The Stellar System had suffered an invasion by a civilization far beyond its own.
For Luo Qi, who had been developing for just 140 days, this was an extremely dangerous sign.
Behind every technological creation stood a civilization.
Every civilization had its own history of development, and with it, limitless possibilities.
Orange Star Base had simply had too little time to develop.
Stubborn resistance would have been deeply irrational. Evacuation and relocation were the best choice.
To ensure that his civilization could continue developing while avoiding interference from other civilizations,
Luo Qi decisively withdrew from the Stellar System as soon as war broke out.
He chose a new destination for development, setting his sights on the Mystic Heaven Nebula Cluster, 1,600 light-years away.
In the universe visible to the naked eye, it appeared predominantly purple.
Interwoven streaks of pale gold seemed to drape it in a mysterious veil, its splendor beckoning.
The two Radiant craft continued their faster-than-light journey, advancing in jumps.
Every time he returned to normal space, Luo Qi deployed all his detectors.
In just about fifty-three years, Luo Qi would reach the new cluster.
Although the Radiant craft were only nine meters long and were remnants of the failed 136 Project, their hulls were constructed from atomic nuclei.
They had arrived just in time for a new round of technological breakthroughs, however, and their small size made them easy to upgrade.
Their reserves of Matter-Antimatter were sufficient to take them to the Mystic Heaven Nebula Cluster.
The Radiant carried detectors capable of instantly scanning a region spanning 0.8 light-years.
Its electromagnetic detection system, however, depended on the speed of light.
If Luo Qi was willing to remain in normal space long enough, even a detection range of 1,000 light-years would pose no problem.
But the conditions in
