Now, there are two most important questions for Wei Feng, first, who is the unknown existence that exists in the South Gate II galaxy? Will it pose a threat to its trip to the South Gate II? Second, what is the truth about the Silosis Project?

Before setting off, Wei Feng had always believed that the South Gate II Galaxy was an empty and dead star system, and he went there just to verify the feasibility of interstellar navigation, and at the same time, to be a pathfinder of human civilization. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Wei Feng had vaguely speculated about this before, including the metal fragments found on the asteroid, and the alien device that he once encountered that might hide a miniature black hole, all of which faintly hinted that human civilization should know about unknown alien civilizations, and now, he has detected such a signal from the South Gate II galaxy......

Ye Luo remained silent after saying those seven words, as if he was deliberately leaving time for Wei Feng to think. Wei Feng's heart set off a monstrous storm because of these seven words, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

"This message is almost certainly directed at human civilization, right?" Wei Feng muttered to himself, "Not against any of the rest of the alien civilizations, nor against my ......"

Ye Luo immediately replied: "At least eighty percent of the time." It's unlikely that it's aimed at the rest of the alien civilizations, and at the same time, it's unlikely that it's specifically for you. I noticed that in these words, the unknown being uses the plural of "you" rather than the singular of "you". But you're the only one in the ship, I'm a program, and I don't belong to the category of "human", so it's unlikely that it's aimed at you. From the point of view of the meaning of the information. It's also unlikely that it will target you. ”

"So...... Does it know what's happening in the solar system at this moment? It...... Do you know that human civilization has been plunged into war? Wei Feng muttered.

Ye Luo was silent for a moment, and then said, "It doesn't seem to know. We don't have solid evidence to prove this, but it should logically not know. ”

"So...... This person, no, this exists. Who the hell is it? Wei Feng asked.

Ye Luo replied, "I don't know. Maybe...... You can go to the South Gate Two Galaxy to have a look. ”

"Let me start from the beginning." Wei Feng thought hard, and at the same time kept pacing in the control room: "We assume that the island plan is related to this unknown existence, and it was because there was some kind of tacit understanding between it and the human government, and the human government, including the head of Keller, promoted the island plan, so there is me, with the Star Ocean spaceship, we take this assumption as the premise, so ...... The silo project must be there to achieve a certain purpose. In other words, what did the unknown being do with "us" in the South Gate II system? What is the purpose of human civilization carrying out the island plan and letting me go to the South Gate II system? Or what is the truth about the Silosis Project? ”

"I think these three problems should be regarded as the same problem, human civilization let me go to the South Gate Two Galaxy, it must be related to this unknown existence, and the truth of the island project is the same. But. What is the truth? What kind of tacit understanding will there be between an unknown existence and the government of human civilization? Wei Feng thought bitterly. But I couldn't think of an answer to this question.

"There's so little information available, and you can't possibly know the truth of the matter until you reach your destination, Captain, and make contact with that unknown being." Ye Luo said quietly, "However, you may have missed something in your previous thinking. ”

"What's that?" Wei Feng was stunned. Then he asked.

"The unknown civilization that we speculated was the one that had a large-scale war in the solar system between 500 million and 600 million years ago." Ye Luo sighed, "With the technology of our human civilization, it is unlikely that we will send someone to the South Gate Two Galaxy before you. So...... This unknown being sends messages to the solar system. Is it possible that there is a connection to the unknown civilization, or is it ...... Is it a member of that civilization at all? ”

Wei Feng was stunned, and then thought of many things.

"Indeed, I had forgotten that. According to what you say...... There may indeed be a correlation between the two. However, can that civilization really exist for 500 to 600 million years? It's been a long time beyond our imagination. ”

Ye Luo was noncommittal: "Who knows? I can't answer any of your questions about how long a civilization can exist until our human civilization finally perishes. ”

Wei Feng patted his head, and then said, "Indeed, we really can't make any guesses about how long a civilization can exist. Merely...... If that civilization really existed for hundreds of millions of years, then how advanced should a civilization that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years develop to the present? ”

Ye Luo was equally noncommittal about this: "This question is also unanswerable. Who knows, there are so many possibilities that we can't even guess. Or maybe that civilization has survived until now, and technology has not advanced much at all? ”

"Huh......" Wei Feng let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "In this way, all the speculation we have made is useless, and it is impossible for us to know the truth of the matter until we really reach the South Gate Two Galaxy." ”

"I think so." Ye Luo said, "My suggestion is that you should hibernate honestly, and when you arrive at the South Gate Two Galaxy, all your questions will be answered." ”

Ye Luo's words seemed to mean something else, which made Wei Feng's heart quietly move, but Wei Feng did not show this, but sighed: "Maybe it can really only be like this." By the way, Ye Luo, you said that there are three things to report to me, so what is the third thing? ”

"The third thing...... This time it's good news. Ye Luo said, "Do you remember the unknown alien device that you encountered more than two hundred years ago that is suspected of containing a miniature black hole?" ”

Wei Feng's head suddenly raised, staring closely at the sound raising device, that is, the place where Ye Luo's voice came from, and said in a condensed voice: "Of course I remember, how could I forget?" What, do you have an update on it? ”

"Of course." "After the initial capture plan failed, you sent out the instruments to separate the miniature black hole from the device as a whole, and set a trajectory for it to catch up with the Star Ocean spacecraft. At first, even I thought that this remedy was meaningless because the chances of success were so low, but it was so unexpected. That's right, two years ago, I received a signal from the propulsion device you sent out, and I calculated the distance between it and us, and then calculated the time it finally sailed to us. ”

"My calculation is that in two years' time, it will be at its closest point to us, and it will be less than 10 million kilometers away from us. On top of that, our spacecraft and its relative speed of movement are only a hundred meters per second, which means that as long as we send out a small low-power thruster at random, we can change its trajectory and make it move closer to us, and finally let us capture it......"

"Captain, I think you should be thankful for our good fortune at this moment. Do you know what the chances of success are? In my calculations, the chance of success is less than 1 in 10,000, and such a small chance is really happening to us. ”

Things are indeed as Ye Luo said. By the time Wei Feng finally took remedial measures and sent the repair equipment to separate the imaginary black hole from the entire device, the distance between the Star Ocean spacecraft and the unknown alien device had reached hundreds of billions of kilometers. At such a long distance, it is unknown whether the maintenance equipment will be able to get to the target correctly, not to mention the separation work that can only be carried out by pre-set programs, and then there will be more than 200 years to catch up......

There are so many places where accidents may occur, so much so that Wei Feng has lost hope in this matter, and even in the past twenty or so many times, in the long time of more than two hundred years, Wei Feng has never mentioned this matter to Ye Luo. But good fortune came quietly, and after more than 200 long years, it finally came.

"Yes, our luck was just too good. So what else is there to say? Wei Feng showed a little smile on his face for the first time, and since learning that there was a war in the solar system, Wei Feng hadn't smiled for a long time: "Things always have to be solved one by one...... Since our other doubts cannot be answered before reaching the South Gate Two Galaxy, let's deal with this matter first, a device made by an unknown civilization that even has a miniature black hole inside...... What kind of surprises can it bring us? ”

"I'm looking forward to it too." Ye Luo said.

"So let's start waiting for two years from now."

Two months of wakefulness passed, and Wei Feng entered hibernation again, but this time the hibernation lasted less than two years before it came to an end. Wei Feng woke up from his slumber again, and at this moment, Ye Luo was ready to capture the unknown device. (To be continued......)
