Chapter 587: Array of Deep Space Universal Monitoring Space Stations
Liam decided to go ahead and sign-in.
"System, sign-in," he said.
[Congratulations on your seventh monthly sign-in.]
[You received 1,000 years worth of cultivation.]
[You received temporary 100x comprehension boost card] x10
[You received temporary 100x cultivation boost card] x100
[You received an array of deep space universal monitoring space stations]

Liam read the sign-in notifications slowly. His sign-in rewards seems to have become repetitive even though they are monthly.
But even with how repetitive they had become, they see very much valuable to him.
He didn’t need to read the first three rewards twice or their descriptions, to understand what they do, as he was very familiar with them.
While the first three were familiar, he wasn’t familiar with the last one but its name was self-explanatory.
Curiously, Liam focused on the reward and information about it started flowing into his head.
[Array of Deep Space Universal Monitoring Space Stations]
Description: The array of deep space space stations monitors the universe in real time, with all gathered information updating continuously.
The array has functions such as:
Universal Observation: The array observes everything happening anywhere in the universe simultaneously and in real time. Nothing occurs anywhere in existence without the array witnessing it.
Universal Mapping: The array maintains a complete living map of the entire universe updated continuously as the universe evolves.
Universal History: The array reconstructs and stores everything that has ever happened anywhere in the universe going back to the moment of creation.
Universal Communication: The array enables instantaneous communication between any two points in the universe regardless of distance.
Universal Threat Detection: The array identifies and flags anything threatening any point in the universe the operator designates as protected.
Universal Civilization Catalog: Every civilization currently existing or that has ever existed anywhere in the universe is catalogued completely and updated in real time.
Universal Anomaly Detection: The array identifies anything behaving outside expected parameters anywhere in existence and flags it immediately.
Universal Resource Mapping: Every resource of any kind anywhere in the universe catalogued and located in real time.
Universal Life Detection: Every form of life anywhere in the universe detected and catalogued regardless of biological template or operating environment.
"This... This is exactly what I need," Liam muttered.
He immediately turned to Lucy who was standing beside him.
"Lucy, I will give you a set of codes, you will use to connect to an array of deep space space station," he said.
Lucy’s brow raised slightly when she heard array of deep space space stations but she didn’t say anything.
Liam sent her the codes through his Lucid and she immediately inputted the codes into her system, without trying to verify what it was.
This was something that would had been impossible if it was a code given to her by someone else.
A second after inputting the codes, Lucy experience a slight jolt in her system, but she immediately recovered herself.
She turned to the holographic screen that was showing the details of the Global Restoration Project, and swiped.
The display changed immediately to what looks like a massive planetary system.
Liam looked at the display with curiosity on his face.
"Expand what is in the middle, Lucy," he said.
Lucy did that and the what had looked like a massive sun, expanded and became a massive metal structure.
"This is the part of the array that receives the data gathered by the space stations, processes them, and stores them," Lucy said.
Liam nodded slowly and turned to look at one of the smaller structures.
"So, these are the space stations?" He asked.
"Yes. Each of them represent a galaxy and according to the core of the array, there are at least more than 15 Trillion of the space stations. Also, more than 65 Septilion was destroyed hundreds of billions of years ago, so this is just what’s left of the entire array," Lucy said.
"15 Trillion space station. That’s an incredible amount. How was something like that possible?" Liam muttered to himself.
"The details aren’t in the core but there are some very interesting information it has saved," Lucy said.
"Tell me, what’s the amount of storage capacity of the core, for it to be to process such massive amount of data from 17 Trillion galaxies," Liam asked in shock.
"It uses quantum 2m storage," Lucy replied.
"This is actually something I need to study because I would need it soon. I currently have around 6 Yottabyte of storage, but this is only because I compressed the information I store," she said.
Liam nodded slowly when he heard this.
"Bring up the space station for the Milky Way Galaxy and every information related to the galaxy."
Lucy immediately did that and another holographic screens appeared and a massive amount of information was displayed on it.
"What kind of information do you need, master?"
"Everything. The number of planetary system in the galaxy, those that have life of any form, the form of life they have, alien races, civilisations and everything about them, even their levels of civilisation and technology. Also, I want to know of any like resources filled regions of the galaxy," Liam replied.
Lucy brought up the Milky Way station’s full dataset and the holographic display expanded across the office, filling the space from floor to ceiling with layered information organized in clean sections.
"The Milky Way Galaxy contains approximately 400 billion star systems," she said. "Of those, 2.3 trillion planetary bodies have been catalogued. The number with conditions capable of supporting life in any form is 847 billion."
Liam looked at the number. "847 billion."
"Yes. The array defines life broadly — any system that processes energy, replicates information, and responds to its environment. By that definition the 847 billion figure encompasses an enormous range. Silicon-based chemistries. Plasma-state organisms operating inside stellar bodies. Entities that metabolize radiation directly. Distributed network life with no individual physical form. Life that exists in environments Earth biology would classify as immediately lethal." She paused. "What Earth would recognize as biological life — carbon-based, liquid-solvent dependent — represents one category among many, not a baseline."
"How many of those have developed civilizations?"
Lucy pulled a secondary layer forward. "The array defines civilization as any life form that has developed organized social structure, communication systems, and intentional environmental modification. By that definition, 4.3 million planets in the Milky Way carry active civilizations right now."
Liam was quiet for a moment.
