Li Dongsheng quickly walked into the underground passage.

YBTL04 uninhabited planet - the scientific researchers at the base more often refer to it as a black hole planet - all the buildings on it are based on the building standards and specifications of the lunar Guanghan base, which is commonly known as the building block model. And the reason why it was able to be built so smoothly was largely due to the use of backup materials from the Guanghan base.

As a result, traces of an external car can still be seen on the wall of the passage connecting the main research building to the underground hangar.

"Did you get the message? Aita has just reported that an unknown handshake has been found in the underground hangar. Li Dongsheng stepped into the elevator and quickly pressed the down button.

Since humans discovered the wormhole in the center of the YBTL04 uninhabited planet, they have not installed it in front of the Kodo people, and have directly built a circle of houses around the underground hangar, not to mention, and repaired the elevator to the interior of the hangar.

"What handshake message?" Ye Ming's slightly surprised voice came from his ears: "When did it happen?" ”

"Just now, the fleet and supply ships of the Krong people have just arrived, and I am receiving your students, and Aita directly reported that the underground hangar has received a communication request from an unknown target, and I am now rushing to the hangar." Li Dongsheng looked at the height, holding the door with one hand, and his brain was also spinning rapidly: "Do you think it will have anything to do with the Kerong people?" ”

"Unlikely." Ye Ming thought for a moment and then said, "The Kerong people said before that their sphere of influence did not extend to this side...... And judging from the wreckage of the battleship left behind in the galaxy with antimatter mines, there are no warships of the Kron, one of which is an executor, and the other belongs to an unknown civilization. ”

"Then ......" Li Dongsheng frowned deeply: "Could it be that the main master is here?" ”

"Possibly, you take a look first, be careful not to answer."

"Okay."

At this time, the elevator door opened, and Li Dongsheng quickly walked into a "tent" composed of polymer films.

It is said to be a tent, but its volume is very huge, basically covering all the equipment of the entire underground hangar, the tent adopts an inflatable design, which can be inflated and expanded, and then personnel can enter it for free activities, and when it is necessary to send a shuttle into the wormhole in the center of the earth, it can be deflated and retracted - this is a design from a country that has a good life, which is very ingenious.

At this time, there were already a dozen people working in tents. In addition to remotely controlling the detectors of the LY galaxy, they are also responsible for the analysis and monitoring of all the equipment in the entire underground hangar.

You know, this is a large underground mechanical facility with a fairly high degree of automation that can be controlled by the "mysterious code" of the Kodo population! Moreover, its design principle is extremely ingenious, and even humans can only access and control it through Wei Bo - this is still deciphered by Academician Ye Ming himself. And even Academician Ye Ming only knows about it, but doesn't know why.

"You've got the message, haven't you?"

As soon as Li Dongsheng walked into the workshop, several scientific researchers quickly walked towards him.

"Yes, we were shocked when we received the signal just now, and we thought it was a self-destruct device that triggered when disassembling a device......"

The scientific researcher who spoke was called Xia Yu, 30 years old, who was out of the station with a doctorate this year, and who was also a graduate student of Academician Huo Liang - from his age, he knew that this person had several brushes.

Xia Yu said as he pointed to the console in front of him: "There was a control board over there, and I was so scared that I quickly installed it back." ”

"And then?" Li Dongsheng knew that there were many things in the control system of this hangar that he still didn't understand, and everything had to be translated by Aita, so he thought about it and asked, "Could it be a prompt message?" ”

"It's certain not, Aita's analysis of the signal is a handshake message requesting exchange, but it is currently impossible to trace the source of the target, only a codename. Look at the screen......" Xia Yu handed the tablet to Li Dongsheng's side.

I saw that on the tablet, Aita had already made a figurative translation - a graphic similar to a four-leaf clover icon was constantly sending out horizontal jumping ripples, indicating that it was making a communication request.

Seeing this scene, Li Dongsheng's eyebrows instantly twisted.

"Senior brother, can you pick it up?" Xia Yu raised his head at Li Dongsheng, with a look of eagerness in his eyes.

"Take a hair, Mr. Ye said ignore it - aren't you worried that the owner of the Tula is here?"

"Then it doesn't matter?"

"Don't worry about it for now, wait for the news from Mr. Ye." Li Dongsheng scooped up a chair and sat down, his eyes fixed on the tablet - he knew that as long as he gave Aita an order, Aita would establish a connection with this unknown signal, and maybe even translate it by the way - Aita could do anything.

But he has already been cleaned up once, but he doesn't dare to be reckless anymore. Besides, this kind of handshake with other civilizations for the first time will not be his turn.

As the minutes ticked by, the four-leaf clover finally stopped beating.

This also confirms that this is indeed not a warning or report signal from the hangar system, but rather a communication request.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the elevator began to go up automatically, and at the same time, Ye Ming's voice also sounded in the workshop.

"The Kerong people have some information about the YBTL04 uninhabited planet and the LY galaxy civilization behind it, I asked them to come over, Team Li, you have a good chat with them, and I'll listen here."

Li Dongsheng was slightly stunned, and then immediately got up and looked at a small speaker in the corner - this is the source of Ye Ming's voice: "Are you sure?" This place is ......."

"I know, but it doesn't matter, you have to have confidence in our scientific methods and systems."

Li Dongsheng was stunned, glanced at everyone and laughed: "Okay...... So what do we say if they ask about the other side? ”

"Just tell the truth."

"Okay—they're coming."

During the conversation, the elevator began to slowly descend, and a moment later, a scientific researcher walked into the tent with Ai Wen, Orlando, and Zhao Donglai.

……

Ai Wen first greeted everyone with grace, and then sat down beside Orlando very ladylikely.

She held back the excitement in her heart and kept looking at her surroundings out of the corner of her eye—the space was too large to accommodate the next spaceship!

Sure enough, this is an underground hangar!

And from the conversation with the teacher just now, she learned that this hangar was not built by humans, but by humans to "archaeology"! Especially when the Orlando teacher mentions...... Once upon a time, an extremely powerful civilization appeared here, and the desire to learn in her heart burned brightly, and it was out of control.

"Mr. Orlando, as you can see. This is just an ancient base that we discovered in passing during our battle with the Executor - for now, we don't know who its owner is. Li Dongsheng quickly sorted out the language according to Ye Ming's prompts, and looked at Orlando with a smile.

Frankly speaking, he really didn't see that this Sven and melancholy Kerong was actually the wise man in charge of the database.

"Well, that's right, Mr. Lee." Orlando silently withdrew his gaze from the cave looming behind the film and the small probe resting there, and after a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "You may already know that we fought a cosmic war against the predecessor of the Executor Legion ten thousand years ago. ”

Li Dongsheng nodded slightly.

"And before that, we used to try to walk the whole universe like humans."

Orlando looked at Li Dongsheng and said lightly: "This Auriya Galaxy, we have naturally been here. ”

"And then?"

"According to the records, our ancestors once encountered a powerful civilization warship in this galaxy......" Orlando frowned slightly: "Although the records do not mention whether there was a conflict, but since then, our ancestors have indeed given up expanding in the direction of the Auriga Galaxy." ”

"And according to your star charts...... There are only the Triangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy and your human galaxy grouped into a group of galaxies—it is clear that your constellation was not enough to give birth to such a powerful civilization 10,000 years ago. ”

Orlando's tone was extremely calm, but in the ears of everyone, there was an indescribable pride.

Li Dongsheng smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the camera.

- Since Ye Ming wants to audit, he must be watching.

Sure enough, soon, Ye Ming's voice sounded.

"Mr. Orlando, in addition to knowing that there is a civilization...... Do you have any more records on that? ”

Orlando turned to look at where the voice came from, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Actually, with this, it can explain a lot of things...... For example, in the constellation Auriga, there must be a hidden wormhole. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain where they came from. ”

Ye Ming didn't think about it for long before laughing: "Yes, that wormhole is under your feet at this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people who had just arrived in the field were instantly stunned!

Captain Zhao Donglai's eyes were full of excitement, and he instantly looked at the floor.

Ai Wen stood up directly, staring at her feet curiously and nervously.

"Ai Wen, don't look at it - this planet is an artificial planet."

"Teacher...... So where does the wormhole lead? ”

"A gateway to an ancient battlefield where one side is the Legion of Executors, and the other is ...... It could be the civilization that your ancestors encountered. ”

With Ye Ming's voice, the workshop fell silent.

All the experts in human science looked to Orlando, a wise man from a civilization that was also 10,000 years old, and who clearly knew more than humans.

In silence, Orlando nodded slowly.

"I believe ......"

"Oh?" Ye Ming asked with interest.

"The Divine Civilization is very powerful...... Powerful to ...... They can destroy all enemies. Orlando was silent, and then exhaled slowly: "Chief Ye......"

"Just call me Professor Ye."

"Well, Professor Ye, you may remember that when we first had a conversation, I didn't have the slightest confidence in you challenging the executor."

"I remember."

"On the one hand, it's because I don't understand the explosive power of human technology, and on the other hand, we know too much about the power of the divine civilization - let me describe it to you like this, the original divine civilization is the human race after a hundred years of development according to the current technology and industry."

As Orlando's words fell, the humans present instantly took a breath......

Then, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

- What are you kidding, now mankind has built industrial bases in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and the Karatu Galaxy. And with the continuous upgrading and progress of human self-replicating super projects, this construction speed will increase exponentially!

Not even a hundred years, according to the current speed of human shipbuilding, as long as the energy can keep up, as long as the human race is given thirty or fifty years, human beings will be able to build tens of thousands of warships!

- With no shortage of raw materials and mature technology, the cost and speed of building a warship will not be more troublesome than building a ship.

And so far, not counting warships, just those commercial freighters, there are as many as 100,000!

100 years of development...... In wartime again, wouldn't that be to build hundreds of thousands of warships?

Why don't you play a space simulation game......

Sure enough, Ye Ming obviously expressed his disbelief.

I only heard him smile and say, "Mr. Orlando, it seems that you still don't have enough understanding of the technological explosive power of human beings...... But that's okay, we'll talk about it when we meet—you move on to the Divine Civilization. ”

Orlando smiled slightly, and did not argue with Ye Ming, but said softly: "As shown in the star map we gave you, the Holy Empire has multiple servant civilizations, and in the continuous wars in the early stage of the Empire, multiple civilizations merged with each other and finally formed a civilization on a cosmic scale - it may be difficult for you to imagine this, but in fact, it is true. ”

That is, it is not a single, isolated civilization. I don't know how to explain it, can you understand? ”

With that, Orlando looked at the camera.

And then...... He saw it, and the humans present looked at him in amazement.

Orlando's heart moved slightly, thinking that humans might not be able to understand this kind of fusion at this scale......

But soon, he saw that there was an indescribable emotion and ...... in everyone's eyes Smile.

This made him frown slightly.

Ye Ming's laughter rang out.

"Hehe, it is that multiple races, different civilizations, and different countries continue to merge in the conquest and among each other, and finally form a huge empire with the divine civilization as the main body...... Isn't that so? For example, don't mind, if we humans wage war against you, defeat you, and then completely merge your technology and culture with that of humanity, and you eventually become new human beings. ”

“…… Yes. ”

"It looks familiar."

Orlando was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Orlando, the history of mankind...... It is a history of conquest and integration. ”

"In the universe, there seems to be nothing new - compared to the vast history of civilization integration of human beings, the integration of civilizations on the scale of the universe is simply pediatric."

With Ye Ming's voice, the humans present also smiled.

Orlando's expression became a little difficult to look at.

"But thanks to you, we can probably know...... How did the so-called Enlightener come about, and I probably know what is going on in your hangar. ”
