"Help?"

When this answer came out of Su Li's mouth, the four people present immediately looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

"Are you sure this is a distress message?" Kevin. Adams asked again.

"Of course, I confirm that the other party's signal is sent in the universal language of the galaxy, and this message in my database represents an emergency call for help, just like the SOS signal used by our Earth in the past."

Su Yichen silently exchanged glances with Luo Yan and them, and he was not like Kevin in Su Li's judgment. Adams was skeptical, as Su Li's creator, both Su Yichen and Luo Yan were sure of Su Li's judgment, since she had confirmed that this was a general distress message, it meant that there were intelligent beings sending distress signals to the universe 51 astronomical units away from them.

According to the general principles of the galaxy, if a cosmic civilization encounters danger while navigating in the universe and sends a distress signal, other cosmic civilizations that receive the signal or pass by should lend a helping hand. This criterion is like a shipwrecked ship on Earth, as an Earth civilization that is already a member of the cosmic civilization, the Pioneer spacecraft is not far from the location where the distress signal is issued, and it is natural to go to the rescue.

But the problem is that the earth civilization has never dealt with other cosmic civilizations (except for the war with the Gaia civilization), as an earth civilization that has just entered the ranks of cosmic civilizations, it actually encountered this situation during the first voyage across the galaxy, did it turn a blind eye or go to the coordinate location to rescue?

This choice was difficult to decide for a while, Luo Yan thought about it and spoke first, she thought that since this was the universal rule of the galaxy, the earth civilization, as a member of the universe civilization, should lend a helping hand to rescue other cosmic civilizations when they encountered danger. What's more, the Pioneer spacecraft, including everyone on board, is on the shoulders of exploring the universe. Although the distress signal was a bit unexpected, it was also an opportunity to open the first normal contact and exchange between the Earth civilization and other cosmic civilizations.

This point of view was immediately supported by Gao Jian, who believed that rescuing the other party would not have any loss for them, on the contrary, it would be able to win the gratitude and goodwill of the unknown civilization that sent the signal in this way, which was important for the earth civilization to step out of the universe. It is also extremely beneficial to be a member of a true cosmic civilization.

"I don't deny it, but I want to remind everyone not to forget that we ran into the wreckage of that spaceship in the Golden Galaxy, what if the other side is a space pirate? You must know that when you were on Earth, there were many pirates who liked to use this trick to attract rescue ships. And we don't know what kind of civilization the other side is, so I think it's better to be cautious. Kevin. Adams considers the other side,

The Nimunle civilization, such a powerful sixth-level cosmic civilization's commercial armed spaceship, will inevitably become like that, not to mention their Vanguard spaceship. In case the other party has another intention, this signal is fake, so doesn't it mean that the sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth?

"It's a possibility. However, the possibility of existence is very small. Su Yichen shook his head and vetoed Kevin. Adams's assumption, after all, that this area is not a busy star field, and that it is impossible for a space pirate to somehow run to such a remote place to do such a thing. The appearance of the Pioneer spacecraft here is nothing more than a coincidence, and the possibility of the other party encountering danger is extremely high.

What's more, they can communicate with each other first to ask what happened to the other party before making a decision. According to Su Yichen, you will choke on eating. You can't skip eating because you're choking, as a representative of the earth's civilization. The Pioneer spacecraft is on a mission to engage with other cosmic civilizations, and now is a great opportunity, even if it is dangerous, then it is worth it.

"Well, you convinced me." Kevin. Adams thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Su Yichen's opinion.

Since the four of them are on the same page. Then Su Yichen asked Su Li to communicate with the location of the coordinates, ask the other party what cosmic civilization he belonged to, and ask what happened.

Su Li's movements were not slow, and she quickly sent the message out, only a minute later. The person who sent the distress signal replied.

"Great! That's great! I can't imagine that there are flying ships passing by here, thank you for your help, what kind of civilization are you? I'm Donle of the Blue Star Civilization, and my ship's curvature engine has failed....... ”

Su Yichen didn't expect that the other party was actually a member of the Blue Star Civilization where they were going, which was an unexpected surprise. I don't know who this Blue Star man named Tang Le is for the time being, but from the tone of the other party's communication and the joy that can't be concealed in those words, it can basically be judged that what the other party said is true.

It seems that the other party's spaceship is still in good condition, but for some reason, the curvature engine of this spaceship has failed, and even this failure is not a small problem. Judging from this situation, the other party is safe for the time being, but there is no doubt that the applause of the curvature engine also causes great trouble to the other party.

Now that they are still a long distance away from the Blue Star Civilization, it will be at least nearly three years to fly at full speed and curvature, and if they stop halfway, then this time will even be extended to double or several times. At such a long distance, the curvature engine of the spacecraft is damaged, which means that it is impossible for the spacecraft to return to the Blue Star in this time, and according to the acceleration calculation of ordinary power systems, this journey may take nearly a hundred or even hundreds of years.

"Hello, we are the spaceship of the Earth civilization, and this is the Vanguard." Su Yichen, who had figured out what was going on, breathed a sigh of relief and replied through communication.

"Earth civilization?" The other party seemed to be a little puzzled, and after a few seconds he asked, "I'm really sorry, I've never heard of such a cosmic civilization, where did you come from?" ”

Hearing this, the four people present all laughed at the same time, it seems that the other party also has the same concerns just now, and this Conler of the Blue Star Civilization has a similar vigilance when he hears about the strange cosmic civilization of the Earth Civilization.

Su Yichen understood this situation very well, and immediately told the other party the location of the galaxy where the earth was located, and at the same time showed that the earth civilization was in contact with the Blue Star civilization for the first time, and the destination of their spaceship was the home planet of the Blue Star civilization, and its mission was to bring the friendship and goodwill of the human beings on the earth, and at the same time hoped to have good contact and exchanges with the Blue Star civilization.

On leaving Earth. Su Yichen had long been ready to prove his civilization, so when Tang Le was puzzled, he quickly gave an answer, and at the same time came up with some evidence representing the civilization of the earth.

These things and explanations quickly took effect, and in the newsletter Donle happily stated that as a member of the cosmic civilization, the Blue Star civilization was very welcoming to the Earth civilization, and that it was also when his ship was in trouble, which may have been arranged by fate. Thanks to the earthlings for their help.

51 astronomical units, this distance is not a short distance under ordinary circumstances, but whether it is the Pioneer spacecraft or the Downer's spacecraft, the two sides quickly approached after more than ten hours using ordinary power systems. In the meantime, the two sides have had some exchanges through communication, whether it is Su Yichen's side as the Earth Civilization or Tangle's side as the Blue Star Civilization, they are very curious and excited about the situation of the other party's civilization, and the exchange atmosphere between the two sides is very good. It was learned that Tang Le was a scientist of the Blue Star civilization, and this time he was driving his own spaceship to conduct scientific research expeditions in the universe, who would have thought that it had been misoperated, and the spacecraft crashed headlong into the meteorite belt when it flew out of curvature, although the spacecraft remained intact, but unfortunately the curvature engine had problems in this impact, thus losing the ability to continue to fly with curvature.

According to Downer, he had been wandering the airspace for days. These days he has been trying to repair the curvature engine, but he has never been able to repair it because of the severe damage to the engine. And this airspace is so remote. It is almost impossible that a spaceship will pass by here. Tang Le, who had no choice, could only send a distress signal to the home planet to ask for help.

But even so, it would take at least a few years to send a signal from here to the home planet, and then wait for the home planet to send a spaceship to rescue him. Tang Le was almost sad about this result, but he never thought that an Earth Civilization spaceship bound for the Blue Star Civilization would pass by here so coincidentally and receive his distress signal.

When they heard Tang Le's story, Su Yichen and the others suddenly realized. At the same time, he also lamented Tangle's good luck.

A day later, Tang Le's spaceship was already very close to the Vanguard, and when they saw the spaceship, Su Yichen and the others understood why Tang Le's spaceship curvature engine was damaged. The other party's spaceship was a little unexpected, not because Tangle's spaceship was huge, but because his spaceship was small. Compared to the huge Vanguard, Downer's "little spaceship" is only one-twentieth the size of the Vanguard, and the two are placed together like a giant and a child.

But the spaceship is small, but its technology is not weak at all, compared to the earth civilization that has just entered the ranks of the cosmic civilization, Tang Le's spaceship technology is very sophisticated, such a small spaceship can actually have a powerful curvature engine, and even can carry out cross-galaxy exploration flights, which is absolutely impossible in the current view of the earth civilization.

From this point alone, you can see the height of the Blue Star Civilization, the information provided by the captives of the Gaia Civilization, Su Yichen and the others judged the scientific and technological level of the Blue Star Civilization before they set off, and then later figured out the level division of the cosmic civilization of the Milky Way, Su Yichen always thought that the Blue Star Civilization and the Gaia Civilization should belong to the same civilization, that is, the level of cosmic civilization from the first to the second level. But after seeing Tang Le's spaceship, Su Yichen knew that their previous guess was wrong, if he guessed correctly, the Blue Star Civilization should be a cosmic civilization that has entered the ranks of third-level civilizations, that is, it is equal to the highest level of primary cosmic civilization.

According to the discussion in the communication, the Pioneer spacecraft docked with the other party's small spacecraft, the docking process was very smooth, a few hours later, the two spaceships that gradually approached and maintained synchronous speed completed the docking state, the small spacecraft lay firmly above the huge Vanguard, and the two were united by a communication pipeline, when the docking was completed, Tang Le couldn't wait to invite the earthlings to his small spaceship as guests, for this suggestion Su Yichen gladly accepted, but in consideration of safety, He and Luo Yan took Su Li to go, and Kevin. Adams and Gao Jian remained on the Vanguard for the time being.

Put on the spacesuit and open the airtight hatch, Su Yichen and they came to the hatch at the other end through the connecting passage, and when the same airtight hatch opened, a man who was a head taller than Su Yichen and looked young and handsome, but his skin was a little too white, stood outside the hatch with a smile.

"Donle!"

"Su Yichen!"

"Luo Yan!"

"Su Li......."

The two sides first introduced their names, and the language used was, of course, the lingua franca, and then Tang Le smiled happily and walked forward quickly, just about to raise his hands and hesitate, cautiously asking the earth humans what kind of etiquette they used to greet their friends for the first time.

"We're shaking hands, and if it's a very close relationship, then we're hugging." Su Yichen replied with a smile, and at the same time demonstrated to Luo Yan beside him.

Tang Le suddenly said happily: "This habit is very similar to our habit, and we also have similar etiquette, but the details are slightly different. ”

Then, Tang Le first shook hands with Su Yichen and them in the way of the earth, and then demonstrated the etiquette of the Blue Star civilization, which was indeed similar to the etiquette of the earthlings, as if it was impossible to distinguish it without looking carefully.

"It seems that our Blue Star Civilization and your Earth Civilization are natural friends, voila! We're pretty much the same. Tang Le didn't seem to be very old, and he spoke with a sense of vitality, smiling and gesturing.

"As far as I know, there are many intelligent human beings in the galaxy who are similar to the intelligent human beings of the cosmic civilizations, right?" Su Yichen asked with a casual smile, whether it is the Ike of the Rand civilization, or the Gaia people who invaded the earth, including the Nimunle civilization that he met in the Golden Galaxy before, and even the soldiers of the unknown civilization who killed the Nimunle civilization, although everyone is different in subtleties, the general body size and characteristics are still very similar, including the Tang Le in front of him.

"There are a lot, but there are also many cosmic civilizations that look strange, can you imagine, I once saw an intelligent life of a cosmic civilization, their body is actually like a big ball, and they also like to eat an extremely special food ......." Tang Le exaggerated the appearance of the intelligent life, and when he talked about that kind of food, Tang Le even made a disgusting look, which immediately caused Su Yichen and his wife to laugh. (To be continued......)
