The meeting hall of the "Xinghai Community" was very lively, or it was too lively.

For a variety of reasons, the representatives of these civilizations fought directly in the conference hall, and if everyone had not tried to restrain themselves, it might have turned into a bloody conflict.

“…… Do you protect your X from space whales? Are you saved by the indigenous civilization or have you rebuilt the nature reserve and managed the space wildlife here? ”

“…… Scold! What are your interests? Killing space whales is one of your most important incomes, right? I think you're greedy! ”

It was the initial war of words, with the issue raised by the Tinder Alliance being mocked by another civilization, and then the verbal conflict between the two sides escalated until it turned into a physical altercation.

Someone saw that it was wrong and tried to attract everyone's attention with a new issue, but as a result, the topic he proposed, "Space amoeba protection law", attracted more ridicule.

As a result, more and more people raised more unbelievable issues.

For example, if there is an embargo that would result in more than 90% of civilizations being sanctioned, this 90% even includes the civilization behind the person who raised the issue.

These incomprehensible issues further contributed to the confusion of the meeting, and it was difficult to even continue the discussion.

Normal issues such as "outlawing robotic labor" and "limiting arms expansion" were swept under the rug, leaving the conference hall in chaos.

Even the security personnel responsible for stabilizing the order did not know how to stop the commotion because of the intricacies of civilizational relations.

And Li Wenyuan, who directly invaded the monitoring of the conference venue and saw what was happening inside, didn't know what to say.

Xinghai is united, but it is also divided, and this situation should have been expected for a long time.

Such a scene reminded him of the earth that used to be.

“…… Conflicts can arise within civilizations, let alone a large group of interstellar civilizations with different origins, different cultures, different ideas, and different thinking? ”

He shook his head and decided to temporarily break away from his status as a "witness" to put an end to the farce.

So, all of a sudden, there were a lot of bugs in the conference room, and all the lights flashed dangerously red, as if something bad was going to happen.

This anomaly finally made the delegates in the field calm down for a while, and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

The personnel responsible for maintaining the space station, in particular, are sweating profusely and are doing nothing about the presence that has invaded the area.

Eventually, a holographic projection of a string of red text appeared on the seats in front of all the representatives of civilization.

[Topic: Establishment of Pan-Galaxy Trade Market]

[Proposed Civilization: Guardian]

After that, the red light that had enveloped the meeting room returned to calm, and the device that kept popping up error reports returned to normal, and everything seemed to be an illusion before, except for the holographic projection that was still floating to tell what had just happened.

At this moment, everyone immediately understood that the delegates who had just been fighting each other silently returned to their seats and began the first round of discussion in a real sense.

But there is no need to discuss this matter, because the identity of the person who proposed it is enough to get the topic passed.

In the end, the "establishment of a pan-galaxy trade market" became the first goal of the "Xinghai Community" with a 100% pass rate.

After that, the issues were put forward in turn, and after some "harmonious discussions", a decision was made on whether to approve or not.

The "guardian" never appeared again after raising an issue, but all the representatives of civilization present felt a sense of shame.

They felt that they were so unorthodox that they fought directly in the venue, and in the end they even needed a "guardian" to come forward.

How would their actions make the guardian who protected the galaxy perceive them? Do you think they're a bunch of rice buckets?

All in all, the first galactic meeting ended in a peaceful exchange.

As for the issue proposed by the Tinder Alliance, the development of a space whale protection law, it was retained to the next meeting with 35% in favor, 35% against, and 30% abstention.

Although they were reluctant, they also knew that this was not a problem that could be solved in a short period of time, so they had to continue to do all kinds of propaganda for "protecting space whales", hoping that this issue could be passed at the next meeting.

The worker bees of the Presolin returned to the "hatchery" early while the ships were releasing the flowers, and it felt that its mission had been accomplished.

And Li Wenyuan, who sighed that "the galaxy still needs more growth", pulled the gray wind away from the triad star.

"Alas~ I don't feel interesting......" Gray Wind looked quite bored, It seems that this trip to the "Star Sea Community" did not give her enough fun.

Li Wenyuan felt okay, but the fun in the eyes of the gray wind was not the same as the fun in the eyes of ordinary people.

After thinking for a while, he remembered the anomaly he had found somewhere in the galaxy before, so he jumped over with the gray wind.

"Are there any new adventures here?"

“…… It feels like a new adventure, after all, this galaxy is so special......"

What he jumped to was a special "black hole galaxy".

He hadn't had a chance to come here because of the battle with the Ring, but now he had time.

And when one of his research ships first came to the system, he thought something must have happened here and marked the place.

It is a "black hole galaxy", with a medium-sized black hole in the center replacing ordinary stars as the main source of gravity for this galaxy.

And the most special thing about this place is that all the planets here are "dead planets".

Dead Planet is a special kind of colonized planet in the galaxy, generally speaking, Dead Planet is a "habitable planet" that has lost most of its habitability after a series of events such as war and cataclysm.

Most of the species of civilization cannot survive on it, but there are indeed creatures living on this planet, such as some insects similar to cockroaches, which live very well on this planet.

As a result, this kind of planet is regarded as a "habitable alternative", and when the technological level of the civilization or the environmental adaptability of the species is significantly improved, the dead planet will become a reliable colony.

And this black hole galaxy has more than ten dead planets, not even asteroid belts or gas giants, all of which are such "habitable alternative" stars, which makes Li Wenyuan feel that there is something wrong here.

It's unclear if it's related to humans, but he believes he'll be able to discover the secrets of this place after exploring.

So after arriving here with Grey Wind, he began to scan the dead planets one by one.

The black hole is spinning and time is ticking.

To Li Wenyuan's surprise, he didn't find any anomalies on these dead planets, just like the name of the planet, except for dead silence and dead silence.

“…… Could it be that the secret has been taken away by someone first? Or is it really just a natural ......?"

He was still thinking about the situation in the galaxy, but he didn't notice the strange expression of the gray wind.

From time to time, she began to look at the black hole in the center of the galaxy, as if she had heard something.

However, the equipment on Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft did not detect any signal.

It wasn't until he was about to leave that he saw Grey Wind's expression of wanting to say something.

"What's wrong?" He was a little strange, according to Gray Wind's personality, she shouldn't make such an expression.

Gray Wind thought for a while before he said with some uncertainty: "...... I seem to hear something calling me......"

"What?" Li Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then checked the readings of the equipment on the spacecraft again, and he was very sure that no abnormality was detected.

But Gray Wind pointed at the black hole, as if he didn't know what kind of expression to show now: "...... It seems to have come from a black hole...... I know it's counterintuitive and idealistic, but I feel like it's ......going in that direction."

Her statement made Li Wenyuan gradually frown, he began to look at the black hole cautiously, and then said to Gray Wind:

“…… Don't come along, I'll let the ship go over and take a look. ”

As he spoke, the scientific spacecraft began to accelerate towards the black hole.

The black hole is still spinning, but the matter that it gravitationally pulls in and rubs at high speed emits so many rays that it forms a glowing accretion disk around the black hole.

Look...... Like a "ring"?

At a certain moment, Li Wenyuan thought of the "end of reincarnation" in the virtual realm, but he quickly denied this speculation, and instead increased the scanning of the spacecraft.

It wasn't until it had reached a dangerous distance that the spacecraft finally detected a faint special signal.

This signal is like being trapped around a black hole, and only by being brave enough to get close to this distance can you spot this string of signals.

And Li Wenyuan is also very familiar with this kind of signal, which means that it is related to human beings.

With doubts, he interpreted the signal.

This seems to be an audio clip, and many parts have dissipated over time, but the content of it still surprised Li Wenyuan.

[-{Signal Interrupt}{Signal Interrupt} appears again]

[This time it was me who was named, and we had more than ten warriors who entered here and did not return]

[Everyone was trying to persuade me not to go in, but the last instinct of my life told me that this was a journey I had to go through]

[I am a professor, a person who has studied physics all my life, and now my life is coming to an end, in this black hole]

But it will also be a great discovery, because I see the end of time, and I see the never-ending cycle]

[And everything will be recorded here]

This passage sounded very strange, and Li Wenyuan did not know where to record it in the archives.

However, the database's reaction to this signal made Li Wenyuan's consciousness stagnate.
