Chapter 470, Center of the Milky Way

On the route from the Orion spiral arm to the center of the Milky Way, a team of more than 100 space battleships and spaceships is advancing rapidly in the void. The team is not large in size, but it is well-equipped. All space battleships are the latest biotechnology battleships of the empire, and all of them are large space battleships with a mass of more than 10 billion tons, equipped with the most advanced warp engines and nuclear fusion power systems.

At the same time, these space battleships are also armed to the teeth, with 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 warships of ordinary civilizations.

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

"We will soon reach 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."

In a space battleship, Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei chatted with each other very easily. As the masters of the imperial cosmic astronomy community, this time the two of them also followed the imperial Milky Way Center Scientific Expedition Team to prepare for a field investigation in the center of the Milky Way. The Loulan Galaxy mentioned by Tang Boyuan was renamed from the Ivisa Galaxy. The Ivisa Galaxy was the name of the Kolov Empire. The Empire replaced the Kolov Empire, and the first thing it did was to change its name.

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

"The average thickness of the center of the Milky Way reaches 15,000 light years, and the thickest place is even 30,000 light years. The diameter of the center of the entire Milky Way is about 50,000 light years. Because it is a barred spiral galaxy, the Milky Way can be divided into the Northern and Southern Milky Ways. The Orion spiral arm where we are belongs to the Northern Milky Way."

Dong Zhifei on the side opened the virtual star map. He had already memorized the data about the entire Milky Way in his mind. As the empire's territory continued to expand, the empire's scientists had a deeper understanding of the Milky Way. Of course, if you want to further understand the Milky Way, you must go to the center of the Milky Way to investigate the Milky Way.

"The center of the Milky Way is the most essential part of the entire Milky Way. Compared with the center of the Milky Way, the other side of the starlight is just a small oasis in the desert, while the center of the Milky Way is a vast tropical rainforest that has nurtured countless civilizations."

Tang Boyuan looked towards the center of the Milky Way. The starlight was bright and dazzling, like a galaxy composed of stars, occupying a large area of ​​the starry sky.

The expedition team continued to move forward in the void. Every time they arrived at a galaxy, cosmic astronomers were very busy, because the cosmic starry sky observed by each galaxy was different. Recording this information in detail can improve the star map and draw a more accurate and detailed Milky Way star map.

The Loulan Galaxy, once the Ivisa Galaxy, has now become the most important garrisoned galaxy of the Imperial Frontier Corps. Here, the Empire always maintains a force of 100 fleets. Including the Empire's soldiers and their families, more than 2 billion people live in the Loulan Galaxy.

2 billion people gather in one galaxy. Now, only those galaxies near the Centaurus Galaxy can have such a large population. After all, the territory of the empire is too large. The number of life planets in the sub-spiral arms and the starlight beyond the shore is nearly 10 million. Even after hundreds of years of compulsory and encouraging birth policies, the population of the empire has just exceeded one trillion, that is, one trillion.

Most of the life planets in the empire actually have no life population. Many planets are uninhabited and can only be used as primitive ecological planets for blockade, waiting for the population to expand before development and utilization.

The Loulan Galaxy has more than 20 planets and 4 life planets. 2 billion people can be easily accommodated without any pressure. The closer to the center of the Milky Way, the richer these star systems are. Not only the number of planets becomes more, but also more life planets are bred.

The expedition team did not stay in Loulan Star for a long time. After some supplies, they continued to fly towards the center of the Milky Way.

"Wow! Such 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 rich vitality. One can imagine how rich the vitality is on the life planet."

Just after entering the edge of the center of the Milky Way, Tang Boyuan couldn't help but get excited, because even when flying in the void, he could already feel the rich vitality. As a high-level Yuanli warrior, he was very sensitive to vitality.

"Under the nourishment of such rich vitality, countless strange lives should be born in the center of the Milky Way. Our ancients said that flowers, trees, birds and beasts can all become spirits. I estimate that it should be similar in the center of the Milky Way. The forms of 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 Yuanli is rich, life is very prosperous, and where Yuanli is thin, life is very withered.

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

Tang Boyuan looked into the void. After passing the Loulan Galaxy, it is the edge of the center of the Milky Way. Because it is on the edge, the civilizations occupying here are some weak civilizations, many of which are even at the level of level 1 and level 2 cosmic civilizations. Level 3 cosmic civilizations are considered powerful civilizations here.

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

If we calculate the distance between stars in the Orion spiral arm or the secondary spiral arm, which is several light years, it would take decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years to cross the void by normal flight.

Tang Boyuan looked at the virtual star map, which was connected to the quantum computer, and the quantum computer was connected to various detection instruments, signal receivers, analyzers, etc. on the warship, which could automatically analyze the received electromagnetic waves, light waves, radiation, etc., so as to improve and trim the star map.

As more and more signals were received, the star map began to become clear. In the star map in the direction of the center of the Milky Way, countless bright spots formed a dazzling area. Each of these light spots was a star, densely packed, as if they were gathered together for a meeting.

"Next, we have dozens of routes to choose from. The star systems are too dense. These space-time ocean current channels are like the densely distributed rivers in the Jiangnan water town, and they are connected in all directions."

Looking at the star map, each bright spot is connected by dozens of red lines. Each red line is a space-time ocean current channel, and these red lines form a large network.

"Ding! This is the territory of the Level 2 cosmic civilization Tulun civilization. Please report your identity."

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

As a Level 2 cosmic civilization and a civilization at the center of the Milky Way, the Tulun civilization is still clear about its status, so its tone is also very polite. After all, the hundreds of large space battleships here of the imperial expedition team are enough to destroy the Tulun civilization.

Generally speaking, if you are just passing by in the center of the Milky Way, you only need to inform the civilization you are passing by of your identity. Especially for these Level 2 cosmic civilizations, they dare not have any opinions at all. Sometimes, when they encounter many powerful civilizations, they dare not even ask.

However, this is the first time that the Empire's spacecraft has entered the center of the Milky Way. The civilizations in the center of the Milky Way know very little about the Empire. Even those civilizations that are very close to the Orion Arm rarely know the style of the Empire's warships and the Empire's logo, etc.

Naturally, they also have to send a consultation. Behind these Level 2 cosmic civilizations are galactic overlords. These galactic overlords must have requirements for spaceships, space battleships, etc. passing through their territory. At least they must know how many battleships and spaceships of that civilization have passed through their territory.

After simply informing their identities, the expedition team did not encounter any trouble. Even the tolls that are very popular in the Orion Arm did not need to be paid. They passed through more than a dozen star systems in the Tulun civilization and headed towards the center of the Milky Way.

The name of the Empire has spread throughout the Milky Way, and the Tulun Civilization is also very clear that the Empire is the only one that can reach its territory from the direction of the Orion spiral arm. This is now a hot topic discussed by countless civilizations in the Milky Way. The new galactic overlord has finally begun to send teams into the center of the Milky Way.

As for what a galactic overlord-level civilization is doing when entering the center of the Milky Way, this is not something that Tulun Civilization, a level 2 cosmic civilization, cares about. It is wise to honestly give way.
