Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

As for whether humans destroyed themselves or were killed by some awesome alien daddy, that was a complete mystery. Lu Chen did not pursue the issue further because he was worried that using the spirit particle transfer device in this world might trigger a butterfly effect and lead to some unpredictable results. He just focused on farming and developing. Even if he knew there was a so-called alien daddy out there, what would it matter? He didn't even have the ability to fly out of the atmosphere.

Later, with the successful launch of the first spacecraft, humans entered the space age and gradually explored the area around the solar system, but found no trace of the so-called alien civilization "057". At least no signs of interstellar war were found. The solar system was desolate and silent, as if it had never been cared for by humans.

With the development of superluminal technology, humans are able to conduct reconnaissance of wider galaxies. After arriving at an unknown galaxy, a dozen unmanned spacecraft larger than carrier-based aircraft but smaller than cruisers slid out from the hatch at the bottom of the Aurora spacecraft. These ships were not equipped with weapon systems, only a huge detector on the bow.

"Let's go!" Aurora gave the order, and the unmanned spacecraft scattered like meteors and flew in all directions. When they arrived outside the star's gravity well, they started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly, leaving behind a dazzling light.

Lu Chen explained: "This is the unmanned research vessel we developed. It has a detection radius of more than 20 light years and can capture various signals scattered in the universe, including neutrinos, gravitational waves, electromagnetic waves, etc."

Chishou Natsuyo brought a group of scientific research lolita to explain this new technology in detail to Lu Chen and his fleet ladies. Speaking of superluminal technology, it is obviously not as simple as just installing an engine. Before transforming the Aurora, they had done many experiments.

"Isn't this a research ship?" Lu Chen felt a sense of time and space confusion when listening. When a normal civilization sets foot in space, it should first send out research ships to explore the path, and then send out engineering ships to circle the land and mine alien resources. After sufficient resources, they will vigorously develop the army and build a fleet. However, his development path took some detours - first he had an astonishingly large fleet, with a total of hundreds of starships in the port area, and one against a hundred in space. The production capacity of Saiwang and Canglan is even more jaw-dropping.

"Are there any engineering ships?" Gudako asked curiously.

"The starship Burri is the most powerful engineering ship in the universe," Lu Chen replied.

The Aurora set off with more than a dozen scientific research ships and began a detailed exploration around the Earth. They conducted scouting galaxies one by one, leaving no star system behind. The shipboard AI continued to send reports and analysis results, and the holographic interface was filled with a huge amount of information.

"Beta Eridani is 89 light years away from Earth. It consists of a main sequence star and six planets. No traces of extraterrestrial civilization activities have been found..."

"K1 Ceti is 31 light years away from Earth. It is an A-class star. There are no rocky planets in the galaxy..."

"Coma Berenices HD067 is 102 light years away from the solar system. There is a red dwarf star and six planets in the galaxy. Liquid water exists, but no extraterrestrial life has been found."

Information poured into the Aurora's core. Lu Chen and the shipgirls read it with great interest, fearing that they would miss any important intelligence. Some galaxies have liquid water, and some planets have even found simple single-celled organisms. Unfortunately, no alien civilization has been found so far.

As time went by, they conducted an exhaustive search within the 500-light-year radius of the solar system, but still found nothing. Not to mention advanced intelligent civilizations, not even indigenous peoples that could be called "civilized" were seen. All planets were barren, and not even the shadow of the remains of alien civilizations was seen.

Sometimes they receive some mysterious signals from deep in the universe, but after further analysis they find that they are just cosmic noise produced by stellar activity.

The vast space around the solar system was empty, with nothing in it. Lu Chen and the ship girls breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Could it be that we are the only intelligent life form in this universe or galaxy?" Gudako made a bold guess.

"Didn't you encounter any Mecha Gods or anything like that? I thought we might encounter an alien star destroyer..."

Lu Chen pinched her cheek and said, "Olympus Mecha God, you will understand after I help you unlock the third special point when you get home."

"It's a good thing, actually. If we really run into some weird aliens, it would be a headache to communicate with them."

"That's right. If the other party also believes in the Dark Forest Law, then we have to fight, right?"

“No.” Lu Chen shook his head. “In a world where superluminal speed exists, this is a bright prairie, not a dark forest.”

"Maybe it's because our location is too remote?" Senju Natsuyo marked the location of the solar system on the star map - it is located at the edge of the Milky Way, belonging to the third spiral arm of the Milky Way - the Orion Arm, about 25 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.

If the entire Milky Way is likened to a city, then the solar system is undoubtedly in a rural area far away from the city center. "Well, 20,000 light years, it's really not easy to go into the city once..." The ship girls couldn't help but sigh.

On a cosmic scale, the distance between spaces becomes extremely exaggerated. The characters that once dominated the earth now seem so small in front of the vast universe.

"Then let the research ship continue to conduct long-distance exploration. At least the environment around us is quiet now."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and issued an order. He really hoped that he would be the only one left in the entire galaxy, so that he could develop resources without any scruples and without having to intrigue with aliens. Of course, if he encountered some low-level alien civilizations at a safe enough distance, it would not be impossible to capture them and use them for bio-energy generation.

"Also, to prevent any disasters, we need to quickly develop technologies related to superluminal civilizations after we return."

"Are you researching dangerous things like neutron annihilation, falling star spears, and star-like meteorites?"

"???"

Chishou Natsuyo and the scientific research loli were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"Commander, what dangerous thing were you talking about?!"
