An accident during a spatial experiment led to the discovery of a strange civilization.
For Luo Qi's main body, which was developing in the Giraffe Constellation, this was a small stroke of luck.

There were no logistical supply ships. The battleships themselves carried sufficient energy resources.
If the war turned against them, every ship, whether intact or damaged, would launch a suicide attack to take the enemy down with it.
To lesser civilizations, they might seem incredibly advanced, beyond imagination. But in Luo Qi's eyes, they were merely an impressive collection of numbers gathering outside the vast Giraffe Constellation.
As the other detachments arrived, the Scavenger Civilization's First Fleet completed its assembly. The entire fleet entered faster-than-light flight, heading toward the alien planet eight hundred light-years away.
The fleet would take some time to arrive, so the nearest Observer approached first.
Meanwhile, researcher Luo Qi, already on the alien planet, received approval to begin his little adventure: exploring the planet's body of knowledge to determine whether it could fill any gaps in his own civilization's technology.
When the presence behind the scenes fell silent, researcher Luo Qi began exploring slowly. Whenever his
