271: System wakes up

Lin Yang looked at Cang Miao.

What did he mean by that?

Cang Miao, however, said something astonishing: "Commander, I boldly speculate that perhaps this entire starfield where the Tianji Federal Empire is located is also an isolated experimental ground."

Lin Yang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Why do you say that?"

"Commander, there are star Systems and planets here just like your home, and there are also universal cosmic languages and goods, but the actual information is not equivalent to that in the wider universe, which makes it highly possible that this entire starfield is an experimental ground isolated by a super civilization!"

Cang Miao's tone was faint.

"Like how star crystal is called star diamond, to be honest, when I was in my clan before, my clan often migrated to avoid pursuit, and we went to many starfields. Remote places were always our clan's first choice for migration, but even in the edge regions of the observable universe, this situation has never occurred."

"Any civilization that has reached Level 1 and can enter the universe will know universal cosmic information, but there has never been a situation where star crystal is called by a different name just because of remoteness."

"Therefore, if it's argued that the different naming is due to this place being extremely remote, Cang Miao personally doesn't find that particularly convincing."

"Coupled with some of the specific issues observed on that Earth-like planet just now, Cang Miao speculates that this entire starfield has a very high probability of being an isolated area for some kind of experiment."

Cang Miao stated his hypothesis in one breath.

Lin Yang couldn't help but exchange glances with Lin Mu.

Cang Miao's words were somewhat startling.

Although the means and power to isolate an entire starfield are unimaginable and sound somewhat sensational, upon closer thought, it doesn't seem entirely impossible.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yang looked at Cang Miao and said, "If it's an isolated experimental ground, then there should be means to prevent any outsiders from entering, yet we warped here. This..."

Cang Miao immediately said: "Commander, Cang Miao is equally puzzled about this point, so Cang Miao only speculates that there is a very high possibility that this is an isolated experimental ground, and he is not entirely certain. It's possible that there was an accident during the warp, and we were inadvertently transmitted here by a wormhole."

"Alright." Lin Yang sighed.

If everything was as Cang Miao said, then the difficulty of leaving would increase by hundreds or thousands of times.

"Let's not think too much about this for now. Let's first go to the Celestial Apex Federal Empire Capital Star to gather information."

Subsequently, Lin Yang forcefully suppressed other miscellaneous thoughts and directly entered hibernation.

He hadn't hibernated on the way here because he wanted to witness the journey's progress.

Now that he saw the result, to avoid overthinking, Lin Yang simply chose to hibernate.

When he was awakened from the hibernation pod, he had already returned to the Tianji Federal Empire Capital Star.

Lin Yang once again came to the trading market and found Xi Su, stating that he wanted to purchase some information and intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Xi Su considered for a moment and said, "Distinguished guest, your request is somewhat unusual. We haven't handled this type of business before. Please allow me to ask my superior for instructions."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

"You're too kind. Please wait a moment."

After Xi Su finished speaking, he went to ask his superior.

Five minutes later, Xi Su returned: "Distinguished guest, we have fully understood your request. Within our capabilities, we are willing to help you try this aspect of inquiry by contacting other civilizations to ask on your behalf, but we cannot guarantee whether you will obtain the information you desire."

"Then I am extremely grateful! It's good enough if you can help inquire. As for whether the information is obtained, it's all up to fate!" Lin Yang said repeatedly.

"You don't need to be polite. Because the information you need may require contacting multiple civilizations to inquire, the time required might be a bit longer, estimated to be several days. The exact time cannot be determined in detail yet, please be aware of this." Xi Su added.

"It's fine, a few days is worth waiting for." Lin Yang said.

"Okay, then regarding the cost, since we cannot yet determine how many civilizations need to be contacted to find the information you need, the specific fee will be settled according to the final situation. Do you have any objections?" Xi Su asked again.

"None." Lin Yang stated.

"Okay, then please wait in the VIP room. I will go make the contacts for you. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately!"

After Xi Su finished speaking, he turned and left again, and then a service Robot came in to let Lin Yang choose leisure and entertainment services while waiting.

Lin Yang had no such mood and told the service Robot to leave, waiting quietly.

And this wait lasted for two days.

Two days later, Xi Su returned again, saying with an apologetic expression: "I am truly sorry, Distinguished guest, we have contacted all known civilizations that we could reach for you, but we have not found any information about the Galaxy that you need."

"Alas..."

Lin Yang immediately sighed.

He wasn't particularly surprised or disappointed by this outcome.

It was just that when the result truly came, there was still a slight sense of loss.

Then Lin Yang settled the fee and left the trading market.

Not finding any information about the Galaxy among all the known civilizations in the Tianji Federal Empire was very abnormal.

Because when settling the fee, Xi Su provided some evidence, stating that they had contacted at least nearly twenty civilizations.

Yet, nearly twenty civilizations spreading outwards still hadn't found information about the Galaxy, which was truly somewhat outrageous.

One must know that nearly twenty civilizations are enough to connect from the edge to near the center of the universe.

But they still hadn't found information about the Galaxy, which was very strange and not normal at all.

The possibility of being isolated, as suggested by Cang Miao, seemed a bit far-fetched under these circumstances.

After all, to isolate so many civilizations, how powerful would one have to be?

"Commander, where do we go next?"

When Lin Yang returned to the Tianyin and told them the results of his inquiry, Lin Mu and Cang Miao were both somewhat downcast.

"Let's go back to the Li Clan first, the Apocalypse is still there."

Since no information about the Galaxy could be found now, wandering around this starfield would be futile.

Instead of wasting energy and time, it would be better to return to the Li Clan to rest and prepare to go to the most distant civilization that the Tianji Federal Empire could contact.

Although so many civilizations had been contacted without finding information about the Galaxy, Lin Yang did not intend to give up.

The information terminated at the nineteenth civilization.

Then he would go to the nineteenth civilization and continue to delve into other starfields from there.

"Okay, target locked. Now departing to return to the Li Clan." Lin Mu immediately set the return destination.

The journey was silent.

When they were about to approach the Li Clan starfield, Lin Yang suddenly stiffened.

Because a long-unheard voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

"System restarting..."

Just five words.

But upon hearing these brief five words, Lin Yang instantly froze in place!

His face showed uncontrollable surprise!

This was the System's voice!

"System, is that you?"

Lin Yang was incredibly excited.

However, this inquiry received no response.

Clearly, the System seemed to still be restarting.

Lin Yang didn't speak again but waited quietly.

One minute later.

The System's voice finally resounded in his mind again.

"Hello, Host. This System has completed its restart. It is a pleasure to serve you again!"

(The chapter from yesterday has been revised and a few hundred more words have been added. Those who read it immediately after the update last night can refresh and re-read it; there will be no second charge!)

Bowing to everyone again, my health has truly been poor these past few days.

I've been taking medicine for a week now, and I'm finally feeling better.

I will definitely recover tomorrow!!!
