After the Judgment of the Century, the Erqi people rebuilt their new home with a positive and optimistic new look on top of the old ruins.

Everything is developing for the better.

However, the Feitian will not stay in this galaxy for too long. Yun Xinghe, who aspires to become the greatest interstellar explorer, will not stay in a familiar place for a long time.

Therefore, after everything that needs to be arranged is arranged, the Feitian will soon set sail again.

But there are two Erqi people who are guests on the Feitian, so appropriate arrangements must be made.

Lan Li, Luo Xin.

Yun Xinghe called them to the living room to discuss their arrangements.

"Ms. Lan Li, what are your plans for the future?"

"If I could, I'd like to go back to middle school and be a physics teacher."

Lan Li thought for a while and said, although she knew that with her own moral evaluation, teaching and educating people, some people might say that she misled students, but after thinking about it, she still felt that being a physics teacher, besides death, The only thing she wanted to do and could do.

Because she is really good at physics.

"Okay, I can have someone make arrangements for you."

Yun Xinghe turned to look at Luo Xin again and asked him, "What about you? What are your plans?"

"I?"

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, raised his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I will find a job. Our home planet is being rebuilt, and there is a shortage of labor in all walks of life."

"Well, Mr. Luo Xin, I have a consideration here. Currently, there is still a lack of a diplomat on the Feitian. Although our communications officer can concurrently hold this position, as a woman, she is not particularly good at speaking, so My spaceship wants to recruit a full-time diplomat."

Yun Xinghe looked at him and said.

this……

Luo Xin's eyes widened. The captain of this powerful civilization's spaceship wanted to hire him as a diplomat on board the ship. This...

His heart couldn't help but beat loudly. I don't know if it was because of excitement or something else. In short, he, who was always full of witty words in the past, was a little speechless at this time.

"We have no doubts about your ability, Mr. Luo Xin, you can think about it carefully."

Seeing that he didn't express his position for a long time, Yun Xinghe said again.

Lan Li on the side quickly patted Luo Xin's arm and said to him: "Xiao Xin, why are you hesitating? Promise Captain Yun quickly. You can represent the Erqi people and become the first interstellar pioneer. All compatriots We will all be proud of you."

"But teacher, what will you do if I leave? Who will take care of you?"

"Teachers can take care of themselves. Trust the teacher. The teacher will always look after you."

"I……"

Luo Xin looked into the teacher's eyes and saw full support and encouragement in her eyes. Luo Xin couldn't help but nodded.

but……

Thinking of a very critical question, Luo Xin coughed twice, turned to Yun Xinghe and said: "Um...Captain Yun, I agree to become a diplomat on your spaceship, but...I don't know what the salary should be. Calculate……"

"Hahaha!"

Yun Xinghe raised his head and laughed, pointing at him and shaking his head: "In addition to your powerful mouth, you also have a greedy heart."

He stood up and said, "Don't worry! In terms of treatment, I won't treat you badly anyway."

"Thank you, Captain Yun." Luo Xin chuckled and scratched his head.

Seeing this scene, Sugaru, Du Xiaopang and other crew members on the side also laughed, but they all stepped forward, patted their shoulders or shook hands, and greeted him in a friendly manner.

So, when Luo Xin put on his well-tailored space suit, the number of Feitian's crew increased to 1 million and 11 people.

…

Two months later.

After completing its supplies, the Feitian was on the eve of setting sail again.

Regarding the destination of the next stop, Yun Xinghe asked the old man in his mind again.

"Grandpa, next stop, which galaxy should I go to?"

"Well, Grandpa knows about more than 300 habitable galaxies in total, but there are only 8 in the Bora mission sector, and among these 8 galaxies, there are 3 smart galaxies, and the remaining 5 All of them are unmanned galaxies. I wonder if you are interested in these galaxies?" asked the old man in his mind.

"There are only 5 unmanned galaxies left... So are there nothing else in these galaxies except desolate and empty planets?"

"No, you will feel very bored after going to these galaxies. In addition, after you get there, you can't leave. You have to complete the transformation of the ecological environment and then wait for the arrival of the colonial spaceship. This is the normal interstellar development mode. Generally, you can find After finding a habitable galaxy, you will stay there forever instead of constantly changing your target. But are you willing to stay in a galaxy for hundreds of years?" the old man asked.

"Hundreds of years?"

Yun Xinghe shook his head repeatedly, that was too boring, right? He is a great explorer who vows to find countless habitable galaxies for the Federation, not a transformer of the planet's environment.

He was willing to discover, but he really didn't want to. Staying in one place was too monotonous and boring.

"Grandpa, don't you have any other interesting galaxies or other intelligent civilizations on your hands?" Yun Xinghe asked.

"Boy, the discovery of three intelligent civilizations in a row is a small probability event of one in a billion in the entire universe. How can you be greedy? If you are not interested in those five habitable galaxies, I can only suggest you , passed through the black matter belt, went to the second spiral arm, and looked for other interesting civilizations, but..."

The old man stressed: "The black matter belt is full of dangers. The spacecraft accident rate exceeds 70%, and the voyage period is also very long. It will take at least four to five hundred years to pass through here. Are you still planning to go to the second spiral arm?" "

The Milky Way is a bar-shaped rotating galaxy. The stars inside it are mainly distributed in six spiral arms. Although there are a small number of stars in the empty and dark areas between these spiral arms, most of the areas are absolute vacuum. , black matter belts, and dangerous places that cannot be entered.

this……

Yun Xinghe fell into a tangle.

He is not afraid of black matter belts or anything like that. With Feitian's defense power, it can withstand any cosmic risks, but the voyage of four to five hundred years... is really too long.

But it doesn't make much sense to stay in the third spiral arm instead of going to the second spiral arm. It's also not possible to go to the mission sectors of other administrative stars. The distance has widened, and other mission sectors have now become very far away.

What's more, the federal Space Exploration Agency does not support this kind of "stealing work" behavior.

"Then what should I do, Grandpa?"

Yun Xinghe couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Go to the second spiral arm. Grandpa, there are 10 [Probability Cards] here. These probability cards will bring you some help... As a great interstellar explorer, kid, you should not be limited by time. Come on, now that you’ve embarked on this path, don’t even think about looking back.”

In this game, the clearance score must have been reached, but the Milky Way is so big, Zhou Ming wanted to see how far Yun Xinghe could go in the end.

"Well, I know, grandpa!"

Yun Xinghe nodded, and for a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

…

Three years later.

The Feitian, which passed through the Oort Cloud and entered the absolute vacuum, used the ultra-high-resolution astronomical telescope developed with the help of the Three-Eyed Man (galaxies within 100 light-years can observe their habitable planets), and then on tens of thousands of stars Among the stars, five habitable galaxies were found and immediately reported to the Starry Space Exploration Agency.

Then he asked the Space Exploration Agency to send exploration spacecraft to explore these habitable galaxies.

"Why doesn't the Feitian go to these galaxies? Your spaceship is the fastest flying spacecraft in the Federation." Scientists from the Space Exploration Agency asked puzzledly.

"The most important mission of Feitian is discovery, not development. We don't want to stay on a certain planet for hundreds of years, which will waste the performance of Feitian."

Yun Xinghe explained that in addition, Yun Xinghe also revealed his Feitian's plan to pass through the black matter belt and head to the second spiral arm 600 light years away.

"This is a shocking plan... If it really reaches the second spiral arm, Feitian will be the furthest exploration spacecraft that the Federation has ever traveled."

"Mr. Yun, we support your plan. We have observed that there are many advanced intelligent civilizations on the second spiral arm. Some civilizations are so advanced that they can even use the energy of the entire star... Feitian can try to fight with these civilizations. Deal with them and get some intelligence," the official said.

"We will!"

Yun Xinghe nodded.
