"General, this is just my feeling, and there might be something wrong. As you know, we can only sense fluctuations in the Consciousness Field; we don't have much research on consciousness itself. In our experience, the Consciousness Field of each race differ greatly. Although the Main Consciousness fields of those two people are not much different from yours, their latent Consciousness Field do seem quite different when I recall them. If I could feel it again now, I might be able to discover the problem."
"Can a single organism possess two Consciousness Field?"
"No, absolutely not, so I'm not sure either. I just can't figure out why."
" Academician Xiao, things are getting increasingly complicated. It seems the one with the secret isn't us, but rather Head of State Li Shun Shunyuan and his group. Number One, thank you for the tip."
"General, there's no need for such formalities. This is simply what we should do."
The group continued their journey, visiting the antimatter production base, the warp drive production base, the warp ship production base, and various research bases. More than 20 hours passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally finished visiting all the important facilities. The potential of the Aquila Civilization was indeed great. In less than 600 years, it had already developed from being poor and backward to its current state. Although Hu Yu had provided a lot of help, it would not have reached its current level without potential.
"General, Academician, you're leaving the Nebula Region, right?"
How did you know?
"I sense that your Consciousness Field is fluctuating more than usual. There must be something important happening to cause this fluctuation, and the only important thing related to us is that you are leaving. I originally thought we would leave here first, but I didn't expect to part ways so soon."
"Yes, we're preparing to leave the Nebula Region immediately and find a normal planetary system to settle down in."
The seven short, big-eyed figures stared at Hu Yu and Academician Xiao, then fell silent.
"Don't be sad. As we humans say, all good things must come to an end. You need to become independent. When you are strong enough, we will meet again." Hu Yu said, taking out a small storage device from his pocket. "This contains things to be aware of when venturing into the Milky Way, as well as our civilization's war experience from ancient times to the present. I hope it will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, General."
"Goodbye, may the name of the Aquila Civilization resound throughout the Milky Way."
"Goodbye, children," Academician Xiao said with tears in his eyes.
After speaking, Hu Yu and Academician Xiao boarded the spaceship, leaving the seven short men to silently wave goodbye. Academician Xiao Academician Xiao back and tears streamed down his face. These seven short men had been with him for over 4,000 years, and he regarded them as his own children from the bottom of his heart. How could Academician Xiao not worry about being separated from them for a long time and having to face the cruelty of the universe?
Hu Yu only left the Aquila Civilization with Star-Level technology tree and a portion of Star System Level warships for them to analyze. He did not leave them the technology of the four-dimensional channel. It was not that he did not want to leave them this technology, but that he hoped they would truly grow independently. Only by completely severing ties could their potential be unleashed.
Having left the base of the Aquila Civilization, Earth Two, Earth Four, and more than twenty other planets, carried by the massive Grim Slayer fleet, left the Nebula Region and returned to normal space, heading straight for the Zerg swarm's defense line. This area was still more than ten thousand light-years away from the defense line, a safe zone.
The fleet sailed along, passing through the territories of several civilizations. With its current strength, the fleet had no need to detour around these low-level civilizations. Moreover, it wasn't passing near their planets, but rather at a distance of several hundred astronomical units to several light-years, so it wouldn't affect them. The fleet stopped after sailing for two thousand light-years.
This is the Monoceros Ring, located east of Orion. Billions of years ago, Monoceros was part of the Canis Major Galaxy, a dwarf galaxy in the Local Group. Later, it was gradually pulled over by the strong gravity of the Milky Way, and countless stars formed a ring around the Milky Way.
Hu Yu's fleet discovered a lush planet in an ordinary planetary system. The planet's environment was surprisingly similar to Earth's, except that no intelligent species had evolved on it, and everything was still in a very primitive stage.
Hu Yu decided to settle in this planetary system to learn about the process of species evolution. Species at this stage have not yet reached a stable state, so the evolutionary process is relatively fast. However, this time is still beyond what humans can bear, and they can only get a glimpse of a small part of the evolutionary process of primitive species.
This planetary system has only one low-mass star. After Hu Yu arrived, the number of planets in the system, including the inhabited planets and industrial planets, plus the few planets that were already there, reached exactly 30. Hu Yu arranged all the planets he brought with him into the same orbit as planets with life, and the environment created by this orbit was just right for humans. This was the first time in thousands of years since Hu Yu entered the universe that he had discovered a planet similar to Earth.
If humans had imagined finding another Earth thousands of years ago, it would have been virtually impossible. Even the planet that is similar to Earth today is not suitable for direct human habitation. If it weren't for our current advanced technology, humans thousands of years ago would not have had the ability to terraform it.
An expedition involving tens of thousands of people and a single spaceship searching for exoplanets is practically tantamount to suicide. Even at Hu Yu's current speed, finding a habitable planet, let alone one that wouldn't be too difficult to terraform, would take a tremendous amount of time, requiring the exploration of multiple planetary systems before a single planet could be found.
Earth Two and Earth Four were once again bathed in warm sunlight. People came out of their homes to enjoy the sunshine they hadn't seen for hundreds of years. As is customary, this place is now known as the JD6 Planetary System.
The fleet set sail again, taking more than a decade to transport two more planets from the surrounding planetary system. These two planets will be transformed into inhabited planets, and the population has now reached 40 billion. In the days to come, the fleet will be stationed here permanently, and the population will surely usher in a new round of growth.
Providing the best and highest quality living environment for everyone is the fleet's consistent mission. The people have sacrificed a lot for the fleet. Whether it is the heavy workload in emergency times or the dim light of the Nebula Region, people have silently endured it without complaint. Hu Yu is proud to be one of these people and tries his best to provide them with everything they need.
Everyone was overjoyed when they learned that the fleet would be permanently stationed here, especially those who had come from the Earth era with Hu Yu. After more than 6,000 years, they could finally have peace. Everyone knew that the stability of the fleet was also inseparable from everyone's efforts. Every bit of effort from each person contributed to the strength of the fleet.
As everyone knows, the fleet is not yet at a point where it can truly enjoy peace and quiet. Right now, it only has the ability to barely protect itself. In the days to come, everyone will need to work hard to gradually strengthen the entire fleet until it can roam freely in this universe.
