400 billion stars orbiting a 100,000 light-year diameter.
This is the galaxy we live in...
This is a nearly boundless world, and the total exploration range of all civilized races is less than 1% of the entire galaxy. For the civilized races in the Milky Way, those unexplored worlds are collectively called "dark space."
However, the truly completely dark world is outside the Milky Way. If the Milky Way is viewed as a large disk with a halo edge, then the disk is 100,000 light-years in diameter, has a convex center, and is about 12,000 light-years thick at its thickest point. Then along the galactic surface and outward to infinity, the place where light cannot reach at all is what we call the "complete dark world", the real dark space.
Directly above the galactic surface of the Milky Way, it may be a deep darkness of 100,000 light-years. In this world with no light at all, there are densely packed and endless insect-shaped battleships suspended as far as the eye can see - the Reaper!
Perhaps when the main god "Catalyst" said the word "infinite", it was enough to make countless people raise their desks and roar, "Did your physical education teacher teach you mathematics?!"
However, looking back at the manufacturing method of the Reaper giant battleship, we may be able to find the answer.
Leviathan, the giant beast that created the AI "catalyst", is an insect-shaped creature several kilometers long. Then the "Catalyst" exterminated Leviathan and used the corpse of the giant beast Leviathan to create the first generation of reapers - the "Pioneer" class reapers, also commonly known as "harbingers". A man who once ruled Races that have existed in the Milky Way for countless years. It is impossible to estimate the number, but it will not be less.
After each reincarnation, the reaper (note. Here has become the reaper, no longer the "catalyst"). They use the corpses of mainstream civilized creatures at that time, through a series of methods such as juice extraction, stirring... etc., to create "Overlord" class Reaper battleship.
so. We can roughly calculate that there is about 50 million years of history from the first generation of reapers to the present, and a harvest occurs every 50,000 years. Then the main god "Catalyst" said that he is better at the manufacturing industry, so even if we calculate based on manufacturing a hundred ships of each race's corpses... Then we only need to do a little calculation to know that there are 10 "Overlord" class Reaper warships alone... …let’s just say “infinite”.
…
Following the order of the Lord God Catalyst, in the dark sleeping world. Four thousand "Overlord" class battleships and 20,000 "Destroyers" were awakened. The dead world suddenly lit up with scarlet lights, like the eyes of a giant beast opening!
Countless shadowy figures with lights slowly sailed forward out of the group of sleeping battleships as deep as the ocean. They started to activate layer by layer, and their tails sprayed out a long orange-red fire. Flying towards the bright Milky Way below...
*****
Although 24,000 Reapers are likely to take away the Dawn in a wave, it will be of no use - after all, they will be on the road for several years...
Although in the "Arrival" DLC, there is a relay that can directly teleport the Reapers from outside the galaxy to the Batarian territory. But both parties knew the "shortcut", and neither took action because the opportunity was lacking. It’s hard to say whether it’s a “shortcut” or a “dead end.” But if Lu Yuan would leave the repeater there and do nothing, "Catalyst" and Xing Yan would be the first to not believe it!
so. Let's go slowly.
On the shuttle, Lu Yuan threw a handful of dice in a hurry, then counted them with his fingers!
"Hmm~~~, this is...let me see what it says...attack...two...three thousand...four, it's twenty-four thousand! People...battleships...bugs?...There are twenty-four thousand bug battleships to attack Us?!" Lu Yuan was stunned, and then clapped his hands, "Hahaha! What~ I just said that prophecy spells are just talking in sleep and unreliable! If I hadn't compiled the numbers well, I almost would have I was fooled..."
Lu Yuan casually swept the dice into the drawer. "It seems that I really have no talent in prophecy! Forget it..." Lu Yuan's current magician level is about to be promoted to level 15. At this level, he has begun to study some advanced divination magic and astrology.
It's just that in Lao Lu's inherent concept, even the Lord God cannot accurately predict what will happen in the future, let alone human beings - maybe the world is really like the world he experienced, moving along an inherent trajectory. So all the "precognition" spells just describe the plot from a certain aspect.
So why does Lu Yuan, who already knows the "plot" of this world in advance, need prophecy anymore? It seems that his inherent concepts are beginning to become an obstacle to his progress...
The shuttle swayed for a while, and finally flew out of the temporary zero-mass channel between the "Charon" relay and the Dawn, and arrived at the Spear Galaxy. Lu Yuan looked out the window. In the hazy blue light, the Dawn Mothership with its rotors spread was already very close at hand.
He took Mu Xing's hand and said, "We are here, Xingxing, welcome home!"
The self-driving shuttle trembled slightly, passed through the blue light film of the mothership's shield, and flew towards the dock.
The dice in the drawer vibrated, a few dice rolled, and the upward numbers changed. According to the analysis of prophecy, this literal meaning should be... "happens five years later."
Actually, Master Lu, don’t give up! You are quite talented in prophecy...
*****
Because of the previous test of bombarding the Blue Giant, the new route of Dawn was temporarily interrupted. Now that the ionization storm in the Spear Galaxy has just calmed down slightly, the route to the geth has been opened again, and a large number of ships are swarming here to land and transit.
Nowadays, people are coming and going on the dock... Oh, it should be Gesilai, Geisiqu, it is very busy.
"It's better to stay in your own home. It's so comfortable!" Looking at the geths who were busy and orderly, performing their duties and working hard. Mu Xing, who had been under a lot of pressure, could finally relax and stretch his body after returning home, showing a happy smile. In Mu Xing's eyes, even the synthetic Geth is still our Geth - much sweeter than those sanctimonious guys from Star Alliance!
At least they won't say I like you, I admire you, and then take the knife without hesitation. At least so far, Mu Xing has been stabbed twice, Miranda and Hackett, both times by people she once trusted...
"Welcome to the Dawn!", "Mu Xing, welcome back." The Ges passing by flashed their electronic flashlights at the two people, and the rows of welcome subtitles made Mu Xing smile so hard that he couldn't even see his face.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Clear the place!" The geth immediately moved to both sides in an orderly manner, revealing a passage leading to the interior of the mothership. Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, who had never seen such a scene before, naturally wanted to go forward and see what happened. But the two geth resolutely stood in front of Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, blocking the two people behind the passage.
At this time, the Dawn Mothership made a huge roar, which even made people feel that the tens of billions of tons of spaceship was shaking slightly at this moment, and a blue halo surrounding the Dawn Mothership suddenly brightened!
Lu Yuan and Mu Xing happily slapped each other, they had already guessed something.
Sure enough, the Dawn, operating at full capacity, was obviously transporting an object of extremely high mass! As expected, as the Dawn roared louder and louder, an oval-shaped asteroid suddenly appeared in front of the battleship, about one astronomical unit away!
This asteroid has a maximum diameter of about 700 kilometers, an oval shape, and is dark and unremarkable! And its surface is covered with honeycomb holes, which seems to be very light. But the entire Dawn was actually pulled by gravity and slowly floated forward! It can be seen that what you see is very different from reality...
"The mass is at least one trillion tons! Oh my God, it's a hundred times that of ours... Where did the Geth get it from?" Mu, the top student, easily came to the conclusion and began to shout excitedly in Lu Yuan's ear. . This asteroid should come from the edge of the Milky Way. It may be so old that it was formed when the Milky Way was born. This is a gift from Geth!
Layers of shields were erected in the newly vacated positions to protect all geth and humans.
"Prepare for bombardment!"
A few minutes later, a huge and majestic red torrent roared through the passage and hit the asteroid! This time, Lu Yuan saw the scene of the mothership's main gun firing from almost zero distance! Each torrent lasts no more than a second. When you are close, you can only feel the side of the transparent wall flashing and flashing, and then you can see the huge flaming lightsaber waving on the side of the mothership again and again. !
Immediately, the asteroid that had just been transported began to split and collapse under the bombardment of the "Doomsday Blade"... Lu Yuan held Mu Xing and clearly saw - the main gun bombardment of the mothership that controlled the power , the oval-shaped asteroid was first cut into neat squares vertically and horizontally, and then destroyed into dust one by one like a roll call!
The whole process didn't even take more than five minutes. A 700-kilometer-long artificial celestial body was broken down into a ball of "smoke and dust" that expanded to tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, but was still bound together by gravity!
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of ore ships flew out. Each of them is a round "big-bellied man" with a diameter of several thousand meters. These ore ships will suck in a large amount of these cosmic dust, and directly precipitate these dust into different layers in the spiral separator - the quality of this rough selection of mineral deposits is purer than that of specially refined minerals.
This is how the Dawn Mothership gathers resources today... a rugged aesthetic.
