The stellar system, which is about 172 light-years away from the mother star of the Zeshu civilization, is in full swing of colonization construction, and a large number of material resources are shuttling through the stellar system like bullets, hitting their 'targets' with incomparable accuracy.

"Act quickly, don't exceed the planned time, otherwise the construction work here will be delayed."

"No, I've already calculated it."

One side was urging, and the other side was unhurried, and it turned out that the gatherer on the unhurried side had calculated correctly, and it was indeed stepping on the point to reach its destination.

However, this does not satisfy the collectors at the destination, because it almost exceeds the planned time, and once the planned time is exceeded, the construction progress will be delayed, and this delay is still a series of delays, after all, the entire part of the stellar colony construction is interlocking, involving the whole body, and it is easy to have a chain reaction.

"Why did you arrive so late?"

The kindred's inquiry was received by the gatherer, who replied to what had happened to him not long ago.

"During the voyage, I received an unknown regular signal, and I was delayed in order to confirm the source of the information."

"Regular signals? Where did it come from? ”

This answer immediately stunned and surprised the other gatherers, since the regular signal appeared, it also meant that the race had discovered a new alien civilization.

"The signal is low-frequency, and it looks like it's outside the star system, so I'm not sure."

The reaction of the same clan is most understandable to the collector who found the individual, and it is also with this idea that it will temporarily put the task of cluster construction aside, and contact the collector in charge of observation to search for alien civilizations together.

However, as a result, nothing was found, but fortunately, the construction progress within the star system was not delayed due to temporary placement, which was a lot of relief for the collectors.

"Interstellar communication? What is the content of the message? ”

"It's a very simple regular signal, and there is no readable information in it, and because of this, I'm hesitating whether I should explain it to you, maybe it's just a clutter in the universe that accidentally forms a regular signal."

Hearing that this is the answer, the collectors are extremely disappointed, the signal comes and goes quickly, and the movement is still so small, the collectors want to follow the vine, but they don't have time to search, this is a very helpless thing.

Time passes quickly, many collectors have buried this matter in the depths of their memories and put their energy into construction, the construction of the star system has been completed a lot, except for a part, such as the star track This giant structure has not yet been erected, because it requires huge resources as a foundation, so if it is not necessary, the collector will generally transfer the construction task of the star track backwards.

Just when the collectors thought that the regular signal would not appear again, a regular signal reappeared, and this time it was much more complicated than the last one, and it was clear that this string of signals had readable content in it.

"Unknown pattern signal detected! Low Band! Make sure the information comes from outside the star system! A transstellar signal suspected of an alien civilization! ”

It's like a bomb being dropped in a pool of calm, and the channels the gatherers have built boiled over like they have discovered other alien civilizations.

Work on extraterrestrial civilizations is in full swing.

"Immediately import the content of the signal into the Heavenly Machine Giant Construct to decipher! The cluster needs to know the content of the signal in the shortest possible time! ”

The contents of the signal are not difficult to decipher, and the textual information displayed is confirmed to be hieroglyphic after many inferences, which is very similar to the oracle bone inscription on Earth, and even much simpler than the oracle bone inscription.

After waiting for the Heavenly Machine Giant to decipher all the content information, the collectors couldn't wait to browse it.

[Civilizations who have received the above information, please note that the message you have received is from the country representing equality and justice in Sori!] You may have received a message from the same direction from an imperial authoritarian superpower in Sori that is competing with another superpower in Sori for world supremacy in an attempt to set the entire course of civilization backwards! I hope you don't listen to their lies and stand on the side of justice and equality! 】

According to the content of the signal, it is suspected that it was sent from an alien civilization that has not yet been unified, and that civilization has been able to communicate across stars.

Collectors must be cautious about this.

"Can you locate it?" The gatherer asks about the kindred.

"We've locked in the direction of the source, but there are tens of thousands of stars in that direction, and we can't be sure which one it is."

This time it was the same as the last time, the collectors didn't have time to find the location information of the information source, although they had already reflected extremely quickly, but unfortunately, the speed of light is the highest speed in the universe, and this is not a gap that can be made up by whether the reaction is fast or not.

"As long as the source is able to deliver a regular signal once, then we can pinpoint the location."

"It's a pity that the amount of information in this string of regular signals is too small, and we can't rely on this string of information to understand the specific technical level of that civilization, nor can we know their location."

"What do we do next?"

After pondering for a while, the leader of the cluster made a decision.

"We'll reply!"

At a distance of twenty-nine astronomical units from the star system, a phalanx wall is lined up, which is arranged in a wide range of ways but dense on a large scale, and these organisms make the visible light of the stars flicker and dim on a large scale by flipping their shutter-like light barriers.

If the square does not count the gaps between the individuals, the area will appear very large, almost the sum of the apparent areas of the four Jupiters, which also makes the effect of the stellar twinkle obvious.

[Strange civilization, it is a pleasure to meet you, we are amoeba, through the following information you will have a basic understanding of us - the supreme will created the first individual, the individual multiplication formed a cluster, after a long period of labor and creation, countless individuals go forward and follow the efforts, the race is striding towards glory and prosperity, we are one, united, unified, efficient, soon throughout the entire home planet, the supreme will notice those wandering in the universe of other planets, the race has entered a new eraBy exploring those worlds and gathering resources, all of us are convinced that the race will soon move towards greater glory and prosperity. 】

This is done in Morse code to resemble transstellar communication, and all that remains for the collector is to wait and continue to expand.

"Will that alien civilization really reply?"

Some individuals have doubts, fearing that the alien civilization will not reply to them, so that the bamboo basket will be empty.

"They will." The leader of the cluster replied firmly.

"Why are you so sure?"

"There is a first time, there is a second, especially after learning that we exist."
