Judging from the situation in the star map, the "unexpected enemy" has now occupied four star fields, which are roughly located in several corners of the galactic spiral arm, covering thousands of star systems.

Judging from the identity of the "natural disaster" alone, the expansion speed of the "unexpected enemy" is not very fast, and it is about the middle level of the "galactic crisis" that has occurred in the past, which is a little faster than the "cordyceps" that cannot be jumped.

This seems to be somewhat out of step with its hierarchy.

And after using suicide detection methods and spending a lot of resources, the galactic civilization understood what was going on.

The "Unexpected Enemy" carries out a very thorough "purification", which will meticulously check whether the planets in the galaxy have life and the possibility of giving birth to life, and then destroy the planets by its means.

Most commonly, the surface of the planet is blown to the ground, and even the atmosphere is burned to the ground, and the entire planet will become unhabitable in a few decades.

However, the "unexpected enemy" did not directly use "violent means" to destroy the entire galaxy, which is the most efficient means as imagined by the galactic civilization.

Rather, it is to confirm the condition of the planets in the galaxy little by little, and then carry out targeted "purification".

This has made the galactic civilization gradually understand the state of the "active purification protocol", and it is also the "guardian of the galaxy" in a sense, but it guards the galaxy itself, and the galactic civilization that frantically grabs and uses the galactic resources and throws garbage everywhere is the "pest" in its eyes.

In addition to this purification of the planet, the "unexpected enemy" has also begun a "purge" operation against the galactic civilization.

Although it only seems to be a small area of thousands of star systems from the star map, in fact, its fleet has already come to the borders of various galactic civilizations, destroyed hundreds of space outposts, and continued to march towards the territory of civilization.

Like most crises, the Unexpected Enemy is capable of near-teleportation, and the long distance of the galaxy is only a few sunrises and sunsets.

However, its advance speed is still not so fast, and every time the "unexpected enemy" fleet invades a galaxy, it will stay in the system for a considerable period of time to "purify", which gives the galactic civilization plenty of time to prepare.

On the home planet of the Tinder Alliance, a large number of personnel are coming in and out of what resembles a "government center", and they are all coming with a mission and working day and night at this unusual time.

“…… To sum up, Leader, our 'Disaster Contingency Plan' is going well, the Tinder Fleet has gone into hiding in an unknown galaxy and cut off all contact, and we will not receive any more signals from them for at least two hundred years. ”

“……”

A staff member reported on the progress of the plan, but saw that the leader seemed to be thinking about something, and was not focused on the matter.

Until the end of the report, the leader was also contemplative, and the staff did not say anything to remind him, because he knew what the leader was thinking, and it was best not to interrupt him at this time.

Soon after the "guardian" issued a "restart announcement", the "Awakened Empire" fell silent again.

If it weren't for the fact that the galactic civilizations were able to detect signs of movement in a large number of "Guardian" fleets, they would have thought that the "Guardians" had something wrong again.

However, given the impression that the "guardian" itself is very taciturn, most civilizations do not pay much attention to the "guardian's" words.

After all, the former "guardian" was also like this, from the time he decided to attack and the crisis was resolved, he basically didn't say a word, and quietly eliminated the crisis.

But the Tinder Alliance felt a little strange, and their leader always felt that the "guardians" should not be the only ones who moved.

So they did something that no one had done for almost a long time - to reach out to the "guardian".

When the Guardians first came to prominence in the galaxy, almost all civilizations attempted to communicate with this "lost mechanical intelligence".

The response of the "guardian" is also very intelligent, and the replies received by everyone are a semi-automatic "Q&A window", on which several "frequently asked questions" are directly recorded, such as:

Who are you? (This question has been asked 44159106 times)]

【Guardianship Matrix】

What is your purpose? (This question has been asked 32114514 times)]

[Request denied]

Who is your creator? (This question has been asked 22933089 times)]

[Request denied]

【……】

This semi-automated "Q&A window" records all questions that have been asked more than 10,000 times, but 99% of the responses are "the request has been denied", which makes civilizations that want to know more about the "guardian" feel like they are eating out their doors.

Although some people expect that one day this "Q&A window" will change, after a long wait, people find that this "Q&A window" has not changed except that the number of questions is still increasing, and this "expectation" is gradually forgotten.

For a long time in the past, no one has tried to take the initiative to contact the "guardian", after all, they will memorize the content of those "Q&A windows" with their eyes closed, and the "guardian" will usually be notified by the whole galaxy if there is anything, and it does not matter if the "guardian" is contacted or not.

The Tinder Alliance didn't think of taking the initiative to contact the "guardian" at the beginning, and this "diplomatic means" was almost subconsciously forgotten by them on the "guardian".

It wasn't until someone bored within their civilization accidentally discovered a change in the "guardians" that they regained this "diplomatic tool".

It was a "bored person" who had questioned more than a million times alone, and since he himself worked on the space station, he would question the "question and answer window" of the "guardian" almost every day in his spare time.

According to him, it would be very rewarding for him to watch those numbers keep going up with his efforts.

And it is precisely because of this "unintentional" that the Tinder Alliance discovered the change of the "guardian" one step ahead of other civilizations.

The most notable feature is that the content of the "Q&A window" has changed significantly.

The familiar questions and answers have been replaced with special ones:

[Notice: "Guardianship Matrix" has been restarted, and the goal has been reset - to eliminate the "Purification Terminal"]

[According to calculations, the success rate of the current crisis resolution is: 20.3%]
