……。

The long river of time is flowing, the development of human civilization is changing with each passing day, the "pearl" in the crown of human civilization - the size of the city in the sky has more than doubled compared with two years ago, and the flying machines coming and going from all over the world are like dense bee swarms, coming and going in an orderly manner.

The 'top of civilization' in the final center of the Sky City is the goal that everyone looks up to, and everyone who enters the Sky City has a pilgrimage gaze when they see the world's tallest building.

The achievements of human scientific and technological civilization today are closely related to the person at the top of the civilization.

On the top floor of the top of civilization - the space observation room, Zhou Xing and a group of scientific researchers are conducting a tense observation experiment, and the huge holographic screen shows the instrument pictures of several giant instruments suspended in space.

"The position of the No. 2 tunnel machine is determined, and the position of the No. 3 tunnel machine is determined,...... , the location of tunnel machine No. 7 is unknown."

"Mr. Zhou, the No. 7 signal has disappeared, and the Star Field Clairvoyant has not been able to discover its location. ”

"Is there a problem with the annunciator?"

"Mr. Zhou, what should I do?"

"Mr. Zhou, without the participation of the No. 7 tunnel machine, the project can be carried out. ”

“……。 ”

The other tunneling machines determined the positioning and successfully established link communication, however, the No. 7 space tunneling machine was nowhere to be found, and the 'lookout' project was 'unsuccessful', and everyone looked at Zhou Xing and waited for his order.

Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked, "Xiaozhi, can you deduce the reason for the failure of the No. 7 machine?"

"Boss, according to the existing data analysis, the biggest possibility for No. 7 is that the cold atomlocator is malfunctioning, or that there is force field interference in the star field. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

"Well, if the cold atom locator fails, how long will it take to complete the self-repair?" Zhou Xing's face sank, and Zhou Xiaozhi asked.

"Boss, the cold atom locator is an extremely precision component, and if it fails, the repair time of the nanobot is estimated to be 1-8 months. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

The irregular thermal motion of atoms is a huge obstacle to precise measurement, and the cold atom technology is to approach the extreme freezing temperature of the atom to absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius) to form stable cold atoms and make ultra-high precision atomic positioning instruments.

However, once there is a problem with this high-precision instrument, even if it is equipped with a nano-level intelligent maintenance robot, it is a project that needs to be 'slow and meticulous' to repair it.

There was less than a year left in the task time limit, Zhou Xing's face sank, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's too late, I'm ready to carry out the 'lookout' project."

The 'Lookout' project is to use the Gate of Miracles to send several space tunnels to other star fields, and through the pre-implanted intelligent program, control them in the way of 'broilers', and network them to detect the star fields where interstellar wars broke out.

"Okay, boss. Zhou Xiaozhi responded to the order, and immediately, the tunnel machine that remotely controlled the 'clairvoyant' entered the state of energy storage.

Immediately, the staff in front of the operation desk of the space monitoring room entered a tense working state one after another.

"The 'Clairvoyant' has been recharged. ”

"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3,... , the star coordinates of the 9 tunneling machines have been positioned, and the tunnel communication network link is normal. ”

"The tunnel signal is receiving normally. ”

"The terminal tunnel machine has completed the positioning of the monitoring star field. ”

“……。 ”

In the space monitoring room, the busy staff reported the status of the instruments one by one, and they all looked extremely nervous, this was the first time they were prepared to monitor an alien civilization.

There was a tense atmosphere at the scene.

What happened to the results of this monitoring? Is that fierce interstellar war over? Will alien civilizations retaliate if they discover human 'voyeurism'?......。

All kinds of questions popped up in everyone's minds, and their faces turned pale with nervousness.

"Boss, the clairvoyant, the terminal tunnel machine has been stored and can start to 'look'. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked for advice.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing took a deep breath, stared at the big screen and said, "Start 'looking'." ”

"Understood, boss. Zhou Xiaozhi answered, and in an instant, a group of light signals were launched into the sky from the transmission tower at the end of the civilization.

The clairvoyant flying around the earth in the earth's near-earth orbit suddenly shook, and a laser beam of huge energy suddenly shot out, the laser beam condensed in space at more than ten meters, and the powerful laser beam condensed for a few seconds, and a black hole with a diameter of nearly one meter suddenly appeared at the end of the energy beam.

Soon, the mysterious veil of the distant star field was revealed on the holographic screen.

"Shhh

The holographic screen presents a messy interstellar battlefield, shattered planets, kilometers of battleship wreckage, huge battleship fragments, dense and endless,...... , they are gravitationally attracted by the star, forming a metal band that flows slowly.

"Oh my God!

"It's so tragic, why is it fighting like this, is it worth it?"

"Where's that spherical fortress! ”

"Look at a battleship, it seems to move. ”

"Where? Are you mistaken?"

"It's dead, and no one can move. ”

“……。 ”

The huge space monitoring room, the exclamations continued, everyone was stunned by the picture in front of them, their faces were pale, they were frightened by the tragic interstellar battlefield, the huge wreckage of the alien battleship, the alien technological power, and its terrifying combat effectiveness.

Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, his eyes blank, and his attention had been placed elsewhere.

"System, can you settle the task in advance?" Zhou Xing asked the auxiliary system in his mind.

"Host, the task time limit has not yet arrived, you have not completed the task, and the task will be judged to be a failure if you settle the task in advance, do you want to continue to submit?" the system reminded Zhou Xing coldly and ruthlessly.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's face changed drastically, and he asked loudly: "The universe is impermanent, how can it be so easy to find problems, there is a problem with your 'task' setting, and it is impossible to complete it." ”

"Host, you still have one year left to complete the task, please keep up the good work. The system encouraged Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing was overjoyed, and the system's words indirectly affirmed the direction in which he completed the task.

Zhou Xing was overjoyed, and after he sobered up, he immediately ordered everyone: "Quick, continue to 'look' and observe the situation of the nearby stars." ”

"Boss, if you do this, once you detect the opponent's home planet, there will be more than 65% probability that it will be discovered. Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao.

"I know, however, the task can be done. Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly, and explained solemnly: "Xiaozhi, you grasp it, once that situation occurs, immediately disconnect the tunnel link." ”

"Okay, boss. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, as long as it does not violate its core principles, what Zhou Xing does, Zhou Xiaozhi has always obeyed.

The technicians in the space observation room couldn't understand what happened to Zhou Xing's mouth to be able to complete the task, they had been attracted by the interstellar battlefield on the holographic screen at the moment, not to mention, Zhou Xing was their boss, and they would do whatever they wanted.

The combat effectiveness of the two alien civilizations is extremely terrifying, the interstellar battlefield has affected the entire star system, and the planets orbiting the stars are more or less ruined, and there can be no life.

Soon, the tunnel machine controlled by Zhou Xiaozhi locked onto the galaxies near the star system and prepared to make observations.

"Boss, the closest galaxy to the interstellar battlefield: 6.5 light years, the terminal tunneler 9 has successfully locked onto the galaxy target. Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xing.

Soon, an unfamiliar galaxy appeared on the holographic screen, with two extremely bright stars.

"How is it a double galaxy?" Zhou Xing asked strangely as he looked at the holographic screen.

"Yes, boss, it's a physical binary. Zhou Xiaozhi confirmed.

A binary star system is a system of celestial bodies that are made up of two stars that appear to be very close together relative to the other stars.

There are many kinds of binary stars, one star orbits another star and has a gravitational pull on each other called a physical binary star, and there are two stars that seem to be close together but are actually very far apart, which is called an optical binary, and there are also binary stars that are not only very close to each other, but also have material flowing from one substar to another, they are called close binary stars.

Maybe the clue of the system task is in this galaxy, Zhou Xing's spirit was shocked, and he couldn't wait for Zhou Xiaozhi to order: "Start the 'lookout'." ”

"Understood. Zhou Xiaozhi responded to the order, and immediately transmitted the command to the terminal tunnel monitoring machine through the link network composed of the tunnel machine group.

In the space observation room, everyone held their breath and looked nervously at the holographic screen, and the truth was about to be revealed, what kind of alien civilization it was, and what caused this tragic interstellar war.

After more than ten minutes, a group of clear photos of the binary star system suddenly appeared on the holographic screen, and the high-sensitivity tunnel astronomical telescope took pictures of all the planets in the entire binary galaxy one by one, and then quickly transmitted the data back to the earth through the 'tunnel network'.

"Boss, found the Dalk Zerg. Zhou Xiaozhi said suddenly.

Immediately after, a dark green planet is revealed in a holographic screen.

"What?" Zhou Xing's eyes bulged and he stared at the holographic screen.

I saw that there were huge mushroom clouds floating on the surface of the dark green planet, densely packed, and Zhou Xing immediately recognized their identities, which were giant insect motherships.

"How could this be, how could they be there, this is the great discovery?" Zhou Xing was stunned and asked in distraction.

"Boss, I found a group of wormholes' of 'Detecting Worm Shadows', and suggested that all tunneling machines should be abandoned and no longer be linked. Zhou Xiaozhi continued to remind Zhou Xingdao.

Immediately, a green shadow appeared in the hologram, and the image was blurred, apparently captured under high-speed movement.

"Boss, this green shadow is a close-up picture taken by the No. 9 tunnel machine opening the wormhole, and it flies towards the wormhole at a speed close to sub-light speed, so it can't take a clear picture. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing's question.

Is it another kind of bug? Approaching the sub-light speed, Zhou Xing was cold, this Dark Zerg is simply ghostly!

"Have we been discovered by them?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi nervously.

"The situation is unknown, but tunnel machine 9 must have been discovered. Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and replied.

"Boss, the Dark Zerg have a portal gate, once they discover the coordinates of the earth, the situation of human civilization is very dangerous, Ash suggests, build a large starfleet, carry out interstellar voyages, and avoid crises. Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.

"We didn't use 'broilers' anymore, they didn't find us so quickly!" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, unable to give up.

The earth is the home planet of human existence, because of the threat of avoiding the threat of the Dalk Zerg and going on an interstellar voyage, this idea Zhou Xing never thought of.

"Boss, the Dark Zerg have a very long-range detection species, and the role of the tunnel network does not guarantee that we will not be detected. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reminded.

"Got it, let me think again. Zhou Xing nodded as big as a cow, and then asked Zhou Xiaozhi puzzled: "Since there is a Dark Zerg in that galaxy, then what is going on in that interstellar battle? Why is it not a war with the Dark Zerg!"

"Boss, there isn't enough data to draw conclusions, however, it's also possible that the spherical fortress is controlled by the Dalk Zerg. Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xingdao.

"No way! It's too ....... Zhou Xing couldn't accept Zhou Xiaozhi's speculation.

Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and solemnly reminded: "Boss, your task should be completed, the Dark Zerg may contain a lot of secret information, it may know,"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's spirit was shocked, by the way, what is going on with the Great Scientist Auxiliary System? Why does it know that the Dark Zerg is there, and the goal of the mission is also to observe the Dark Zerg, why is this?

Zhou Xing's eyes closed, and he couldn't wait to call the system: "System, can I settle the task in advance now?"

"Host, early settlement is allowed,......。 ”

"SS Main Quest: Universe Discovery, Task Completion Conditions: Explore One, or More Great Discoveries That Change Human Cognition of the Universe, Mission Duration: 10 Years, Mission Reward: A Colorful Treasure Chest, A Mystery Gift Box, Task Failure Punishment: 50% Deduction for Affecting the Target. ”

(Quest Hint: Host, under your leadership, human civilization has entered the intermediate level of planetary civilization, however, human civilization's understanding of the universe is still stuck in the last century, and now as a great scientist, you must change this situation, hurry up and tell them the truth!)

"Host, congratulations on discovering the existence of the dangerous race of the Dark Zerg, completing the main quest: Universe Discovery, and obtaining the task reward: a colorful treasure chest and a mysterious gift box. ”

Listening to a series of reminders from the system, Zhou Xing's eyes flashed: "Sure enough, what is your origin...... ”
