Chapter 470, The Center of the Milky Way
On the channel leading to the center of the Milky Way from the Orion spiral arm, a team of more than 100 space battleships and spaceships is advancing rapidly in the void. The team is not large, but it is well-equipped. All space battleships are the latest empire Technological biotechnology battleships, and all of them are large space battleships with a mass of more than 100 billion tons, equipped with the most advanced warp speed engine and nuclear fusion power system.

At the same time, these space battleships are also armed to the teeth, magnetic energy cannons, level 8 energy attack cannons, quantum foam bombs, energy shields... Although there are only 100 space battleships, in terms of combat power, they are enough to easily deal with tens of thousands of ordinary civilized warships.

The team did not use the warp drive to rush in the void, but instead flew continuously between galaxies through time-space ocean current channels.

"We will soon arrive at the Loulan galaxy. After passing the Loulan galaxy, we will enter the center of the Milky Way. It is really exciting. I really want to see how prosperous the center of the Milky Way is."

Inside a space battleship, Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei chatted with each other very relaxedly. As the masters of the empire's cosmic and astronomical circles, this time the two of them also followed the empire's Milky Way Center Scientific Research Group to go to the center of the Milky Way for field investigation. Tang Boyuan's mouth The Loulan galaxy was renamed from the Ibiza galaxy. The Ibiza galaxy was the name of the Kolov Empire era. The empire replaced the Kolov Empire. The first thing to do was to change the name.

"More than 95% of the stars in the entire galaxy are gathered in the center of the galaxy, and almost 98% of the civilizations in the entire galaxy were born. The mass of these substances in the center of the galaxy accounts for more than 99% of the total mass of the galaxy."

"The average thickness of the center of the Milky Way is 1.5 light-years, and the thickest part is even 3 light-years. The diameter of the center of the Milky Way is about 5 light-years. Because it is a barred spiral galaxy, the Milky Way can be divided into northern and southern galaxies. Where we are Orion's spiral arm belongs to the northern Milky Way."

Dong Zhifei on the side opened the virtual star map. He has already kept the data of the entire Milky Way in his mind. With the continuous expansion of the empire's territory, the scientists of the empire have a deeper understanding of the Milky Way. Of course, they want to know more about the Milky Way. To further understand the Milky Way, it is definitely indispensable to go to the center of the Milky Way to investigate the Milky Way.

"The center of the galaxy is the essence of the whole galaxy. Compared with the center of the galaxy, the other side of the starlight is just a small oasis in the desert, and the center of the galaxy is a vast tropical rainforest, which has bred countless civilization."

Tang Boyuan looked in the direction of the center of the Milky Way. The stars were shining brightly, very dazzling, but like a galaxy composed of stars, it occupied a large area of ​​the starry sky.

The research team is constantly moving forward in the void. Every time they reach a galaxy, the cosmic astronomers are very busy, because the cosmic starry sky observed by each galaxy is different. Recording this information in detail can improve the star map. , to draw a more accurate and detailed map of the Milky Way.

The Loulan galaxy, formerly the Ibiza galaxy, has now become the most important garrison galaxy of the Imperial Frontier Corps, where the empire maintains a force of 100 fleets at all times, counting the soldiers of the empire and their families, etc., more than Two billion people live in the Loulan galaxy.

A population of 20 billion is gathered in one galaxy. Only the galaxies near the Centaurus galaxy in today's empire can have such a large population. After all, the territory of the empire is too big now. The number of living planets is close to tens of millions, and the population of the empire, even after hundreds of years of compulsory and encouraging birth control policies, has only just exceeded one trillion, that is, one trillion.

Most of the living planets in the empire actually have no living population on them. Many planets are uninhabited and can only be used as primitive ecological planets for blockade, waiting for the population to expand before they can be developed and utilized.

The Loulan galaxy has more than 20 planets, 4 living planets, and a population of 20 billion can be easily accommodated without the slightest pressure. The closer to the center of the Milky Way, the richer these star systems are, not only the number of planets changes There are more, and more life planets are bred.

The investigation team did not stay here for a long time on Loulan Star, and continued to fly towards the center of the Milky Way after some resupply.

"Phew! What a rich vitality. No wonder the center of the Milky Way can become the cradle of civilization. Even in the void, one can feel such a rich vitality of life. One can imagine how rich the vitality is on the living planet."

Having just entered the edge of the center of the Milky Way, Tang Boyuan couldn't help being excited, because even when he was flying in the void, he could already feel the strong vitality. Sensitive.

"Under the nourishment of such a strong vitality, countless strange lives should be born here in the center of the Milky Way. The flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals that our ancients said can all become spirits. I guess it should be similar in the center of the Milky Way. These civilized races should not be limited to humanoid species."

Dong Zhifei nodded. The scientists of the empire also have a deep understanding of Yuanli. They know that Yuanli is the foundation of life. Where there is strong vitality, life will be very prosperous, and where vitality is thin, life will be very withered.

"It seems that black holes can not only attract matter in the universe, but also attract invisible and intangible things like vitality. Otherwise, the vitality here in the center of the Milky Way should not be so strong, and on the other side of the starlight, Because of the attraction of the small black hole at the core, the vitality here on the other side of the starlight is also very strong."

Tang Boyuan looked into the void. After passing the Loulan galaxy, he had reached the edge of the center of the Milky Way. Because it is on the edge, the civilizations occupying this place are all weak civilizations, many of which are even Level 1 or Level 2 cosmic civilizations. level, level 3 cosmic civilizations are considered powerful civilizations here.

Although it is the edge of the center of the Milky Way, the density of stars here is already comparable to that of the other side of the starlight. Within a distance of hundreds of astronomical units, stars gather together. The civilization here can even directly enter the void without going through space-time ocean currents. Flying can reach another star system.

If this is calculated by the distance of several light-years between the stars in the Orion ancestor spiral arm or the sub-spiral arm, and relying on normal flight to cross the void in the void, it will take decades, hundreds of years, or several years. Calculated over a hundred years.

Tang Boyuan looked at the virtual star map. This star map is connected to the quantum computer, and the quantum computer is connected to various detection instruments, signal receivers, analyzers, etc. on the battleship, which can automatically analyze the received electromagnetic waves, Analyze light waves, radiation, etc., so as to perfect and trim the star map.

As more and more signals are received, the star map also begins to become clearer. On the star map toward the center of the Milky Way, there are countless bright spots forming a dazzling area, each of which is a star. It's densely packed, but it's like gathering together for a meeting.

"Next, we have dozens of routes to choose from. The space between star systems is too dense. At this time, the channels of space-time ocean currents are like the dense rivers in Jiangnan water towns, extending in all directions."

Looking at the bright spots on the star map, there are dozens of red lines connecting them. Each red line is a space-time ocean current channel. These red lines form a large network.

"Didi! This is the territory of the Tulun civilization, a level 2 cosmic civilization. Please inform your fleet of your identity."

Just when Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei were thinking about which route to go next, people from the Tulun civilization, the owner of this galaxy, had already started contacting the investigation team.

As a level 2 cosmic civilization and the civilization at the center of the Milky Way, the Tulun civilization is still aware of its status, so the tone is very polite. After all, the hundreds of large space battleships here by the imperial investigation team are enough to wipe out the Tulun civilization. .

Under normal circumstances, in the center of the Milky Way, if you are just passing by, you only need to inform the passing civilizations of your identity, especially for these level 2 cosmic civilizations, they dare not have any opinions at all. A powerful civilization doesn't even dare to ask.

However, the Empire’s spaceship entered the center of the galaxy for the first time. The civilizations at the center of the galaxy know very little about the Empire. Even those civilizations that are very close to the Orion’s spiral arm rarely know the style of the Empire’s warships and the symbols of the Empire, etc. .

Naturally, I also want to send a consultation. Behind these level 2 cosmic civilizations are galactic overlords. These galactic overlords must have requirements for the spaceships, space battleships, etc. that pass through their territory. At least they must be clear. That civilization How many battleships and spaceships pass by where on their own territory.

I simply informed myself of my identity, and the inspection team did not encounter any troubles. Even the tolls that are very popular here in the Orion spiral arm passed through more than a dozen galaxies in the territory of the Tulun civilization without paying. Go to the center of the Milky Way.

The name of the empire has already spread in the Milky Way, and the Tulun civilization is also very clear that only the Empire reaches its territory from the direction of Orion's spiral arm. This is now a hot topic of discussion among countless civilizations in the Milky Way, and the newly promoted galactic overlord has finally begun. Send the team into the center of the galaxy.

As for the reason why a civilization of the galactic overlord level enters the center of the galaxy, this is not something that the Tulun civilization, a level 2 cosmic civilization, cares about. It is wise to give way honestly.

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests!
