Chapter 17: The Lost Civilization (1)
What kind of concept is a spacecraft with a mass of more than 100 million tons and a surface area of more than 10,000 square kilometers?
Even if the spacecraft is a regular sphere, it means that the spacecraft is more than 60 kilometers in diameter, but what if its shape is to focus on structural stability and aerodynamic streamlining? How big will it be?
Noah knew that just such a spaceship, even if it was not equipped with any weapons, could destroy all life on a planet simply by hitting it with the main body of the spaceship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it's so big that it doesn't look like a spaceship at all, but a space fortress.
Noah also knew that the scale of its construction was also nearly 10 times larger than the theoretical largest blueprint ship left by the old human civilization in the database, the [Aurelia class......
Aurelia is the "second earth" imagined by NASA, SETI Association and scientists in the British astronomy and biology circles in the 21st century, and it is also the second home that people are looking for in the entire 22nd and 23rd centuries.
In other words, this spaceship can never be the heritage of human civilization.
[Trident] is still approaching it at an extremely high speed, Noah has no intention of hiding, not to mention that the other party has discovered himself long before he found them, and with the other party's level of technology, Noah knows that he is not the opponent of this unknown civilization.
"It would be nice to be able to communicate peacefully. -- Out of emotion, Noah reported "
Soon the spaceship came within the range that the camera could capture, and Noah could witness the shape of the spacecraft more intuitively.
Sure enough, it was surprisingly big, the [Trident] seemed to be an ant looking up at a giant, the overall streamlined appearance reflected the other party's mature spaceship manufacturing process, and the shell with a shimmering obsidian luster could reflect the other party's superb material technology, Noah knew that if this spaceship had the weapons to match it, the strategic value of this spaceship alone might be equivalent to a developed country of the old earth civilization.
This is the first time that human civilization has come into direct contact with extraterrestrial civilization, no matter what the fate of civilization will be, this moment will become a monument in the history of civilization, even Noah, at this moment is very excited and uneasy.
The universe is no longer desolate, the universe is no longer empty, and intelligent life outside of human beings exists.
Noah decided to try to communicate first, and soon, a very simple and straightforward radio message was sent from the Trident.
"I am the survivor of the civilization of the earth - Noah (Noah), it is an honor to meet you, I am amazed by the scientific and technological strength of your civilization, I welcome you on behalf of my civilization and my departed people, welcome to the solar system, an advanced strange civilization."
Noah knew that even if the other party did not understand the language of the world, the other party would be able to tell from the waveform frequency of the radio waves that it was a band loaded with intelligent information, and if the other party wanted to communicate, they would definitely send out a similar band, so that communication between civilizations would be possible.
However, there are doubts about whether the other party really wants to communicate with Noah peacefully, otherwise the other party will not launch the comet that almost destroyed the earth, so while waiting for the other party's reply, the girl is also very afraid that the trident will suddenly be turned into space junk.
If it is determined that the other party is malicious, then the girl can only abandon the solar system and escape as soon as possible on the ark, after all, Noah will only be crushed by this strange alien civilization at present, whether it is military or technology.
But after a long time, Noah did not receive any reply, and Noah sent the radio waves again and continued to wait...... Once again, the radio waves were emitted, and they continued to wait...... Once again, the radio waves were emitted, and they continued to wait......
This action was repeated 20 times, but Noah still did not receive any reply, Noah knew, maybe the other party did not have the idea of communicating with him at all, but it may be another possibility.
The Trident began to fly around the spacecraft like a mosquito surrounding a sleeping lion, stopping here to observe, and there to scan it with radiography, although this may anger the civilization, but it is also a kind of temptation, and from the other person's reaction to his own behavior, you can roughly infer the other person's attitude towards him.
Noah planned to collect as much information as possible about the Trident before it was captured by the other party, but as the amount of information increased, a doubt gradually emerged from Noah's thoughts.
"This ship...... Maybe there are no living beings? -- Speculation, Noah reports"
The reason is not only that [Trident] harassed the other party like this and did not react, after the Trident scanned the entire spaceship with infrared rays, Noah found that the entire spaceship did not have a single heat source.
This is completely unreasonable, not to mention that life itself should emit infrared rays, even if the existence of extraterrestrial life may be beyond Noah's understanding, but the engine of the spaceship, the central computer, the energy engine, will not emit a little heat?
Noah knows that although there is a big gap between the earth civilization and this unknown civilization, it is definitely not to the extent that even understanding the other party cannot do it, not to mention that Noah himself is also a super-civilization product that has been ahead of the technological level of the 23rd century for an unknown number of years.
"Temptation? -- On the suggestion, Noah reported "
Then, a particle beam weapon grazed the edge of the ship, and after firing the particle beam, the [Trident] immediately retreated to observe the ship's movements.
For a long time, the spacecraft still did not move, and Noah did not receive any radio communication.
“………”
"Strange civilization, on behalf of my civilization, I welcome your arrival, and please show your attitude, if you don't answer, we will automatically judge you as a malicious civilization, and a war will start between us."
After Noah sent this message, the 10 rounds of one million equivalent hydrogen bombs loaded on the Trident began to lock on the huge spaceship, but Noah was also very scared at the moment, such behavior was completely gambling, gambling with himself and civilization.
But this strange civilization still did not reply to any messages.
The girl frowned slightly, and in the next second, a particle beam weapon bombarded the surface of the spaceship head-on, although it failed to cause any huge damage, but the other party did not use any defensive measures, allowing the particle beam weapon to attack the spaceship.
For a long time, the spaceship still did not move, and Noah still did not receive any communication.
"Strange civilization, is this your choice?"
Noah sent another radio message, but there was still no response.
Noah gritted his teeth slightly, and several missiles were launched from the trident, bombarding various positions of the huge spaceship, the spacecraft still did not take defensive measures, and the violent explosion spread from the main body of the spacecraft, which was a million-ton equivalent triggered hydrogen bomb was detonated, and the violent impact made the trident quickly retreat.
When the light dissipated, Noah could clearly see that the spaceship had been damaged, after all, it was a million-ton equivalent hydrogen bomb that was detonated at zero distance, and all positions of the spacecraft were damaged, but 10 million hydrogen bombs detonated at zero distance could not destroy the spaceship, and even the external armor could not penetrate completely, Noah was once again afraid of the material technology of this civilization to make spaceship armor.
This means that even if the opponent's spaceship is left to fight, there may be no way to break the defense......
But even so, the ship did not take any action, and Noah still did not receive any communication.
At this time, Noah can be sure that the spaceship does not carry any intelligent life, not even AI.
"I can't understand it. -- Noah's Report
If this is just an empty spacecraft, where did that comet come from?
Maybe there are still a large number of fleets hidden in the endless sea of stars behind this spaceship?
Maybe the ship was a decoy? Lure yourself in and then catch yourself?
Or maybe this time it's not a civilizational disaster, but an opportunity?
Noah's mind began to spin rapidly, gathering intelligence, prioritizing, and logically deducing, and after a second, Noah came up with the best way to deal with it.
Abandoning the newly completed facilities on the surface of Mars, all the robots begin to land on transports and shuttles.
The transport ship and the shuttle arrived in a synchronous orbit on Mars and stood by.
The Ark began to sail from the surface of the moon, carrying Noah's main engine, and flew in the opposite direction of the ship's direction with maximum engine power.
Small warships and warplanes also set sail, carrying the last weapons of civilization and flying in the direction of the ship with maximum engine power.
What exactly will happen after that, Noah doesn't know, but no matter what happens, a new chapter will be opened in the history of civilization.
