Chapter 60: The Fox's Tail
In the image, the huge fleet that has lost its kinetic energy is not in the current star system.
The invisible beast that gnawed at the fleet ate half of the fleet and then stopped contentedly, leaving only the remaining intelligent creatures in the fleet at a loss for what to do.
The massive ship seemed to be the flagship of the fleet, and now its main engine seemed to have been affected by an invisible attack and could no longer be activated, and all but those that escaped from the fleet suffered such a dilemma.
In the huge spaceship, only some robots are moving back and forth frequently, hundreds of millions of people are hiding in the cryocompartment, and only a small number of lifeforms rely on the remaining energy devices to maintain the life capsule, relying on remote control to move in the spaceship.
It can be seen that because of the rush of time, the life forms in the entire spaceship were extremely panicked when the freezer was turned on, and some of the freezers were crowded with people, and a large number of people who could not grab a place were frozen to death outside. In some places, the freezer cabin was empty, and many people had already lost their lives on the way here.
The sudden loss of energy supply to a huge spaceship is a catastrophe for the life forms in it, affecting the feedback data, at least tens of millions of people have died in this sudden interruption of energy supply.
They have become accustomed to the environment of the spaceship, and may have lived in it for hundreds of years, and no one thought that the technology they trusted would collapse directly, so they didn't even have time to change into spacesuits and died directly on the way to survive.
That is, scientists who are extremely valuable to civilization, and people who have mastered the ability to allocate resources are given special treatment. In the research room where they are located, there are all kinds of emergency preparedness.
Their chances of survival are higher than the others, and they react faster than others and begin to deal with the situation of the current ship.
Soon Lu Yu saw it, and the image changed.
In the spaceship, the light emitted by the virtual sun suspended in the sky was a dull white, because the temperature was too low to affect the internal components.
The living modules in the spaceship are full of miserable white colors. The ground is covered with a thick layer of snow and ice, which is not entirely made up of water, but also all kinds of other gases that have been frozen into solids or liquids, such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.
The rest of the space has almost become a vacuum, especially the industrial base on which civilization depends, which has basically become abandoned.
Because the energy supply is still insufficient, the once prosperous area of the living area is buried by snowflakes, some building materials that cannot withstand the low temperature are frozen into powder, there are collapsed equipment everywhere, and the spaceship is full of dilapidated atmosphere.
"Compared to the heyday, the fleet has disappeared by one percent, and that terrible unknown civilization can directly destroy us all, but it uses this method of destroying us little by little, and the method of our fear ......."
"The 51423rd engine ignition failed, and now we still can't find the cause of the failure, obviously all the faults have been investigated, and the system is showing normal, but just like an unknown technology has locked the spaceship's engine, we can't restore the spacecraft's energy supply at all."
Most of the population is still in cryo-dormancy, and only a small fraction of the recovered energy can regain consciousness, and they can only control the robot remotely in the nutrition chamber in an effort to restore the environment in the spaceship.
But apparently, the results are not significant.
And as time went on, when all the plans were exhausted, serious disagreements broke out.
"The Academy of Physical Sciences is the cornerstone of all disciplines, and if physics cannot progress, all other disciplines will be in the air. We have obviously been manipulated by unknown civilizations in basic disciplines, and we can't even use spaceship engines, which is why we have fallen to the point where we are now. ”
This is the head of the basic physics discipline, and he clearly wants to get civilization to devote its last strength to the realm in which he believes in order to find a way to break the deadlock.
"It's obviously a kind of blockade, and there is no problem with the engine in the three-dimensional world at all, it must be in a higher dimension, or it is locked with technology that we can't understand."
"With the current technology of our civilization, there is no way to crack it, don't think about how to save the engine, how to escape from this star field as soon as possible!"
This is the person in charge of the management of civilization, and his opinion is to flee as soon as possible, otherwise the entire fleet will perish here.
The differences between the two sides were quickly reconciled, as the vanishing fleet from outside put unimaginable pressure on the civilization.
But in the end, no matter how hard these intelligent races worked, no matter how much they struggled, they still couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed.
At the end of the image, white light flashed over the massive spaceship, and the life forms inside disappeared into the universe.
The spacecraft, which had been immobilized by an invisible force, regained its motion and was slowly attracted to the nearby star system and became a satellite of one of the planets.
After watching this video, Lu Yu was even more confused.
Pick a lucky civilization at random to destroy?
Planetary civilization.
Stellar civilization.
River-level civilization.
They are all the targets of this unknown civilization, and they seem to be deliberately trying to [erase], and they will always leave some traces on the universe.
The planetary-level civilization actually released the deep-space satellite, and the hapless stellar civilization left this huge spaceship, and the Ringring civilization left the triangular spaceship.
The accumulation of these clues can eventually reveal the unknown civilization that did all this.
But strangely, the unknown civilization still seems to be intent on indulgence.
Deep space satellite, Lu Yu, who has already seen four-dimensional exploration, does not believe that unknown civilizations have not discovered it at all.
And this abandoned spaceship, the unknown civilization has already cleaned up all the intelligent life forms in it, if you want to destroy it, I am afraid it is easier than humans pinching an ant to death.
But the truth is, these things have survived.
It is even said that there may be a large number of clues in the big universe that Lu Yu and the triangular spacecraft have not found, and these clues are like the business cards left by the unknown civilization to the big universe, so that all the civilizations that have obtained these clues know that there is another such terrible civilization in the starry sky!
"But I still haven't found any key clues, have I?"
Lu Yu had the illusion of looking at the image in vain, could it be that the three-dimensional creatures really couldn't understand the perspective of the creatures of the higher civilizations?
However, Seven, who can still be believed forever, has found clues.
At the end of the video, as the entire massive ship is shrouded in white light, an unidentified object that appears to be covered in mosaics flashes through the fleet, swallowing most of the ships in one go.
This unidentified object......... It is very similar to the image recording in deep space satellites.
After that, these spaceships, which seemed to be absolutely stationary, finally moved again, but due to the gravitational pull in all directions, many spaceships collided directly together, and then scattered in the universe.
Although the actual appearance of the lake cannot be observed, from its method of making the spaceship disappear and this strange way of acting, it is basically determined that it is the unknown civilization.
[Background Story +1%]
In particular, the identification of the system made Lu Yu more convinced.
"This is the tail of a fox caught by an unknown civilization!"
"After all, the universe is so big, I thought it would take hundreds of years to get clues!"
As soon as Lu Yu withdrew from the image, No. 7 connected him with a new image, and Lu Yu saw that the triangular spacecraft had opened the door to the starry sky on this planet with a harsh environment.
However, the starry sky on the other side of the door does not seem to be a star system where an unknown object stays, but a star system that Lu Yu has not recorded.
Beyond the gate of space, there is an orange planet.
"Horn civilization, as our most sincere friend, please come along!"
After the triangular ship sent an invitation to the Silver Star, it rushed through the door of space first.
Lu Yu didn't hesitate, so he followed.
This is a rare civilization observation, as a rare sample of advanced civilization, Lu Yu is very curious about what the triangle spaceship plans to do after discovering the enemy that almost destroyed civilization?
The performance of the two spaceships allowed them to quickly pass through the space gate and reach the orange planet.
"Our civilization technology is locked up by the means used by that unknown civilization."
"So no matter what, we have to find the unknown civilization, whether it is for the future of the Ring civilization, or for the sake of those who have disappeared, we must do this, we must fight against the unknown civilization"
"This battle, we may lose, and then the last ship of the Ring Clan civilization will be destroyed in the great universe."
"This is revenge with no return, and we don't hesitate to affect the horned civilization, so then we can go to that star system to deal with that unknown object ourselves."
"But until then, we have to leave something behind so that the Ring civilization will not be cut off from our hands."
"This will be the new home of the Ring Clan civilization, and the Horn Clan, you are the only civilization in this universe that knows about its existence."
The planet has an atmosphere and a magnetic field, but its atmosphere is too thin, the magnetic field is too weak, and it is a bit far away from the main star, and in such an environment, it is basically impossible to give birth to life. Of course, there are no absolutes, and it is impossible to give birth to the large carbon-based life of the blue star.
From Lu Yu's point of view, this is a dead planet, and the specific environment is probably not much different from Mars in the solar system.
The endless yellow earth resembles a desert above a blue star. Although the atmosphere on this planet is thin, it still has winds, and they are quite strong.
After a little calculation, Seven came to the conclusion that the strongest wind here was enough to blow a stone the size of a sedan into the air.
The geological structure on this planet has stabilized, it has no plate drift, no earthquakes, no volcanoes because its core has cooled down.
Compared to it, the geological movement of the Blue Star is frequent.
After all, in terms of geological chronology, the topography of the Blue Star is changeable, and the plains may turn into high mountains, and the high mountains may become plains. Even the height of the highest peak, the Himalayas, is constantly changing. The combination of geological movements and wind forces creates the varied topography of the Earth.
But on this planet, there is only wind and no geological movement. That is, no new mountains will be formed on it, and the height of the peaks that have already formed will not increase. In such a situation, the peaks on this planet will only have one ending, that is, under the blowing of the wind, after a long period of time of tens of millions of years, they will gradually weathered and disappear from the planet forever.
At present, this process is almost complete. The small mountain bag of several hundred meters presented in front of Lu Yu may have been nearly 10,000 meters high hundreds of millions of years ago, but now, it is only a few hundred meters high.
Aside from these peaks, the geology on this planet is really lackluster. It's too monotonous on it, there is basically nothing else except yellow sand or yellow sand, no canyons, no plateaus, no hills.
Why such a planet was chosen by the triangular spaceship, Lu Yu didn't know, but in his witness, the triangular spacecraft continued to drip the liquid metal downward.
The ability of these liquid metals, Lu Yu had already seen in the creation of the Spatial Gate before.
I saw that before they landed, they had already differentiated into a large number of microrobots, and then spread to a large area with the wind.
They first built the communications equipment, then the smelter, and at the same time as the smelter was built, the construction of large-scale mining equipment began...... The efficiency of these robots is terrifying, and after only half a day, the construction of this base has begun to take shape. This is just a microcosm of how the Trigonal spacecraft developed the planet. In the first batch of constructions, they selected hundreds of such locations to build various bases, and then, as if they were self-breeding, these bases would begin to create the technological devices set up by the Triangular Ship
At that time, after the entire planet has become the base of the Cyclo civilization, these intelligent machines will travel to a gaseous planet in the star system.
Due to the special environment in the interior of gaseous planets, some extremely rare but important materials are produced. These ships are there to mine these things. In addition to the gaseous planet, more than a dozen moons around it are also targeted, and this planetary system will all become mining areas for the Ring Family base.
Under the terrifying productivity of the higher civilizations, the dead silence and silence of this star system will soon be completely shattered. It has maintained its appearance for an unknown number of billions of years, and with the advent of civilization, it began to change dramatically.
This is a civilization base left behind by the remnants of civilization who are determined to take revenge, and they still leave their own things to this universe like the sown stellar civilization before they carry out their death-like revenge.
And in the face of the triangle spaceship, it seems to be a very reasonable suggestion.
"After all, this unknown civilization is very likely to be a ninth-level civilization, and it may still be the peak of the ninth-level civilization that is about to touch the cosmic-level civilization."
"Whether it's for the sake of civilization or for the sake of its own safety, the triangle ship's proposal is very reasonable."
"But, I refuse!"
