"Chief Consul, is that true?"

There were still people in the audience who couldn't believe it, and confirmed it to the black-haired golden-robed man again.

However, after the man asked the question, he immediately came to his senses and felt that what he said was inappropriate, and immediately added one more sentence in a loud voice:

"In the past 10,000 years, we have been looking for traces of fraternal civilizations, but they have all sunk into the sea."

The archon smiled, understanding the man's question.

"The universe is so big, even if we have mastered the unprecedented jumping technology, but jumping without purpose and direction is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it also requires a lot of energy, so a large part of the luck component of this discovery is in it."

"In recent decades, we have basically solved the problem of energy supply by using the technology of Stellar Sail, so the frequency of expansion into extrasystem expeditions is naturally much higher, and the probability of discovering them has also increased a lot."

After listening to this, everyone nodded in agreement, and this explanation was the most reasonable.

"Teacher, where are they?" Ida asked questions that others were also more concerned about.

"It's within the Milky Way, 1,480 light-years away."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, this distance was still within an acceptable range, and even if the two brother civilizations were to have large-scale contact at that time, it would not need to spend too much energy.

"And what about their civilization level? It shouldn't be far from us, right? Cynthia also asked curiously.

When the chief consul heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he slowly spoke:

"I'm afraid it's going to disappoint us."

"Could it be that it has surpassed the bottleneck of the second-level civilization and reached the level of the third-level civilization?"

"No, they haven't even reached the first level of civilization yet, and the civilization coefficient is only 0.73." The archon smiled helplessly, as if he knew the reason.

As soon as these words came out, the audience gasped, and some people even felt that the information was wrong.

"How is it possible, with our previous level of civilization at the peak of the second level, no matter how much we degenerate, we will not be lower than the second level, right?" The military consul Baldwin was a little puzzled.

"What if they abandoned all the gains of civilization and chose to start from scratch?"

The white-haired old man in the field, the tech archon was not as shocked as the others, but spoke the result of a calm analysis.

"Elder Zhang, you go on."

The chief consul was not surprised by the white-haired old man's speculation, this Heavenly Master powerhouse who had opened the Quadruple Heavenly Eye, in fact, also took on the role of a military advisor.

In terms of strength, he not only equaled the strongest Celestial Master achievement in human history, but also cultivated countless rising stars for the human civilization of Tabi Star for hundreds of years, so his contribution is not insignificant.

Although the Chief Archon has lived far more years than him in terms of his actual age, he still respects him with honor, and also respects the old man's lifelong dedication to the Tabi Star civilization.

Seeing that the chief consul signaled him to continue, Zhang Lao was naturally no longer polite, and fully stated his views:

"If a civilization on the run wants to survive, there are only two ways to choose: one is our type; The second is to return to the original and start anew. ”

"Are they stupid? Why did you abandon the original achievements of civilization? ”

Baldwin didn't wait for Zhang Lao to continue, and then asked some urgent questions, obviously not understanding the reason.

"Stupid? I don't think so. Zhang Lao denied it and continued:

"If the civilization in this universe is at a higher level of development, the more it needs to absorb a huge amount of energy to maintain its operation, and the stronger the signal released to the outside world, then this result is obvious, and the probability of being discovered by other civilizations is much greater."

"Think about ourselves, what we do when we discover other civilizations. Listening to the signal? Observing the state of the stars? These are closely related to the degree of development of civilization. ”

"And perhaps, the phenomenon of us using stellar sails to accumulate stellar energy in recent decades has been observed by many civilizations. Stellar changes are one of the most obvious phenomena on a cosmic scale, a process that is almost unavoidable. ”

"So if it were me, I would probably make the same choice as they did."

After Zhang Lao finished speaking, he sighed lightly, and he didn't know whether it was regret or happiness.

"Isn't that cowardly?" Baldwin still disagrees with that alternative view.

"There is only one word difference between a coward and a reckless man, it depends on how they weigh it."

The Chief Archon glared at Baldwin, who was talking quickly, and was a little dissatisfied with what he had just said.

Elder Zhang didn't mind, and after expounding his opinion, he buried his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes and recuperated, while waiting for further news from the Chief Consul.

"Alright, I'll tell you a little bit more about the fraternal civilization."

"From the information gathered by the expedition team after entering that star system, it is known that the galaxy where the brother civilization is located is called the solar system, and there are eight planets in the system, and they live on the only planet suitable for living - the earth."

"Wasn't the expedition discovered?" Ada asked with some curiosity.

"With their current technology, they can't detect us. However, the expedition team discovered the Earth's satellite, and there is a hidden celestial machine on the far side of the moon. ”

"Of course, the Heavenly Machine is an intelligent machine made by imitating the ability of the Heavenly Master, which is very familiar to humans, and all the major planets in our galaxy are arranged." Baldwin interjected without losing any time.

"But fortunately, the expedition's spacecraft are all equipped with small celestial equipment, and they are always turned on at any time, so the fraternal civilization should not have discovered us yet."

"In addition, we have detected that human civilization on Earth is going through a journey of awakening, and the initiator is the only remaining cultivator from 10,000 years ago to the present."

"As for why it triggers awakening, it should have reached the point of last resort, presumably the human compatriots on the earth are experiencing a test of survival at this time."

The CEO has seen the subtleties and speculated on the current difficult situation of the human race on Earth.

"Have you fallen to this point?"

Zhang Lao slowly opened his eyes, a little unbearable to imagine the situation that human beings on the earth need to face now and even in the future, and the real crisis is not inward, but in this vast and boundless universe.

"Can we pull them up, then?" Ada asked, a little unbearably.

"It's not time yet." Without waiting for the chief consul to speak, Zhang Lao had already spoken out in denial:

"I agree with the approach of the old guy who has guarded the human race on the earth for tens of thousands of years, at present, the human race on the earth has not fully awakened to the responsibility and mission that human civilization should have, and it is difficult to unite to form a joint force, this is the inferior nature of human beings, as a kind of human being, you know it very well."

"So my suggestion is to observe secretly, and then guide a little if necessary, and if we really encounter a range that they can't reach, we won't be too late to act."

"I agree with Mr. Zhang." The Chief Archon nodded, and continued, "The observer's ......"

"I'm going." Before the archon could finish speaking, Ada had already taken the lead in raising her little hand, eager to get the essentials.

"And me." Cynthia also stood up in a hurry, with a lot of interest on her pretty face.

"No, you two are gone, what if something happens together?"

The Chief Consul was the first to veto.

"Cynthia, you go, take Dean with you, so that you can take care of it. Baldwin, are you okay with that? ”

"How can it, Dean is the best kid in my line, it would be better for him to go through it."

Baldwin grinned, how could he not seize the opportunity of his own kid to get close to one of the Tabi Shuangjiao, hoping that this kid would fight for himself.

"Teacher......" Ida was unwilling, so she had to use her coquettish tricks, and at the same time looked at the technology archon who was smiling helplessly on the side.

"It doesn't work, you can stay there."

After the chief consul finished speaking, he stood up and left the council hall without looking back, and the others hurriedly followed, as if they wanted to fight to leave the place of right and wrong, for fear that the little witch behind them would pull them into the water as lobbyists.

In the conference hall of Nuo University, only Zhang Lao was left with only a dozen or so high-level Tabi Stars pacing slowly, but he was too old to keep up with the pace of those people in front of him.

"Elder Zhang, won't you help me either?" Behind him came Ada's coquettish voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Lao paused, turned half of his body and made a silent gesture, smiled and winked at Ada, and then continued towards the door of the hall.

Somewhere in a bustling parking port in Tabystar, there's a small shuttle that's ready to fly with enough energy.

There are two figures in the plane, a man and a woman, sitting in the cockpit.

"Sister Cynthia, I have you to take care of this mission."

The young man smiled flatteringly at the beauty beside him.

"Don't drag me down, don't think about kissing Fangze, sister, I'm not something anyone can touch."

Cynthia shook her long red hair a little arrogantly, and her coquettish posture made the men on the side stare at her.

"Don't be stupid, are the coordinates synchronized?"

"With... Synced. The man wiped his hair, and his eyes reluctantly turned back to the virtual operation screen.

"Let's go." Cynthia gave the order, and the shuttle slowly rose, and then disappeared in the sky above the dock at a rapid speed.

Taby Star Headquarters, above the dome of the giant sword-like building, three figures stood side by side.

"Elder Zhang, is this really good?" The Chief Archon sighed helplessly.

"Don't you believe in the old man's foresight?" Zhang Lao said with a meaningful smile.

"Why, since that's the case, then let's wait patiently."

The military consul standing aside did not say anything, but he was secretly rejoicing in his heart:

"It's perfect, Dean's chances have increased a lot."

At the edge of the star system where Tabi is located, there is an area with a radius of about one kilometer, and the space is faintly fluctuating, and if you look closely, it seems that there is an invisible warship hiding in it.

Inside the battleship, there were several black-robed figures standing, and their figures were much taller than humans.

In the middle of the black-robed figure, the virtual image of the Tabi star system was clearly displayed in front of them.

"It's been 10,000 years, and these poor creatures finally can't help but show their feet."

One of the black-robed figures spoke coldly in an extremely sharp and harsh voice, but what they spit out was not human speech, nor did it belong to any kind of human civilization.

"We've been aware of the change in the star's brightness since decades ago, but these poor creatures are cunning, and the frequency of their use of stellar energy is completely random, leading us to think that it's just interstellar dust drawn to this star."

"Do you want to eradicate the grass for a while?"

"No, we don't know how many branches of civilization they have left outside, so let them unconsciously become coolies looking for other civilizations, and then they can naturally be uprooted and never suffer in the future."

"Yes, we will continue to monitor."

"Besides, haven't they already sent someone to the solar system to make covert contact? I think we can play a little game......"
