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?

I think you may enjoy the book We Have No Idea. If you study this stuff it may be too simple, but as someone with just an interest in space, it’s freaking awesome.
