Sulon Civilization

Baron's consideration is very clear. It is precisely because of Wang Dong's qualities that indicate he already possesses a well-developed ability for independent action.

In the absence of any obvious issues, giving him freedom and a stage is the best way to interact with him.

Rather than simply and crudely imposing others' wishes on him under the guise of "it's for your own good."

That's the way to treat unruly children, not adults.

Wang Dong's decision was also questioned by Mada.

From a safety perspective, he believes that Wang Dong's approach could easily place himself in a dangerous situation.

If it's only occasionally, it's fine, but if it persists long-term, it would provide certain enemies with an opportunity.

Wang Dong then patted his shoulder, implying deeply, "As a person, one must never forget one's original intentions, which is very important. As for the safety issue, within the baron's domain, those who might resort to violent actions against me, and have the capability to do so, are few and far between. With your abilities, I don't think they can keep up. Additionally, the baron has made separate arrangements with dedicated personnel, so there's no need to worry too much."

Seeing that Wang Dong's decision was not made impulsively but rather after careful consideration, Mada refrained from further comment.

After all, this is not such a big deal.

Everyone has their own interests and hobbies.

Singing, dancing, gaming, martial arts, painting, writing, and so on. Even for the privileged class, having some unconventional hobbies is quite normal.

In the nobility of the Bauhinia Kingdom, there are many young people who are enthusiastic about "stellar racing". Wang Dong just likes to personally pilot spaceships for mining. What's wrong with that?

Once this spreads, it may slightly tarnish Wang Dong's reputation — some people might gossip, "He's just a crude miner, hardly fit for refined society."

But those with malicious intent will use derogatory terms to describe Wang Dong, even without any evidence.

Wang Dong doesn't mind at all.

He won't forget his original intentions.

Nor will he forget what era he's living in.

The supreme military power of the Fire Warship is fundamental.

Everything else can be considered incidental.

With the assistance system in place, Wang Dong can engage in battle in the alternate space battlefield once a month from any location, consuming only one unit of low-level energy crystal.

If he doesn't fully utilize this advantage, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

What's most important?

Of course, it's development!

Having the "golden finger" is most pitiful when there's not enough time for development.

In his past life, Wang Dong had experienced enough hardship because of this.

This time, he wouldn't let go of any opportunity for development.

Development is the top priority.

So Wang Dong doesn't hesitate to give himself a slightly negative label, using the excuse of "enjoying mining and relieving psychological pressure" to gain some free time.

Wang Dong steers his near-space mining spaceship into the asteroid belt of the Blackstone Galaxy.

The Cyborg didn't leave but lurked nearby, ready to assist Wang Dong at any time.

Communication is difficult within the asteroid belt, so for safety reasons, Mada insisted on staying close by, a decision Wang Dong didn't object to.

After all, as a guard fleet, this is part of their job.

Moreover, safety is indeed something to be taken seriously.

This time, Lin Hui and Chen Shayi did not accompany him.

With the Cyborg in the Blackstone Galaxy, there's basically no need to worry.

In case of any accidents, Chen Shayi's Skylark and Lin Hui's Vanguard can quickly provide support.

After advancing a certain distance and casually mining minerals from several asteroids, Wang Dong's near-space mining ship suddenly disappeared upon entering a void region.

It directly entered the cargo hold of the Pond ship, concealed by the Mirage system, making it appear as though it had vanished.

Having spent nearly a month without returning to the Pond ship, Wang Dong felt a bit nostalgic.

But time is precious, so he went straight to the commander's seat and began issuing orders.

After all, when not in the mining area, he could only secure about twenty-four hours of free time.

Time is somewhat tight and cannot be wasted casually.

He carefully placed several monitoring devices around.

After a month, the onboard Fire Source had completed its buffering.

Activating the secondary function of the auxiliary system, entering the "high-speed human-machine data interaction" state.

Consuming one unit of low-level energy crystal, activating the "capture of alternate space signals" function.

Low-level energy crystal reserve: 53 units.

Slightly inclined.

"Beep, the onboard Fire has received an alternate space signal and can enter the alternate space battlefield. Please confirm, Captain."

There's no need to be in the cold and silent void of space, nor to wait for randomly appearing alternate space signals.

In the asteroid belt of the Blackstone Galaxy, relying on the powerful capabilities of the auxiliary system, the Pond ship unsurprisingly received an alternate space signal.

"Enter the alternate space battlefield!"

Wang Dong calmly instructed.

The next moment, the shipboard Fire surged violently, guided by the alternate space signal, using the mysterious ability of the shipboard Fire, the Pond ship was transported to another time and space.

Wang Dong regained his senses quickly.

The efficiency of the purple-quality Sky Survey radar was equally quick.

When he came to his senses, the preliminary star map had already been presented in virtual imaging.

This was an expansive starfield, devoid of the glow of stars nearby and the presence of any planets.

This was a sparse material region, commonly found in the void between galaxies.

In this vast emptiness, the only artificial object was a spaceship.

A large, irregularly shaped sphere, comparable to a small city-sized spacecraft, without obvious armament or energy shields, cruising at a moderate speed in this empty space.

Maintaining its concealed status, the Pond ship appeared off the side and rear of this spacecraft.

Rather than rushing into action, Wang Dong waited a few minutes for the conclusion of the data intrusion.

Perhaps due to there being only one spaceship, the target of intrusion was limited, making intelligence gathering quite challenging. Ten minutes later, the conclusion seemed quite brief.

"Alternate space civilization: Sulon Civilization, unclear history

Civilization level: Second-level interstellar civilization

Primary energy: nuclear energy, etc.

Scope of influence: unclear

Ship type combat power: unclear

Language: Sulon language

Civilization system: Democratic Federation"

Except for the significant conclusion of being a "second-level interstellar civilization", most other aspects were marked as "unclear".

Wang Dong had expected this.

Data intrusion is more effective in scenarios with extensive data exchange.
