The information broadcasting device stranded in the universe by the collected people solves the problem of star maps of major faster-than-light clusters to a certain extent.

But the collectors also found through the star map that the stars of the entire river system are decreasing exponentially over time.

The reason for all this is that the number of clusters of gatherers has increased, and the clusters are like creatures that increase exponentially, one life is two, two is four, and four is eight......

Coupled with faster-than-light technology, space-time can no longer stand in the way of amoeba.

Over the course of a thousand years, the devastating impact of the Great Destruction has expanded from a relatively small area in the cantilever of the river system to the entire river system.

The river system is full of planetary plasma nebulae thrown by supernova explosions, and the colorful bands of light composed of nebulae stretch for dozens of light-years in the universe.

According to the current trend, it is a matter of time before the great destruction blows up all the stars in the river system, and the increase in the number of clusters will directly lead to an acceleration of the rate of star destruction.

The collectors were not worried that there would be no stars to use in the future, and the nebulae that were thrown out would gradually and slowly converge again due to gravitational pull, forming embryonic stars that spiraled in the early stage of the stars to absorb nebulae material.

However, due to the speed of light, the nebula does not move fast, so the process of star formation takes a considerable time, and it will take about 10,000 years to complete the reorganization of the star if it is optimistic.

Therefore, the entire amoeba is very stable in the face of the great destruction that is executing high-energy strikes every moment, and is not in a hurry at all.

Swarms search the river system for areas of high energy and high material density.

It is impossible to create a high-energy strike of great destruction out of nothing, even if it is a high-energy strike achieved with the help of the spiritual domain, it must be obtained from the actual universe to obtain enough quality that is offset by consumption, the attack of the whole river system, hundreds of billions of stars as the target, arbitrarily open up a wormhole that bursts out of high-energy rays, and the energy consumed is at least stellar anyway.

Energy neither appears or disappears out of thin air, and the mass and energy of the universe are always conserved.

Following the basic law of the universe, that is, in the actual universe, there is an energy source, which may be one or more stars, supergiants, or single or complex neutron stars, black holes, white dwarfs and other extreme celestial bodies.

With this speculation, the gatherers have a general strategic direction - to find the source of the power of the Great Destruction and cut off the energy supply of the other party.

The gatherers have no problem with great destruction, because there is not even an attack target, but as long as the opponent's energy supply is cut off, no matter how powerful the opponent's tricks are, it is useless, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

……

Another faster-than-light cluster arrived at their destination, a dizzying glow at a point within the binary star system of two stars, one large and one small.

The light stretches over a scale of more than ten astronomical units, forming a band of light that is too bright for people to look at.

After the light dissipated, there was a large cluster of gatherers, in addition to the tachyon creatures for combat, as well as various production and storage biostructures.

As usual, after releasing a high-power radar wave to scan the environment of the star system, the cluster leader assigns specific tasks and other individuals perform the tasks.

But this time, it is a little different from usual, because there is an alien civilization in this star system.

Radar waves have detected a large number of unknown entities within the star system, and these entities are constantly emitting some kind of regular radio signal. Bookbag netting

Obviously, these are man-made objects, and if they were small entities floating in space such as meteorites, it would be impossible to release regular radio signals at all times, and these entities would actively approach the swarm.

Combat faster-than-light creatures form multiple battle sequences, lock on to targets through radar, and reach a distance of half an astronomical unit near these entities at faster-than-light speed.

Through optical observation, the bodies of these entities can be clearly seen, they are long warships, large and small in size, the largest of which has reached a length of fifty kilometers.

However, the size doesn't say anything, and the size of the star is also very large, but it can't withstand a black hole bomb from the collector at all, so the collectors don't dare to despise each other, and each battle sequence is just besieged but not attacked.

The other party seems to have made a move because of the proximity of the faster-than-light creatures.

The brightness of the propulsion tail flames of all warships has decreased considerably, and several warships periodically glow with different colored signal lights in the direction of the tachyon creatures.

This is an expression of the desire to communicate, and the gatherers can see that they have used this trick when they have been in contact with other alien civilizations before, regardless of the meaning of the flashing signal lights, this act itself means that one party wants to transmit information to the other, as long as they are not blind, they can see that this is an expression of communication.

Experienced gatherers have also evolved a semaphore-like organ in their own organism, flashing regularly towards the fleet surrounded by faster-than-light creatures, showing their willingness to communicate with each other.

At the same time, the collectors prepared a set of language templates, which were converted into digital signals and delivered to the alien fleet.

According to the observation of the gatherers, the industrial strength of this alien civilization should not be bad, and at least a formed space fleet has been formed.

In addition to the fleet currently approaching the cluster, there are three other space fleets of similar size, each anchored in the near-orbit of several planets.

Based on the speculation of industrial power, the probability that the civilization will have a large supercomputer will be high.

As the collectors expected, this alien civilization has a high-performance supercomputer, and after about half a day, the other party completed the decipherment of the collector's language according to the language template provided by the collector.

"Hello, we are amoeba."

"Hello, on behalf of all the Dali people, we, the Kote Merchant Group, would like to pay high tribute to you who have come from afar."

The communication between the two sides was constructed, and the collectors learned about the status of this alien civilization in the current star system through the information expressed by the other party.

Although it has entered the stage of space civilization and its industrial strength is not lower than that of the former empire, due to geopolitics, this civilization has been divided into four major political bodies, each of which controls a planet.

At present, the contact with the gatherers is a fleet under the command of the capitalist Kote merchant group, with merchants as the main political body.

The other three fleets did not act, not because they were fighting among themselves, but in fact they began to try to unite with each other when they learned of the arrival of the gatherers, and the conflicts of interest in the past were put aside for the time being.

The reason why only the fleet of the Kote Merchant Regiment came over was because they happened to be very close, and from a strategic point of view, it was easy to get the whole fleet together directly.

Compared with the calm of the gatherers after learning about the civilization of the Dalís, the civilization of the Dalís can be said to be turbulent, they have developed smoothly, although there are internal contradictions, but the civilization as a whole is on the rise.

As a result, a faster-than-light alien civilization suddenly popped up now, and then brought them news of the Great Destruction.
