Guide to Galactic Dominance

At this moment, in the Lingxiao Palace, Bai Zhongqi has invited Mo Laitong, Lin Yin, Xu Lanzhou and Du Peng to watch the major discoveries under the ground of Mars.

Dozens of Dragonfly drones are scanning the Sky Pyramid in every detail. Even they who have seen many strange things about the universe can't help but be shocked by this discovery at this moment.

Countless symbols are engraved on the side stones of the pyramid like seals. After Lin Yin saw the symbols clearly, her expression changed drastically and she exclaimed: "It's the words of the elder race!"

Bai Zhongqi was also extremely surprised. The term elder race was still relatively new to him, but he already knew enough about the power and history these four words represented.

As the largest number of intelligent life forms in the universe, or at least in the Milky Way, primates or humans are believed to generally originate from a distant ancestor, just as humans on Earth believe that they all originated from a specific ethnic group in Africa.

The primates have multiplied and multiplied on various planets throughout the galaxy, and continued to grow and evolve, becoming a group of people with the same genetic segments but with many different characteristics. The Iridium people believe that this common ancestor who created countless primate humans is the so-called elder race.

There is a lot of evidence in the cosmic archeology of Iridium, directly or indirectly, that the Milky Way has existed for more than 10 billion years, and there have been two periods of prosperity and decline of civilization, just like the one on Earth. The geological age is average. The Elder race existed in the first prosperous period of civilization in the Milky Way, and was considered by the Iridium people to be the only civilization that had ever completely ruled the entire Galaxy (of course at that time the Galaxy was not as vast as it is now).

The prosperous period of the first civilization, also called the Archaic Era by the Iridium people, was about four billion years after the birth of the universe. It was probably the first batch of intelligent life to be born in the universe. How the ancient universe declined is unknown to the Iridium people. Next, it entered the long dark universe. It is generally believed that during this period, there were only a small number of civilizations in the Milky Way, and the decline of civilization was quite serious.

It was not until more than 3 billion years ago that the second prosperous period of civilization appeared, which was the Archaeozoic. Many powerful and powerful civilizations appeared during this period, and the galaxy was competing for hegemony. More intelligent races emerged, and various distinctive civilizations were developed. Traces of many civilizations are even left to this day.

The Iridium people knew the reasons for the destruction of the Ancient Era. Long-term wars, the fact that some civilizations had mastered too powerful weapons, and the mysterious invaders from extragalactic galaxies eventually caused almost all civilizations in the Ancient Era to weaken or even fall. It is said that some civilizations have mastered the power of dimensional manipulation and fled to other universes, but there is no way to prove it.

What can be confirmed is that after the Archaic Eon, the devastated Milky Way once again entered the Dark Age, known in history as the Eozoic. After more than three billion years of continuous destruction and rebirth, the Milky Way has once again ushered in a prosperous period of civilization. A large number of powerful civilizations have emerged, but no civilization has ever been as powerful as the ancient civilizations.

There are no longer a few emerging civilizations like Iridium that are not inherited from the civilization of the ancient universe, but originated and developed on their own. But the ancient civilization of that year was the successor, or it was a vassal of the powerful civilization of that year. Even if it only got some insignificant things at the beginning, it is now an extremely powerful civilization.

Iridium people have naturally heard that there is a kind of civilization that calls itself "Observer of the Galaxy", and its civilization with millions of years of history is considered relatively young. They will not easily interact with emerging civilizations, and are even difficult to detect. But if you don't have the brains to enter a war with them, then you will definitely be destroyed.

Bai Zhongqi had previously thought that these were just settings in the game. He had excavated the archaeological remains of the elder race in the game, and had also conducted diplomacy with the Galaxy Observer's envoy ship. But Bai Zhongqi never expected that the elder race would actually appear in the real world.

"Is the game I play not a game world at all, but a real parallel universe? The things in the first galaxy are actually the same as the things in the second galaxy?"

Bai Zhongqi couldn't help but thought in shock at this moment, naturally he couldn't tell Xu Lanzhou and others this. It's not that he hasn't thought about this possibility, but compared to the fleet crossing in the game, the game he controls is connected to a real universe. This situation makes him shudder even more.

No one knew what Bai Zhongqi was thinking at this moment. Lin Yin looked at the symbols on the Tongtian Pyramid with all her attention and said: "There has been a debate in the academic circles that these symbols are not the words of the elder race at all, but are a kind of technology in themselves. Each one Symbols represent a piece of information that may amount to terabytes. It took our scholars three thousand years to decipher ten symbols with only rough guesses. And the successful deciphering of several of them has brought about The improvement of our Iridium satellite technology.”

Mo Laitong's face was full of seriousness at this moment, and he said: "The two-stage warp engine we successfully developed was obtained by deciphering the handed down symbols of the elder race. However, to decipher these things, we rely entirely on guesswork. , you are right, where is it used? Even if it is successful, we ourselves do not know whether the elder race had this original intention. Even if we use extremely strong computing power and use the exhaustive method, we do not have the creative thinking of the personnel. Neither the contact method nor the contact method can achieve much results.”

Lin Yin's beautiful eyes were now full of brilliance. She even grabbed Bai Zhongqi's arm without etiquette and said excitedly: "The United Empire has only received 131 symbols of the elder race before, and most of them are considered to be Undecipherable, we have decoded 10 in three thousand years. Your Majesty, now, we have discovered a giant pyramid hundreds of kilometers high, with handed down symbols on each level. Even if there are duplicates in it, it is only this tower that reaches the sky. The pyramid, its value is also immeasurable!”

Compared with Lin Yin's excitement, Bai Zhongqi seemed calmer. This also made everyone have unfathomable feelings about it.

Xu Lanzhou said at this time: "It seems that the first universe and the second universe are closely related. Maybe the elder race, like us, came from the first universe to the second universe. If we can get something useful here, Something that may help us return to the first universe."

The heroic female commander of the Space Army looked at Bai Zhongqi's back with a pair of bright eyes, and said in an excited tone: "The entire United Empire will welcome the return of His Majesty the Head of State!"
