Chapter 25 Outside the Galaxy
Not long after, when Gu Fan arrived at the bridge, the spaceship which was under the guidance of Xue Feng, was beginning a short-distance warp journey with an unknown coordinate in the depths of the galaxy.
After crossing a distance of 0.57 light-years, the warship landed steadily. Just as she had first reported, there was indeed an abandoned building from ancient times in the deep space at the bottom of the galaxy.
“A human Stargate? Why is it in such a desolate place?”
Staring at the gray monolith-like building that appeared in his vision, there was no doubt that it was a Farstrider Stargate that had been widely used by his compatriots in the old era.
It can be linked to a Stargate of the same model located 15,000 light-years away, and once successfully activated, it can drop up to an entire fleet in a warp to the other end of the gate.
It was built far away from the conventional route. Perhaps this was the main reason why it could survive until now and not be dismantled into scrap by those alien scumbags.
The strange thing was that according to the star map on the ship, this was not once human territory. Could it be that after he entered the dormant cabin, human sovereignty had once welcomed a large-scale expansion?
Judging from the tricky and deliberate location of the Stargate, this thing seemed to have been secretly installed in this desolate border galaxy. In any case, it seemed a little unreasonable for it to appear here.
“Is there a way to reactivate it? I wonder if this thing can still be used.”
Hearing Gu Fan’s question, Xue Feng, who was sitting in front of the control panel, shifted her gaze back to the stargate. At the same time, the scanner was constantly sending back diagnostic data about the huge building.
“Other than the lack of energy, there are no other obvious problems with the target. As long as energy is injected, it can be activated at any time.”
It only required energy replenishment. It sounded like he could give it a try. After all, the battleship had just been replenished with resources. There was nothing wrong with being appropriately extravagant. He could treat it as a lucky draw.
After an unknown period of time, the sleeping stargate was awakened by the energy torrent from the Glory Queen.
Gradually, the gray monolith that had originally merged into one began to change.
Gradually, it revealed the shape of a door frame. Fortunately, from the state of the Stargate.
The other Stargate that was connected to it seemed to have been activated. This meant that Gu Fan and the others could pass through the passageway in front of them at any time and go to the other end of the door.
However, to be safe, Gu Fan instructed Xue Feng to send out a frigate first to confirm the situation behind the door. After all, no one knew where the damn thing was connected to. Now that the frigate had entered the passage, Gu Fan only needed to sit here and wait for the news.
But at this moment, something strange happened…
After losing contact for a short period of time, when the signal of the frigate appeared on the star map of the Glory Queen again, it was actually outside the Milky Way, a position that should have been empty.
“This is…”
Looking at the signal that did not exist in any galaxy, Gu Fan could not believe his eyes. He began to wonder if there was something wrong with the ship’s system.
A moment later, as the image data from the frigate’s sensor was transmitted back to the battleship’s computer, a space platform that clearly had a human style appeared in the middle of the image.
It looked like a temporary residence, but other than this building, there was nothing else in the space behind the door. There was only a cold void with nothing.
As he glanced at the star map at the side again, a possibility suddenly appeared in Gu Fan’s mind.
Could it be that the Stargate in front of him was connected to a star zone beyond the Milky Way?
If that was the case, it seemed to explain the strange phenomenon. The space behind the Stargate was not in the Milky Way at all, but in the cosmic chasm outside the Milky Way. Gu Fan still remembered that when he was still studying in the military academy, it had always been a popular question about what was outside the Milky Way, although there were many videos that could prove that there was gorgeous and colorful universe outside also the Milky Way.
However, according to the principle of light transmission, most of the captured images were historical images that had been transmitted over hundreds of thousands of years.
At that time, the people were so confident and filled with the spirit of exploration. In order to know the answer as soon as possible, countless scholars had spontaneously started research on the civilization outside the Milky Way.
There were even some private explorers who had tried to fly the spaceship through the void chasm that lay between the Milky Way and the extragalactic system, which was much like the deep sea.
In order to figure out the truth of this building, Gu Fan immediately ordered Xue Feng to send an engineering ship with a total of 88 engineering servants to enter the opposite side through the stargate.
He wanted to place these engineering servants in the space dwelling to see if he could find any useful information inside.
At this moment, Xue Feng raised his question.
“Do we need to let the battleships in? That way, the investigation will be much faster.”
Gu Fan, on the other hand, rejected such a suggestion without even thinking. “No, there’s a certain risk in doing so. If something goes wrong, we’ll be trapped there.”
Not long after, as the engineering servants successfully landed, a carpet search was carried out under Gu Fan’s instructions.
Soon, one of the search teams found the terminal device of the residence in the lower cabin of the building. After careful inspection, most of the information was in a relatively complete state.
According to the internal chronological order, Gu Fan extracted the earliest record and played it.
[Fleet Record 003, Frog Jump Project.]
[The Stargate has been successfully built. One of our reconnaissance teams has been traveling in the chasm for four months. According to the plan, they should be about to reach the first rivet point. At that time, they will build another Stargate there. This way, our first stop in the chasm will be completed.]
[I believe that as long as we escape the range of the Milky Way, we should be able to escape the curse.]
Curse? Upon hearing this word, Gu Fan was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood that the other party was probably referring to the Wither Disease. However, this was really interesting…
It sounded like these people were planning to escape the wreaking havoc of the Wither Disease by escaping from the Milky Way. Just as Gu Fan was about to continue reading the next record, the mechanical servants who were carrying out the search mission seemed to have made a new discovery.
