ejected huge tail streams in the direction of the rotation of the earth, which would provide a powerful reverse thrust for the engines.
Under this reverse thrust, the new Mars's rotation speed gradually slowed. Because the planet had been previously transformed into an alloy structure and a specialized support structure installed at the bottom of the planetary engine, the enormous force of the engine had no impact on the planet. Even with over 1,100 engines running at full power, there was no need to worry about tearing the earth apart.
The deceleration lasted for 45 standard galactic days. After it was completed, the rotation of the new Mars was synchronized with its orbital period. The planet seemed to be tidally locked to the star of Pass C11. One side of the planet always faced the sun, while the other side was in eternal night.
Then the engine was advanced to start the test run.
The new Mars Fortress spacecraft has six propulsion engines, each with a range of over 200 kilometers. When operating at full power, the exhaust plumes they create are even longer than the planet itself. These six engines propel the Fortress spacecraft at a remarkable rate. In just one test run, the perihelion of the new Mars was raised by over 1,500 kilometers.
