Could we measure earths speed relative to the center of the universe?

Since i heard really often that light always travels at the same speed. Even if i travel at half the speed of light, and shine a light to the Front, the light would travel at the speed of light not 1.5 times the speed of light.

With this method we could build 3 long tubes (one for each axis, x;y;z) and then measure how long the light take inside the tubes, with this data we could calculate the speed of this facility in relation to the center of the universe. Is this possible, what would be the challenges?

There is no such thing as the center of the universe. It’s not an object or a volume like you normally thing of. Take the surface of a sphere for example. The surface of a sphere has no center. Note that there’s no evidence that the universe is any particular shape. In fact, we think it’s probably infinite.
