"Lord Consul, the target has been cleared!"

On the disc-shaped spaceship, after cleaning up the civilized planet, the long creatures turned their heads to look at the archon behind them, and circles of color began to flicker on the surface of their skin, which was their organ of communication.

By transmitting electromagnetic waves of various frequencies to transmit information, it is possible to communicate in real time even in space.

"Very good, if you take this star system, you don't have to worry about the reserve of element seven." The archon's body glowed red, a sign of joy.

Its shape is a spire-shaped isosceles triangle, which looks out of place with the rest of the long crew, exuding an indescribable majesty.

For a civilization that has fully mastered physical and genetic modification techniques and is able to weave body forms as they wish, appearance does not matter.

The reason for the choice to transform into this form is due to the worship of geometric forms, and most of the high-level people in civilization firmly believe that geometric forms represent the truth of the universe to some extent.

However, the transformation of the form also has very strict specifications, and the people at the bottom cannot even adopt a complete geometric shape, and the vertical strip has become the choice of the vast majority of people.

As for triangles, squares, polygons, etc., are characteristic of high citizens......

Above that is the circle, a form that only the elders and the Supreme Rulers can transform.

Generally speaking, the higher the status, the rounder shape!

Because of this, they are also called geometric civilizations!

The importance of element seven is self-evident, if it weren't for the accidental discovery of this strange substance that can affect time and space more than a thousand years ago, thus ushering in a major explosion of scientific research, I am afraid that it is still a fourth-level civilization that has barely stepped into the galaxy level, and it is impossible to survive the last war with silicon-based life forms.

Thinking of this, the light around the Archon's body turned from red to black, an expression of horror and anger.

Those damn silicon-based monsters, coming from the four-cantilevered galaxy next door, are like Li worms (locust-like creatures), endlessly expanding in various galaxies, plundering all resources, transforming into armies and warships, fighting to feed war, and not accepting any negotiations, and now they have become the enemy of geometric civilization.

If there were no Element Seven, the home planet on the border between the two galaxies would have been breached long ago.

"Your Excellency, we just received a message for help!" Beside him, another square lieutenant suddenly summoned the consul's thoughts.

"Can you determine the bearing and distance?" The Archon calmed his fluctuating emotions and hid his thoughts, a little worried about whether it would be the invasion of the home planet......

"The message should be from seventy light-years away, not from the home planet......" A long branch extended from the square lieutenant's body, and with a click in the void, a complex map of the galaxy suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.

It's full of dense dots.

Each star is a star, and the position of each planet is even marked in detail, but there is still nearly half of the area in the fog zone, and only the corresponding stars are marked, as for the specific situation in the galaxy is still a mystery.

These areas are either the jurisdiction of powerful civilizations, or are relatively dangerous or on the edge, and the square crew is pointing at a fringe area.

The Archon's mood fluctuated again, this time reddish with confusion, for no fleet had been sent to that place for record.

"The communication is based on an old encryption method, which, according to the records retrieved, was abandoned thousands of years ago." The adjutant of the square reported.

"Is it the remnants of that expedition?" The Archon reacted immediately.

After completing a new round of technological breakthroughs, the home star directly became one of the most powerful civilizations in the visual star field, and then began to explore the entire galaxy with great ambition, preparing to draw a complete galaxy map.

A total of seventy exploration convoys consisting of one capital ship and two frigates were dispatched.

Although the number was scarce, they were all the most advanced ships of the time.

Unlike some civilizations, which prefer to win by numbers, they prefer to strive for excellence, and according to the elders, there is no point in creating a lot of cannon fodder, just a waste of resources.

As for the daily patrols between the star fields? Retrofitting and retiring old ships, or civilian ships can also be used with a weapon.

However, the results of this exploration were not good, and only half of the seventy exploration fleets returned, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the enterprising faction, and thus provoked a great enemy, dragging the home planet into the quagmire of endless war.

It is precisely because of the continuous wars that they really can't spare too much energy to search for the inexplicable vanished fleets in the entire star field, so they can only silently swallow the bitter fruit and mark these areas as dangerous areas.

The square lieutenant who had retrieved the database could naturally think that the message was probably sent by a certain exploration fleet, and the alternating electromagnetic waves were soon emitted from his body again.

"The communications we received were intermittent, and they seemed to have discovered a new, powerful energy source...... It may be comparable to Element Seven! ”

An energy source comparable to element seven? The Archon immediately became serious, and this could well mean a new technological breakthrough, or even the key to the geometric civilization's victory over those silicon-based monsters!

"I think the technological level of the other civilization should be inferior to ours, although we killed the exploration fleet sent by the mother planet in the past, but did not completely destroy it, otherwise we would not have received this message." The square adjutant proposed.

"No, you missed a very important detail, this news came from thousands of years ago, when the other party had the technology to block communications, and now they let the message pass on, I suspect this may be a trap!" The other lieutenant retorted.

Although the technology of these millennium years ago exploration fleet is relatively imperfect, it is equipped with quantum communication technology, and the delay of communication in this galaxy is about one atomic minute.

There is no reason why it was intercepted at the time, but now it can be arraigned again.

Colorful waves of light flickered inside the spaceship, a sign of the growing intensity of the dispute.

The consuls were also caught in a dilemma.

This can be a rare opportunity, but it can also be a dangerous trap......

In the past thousand years, due to the outbreak of war, the speed of scientific and technological progress of geometric civilization has not been slow, and the spaceship has been updated several times, but in fact, there has been no real technological breakthrough...... It's just a matter of improving on the original and increasing the performance or the power of the weapon.

He had heard that some cutting-edge scholars on the home planet already had some clues about the research of curvature engines, which was the key to the development of faster-than-light spacecraft, but it would take a lot of time before the actual installation.

And because of the war, they don't have many forces to draw up......

But soon they didn't have to think about it, because a communication from the home planet was transmitted.

The content is very simple, you can go to the location where the signal is sent and determine the situation for yourself.

If the civilization that destroys the exploration fleet is relatively weak, destroy it directly, find that special energy and bring it back.

If the level of technology is very high, they try to coexist peacefully, indicating that they sent the exploration fleet before to have friendly exchanges, but there were some misunderstandings in the middle.

For this order, the consul did not hesitate to choose to carry it out, and it is the consistent practice of geometric civilization to evaluate the way of getting along with each other in terms of strength and threat.

There are infinite possibilities in the vast universe, no one knows how many unknown elements and energies there are, it is entirely possible for a weak civilization to surpass a powerful civilization in just a few thousand years,

For example, the civilization they destroyed before, although it could not threaten the home planet at all, found a large number of reserves of element seven in the star system, which means that the other party may break out a round of technological innovation at any time.

It would be foolish to pin your hopes on the goodness of your enemies, and there are no more powerful galactic civilizations in this area, so it is better to settle it now than to have a dispute erupt in a thousand years.

"Where are our closest coordinates to this star system?" The archon's body was covered with a white light, a grim expression.

"In the vicinity of the Sihar Nebula, about two hundred and forty atomic hours (eight light-years) away from the target star system, and within fifty atomic hours of us, there are two other fleets, and we may be able to apply for support!" The adjutant replied.

The Archon nodded, and after issuing the order for help, he maneuvered the ship to hover above the crimson, dazzling star.

Immediately after, the bottom layer of the spaceship suddenly spread, four wide cantilevers stretched out from the inside, and the space began to distort and deform......

Under the strong gravitational force, the energy on the surface of the star is rapidly being extracted, forming a huge plasma flame vortex, and a steady stream of fusion energy frantically pours into the spacecraft.

Although the war just now was a crushing situation to solve the battle, the energy consumption was not a small amount, but fortunately, they were in a star system and could replenish their energy in time......

The Archon waited quietly for the pool to fill up before slowly picking out a knuckle-sized ball and placing it in the launchport.

This time, the launch speed was very 'slow', not even one-tenth of the speed of light, and after a flight of one atom, the ball began to collapse violently inward, and the surrounding space curled and spread inward, and a temporary wormhole was soon formed.

The geometry inside the spaceship went into hibernation, and the three ships sped out at sub-light speeds, rushing into the surging space-time nodes.
