The Tunnel-Class Interstellar Battleship was the Alliance's most cutting-edge technology. Not only could it travel freely between positive and negative dimensions, it also had planetary combat capabilities capable of destroying small planets.
Most importantly, it wasn't as bulky as a starship. It didn't require a large crew or AI to process data, and it didn't require a large amount of energy storage. It could travel through space in a very short time, and it had the ability to avoid any danger.
One could think of the negative space as a reflection of the positive space. Everything inside was between nothingness and substance. When a warship entered the negative space, it would also become a half-nothingness. Any attack in the negative space would be ineffective.
If positive dimensions were described as a world full of vitality, then negative dimensions were a world of death. Everything was gray, and filled with a sense of despair that was etched into one's bones. Some of the Astrals once compared negative dimensions to the subconscious of life. No one could understand what their own subconscious was like.
Anyone who had traveled through negative dimensions would need a long time to recover from the depression. For those who had traveled through space often, they had gradually adapted to it.
As soon as the Interstellar Battleship emerged from negative dimensions, the crew gradually awakened from their deep slumber. One by one, they got up and returned to their posts with the AI's help.
There were ten Astrals on board. The Astrals belonged to the Tasmanian race, which meant they were exactly the same as humans. The only difference was that their skin glowed with a white fluorescent light, like beautiful jade.
The Astrals were born in a very special way. They formed their consciousness from the infinite flow of particles in space. They formed their consciousness at birth, then gradually materialized their energy. It took about twenty universe years for them to reach adulthood.
There were hundreds of AI support robots on board. In other words, each Astral had to control more than ten AI robots. This required a huge amount of data processing power, and it was difficult to do with brain power alone. They mainly relied on their own AI.
In the Star Alliance, the AI was a very popular tool to assist in computing. Almost everyone in the Alliance had their own AI. It was like a part of their body, a second brain. According to its main function, it was divided into combat AI and living AI. The combat AI was more advanced, and its main function was to assist in battle and guide its master to make the best choice for evolution.
To the Star Elves of the Alliance, the Smart Brain was even more important. It could be said that it was as important as the Star Elves themselves.
Up until now, the Astral Spirits had a total of nine generations of Smart Brains. However, the Smart Brains did not become more advanced as time went by. Instead, they became more and more backward. This was because the first generation of Smart Brains was strictly speaking not a Smart Brain, but the original Astral Spirits had cut out their own logical thinking and consciousness. Not only could they collect data for calculation and analysis, but they could also evolve and create. In other words, they had the same ability to create as the Shrew species.
The second generation of artificial intelligence had already lost its ability to create, but it could still evolve by collecting receipts. It was also a life form.
As for the third brain and below, it was a tool for processing data and performing logical calculations.
The reason for this situation was related to the special reproduction method of the Star Spirits. They reproduced through division. Every time they split, half of their abilities would be taken away. As the generations passed, they would become more and more degenerate. Up until now, there had been a total of nine generations. Correspondingly, the Smart Brains that were split from themselves were gradually becoming weaker than before.
Even so, the Star Spirits relied on their understanding of energy and the Smart Brain's powerful data analysis ability to almost use material methods to the extreme. This made them one of the most powerful species in the universe.
Other than the auxiliary robots, there were also thousands of Black Marrow Intelligent War Puppets, which were called Black Iron Warriors, thirteen White Spirit War Puppets, which were also called Silver Warriors, and one Yellow Rong War Puppet, which was also called Gold Warrior.
These war puppets were the main armed forces of the Star Elves. They had powerful mimicry abilities and could freely transform between materials. They could adapt to any combat environment in the universe. They also had extremely high combat instincts and could simulate any physical combat techniques. They could also use material modification abilities to launch powerful technological weapons.
The most powerful of them all was the Gold War Puppet. It was made from highly compressed star essence and was given the battle consciousness of the dead Star Elves. It had the ability to simulate and create. Only the commander of the warship could control it.
In the spacious main command cabin of the warship, the commander, Major General Harrington Keith, stared at the beautiful galaxy in front of him through the porthole.
The Milky Way was a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about two hundred thousand light years. It had four large spiral arms: the Sagittarius Arm, the Orion Arm, the Perseus Arm, and the Outer Edge Arm. Their target was the Orion Arm. That was where the Lost Star Region was located.
In his long exploration career, he had seen countless beautiful galaxies, but the galaxy in front of him was a little different. A different kind of feeling welled up in his mind. It was the kind of feeling that he had when he returned to his mother's body a long time ago.
The main control Smart Brain of the warship reported to the command deck, "Major General, Princess Xingyun did not respond to the communication."
"There are many intelligent species in this galaxy. Enter a state of alert. Launch space probes and increase the cruising speed. Continue to contact the Princess."
Harrington came back to his senses and gave the order coldly. The universe was filled with danger. Many native galaxies were hostile to outsiders. They would attack almost immediately after discovering them.
The warship activated the electromagnetic shield. Any cosmic rays were isolated. At the same time, it repelled the huge gravitational force of the galaxy. The high-power void device in the propulsion cabin began to collect the antimatter in the void. Through high-intensity compression, it condensed it into positive matter. This drove the particle reactor to operate, providing endless kinetic energy.
The matter that could be observed in the universe belonged to the positive matter. It was the matter that made up the stars and everything else. There was also a large amount of matter that could not be observed in the void. They would not react with electromagnetism, nor would they be attracted by light gravity. They could only be attracted and used by the void effect to simulate a small black hole.
Harrington cast his gaze on a three-dimensional projection on the command deck. It was a beautiful woman. She was a Star Elf Princess with a high status.
Everything had two sides, one side, the other side, and the other side. This included all civilizations and races. They were divided into male and female.
In the Star Elf Race, all the members of the race after the third generation were born from the mother. Only the most outstanding member of the race would be crowned with the title of Princess.
The Star Elf Race was a matriarchal society. Only the females had the ability to divide and give birth. The status of females was very high, but they were very few in number. Most of the male Star Elves did not have the chance to have a partner of the same race. Any woman was the object of admiration of all the men, not to mention the princess who was crowned with the name of Nebula.
With the high status of the Star Elf Race, they did not lack the opposite sex. It was just that most of them were women of the subsidiary races. They were all carbon-based creatures made of flesh and blood. They were far less attractive than the highly condensed energy of the same race. Highly condensed energy would not only forge a perfect body, but it would also deeply condense the consciousness and soul.
"Major General, we have arrived in the Milky Way. This is the latest biological data from the space probe in the Lost Star Field. There is an unknown creature patrolling. Please take a look."
The mechanical voice of the artificial intelligence interrupted his thoughts. Harrington turned his gaze to the wall. It was a somewhat blurry image. It was a huge feathered creature. When it spread its wings, it was many times larger than their tunnel-class battleship. It was almost comparable to a starship.
