You need;
1xGuardian Module Blueprint Segment
17xGuardian Power Cell
20xGuardian Technology Component
24xPattern Delta Obelisk Data
8xHardware Diagnostic Sensor

Search online for a system for module blueprint (you can get scan data here but doesnt involve getting to explore other sites/systems).
Seach for a system full of obelisks to scan, you can scan one multiple times if you don't want to do ram tah mission but it involves flying away and coming back (just switch to menu and do in solo or group so you dont interupt others or vice versa). Prettymuch everything but the data scans requires you to shoot and then collect in the srv. I suggest you sign up to inara and look into linking your account as it will save you alot of time in game when checking what you need for differnt items.I belive there are ways to cheese to the drones by just shooting them in the ship but I havn't tried.
Try and bring a ship with a few srvs and not too big as they are a pain to land nearby and you will probably loose a few and need to restock(should be astroid station closer than the bubble to stop and restock).

Step 1: get appropriate materials.
Step 2: unlock guardian shield boosters

I just did this a month ago, got 4 module blueprints: fsd boost, hybrid capacitor, Guardian shield booster and the Guardian hull reinforcement. All are pretty cool and worth the effort.

I found that :

I couldn't really land close enough to the Guardian site to allow my ships point defence to take out the guardian defence ships.

When logging out at the site, don't bother moving your SRV despite the warning, it moves you just to the boundary anyway, so I let it do that.

I spent some time looking at the site from the external camera suite,helping me to locate the main building in the site and look for potential pylon sites.

Going around the site before activating the two pylons at the main building means that you will trigger the pylons, but more importantly, the defence ships, the sentinels. Taking them out before starting the pylon charge up makes it much easier.

Hiding behind structures and inching out in turret view allows you to take out the sentinels easily. If they cannot see you, they cannot launch the annoying, SRV bouncing missiles. It can be frustrating being hit all the time so hiding really helps. Remember to scoop all mats from the sentinel wreckage.

Scan the obelisks as you go past them, they show up on the radar and are needed for the blueprint recipes.

You need to repeat the whole sequence once for one blueprint. So that is a full round of killing all the sentinels and activating the pylons to release the orb to scan for a single blueprint. If you want 2 *different*guardian modules (not different sizes of the same one) in your ship, you need to do the sequence 2 times etc

Magnus gateway has a blueprint provider and also tells you all the mats needed alongside the blueprints. I personally used Inara.cz.

Logging out then back in resets the obelisks and sentinels and the pylons.
Remember to take some screenshots!!

I had a great time, but prob cos I researched and planned first.

Those videos help alot, they mention it but BRING alot of phosphorus and sulphur for Ammo and Fuel Synthesis, and if you suck like me driving an SRV, bring a second one.
Wish i knew that before going in an faraway guardian site, then had to travel back for an SRV refill.

You know...i'm trying to go farway off the bubble, so i started to outfit an JumpConda but i'm so afraid of life that i can't find a way to make Conda jump far enough, because IS SO heavy!
i'll open an threat in the future to get some help, i think bringing so many repair modules and stuff to protect the travel is getting me anywhere.

I just figure out that, is not a pleasure experience to travel in an heavy BRICK!
So CMDRs like you that bring all informations, even the little ones are GOLD!

i'm using it, but...
what>

defences,
repairs,
scanners,
should i get only laser or ammo based weapons,
using neutron highway should i even try,
i need to waste 100+ more hours engenering stuff to their best,
go conda? go aspx?
wings?
rats can help all over the galaxy?
SRV? Fighters?
should i carry passengers?
go on gnosis?
wait for closed events?
can someone help me there?
will i find alliens who molest me?
the meaning of life?
where is Leo?
Gaxxla is real?
the cake is a lie?

This game is freaking complicated, because stuff don't presents itself, i'm not going to an 15k ly travel and suffer my way out of that, so i'll ask in a thread all about that because guides don't help much in this game.
i barely made 2k when testing the neutron highway.
