Chapter 507: Bridge of Light (20 Monthly Pass Update)
The star in the star system in front of Xiao Yu is a red giant star that has evolved to its old age. It is a bit more massive than the Sun, so after reaching the red giant stage, it expands to an incredible level.
As stars evolve into old age, they gradually expand in size. For example, the sun, after billions of years, will even expand into the Earth's orbit and engulf the entire Earth. The star in front of it is even more exaggerated, its radius has expanded to billions of kilometers at the moment, and if it is placed in the position of the sun in the solar system, it will swallow Jupiter directly. You can imagine how huge it is at the moment.
Right next to such a huge star, there is a poor gaseous planet. The scientific research station discovered by Xiao Yu is on the moon of this gaseous planet. There is a large base-like structure built here, and next to the base, you can also find some researchers wearing special life-support equipment to collect samples in the field. Xiao Yu's message was sent here by broadcasting. Xiao Yu believed that his message would soon be detected by the staff who stayed here, and then reported to the capital system of this civilization layer by layer, and reached the supreme leader of this civilization.
The truth is exactly what Xiao Yu predicted. The signal collection equipment at this base received this message and imported it into the central computer, because Xiao Yu added the dictionary information to this message, and the central computer quickly translated this message.
A staff member who stayed behind saw the information. His expression changed instantly. He knew that this message was beyond his purview, and he knew the importance of this message. So he lightningly picked up the emergency communications device that had been placed next to him. As a result, this message was transmitted to a planet in the home galaxy of the Pegasus civilization 500 light-years away by means of super-distance communication. Then, the message turned over again. Finally, he came to the capital city of the capital planet and was received by the supreme leader of the Pegasus civilization.
All this did not take more than half an hour.
Xiao Yu's fleet was still advancing rapidly. In the curvature navigation, Xiao Yu's fleet was not close to the gravitational influence of the red giant, so Xiao Yu's fleet did not need to break away from the curvature navigation. In just half an hour, Xiao Yu sailed a distance of nearly 20 billion kilometers.
At this time, Xiao Yu received a reply from the Pegasus civilization. In this reply, there is also dictionary information, so Xiao Yu also translated it very easily.
"Guests from afar, we in the Pegasus civilization extend a warm welcome to you. Truly. As you said, there is nothing more important in this vast galaxy than development, but to communicate with each other and trade unique technologies. Undoubtedly one of the fastest growing ones. We in the Pegasus civilization have been waiting for such an opportunity, and we are glad we met you. We, the Pegasus civilization, fully agree with your proposal. Merely. There are a few things we want you to say yes to. You are a wandering civilization though. There is no fixed planetary station, but there is no doubt that your fleet is very strong, even stronger than ours. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we invite you to take up your space in the following fields and send civilian ships to communicate with our civilization in detail. Respectfully to the Pegasus civilization. ”
The star field that the Pegasus civilization is talking about. Xiao Yu checked the star map and knew the location. It was a white subgiant star with about three planets around it. Here, it is still about two hundred light-years away from the galaxy, the capital of the Pegasus civilization.
In the interstellar age. From the perspective of a fifth-level civilization, this place is roughly equivalent to the national border of the Pegasus civilization. Regarding this request made by the Pegasus civilization, Xiao Yu said that it was understandable. In fact, if it were Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu would also make such a request. After all, the two sides are not familiar with each other, and neither knows whether the other party will suddenly make trouble. Before being thoroughly acquainted, it is natural that such a powerful fleet of the other party cannot be allowed to enter its own territory.
After this brief exchange, there was nothing substantive in the conversation. The two sides began to test each other and engage in topics that seemed to have no nutrition.
Such a topic is meaningless, but it is very important. This is a necessary process for two strange civilizations to move from strangeness to familiarity, and it is also a process for both sides to understand each other. In this stage, not only the Pegasus civilization is testing Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu is also testing the Pegasus civilization. No matter how he felt in his heart, anyway, by the time more than ten years had passed, and Xiao Yu's fleet had arrived in the designated star field of the Pegasus civilization, the two civilizations had already become very familiar.
Waiting for Xiao Yu in this white subgiant galaxy was a huge spaceship no less than the size and mass of the spaceship Americas, leading at least half a million warships, lined up at the edge of the galaxy, like ceremonial soldiers lining up to welcome guests.
Xiao Yu knew what it meant for the Pegasus civilization to do this, it was nothing more than to show himself his strength. This is a very normal thing, coming with a battleship does not necessarily mean war.
Xiao Yu's fleet broke away from the curvature voyage and was quietly suspended in space, maintaining a relatively stationary position with the white subgiant. The fleets of the two sides are about 300 million kilometers apart.
A medium-sized city-level spaceship with a red body flew out of the fleet of the Pegasus civilization and began to slowly approach Xiao Yu's fleet. Xiao Yu, who already has a certain understanding of the Pegasus civilization, knows that such a red spaceship is a spaceship specially used to greet VIPs in the Pegasus civilization. This spaceship is of a very high grade, roughly speaking, it is almost equivalent to various famous cars and luxury cars in the Earth era.
Prior to this formal engagement, the civilized ceremonial departments of the two sides had already exchanged views and agreed on some details of the contact. Among Xiao Yu's million spaceships, there is naturally no special etiquette department, so Xiao Yu took on this responsibility. But the Pegasus civilization doesn't know.
Facing this welcoming city-level spaceship, Xiao Yu sent a national-level spaceship to contact. The two sides slowly approached in a conventional sailing manner, and after about an hour, the distance between the two ships had been reduced to less than a hundred kilometers.
At this time, something happened that shocked Xiao Yu quite a bit.
Xiao Yu saw that at the port of this city-level spaceship, the huge hatch slowly opened, and then some instruments at the bottom of the spacecraft began to operate on principles that Xiao Yu was not familiar with for the time being, and with the operation of these instruments, gradually light began to emit out.
These rays don't seem to be the same as normal light. They do not travel directly at the speed of light like normal light, but under the manipulation of some unknown liliang, they begin to advance relatively slowly, like a steel plate that gradually lengthens.
But Xiao Yu knew that this was not a steel plate made of steel, but a "light plate" made of light.
This Pegasus civilization's welcoming city-level spaceship constructed a section of road with light, gradually extending eighty kilometers of kilometers, and stopped there.
It's not difficult to control the ray's progress and reduce its speed. Humans in the age of Earth can do it. The propagation speed of light in a vacuum is a constant, which cannot be changed, and to reduce the speed of light is to use a special medium to let light propagate in this medium. In this particular medium, the speed of light can be even slower than the speed of human walking.
But that's in a special medium. And now, Xiao Yu didn't think that there was anything in this cosmic void that could slow down the speed of light.
"Although I don't know the specific details of this technology, one thing is certain, that is, the Pegasus civilization's research and understanding of optics surpasses mine." Xiao Yu thought silently.
"As a sign of your esteemed guest, ask your negotiator to walk over this bridge of light. Our civilization has sent people to meet it. Just when Xiao Yu was silently observing this so-called bridge of light and speculating on the technology in it, Xiao Yu received such a message.
"Bridge of Light?" Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "It's really an image." ”
Indeed, the name Bridge of Light is really appropriate to call this ribbon of light. A solid ribbon of light streaks across the dark cosmic starry sky, emitting a soft light that is indeed like a bridge.
After receiving that message, Xiao Yu saw another thing that shocked him even more.
Xiao Yu saw that something like an Earth Age car drove out of the harbor of the Yingbin City-level spaceship, and these cars drove quickly along the bridge of light as if they were driving on land.
Light is nothing, but here, light really becomes substance, it is not only built into a bridge, but also on this bridge, it can also carry things.
This scene shocked Xiao Yu.
"What the hell is going on! It's just a matter of light bands, which is understandable, but it's a bit hard to imagine that these car-like things can still drive on them. What kind of technology is this, and what is this principle? weishenme I don't know anything about this technology? ”
"No matter what, this kind of technology, I must get it!" Xiao Yu secretly made up his mind. (To be continued......)
