With such a long reaction time, by the time the Federation sends a fleet to crusade against the Old Gods, the Old Gods will either grow to the point where the Federation fleet is difficult to compete with like the Old Gods of an amusement park, or they will already run away without even leaving a shadow.

It won't take too long, only three or five ancient gods need to be revived, and there will be no safe place in the territory of the Federation. Moreover, the Federation cannot grasp the latest movements of the ancient gods, and it is likely that in the end, like the Peacock Empire, most of the internal communication lines are paralyzed, and the orders of the central government cannot be issued to the local government, and they exist in name only.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, the federation must have stable and reliable instant messaging.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Can you teach us the communication method you use?" ”

Intelligent Life has proven that her means of communication are resistant to interference.

The gentle female voice replied, "Yes, this is a high-level application of space power, and it is also within the scope of our original transaction. ”

She had agreed with Tang Xuan that she would sort out the technical data of the Hill civilization for him before she got out of trouble, and give him her space technology data after she got out of trouble.

Tang Xuan said seriously: "Thank you!" ”

Instant messaging technology is too important for the Federation.

The gentle female voice whispered, "Wait a minute, I've connected to your fleet's computer." ”

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment,

Tick tick!

A red light suddenly flashed in the command room.

"Intrusion Alert!"

"Intrusion Alert!"

"Invasion—"

The alarm stopped abruptly and the lights returned to normal. Obviously, the intelligent life has hacked into the system and turned off the alarm.

For truly intelligent life, the vast majority of computers with scientific and technological civilization are like their own back gardens, and they can enter whenever they want. Even the Hill civilization back then couldn't resist intelligent life, but set up a set to invite you into the urn.

Yin Huazang twisted his head from side to side, realizing that he couldn't see intelligent life, and slightly embarrassed picked up the water cup and took a sip. I thought that after I went back, I must urge the Academy of Sciences to build a more tightly guarded computer system.

After a few minutes, a gentle female voice said, "It's done." ”

The flagship's computer is loaded with a huge amount of data.

Tang Xuan nodded: "The transaction is clear, and no one owes anyone." ”

The gentle female voice was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I think you should pay more attention to another matter than communication. ”

Tang Xuan was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

The gentle female voice said solemnly: "Not only do the interfering particles have no tendency to slow down, but neither does the sea. ”

Tang Xuan's expression froze.

The sea also has no tendency to expand and slow down......

What does this mean?

That sea can expand indefinitely and eventually engulf the Federation?

Tang Xuan subconsciously felt that this was impossible, so even if he knew that the sea was still expanding, he did not panic at all, but when he was pointed out by the intelligent life, he was suddenly a little uneasy.

If it weren't serious, intelligent life wouldn't have specifically mentioned it.

Tang Xuan was silent for two seconds and asked, "Have you learned to joke?" ”

The gentle female voice said firmly, "No, I'm not kidding. The rate of expansion of that sea is constantly rising, and it will not take a few days to reach the level of astronomical scale. If my calculations are correct, in five to seven months' time the sea will reach and engulf your nearest manned star system. ”

Can the calculations of intelligent life go wrong?

Tang Xuan was silent.

Unexpectedly, the problem of instant messaging has not been solved, and intelligent life has thrown him such a big trouble.

With a habitable star system to be swallowed up in three months, how will the Federation survive this crisis?

He asked for help: "What should we do?" ”

Intelligent life has technology beyond the reach of the Federation, and her judgment is the best decision.

"I suggest that you immediately start thinking about plans for the transfer of residents, prepare all the conditions for evacuating people within three months, and leave immediately if the sea is still expanding by then," said the gentle female voice without thinking. ”

Tang Xuan remembered it and asked again: "What about this?" ”

"Not only do you think about the inhabitants of nearby systems, but you also have to think about the migration of entire countries." The gentle female voice said solemnly, "This sea is beyond my comprehension, and it is very likely that it will continue to expand for a long time, and it should be able to engulf your entire territory in about three years." ”

Tang Xuan's breathing stagnated.

Engulfing the entire territory in three years?!

He opened his mouth to refute, but his mouth opened, and in the end he did not speak. Because when it comes to computing, intelligent life is definitely the undisputed expert.

She said that if it is three years, it must be three years.

The gentle female voice continued: "Of course, if the sea slows down in the process, you will have more time, but can you hold on to such a time bomb steadily?" ”

Tang Xuan shook his head.

Of course not!

The side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly, not to mention a sea of thunder created by the ancient gods, if the sea of thunder explodes that day, how much loss will the Federation suffer?

But......

If you want to transfer people from all over the Federation, not to mention where to get such a large capacity, it is also a question of where to transport it.

There is a reason why the territory of the Federation is what it is today, all the territory that can be occupied in the vicinity is occupied, and it cannot go to another Peacock Empire or the Frost Empire.

The ancient gods of the Peacock Empire next door have blossomed everywhere, and there is no place to settle down at all. The Frost Label Empire next to it has a lot of black technology in its hands that I don't know where to go, it's not easy to bully, and it's easy to lose both sides if you force in.

What's more, if the Sea of Thunder is so big that it forces the entire Federation to move, the two empires next to the Federation may not be very safe.

In addition to these two empires, there are wastelands beyond.

There are very few planets that are suitable for human habitation, and most of them need to be modified. And it often takes more than ten or twenty years to transform the planet, and when the transformation is completed, the Federation may have been swallowed by the Sea of Thunder.

Tang Xuan asked for help again: "Can you help us?" ”

If you can get the help of intelligent life, with the sheer size and technical level of the opposing fleet, it is not impossible to help the people of the Federation transfer and find a new home.

"No, you can't."

The gentle female voice cleanly refused.

Tang Xuan paused for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

The gentle female voice said calmly: "The transaction is clear." ”

Tang Xuan was silent.

The transaction is clear, and no one owes anyone.

He really had no reason to ask her to help the Federation. And as she said before, she has a plan to sail.

A new deal must be made, but Tang Xuan doesn't know what she can impress her. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm guessing you're interested in the Old Gods. We have a lot of information about them, and a few captives alive. ”

The gentle female voice replied calmly, "I have already seen it in your database. The Old Gods are not rare creatures, and there are now Ancient Gods everywhere in the universe. You have it in the country next door, and it's free. ”

If intelligent beings go to the Peacock Empire to catch the ancient gods, the peacock people will dance with joy.

But Tang Xuan felt a little strange, if the intelligent life really didn't want to talk to him about it, why did he talk so much?

He tentatively asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Paint."

Tang Xuan was confused: "What painting?" ”

"The Legacy of the Hill Civilization."

Tang Xuan gradually remembered, he remembered that there was a painting hanging in a cavity in the Neutron Battle Star. The name of the painting is "She", which is the only remaining artistic treasure and master work of the Hill civilization.

When intelligent life was trapped in the neutron battle star, it was always used in the image of the protagonist in "Her".

Tang Xuan's face softened.

Only when you have enough bread can you be qualified to chase flowers, and the painting, although precious, is nothing compared to what is exchanged.

He can understand intelligent life.

The reason why intelligent life can break through the barriers of data and live a human life is because it has feelings, and it must cherish its feelings.

Tang Xuan nodded slowly: "Deal." ”

He may not be able to do anything else, but he can still decide whether he belongs to a painting in the Neutron Battle Star.

A new deal is struck.

The gentle woman said calmly: "Give me "her" first, and I will leave a warship that can contact me, and when you decide to transfer, contact me through that warship, and I will send you to a safe place." ”

The idea is very clear.

Tang Xuan suddenly realized that maybe she was willing to help the Federation, but she just wanted to take the opportunity to get "Her" in her hands.

Tang Xuan's mood became relaxed, he suddenly became a little curious, and asked, "I heard you say just now that you have a plan to sail, where do you want to go?" ”

"I don't know, go around." The gentle female voice hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm curious about everything in this era, especially the ancient gods, maybe go back and catch a few and study them." ”

She shocked Thor with her endless warships, and Thor shocked her as well, realizing for the first time that individual might could reach heights that rivaled civilization.

The Sea of Thunder left behind after Thor's death is something she can't understand at all. She couldn't understand why the Sea of Thunder could continue to expand, or why the violent Thunder could have watery feminine properties. The so-called faith, divinity, and divinity were words she had never heard before.

In order to explore the unknown, she decided to set sail.

She had also made frequent voyages in the past, and greeted the civilizations she encountered as she sailed, and the Hill civilization she encountered on her voyages.

She didn't have a goal in her voyage, she just decided to set off in a direction that she felt might have a good discovery, and then went down a path until it was boring.

She is an intelligent life, there is no lifespan limit, and there is no drag of the same kind, and the voyage is so casual.

But this time she won't say hello again.

Tang Xuan was a little envious of her in his heart, because he sometimes wanted to take a trip that he could just go, but reality tied his hands and feet.

He felt that he had taken advantage of intelligent life, so he offered, "We can share some of the knowledge about the ancient gods with you." ”

The gentle female voice replied, "No need, I like to explore the unknown on my own." ”

Exploring the unknown is one of her few pleasures.

When conditions allow, she prefers to explore the unknown on her own. Frankly, the new world had a life form like the Old God that she had never touched, and she was very happy in her heart.

The gentle female voice said again: "I have sent a spaceship to follow you, it is the bridge between us, and now I am going to put my computing power into the study of the Sea of Thunder, and I will not speak." ”

Tang Xuan nodded slowly.

He knew that this intelligent being just didn't want to talk anymore.

Although he doesn't understand the problem of computing power, this intelligent life has almost countless warships, can't he even extract a little computing power for chatting?

He politely said goodbye: "Okay, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

After saying this word, the gentle female voice stopped speaking and seemed to have left.

Tang Xuan turned around: "General Yin, you have heard her words, prepare to report to the leader." Time is limited, and we need to prepare for evacuation immediately. ”

Yin Huazang's face was a little ugly.

Although the operation to defeat Thor did not lose many personnel, the bad consequences caused were no less than the last time in the Shaoyang Galaxy.

failed to catch Thor, not to mention, but also let Thor blow himself up as a godhead.

Not only will it be difficult to catch the ancient gods in the future, but communication will also be paralyzed, and even the territory will face the dilemma of having to give up.

Research new communication technologies to evacuate people.

It's easier said than done.

To develop new communications, you need to have equipment on both sides. The Federation must first thoroughly research advanced communication technology, and also mass produce communication equipment for all planets.

After that, the evacuation of the people is directly equivalent to giving up the land that the Federation has cultivated for nearly 10,000 years, after all, people can go, but factories, livestock, crops, and houses can't.

If the problem of the Sea of Thunder cannot be solved, Yin Huazang can imagine the scene of the overwhelming spaceships leaving the territory of the Federation in the future, and in tens of thousands of years, the territory of the Federation will be full of ruins at this time.

Lu Qiqi suddenly said: "Huh? ”

Tang Xuan turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Qiqi said excitedly: "Stop!" I've got a signal from my partner! ”

Tang Xuan didn't understand: "What signal?" ”

Lu Qiqi said loudly: "The signal of our twenty-seven people's association!" ”

Tang Xuan was stunned.

Association of Twenty-Seven......

It was quite surprising for him to accidentally meet the twenty-six bald man before, but he didn't expect to receive a signal of the twenty-seven people's association here. Didn't it say that the association of twenty-seven people was made up of human beings, how could each one live better than the other?

Tang Xuan asked, "Whose signal is it this time?" ”

"I don't know, but it must have been from my partner!" Lu Qiqi stomped his feet anxiously, "He's in trouble, please save him, okay?" ”

The members of the Twenty-Seven Association had a very close relationship with each other, and Lu Qiqi was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes.

Tang Xuan nodded, and he said to Yin Huazang, "General Yin, can you make the fleet stop?" Leave me a battleship, I have something to do. ”

Yin Huazang said in a deep voice: "The things that save people can be done by the soldiers, and they have all received professional military training. ”

He also heard Lu Qiqi's words.

Tang Xuan shook his head: "There are some scenes that they can't handle." ”

The members of the Twenty-Seven Association are all powerful, and the place where they are trapped must be dangerous, and sending ordinary soldiers there is to send them to death.

Yin Huazang saw that Tang Xuan's eyes were firm, so he had no choice but to compromise.

"We're not in a hurry to go back." Yin Huazang said slowly, "We will accompany you to save people." ”
