Chapter 562: Where's the Laughing
In the void of the universe, an asteroid fortress with a diameter of 920 kilometers is slowly flying towards the outer layer of the third spiral arm.
On the surface of this asteroid fortress, a huge steel edifice stands on the surface. The top floor of the building is completely covered with glass, and the people inside can directly look at the cosmic starry sky.
At this time, on the top floor of the building, there were two people standing, one of whom was looking down at the document and saying something.
"Patriarch, it will take at least half a year for the Third Biosphere to be built, mainly because we don't have enough genetic power to supplement the consumption of equipment makers. However, the food supply of the tribe will soon increase, and the Academy of Sciences has developed new high-yielding crops, and the dietary problem can be solved in a maximum of three months. ”
"How much material inventory is left, and how many years can we hold out without replenishment." The patriarch didn't have any joy on his face after hearing this, but took a deep breath and asked.
"We can hold out for thirty-seven years without any addition, but the Center for Space Research has discovered a wandering terrestrial planet 7.2 billion kilometers ahead of us, and according to the results of the detection, this terrestrial planet has enough resources to support us in building a fortress."
"That's good, by the way, how are the radiation defenses for the supernova explosion going?"
"It has been prepared, and the radiation of the supernova explosion in a month will definitely not be able to penetrate the inside of the fortress protected by the shield."
"Well, that's good, you go down and get busy."
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the radiation of the supernova explosion has shrouded this cosmic void.
The asteroid fortress is supported by the protective shield of the temple of civilization and race, and it is struggling to support itself in the raging radiation. The energy consumption data displayed on the large screen in the command hall made all those who knew how hard-won energy reserves were distressed.
It is seven days. The asteroid fortress flew as fast as possible in the direction of the origin of the supernova explosion radiation, and finally flew out of the region with the highest peak radiation energy on the night of the seventh day.
At this time, the energy reserves in the asteroid fortress have bottomed out, and if it hadn't been closed long ago, if all areas outside the internal non-defense system, power system, energy system, and biosphere system were supplied with power, whether the protective shield of the asteroid fortress could support it was a question now.
"Open the isolation panel, close the protective cover, and replenish the energy reserves as quickly as possible." The patriarch said with a sigh of relief.
It has now left the area with the highest peak of radiant energy. However, there are still various low-level radiations, but most of the low-level radiation can be blocked by opening the barrier plate, although this will cause some damage to the people in the factories on the surface of the fortress and the defensive ring. But in order to save energy, I had to do it.
As the radiation passed, various detection equipment outside the asteroid fortress restarted and began to scan the surrounding cosmic void.
You know, every minute in the universe is dangerous. A meteorite with a diameter of only a few centimeters. At ultra-high speeds, asteroid fortresses can be stacked to pose a great threat. At the very least, when the shield is not opened, the defense ring cannot withstand the meteorite fragments at ultra-high speeds.
Therefore, once these meteorite fragments are found, the small directed energy weapons on the defense ring will destroy those meteorite fragments as soon as possible.
However, when the optical telescope was reopened, it was found that in the direction of the source of the supernova explosion, a sky-blue planet of life was rapidly approaching them.
When the photos taken by the optical telescope were displayed on the big screen inside the Small Cosmic Fortress, the entire command hall was instantly silent.
Because the pictures taken by optical telescopes are very clear. Even the massive defensive ring on the surface of the planet could be seen clearly, let alone on the outside of the planet. There was also a glowing fireball.
"Patriarch, the Academy of Sciences has completed the assessment."
"What is the conclusion of the Academy of Sciences?"
"The conclusion of the Academy of Sciences is that the other party's scientific and technological level is at least one level higher than ours, and of course, the worst-case scenario is that the other party's civilization level is one level higher than ours."
After this conclusion of the Academy of Sciences was spoken, the personnel inside the command hall all looked desperate.
"Why didn't we find out earlier, the other party has already found out in front of us." The patriarch roared angrily.
"Because the radiation from the supernova explosion obscures the information of the other party, the other party hides behind the radiation, and all the detectors cannot scan the other party's existence."
"Will we be able to escape each other's pursuit as fast as we can?" The patriarch asked helplessly.
"Basically, it's impossible, the current speed of the other side is already 1.7 times our regular sailing speed, if we sail as fast as possible, although we can get rid of the other side. But our current energy reserves are insufficient, and if we turn on the curvature engine, we will not be able to travel a maximum distance of 0.6 light-years.
And we don't know if the other party has the ability to pursue, if the other party also turns on the curvature engine, with our current energy reserves, we shouldn't be able to fight with the other party. ”
The patriarch thought for a while and said, "We took the initiative to send a message to that civilized race, saying that we were in trouble and hoped that the other party could help us. At the same time, with all its energy reserves, the fortress cannon began to self-check. ”
……
"Chief, that pioneer civilization has sent a message saying that they are in trouble and hope we can help." Zhang Lei said to Xiang Qian with a smile.
"It's funny, it's been a long time since we've been in a situation like this." Xiang Qian also laughed, and then said with emotion.
"Are we going to send the battleship over directly or ......" Zhang Lei was interrupted by Xiang Qian before he finished speaking.
"No need to send battleships, send them communications directly. Being able to become a pioneer civilization at this time and build the prototype of an asteroid fortress is quite a good potential for this civilization race. Xiang Qian waved his hand and said.
"Okay, send the communication right away." Zhang Lei nodded and said.
Soon, the image of the patriarch of that civilization was displayed on the big screen, and if you just looked at it from the screen, you really couldn't find that the other party was a weak existence. From this point of view, the patriarch of the other party is quite calm.
Xiang Qian believed that the other party must be in contact with an alien civilization for the first time, so it was already very good to be able to perform like this.
"Respected civilized ......" As soon as the other patriarch spoke, before he could finish a word, Xiang Qian directly shouted to stop.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, tell you the name of civilization, your name, I don't bother to listen to the rest." Xiang Qian's mouth was very direct and very domineering.
"The name of our civilized race is the Xingjiao Civilization, and I am the patriarch of the Xingjiao Civilization, Yu Mang."
"Well, the Xingjiao civilization, the second-level early civilization, has just withstood the radiation of the supernova explosion, and there are still seven .eight percent of the energy reserves left. The asteroid fortress is only 62 percent complete, the third biosphere has not yet been built, and the food supply is still in a serious state of shortage.
I know very well about your civilization, and I can tell you for sure that I think it will be easy to destroy your Star Horn civilization, much easier than you think. It's good that you didn't lie when you answered my question.
So I now give you two choices, one is to immediately throw yourself and become a subordinate race of our civilization. The second is to be destroyed. You've got thirty minutes to think about it, and when that's over, I'll assume that you've defaulted to the second one, and your little galactic fortress will be a cloud of fireworks. Xiang Qian made an explosive motion, and then turned off the communication.
After Xiang Qian closed the communication, he found that the people around him were looking at him with a constipated face, whether they wanted to laugh or not, and they were about to go crazy.
"Look at what, what kind of expressions do you have, just laugh if you want. Isn't it just to scare the children, you guys are like this? Xiang Qian shrugged and said.
Hahaha......
A series of laughter rang out in the command hall, and the group of people who laughed were all reborn members of the Earth Federation, while the newcomers born and raised on the Earth looked blankly at a group of high-ranking members of the Earth Federation.
They couldn't understand why they were all enthusiastic when they heard the leader's domineering declaration just now, and they couldn't wait to kill it immediately and destroy that alien civilization. But the effect is dramatic, and they don't know where the joke of that declaration is.
As a result, inside the command hall, a group of bigwigs were laughing wildly, while a group of staff members were standing there with black lines on their faces, and they didn't know what kind of expression they should choose to use. (To be continued......)
