Lan Mu did not believe that Feifu, under the guidance of the Lord God, would be able to come up with any ideas.
His journey continued, and everything he had experienced so far was just a passing cloud.
Soon, he was 200 light years away from Earth. Some stars were very far apart, and one jump was about 10 light years away. There was even one jump that reached 15 light years.
The closer he was to the edge of the Orion Cantilever, the further the distance between the stars.
The largest jump distance was 300 light years, which meant that the technology could only support a distance of 300 light years between two stars.
However, the Orion Cantilever was at least 8,000 light years away from the Sagittarius Cantilever. This distance was a huge gap, and when he reached the edge of the Orion Cantilever, Lan Mu did not know how to cross.
Now, the spaceship had been thinking about this problem.
Feifu had been implanted with a loyal origin program by the Lord God, and because it was not a gift to the Lord God, it took some points from Lan Mu.
According to Feifu's current ability, it could completely upgrade Lan Baishe's technology to the peak of level 3, and after a period of time, it could even soar to level 4.
This was the function of a super intelligent life. It had a complete technology tree, and because it was an intelligent life, its basic construction was almost perfect, which greatly made up for Lan Baishe's huge shortcoming in technology.
In just four days, with its efficiency, Wanderer was brand new, and it became a spaceship that could be used as a flagship of a level 3 civilization.
Ninety-nine percent of the materials were replaced, and the equipment was modified. As for the production workshop and energy generator, they were built on Mars in the flood world.
Of course, the jump engine was a level 4 technology. After Feifu received the otherworld technology package from Lan Mu, it only took an hour to theoretically complete its own technology structure.
It also updated the jump engine to achieve lower energy consumption and a longer jump distance.
However, 300 light years was the limit of this technology, and the problem of crossing the cantilever could not be solved.
"How do we solve this problem? Do we really have to change direction and research superluminal spaceships? "
"Superluminal spaceships are useless. It will take at least a few thousand years to fly there."
"Besides, I don't think the speed of light is so easy to surpass on a macroscopic scale. Space technology is more reliable."
"However, the limit of the jump technology is 300 light years, and the interstellar zone between the cantilever arms is thousands of light years. Unless there is a celestial body with great gravitational force like a star in the middle as a springboard, it is impossible to go there with the current technology."
The scientists could not find a solution no matter how hard they tried. In fact, Lan Mu did not count on them anymore.
Just Feifu's creativity alone was stronger than everyone present.
Even Feifu was helpless, which meant that there was really no way.
Feifu gave him a few methods, but they were all slow and time-consuming.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the edge of the cantilever, Lan Mu thought to himself, 'Is it that difficult to replenish the Life Orbs? Only the heavens knew how the Life Orb had shattered so far away.
"According to the information I got from the Master God at a high price, Sagittarius Constellation has one fragment, Immortal Constellation Constellation has one fragment … and Silver Heart Constellation Constellation has one fragment … Damn it, they're all shattered evenly."
Lan Mu was very worried. He could not wait to meet a truly mature level-4 civilization and ask an experienced level-5 civilization if crossing the cantilever was a huge problem for civilizations below level-5.
But thinking in a positive direction, it was already fortunate that the Life Orbs did not have any fragments outside the Milky Way.
One had to know that the Andromeda Galaxy, which was the closest to the Milky Way, was more than two million light years away from them. That was the distance of despair.
Any random galaxy outside the Milky Way might be a few hundred million light years away. If a fragment really landed there, Lan Mu could return to Earth and enjoy life. He could do whatever he wanted to do and wait until he became a big shot in the Marvel Universe before thinking about replenishing the Life Orbs.
"There must be a way …"
Lan Mu was not someone who gave up so easily. He had a faint feeling that replenishing the Life Orbs was very important to him.
If he really went back and waited for a random transformation to solve the problem, it would be too passive.
Also, he gradually began to believe that if he did not replenish the Life Orbs, 25 days would be his limit. The probability of a super powerful transformation would be extremely low.
The interval between the new transformation was white for 10 days. It was another transformation that added icing on the cake. He hoped that the functionality would not be too bad.
"Special Envoy, the next jump will be the last star on the Orion Cantilever. There will be no more paths to go."
Lan Mu said, "Then jump along the edge. If there are level-4 civilizations nearby, we should meet them!"
Find other level-4 civilizations.
This was a stupid method. Among the plans that Feifu had proposed, it was one of the more feasible ones. It was also the one that would take the least time. It was more dependent on luck.
Feifu's idea was that if there were one or a few veteran level-4 civilizations in the Orion Cantilever, they might also want to cross the cantilever but have no choice. They might use some stupid method to travel at the speed of light and forcefully fly over …
If a civilization spent so much effort to cross the cantilever, would they not open up a channel? They would definitely set up wormholes at both ends! This way, they would be able to easily cross the cantilever in the future.
Of course, wormholes were a little difficult for level-4 civilizations. However, along the way, they would leave behind a huge gravitational field or artificial small stars. Placing one every 300 light years would be equivalent to a springboard, a transit station, and finally form a 'Interstellar Highway across the cantilever' that was 8,000 light years long.
This project was too vast. It was not something that an ordinary civilization could do.
…
On the seventh day of the interval, Wanderer had been doing boring jumps.
During this period, they encountered many ruins of civilizations.
Some civilizations were at least level-3, and their glory could be seen when they were alive. However, they had been destroyed by the war. All life had been massacred.
There were all kinds of strange ways of killing, and the level of resistance of the civilizations was different. It was as if they were unrelated wars.
However, Lan Mu had specially gone to check. Stone monuments of the same style had been erected at every civilization's ruins. Ordinary stones had been carved with unknown words through ancient methods.
It looked like a tombstone left behind by the murderer.
"That's strange. This means that the murderer is from the same civilization … but the time difference is thousands of years. Is there something wrong with it? They killed others and left behind tombstone-like things. Is it trying to show something? "Lan Mu was puzzled.
At the edge of the cantilever, a total of four related ruins were found. They were all killed by the same enemy.
Feifu quickly finished the analysis. "The time of the destruction of the four civilizations was at least a thousand years ago, and the latest was ten years ago … From the ruins of the war a thousand years ago, there was a long and drawn-out war. However, the wars of the other civilizations seemed to be getting easier and easier. The most recent one was already crushed …"
"So, the murderer's strength improved by leaps and bounds in a thousand years? That's okay. A thousand years is not short, "Lan Mu said.
"No, Master. The first civilization to be destroyed was only at level-2 … The most recent one was at the peak of level-3, "Feifu said.
"…" Lan Mu said, "I understand. This murderer went from level-2 to level-4 in a thousand years … Hmm? How did this civilization cross the galaxy before? "
Feifu said, "That's the problem. It seems to have flown by force … There was an interval of 800 years between the destruction of the first civilization and the destruction of the second, which is still reasonable. However, there was only 200 years between the destruction of the second civilization and the destruction of the third. As for the destruction of the last civilization, there was only a gap of more than ten years. "
Lan Mu said, "A spaceship at the speed of light? This civilization forcibly increased its sailing speed from a few hundredths of the speed of light to the speed of light step by step? "
How unreasonable was this development? It was as if time was free. There was constant war, constant navigation, and constant increase in speed.
It was as if all technological development was completed on the fleet, and there was never the option of going home to rest.
One had to know that the other party was always sailing, but their technology was rapidly developing. They became stronger as they traveled, continued to fight, continued to travel, and continued to become stronger …
"Another nomadic race? This race either has an extremely long lifespan, or … their society is on the spaceship, always floating in the universe … "
Feifu quickly analyzed the words on the stone tablet and confirmed that it was indeed a tombstone, a narcissistic work written only for himself.
There was no doubt that it was narcissistic. Which civilization would leave a tombstone at the ruins after destroying another civilization? How long did it take? How many armed forces did it destroy? How many lives did it kill?
Wasn't this crazy? Of course, the reason was also written: "It was for the great IELTS civilization that had disappeared in the universe. All civilizations with interstellar warfare capabilities are guilty!"
Lan Mu felt that something was not right. The IELTS civilization had already died? Then why did the murderer call himself the IELTS civilization?
Moreover, such chuunibyou behavior did not seem like something a mature civilization would do. It was impossible for every individual in a civilization to be so chuunibyou, right?
"Why does it feel like … this is not a civilization, but an independent individual …"
Feifu said, "Yes, this is the most probable possibility. At the same time, it also explains the disappearance of the IELTS civilization and why he called himself the IELTS civilization.
"There is a high probability that this murderer is an individual or a small group left behind after the destruction of the IELTS civilization."
Lan Mu asked, "A homeless child? Is it possible for an individual or a small group to develop technology by leaps and bounds? "
Feifu said, "Yes … For example, with a super AI like me … I alone can be a civilization."
Lan Mu squinted.
