Before, I could only attack some dungeons with moderate strength under the protection of the ship girls. When I encountered powerful enemies, the ship girls were worried that they would not be able to withstand it and would be beaten to ashes by the air support if they were not careful. But now, I am fully armed, with a bunch of super equipment such as resurrection scrolls and healing scrolls hanging around my waist, and I feel much more confident.

No longer needing to rely on others, they already have enough strength to challenge the Demon King of that world, and their fighting power is even not inferior to that of the heroes. At the same time, collecting materials from the Goblin Slayer world has also become their way of giving back to the commander.

Every few days, you can see the Butterfly Sisters, the Sword Girl, Red Eyes and Black Eyes riding the teleportation anchors, shuttling back and forth between the Goblin Slayer world and the capital. When they set out, they are full of fighting spirit, and when they return, they are loaded with all kinds of spoils.

At first, their practice of using krypton gold props to brush dungeons was not profitable. On the spaceship, Chi Tong and Hei Tong were counting on their fingers the cost and income of this trip: "This time we brushed three dungeons, killed two demon-level monsters and fourteen high-level monsters, and the spoils..."

"A total of eleven super-level magic scrolls and two healing scrolls were used, and the cost..." After hearing the calculation results, everyone was shocked: "How can we lose money?! It's not cost-effective to use super-level magic to deal with elite monsters! Even if we can kill more than a dozen at a time, the things that explode are not enough to cover the cost!"

The two sisters immediately started arguing, and Chitong accused Heitong: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? There is no need for the fire giant to use the sky fall skill. It is so fire resistant, wouldn't it be enough to use a seventh-level eternal spell?!" As she said that, Chitong poked Heitong's face.

The commander didn't really care about losing a few magic scrolls, but he lost money on his trip, which made Akame feel embarrassed. Fortunately, the empire had a rich financial foundation. If it were an ordinary hero who did this, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"That's just to clear the dungeon faster!" Hei Tong said confidently, "Sister, you're the one who wasted several tier 10 magic scrolls when fighting the BOSS. Couldn't you have just used super-tier magic to solve the problem?"

"I was just experimenting! Experimenting, understand? See if I can get rid of them with cheaper magic!"

However, after a period of actual combat training, they gradually found the way. Those seemingly insignificant low-level magic scrolls are actually not useless. As long as they are used properly, they can also play a huge role in battle.

Gradually, their losses in the dungeon run in the Goblin Slayer World turned into a break-even. They consumed fewer and fewer scrolls, but brought back more and more loot. Their own strength also improved rapidly in the life-and-death experience. In just one or two months, the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Night Raid Squad and other teams had undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the Heroic Spirits praised their progress.

At the same time, while the ordinary girls were showing off their skills in the Goblin Slayer World, Lu Chen arrived at the star base. Chishou Natsuyo, who was previously in charge of the research on the super-warp key, and the scientific research loli brought good news that the research on super-light technology has entered the production experiment stage, and Fanli is about to become a true sky-transcending civilization.

The Wannian Fengxue landed at the outskirts of the star base. The sun beneath its feet was emitting orange-yellow light. Even through the shield, it seemed that it could still feel its blazing heat. Looking around, the number of scientific research lolita in the base has increased significantly. It is obvious that a group of high-quality college graduates have joined in the recent period.

They wore work clothes of different colors. The lolita from the physics department wore light blue, the engineering department wore orange, and the life science department wore light green clothes. At a glance, you can tell what research field they are engaged in and what department they belong to.

Bree and the angels can be seen everywhere, some are busy in the dock, some are flying in the hydroponic farm. This place is like a large fairy tale kingdom 50 million kilometers away from the earth.

"Onii-chan!" Chishou Natsuyo and her research team threw themselves into Lu Chen's arms and rubbed his chest like a cat. "Onii-chan! It's been a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Chen was full of admiration for these little scientific research lolis. They gave up the comfortable life in the base and were willing to fight alone in the star base just to contribute to the development of civilization.

Indeed, it is thanks to the efforts of these talented little girls that civilization as a whole has been able to achieve remarkable progress and development. Without them, there would be no huge leaps in technology today.

"Thanks to the hyperwarp key that Onii-chan brought, we have developed a stable superluminal travel plan, and the first superluminal spacecraft has been built."

Lu Chen was very surprised to hear the news. After all, it only took two or three years from the establishment of the FTL project to its completion, which was a miracle for such cutting-edge technology.

"What method of superluminal travel did you use?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Hyperspace." Chishou Natsuyo scratched his head. "Originally, we had already entered the experimental stage in theory, and we were only missing a few key parameters. What Onii-chan brought back just filled in the last link we were missing. With Brie's help, the technical difficulties are no longer a problem, so the manufacturing process was very fast."

The scientific research loli led Lu Chen and his accompanying ship girls to the dock, where a silver-white cruiser was floating quietly. One side of the hull was decorated with golden patterns, which was simple and elegant. The model "Aurora-C12" was clearly marked on the bridge.

"What is this?" Lu Chen looked at the battleship in front of him in confusion.

Suddenly, a woman with long golden hair and a sweet face jumped down from the bridge. Seeing Lu Chen, she bowed slightly and saluted: "Aritosa-class light cruiser - Aurora, hull number 12, you can also call me the Goddess of Dawn. Commander, it is an honor to participate in the first superluminal experiment."

Lu Chen looked at the familiar ship girl. He knew that Aurora was also called a heavy ship to some extent. It seemed that after the unmanned superluminal starship experiment was successful, they created a large superluminal engine that could be used on the ship girl's hull.

"Aurora is the first ship girl equipped with a hyperspace engine. She is now much faster than you." Chishou Natsuyo reminded.

Lu Chen patted Aurora on the shoulder and said, "That's really good." He couldn't help but sigh at his good luck. It turned out that many sisters wanted to be the first person to experiment with faster-than-light travel with him, but unfortunately, only Aurora became the lucky one.

Aurora smiled sweetly and invited everyone to visit the ship. First, they visited the hypersonic engine built by the scientific research loli and Brie. In the stern cabin of the dock, Lu Chen saw a huge engine-like object, which was as big as several buildings. It was emitting a faint blue light and was in standby mode.

"This is the hyperspace engine," explained Senju Natsuyo. "Its principle is somewhat similar to that of a warp key. In the higher dimensions of the universe, there is a hyperspace channel that is imperceptible to ordinary people, just like a highway. Once the engine is started and the spacecraft enters this channel, it can achieve interstellar travel at a speed far exceeding the speed of light."

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that he understood the logic.

In the exclusive territory of Chao Hai City Country, S year is a special existence. K person I is busy on the bridge, and his blond-haired and blue-eyed ship girl is operating the holographic interface, looking up the names of the top participants.

"Inside a star system, we usually use sublight cruise mode. Once we escape the star's gravity trap, we can switch to the hyperspace channel."

"This hyperdrive is indeed much faster than ordinary engines in terms of cruising speed."

A few minutes later, Lu Chen could already see the familiar blue planet, Earth, through the porthole. Normally, it would take at least 1-2 days for the Wannian Fengxue to reach Earth from the solar system.

"Great!" he couldn't help but praise.

After crossing the Earth's orbit, there are Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and other areas. The starships responsible for mining space minerals are still working hard on the satellites of Mars and Jupiter. If they look up occasionally, they will see a dazzling light like a meteor passing by in the dark universe, so fast that even the ship girl can hardly catch its trajectory.

Continuing to extend outward to the edge of the solar system is the path of Uranus and Neptune. This area is extremely desolate and cold because it is too far away and has not yet been developed.

"Neptune, Neptune, look over there, that's you!" Cheshire pointed out the window. The light blue planet gently poked the ship girl next to him. She had long blue hair and was dressed like a young lady. Her name was Neptune.

"You'll have your salary deducted for using such a pun." Neptune leaned over and stared at the planet with the same name as hers, which was extremely far from the sun. She had never thought that one day she would be able to see this scene with her own eyes.

After crossing the orbit of Neptune, the shipboard AI sent a prompt: "We have left the star's gravity well and can enter the hyperspace channel." Aurora stood beside Lu Chen and gently patted his shoulder to wake him up. "Commander, we have to speed up."

"Come on, choose a route. Where do you want to go?" Aurora asked, accompanied by a projected star map. Hyperspace travel is like choosing a destination and instantly crossing a distance. It is mentioned in various science fiction works.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and chose a familiar location: "Alpha Centauri."

This star system, located closest to the Earth, often appears in various science fiction stories, such as the home of alien civilizations such as Trisolaran, Transformers, and Avatar. He wants to personally explore what is so strange about Alpha Centauri in this universe.

On the star map, a bright spot flickered, announcing that the target had been selected and was preparing to enter the hyperspace channel. As the AI ​​announced, the starship trembled slightly.

The dark space and stars outside the starship stretched out quickly and turned into colorful colors. Due to the superluminal state, the visual effect was distorted, and the spaceship seemed to be in a time tunnel, with strange pictures flashing on both sides.

"At this moment, physics seems to have ceased to exist." The formidable ship girl found that her equipment was reporting errors madly, and various data were far beyond the theoretical limit. Her analytical instruments and observation devices were limited to sub-light speed levels, and seemed unable to cope with this super-light speed state.

"No, actually, physics has entered a new stage." Chishou Natsuyo explained with a smile: "Just like from Aristotle's classical physics to Newton's classical physics and then to modern physics, what we are studying now is space physics belonging to the interstellar era."

Soon, when the starlight outside the window returned to normal and the trance brought by traveling through the hyperspace channel disappeared, a new galaxy appeared in front of their vision. This was a triple star structure composed of three stars - Centaurus A, Centaurus B and Proxima Centauri. In the distance, there were several planets orbiting the sun slowly.

After scanning with the detector, Lu Chen did not find any signs of alien civilization nearby. Alpha Centauri in this universe did not breed alien life.

The star map clearly marked the distance from here to the Earth - 4.2 light years. And Aurora completed this journey in less than an hour.

The ship girls were astonished, and saw hope in each other's eyes. In the past, starship exploration was limited by speed, and it took a long time for a sub-light-speed civilization to develop its own galaxy, not to mention traveling to other galaxies several to dozens of light years away. The long journey was unacceptable.

However, the emergence of superluminal technology has expanded the scope of civilization activities countless times, allowing them to freely travel throughout the Milky Way and even the surrounding large star clusters. This is the real sea of ​​stars.

"How about we go somewhere farther to take a look?" Aurora chose another direction on the holographic interface.

With another buzzing sound, the starship entered superluminal speed again. This time the voyage time was much longer than the last time.

A few hours later, a new triple star system appeared below the starship: a yellow supergiant star accompanied by two main sequence stars, shining brightly in the vast universe.

"This is Alpha Ursa Minor, 433 light years away from Earth." Aurora introduced to everyone with great interest: "Of course, it has another more well-known name - the North Star, which is the one we often look up to on Earth."

With a "ding", the planet that was once out of reach is now within reach. The ship girls were deeply shocked and marveled at the greatness of technology and loli power. As Lu Chen said, if loli is strong, the country will be strong; if loli is smart, the country will be smart.

“Is there any alien civilization or life here?”

"Comrade, will some aliens suddenly appear and fight us?" Tash asked curiously.

"Well... theoretically there shouldn't be any, at least not within a hundred light years of Earth. We have already detected them before."

Aurora turned on the observation equipment and quickly scanned the planets in the galaxy.
