Chapter Fifty-Six: Heavenly Garden Four, Oult Cloud
When he first noticed this information, Xiao Yu was taken aback. Xiao Yu even wondered if his central computer had been hacked. But then it didn't follow the worst-case scenario, and for now, it seems to be just a piece of information.
Xiao Yu did not rush to analyze the meaning of this information, but quickly launched a large-scale inspection of the main control computer where he lived. Xiao Yu inspected every corner of the array's memory and analyzed every signal receiver, trying to analyze the ins and outs of this information.
But the result disappointed Xiao Yu, who didn't notice any clues about this information.
Xiao Yu, who had experienced the lizardman civilization incident and had perceived the face of the dark universe, had now become a frightened bird and began to be vigilant to any alien civilization to the highest degree. This situation of not being able to find any trace of the other party at all made Xiao Yu very uncomfortable.
After a comprehensive examination was fruitless, Xiao Yu began to analyze the meaning of this information.
The first thing to analyze is the method by which the other party broadcasts this message.
As far as is known, this method of broadcasting is not any method known to Xiao Yu. Conventional radio signals can be distorted over a distance, for example, a signal sent from the Earth, received from a place a light year away, is completely a noise, which means that the signal carried on this radio wave is lost.
Xiao Yu can be sure that the emission source of this information is definitely a light year away, and even, hundreds, thousands of light years away is possible. The most terrifying thing is that this piece of information can be directly translated into a language that Xiao Yu can understand without Xiao Yu's interference, which is very terrifying.
"With ...... A certain smart signal? How can it be? Xiao Yu was a little incredulous.
A signal is a signal, just a beam that is emitted, how can a signal also have intelligence? But if the signal is not intelligent, how could it appear in Xiao Yu's computer by itself and be translated into a language that Xiao Yu can understand?
Xiao Yu couldn't figure it out, so he could only put this question in the back of his mind.
There is no doubt that this civilization is definitely a super civilization that has surpassed itself for an unknown number of years. And...... The other party does not seem to be malicious.
But a sentence aroused Xiao Yu's vigilance.
"Please import this information into your central computer, the program will automatically start the manufacturing process, and then please communicate with us so that we can locate your coordinates."
After encountering the lizardman civilization, Xiao Yu decided to speculate on all alien civilizations with the worst mind, and naturally, this piece of information is no exception.
"With an intelligent wireless signal...... Importing a central computer? What if this piece of information carries some malicious program, and after creating an over-distance communication device, my coordinates are exposed, and the other party comes to kill me? After all, under the guidance of the principle that 'exterminating the rest of the civilizations can lead to the improvement of the luck of one's own civilization', any civilization can be used as nourishment in the eyes of the other more advanced civilizations. ”
"It can be assumed that the other party's intelligent signal can only have these capabilities for the time being, and does not have the ability to automatically obtain control permissions, and it will be discussed later."
Xiao Yu made up his mind. Because Xiao Yu really didn't dare to take this risk.
Assuming this message is true, then there are four key words mentioned in it, Sweeper, Ghost, Guardian, and Safe Zone. Overall, it appears that a being called the 'Guardians' has constructed an area called the 'Safe Zone' to resist the 'Sweepers' and 'Ghosts'. Moreover, after the Guardian, the word 'Alliance' was added. ”
Xiao Yu analyzed silently.
"So first of all, let's analyze, in the dark universe, the so-called 'alliance' cannot exist."
"Since it is an alliance, it must be composed of more than two civilizations, but since the extinction of the rest of the civilizations can improve the luck of their own civilizations, how can these two civilizations coexist peacefully? There is a possibility that these civilizations, when they did not know the principles of the dark universe at the beginning, had already begun to come into contact, and then after many years of coexistence, they had merged with each other and could no longer be separated, before it was possible to form an alliance. But the odds are still slim. Moreover, this possibility is only suitable for a very small number of civilizations to form an alliance. In this information, since there is the saying 'Guardian Alliance's Third Star Field Detachment', this possibility can basically be discarded. ”
"The second possibility is that there is an extremely powerful civilization as the lead, and many weak civilizations are contacted to form an alliance, and under the suppression of the powerful civilization, the principle of the dark universe will temporarily become invalid. But why is it necessary for this powerful civilization to do this? Doesn't it know that the elimination of so many weak civilizations will bring them more benefits? Maybe it's out of pure kindness, a sense of morality? ”
"It's too joking, it's basically impossible."
Xiao Yu came to a conclusion.
"Since the term 'alliance' is basically not credible, how true will this information be?"
Xiao Yu had serious suspicions.
"According to convention, to lie and deceive people, there must be truth and falsehood in the message, so that the other party can be afraid and be deceived. So, it seems like the Sweepers and the Spectres are real. I just don't know what these two terms represent. The Sweeper may be the one who detonated the Earth, but what is the Ghost Clan? ”
Faced with the terrible unknown, Xiao Yu was faintly worried in his heart,
Xiao Yu is not ready to accept the principles of the dark universe, and a new crisis has come. This time, it was the 'Sweeper' and the 'Ghost Clan' that Xiao Yu didn't know what he meant for the time being.
"The universe is so big, there are so many things I don't know. Perhaps, with my current level of technology, it is a bit ridiculous to speculate about such existence. Is it possible that what I know is wrong in the first place? After all, the Dark Universe principle has only been verified by the Lizardmen civilization and me, and it is not clear whether it is accurate or not. ”
"That'...... Is it possible that this Guardian Alliance, the message it says is true? Safe Zone? It would be nice if there were really safe zones where I could develop technology with peace of mind. ”
Xiao Yu sighed, and his heart began to shake faintly again.
"Do you want to import this information into the central computer?" Xiao Yu pondered, "This is a gamble, if the bet is right, I will get a rare time to recuperate, and peaceful exchanges with other civilizations will greatly increase the speed of my scientific and technological development, and if I lose the bet, I may be used as nourishment by other civilizations, and I will be brutally slaughtered, and I will be removed from the universe." ”
It's a dilemma.
In the complicated thinking, Xiao Yu gradually made up his mind.
"At least the universe as I see it is dark. So, I have to look at everything with a dark eye. It is always better to rely on others than on yourself. Besides, I wasn't necessarily so unlucky, and it happened to be here that I met the Sweepers and the Ghost. Now there are less than two light years away from Tianyuan IV, less than 600 years of voyage, let's reach Tianyuan IV first! ”
Xiao Yu was ruthless, deleted this piece of information, and then, without the slightest hesitation, accelerated all the way and rushed towards Tianyuan Si.
Although it is said in this message that it contains a method for manufacturing primary over-distance communication instruments, Xiao Yu does not think that he can obtain these technologies in a safe situation.
To get the method of manufacturing an over-distance communication instrument, it is necessary to import this code into a central computer and let it run automatically. However, Xiao Yu couldn't be sure whether this piece of information contained malicious code.
"You can't bring unnecessary danger to yourself because of greed."
Xiao Yu thought.
Four hundred years have passed in a flash, and Xiao Yu is still 0.6 light-years away from Tianyuan Four, about six trillion kilometers.
After leaving the Barren Star, in the long voyage of more than a thousand years, Xiao Yu finally saw the rest of the material except for his own fleet for the first time.
It was a large meteorite about 30 meters in length, with a total mass of about 10,000 tons, and was mainly composed of dry ice and iron.
Here, it is the Oort cloud of Tianyuan Four, which is the boundary of Tianyuan Four Territories. Beyond here, Xiao Yu will truly enter the Tianyuan Four Star System.
Because of its mass and age being smaller than that of the Sun, the Oort cloud material in Celestial Court IV is only 0.6 light-years away from the main star, almost half the distance of the Sun's Oort Cloud.
The brightness of Tianyuan IV increased further, of course, at this distance, her brightness was not fundamentally different from the rest of the stars, it was still just a bright spot, and no details could be seen.
The moment he saw this meteorite, Xiao Yu had a feeling of wanting to cry.
The long journey of more than 5,000 years, the loneliness, loneliness, and taste on the way, Xiao Yu has no way to tell anyone.
Looking at the helplessness of being damaged one by one spaceship and then being abandoned, the moment of life and death at war with the lizardman civilization, facing the fear of the vast universe, at this moment, there was suddenly a gap to vent.
Because...... It is a star that emits light and heat all the time, can bring light and warmth, has a lot of matter, and is no longer as cold as the stars in the universe!
At this moment, Xiao Yu only felt that all his spirits had a feeling of relaxation.
When he set out from Barren Star, Xiao Yu's fleet had 1,243 ships, and when he arrived at Tianyuan 4 Oort Cloud, Xiao Yu's fleet still had 965 ships left. Of these, all the losses were village-level spacecraft. Because a large number of village-level spaceships have been dismantled and used to repair township-level and county-level spaceships.
In the long voyage, those who can't keep up with the large army can only be dismantled.
But all these sacrifices are worth it, Xiao Yu, he is finally about to complete the first interstellar voyage of mankind.
"Here, it will become my paradise, I will be here, to complete the development of basic physical theory, to complete the research and development of energy shields, and to complete the research and development of ultra-distance communication...... I'm going to build a lot of ships, I'm going to get powerful liliang ......"
"Tianyuan Four, I'm here!"
