After the communication soldier finished reporting to General Emmerk, he went out, and General Emmerk looked at Xiao Yun again: "Do you have any thoughts on this matter?" ”

"Thoughts......" Xiao Yun said as he pondered, "I agree with the inferences he reported to you, and I also believe that this flickering is caused by some object occlusion. The Raqqa galaxy had never seen this kind of flickering before, but now it is...... Then it seems obvious that the demons that exist in the Raqqa system block the radiation from the stars. ”

"What are they doing in the Raqqa system?" General Emak muttered to himself, "Blocking out the light of the stars must require an extremely large number of robots working together to do this, which means that this is a big move, and I wonder what their intentions are in doing so." ”

"You should probably check with your staff team." Xiao Yun said, "I can't fight, I can't judge the enemy's intentions. ”

"But the enemy is not humans, they are most likely infinite replication robots." General Emak looked at Xiao Yun deeply, "You are an expert in artificial intelligence, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Xiao Yun hesitated and said, "There is too little information available, and I have no way to judge." However, I have a principle to tell you, that is, all the actions of the robot can be copied infinitely, all the actions are based on the internal program, and at the same time, all these actions and behaviors must be based on one purpose, that is, to copy itself faster and better. Robots don't do things that don't make sense, everything they do is for that purpose. In other words, the actions they are doing at the moment must also be to replicate themselves faster and better. As for the stars being occluded. I believe this is just a side effect. I think. You might want to think about it based on this premise. ”

General Emak thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "You go out first." ”

"Okay general, goodbye." Xiao Yun bowed deeply to General Emek, and then walked out of the general's office.

This conversation with General Emek not only did not relax Xiao Yun's mind, but made Xiao Yun feel more and more heavy. There are too many unknowns and mysteries plaguing Xiao Yun, and worries about the future are always hovering in Xiao Yun's mind and refusing to leave. This made Xiao Yun's walking steps a little heavy.

A logistics officer walked up to Xiao Yun, and then arranged a place for Xiao Yun to stay, and informed Xiao Yun of the follow-up arrangements for him. After doing these things, the logistics officer left. Xiao Yun came to the collective dining hall of the Earth-class spaceship alone, intending to have a bite to eat here.

The restaurant was full of soldiers wearing regular military uniforms, because it was rest time, the soldiers also put down their previous seriousness, and kept joking with each other, the restaurant was full of laughter, and it seemed that only Xiao Yun was preoccupied.

"They probably don't know what they're going to face yet...... Xiao Yun thought silently, "After this expedition to the Raqqa Galaxy, I don't know how many people sitting here will be able to return to the solar system alive......"

Regardless of whether the things that exist in the Raqqa system are infinitely replicating robots or not, this trip to the Raqqa system will certainly not go well. This battle is bound to be tragic. Even if the human side sent an earth-class spaceship, Xiao Yun still didn't think that the human race had the certainty of victory.

After all. Those things destroyed five Tarzan-class ships and a large research ship in a very short period of time, so fast that the ships didn't even have time to escape.

When there is war, there will inevitably be deaths. And if Xiao Yun is not mistaken, from the time when human civilization stepped out of the solar system to the present, except for some small-scale battles when dealing with interstellar pirates, there has not been a single large-scale battle that can be called a war.

"Hey......" Xiao Yun sighed silently, and after eating the rest of the food on the plate, he turned around and left here.

Time flies, a month flies, and the preparations for departure are complete. A total of 2,216 combat spaceships of various levels, up to 100 heavy supply spaceships, and 10 logistics spaceships, as well as a total of more than 3 million soldiers, scholars, logistics support personnel, and medical personnel on this spaceship, have all gathered around the Earth-class spaceship.

General Emak gave the order to depart, and the more than 2,000 ships began to accelerate together. After a certain distance away from Sirius, faster-than-light travel was activated, and the ships disappeared from the visible universe together.

What awaits Xiao Yun and everyone in the spaceship will be a long journey of fifteen years. The rest of them also need to take on a variety of duty tasks, which means that they can't hibernate forever, but Xiao Yun is different. Xiao Yun did not take on a specific task, which meant that Xiao Yun could hibernate until he reached his destination. If something happened during the voyage that required Xiao Yun to intervene, the staff in the spaceship would naturally wake up Xiao Yun.

The huge fleet left the Sirius system without knowing anything about it. They were still going on with their lives, and they would never have imagined that the Earth-class ship that had brought peace to Sirius and the vital shipping lanes around it had quietly departed.

"Let's hope the departure of the Earth-class ship won't be known to those damn interstellar pirates." Xiao Yun thought silently, "I hope too...... This expedition to the Raqqa Galaxy can take down those demons. ”

The time for hibernation has come, Xiao Yun, who was lying in the hibernation cabin, flashed such a thought in his mind, and then the anesthetic gas was released, and after a while, Xiao Yun entered the deepest sleep.

Time passed, the sea of stars changed, and when Xiao Yun regained consciousness again, fifteen years had passed. The voyage was as calm as ever, there were no accidents or accidents during the journey, everything was as calm as if it had only been one night and had just slept through.

But Xiao Yun knew that there were many things that were different from before. The space-time span of nearly 30 light-years has brought about a starry sky completely different from that of Sirius or the Solar System. There are still many stars in the sky, but they are all unfamiliar. No, they are strange to others, but they are not strange to Xiao Yun. Because just a few decades ago, Xiao Yun had come here.

This starry sky witnessed the tragedy that happened in the Raqqa galaxy at the beginning, witnessed Xiao Yun's hasty escape, and also witnessed the destruction of the five Taishan-class spaceships and the scientific research spacecraft before. But Xiao Yun didn't know what they would witness next, and Xiao Yun hoped that what they would witness was victory and celebration, not death and sword soldiers.

More than 2,000 spaceships stayed quietly tens of billions of kilometers away from Raqqa. Although it is only a little bit away, the star is still invisible to the naked eye. It's too bleak and too small.

A number of probes have already been launched into the Raqqa system, and until they send back further information about the Raqqa system, the fleet will choose to stay on guard and not venture into the Raqqa system.

In addition to the probes launched into the Raqqa system, many other probes have been launched into the vast expanse of space. Interstellar warfare is a matter of extreme intelligence, and these probes placed around the fleet are the source of the fleet's intelligence. Whether the enemy chooses to attack by sneak attack or by attacking in the bright light, they will not escape the detection of the detector.

Of course, in addition to serving as intelligence collectors, the probes also had another mission, which was to collect possible fragments of ships or unidentified creatures around the Raqqa system. Those five Tarzan-class ships and the research ship must have fought fiercely with the unidentified creatures of the Raqqa system before they were destroyed, and since there was a battle, there must have been debris. By analyzing those fragments, General Emak will be able to obtain a lot of information.

But the subsequent developments were very unexpected. In the more than half a month since the fleet arrived in the Raqqa system, it has launched hundreds of thousands of probes and explored tens of billions of kilometers of space, but not a single piece of debris has been found.

Strictly speaking, the fleet did find something, but it was all a thousandth of a millimeter in diameter, and although they could be distinguished from ordinary interstellar dust by sophisticated detection instruments, they did prove that there was indeed a war here, but it was ...... Where did all the big pieces go?

There is no debris around the Raqqa system. Probes launched to the Raqqa system also did not find debris inside the Raqqa system. Not only did they find no fragments, they didn't even find any unidentified lifeforms that were almost certain to exist in the Raqqa system.

The Raqqa system seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned, with nothing but Raqqa and its only planet. No alien monsters, no spaceship wreckage, no human corpses...... Nothing. Everything was clean, as if all the previous experiences were just a dream.

The Raqqa system still maintains its calm that has lasted for billions of years, as if it had never changed.

"Then let's land the robot on the planet and take a look. It's impossible for those alien monsters to leave no traces. General Emak said. (To be continued.) )
