Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 792: Return

The most important hallmark of a Level 7 Civilization is the ability to draw energy directly from space itself. On this basis, a Level 7 Civilization can develop countless technologies that a Level 6 Civilization would find unimaginable, faster curvature flight speeds, true Spatial Bombs in the strictest sense, even Star Gates, spaceships with extremely small physical size but immensely vast internal space, and unbelievable technologies such as directly modifying extreme stellar bodies like neutron stars through space technology.

Only now did Xiao Yu finally understand why there were so many different classifications among Level 7 Civilizations. The reason was very simple, there were simply too many branches of technology that a Level 7 Civilization could study. Even if an entire civilization’s scientific personnel devoted all of their energy and spent endless time, they still could not achieve ultimate perfection in a single direction, let alone research the others.

Therefore, every Level 7 Civilization would choose one research direction as its main focus. Precisely because of this, there came to be such varieties as Level 7 Civilizations in the space direction, the travel direction, the mechanical direction, the microscopic direction, and so on.

At this time, Xiao Yu also began to consider which path he would take in the future. Among the currently known types of civilizations, he unhesitatingly eliminated the microscopic direction and the travel direction, as well as directions like music and architecture. There was no other reason than that such Level 7 Civilizations had too little combat power. Among the known types, the remaining choices were the space direction, the extreme stellar body direction, and the mechanical direction.

Combining these with his own advantages, Xiao Yu thought it over for a while but still did not reach a conclusion.

“Forget it for now. The mysteries of a Level 7 Civilization have not yet fully unfolded before me. I’ll think about this again after I have completely mastered the space energy formula.” Xiao Yu thought. “Perhaps, because of my advantages, I can choose several directions to develop in parallel. I am not an ordinary intelligent biological civilization. As long as my computing power makes another breakthrough, I can possess research capabilities stronger than those of several Level 7 Civilizations combined. Developing in multiple directions at the same time is not something impossible for me.”

Xiao Yu was intensely analyzing the scientific data he had obtained in the super acceleration experiment. The space energy formula was not just a simple single formula. Behind it lay countless other formulas. Through rigorous mathematical logic and computation, these many complex formulas could be used to derive the space energy formula.

In fact, the space energy formula itself did not have much value. Its value lay in the meaning it contained behind it. It was like the mass-energy formula that opened the door to a Level 2 Technological Civilization, e = mc^2. Even if you told this formula to a primitive man, he would still be a primitive man; he would not become a Level 2 Civilization just because he knew the mass-energy formula.

On the scientific foundation of his time, Einstein used many other formulas and theorems as his base and ultimately completed the derivation of the mass-energy formula. Its value lay in the scientific thought behind it, not the formula itself.

It is not that once you master the mass-energy formula you will become a Level 2 Civilization. Rather, once you possess the qualifications to become a Level 2 Civilization, you will inevitably master the mass-energy formula. The same is true of the space energy formula. Therefore, even though Xiao Yu had not yet mastered the space energy formula, his technology had still made great progress, using the vast amount of data obtained from this experiment.A large number of other formulas were discovered and confirmed by Xiao Yu and then applied to his technological system. The more of these formulas he discovered, the closer he was to mastering the space energy formula. The day Xiao Yu completely derived the space energy formula would be the day he truly became a Level 7 Civilization.

The Level 7 barrier had already been broken by Xiao Yu. The most serious obstacle hindering his scientific progress had disappeared.

On the journey back to the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy, Xiao Yu experienced another era of great technological development. After the disappearance of the Level 7 barrier, all fields of technology saw substantial progress. Computational science, biological science, materials science, energy science, and so on were all producing new breakthroughs and new scientific achievements almost every day.

“I have already found a way to destroy the Neutron War Star. From now on, I should focus my main research on this.” Xiao Yu thought silently.

Space can be converted into energy and into matter. In turn, matter and energy can naturally be converted into space as well. Once he unified space, energy, and matter into one, Xiao Yu gained the ability to transform these three into each other. He was developing a new type of weapon that would possess the ability to convert a portion of the Neutron War Star into space, thereby completely destroying a neutron star through this method.

“The Neutron War Star is a Level 7 Civilization creation, so it must carry countermeasures against various Level 7 Civilization weapons. However, its operator is a Level 6 Civilization, which will inevitably cause some of its functions to fail or be unusable. And now, I am only one step away from a Level 7 Civilization. Dealing with a Level 7 Civilization weapon that is controlled by a Level 6 Civilization is no longer something beyond my reach.”

“I will keep my promise. Pegasus Civilization, after I destroy the Sweepers Civilization, the Milky Way Galaxy will become your paradise. You will be the most powerful existence in the Milky Way Galaxy.”

After experiencing the invigilator’s gaze upon him, Xiao Yu completely abandoned the idea of conducting a second super acceleration experiment or sharing his research results with other civilizations. The reason was very simple, doing so might once again attract the invigilator’s attention. The first time, he had survived by sheer luck thanks to Chen Mo’s help. What about the second time?

Xiao Yu could not take that risk.

“The Level 7 barrier is something you must break by yourselves. In this regard, I cannot help you.” Xiao Yu thought. “The entire Milky Way Galaxy belongs to you. You have endless time for development to slowly search for a breakthrough method.”

Hundreds of years had already passed, and the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy was now close at hand. At this time, Xiao Yu sent out a spatial broadcast to inform the Pegasus Civilization of his return.

The leader of the Pegasus Civilization immediately replied, “My dear comrade-in-arms, you have finally come back. You have been gone for nearly eight hundred years. So many years without news from you, it truly made us worried. How are you now? Have you become a Level 7 Civilization?”

“I am doing very well. I have already succeeded by eighty percent. If nothing unexpected happens, within at most two thousand years in the future, I will become a true Level 7 Civilization. But unfortunately, due to some special reasons, I cannot share my research results with you. Becoming a Level 7 Civilization will still depend on your own efforts.”

“I had long anticipated this outcome. If a Level 7 Civilization could recklessly foster other civilizations, wouldn’t our universe have been filled with Level 7 Civilizations already?” the Pegasus Civilization leader said with a laugh. “Our civilization has long made psychological preparations to rely on our own strength to assault the Level 7 barrier.”

“How is my kin and the Arrow Beast Race?” Xiao Yu asked.

“They are doing very well. Within our civilization’s small universe, they have been properly cared for. However, your kin seem somewhat unhappy. Our civilization’s internal literary and artistic workers carried out research on the interests and hobbies of your species’ intelligent beings based on the information you left behind, and produced many video materials accordingly, but these things still could not make your kin cheer up.” the Pegasus Civilization leader answered somewhat apologetically.

“That’s all right. Just tell my kin that I have returned.” Xiao Yu said with a smile.

During their conversation, Xiao Yu’s steps had never stopped. In a very short time, his fleet arrived at the Pegasus Civilization’s station. The Sun, along with several planets orbiting it, under the protection of tens of thousands of spaceships, departed from the Pegasus Civilization’s small universe and flew toward Xiao Yu’s small universe.

Xiao Yu opened the transmission channel of his small universe and once again brought the entire Solar System into his small universe.

A small spaceship quickly departed from the Solar, the Star-Class warship, and sped toward the Solar System, toward the position of Mars. It rapidly pierced through Mars’ atmosphere and reached the surface of Mars. A human figure gradually came into Xiao Yu’s sight. Under Lorna’s protection, she was standing on the highest peak on Mars, raising her head, her face full of hopeful light.

This small spaceship stopped less than one hundred meters away from Zhang Shengya. The virtual projection device activated, and Xiao Yu’s smiling figure gradually appeared. His figure stood suspended in midair and then slowly walked toward Zhang Shengya and Lorna, who stood at the mountain summit. Under Zhang Shengya’s large, tear-filled eyes, he tightly embraced her.

“My kin, I have succeeded. The goal of becoming a Level 7 Civilization is no longer far from me. I have finally made our human civilization take its most important step. And you, Lorna, thank you, thank you.”

The three of them embraced once more.

“Come on, I will take you home, back to our homeland. We will destroy the Neutron War Star and the Sweepers Civilization, and then I will lead you on an even more distant journey, so that our civilization can grow even stronger.”

“Leader, farewell. I am returning to the Milky Way Galaxy. After I wipe out the Sweepers Civilization, I will send you a message. From that moment on, the Milky Way Galaxy will be your world.”

“Xiao Yu, are you going to leave the Milky Way Galaxy?”

“Yes. A single galaxy cannot keep a Level 7 Civilization for long. The cosmic star sea ahead is the real battlefield of a Level 7 Civilization. After destroying the Sweepers Civilization, I will leave the Milky Way Galaxy. If fate allows, I believe we will meet again.”

“Goodbye… goodbye…”
