Chapter 486, The Turbulent Galaxy (Niu Nan's 10,000 Rewards and More)

In the Corunna galaxy, the Red Spider Pirates readily transferred 100 trillion Purple Wheel Coins to Tang Boyuan through the Galaxy Bank, and cleared the void around the expedition team.

"Huh! Fortunately, the Red Spider Pirates were finally afraid of us. If they really attacked recklessly, we would not be able to escape death, and we would definitely not be able to wait for the rescue of the Frontier Corps."

After receiving the transfer and clearing the void, Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they were sweating in their hands. Although they had quantum foam bombs, the number they carried was limited. At most, they could only block a few waves of attacks from the opponent. In the face of the absolute number gap, the more than 100 space battleships in their hands were really not enough.

"I will suggest to His Majesty that we develop our empire's energy shield technology to level 8 as soon as possible. As long as the energy shield technology can reach level 8, we don't have to be afraid of general level 8 energy attacks."

Dong Zhifei nodded. The empire's warships, in terms of attack, defense, large-scale attack, etc., the short board should be defense. Level 7 energy shield technology is at the general level in the Milky Way. Many level 3 cosmic civilizations have mastered this technology. Level 8 energy shields can really be used.

Of course, most of the galactic overlords only master level 7 energy shield technology. Only a few galactic overlords have mastered level 8 energy shield technology. The defense of the warship is very strong. Level 8 energy attacks require joint attacks to break the level 8 energy shield. Only level 9 attacks can ignore the level 8 energy shield. The civilizations that can have level 9 attacks are only a few level 5 cosmic civilizations in the entire Milky Way.

"This is indeed our shortcoming. Level 8 energy attack weapons are everywhere in the center of the Milky Way. Every civilization should have some level 8 energy attack weapons in stock. We should try to be more cautious in the future."

Tang Boyuan nodded solemnly.

"Let's go and continue our galactic journey."

After receiving the transfer and clearing the void, Tang Boyuan had no intention of staying any longer. He said goodbye to Jiguli, who was his tour guide. With waves of space fluctuations, the expedition team disappeared into the space-time wormhole.

"Warp engine, if we can also master this technology, it would be great. We can gallop freely in the universe. Just thinking about it makes people fascinated."

"You should think about how to come up with a ransom to buy your life first. The Red Spider Pirates have been blackmailed for 100 trillion, and they will definitely not let us go easily."

As the expedition team left the Corunna Galaxy, the Red Spider Pirates also began to scrape the Corunna Galaxy, even if it was a mosquito leg, they would dig out a little meat.

…

The incident in the Corunna galaxy can only be regarded as a small episode in the long journey of the expedition team. The expedition team flew very casually in the center of the Milky Way. They did not deliberately choose a specific route or a destination. Everything was very casual.

Through the space-time ocean currents, the routes of one galaxy after another, they continuously recorded various information such as astronomy, geography, and humanities in the center of the Milky Way. These materials are the most important first-hand materials for the imperial scientists to study the Milky Way and the development level of civilization in the center of the Milky Way.

"It is still very easy for these civilizations in the center of the Milky Way to develop to level 3. The scientific and technological materials of level 3 cosmic civilizations are all over the streets. As long as the civilization is not too stupid and has no potential, it is still easy to develop to level 3. However, it is difficult to develop to level 4 cosmic civilization and become the overlord of the galaxy."

Here at the flagship command center of the expedition team, Tang Boyuan and Dong Zhifei talked very casually. Along the way, the civilization they encountered most was level 3 cosmic civilization. The strength of these level 3 cosmic civilizations was very different. Some of them had been developing for a long time. Level 3 cosmic civilization.

Not only do they have a large territory and strong strength, but often there are some level 1, 2, or even 3 cosmic civilizations under these level 3 cosmic civilizations, which can also be regarded as an exploiter.

As for those cosmic civilizations that have just developed to level 3, some days are very miserable. Although they are level 3 cosmic civilizations, they only have their own mother galaxy, and often there is no guarantee. They may be destroyed by other level 3 cosmic civilizations around them at any time.

Wars between level 3 cosmic civilizations are the most common wars in the Milky Way. The galactic overlords don’t care about these at all, and even push them behind the scenes.

For the galactic overlords, these huge number of level 3 cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way can be regarded as their future competitors. Letting them fight each other is also a way to reduce competitors. Of course, once a level 3 cosmic civilization with too strong strength appears, these galactic overlords will also ruthlessly destroy it.

"There must be a galactic overlord behind this. As far as I know, the galactic overlord has very heavy tribute tasks for these level 3 cosmic civilizations, which are often difficult to complete on their own. Therefore, looting and plundering other civilizations to shift the pressure is the most common method used by level 3 cosmic civilizations."

"All along the way, there are wars everywhere, and interstellar pirates are rampant. I guess most of the interstellar pirates are disguised as fleets of some level 3 cosmic civilizations. They don't even have warp engine space battleships. They can't be compared with the Red Spider Pirates. The Red Spider Pirates are eyeing prosperous and rich galaxies. These interstellar pirates often start from some weak level 3 cosmic civilizations."

Dong Zhifei also nodded. The situation here in the center of the Milky Way is too chaotic. The galactic overlords have united together and pushed silently behind the scenes. Only powerful civilizations can get some peace. Weak civilizations may be destroyed at any time.

In comparison, the Orion spiral arm is really a gentle harbor. Although there are constant conquests between civilizations, because the place is small and the number of civilizations is limited, it is also within a control range. Unlike the center of the Milky Way, the number of civilizations is too large.

In addition, they can buy powerful weapons, warp engines, etc. from the galactic overlords, which further exacerbates the turbulence of the situation. Maybe a certain civilization is very powerful near itself and no one dares to provoke it, but it is targeted by civilizations from other star fields, and it is inevitable that there will be a disaster.

I want to rely on space-time ocean currents to build a strong defense, but it is completely useless in the face of warp engines. Moreover, in the center of the Milky Way, the distance between stars is too close. Even if it does not rely on space-time ocean currents, it is possible to spend more time just by flying in the void.

Directly attacking another galaxy by flying is also very common in the center of the entire Milky Way, and it is also a tactic that both sides of the war often like to adopt, because the enemy is difficult to guard against.

If this is placed in the Orion spiral arm, it is simply unthinkable. The distance is several light years at a time. It takes decades to reach another galaxy by flying. Such a long time will make the daylily cold.

Therefore, the civilizations in the Orion spiral arm can still ensure their own safety even if they only guard the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current. Without warp engines and with the long distance between stars, the space-time ocean current is the only choice for interstellar travel. Relatively speaking, the situation is much more stable, and even weak civilizations are safer and more secure.

"Paying tribute to the galactic overlord, developing and growing, and guarding against wars that may come at any time... It is really not an easy thing to survive in the center of the Milky Way."

Tang Boyuan also sighed for a long time. Each civilization has a very heavy burden, the biggest of which is the tribute from the galactic overlord. Every tribute is a loss for these civilizations, but they dare not resist at all, because the galactic overlords will not show you any mercy.

Paying tribute is a task that must be completed. Once this task is not completed, the galactic overlord will destroy you without hesitation. This has been told to the civilizations in the entire galaxy with countless bloody cases over the long years.

"I understand why the civilizations in the center of the Milky Way despise the barrenness of our Orion spiral arm, but are trying their best to get to the spiral arm of the Milky Way. At least it is much safer in the spiral arm, and there is no need to worry all the time."

"That's right. In the center of the Milky Way, even a powerful level 3 cosmic civilization has no protection and may be robbed at any time. Along the way, many prosperous galaxies have been robbed clean."

"People can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and horses can't get fat without night grass. This is even more true in the center of the Milky Way. If you want to live a better life, you must do this. Honestly accumulating wealth may end up being cheap to others. It is better to rob."

"..."

The two chatted very casually. Although the expedition team only had more than 100 space battleships, they were also targeted by some blind interstellar pirates and civilizations, but they were easily dealt with. As soon as the powerful blue sword came out, the interstellar pirates and the like immediately scattered.

The entire expedition team seemed to be in the sky, watching the gods of time, traveling very easily and leisurely in the center of the Milky Way.

After passing through another time and space ocean current, the expedition team came to a galaxy. This galaxy was very withered and had no prosperous scenes like other galaxies. This was the mother galaxy of a level 2 cosmic civilization.
