Chapter 560: The Empty City
Xiao Yu's current strength is already at a peak, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the strongest under the sixth-level civilization. However, Xiao Yu knew that there was still a certain gap between himself and the sixth-level civilization.
When this gap is bridged, Xiao Yu has truly entered the sixth-level civilization category. And now Xiao Yu already has a way to make up for this gap. That is, continue to acquire the technology of the remaining fifth-level civilizations.
Xiao Yu is now on his way to get the technology. Xiao Yu had already chosen his target, which was a galaxy about three thousand light-years away from the capital galaxy of the Pegasus civilization. There is a fifth-level civilization that is weaker than the Pegasus civilization and regards that star system as its capital galaxy, and occupies a space of about a hundred light-years around it.
"Well, this direction, if you look at it from Earth, is probably the position of the sextant. So, let's call this civilization committee sextant civilization. ”
Xiao Yu is approaching this star system at a speed of forty-seven times the speed of light. This speed is the fastest speed of the planetary battlestar, the Earth. Sailing at this speed, Xiao Yu will probably reach his goal in seventy years.
Some of the most maneuverable small ships had already departed from the large group at fifty-five times the speed of light. These small spaceships will serve as the messengers or vanguards of the Shenzhou civilization, and go to this star system to roughly observe the social structure, strength, and technological level of the Sextant civilization. If possible, these small ships will also make initial contact with the Sextant civilization, laying the foundation for future full-scale contact.
Because of the existence of planetary battle stars, Xiao Yu's huge fleet never stopped along the way. After the materials are consumed, you can directly get replenishment on the planetary battle star, and you don't have to stop halfway to replenish the supplies. In this way, Xiao Yu saved at least thirty years of time.
In the middle of this time. Xiao Yu continued to transform the purple civilization. Under Xiao Yu's education and integration, the newly born generation of purple civilization people have fully accepted their identity as members of the Shenzhou civilization, and under the continuous transformation of life sciences, their mental organ development and physical fitness have also begun to continuously improve. Xiao Yu estimated that by the time he reached the Sextant Civilization Capital Galaxy, the transformation of the purple civilization would be fully completed. This means that Xiao Yu's population base has increased by more than 100 billion, and the production rate of scientists will be further accelerated.
Everything is developing towards the good haode side.
In this case, more than 50 years passed in a flash. Xiao Yu's main fleet is still sailing in curvature. The vanguard had already reached its destination.
This is the shili edge of the Sextant civilization, in order to avoid irritating the Sextant civilization, these vanguard troops did not go too deep into the territory of the Sextant civilization, but appeared on the edge.
These small ships cautiously approached the galaxy on the edge of the Sextant civilization and explored it.
Under a cursory probing. Xiao Yu did not find any traces of intelligent life in this star system. There are two planets in this star system, and they are very valuable for mining. It makes sense of common sense. The Sextant civilization should not leave these two planets here. This is a great waste.
"It shouldn't be like this." Xiao Yu thought secretly. "The distance from here is only about 100 light-years away from the capital galaxy of the Sextant civilization, and even if it travels at 30 times the speed of light, it will only take a little more than three years to reach it, which is quite close. There is no reason why the Sextant civilization would abandon here. Not...... What is it? ”
Under further investigation, Xiao Yu finally found traces of artificial modification on this planet. But unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not find any instruments here.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment. Maneuvered the vanguard to leave the star system and continue to set off forward. Five light-years ahead, there is another galaxy.
But what surprised Xiao Yu was that in this star system, Xiao Yu did not find any technological creations. So Xiao Yu gave up here. Continue towards the planet, the capital planet of the Sextant civilization.
The deeper he went into the Shili range of the Sextant Civilization, the more strange Xiao Yu felt in his heart. Because this place is so quiet, this place is completely like a virgin land that has not undergone artificial transformation, and according to Xiao Yu's inference, a fifth-level civilization, in order to supply all kinds of huge consumption within its own civilization, it is impossible to tolerate so many resources placed here without exploiting them.
The vanguard marched all the way, but never encountered the ships of the Sextant civilization, nor did they encounter the planets where there were creatures.
"Could it be that the information of the Pegasus civilization is fake, and they have deceived me?" Xiao Yu had a little doubt in his heart, but he quickly removed this suspicion. Because after the vanguard advanced for more than thirty light years, Xiao Yu finally made a little discovery.
It was a living planet that had clearly been artificially modified. On this planet, there are a lot of wild animals and plants, and there are many buildings that seem to be the work of intelligent beings, such as the tall buildings, tall factories, and all kinds of debris floating in the synchronous orbit of the planet......
But there are no sapient beings here. The huge city was empty, and there were no sapient beings in the factories that were supposed to be busy working, and even the factories were covered with dust and damaged in many places. Xiao Yu measured it a little, and he knew that no one had been active here for at least three hundred years.
Without the presence of intelligent creatures, these buildings have been transformed into a paradise for all kinds of wildlife.
"It's messy, but there's no sign of vandalism. It seems that there has been no disaster here, and the departure of intelligent beings should be organized and orderly. Then it's very strange, what is the reason for them to abandon this place and leave in a hurry? Where did they go? ”
There are no more instruments on the planet that are still working. After Xiao Yu left some landing robots and a few spaceships here, he manipulated the remaining vanguard spaceships and continued to move forward.
Along the way, Xiao Yu still didn't find any military liliang of the Sextant Constellation civilization, or a technological creation sailing in space. At least ten more industrial planets and one more habitable planet have been discovered. However, these planets are also completely ruined, with no signs of intelligent life.
"What the hell is going on? Where did the people of the Sextant civilization go? Xiao Yu thought a little inexplicably.
Xiao Yu tentatively sent a radio message to the capital galaxy of the Sextant civilization, indicating his intention, but Xiao Yu did not receive a response.
When Xiao Yu finally arrived at the capital galaxy of the Sextant civilization and saw the capital planet of this civilization, Xiao Yu finally determined that the Sextant civilization may really be gone.
The escape of the Sextant Civilization was clearly well prepared. They damaged all the technological facilities that could not be taken away, as well as all kinds of equipment that could store scientific and technological information, and completely turned this place into ruins.
The star of the Sextant civilization capital galaxy is a stable yellow dwarf, with a similar light to the sun, under the illumination of this star, the capital planet of the Sextant civilization is beautiful above the wind and sun, and the blue sky is full of white clouds, because of the loss of the influence of intelligent creatures, wildlife began to reconquer the city, standing here, the eyes are pleasing green, the air also presents a comfortable sense of humidity, the temperature is just right, not high or low, and the slight warm wind blowing on the body will be very comfortable.
The landing robot stood in front of this dilapidated steel jungle, looking at all this in front of him, and then Xiao Yu felt a great sense of absurdity in his heart.
"The Sextant civilization just gave up the place where its civilization originated, gave up the huge territory of nearly a hundred light years, and fled like this? Is it because of my Shenzhou civilization? It's ridiculous, I just wanted to talk to you about technology, and I didn't want to destroy you. ”
"Where did they go?" Xiao Yu thought secretly, and manipulated the vanguard to start exploring within a hundred light-years of the star system. But unfortunately, because so much time has passed, all traces left by curvature sailing have disappeared.
"Really...... Helpless. Xiao Yu muttered to himself, after determining that there were really no intelligent creatures in the Sextant Civilization Station, in desperation, he had no choice but to turn the direction of the advance of the large army and head towards another civilization station about four thousand light years away.
That direction was probably the direction of the ship's base above the earth, so Xiao Yu gave the name of the ship's base civilization to this civilization that had not yet been contacted. Similar to the exploration of the Sextant Civilization Station, Xiao Yu also sent the vanguard in advance to this place to explore first.
But the result disappointed Xiao Yu again. The Shili range of the Shippedia civilization presents the same situation as the Shili range of the Sextant civilization. There are also obvious traces of sapient activity, but all the planets are empty.
Xiao Yu changed direction again, this time to the Gemini Civilization Station, but Xiao Yu was disappointed again, so Xiao Yu went to the Immortal Throne again, and what was presented in front of Xiao Yu was still a ruin.
Xiao Yu explored six civilization stations, but found six ruins. In these places, Xiao Yu did not find any intelligent beings that were still alive, nor did he find any information storage devices that could tell what was going on.
Xiao Yu had a premonition in his heart: "This may be a big action against me......" (to be continued......
