8: Crossing river systems

Ye Feng set off. This time, he was preparing to leave the Boke Nebula, the massive common galaxy shared by the Lingtao Civilization.

But before leaving, Ye Feng needed the dark plane computer and the smart brain of the blood wolf to calculate the star map trajectory together.

He obtained a portion of the cosmic star map from the Lingtao Civilization.

However, the positions of the stars marked on this star map were not fixed; all celestial bodies in the entire universe were in a state of complete motion.

In other words, the planetary positions you assume are actually changing at all times.

Therefore, the map itself is actually a special data calculation system, capable of vaguely calculating safe landing points across star systems, or even galaxies.

After all, two galaxies are in relative motion, and you never know if your spaceship will fly into a black hole, land on a neutron star, or end up inside a star.

The star map has the function of calculating fuzzy results, which is intended to ensure that spaceships performing cosmic voyages do not enter extremely dangerous areas.

Crossing the vast dark region between two galaxies requires a galaxy-spanning level of Warp Jump.

The blood wolf still possessed this capability.

But before doing this, the blood wolf needed to first find a star and receive Stellar Energy charging for nearly a month at close range to achieve inter-galaxy travel.

After all, the energy required to cross a galaxy is enormous!

While completing the charging process, Ye Feng also used optical data to recalculate and correct the original star map.

In this process, every number that needed to be calculated was astronomical.

In the universe, computing power is truly crucial!

The application of every technology, the exertion of every power, and the execution of every cosmic journey requires considerably high computing power support.

After all, the state of the entire universe is constantly changing.

After a full six months of preparation, Ye Feng successfully began his first inter-galaxy crossing operation.

This time, he was heading toward the neighboring Chenye Galaxy.

This is a complex and massive galaxy where many cosmic forms such as the Shenhe Body, Beast Body, and Trigon exist.

Its size is nearly a thousand times that of the galaxy where the Boke Nebula is located!

*Buzz!*

The blood wolf entered Warp Space and began a three-day Warp Voyage.

In reality, no one had established an Interstellar Great Worm Bridge in their galaxy due to the destructive power of the Divine River Civilization.

If an Interstellar Great Worm Bridge existed, crossing galaxies would not be so troublesome.

In the universe, large-scale transit between many galaxies is achieved through Cosmic Great Worm Bridges utilizing advanced Wormhole Technology!

They are mainly controlled by God-Making Civilizations such as the Angels, Styx, and Lieyang.

At the same time, some lower-tier God-Making Civilizations also possess the ability to establish Great Worm Bridges between different galaxies.

If people from other civilizations want to pass through these Great Worm Bridges, they must hand over certain precious resources or energy as a toll.

However, Ye Feng would not move between galaxies in this manner.

Because that means all your physical data and all your warship's data would be decrypted by the other party.

Or, you perform the data decryption yourself and interface with the other party's relatively secure computation process.

But either way, this carries the risk of leaking important information such as your physical data and technical information.

Even if you choose the latter method, where you control your own data, if your technology is not advanced enough...

...the other party can still silently copy your core data.

Ye Feng certainly did not want all his secrets to be exposed before other high-level civilizations.

After three days of Warp Voyage, Ye Feng's blood wolf finally emerged from Warp Space.

Then, a gigantic Dark Star suddenly appeared in front of him.

This special Dark Star was the size of the moon, completely devoid of optical or magnetic signals —a planet whose internal magma layer had completely extinguished.

The risk of inter-galaxy travel was this great; the blood wolf had just appeared and was about to collide with this hard-to-observe, erratic, wandering Dark Star!

"blood wolf, full power for emergency maneuver!"

Dozens of auxiliary engines on one side of the blood wolf immediately started at full capacity, beginning to control the blood wolf's direction change.

During this process, the immense deflection force caused the hull of the blood wolf to emit crisp, creaking sounds!

The blood wolf narrowly skimmed past the thin atmosphere of the Dark Star, almost colliding with it.

Even so, one side of the blood wolf rubbed against the Dark Star's atmosphere, causing the Optical Stealth Coating on the surface of the blood wolf to burn away.

Fortunately, this was a minor issue, and the entire blood wolf was saved.

This allowed Ye Feng to experience for the first time the terror of miscalculating one's position in the universe.

If that thing had been just a little closer, both the blood wolf and he would have slammed into this Dark Star.

He might have been severely injured, or even perished!

Fortunately, he successfully completed the warship's turn, avoiding the tragedy of the entire spaceship directly hitting a drifting Dark Star.

After successfully avoiding the danger, Ye Feng finally had time to observe his current situation.

He had indeed arrived in the chaotic Chenye Galaxy.

"blood wolf, start calculating the surrounding star systems and locate our coordinate position within the Chenye Galaxy!"

Ye Feng issued the command, and the blood wolf's smart brain immediately began observing the star map and calculating the approximate coordinate position.

The blood wolf is equipped with a Special Low Cosmic Background Extreme Microlight Detector, which can more accurately capture light invisible to conventional observation, and use its data to precisely locate the spaceship's own position.

"Positioning successful. We are in the 5863rd Barren Star System at the end of the Fourth Arm of the Chenye Galaxy. This system contains two stars, but it is a Barren Star System unsuitable for life survival and evolution. To our lower right, there is a destroyed Beast Body Civilization main planet!"

Soon, the blood wolf's smart brain completed the calculation and reported their exact location.

After confirming the exact location, Ye Feng did not leave immediately but quickly approached the stars in this binary system and began replenishing energy.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why major civilizations liked utilizing Stellar Energy so much.

Because it is indeed efficient, cheap, convenient, and safe!

As long as you have the ability, there are stars everywhere in the universe, and energy is yours for the taking.

Moreover, Stellar Energy only incurs transmission loss and has no other issues.

For example, when he manufactures Antimatter, the energy of the Antimatter still fundamentally comes from Stellar Energy, or from fusion and fission energy.

But when this energy is converted into Antimatter, there is at least a 30% energy loss.

And there are so many troublesome conversion processes in between.

If Stellar Energy is utilized directly, not only is there no energy loss, but it is also very convenient, saving the trouble of carrying raw materials everywhere.

After Ye Feng finished charging, he began monitoring the communications of this universe, searching for the intelligence he needed.

As long as it was an electromagnetic signal or a quantum signal, with his current technology, he could capture the signal, analyze the encryption, and directly obtain the main content of these cosmic communications.

Ye Feng's technology had long been capable of this.

Long ago, after studying the relevant Spacefaring Civilization technology and knowledge, he set about building a Communication Interception and Analysis Device on the blood wolf.

The competition among the major powers in his previous life had long made him understand the importance of intelligence reconnaissance and information acquisition capabilities!
