"Attention all! Start slowing down! ”

A large amount of gamma rays were dispersed, and each leaping creature was wrapped in light, like one of the stars in the sky, dazzling, and the distorted space-time surrounding the leaping creature gradually returned to its normal state.

Receiving an exploration mission, the cluster departed from the star system where the new empire is located, and reached their destination at a scale distance of thirty light-years.

In the periphery of the destination star system, the leaping organisms in the cluster immediately released high-power radio waves, which dispersed at the speed of light, scanned the entire star system environment and then transmitted back to the leaping organisms cluster, so that the entire cluster could understand the general environment in the destination star system.

"Yellow dwarf star system, seven planets, three terrestrial planets, four gaseous planets!"

Physical models of the internal environment of the star system were quickly constructed by the collectors, a task that would have been familiar to those who were veteran expansionists.

"Start colonization!"

"But beware, colonization is supplementary, surveying is the mainstay! If you encounter something that is suspected of being a trace of Hui civilization, report it immediately and give priority to protection! ”

"Action!"

The leader of the cluster, who assigned tasks to each cluster individual, ordered, and the entire cluster also dispersed under a radio message, heading for the various celestial bodies.

There are three terrestrial planets in total, one of which is a lava planet due to its proximity to the star, and the collectors have made a large amount of carbon dioxide dry ice and threw it on it, causing the temperature of the entire planet to drop.

There is also one in the second orbit, which is relatively simple for the gatherers, because the gravitational force is too low to bind the atmosphere, so the atmosphere is thin, and the environment can be said to be the most stable of the three terrestrial planets, and the gatherers can easily complete the colonization and occupation and exploit the material resources on it.

The last one is the sulfuric acid planet, the reason why it is said is because it is full of sulfuric acid, the rain in the sky is sulfuric acid, the surface is full of sulfuric acid seas, sulfuric acid lakes, sulfuric acid rivers, and the temperature is generally constant at about one or two hundred degrees, which is a planet with a relatively harsh surface environment.

Fortunately, the collectors are experienced in obtaining large amounts of hydrogen and oxygen from gas giants, and then biochemically combining hydrogen and oxygen to make liquid water.

Biochemistry combined with hydrogen and oxygen can obtain energy, which drives the movement of the piston of the biological pump to compress helium into a liquid state to produce low-temperature substances, which turn water into ice, thus completing the manufacture of artificial comets.

Then a large number of artificial comets were dropped on the sulfuric acid planet, and the sulfuric acid was diluted, and the entire planet became an ocean planet dominated by liquid water, and the land was completely submerged in the ocean.

Colonization was in full swing, but the gatherers were still mainly surveying, and soon they made discoveries on the planet Sulphuric Acid.

"Traces of a suspected civilization were found, but the half-life was determined not 800 million years ago, but 5,000 years ago, an alien civilization very close to the current time of the race."

A piece of radio information was dispersed around the sulfuric acid planet, quickly spreading throughout the star system, and was picked up by all collectors.

However, the relics of 5,000 years ago are obviously not the experimental civilization that the gatherers are looking for, the Hui civilization has already perished 800 million years ago, and without the protection of the Hui civilization, there is no reason for the experimental civilization to continue to live after being targeted by unknown forces.

In other words, this newly discovered civilization has nothing to do with the Hui civilization.

"Did you find anything?" Kindred asked.

Even if it doesn't matter, the gatherers are happy to look for it.

"No, the ruins have been severely eroded by the surface environment of this planet, and all traces except for the buildings have been washed clean by time."

Although the gatherers said that 5,000 years was 'very close' to them, this is relative to the Hui civilization, 5,000 years is enough time to wash away a lot of things, and the buildings are still preserved by the collectors, and they are already very lucky.

Shortly thereafter, the gatherers of the outermost gas giants colonizing delivered information.

"NEW! A large number of unnatural debris has been found in the near-orbit of the gas giant in the seventh orbit, and judging from the traces, it is likely that there was a war here! ”

"How long ago was that?" The cluster leader asked.

"Five thousand years ago, there were a lot of words left in the large wreckage of these wreckage fragments, and we needed a heavenly structure to decipher them."

It is also 5,000 years ago, which corresponds to the ruins found on the planet sulfuric acid, even if it is not the same group of people, there must be a direct connection between them.

The leader of the cluster responded to his fellow family, "I understand, the priority of the gestation project has been changed, and the Tianji Giant Structure is the main object of gestation. ”

After a while, the Celestial Giant was born, and the collectors couldn't wait to import the information found from the wreckage into the Celestial Giant Structure, so that it could decipher it.

"Decipherment complete."

The decipherment work is easy, and with the calculation ability of the heavenly giant, there is no pressure to do such work. 520

【…… You have grown up, you have to take care of yourself like an adult, we are just going back to a very distant place, and we will come back after a while, you must obediently listen to your grandparents......]

【…… My dear, when you read this message, I have already set foot on the journey to Sudan, forgive me for not saying goodbye, but if I stand by and watch everything will be lost, including you, I have no choice, you are my only ...... If I can return from the battlefield, I will marry you and have a big wedding that will attract global attention, and make you the center of attention of the whole world......]

【…… This is our last battle! Once the Combined Fleet crosses this line of defense, it can directly threaten the whole of Gerenthal! With our home behind us, we have no way back! For family, friends, everything we love! Be sure to stop the enemy here in the Sultan! Restrain the combined fleet from the expedition like the death pit of the brute-beast......]

[It's all over...... We failed......]

It's a civilization that has been destroyed by an alien enemy - the gatherers have found something like a backup record based on the information they have deciphered, which contains the information of the fleet's crew members to their friends and family, and when the letters are delivered back to the planet, the fleet also has a backup.

"Don't have more information?"

"That's all the text information that can be found for the time being, and in the case of data information, the information is lost due to the quantum effect, and there is nothing to read in the wreckage of the computer." The collectors of the seventh orbit responded, "They are not a Hui civilization, and the level of technology is not high, even if it is an intact computer, it is unknown how much readable data there is." ”

"Judging by the information, this is a battle between two civilizations?"

Some gatherers began to guess based on the content of the information that war is nothing more than profit-driven behavior, so as long as you find the key points of the information and speculate along the context, it is not difficult to find the truth, which is different from the experiment of Hui Wenming.

"When the message says the Combined Fleet, does it mean a fleet united by multiple alien forces?"

Not knowing what the Combined Fleet meant, the gatherers prioritized the worst-case scenario.

"It's hard to say, so I'd better put it aside for the time being and wait until more information is available to discuss these issues."

The leader of the cluster, who did not intend to make up his mind so early, signaled to his fellow clans not to guess and waste their brain cells in vain, and instructed his fellow clans of the seventh orbit to continue searching for information in the wreckage.

After some time, the gatherers of the seventh orbit made a new discovery.

"There's something new! In a piece of data wreckage, decipher a star image segment! ”

This is quite lucky, because quantum effects can erode data information, and it's not too much of a miracle that the star image fragment has survived to this day.

Collectors who understood this immediately demanded that the data be backed up and saved, for fear that the star image would disappear under their noses.

"Quickly import the data into the star map."

"Turn the astral time back to 5,000 years ago and compare it."

The star map segment is just a fragment, it is not a three-dimensional model, it is more similar to a photo, it is just a part of the star map model, and it is marked with some coordinates.

However, collectors also have a solution, they have their own star map model, the time of the star map model is retraced to 5,000 years ago, and then the found star segment is used as a template to compare, and it is easy to find the coordinates of the star marked on the star segment.

As a result, the collectors determined the locations of the four coordinate points in the universe from the star image segments.

"After the comparison is completed, it is very close to several nearby stars, four coordinates, which are six light-years, four light-years, seven light-years, and ten light-years away from the current star."

Because they spent some of their time, resources, and energy on the survey of the traces of civilization, the colonization construction of the gatherers was not completed, and there were no star orbits or antimatter giants, let alone going to these four coordinate points, even if they were very close.

Gatherers will have to wait a little longer before they can get there.

But the cluster leader doesn't want to wait, and it builds a connection with the clan responsible for communication.

"I remember there was a synigent colonized star system nearby."

"It's about eleven light-years away from us." The communicator replied.

"Communicate with them across the stars and have them arrange for clusters to explore the star system of these four coordinates." The leader of the cluster said.

At present, the colonization construction on their side cannot be completed in 50 years, and the four coordinate points are handed over to the same family of other colonial stars to explore, including the time of information transmission, and it only takes more than 20 years to reach the four coordinate points in the cluster, which is more efficient.

Gatherers who understand the thoughts of the swarm leader move the spectral signals of the stars to deliver information to the colonizing stars in the distance.

Later, the cluster leader remembered the wreckage on the seventh orbit and replenished it to the people in charge of communications.

"Also, given the aggressive nature of the subjects they come into contact with, the possibility of an attack on the exploration swarm cannot be ruled out, and they are advised to be fully armed."

"Well, I'll tell them."
