Chapter 347 The "Safe Zone" at the Edge of the Galaxy (4K)
The inner world of the earth, the fiery sea.

This fiery inferno remains vast and boundless, its flames churning endlessly.

A figure stood firmly in the center of the scorching sea.

That was none other than the ruler of the Fire Demon Civilization, the King of Fire Demons.

The Fire Demon King's body was several times larger than that of an ordinary fire demon, reaching hundreds of meters in length. Even when it was still, the oppressive aura it exuded was enough to make ordinary fire demons tremble and crawl on their knees.

Today, he welcomed a distinguished guest.

That was Ant-Man Mister, the envoy from the monsters.

On the desert planet, Mister and his druidic forces achieved nothing and had to return disappointed.

The task assigned to him by the leader, Aida, was to recruit the Fire Demon civilization into the monster faction.

Among all the level 5 monster civilizations, the Fire Demon civilization is considered relatively conservative.

Therefore, upon learning that the monsters had sent a special envoy, the Fire Demon King became extremely impatient and even considered taking action.

However, after listening to Mister's description, the Fire Demon King fell into deep thought.

"So you mean, humans are about to wage war against us monsters?"

“Yes,” Mister nodded. “And it will be an unprecedented war.”

As mentioned before, no matter how intense the conflicts between monsters are, they will always unite when fighting against humans.

Finally, the Fire Demon King nodded in agreement.

Mister smiled slightly and bowed to him.

"Thank you very much for your support and understanding."

The Fire Demon King waved his hand casually, a ferocious smile appearing on his lips.

"If it's about dealing with humans, then our Fire Demon civilization will definitely not hesitate to contribute."

three days later.

Stan Star, at the edge of the McCallum Galaxy.

"It's about time to set off," Li Ye thought to himself.

With the help of more than 30,000 alien miners, the Tomorrow Alliance finally exhausted the mineral resources on Stan.

Whether it was iron ore, saltpeter, coal, or gold, silver, and copper ore, all of them filled the warehouse to the brim.

During this period, many alien miners expressed their desire to join the Tomorrow Alliance, but were politely declined by Li Ye.

Li Ye even asked Bondi about interstellar orbits.

The latter patiently provided an explanation.

The so-called "interstellar orbit" is not the kind of structure made of steel that people usually think of, but an acceleration orbit composed entirely of gravity.

The interstellar orbit was built by a highly advanced civilization in the McCallum system.

For it, it was just a simple matter.

Following the directions given by Bondi, Tomorrow Alliance arrived at the location of their interstellar orbit.

Looking around, there was nothing at all.

Before the Alliance departed, Bondi solemnly reminded everyone.

That interstellar orbit can only be seen using gravitational wave radar or spacetime curvature sensors.

The main body of the interstellar orbit is actually three completely tamed neutron stars.

They are not static, but rather move precisely around a common center point in an extremely complex, resonant dance.

The immense mass of the three neutron stars is constrained and guided by an incomprehensible technology, like three tacitly coordinated dancers, using their own gravity to weave and maintain a dynamic and stable, enormous spacetime distortion structure.

This structure is the body of the interstellar orbit—an incredibly smooth, deep gravitational vortex. Its shape is not a simple funnel, but more like a superdimensional slide that converges towards the center along a spiral.

It is worth noting that the edges and outer walls of interstellar orbits are not as safe as one might imagine; in fact, they are extremely dangerous.

That was a spacetime gradient distorted to the extreme; any object that dared to intrude would be instantly torn into elementary particles by the enormous tidal forces.

Only the track entrance is completely safe.

Without gravitational wave radar or spacetime curvature sensors, finding the orbital entrance is clearly not as easy as imagined.

Just as everyone was sighing in despair, Li Ye suddenly had an idea.

"Fang Yong, try using the gravitational wave controller from the Iron Whale."

With his command, the Iron Whale activated its gravitational wave controller. The manipulated gravity, like the most delicate tentacles, released extremely subtle gravitational wave pulses into the surrounding spacetime.

These gravitational wave pulses spread out at the speed of light, unaffected by most of spacetime, like pebbles thrown into a bottomless abyss. However, in a specific region ahead, the pulses encountered a completely different situation. They did not disappear, but were distorted and reflected back by a powerful, complex, and highly regular gravitational field.

Using this data, Novi quickly mapped out the shape of the interstellar orbit and located its entrance.

“Very good!” Li Ye nodded. “Let’s set off now.”

The Tomorrow Alliance then cautiously entered interstellar orbit along the entrance.

There was no violent collision, no engine roar.

The moment it entered, the entire interstellar orbit emitted a deep hum, and thus began to operate.

All the mobile cities seemed to be enveloped by a smooth piece of amber that had suddenly become solid, their power engines completely shut down, surrendering everything to gravity.

Along this invisible, hyperdimensional slide, the mobile cities sped forward, their speedometer readings jumping at an almost insane rate, each second increasing in numbers enough to leave any physicist speechless.

However, the interior of the mobile city was unexpectedly stable, with the only physical sensation being a strange feeling of weightlessness, as if one were in free fall.

Looking out slowly from Li Ye, the scene beyond the city dome seemed to transcend reality.

All the starlight was swallowed up and distorted, stretching into countless thin, pure white lines that pierced through the field of vision, weaving a blinding tunnel of light. The spaceship itself seemed to have become part of the light as well.

"Novi, calculate the current speed of the Tomorrow."

"The current speed is 15000 kilometers per hour."

"what?!"

Li Ye was stunned.

This is unbelievable!

At the current rate, Tomorrow Alliance will arrive at its destination in less than an hour.

"The technological level of the McCarran Galaxy is truly remarkable," he couldn't help but exclaim.

Novi also reminded him of something.

"If you feel it's not fast enough, you can also speed it up using a gravitational wave controller."

".No."

The current speed alone was already astonishing to Li Ye. He dared not accelerate any further; if he made a mistake, he would be finished.

"That's 15000 kilometers per hour," he murmured to himself.

Since arriving here and witnessing the power of mobile cities, Li Ye considers himself to have seen the world.

But after arriving at the edge of the McCarran system, he felt like a frog in a well.

Interstellar Corporation, planetary-level mining, interstellar orbit.
Everything before him was beyond his comprehension. Less than an hour later, the Tomorrow Alliance departed its interstellar orbit.

After driving for six or seven hours, the group finally arrived at their destination, the "safe zone".

After seeing the scene in the safe zone, everyone was stunned.

This is clearly a dense cluster of planets!
There are a total of twenty or thirty planets scattered around.

The planet's surface is covered with various interstellar buildings, countless defensive fortifications, space fleets, and spaceships of all sizes coming and going.

What's most impressive is that there are multiple interconnected "space rails" between the planets, with several high-speed interstellar trains running on the tracks.

The inhabitants of each planet then travel between multiple planets aboard interstellar trains.

After a long while, Li Ye finally came to his senses.

He carefully observed the space rails.

These parallel orbits, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, float in space, seemingly bound by an invisible force field, stretching all the way to the horizon, stringing together the isolated planets in space like pearls.

The track is not made of solid steel, but is a composite structure forged from some strange substance and embedded with energy conduits.

Along the tracks, navigation beacons, like eternal blue stars, twinkle regularly, guiding the interstellar trains.

The interstellar trains do not rely on wheels, but rather float above tracks and travel at high speeds.

Not only that, but they even spotted some "big guys" in the wilderness.

Those heavy cargo interplanetary trains that resemble mobile fortresses.

These freight behemoths are often tens of kilometers long, and are more like a string of sharply angled asteroids forcibly tethered together than trains.

Each cargo hold was enormous, and its surface was not a smooth, streamlined shape, but rather crudely welded together from thick, riveted composite armor plates, and covered with dents and burn marks from micrometeorite impacts.

Heavy cargo interplanetary trains thus traveled between multiple planets, transporting goods.

Upon closer inspection, Li Ye also discovered several rocky planets similar to Stan Star.

The vast majority of heavy freight interplanetary trains originated from this route, seemingly laden with minerals mined from rocky planets.

Seemingly realizing something, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"Could these rocky planets have been specially moved here so that alien civilizations in the planetary cluster could mine their mineral resources?"

Upon closer inspection, he made an even more shocking discovery.

All the planets in the planetary cluster were arranged in a regular pattern, and the distance between any two planets was just right, approximately tens of thousands of kilometers apart.

Although this distance seems far, it is not actually that large for the distance between planets.

In a moment of inspiration, Li Ye had a bold guess.

Could these alien civilizations have migrated from their home planet and spontaneously formed this planetary cluster?

Along with their formation, they also brought over several rocky planets to mine resources.

This is quite possible.

After all, the Tomorrow Alliance obtained the Level 6 "Planetary Engine" blueprints when they killed the Emperor Monster Gidon.

For the technologically advanced McCarran Galaxy civilization, migrating their home planet and moving planets was not a difficult task.

The planetary cluster reacted quickly to the unexpected visitors.

The two space fleets then charged in with great momentum.

Li Ye carefully observed the configuration of the space fleet.

A space flagship, carrying a considerable number of space fighters and ground troops, is also equipped with devastating main naval guns and powerful shields.

Two space battleships, possessing the heaviest armor and the most powerful firepower.

The four space cruisers are well-balanced in their weaponry and extremely agile.

Six space destroyers, incredibly fast and highly maneuverable, patrolled the outer perimeter of the fleet.

In addition, there are multiple space frigates, space logistics supply ships, and space reconnaissance ships.
"This space fleet is really impressive!"

Li Ye had no time for sentimentality, as the two space fleets before him seemed about to engage in combat.

"Novi, do they have any internet or communication systems? Let's clarify with them that we have no malicious intent," he said immediately.

After some attempts, Novi discovered the other party's network and communication system and submitted an access request.

After hesitating for a while, the other party agreed.

The projection of an alien fleet officer immediately appeared before Li Ye's eyes.

"Where did you come from? What is your purpose in coming to our K8 planetary cluster?" he asked, frowning.

Li Ye immediately gave a simple explanation.

Upon learning that the Tomorrow Alliance before them actually came from the distant solar system, the alien fleet officer's eyes showed surprise.

His previously tense attitude softened considerably.

“So you’re friends from a distant star system? Welcome to the K8 planetary cluster,” he said. “By the way, your spacecraft is quite novel. What exactly is it?”

“Mobile cities,” Li Ye replied earnestly. “This is the foundation upon which our human civilization depends for survival and for reclaiming our home.”

The planetary cluster was thus lifted from its alert and opened to the Alliance of Tomorrow.

The mobile cities then leisurely entered the K8 planetary cluster.

"Excuse me, did you migrate from your home planet to form the K8 planetary cluster?" Li Ye asked.

“Yes,” the officer replied. “On the edge of the McCarran system, we can only survive by sticking together.”

A strange light appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

It seems the edge of this galaxy is far more chaotic than he imagined.

While guiding the Alliance of Tomorrow, the officer also gave a brief introduction to the K8 planetary cluster.

532 years ago, seven alien civilizations on the edge of this galaxy spontaneously formed a planetary group in order to defend against attacks from space pirate groups, alien beasts, and predatory civilizations.

Over the next few centuries, more and more extraterrestrial civilizations applied to join the K8 planetary group.

After rigorous evaluation, the members of the K8 planetary group finally accepted them.

There are certain technological requirements for the extraterrestrial civilizations that join them.

Today, the K8 planetary group has grown to 18 members.

Although they have banded together for mutual support, the K8 planetary group has faced large-scale attacks from time to time over the past 7 years and has been forced to migrate seven times.

Li Ye fell into deep thought for a moment.

The officer's words were packed with information; he needed time to process them.

Lin Wu, standing to the side, seemed somewhat surprised.

"Seven migrations in total?"

“Yes,” the officer nodded. “Each migration is usually to avoid a powerful enemy. Once the K8 planetary cluster is breached, we will all be eaten, leaving not even bone fragments.”
