"How long has it been?" Lin Xu, who woke up from the dormant cabin, asked Miss Qiu who was standing outside the dormant cabin.
"The current time is 10890 in the sailing calendar. One hundred years have passed, Master." Miss Qiu replied.
"It seems that we did not encounter any unexpected emergencies during this voyage." Lin Xu was somewhat satisfied, but also a little regretful.
"Although a hundred years have passed, Master, you were awakened in advance, but the time in advance was very short, only three months. I'm sorry, we did encounter an unexpected event, and we need you to make a decision." Miss Qiu responded.
"Three months in advance? It seems that we are very close to the destination galaxy. What happened?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully.
"The Earth is currently 0.5 light-years away from the target galaxy. As for more information, I was only awakened from hibernation ten minutes ago and I don't know yet." Ms. Qiu apologized.
Lin Xu, who had already walked out of the dormant cabin, nodded to show understanding.
Then he spoke again, "Who is driving this year? What happened?"
While talking, Lin Xu had already led Miss Qiu out of the dormitory room and into the corridor full of technology.
"Master, Qiming is at your service." Qiming's voice sounded from the loudspeaker in the corridor.
At the same time, Lin Xu had passed through the corridor and entered the elevator. The elevator door closed and climbed rapidly upwards.
Qiming's voice was also transferred from the loudspeaker in the corridor to the loudspeaker in the elevator.
"The Earth is 0.5 light-years away from the target galaxy. It is currently heading towards the target galaxy at twice the speed of light. It is expected to arrive at the target galaxy in three months."
Qiming first introduced the basic situation, and then explained what happened.
"However, during the navigation process, the autonomous mechanical aggregate responsible for vigilance on the left front discovered a suspected interstellar war battlefield."
"The battlefield of the interstellar war? Is it the ongoing war or the ruins after the war?" Lin Xu suddenly became excited, but also a little nervous.
This was an interstellar war. Although he knew that since he set foot in the starry sky, he would encounter such a situation sooner or later, but he did not expect that it would come so unexpectedly.
"After preliminary investigation, it should be a post-war ruins, and the war occurred at least several thousand years ago."
"Thousands of years ago? Is it related to humans?" Lin Xu frowned.
"No traces of suspected human creations on Earth were found at the scene. It is initially judged that it is not a war in which humans have participated, but should be between two alien forces."
Lin Xu nodded.
He now understood why he had been awakened.
Because only he can make the decision whether to turn around and go to the ruins to check.
"How far are the ruins from us?" Lin Xu asked.
"Nine billion kilometers, about one thousandth of a light year." Qiming replied.
"Then let's go and have a look." Lin Xu decided immediately.
One thousandth of a light year. If the Earth had just left the solar system and was still using plasma propulsion, it would probably take several years to cover this distance.
Although the Earth at that time, driven by plasma, had a maximum speed of several thousandths of the speed of light.
But it is more cumbersome and takes a long time to turn.
And when we get to the destination, it will take a longer time to slow down and stop.
Or just pass by without stopping, and then take advantage of the passing window to quickly complete the investigation and return to Earth as soon as possible.
This will take less time.
But things are different now. The earth now has 100,000 planetary engines, all of which are equipped with curvature engines.
Not only is the speed faster, but it is also more convenient to slow down and stop.
Like now, a distance of one thousandth of a light-year can be reached in four or five hours with just a slight turn.
So just like that, without Lin Xu noticing, the earth turned slightly to the left and forward under the control of Qiming, heading towards the ruins of the ancient battlefield in the starry sky.
At this time, Lin Xu had already taken the elevator and arrived at the ground.
The exit of the elevator is in Lin Xu's courtyard house.
However, Lin Xu did not stay in the courtyard for long. Instead, he directly controlled the clothes on his body and transformed them into power armor.
At the same time, the anti-gravity device built into the power armor was activated, taking Lin Xu into the air and flying towards the outside of the ecological dome.
Now that Lin Xu is flying within the earth, he no longer needs to spray plasma with his feet. His power armor has been modified and installed with an anti-gravity device. When flying within the planet in the future, he only needs to activate the anti-gravity device to match the planet's gravity. By generating repulsive force and controlling the deflection direction of the repulsive force, you can fly freely.
Of course, this method of flight can only be used within the planet. Plasma is still needed for propulsion in space.
After all, the warp engine cannot be miniaturized enough to be used in power armor.
And Lin Xu was so anxious to leave the ecological dome that enveloped Yanjing City, not just to rush to the Starry Sky Ancient Battlefield.
It would take at least several hours to reach that ancient battlefield, so there was still enough time.
Lin Xu hurried out because he wanted to see how the Earth Dome project he had been thinking about was progressing so far.
Although only a hundred years have passed, which is still far from the planned one thousand years, Lin Xu is still eager to see the effect of the plan first.
As the ecological dome opened a gap, Lin Xu and Miss Qiu followed closely behind.
The scene outside the ecological dome jumped into Lin Xu's eyes.
In Lin Xu's field of vision, countless thick pillars that were far taller than the planetary engine were thrust into the sky.
In Lin Xu's sight, there were densely packed pillars like this, which are the so-called Tianzhu.
Each sky pillar is a hundred kilometers high, nearly ten times as high as the planetary engine.
Lin Xu stood on the ground and looked up, and couldn't even see the end of the Tianzhu.
Some of the pillars have been built to the point of being completed, but many others have only laid foundations.
According to Lin Xu's previous discussion with quantum computers, since there are 100,000 planetary engines, there is no need to spray plasma to accelerate the earth in the future.
Then simply raise the 100,000 planetary engines and use them as sky pillars.
This can save a lot of time. After all, one million sky pillars need to be built, which is not a small number.
Moreover, the use of the elevated planetary engine as a Tianzhu will not affect the operation of the curvature engine installed inside the Tianzhu.
Lin Xu even made another decision. When building the remaining 900,000 sky pillars, he also reserved internal positions for installing curvature engines.
At the same time, the curvature engine factory on Earth should not stop production and continue production.
The produced curvature engine is installed directly on the Tianzhu.
In this way, when the million sky pillars are completed, curvature engines will be installed in all the million sky pillars.
I believe that the speed of the earth will definitely increase further.
