Chapter XVIII: Tombstones

"We've won?"

The scientific research group on Earth fell into a state of distraction in an instant.

At first, they didn't expect this war to last so long, and they never imagined that they would be able to achieve such an achievement.

And now, not only have they won, they have gained a lot of completely new scientific knowledge.

If these scientific knowledge are allowed to be studied by the earthlings from scratch, they may need to be studied for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even hundreds of millions of years.

However, now they are victorious.

The scientific knowledge they acquired was enough for them to push the entire civilization to a more developed state in a very short period of time.

And Xue Wang also got a new treasure chest.

The things that are opened in the treasure chest this time are also the ones that can make the entire civilization "soar".

This is a "Miracle Building Card" that can be used on any planet that Civilization Candidates have access to, and can be used to build a Miracle.

And the miracle that Xue Wang chose for the solar system is the Dyson sphere.

The Dyson sphere is a structure that wraps the entire sun.

The usefulness of this wrapping is that all the energy from the sun will be absorbed by the Dyson sphere, which greatly improves the abundance of energy, and what does the abundance of resources represent?

To a certain extent, it represents the level of this civilization.

For example, the earth before was only a first-level civilization, and even the earth's own energy could not be used well.

It wasn't until Xue Wang entered the earth's core that the use of energy finally reached a better level.

And the vast majority of this energy is not used to improve living standards, but to process large calculations.

Therefore, the living standards of the earthlings at that time were not too high, but in the later days, the discovery of science and technology from the sun made the situation much better.

And now, the establishment of the Dyson sphere will represent the entire human civilization and enter a new era.

However, at the same time, Xue Wang also received a new task, which was to defend his homeland.

Because the owner of the sun, at the last second of losing the authority of the sun, used the energy of the sun's burst to make a broadcast to the universe.

The position of the sun and the possession of civilization were broadcast.

In the early universe, the number of civilizations was almost endless.

And any civilization that can travel long distances between stars is almost more advanced than the civilization on Earth.

Therefore, the system requires Xue Wang to resist the attacks of other civilizations.

And after Xue Wang finished using the miracle card, he began to build fortifications on the surface of this building.

In fact, this Dyson sphere is far bigger than imagined, not only does he wrap the sun, but he also wraps the earth and Mars, as well as all the planets where life exists.

If the Dyson sphere is not the kind of building that absorbs electromagnetic waves, but the kind of building that reflects electromagnetic waves outward.

It is estimated that whether it is Earth or Mars, it will be like grapes in a microwave oven, heated to explode in an instant.

And now, in the entire Dyson sphere, because of the abundance of energy, if you want to travel between planets, you don't have to be as excited as before.

If you used to have to launch airplanes, now you can drive by yourself just like driving a car.

Xue Wang, who couldn't come out of the sun, was also a little embarrassed when he saw such an almost unrecognizable solar system.

After all, he is not an old man now.

However, in just over a decade, the earth has changed to what it is today.

From a fairly modern society, it has become completely sci-fi.

When Xue Wang returned to Earth, he experienced another kind of shouting and cheering.

At this moment, he is like a living god.

For such a person who entered the depths of the sun and was able to come out alive, it seems that these honors are not particularly great honors.

However, Xue Wang's main focus soon changed to the arrangement of defensive facilities on the outer layer of the Dyson sphere.

Although the average thickness of this Dyson sphere built with miracle cards is one kilometer thick, it seems to be very thick, but it is already very thin on the scale of his entire volume.

Therefore, it is simply a matter of course to arrange defenses on such a thick eggshell.

According to the current scientific and technological strength of the earth, although it is still a difficult thing to build a Dyson sphere. But because of those problems, it is not difficult to build some excellent defenses.

After just a few tens of minutes, Xue Wang, together with the Earth supercomputer, determined the defense settings of the entire Dyson sphere.

The subsequent construction work requires a group of engineers to cooperate with the establishment of the Dyson sphere.

That's right, it's built with the Dyson sphere.

This Dyson sphere has a relatively high degree of intelligence.

In a way, it can even be said that he is much smarter than the vast majority of humans.

However, the problem he faced was not a matter of being smart or unintelligent. Rather, it was seen as a tool from the moment it was born.

Can such a tool have civilization? OK. But is it possible to have civilization? When pigs fly.

Because they're just a tool.

Their fate is predestined, to serve the civilization that made it, and to know that civilization is perishing, they may still maintain the illusion of civilization's existence and continue to serve.

Because......

That's what they're all about. If there is no civilization, they themselves have no meaning to exist.

Xue Wang also hoped that the Dyson ball provided by the system would be a fully armed Dyson ball, but the reality was that this was not the case.

When the entire Dyson sphere fortifications were only one percent built, the first invading civilization came.

It's a mechanical civilization.

They are space battleships in their own right.

Because they are mechanical civilizations, they have a wide range of activities in the universe.

Because you don't have to care too much about the environment you live in like carbon-based creatures, and you don't have to care too much about energy like electromagnetic life.

Therefore, they are like gypsies in the universe, they can wander forever.

And many of their wanderings are not voluntary, so when they found out about the information provided by the sun, they came to the solar system, wanting to anchor here and use the energy here to build more fleets.

However, the hope is good, but the truth is tragic.

Although they looked very powerful, Xue Wang captured their entire fleet in only thirty minutes.

Their behavior is as ridiculous as a few small sampans trying to defeat an aircraft carrier.

Although, the current civilization of the solar system may still have only one shell of an aircraft carrier. The whole is not yet possible to sail far away.

But that's it, it's not a few ships of the miscellaneous mechanical civilization that can attack and occupy.

These mechanical civilizations, perhaps all along, have been in a state of wandering.

Therefore, they are also very open-minded.

Now that they were captured, they simply pledged their allegiance to Xue Wang, promising to contribute all their strength to the civilization of the solar system.

However, Xue Wang couldn't look down on their combat effectiveness for half a dime.

Therefore, Xue Wang taught them all the technology they had. Soon, after verifying these technologies, it was judged that the degree of civilization of the entire mechanical civilization was about two levels.

If you look for a comparison object, it is comparable to the electromagnetic wave civilization on the sun.

It's only because of the nature of their civilization that they are able to travel through the universe so freely.

And after Xue Wang finished analyzing their ranks, he was also thinking about whether to use them and form a fleet, although it was useless, but it could expand the scope of action.

Therefore, Xue Wang also asked for their star map, and according to their star map, he learned a lot of information about the nearby universe.

Don't think that the information of the universe is easy to obtain, in fact, although the entire universe has almost countless civilizations, the vast majority of these civilizations, from their birth to their demise, have little chance to intersect with other alien civilizations.

Their masters, who come from advanced civilizations, are willing to provide them with superb scientific and technological strength to step into the universe.

However, according to convention, rookies who enter the universe like them are the easiest to be eliminated.

Because they don't understand one thing, that is, awe.

Xue Wang maintained enough awe for the entire universe.

Not only because this universe is so powerful, but even the most developed civilizations need to follow the route of civilization candidates in an attempt to make civilization continue.

It is more because of the mystery of this universe, and the more knowledge you gain, the deeper you feel about this universe.

The whole universe is like an incomparably thick book, even after a lot of careful study, I still don't know how thick it is.

Sometimes, Xue Wang would also wonder if the experiment of super civilization had failed.

However, he thought about it again, maybe he hadn't failed yet, and civilization candidates like him were still active in this world and working hard to build civilization.

And the second wave of invaders, Xue Wang had not yet discovered when he first started.

However, it is also very easy to deal with after discovering it.

This is a civilization that is the same as the solar electromagnetic wave civilization.

However, compared to the short-wave civilization of the electromagnetic wave civilization, they are a long-wave civilization.

Moreover, it is almost impossible to carry information for a long time.

If it weren't for the Dyson spheres to regularly self-check themselves, even the slightest difference in background noise, almost no one would have noticed that they were already lurking in the Dyson sphere.

However, due to their long wavelengths, there is too little information they can carry, and it is not easy for this information to be operational.

Therefore, Xue Wang just detained them all and did not conduct much other research.

After all, although they overcome the difficulty of electromagnetic life, there is no way to act at a distance.

However, at the same time, he also lost the greatest advantage of electromagnetic wave life.

What is the biggest advantage of electromagnetic wave life?

The biggest advantage of electromagnetic wave life is that they can think the most times in the shortest time.

And the third time it came, it was finally not so watery.

The civilization that came to attack this time was finally a carbon-based civilization.

However, this carbon-based civilization for the sake of astronautics has almost given up as a purely carbon-based life. It's combined with mechanics.

They are also based on ships as separate units.

However, they do not seem to have the cold beauty of pure mechanical life, nor the harmonious rhythm of carbon-based life.

Rather, it is like a very evil creature.

The organs are exposed to the outside of the ship, which has been mutated by cosmic radiation.

Even if there is no air in the universe, just seeing their appearance can already feel that they stink.

Xue Wang, on the other hand, did not discriminate against this route, but after about ten Earth days, he captured them and won the victory, and began to study their history to see why they chose this technological route.

After research, it was found that they were also a civilization with many disasters.

By the time their civilization was born, the stars in their galaxy were already very unstable.

Intermittently expanding, devouring everything around it.

And their civilization, in order to survive, watched their sun expand day by day. They want to build a huge spaceship and go into space.

However, although their technology has developed fast enough, the number of stars has increased faster than the technology they have developed.

As a result, they are forced to leave their planet before they have completed the ecosystem.

There are more than 10 billion intelligent life forms in the world, and only more than 10 million of them came up in the end.

And of these tens of millions, because of the imperfection of the ecosystem, less than 100,000 people will soon die.

And the remaining 100,000 people, if they want to survive, they have thought of various ways.

Among them, there is a small group of people who have modified their own bodies, trying to use the energy of the spaceship to maintain their own survival.

He did it.

More and more of the remaining people have chosen this path.

They were like parasites, parasitic on the ship.

And because the ship has not yet been fully built, aging is a normal thing.

And they didn't have spare parts to repair the aging, so they had to think of only one way to repair it with their flesh.

And these flesh and blood tissues, after leaving the protection of the spaceship, were quickly mutated by cosmic radiation, and became what they are now.

And as the ship continues to age, they can only fill one hole after another with their own flesh.

Therefore, when they learned that the sun was a habitable place, they wanted to re-establish civilization here and get out of the embarrassing situation they are in now.

It's just that the competition between civilizations is cruel, and Xue Wang built them a tombstone, but lack eliminated them.
