Chapter 686: A Dog-Eat-Dog Plan to Die
One hundred and sixty light-years away from the main planet of the United States, the Suche civilization has arrived here and is stationed in the universe.
Silicon-based civilizations do not need water, and can directly absorb inorganic matter from the universe and transform it into their own composition, which is the nutrient they ingest. In addition, they are able to absorb solar energy in the universe as an energy source, and they belong to a high-level three-dimensional civilization that has evolved to a certain extent. After all, the so-called semi-four-dimensional civilization can only be called a high-level three-dimensional civilization.
The creatures of the Suche civilization themselves can survive in the universe, but of course they also need warships, which are tools that can sail quickly in the universe. If there are creatures that can survive alone in the universe and can move quickly, except for Ike himself, who can move through the long river of time and space, there are only wanderers who have met in a hurry.
The Wanderers are a mysterious alien race, and while they don't seem to be using the vast river of time to move, they must have other ways to quickly travel through the universe over long distances.
According to the "Saiko", the Rangers do not use warships at all and do not develop warships, because they can catch up with the speed of warships, their envelope protection is harder and safer than the hull of any warship, and their destructive ability exceeds that of the main guns of any warship. However, in addition to this information, the other information of the Wanderer has not been unlocked, which is one of the last tens of thousands of information left in "Saiko" that has not been fully recovered.
Don't think that tens of thousands are a lot, as the "light brain" crystallized by the core of the four-dimensional race technology, "Saike" stores the amount of information that exceeds the sum of all the information in the three-dimensional space, and tens of thousands is naturally a very small number for this, and it can even be ignored.
This also adds a layer of mystery to the Wanderer race, which must be a terrifying race.
The space warships of the Suche civilization also stayed here at this time, as a warship made of special silicon-based organisms, the strength of the materials was greater, and the degree of "human" artificial intelligence was also higher. But the shape of these warships is more peculiar, it turns out to be a sphere.
That's right, the sphere, for humans and some low-level three-dimensional civilizations, the use of sphere warships is undoubtedly a very stupid act. This is because the Sphere Battleship will have a difficult steering speed change, and it will be difficult to make a light-speed jump.
However, the warships of the Suche civilization are all spherical, they are semi-four-dimensional technology, and naturally have methods beyond some low-level three-dimensional so-called "physical laws", after using semi-four-dimensional technology, the speed of this kind of warship is very fast, and the maneuverability and leaping ability are also more powerful.
And this kind of sphere is naturally very suitable for the Suche civilization to live, and all star warships have gravitational wave sources on them, which suck everything on the battleship firmly towards the center.
It can be said that this kind of warship is like a planet, and in fact, each warship is about the same size as an asteroid with a radius of 100 kilometers, which is a very huge warship, a little larger than a human heavy attack ship, second only to the human interstellar mothership (the coverage area of the interstellar mothership is almost the size of two or three provinces on the earth in the 21st century).
At this moment, there are five such ships, each located in various positions near a star. Interestingly, these five sphere battleships are like planets at the moment, constantly "orbiting" around the star, and the sphere battleships themselves are also rotating.
If there had been no war, or no need for navigation, the spherical warships of the Suche civilization would have served as their place of residence. They are planets that inhabit almost all of the Suche civilizations.
The Suche civilization seems to have a planetary worship mentality, and they specially built their warships into such sphere warships, and made everything work like planets.
"It's a strange civilization." Makarov sat down at the cockpit and looked at the surveyor with a nonchalant expression, "If there were no accidents, they should have noticed us." ”
"Uh...... It is incredible, that such a civilization has gone beyond the three-dimensional realm. Next to him, Nathan Good, who was staring at the spherical battleship above the surveyor, looked like he was speaking cautiously to Makarov. In Nathan Goode's mind, Makarov's group doesn't seem to be too bad, but they are so ruthless that he sometimes has to be careful.
Thinking of this, he glanced admiringly at Gordon Freeman, who was piloting the battleship. The great scientist was usually so cold that he didn't speak, almost never at all, except for a question that interested him, and he was even colder than Ike.
Gordon Freeman wears a strange yellow-and-blue outfit with a strange character that looks like the wavelength "λ" in physics, and a crowbar that looks like it looks rusty forever on his back.
Intrigued by Ceph's technological makeup, Nathan Goode has been researching it, and when he met Gordon Freeman and Moira Brown, the three hit it off and formed a research group. So there were fewer meetings between Nathan Goode and Norman and others, who were working on it while others were busy liberating America.
This time, Makarov did not listen to Ike's persuasion, and he asked Freeman and Goode, along with many pilots, to work together to transform the human warship into a Ceph-like warship.
At this moment, there were only three of them in this battleship, and they piloted this battleship that looked like a huge translucent blue jellyfish on the outside, and also had some cold energy effects (the strength will not kill them for the time being), to the frontline station of the Suche civilization that they had only discovered with great difficulty.
In fact, it is not an exploration, they found this strange place only after searching the vicinity from the location where the last American fleet was completely annihilated.
Fortunately, the spherical warships of the Suche civilization were too large to be discovered by human surveyors, so they carried out Makarov's plan. The plan is to have Ceph eat dog with a silicon-based civilization, and to collect information about Ceph's war with a silicon-based civilization.
"They...... It doesn't seem to be a three-dimensional civilization. At this time, Gordon Freeman raised his head for the first time, he drove the battleship to slow down, and looked at the two of them with a serious face and said, "Sphere battleship, this must be beyond three-dimensional technology!" ”
"Could it be...... Is it four-dimensional?! Nathan Goode shuddered. For the mysterious and unknown powerful existence of the four-dimensional civilization, all human scientists have guessed. At present, almost all human scientists maintain the same view as Stephen Hawking in the 21st century, that if there are four-dimensional civilizations (aliens), their coming to the human world (earth) will be a disaster, and they will not enslave human beings, but will destroy human civilizations that are like ants to them, and if they are suddenly unhappy, such as "falling out of love".
"Nobody knows." Gordon Freeman also seemed uncertain for the first time, "I think Ike has a point, we shouldn't mess with this kind of existence, but this data collection is really important." ”
"Of course he has a point." Makarov looked out the window, still unresponsive to their approach, silicon-based civilization, "but something has to be done." The worst enemy of humanity, I think will soon be transferred to these guys. ”
"Don't be afraid of Ceph?!" Nathan Goode asked, confused.
"Hehe, the two bastards Price and Thorpe have already sent the specific information of the anti-particle bomb to Zoomlion, and I think a large group of scientists must be stepping up the development of this weapon at this time. With anti-particle bombs, the Ceph people have nothing to worry about. ”
"Anti-particle bomb!" Gordon Freeman nodded, "No problem, indeed, and we need to focus on this civilization for now, before all of humanity notices this greater threat." ”
At this time, the Ceph jellyfish battleship, disguised as a human warship, was constantly approaching the sphere warships.
Makarov: They are waiting, and the spherical battleship will attack this battleship, which is tantamount to playing *fire*self-immolation*.
But the silicon-based civilization has been slow to do so, and the situation seems a little strange.
"What's going on, those aliens won't all leave the battleship, right?" Nathan Goode was puzzled.
"Closer, closer." Makarov reminded that the warship flew into the gravitational wave field of these planetary warships.
"Still nothing happens." Gordon Freeman frowned, and he began to think about what Ike had said back then, "DRG weapons, very evil, it's better not to mess with them, what does that mean......"
"Very evil!" Makarov, who was also nervously paying attention to Suche's reaction and pondering, suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that thing!" ”
He immediately thought of the Divine Seal Fragment, of Ike's recovery of his memory, and of Zakhaev's careful telling him that he must be careful of the Divine Seal.
Could it be that Ike said, be careful of this civilization, because of the divine seal!
He didn't know that his guess had deviated from reality, if this civilization had a fragment of the Divine Seal, it would only take a few hundred million years to be a four-dimensional creature.
"They haven't reacted yet, what should we do." Under the pull of the gravitational wave field, the jellyfish battleships began to fly towards the center of those star warships, and they were about to stop at the surface.
"Send a distress message and leave immediately!" Makarov immediately activated the switch of the high-power directional teleporter, and at the same time, "the information that Commander Ceph was attacked by a silicon-based civilization was also sent to various places in the nearby universe." ”
The aperture of the teleporter lit up, and in an instant, the white light flashed in front of the three of them, and they disappeared in place.
The next moment, they appeared on a human warship dozens of light-years away.
"I didn't expect to really succeed in getting out." Makarov was also surprised to be able to leave safely, he was almost ready to die, "I just don't know if it will cause a war between the Ceph and the silicon-based civilization, even if it is a 'dispute', so that we can observe and get information." ”
He was still confident in the surveyors his fleet had built over the decades, incorporating an unknown extraterrestrial technology, and with the research and refinements of scientists such as Moira Brown, it was able to survey what was happening in very distant star fields.
"It's not safe here, and we need to go back to America right away." Gordon Freeman immediately activated the ship, and the entire ship sprang to its feet and began to leap into the speed of light.
"Whew, it's finally safe......" Nathan Goode wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, this time he actually came with him voluntarily, because he wanted to see and study the magical silicon-based civilization, it can be said that death is the basic quality of a scientist, of course, to some extent.
But when he went to that place, Nathan Goode only felt so depressed that he didn't even dare to breathe out of the air. Because of his history of being captured and experimented by Ceph, he was very afraid of this high-level civilization.
After several light-speed jumps, they finally returned to the skies above the main planet of America.
"Ah, for the first time, it feels like America isn't bad......" Nathan Goode genuinely relaxed, turning his head to look at the two of them, "I suggest starting the survey now." ”
"Yes." Makarov nodded, and then started the communication.
"Moira, I'm Makarov. Now it's time to start surveying, and the coordinates are the ones that were originally predetermined. ”
"Ah, Makarov, are you still alive, it's wonderful......" Moira Brown seemed to be crying, "you bastard, we'll have to kiss you when you get back......"
Nathan Goode wanted to laugh at the funny words, but when he looked at Makarov's cold and expressionless face, he didn't dare to laugh, but looked at Freeman, who was also expressionless, with admiration.
"I'll talk about it later." Makarov immediately interrupted the other party coldly, but his voice sounded, as if there was a hint of helplessness, "Now give me a survey immediately." ”
"Okay, dear, I see, we're ......," Moira Brown chattered as she told all the surveyors to begin their survey. And on her side, all the survey team members also had funny expressions.
"Surveying ......"
"High energy reaction, high energy reaction!"
"It has been confirmed that there is a battle between the planetary homeland and Ceph's warship!"
"More than a third of the Ceph battleship group was destroyed.
It's unbelievable that they actually succeeded.
