"Can we talk to them, then?" Maine asked excitedly.

Since the aliens are talking, doesn't that mean that you can talk to them?

Looking at Main's expectant look, both Faos and Mako were a little embarrassed.

"This ...... Can't do it. Maiko said.

"Huh? They can all talk, so why can't we? ”

Myne looked at his father in confusion, he was ignorant and ignorant at this time, he did not know the gap between his civilization and those civilizations on the other side that released alien signals, he was still too young, and he had seen too little to understand.

Maiko explained, "We don't have that ability, those aliens have technology that we don't have. ”

"So, will these aliens come and beat us? Just like in the movies, fly a space battleship to hit us. ”

Myne thought of a question that he was more familiar with, and the movies he watched were all played out like this, either they attacked the aliens, or the aliens attacked them.

Both Faos and Maiko couldn't help but laugh at Main's question.

"Hahaha, don't take movies as reality, silly boy, what can we do that is worth them coming all the way to snatch? What we have, will they not have? ”

"The atoms on our side are no more noble than the atoms on their side."

Myne only thinks the two of them are laughing at him, unconvinced, and uses his barren cognition to think about the example of aliens who might attack them.

"Hmm...... Like money? There must be poor people among the aliens, who may come and rob us. ”

Faos shook his head, "The aliens who can run to us are richer than our entire planet combined, even if they are poor. ”

"Why are you richer than us? I don't know, if there is only one spaceship, it should be that we are richer. Myne asked, puzzled.

Myne's father explained.

"The closest signal source to us is a 1,200 light wheel, that is to say, even electromagnetic waves moving at the speed of light need to travel 1,200 wheels to reach us."

"Being able to run so far to us shows that the technology is very high, even if there is only one spaceship, it can easily destroy us, so there is no such thing as the kind of aliens in the movie who come to attack, and if there are really aliens coming, the government will only surrender as soon as possible......"

"But what does this have to do with wealth?" Myne asked, puzzled.

Maiko replied, "Of course it matters, wealth is the recognition of the value of objects, which can suppress us by force, and aliens can pick up a stone on the side of the road and say that they can buy everything in the world, and that stone has such value." ”

"I don't understand, why can the stones on the side of the road become so valuable?"

Roadside stones are everywhere, neither rare nor pretty, so why can aliens use them to buy all the goods in the world? And they can't? Myne couldn't figure it out, but he knew that his father wouldn't lie to him, so he was even more entangled.

"Because absolute force gives the roadside stone such a value, you will understand this when you study economics later."

Maiko explained this to his seemingly incomprehensible child, but he did not elaborate, because Maine was still very young and there was no need to indoctrinate him with advanced and complex knowledge so early.

Suddenly, the screen fluctuated suddenly, and Faos and Maiko watched in amazement as the screen appeared almost vertical with peaks and troughs.

Then it turned off, and the screen went black, as if someone had unplugged the TV.

"What's going on?!"

"What's going on?"

Maiko and Faos were shocked, and Maiko hurried to the outside of the listening station, while Faos went to take out the radio to check it, and the whole listening station became busy.

Soon after, Maiko returned from outside, and he brought back the results of the examination.

"The internal wiring was burned, and all the observation equipment was useless."

Although it is just an understatement, but the meaning behind this is very serious, the listening station has a special anti-pulse design, in order to prevent the equipment from being burned, it will automatically trip after a strong pulse.

In other words, this powerful pulse, even if the listening station trips, the small part of the high-energy pulse that passes through it is enough to burn all the equipment of the entire monitoring array.

It's hard to believe, but Faos knows that Maiko doesn't make funny jokes at times like these.

In addition, Faos himself found some clues, and he handed the paper on which the pulse signal was recorded to Maiko.

"This is the location of the pulse source, you look at ......"

Looking at the wave chart on the record paper, just a simple glance, Maiko immediately looked at Faos in disbelief, looking like he wanted to say something, his eyes were full of horror.

"This ......"

The information on the record paper shows that the pulse source is in their parent star system, and that it is not very far from the parent star!

In this way, the possibility of pulsars can be ruled out, and the gravitational disturbance alone is enough to destroy their current civilization at such a close distance, not to mention the high-energy pulses ejected from them.

Moreover, if it were a pulsar, the pulse beam would not have existed for such a short time, and Maiko outside the listening station should have seen a new star in the sky.

But the question arises again, if it is not a pulsar, then what is the release of a powerful pulse?

Maiko already had an idea in his heart, so he looked at Faos critically.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, I can only hope it's not what we think."

Faros looked at Maine with a complicated look in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, just now, they were still talking about aliens, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

At this time, the young Mayne didn't know what everything that was happening now represented, thinking that the equipment was broken, and the two adults thought that he had broken it, so they couldn't help but be timid and muttered to themselves.

"I, I didn't mess around with anything......"

……

A group of faster-than-light creatures ended their faster-than-light voyages, simply obtaining environmental information about the star system through high-powered radar scanning, and then dropping large chunks of meat towards various planets, and then entering faster-than-light again and disappearing without a trace.

Pieces of meat enter various planets, whether gaseous or solid, and complete the landing mission, and the gatherers who have established themselves on the planets will exploit the planet's material resources in large quantities for stellar colonization work.

The mined material is preferentially used to construct a high-pressure megastructure.

Liquid metal hydrogen can be produced by high-pressure megastructures, and the construction of gravitational rings is inseparable from liquid metallic hydrogen as the main material.

"Hurry up! We don't have that much time to waste! Get production done as soon as possible before the devastating blow comes! ”

"What should we do if we discover an alien civilization and the other party is actively building radio communication with us?"

"Send a few individuals to contact them, let them leave the seeds of their own civilization, and leave the rest alone! Stepping up production is the right thing! ”
