Chapter 14: The Dark Forest

(Congratulations to the first alliance leader of this book, "Wanjie_ Wood Man", thank you for your support.) Send a chapter first, and make up 10 more after it is put on the shelf.

I wish you all the best wishes: Happy birthday to the wooden people today, 2020/08/04. )

Extremely arrogant voices, coming through public channels; Because the signal is not encrypted, the intelligent program automatically translates.

Hearing this arrogant voice, the faces of the four players in Heard changed. Even the golden wyvern who had been lazy before suddenly raised his head, and the scales on his face were squeezed together. The lightning on the face of the electronic cloud has doubled.

The golden dragon has the most irritable temper, roaring again and again, and is about to start the communication and scold.

"Calm down!" Hilde scolded, "The reason why the other party uses the public channel is that they can't find our location." If you talk back, we'll be exposed. ”

Taking a deep breath, Hilde shouted, "Xiaoqing, stay silent and turn off all external lights, engines...... Also closed. ”

"Good master."

All the lights on the exterior of the herring are turned off, and the ship goes into electric silence. The powertrain is also turned off, moving forward entirely by inertia.

The starry sky is vast, deep, empty and lonely, and the stars of the Aslant galaxy are as small as grains of rice pearl in the boundless wilderness.

A kilometer-long battleship is even smaller like dust, and the matte surface makes the battleship more hidden.

Hilde collects data on the destroyed decoy ship to calculate the enemy's location, but only possible locations. Because it is a missile that attacks the decoy spacecraft, and the missile can turn around.

Missiles in the stars only need to be sprayed with compressed air to adjust their direction. And low-temperature compressed air is difficult to detect and track.

It only took a dozen seconds for 'Xiaoqing' to calculate the possible direction of the enemy: however, this was only an approximate range, a range of tens of millions of kilometers.

Hilde, however, was calm and activated the passive reconnaissance device on the spacecraft to scan the starry sky. Went out of my way to scan it over and over again.

It was silent inside the ship. Even Sincintikul no longer crackled.

More than three hours passed quietly, and finally an imperceptible red dot appeared on the observation image. If you don't look closely, you might even think it's noise.

Looking at the image, Heard smiled: "Although there is stealth technology, it is too close to Salmy, and there is still a little infrared radiation and reflection." ”

The elf was more vigilant, "Could this be the bait spaceship released by the other party?" Once we attack, it will be exposed.

Reflecting infrared radiation is almost common knowledge, and players in the Chaos Camp are exceptionally experienced in combat, and it's impossible not to notice this. ”

Hilde nodded slightly, "There is this possibility, then let's observe for a while." Now that the other party has appeared, we are in no hurry to land.

They only have three keys, and without our keys, they can't even open the entrance to the Ancient Quest Hall.

Let's be patient first! ”

Little by little, six hours passed. The battleship Herring, with its engines turned off, was still more than 100 million kilometers away from the target.

Zhao Yiyi opened his eyes, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be suppressed. The virtual experience card attached to the center of the brow has fallen off, and the brilliance on it has disappeared.

Hilde turned his head and sighed faintly, then smiled and nodded to Zhao Yiyi, not to mention it.

This attitude made Zhao Yiyi a little confused. "Why don't you ask me how I'm studying?"

The corners of Hilde's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "My life is my own, and the opportunity is given to you." ”

The excitement in Zhao Yiyi's eyes quickly faded, he sat up, and the recliner under him automatically returned to the shape of a seat.

After sitting down, Zhao Yiyi couldn't help but ask, "Why are you sighing?" ”

"The time set is too short. Normally, a virtual experience card can be used for more than 50 hours. ”

Zhao Yiyi hurriedly put the card on the table.

"It's useless, you can only use it once. Keep it as a souvenir. ”

Zhao Yiyi didn't say thank you, just nodded vigorously. But in Zhao Yiyi's field of vision, a pale red font appeared again in the system space:

Temporary Mission: Find a card that is invalid, there is a little residual energy, whether to absorb it: Yes / Can / Allow / Immediately /...

Zhao Yiyi: ......

The system has woken up from sleep, and I feel like I'm starting to let myself go a little bit.

Zhao Yiyi still ignored the system's prompts. This card has already been given to me, and there is no hurry. If the card turns into powder after absorbing the energy, you can't tell.

seemed to hear Zhao Yiyi's heart, and the light of the system flickered a few times before slowly fading away unwillingly.

Zhao Yiyi accepted the card and asked, "Are you almost at your destination?" ”

"This is the translator, Adou's, I'll reset it; There may be some imperfections, so let's go first. Hilde placed an earbud-like device in front of Zhao. Then he answered Zhao Yiyi's question, "I have encountered something, but I haven't reached my destination yet." ”

Zhao Yiyi stuffed the earbuds into his left ear - the virtual experience card, and there was a way to use the earbuds.

After the earbud enters the left ear, it automatically activates, expands, and is completely embedded in the ear canal without falling off. It's just that the earbuds are a little up, not too comfortable.

The earbuds were activated, and Zhao Yiyi could finally hear the 'words' of the golden flying dragon and the electronic cloud.

"Boy, do you hear that? Call Uncle Sound to listen. "This is the Golden Wyvern Grandet Richie.

"Welcome, welcome, huh......" This is the electronic cloud Xinxintikule. The crackling sound of lightning was translated as a 'boom' sound.

Hilde smiled and said 'Welcome' in her own words.

Elf Ivo Esther bent gracefully, "Welcome in." I look forward to you growing up as soon as possible and being able to fight side by side. ”

Zhao Yiyi thought about it, and according to the ancient etiquette, he thanked him.

But Zhao Yiyi thought: There is a high probability that handshakes and other methods will not work, and not to mention whether people are willing, just say that this electronic cloud has no hands; And Richie, what if you give yourself a paw.

Fortunately, there are ancient rite classes in the school, which is part of the education of the new era.

At this point, the five 'people' can be regarded as truly acquainted. With the translator, I can finally communicate freely with everyone.

Zhao Yiyi first asked a question: "Adou ran away, and the mission is also very dangerous." But people don't seem to care? ”

"Can you change if you care?" The elf answered Zhao Yiyi's question, "It is because of the danger that we must relax even more, so that we can meet the challenge wholeheartedly."

Life doesn't change because of your frustration; But you can be optimistic about life. ”

"Taught." Zhao Yiyi was in awe, "So, what happened to us now?" ”

Heard explained briefly.

After listening to the explanation, Zhao Yiyi let out a sigh of emotion: "This is a typical law of the dark forest!" ”

"The Law of the Dark Forest?" The elf came to be interested, "We also have the dark forest there, a terrifying place. Do you have that there? ”

"No, no, no......" Zhao Yiyi touched the tip of his nose, "This is just an image metaphor, not the real Black Forest." It is a hypothesis put forward by us at the beginning of our earth's starry sky and thinking about the universe.

The law of the dark forest believes that the universe is a super black forest, and every civilization is both a hunter and a prey in the black forest. We must be careful to explore, hunt, develop, and avoid exposure. Any civilization that exposes itself will be wiped out by the masses. ”

The elf listened and frowned slightly: "It's a bit extreme, but there is some truth, but it is only a little reasonable." ”

"This is the Dark Forest, I like it!" The golden wyvern flapped its wings, as if to cheer for this.

Xin Xintikule circled around Zhao Yiyi, and then floated to the side, and he didn't know what it meant.

Heard nodded thoughtfully: "Very wonderful conjecture, if 'civilization' is replaced with 'battleship', then it will be very similar to our current situation."

What advice do you have for the current situation? ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Yiyi's face.
