Chapter 64: Determined to Dominate
Galactic Era 360, Interstellar Era 1, Star Marker (1, 2, 1, 4c0)
The Triangulum Galaxy (M33), also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy, is the third largest galaxy in the Local Group (Andromeda Group), after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Milky Way.
During the Earth Age, under the "speed of light barrier," humans measured the diameter of the Triangulum Galaxy to be 50,000 light-years (calculated using the speed of light c0 on Earth), and its distance from the Milky Way to be approximately 2.5 million light-years (calculated using the speed of light c0 on Earth).
在4c0光速测量下，三角星系直径为4218万光年（本空间光速4c0计算），距离银河系21亿光年（本空间光速4c0计算）。
The Triangulum Galaxy has two large, loose spiral arms. These arms contain blue star clusters and pink star-forming regions. The brightest blue star cluster in the entire sky is located on the upper right spiral arm at the center of the Triangulum Galaxy.
The Triangulum Galaxy is located near the Andromeda Galaxy, and some scientists in the Earth Empire believe it to be a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy. However, the Triangulum Galaxy itself has a satellite galaxy, originally called the Pisces Dwarf Galaxy on Earth, which is approaching the Milky Way at a certain speed.
“‘Light Child,’ how did we get transported to this Triangular Galaxy instead of the Andromeda Galaxy?”
"Has the master already set up and assigned tasks?"
"What mission?"
"To dominate this galaxy!"
"Dominate the Triangular Galaxy?"
"Correct."
"why?"
"Because this galaxy gradually merged with the Andromeda Galaxy."
Zhou Yuan was somewhat speechless, as it seemed he had been drawn into the war between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Can we give up?
"No. The only way to return to the Milky Way is to complete this mission."
Zhou Yuan glanced at the familiar teleportation ring next to "Light Child," wishing he could open "Light Child's" bald head and take a look, but he didn't dare. Because the fleet's scientists had just told him that "Light Child" was the intelligent controller of the teleportation ring!
"It seems we have no other choice."
Guangtong did not respond.
Zhou Yuan also cut off contact.
All members of both fleets held their first holographic meeting since arriving in the Triangulum system.
George spoke first, “Gentlemen, it is regrettable that we have been caught up in the war between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, and we have unfortunately been transported to the Triangular Galaxy, which they are fighting over. Most importantly, we have lost contact with the new Earth in the Milky Way, which means that we have become a ‘wandering civilization’ or ‘starship civilization’ in this galaxy. ‘Light Child’ tells us that we can only go home if we complete the mission of its master, the ‘Matrix Civilization’.”
Everyone remained silent; everything was now in the past. The new Earth would likely remain a sweet memory, settling deep within their hearts for a long time to come. Humanity on Earth was now a thing of the past.
The two major fleets of the Galactic Earth Empire, the Alpha Fleet and the 19th Fleet, will have to take root in this triangular star system and lurk in the dark forest of interstellar space. If they want to realize their dream of returning home as soon as possible, they must achieve that grand goal and become the overlord of this triangular star system!
Zhou Yuan was naturally chosen as the chief scientist for both fleets.
"Gentlemen, although our two fleets are very large and we don't lack anything for the time being, for the sake of our long-term goals, we can no longer act according to the standards of New Earth. I think we should first develop a long-term development plan, and here I have outlined some very important points." Zhou Yuan, as the savior of humanity in the Earth Era and an outstanding contributor to New Earth in the Galactic Era, once again took on the role of savior at this critical juncture.
"First, we must find an Earth-like planet as soon as possible to serve as our base for development. Second, on the new Earth in the Triangulum Galaxy, we encourage the reproduction of human progenitors. When the time is right, the Earth Empire's Replication Act and its amendments can be modified as necessary. For example, aside from blood relations, we can allow the current replicated lifeforms in the fleet to fall in love, marry, and reproduce. Remember one thing: we are the ancestors and progenitors of the new humans in the Triangulum Galaxy." Although some fleet members were slightly surprised, upon careful consideration, they had to agree with Zhou Yuan's ideas. After all, the development and expansion of a normal civilization requires not only developing a base to acquire more resources but also a large population base.
"Besides population, we must build more warships on the new Earth in the Triangular Galaxy, which I don't think will be a problem. However, there is one point I must objectively remind everyone of: vigorously developing science and technology is our top priority." Everyone agreed on these two points, because humanity on Galactic Earth developed through science and technology and warships.
"Of course, we also need to figure out dark matter and dark energy as soon as possible, and repair quantum communication with the Milky Way Earth Empire as soon as possible." Everyone nodded in agreement. For these wanderers who had just left their home star system, these humans were not yet prepared to drift alone, and they still had a great psychological dependence on the new Earth in the Milky Way. This is human nature.
"Finally, and this is what I expect of you, we must unite as before, working together with one heart and one mind. My dear compatriots, let's summon your fighting spirit and make us the overlords of this triangular galaxy!"
"Overlord!" "Overlord!" The human fleet shouted in unison, seemingly declaring to the triangular star system, "We have arrived, the Overlord has arrived."
Subsequently, the two massive fleets re-surveyed the triangular star system, revising some star maps. Through long-range observation using their "sky eyes," the fleet's humans determined that there was a yellow star 78 light-years away (based on the speed of light in this space, 4c0) from their current location. This star was similar in size to Earth's Sun, had five planets, one of which was a terrestrial planet, approximately 1.5 times the size of Earth in the Milky Way galaxy. This planet had two moons, one of which was about the size of the Moon. The fleet's humans named this terrestrial planet "New Home 1."
The two fleets, with humans entering a deep "hibernation," were piloted by artificial intelligence and rapidly entered the speed of light in this space, heading towards "New Home 1".
In the year 401 of the Galactic Era and the year 42 of the Interstellar Era, humanity was awakened by two major fleets.
"What's wrong?" asked George, commander of the Alpha Fleet, Taser, commander of the 19th Fleet, Zhou Yuan, and others.
"Master, there are two fleets, eight million kilometers apart, one light-years to the right front. Both fleets are traveling at 10% of the speed of light in this space. The fleet behind seems to be chasing the fleet in front. After long-range detection, the fleet in front is constantly sending out periodic light-frequency oscillation distress signals."
"A distress signal? What does that mean?"
"Help! Help! This is the Katami Star Fleet. We are being hunted down by the evil Dota Star Fleet."
"The evil planet Dota?" The three of them reacted nervously upon hearing the word "evil".
The three agreed that the Alpha Fleet would go to check the situation, while the 19th Fleet would continue towards "New Home 1," and the two fleets would maintain constant contact.
The Alpha Fleet flew toward the Catami Star Fleet and the Dota Star Fleet at the speed of light in this space.
In the 43rd year of the Interstellar Era, the stealthy Alpha Fleet had caught up with the two fleets and scanned them.
Remarkably, the lifeforms of the Catami fleet resemble humans. They are similar in appearance to Earth humans, though these human-like beings have longer, pointed ears and are shorter than humans, standing approximately 1.6 meters tall. The lifeforms of the Dota fleet, on the other hand, resemble enormous octopuses. The Catami fleet has about one hundred warships, each circular and relatively small, with a diameter of about two kilometers. The Dota fleet has about ten thousand warships, each also circular, with a diameter of about six kilometers. Their shapes mirror the physiques of their inhabitants, featuring eight symmetrical radial supports around their circumference.
The Alpha Fleet passed the two fleets and stopped 60 million kilometers away from the Catami Star Fleet. It then immediately sent a light vibration signal to the Catami Star Fleet in secret.
"Katami Star Fleet, hello. This is the Earth Human Fleet. Please travel 60 million kilometers along your course. We will rescue you here."
"An Earth human fleet? We've never heard of it. Also, why haven't we detected any of your warships ahead?"
A circular flying saucer from the Alpha fleet emerged from stealth mode.
One hundred seconds later, the commander of the Catami Star fleet seemed stunned. "Earth human fleet, you, you only have one warship?"
"Don't worry about that. If you want to live, come here. Time is running out."
Upon hearing that time was running out, the commander of the Catami Star fleet did not hesitate to lead his fleet straight forward.
Thirty seconds later, the Catami fleet arrived near the circular warship. The commander discovered that the warship was only one kilometer in diameter, smaller than his own. The commander couldn't help but regret his decision, but his fleet had already slowed down. If he accelerated further, they would certainly not escape the enemy ship's pursuit. The commander sighed deeply, resigning himself to fate.
Just as the Katami Star fleet hid behind this tiny, round warship, ten thousand warships from Dota Star stopped two thousand kilometers away from the flying saucer. The commander of the Dota Star fleet was also puzzled. How could a bold interceptor appear in front of ten thousand warships of the Dota Star Empire!
The result, of course, recreated the scene of the massive human fleet marching towards the moon during the Earth era. The ten thousand warships of Dota were neatly sliced into pieces by the flying saucer's optical netting.
"Ah!" The humans on the hundred warships of Planet Katami exclaimed in surprise. They couldn't believe it; it must be an illusion.
"The 19th Fleet, the Alpha Fleet, plans to make contact with the human civilization on this planet Katami to gather information about this triangular system. The task of building a new home will be entrusted to you first."
"19th Fleet received."
"Human civilization on Earth is very grateful for your rescue. I am Kashe, commander of the Katami Star Fleet."
"Kashe, hello, this is George, the commander of the Earth Human Fleet." The two fleet commanders had a video call. Kashe was overjoyed to see that the other party looked similar to himself.
“Kashe, it’s clear you’re happy to see us.”
"Yes."
"Can I ask why?"
"Based on the information we have, the human civilization in this star system has been almost completely hunted down by the Alliance."
"What?!" George, Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and the others all changed their expressions drastically.
"Kashe, why is the Alliance hunting down human civilization?"
"We are just a weak civilization and do not know the specifics. Our fleet has been hunted by the Dota Empire fleet for sixteen or seventeen years."
"And what about your home planet?"
"We were destroyed by the Dota Empire seventeen years ago, and we are the survivors. We are fortunate to have been rescued by you, otherwise our fuel supply would only last for three or four years."
Zhou Yuan fell into thought. This triangular galaxy was truly peculiar; it seemed intent on wiping out all human civilization. The reason was probably related to the war between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, Zhou Yuan could only speculate on this.
Since that's the case, then let's become kings and conquerors, and become the human overlords of the Triangular Galaxy!
