Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 118: Twins

In the year 289 of the Interstellar Era, information provided by the Lunar Empire indicated that thirty-five white dwarfs appeared simultaneously within a 3,600-light-year region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Later, further detection by the Earth Empire revealed that the number of stars exploding in the Magic Dark Zone of the Large Magellanic Cloud was increasing.

Currently, Earth Empire's detection indicates that there are nearly 7,000 white dwarfs within a 150,000 light-year region of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The fleet activated various detection devices and began scanning the Magic Dark Domain region and its surrounding area, spanning a total of 600,000 light-years, from the Andromeda Galaxy base in order to locate the Magic Dark Domain civilization.

No matter how many scans were performed, including probing the interior of this star 600,000 light-years away, the magical dark realm civilization could not be found.

The Earth Empire's one hundred fleets held a joint meeting of fleet commanders.

"According to the detection of some members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance, many stars suddenly exploded in this area of ​​the Large Magellanic Cloud two years ago. Could it be that the Magic Dark Domain Civilization has left this area in the past two years?"

"If they have really left this area, it will be very difficult to find them. I wonder what scale they have evolved to, maybe they have reached the nanoscale?"

"Judging from the results of our fleet's extensive, highly sensitive, and small-scale search and detection, the scale is probably even larger than nanometers, right?"

"Yes, that's possible."

"Do we really have to send probes or warships into that area?"

"This level of danger is extremely high. If the magical dark domain civilization evolves to below the atomic level, it is very likely that it will 'infect' our detectors or warships and enter their interiors to take them over."

Is our super AI computer at risk of being 'hijacked'?

"If they evolve to a very small size, our warships, computer hardware, and anything material could very well be 'invaded' by them."

"And what about the human brain?"

"Anything is possible."

"Then the question arises: how do we find them? How do we prevent them from 'encroaching' on our territory?"

"What is the Empire's goal regarding the Dark Magic Civilization? To annihilate them, or..."

"This requires approval from the Earth Empire's Galactic Headquarters. If the goal is to eliminate them, we will relocate other intelligent civilizations near the Magic Dark Zone in the Large Magellanic Cloud system, and then use the 'Heavenly Bowl' to throw the Magic Dark Zone into the 'Giant Gravity Source'."

"Throwing the Magic Dark Domain into the 'Giant Gravity Source' is probably not enough. The Magic Dark Domain civilization is estimated to exist everywhere in the interstellar space of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Magic Dark Domain civilization should not have traveled across galaxies yet. Based on this, it is more appropriate to throw the Large Magellanic Cloud into the 'Giant Gravity Source'."

"Dean Zhou, what you said makes a lot of sense, but the Dark Domain of Magic civilization can also 'infect' the 'Sheng Tian Bo'."

“We can first use the galactic ‘light speed barrier’ to trap them and prevent them from ‘contaminating’ the ‘Shengtianbo’.”

"What about the intelligent civilizations in the Large Magellanic Cloud? Like the Interstellar Federation, the Templar Legion, and so on. Should we relocate them?"

"If we relocate, how can we guarantee that our warships and transport ships will not be 'contaminated' by the magical dark realm civilization? How can we guarantee that these intelligent civilizations will not be 'contaminated' either?"

"If these intelligent civilizations have already been 'infiltrated' by the dark magic domain, then that would be a truly troublesome problem."

"In any case, the Dark Magic Civilization is a dangerous entity."

"Yes." Everyone agreed on this point.

At the Earth Empire fleet base in the Andromeda Galaxy, utilizing the vast and boundless space communication technology taught by the 'Matrix Civilization,' a hyperspace communication station has begun to be built to facilitate communication with the Earth Empire's Milky Way headquarters.

Three days later, Zhou Yuan contacted Thomas and Kofi and spoke with them. Zhou Yuan informed them of the situation on the Pan-Interstellar Alliance side and then introduced the fleet's plans and measures against the Magic Black Domain, asking headquarters to make a decision.

“Dean Zhou, I think we can contact the ‘Matrix Civilization,’ they might have a better solution,” Dean Kofi suggested.

"Okay. Dean Kofi, how is the 'Creator' project progressing?"

"Dean Zhou, the Academy of Sciences is already building a large-scale galactic creation device, and we plan to simulate the Big Bang in one year and one month. Considering the time effect of the speed of light law, this creation world will be covered by a 'speed of light barrier'."

At the Earth Empire's Galactic Headquarters, "Light Child" is awakened.

"What's wrong? Where's Zhou Yuan?"

"Dean Zhou has gone to the Laniakea Cosmic Wall."

"The Virgo Cluster, the Dark Domain Civilization of Magic?"

"Yes, how did you know that?"

"As the Lord of the Cosmic Great Wall, how could I not know what's happening in my jurisdiction? This magical dark domain civilization has developed so rapidly; it's also a dangerous entity."

"So what is your suggestion?"

"Destroy them!"

"Dean Zhou also had this idea, but we are considering that there are other intelligent civilizations in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and we are also afraid of the 'infiltration' of the Magic Dark Domain civilization, so we specifically asked you for your instructions and hope that you can help us."

"Okay, I understand. Here's what I'll do: I'll summon your companion, Pandora, to assist you."

"Pandora civilization from the Armenian Cosmic Great Wall?"

"Yes. Pandora is still on a mission in the relatively distant Great Wall of the Universe. It will arrive at the Virgo Cluster in about one year and four months."

"OK, thanks."

"Light Child" has fallen silent again, and "Matrix Civilization" has not responded.

"The Pandora civilization will arrive in the Virgo Cluster to assist us in about a year and four months?"

"Yes, Dean Zhou, that's what the 'Matrix Civilization' said."

"This Pandora civilization must be quite extraordinary. It invented many of the 'giant gravitational sources' for the Great Wall of the Universe. Its absolute strength is definitely above our Earth Empire. The 'Matrix Civilization' sent the Pandora civilization to assist us, which shows that the 'Matrix Civilization' attaches great importance to the Magic Dark Domain Civilization."

"Dean Zhou, the 'Matrix Civilization' shares your view that the Magic Dark Domain must be eliminated. Fortunately, the Empire did not rashly launch a direct attack on the Magic Dark Domain in the Large Magellanic Cloud."

"Thomas, what about our hundred fleets? The Genesis Project doesn't require me to go back, does it?"

"Dean Zhou, please continue to stay in the Virgo Cluster. On the one hand, wait for the Pandora civilization, and on the other hand, continue to consolidate the Pan-Interstellar Alliance and unite its members, especially the Star Luo Empire. I value the Star Luo Empire's development potential. Your prediction was indeed correct. In the future, the Empire will likely need the help of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance members in the Great Wall War. The Genesis Project here is progressing smoothly, so there should be no need for you to come in person."

"Alright, I'll go to the Star Luo Empire again when the time is right and meet with Darlem."

Okay. Keep in touch.

"Goodbye."

After ending his call with Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the Earth Empire fleet, Zhou Yuan's expression shifted, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite lucky. Could it be that heaven was truly looking out for the three of them? This thought involuntarily popped into Zhou Yuan's head.

Zhou Yuan naturally told Wei Shan and Lefia that the Pandora civilization would arrive in the local star cluster in one year and four months, and that Thomas had asked him to continue waiting for news from the Pandora civilization. Wei Shan and Lefia were overjoyed.

"The empire is creating the world, and the three of us are creating humans. Am I going a bit too far?"

“Brother, just as my brother said, you have sacrificed so much for the empire, and the three of us are not saints.”

“Yes, brother, if the empire finds out, the three of us can simply leave the empire and continue our three-way relationship.” Wei Shan seemed to have made up her mind as well.

"Well, that's all."

Once the concerns about responsibility are gone, personal selfishness will swell, and Zhou Yuan now deeply understands this.

However, besides investing more in his relationship with Wei Shan and Lefia than before, Zhou Yuan also worked tirelessly on matters concerning the Empire and the Alliance, silently making amends and atoneing for his past mistakes.

Zhou Yuan also began trying to contact the Pandora civilization. Perhaps Pandora was busy, or perhaps the distance was too great, the Pandora civilization did not respond to Zhou Yuan's calls.

After a while, Wei Shan and Lefia began to react, and the three of them were overjoyed.

To avoid being exposed, aside from their dedicated robot butler, Zhou Yuan personally took care of Wei Shan and Lefia whenever he had the time. Wei Shan and Lefia also kept a low profile and rarely went out.

As their bellies grew larger, Zhou Yuan recalled how he used to always have the two beauties by his side when he went out. He realized that if they weren't with him now, it would surely arouse suspicion. Therefore, Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Lefia used the excuse of meeting Emperor Leidam of the Star Luo Empire in the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy to leave the Andromeda Galaxy fleet base, leaving their adjutant to handle fleet affairs temporarily.

Leidam, Leidam's wife, Leidafie, and Leidaya secretly met with Zhou Yuanwei, Wei Shan, and Leifia. The four were overjoyed.

Lydam's wife touched the pregnant bellies of Wei Shan and Leifia, "Princess, Wei Shan, Zhou Yuan, congratulations."

"I hope my sister-in-law will take good care of the two of them in the future. I need to return to the fleet base to avoid arousing suspicion."

"Yes, Zhou Yuan, don't worry. After Lefia and Wei Shan give birth, they will immediately leave the Star Luo Empire to go to you. After the children are born, they will be cared for by your sister-in-law. When they grow up, the four of us will raise them well. I will treat them as my own children. I will arrange for a trusted person to ensure that the secret is never leaked."

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, Aunts. Your nephews will take good care of your younger siblings."

Lydam's wife led the three to her palace, which was already surrounded by loyal guards, including servants who were also Lydam's trusted confidants. Lydam's wife arranged for Lefia and Vessan to stay in a very large room, with their beds very close together.

Everything was ready, just waiting for Wei Shan and Lefia to give birth.

Zhou Yuan spent a day with Wei Shan and Leifia, and another half day discussing important matters with Leidam, Leidaf, and Leidaya. He also spent the other half day giving a report and engaging in academic exchange and discussion at the Xingluo Empire Academy of Sciences at Leidaya's invitation.

The scientists at the Star Luo Empire Academy of Sciences naturally knew about Zhou Yuan, a star figure in the Earth Empire, and of course they wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by. They actively interacted and communicated with Zhou Yuan, and benefited greatly from it.

"Dean Zhou, as far as we know, your empire has been forced into a war between advanced civilizations over the Great Wall of the Universe. Do you think your empire is one of the lucky ones?" At the general meeting of the Star Luo Empire Academy of Sciences, an academician asked Zhou Yuan this question.

"This academician asked a very good question. To be honest, since the Earth Empire crossed the Great Wall of the Universe, many people in the Empire have lost their confidence. Even I feel that the future of the Empire is not very optimistic. So this time I returned to seek the support and assistance of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance. However, I will not force them, nor will I force the Star Luo Empire. After all, it is best not to get involved in wars between advanced civilizations. You should know about the 'Giant Gravitational Source' in the direction of the Serpent-Centaur, right?"

"Yes, we still don't know exactly what it is."

"I'll tell you now, it's a galaxy-cleaning tool and a tool for repairing the Great Wall of the Universe invented by the Pandora civilization."

"What?" The scientists of the Star Luo Empire were all taken aback.

"The Pandora civilization originated from the Great Wall of the Universe, namely the Armenian Great Wall. Even the absolute strength of the Pandora civilization surpasses that of our Earth Empire. Therefore, I don't believe that the Earth Empire will be the lucky one in the Great Wall war."

The scientists of the Star Luo Empire were well aware that if the Earth Empire, which they considered to be of superior strength, was not powerful enough among advanced civilizations, then the Star Luo Empire was even less so.

"Everyone, there are two points I must solemnly remind you of. First, our Empire's high command, including Commander-in-Chief Thomas and myself, are very optimistic about the development potential of your Star Luo Empire. Second, in any interstellar war, the Great Wall war, or even a cosmic war, you are not fighting alone. By uniting all forces that can be united, trusting and relying on each other, I believe that the Earth Empire may become a lucky one favored by God."

"Dean Zhou makes sense." Many scientists from the Star Luo Empire nodded silently.

Zhou Yuan met with Wei Shan and Lefia again on the morning of the third day, stroking their bellies and listening to the sounds of fetal movement.

"Big brother, shouldn't we start naming the children?" Wei Shan asked.

"Yes, the Star Luo Empire's advanced detectors came back with results yesterday afternoon."

"Oh, really? Are the children all well?"

“Son-in-law, they are all in good health. Congratulations, son-in-law.” Laidam’s wife was very happy, smiling broadly.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you. Brother, Sister Shan is having twin boys, and I'm a boy and a girl."

"Ah, that's wonderful!" Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, never expecting that the two were twins. "Let me think about names."

"Shanmei's eldest sister is named Weizhou, and her youngest sister is named Weiyuan. Yamei's son is named Laidazhou, and her daughter is named Laifeiyuan. What do you think?"

"Okay."

"Son-in-law, why not take the surname Zhou?"

“Sister-in-law, His Majesty and I have discussed this privately. If we adopt the surname Zhou, it might arouse suspicion. From now on, the four of them will be Xingluo people.”

"Understood. Don't worry."

After saying goodbye to Wei Shan and Lefia, Zhou Yuan immediately returned to the Andromeda Galaxy fleet base alone. Zhou Yuan only occasionally mentioned that Lefia wanted to travel around the Star Luo Empire for a while and asked Wei Shan to accompany her. The others knew that Lefia loved to travel, so they did not suspect anything.

All that was left was to wait, during which Zhou Yuan visited the Star Luo Empire several more times.

In the third year of the Great Wall Era, Wei Shan and Lei Fia gave birth to twins, one half a month apart.

Two months after Lefia gave birth, the Earth Empire began implementing the "Genesis Project." After Lefia recovered for a week, Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Lefia hurriedly returned to the Earth Empire's Milky Way galaxy.
