Chapter 269: Grand Duke!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A long time ago, even before the crisis of the unexpected enemy broke out, Li Wenyuan had extracted a lot of interesting data from the archive planet.
At that time, because the central processing unit had not been repaired and the Observation Terminal could not be used, there were many things that could not be carefully searched.
However, there were indeed many surprises on this planet that had a lot to do with mankind. For example, the lost object, the Miniature Galaxy, successfully gave Li Wenyuan the opportunity to pack it up.
The introduction had already made it very clear that there was a galaxy sealed inside the Miniature Galaxy. Even though the data had been greatly distorted, the size of the Miniature Galaxy in the accompanying picture could still be vaguely compared with the reference object.
Li Wenyuan was sure that the thing that was the glass tube that sealed the virus was at most the size of a normal adult human. It was hard to imagine how such a thing could contain an entire galaxy.
And this technology was the key to his packing. He would put those megastructures, planetary systems, and even the Tiangang Battleship into it and unseal them when he reached his destination. This way, he could continue to maintain his peak condition.
With the help of the Observation Terminal, it wasn’t difficult to find the places that were suspected to be lost in the lost property records of the Miniature Galaxy.
Even though the coordinates had changed slightly due to the age, Li Wenyuan quickly confirmed those places under the carpet surveillance and sent a disguised spaceship to investigate.
After all, he was already dead in the galaxy, and the old battleship that was used for performances had been abandoned by him. Under the circumstances of putting on a show, his current spaceship had a layer of nanoshell that changed its form, making it look like the Mediator’s spaceship.
Thus, the strange, dark green research spaceship with a dim light began its journey in the Milky Way.
Occasionally, Milky Way travelers noticed these spaceships and recognized that they were the Mediator. They couldn’t help but sigh.
“After the Administrator, the Mediator is also doing this?”
Although they were curious, the matter was quickly dismissed and closed as the normal exploration behavior of the Mediator since the Mediator was not as big as the Administrator in the past, which could be encountered almost everywhere in the galaxy.
It didn’t take long for Li Wenyuan’s spaceship to bring back the results from the continuous scanning.
Throughout the entire process, he was also observing the galaxy that was suspected to be lost, so he did not need to report the results himself.
“There’s actually nothing… Considering the age of the records and the possibility of personal memory errors, perhaps the Miniature Galaxy was not lost in these places.”
“However, since the Curtain Penetrometer was picked up before, it’s possible that the Miniature Galaxy is in the hands of a collector, too?”
He pondered the reason why he could not find the Miniature Galaxy at the target location, but he soon noticed something special in a certain galaxy.
“Why is the central star here a white dwarf?”
A certain suspected lost galaxy was formed by a white dwarf and its broken celestial system.
Although such celestial systems were rare in the Milky Way, they were not non-existent. It seemed very normal for them to appear here.
However, there was something strange about this white dwarf.
Li Wenyuan had also watched the explosion on the central processing unit. It was refreshing to see the supernova explosion with his own eyes.
He did know how the active purification agreement detonated a star. It was a derivative of the star supercharger that came with the Zero Element Furnace.
This special megastructure could compress a normal-sized star into a neutron star. Although the neutron star formed was not perfect, it could also be used to extract zero-element matter.
The active purification agreement used a simplified version of a mobile star supercharger, which could make the already unstable star compression process even more unstable. It could even cause the star to directly enter the supernova explosion.
According to the mass of the star, neutron stars and black holes were the possible results of the star supercharger, and so was the white dwarf.
The formation of white dwarfs was usually due to the star’s insufficient mass. When a supernova exploded, the pressure and temperature of the core were not enough to form a neutron star, and only white dwarfs with a lower density could be formed.
According to the Lost Property Records and the situation of this galaxy, the central celestial body should be an ordinary star.
The scale of the star was still far from the supernova explosion. It had at least five billion years to live. How could it form a white dwarf now?
Even though there was a possibility of a coordinate error, if an anomaly appeared in a place that already had an anomaly, it was almost certain that there was a secret.
Li Wenyuan’s intuition told him that there was something wrong here, so he further increased the scanning of this galaxy and its surrounding galaxies. At the same time, he began to read the history of this place in the Milky Way network.
Soon, he noticed a crash record of a certain civilization’s spaceship here.
The records were classified as top-secret documents within the civilization and would probably not be made public until the civilization perished.
However, Li Wenyuan found the content he wanted.
A research team that passed by this place discovered a magical box on a planet in a nearby galaxy. The experts of the expedition team believed that this box would be of great benefit to their space technology, so they wanted to bring it back to their civilization for research.
However, when they were passing by the current galaxy, they were attacked by pirates. According to the last distress signal, they discovered a huge spaceship that they had never seen before. It seemed to be doing something to the star in the galaxy.
The investigation team of this civilization followed the army to this place, only to find that the star had become a white dwarf.
This situation instantly made the leaders of the civilization realize that their enemy had an unbelievable level of technology, and they had no choice but to give up on revenge.
However, the follow-up investigation did not stop. After some investigation, they finally confirmed who killed their scientist.
He was a notorious person who had a lot of connections in the underworld of the Milky Way. His shadow could be seen in almost every dirty industrial chain – Grand Duke Yinxing!
And the battleship that seemed to have turned the star into a white dwarf was Grand Duke Yinxing’s ship, the Brilliant Star.
“This is unexpected.”
He had confirmed the whereabouts of the Miniature Galaxy, but after reading the records, Li Wenyuan almost forgot about Grand Duke Yinxing.
After searching through the database for a long time, he found the relevant information in the initial records.
“From the content, Brilliant Star seems to be somewhat similar to the mobile star supercharger used in the active purification agreement…”
Li Wenyuan did not believe that there were people in the Milky Way, or even any other civilization, who could develop technology that could compress stars on their own.
His first reaction was, what kind of human relic had been picked up by some native?
However, he soon felt that it was most likely not a human relic but a relic of the active purification agreement.
Also, it was very likely that it was something left behind after the war between the active purification agreement and the custody agreement that Grand Duke Yinxing had accidentally obtained.
“In that case, I’ll have to take it back… The active purification agreement is also a part of me. Its things naturally belong to me. Perhaps I can even get the Miniature Galaxy back….”
