……

It's a special spaceship, and it's special because it's different from most of the most commonly used ships, but it's not unusual. The slender rod body is mounted on one side with a variety of complex operating robotic arms, and on the other side is a translucent membrane, the other end of which is connected to the same rod-shaped body, and the other end of the rod-shaped body is connected to the thruster and some strange equipment that does not appear to have a specific role on the outside. There is no need to worry about the shape of space because there is no air resistance, but this kind of fully spread structure is rare in spacecraft, and it is likely that a meteorite will be grazed and the fragile connections will be traumatized...... However, all small meteorites that approached the spacecraft were invisibly deflected by a faint force field nearby, flying into the invisible distance. This is not an ordinary spaceship, but a capture ship that Xinglan experimentally created, a capture ship that uses artificial gravity.

The technology of using the band field to create artificial gravity obtained from Yelai Star is a very practical technology, Xinglan can quickly decipher a kind of information through a powerful computing network, master new knowledge at an unimaginable speed, and can also simulate countless experiments in a short period of time, but when it comes to exerting creative thinking, it is not difficult to compare the creative thinking of a few people and dozens of people, but it is compared to the innovation ability of countless people in an entire civilization combined...... Especially since it is accompanied by countless coincidental discoveries, this kind of thing is too difficult.

After all, it's one thing to allocate computing power to process large amounts of data in different places, and it's another thing to split one's subjective feelings into countless different personalities. When she can obtain scientific and technological information from other civilizations, Xinglan will not be relentless at all, and she is very quick to apply it to actual deduction.

Releasing artificial gravity into the outside world and altering the speed of other objects by creating spatial deformations, resulting in a specimen capture ship that does not require physical contact at all. Someone on Yelai had already put forward a similar idea, but there were so many problems that needed to be solved in practice that they didn't completely solve it until the end, but Xinglan quickly simulated it after getting the information, and built a physical experimental ship of gravity capture ship.

At this moment, the gravity capture ship that was arranged near the orbit of the blue star had been completely filled with energy, and although there was no clearly visible operation interface, the equipment of the entire spacecraft was still running regularly, and with a brief flash of silver light in the surrounding space, the spacecraft that was still in orbit just now disappeared in an instant.

Continuous, short-distance space transitions, a common fast-moving method that brushes shallow across deep space water and barely disturbs the timeline, allow the gravity capture vessel to take several hours to move from the star's location all the way out of the frozen asteroid belt of the star system in which Arashi is located, deep into the void of interstellar space, and accurately intercept the target according to its calculations.

A chance optical detection of a signal on the outside of a galaxy led to the discovery of the uninvited guest, a fast-moving object at a considerable distance, heading towards the direction of the star at an extremely high relative velocity, and a simple reflective test proved that the other party had a fairly smooth surface. This immediately caught Xing Lan's attention, because it meant that the possibility that the other party was a man-made object was very high, and every time an external man-made object usually had a great impact on Lan Xing, she naturally had to intercept the other party outside.

The signalon can be regarded as a particle, but like all conventional matter, it also has wave-particle duality, and can also be regarded as a space wave, but it is not a two-dimensional wave like sound waves and water waves, nor a three-dimensional wave like electromagnetic waves, but an omnidirectional wave that permeates all ten dimensions of the universe. This complex high-dimensional structure must consume energy to maintain it at all times, and the same is true for moving in space, so most of the signalns in the outer regions of the star system are in an intermittent dormant state of energy saving, and they cannot observe each other well, until Xinglan sends a fast starship to the outer edge of the star system, and finally sees the truth of this unidentified object: a probe that seems to have completely lost power.

After a simple approach, he found that the other party did not react, so Xinglan sent this gravity capture ship. Any kind of mechanical claw is likely to damage the material itself due to improper force when grasping the detector of unknown material, and the use of electromagnetic field adsorption may interfere with some fragile electromagnetic instruments...... Of course, the probability of all of this happening is very small, after all, the equipment that travels in space is not so fragile in terms of physical and electromagnetic resistance, but the use of artificial gravitational field capture is undoubtedly the gentlest way, and it can even control the opponent to a specific position without physical contact at all.

Vaguely, Xinglan had a conjecture that if this artificial gravity device could be scaled down, it might be possible to create a small tool similar to gravity tweezers that could grasp objects in the air without physical contact...... Objects here are not just solid matter, but everything that contains mass, and if the space is distorted enough, it is theoretically possible to use this so-called gravitational tweezers to create a tiny black hole that traps a ray of light out of thin air.

Of course, the conjecture of this terrible tool is just a conjecture of Xinglan, and the technical content required to turn these into reality is terrifyingly high, just like picking up a grain of iron is not something Xinglan can do now, it is necessary to shrink the band field generator and quantum computer to an unimaginable level, maybe the Aerial Disk Civilization can do it?

Xinglan didn't know, but she felt that creating something like gravity tweezers that caught light out of thin air might not even be able to do it for the Aerial Saucer civilization.

Soon, the gravity capture ship from Cangxing approached the probe that was flying towards Lanxing at breakneck speed, and it was shaped like a cooling fan with eight spiral leaves, and most of the device's functions were clear at a glance. This is strange because even the equipment on the Nova is much more advanced than the one on it, and after a cursory inspection of the vent, Xinglan even found that there was a nuclear-powered engine inside...... The circuit technology of this probe is at most at the level of the 21st century on Earth, and such a primitive design seems too incredible for a probe that may have drifted through a long interstellar space.

Can even be interstellar travel with such a ragged thing?

Of course, whether there was something wrong behind it, or just pure luck, the probe eventually appeared in front of Xinglan. In fact, the latter possibility seems to Xinglan to be even more terrifying, if this is really a probe that has drifted here by luck, then its launch time probably goes back a long way. Xinglan still can't forget the last heat death of Yelai Star, originally just a chaotic and reluctant Aerial Saucer civilization has developed this terrifying and incredible space technology after more than 900 million years, although he knows that this kind of thing must be one of the few in the universe, but it does not prevent Xinglan from being vigilant about the relics of other civilizations.

Vigilance is vigilance, but Xinglan has no intention of leaving this probe here and letting it go, just like it is impossible for humans to completely give up taking a plane because they are afraid of a plane crash, not to mention that according to the current flight direction of this probe, even if she completely cares about it, the other party is likely to pass by Lanxing's location at close range.

The gravity capture ship completely unfolded the translucent force field membrane, and the space distortion that could not be detected by the naked eye began to pull the probe in the opposite direction in a gravitational manner, while the capture ship itself gradually changed the direction and speed of the voyage, trying to remain relatively stationary with the probe.

This detector is not big, in fact it is very small, the height of the detector is only more than one meter in front of the gravity capture ship of more than 100 meters is simply a small point, but it is precisely because this detector is very small, so Xinglan is extremely cautious in operation, and her intuition in the dark tells her that this detector seems to involve something very important, and it must not be missed, and must be carefully checked.

While the capture work was underway, the signal particles had already begun to permeate the outside of the probe, and Xinglan soon discovered that the outermost avoidance system and maneuvering system of the probe were just a shell, and there was a completely independent shockproof capsule inside, as if it was storing something very important. After thinking about it carefully, she didn't ask the capture ship to take the probe to the interior of the star system, but sent another ship loaded with detection instruments and automata, intending to disassemble and study the probe on the spot.

As mentioned before, the technical level of the surface of this probe is only at the level mastered by civilizations that have first contact with space, and the engine even uses nuclear energy instead of antimatter energy, so the circuits that drive the thrusters are completely devoid of energy.

In this case, the dismantling work is naturally very smooth, Xinglan does not have the idea that ancient artifacts are indestructible, as long as the signal is used to confirm that there is no key equipment here, she will even directly use a laser to cut the alloy layer on the surface of the detector, for her, the valuable part of this detector will definitely not be the outer layer of thrusters.

However, at the moment when the probe made physical contact with the robotic arm, a brief pulse suddenly appeared in the machine, which had long since lost power, and the coverage of the pulse was very small or even more than one astronomical unit, and the self-decoding information composition pattern also showed the information it contained extremely clearly in front of any civilization with enough computing power to decipher this special linguistic information.

[No civilization may hold the database for more than ...... time]

The last word in this message is a unit of time with its own frequency, which is about 135 years when converted to Lanxing time.
