It was no surprise to Wang Dong that some parts of the Honor Battleship Exhibition Hall were classified military secrets.
The Honor Battleship Exhibition Hall of the Zijing Kingdom was quite renowned throughout the surrounding star regions.
It was personally established by one of the former kings of the Zijing Kingdom.
That king was a battleship enthusiast.
He used the power of the kingdom to collect information on many battleships and built virtual models.
The data in the Battleship Exhibition Hall even included the Gigantic Deep-Space Mothership used by the ancestral "Seed Fleet" of this human civilization during their voyage into deep space.
While some exaggeration in the presentation was likely, this was the most comprehensive source of information Wang Dong could access.
The universe is infinitely vast. Even if a battleship could travel at the speed of light, it still wouldn't be fast enough.
Because of this, various interstellar civilizations across the stars developed their own methods of interstellar movement based on their respective civilizational paths.
Such technologies included spatial distortion, warp drive, wormhole generators, stellar gravity well jumps, anti-space traversal, and many more—fifty-six billion civilizations, fifty-six billion methods, truly countless.
Of course, these advanced technologies were mostly mastered by high-tier interstellar civilizations. Some were even based on unique racial talents, having little to do with human civilization.
Back then, human civilization underwent several technological revolutions and finally unlocked nuclear fusion technology and lit up the tech tree for high-molecular-level materials, charging into space with pride and becoming a Level 1 Interstellar Civilization.
Using "mushroom bombs," humanity managed to bully a nearby civilization that had just stepped into space and was also at Level 1.
Flush with confidence, they adopted the strategy of "big ships and mushrooms" and successfully claimed control over a region spanning ten light-years around the solar system.
Freed from planetary constraints and newly capable of harvesting resources from space, Earth—long drained by its "children"—was suddenly filled to the brim again.
The whole of human civilization flourished. Fueled by the surge of materials, it entered another round of technological explosion.
Thus, "Deep-Space FTL Jump" was born.
Although this method had numerous flaws—such as imprecise control over jump destinations and distances—it was still faster-than-light travel.
Having it or not was fundamentally different.
A Level 1 Interstellar Civilization researching a technology usually available only to Level 4 and above—this was a true miracle.
After mastering "Deep-Space FTL Jump," human civilization continued to expand.
Level 1 yet enjoying Level 4 treatment—it was like being blessed by destiny, no reason to hold back.
One battleship after another entered service, and human civilization began to wage war across the stars, expanding their domain from a ten-light-year radius to several tens, and the area was still growing.
Then they encountered a Kamora Civilization pioneer fleet.
And destroyed it.
That stirred up a hornet's nest.
"Kamora Civilization" was a collective name. The Kamora super-galaxy cluster housed more than 600 interstellar civilizations, all intertwined in complex relationships.
The pioneer fleet annihilated by the Aquablue Civilization's vanguard belonged to a Level 1 civilization within the Kamora cluster—a subordinate to a Level 3 civilization.
So they called for their elder.
That Level 3 civilization wasn't particularly concerned about losing a subordinate's fleet, but was very interested in this Aquablue Civilization.
A Level 1 civilization that could control a domain spanning dozens of light-years? That meant one thing.
They likely possessed faster-than-light travel technology.
It was a once-in-a-millennium jackpot.
That Level 3 civilization had been stuck at its level for tens of thousands of years, lacking only a faster-than-light interstellar travel method to advance.
So, without hesitation, they launched a military campaign and set off for Earth.
In the year 3998 AD, the war between the Aquablue Federation and the Kamora Civilization ended with Aquablue's defeat.
Thus began the "Seed Fleets." Thus, this branch of human civilization billions of light-years away was born. Thus came the Zijing Kingdom. Thus came Wang Dong.
Wang Dong: Heh.
Within the Honor Battleship Exhibition Hall, digital data imagery displayed the Gigantic Deep-Space Mothership used by the "Seed Fleet" during its journey.
These colossal motherships were the size of cities, each capable of carrying millions of people.
They not only had fully functioning self-sustaining ecosystems suitable for large-scale farming and animal husbandry, but also carried the latest "Wide-Area Deep-Space FTL Jump" system developed by Aquablue Civilization during their century-long war with a Level 3 Kamora Civilization.
Once fully charged, the system could perform wide-area, ultra-long-range random spatial jumps.
That meant the endpoint of the jump couldn't be determined.
This wide-area random deep-space jump was another breakthrough building on "Deep-Space FTL Jump."
When jump speed exceeded 10,000 times the speed of light, and distance surpassed 10,000 light-years, it was called a "Wide-Area Deep-Space FTL Jump."
Although it still couldn't pinpoint exact arrival coordinates, this upgraded version had already outpaced most Level 6 civilizations' FTL technologies in some respects.
In short, black tech.
Unfortunately, aside from being used to flee, the technology wasn't particularly useful.
Since the destination couldn't be controlled, every jump flung the ship into an unknown region tens of thousands of light-years away.
Becoming lost in space was inevitable.
Unless you were incredibly lucky, you were never going home again.
In the end, Aquablue Civilization still lost the war.
But out of a total of 3,108 Seed Fleets, most managed to escape the Kamora blockade thanks to the Gigantic Deep-Space Motherships and their wide-area FTL jumps.
The seeds of Aquablue Civilization scattered throughout the cosmos.
Some may have perished before taking root, for various reasons.
But most found suitable star regions and continued to grow, extending the reach of human civilization.
Aquablue Civilization unlocked the "Galactic Seeder" achievement.
Now, ten thousand years later, Wang Dong was able to observe one of these unique Gigantic Deep-Space Motherships—each Seed Fleet had only one—through the Kunpeng Livestream Platform.
After millennia, the original mothership had long since decayed. Reportedly, the main body was now on display at the People's Heroes Memorial Plaza on Chang'an Star, capital of the Heavenly Tang Empire.
The Honor Battleship Exhibition Hall had the full digital data model of the Gigantic Deep-Space Mothership.
With the full data model, one could gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the pinnacle of Aquablue Civilization's technology.
Just like Wang Dong was doing now.
"Requesting access to the Gigantic Deep-Space Mothership."
"Request accepted. Loading data... Load complete."
In the next moment, Wang Dong found himself standing inside a vast command deck—compared to a destroyer's bridge, the difference was like a villa versus a shack.
"Deep-space voyage. Rebuilding home. The flame of civilization shall never be extinguished.
Welcome aboard Aquablue Civilization Gigantic Deep-Space Mothership No. 099."
A gentle female electronic voice rang out.
Wang Dong took a deep breath.
Though it wasn't his first time visiting this mothership.
Each time he heard this greeting, he felt a profound mix of emotions—the despair of losing one's home intertwined with the hope of rebuilding civilization, the confusion of facing the unknown blended with the weight of responsibility. All of these combined into a fierce, unwavering determination.
"Deep-space voyage. Rebuilding home. The flame of civilization shall never be extinguished."
This is what human civilization is!
Even in another universe, human civilization remains human civilization!
