Chapter 394: The Galaxy!

~7 min read 1,277 words

The Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy, which is to say, a spiral galaxy composed of stars gathered into a short-bar shape.

This type of galaxy is the most common in the Universe, and in galaxy classification, it is marked with... S... B...

Yes, it is indeed marked with these two letters; this is as true as it gets, not a lie at all.

In the Galaxy, there are 100 billion star systems like the Solar System.

And currently, the only star systems known to possess life in the Galaxy are Proxima Centauri and the Solar System.

The Galaxy Star Map provided by Kaisha divides the Galaxy into six major regions.

These 6 major regions are the Norma Arm, Scutum-Centaurus Arm, Sagittarius Arm, Orion Arm, Perseus Arm, and Cygnus Arm.

The Solar System is in the Orion Arm of the six major regions.

At the same time, the 6 major regions are further divided into 88 sub-regions for better management.

Just as Ye Cang was watching, lost in thought, Kaisha suddenly leaned in.

"Ye Cang, I must remind you of one thing."

"You don't need to look at the center of the Galaxy; life absolutely, positively does not exist there. As for why, I don't think I need to say much more, right?"

Ye Cang nodded to show he understood.

As for why life cannot exist in the center of the Galaxy, it is because the central location is a supermassive Black Hole!

Just how big is it?

Its mass is 4.3 million times that of the Sun, and its radius is 20 times that of the Sun; it possesses super-strong gravity and is constantly emitting intense electromagnetic radiation.

Such powerful electromagnetic radiation is something even a Third Generation God Body cannot withstand; if a fourth generation could withstand it, they would likely still be sucked into the Black Hole.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is this that influences the structure and evolution of the Galaxy.

Besides this Black Hole, the center of the Galaxy also has a very dense star cluster and a large amount of dust and gas.

What is most fatal is that these dust and gases are moving at extreme speeds.

I fear only Karl could survive in such a place.

Because he is a projection.

I have never heard of a case where a projection was shredded and the projector broke along with it.

A side note: the Black Hole at the center of the Galaxy is not the largest; there is another Black Hole that is 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun.

The Black Hole at the center of the Galaxy is like a sesame seed in size compared to it.

Back to the main topic.

Looking at the Galaxy divided into 88 sub-regions, Ye Cang zoomed in on the Galaxy Star Map, and at this moment, he discovered something.

Kaisha had very thoughtfully marked which places in these 88 sub-regions had life, as well as the level of development of these life forms.

After careful observation, Ye Cang made a new discovery.

The level of civilization development in the Galaxy does not seem very high.

Most of these civilizations are about the same as Earth's Middle Ages.

A few have developed completely askew, even appearing with things like "magic civilizations."

Only a very small number have stepped onto the path of developing technology like Earth, and among them, the most technologically advanced civilizations have all proficiently mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

And they all have high attainments in certain technologies.

For example, one civilization has very high attainments in Nano Technology; they can form various types of battle armor from nanites, and these battle armors could completely crush the combat suits developed by Earth.

There are also civilizations whose planets have been transformed into pure industrial planets.

There are many, many planets like this.

The most outrageous civilization has even initially mastered Antimatter and used it to create an uncontrollable Anti-matter Bomb.

If they wanted to, they could completely blow Earth into nothing but ashes.

Ye Cang's eyes lit up as he looked at these civilizations.

If he could unify all these civilizations, each with its own merits, he believed that dealing with the Zerg would certainly be much easier.

Just then, Ye Cang suddenly thought of something.

That was the Ranger Civilization that Kaisha had mentioned to him a long time ago.

By the way, is this Ranger Civilization in the Galaxy?

A curious Ye Cang used the search function, and after a brief search.

The star system where the Ranger Civilization is located actually appeared on the star map, and Kaisha's note for it was: visited by the Super Seminary.

Super Seminary... he had almost forgotten about it.

After looking at the star map again, Ye Cang discovered that the Super Seminary had visited over a dozen civilizations of various sizes in the Galaxy.

These civilizations were mostly those backward ones, and Earth was among them.

Ye Cang understood what the Super Seminary was planning after one glance.

It was nothing more than the fact that highly developed civilizations have their own unique concepts and would never easily introduce things from other civilizations.

Backward civilizations are different.

In the eyes of primitive people, the Super Seminary descending from the sky is no different from gods.

Therefore, the things of the Super Seminary can be better spread within them.

After closing the Galaxy Star Map, Ye Cang let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Kaisha thought Ye Cang realized how unrealistic his idea of an Expedition was.

"Hmm, do you feel your idea of an Expedition is unreliable now?"

"No." Ye Cang pressed his temples.

"I just didn't expect the Galaxy to be so fascinating; it's a pity that humans used to think they were the only ones in the Universe."

"But now, tsk!"

"I can only say that I am now somewhat impatient to begin the Expedition."

"I believe that after unifying these civilizations,"

"the threat of the Zerg will be much smaller, and after dealing with the Zerg, it will be time to focus on dealing with Karl."

Speaking of Karl, Ye Cang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Right."

"Karl's territory is the Styx Galaxy; I still don't know how far this galaxy is from Earth."

"You should have a map of the Universe's galaxies there; send the map of the Universe's galaxies to me as well, so I can take a rough look and have some idea in my mind."

"Lest I end up in Karl's territory without even knowing it when the time comes."

Just like before, Kaisha said nothing further and sent the map of the Universe's galaxies directly to Ye Cang.

Upon receiving the map of the Universe's galaxies, Ye Cang immediately opened it.

When he saw the map of the Universe's galaxies, a look of surprise appeared in Ye Cang's eyes.

The Universe is truly vast, a full 520 million light-years...

Hm?

Wait?

The Universe is only 520 million light-years???

This data doesn't seem quite right.

If he remembered correctly, according to Earth's data, the observable Universe is 93 billion light-years, and it is still expanding at the speed of light.

If it expands another 7 billion light-years, it would round out to 100 billion light-years.

But the map of the Universe's galaxies that Kaisha gave him is only 520 million light-years.

Where did the remaining 92.5 billion light-years go?

It couldn't have been eaten by Kaisha like a snack, could it?

Kaisha, sitting there, saw Ye Cang's face show surprise, which then turned into deep confusion.

She thought Ye Cang couldn't find the location of the Styx Galaxy.
