Time slipped by, Yan Ming and the Smoke Scar Adventure Group were busy, and everyone made a lot of decisions for this adventure. If nothing else, the distance of 1,500 light years, even with the current technology, the time to go back and forth, plus some exploration delays, adds up to 50 years is no problem. Even if life expectancy is generally extended now, especially after the popularization of cultivation, many people live longer than 200 years old, or even 500 years old, but 50 years is still not a time that can be wasted casually!

However, the current Yan Ming and his subordinates are all busy connecting with this alternative civilization. And it's divided into two groups. One party is connected to the mechanical life society, and the other party is connected to the fallen intelligent life.

The two kinds of connections use different communication technologies, different coding techniques, and so on; It is not surprising that today's Chinese civilization has come up with two completely different communication technologies, and has annexed the entire Pearl Star Domain! There is also contact with the ice civilization; And it also has the foundation of cultivation civilization, and even merged with the elf civilization! The way the Elven civilization transmits signals is very interesting.

However, it will take three to four years from here to the destination, so for the time being, you can only passively obtain information through guò contact; In the universe, slowing down is always a serious problem and a waste of time.

In addition, many of the probes launched did not directly rush into the opponent's alert range in order to reduce the enemy's vigilance; Rather, it is mixed in some nebulae and drifts with the current; Even probes and other things are hidden in meteorites. And, of course, the technology of these detectors emitting signals. It is also completely different from the previous two communication methods, and the possibility of causing the other party to discover is minimized.

Sou...... Sou...... 270,000 spacecraft shuttle rapidly in space, and every time they flash, it is a distance of tens of billions of kilometers. Faster-than-light space teleportation technology is now almost common, and even ordinary expedition fleets can buy it - provided you have the financial resources. Of course, after continuous research and development, the cost is now extremely low.

Seeing that the target is getting closer and closer, the signals received are more and more clear, and two magnificent nebulae are gradually appearing in the distant space.

As mentioned earlier, there are two nebulae in this location. One is the North American Nebula. That is, the place where special civilizations are discovered; There is also the Pelican Nebula. Among them, the Pelican Nebula is almost twice the diameter of the North American Nebula.

But again, we can see the shape of North America and the pelican, also because it is obscured by the dark nebula. Actually after crossing this dark nebula. Unfold in front of you. Completely different nebula. They are not really special in shape; Of course, not special is not special, but it also has some characteristics of its own.

For example, the Pelican Nebula has an edge that looks like the tentacles of a jellyfish. That's the expansion trail from the explosive dash; Anyway, it looks like snail horns.

And the North American nebula looks like an infinite layer of scattered rose petals. It's just that this color is red because it cools. Nebulae that are not cooled are bright colors such as blue, white, etc.

And because the distance is approaching, the top management of the expedition has also held many meetings; And now there is another meeting.

Zhao Qingyun sat in the first place: "The theme of this conference is, should we focus on intelligent life or mechanical life?

First of all, from the perspective of extensiveness, we already have a lot of intelligent life, but we lack a civilization of mechanical life.

Second, from the perspective of safety, mechanical life is more dangerous.

Third, from the cost point of view, it is more appropriate to establish diplomatic relations with mechanical life.

Fourth, judging from the current communication situation, this civilization of mechanical life actually has only a few central computers in charge, and the rest are attached to the same storage zài.

But actually, I personally believe that it is in our best interest to be able to accept both sides, if possible.

Mechanical civilization is very rare, at least for now, and if it is possible to be convinced, it is very important to the development of our science and technology, and even has the effect of warning.

Another intelligent life, which can study a civilization with completely autonomous capabilities, is also worthy of our attention.

So today's discussion is, is there a good way for you to have the best of both worlds! And if we can't rescue at the same time, then which side should we focus on! ”

For a moment there was silence around. For some time, the meeting has not been easy. Also, any decision here is a matter of life and death for another civilization! Although they are all inadvertent, they also unknowingly control the life and death of others and formulate the fate of others! It doesn't matter whether it's moral democracy or not, it's just that a strong civilization is inherently a kind of suppression of a lower civilization!

"Report, I have an idea!" Yan Ming stood up, "Your Highness, I think we can package and program the machines and stuff them into the virtual world. In this way, we will not only be able to completely control them, but also not worry about danger; It is also possible to synchronize the research machine qì people. We can simulate a universe in the virtual world inside the computer so that the machine can survive.

And those intelligent lives are the objects of our key rescue! ”

"Well......" Many people were surprised for a while. Don't say it, it's really doable! According to the current research, the core of mechanical life is nothing more than some chips and programs, although different civilizations may be very different, but as long as human beings study a little, they should be able to be packaged and compressed, and then stuffed into computers!

It's really a great idea! At this moment, Zhao Qingyun's eyes changed when he looked at Yan Ming. Cowman, it's just a stroke of genius! It's the best of both worlds! One is placed in the virtual world - it is a virtual life anyway; A Reality Rescue!

"Boy, let me see how your head grows!" Li Jia jumped to Yan Ming's side in an instant, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Alright, alright, adjournment!" After Zhao Qingyun finished shouting, he was the first to leave the conference room. Today's things are so simple -- they would have been complicated.

But just two days later, the meeting was held again; This meeting was not about discussing anything. Rather, there are several small probes that have finally entered the realm of mechanical life with meteorites, etc.; In the past, everyone was careful to contact each other, for fear that an inappropriate connection would cause direct hostility from the other party.

Different from ordinary intelligent life, mechanical life has a strong endurance! Whether it's cold space or a planet of a few hundred degrees, it's their base of survival. As long as they have the resources and energy, they can reproduce wirelessly – at least in theory.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why many people in Chinese civilization are clamoring for the mechanization of civilization!

The biggest machine is simply a spaceship! But this spaceship is also completely different from the spaceship of intelligent life; The simplest thing is, don't pay attention to the seal!

They don't need water, they don't need oxygen; The ability to tolerate temperature, radiation, etc. is beyond imagination. And even more. They are also completely different in size!

Some of them have human-like structures. Some are like insects; There are even nanomachines with human structures, like jellyfish. And in terms of size, there is also a huge difference, some are only the size of a palm, and some are simply huge spaceships! Yes, the ship itself here. It's a complete mechanical life!

At the moment the probe is hidden in a meteorite. Just in sight of a spaceship!

The spacecraft is nearly 70 kilometers long. It is 3 kilometers in diameter and surrounded by a robotic arm that looks like an oversized centipede. But there are three rows of "arms" on the body, the arms are large and small, some arms have five fingers, no palms, this mechanical arm is two kilometers long, open and close, the meteorites in space, etc., hold, and then directly spray some ion rays and other smelting! In a dozen seconds, a meteorite with a diameter of 100 meters will turn into a metal element, and the remaining material will be thrown into space, filling the space with dust and debris.

Some arms are scissors, some are cannon barrels, some are three-fingered, some are engines, etc., and so on; There is even a kind of "worm nest" -- there are a large number of nanomachines, qì people, detectors, and so on.

Suddenly, the detector detected a scene that made everyone angry! I saw that one of the "feet" of this centipede-like mechanical life suddenly opened, and then a transparent glass chamber was thrown into space, and there was an obviously flesh-and-blood life inside - it should be the native intelligent life here.

However, the next moment, this intelligent life was suddenly thrown into space, struggling in vain! And there are a lot of mechanical beings around!

These onlookers are mechanical centipedes, palm-sized spiders, imitations of native intelligent lifeforms, and tigers, leopards and snakes. Obviously, mechanical life is flexible! Perhaps, they can change their bodies at will!

Soon, intelligent life stopped struggling in space and opened its mouth to protrude some bubbles! This is due to the fact that the pressure in space is too low, and the body of life is already boiling; Obviously, high technology has made this intelligent life not freeze to death, but boil because the pressure is too low!

One bite, another bite! These mechanical beings are actually playing "blowing bubbles"!

And then it didn't stop, and he pulled out another "person", and then - played dismemberment......

After that, there are not only intelligent life, but also ordinary animals.

Of course, although it is bloody and brutal, some nervous scientists on the side of the Chinese civilization pointed out that it is very likely that the other party is doing research!

It's just that this study ...... It's really unbearable for normal people!

Of course, to be honest, scientists in China have not dissected intelligent life, but at least they haven't made it public! It's like now, this is simply torture! There are even mechanical beings who brutally burrow into the bodies of intelligent life, and then ...... Forget it, harmony comes first......

One intelligent life after another was pulled out, and they were powerless to resist under the powerful mechanical force!

"Click!" Zhao Qingyun crushed the cup in his hand at once, "I think that mechanical beings still can't get along with us, turn them into programs again, and put them in the computer world." Do your best to rescue the intelligent life here! ”

Seeing the scene at this moment, everyone immediately abandoned the previous discussion. Such a brutal situation can be seen in just one corner, and one can imagine the situation of the entire civilization! (To be continued......)
