Chapter 149: The Battle Between Humanity and the Cleansers (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"In this galaxy, there are also civilizations, and it seems that in this river system, civilization is quite common." Through the porthole, Nan Zhu looked at the spaceships flying back and forth between the planets in the distant galaxy and sighed.
"In a sense, the restriction of the existence of higher civilizations is indeed conducive to the development of lower civilizations." Lin Xu also said with some emotion.
"Indeed, in the past, the Milky Way was also the same, and many low-level civilizations had not yet had time to develop into the nuclear energy era, and they were occupied by high-level civilizations to develop the galaxy, and became the resource galaxy of high-level civilizations, and they were themselves wiped out. The expansion of higher civilizations is, in a sense, like a cancer of the universe. Nan Zhu also sighed.
"The cancer of the universe, if the universe is compared to the human body, then human beings must be regarded as a terrifying disease!" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Of course, human beings are different, human beings have jumped out of the universe, and human beings have been trying to maintain the balance of the universe." Nan Candle immediately retorted.
"Cosmic cancer? If so, is the cleaning of the cleaner removing the cancer cells? Lu Yao thought for a while and said.
"Perhaps, but no one is qualified to define whether others can survive or not. It is wrong for a higher civilization to destroy a lower civilization and occupy a planet of a lower civilization. It is also wrong for the cleansers to cleanse the higher civilizations and restrict the development of all civilizations. Lin Xu replied.
At this time, the Skylark was moving at a thousand times the speed of light, and it had quickly reached the interior of the galaxy.
Obscuring his body with optical camouflage, he blended into the routes between the planets.
In this galaxy, in addition to the original home planet of civilization, there are three other planets that have also been transformed into habitable planets.
There is one more planet than the previous galaxy.
But unlike the previous galaxies, the four habitable planets in this galaxy are united under one regime.
One civilization, one country.
And this country, which has no foreign enemies, is developing with peace of mind within this galaxy.
Peace is being enjoyed by all.
This is the information that Shirahoshi obtains through the electrical signals circulating between the planets.
At the same time, Shirahoshi also learned that the people of these four planets were preparing for a grand celebration.
Celebrate the return of the Son of God once every thousand years.
According to the calculations of this civilization, the time should be in the nearest place.
"The Son of God they are talking about must be the Cleanser! So, like the previous one, this civilization still has memories of ancient times, and there are stone tablets that make contracts? Nan Candle said a little surprised.
"It seems that this is it." Lin Xu nodded, and then instructed Bai Xing, "Look up the myths and legends of this civilization, see if there are any related myths, and find the location of the stone slab of this civilization." ”
So Shirahoshi quickly began to investigate.
With a clear investigation target, with Shirahoshi's ability, it is easy to find the target.
On top of the history of this civilization, there are indeed myths and legends similar to those of the previous civilization.
The legend of intelligent beings signing a contract with the gods, and then gaining the favor of the gods, and dominating the planet along the way.
The slate of the contract is still preserved in the National History Museum of the home planet.
Knowing the location, Lin Xu set off in person.
With Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu, and Lu Yao, they came directly to the capital of the home planet, which houses precious cultural relics and is not open to the public.
Along the way, he easily disarmed all the alarm systems, and without anyone noticing, he entered the interior of the history museum and found the stone slab that was almost the same as the one the previous civilization had seen.
It is said that it is almost exactly the same, because under the erosion of the years, different slate has undergone different weathering, so it looks different.
But according to Shirahoshi's analysis, at least when it was first distributed back then, the two slabs should have been the same.
At the same time, Shirahoshi also copied the data in the slate, and even the data was the same, it was the same warning, and it was not allowed to conduct certain aspects of technical research.
"So, are the cleaners really slabs distributed in bulk? It's like a wholesale vendor? Nan Zhu poked his finger at the slate.
"Wholesal? Why do you say that, it feels like a cleaner is like an unscrupulous businessman? Lu Yao complained.
A few people were still studying the stone slabs here, and suddenly there were bursts of cheers on the street not far from the history museum.
The sound even reached through the thick walls of the National History Museum into the heavily guarded storage room.
"What's wrong?" Nan Candle's finger poking at the slate paused.
"The purge has come." Shirahoshi's voice rang out.
"Take a closer look at what the cleaner really is, and then we'll go say hello in a moment." Lin Xu thought about it, but still decided.
In any case, since the cleanser claimed to be the second son of the human race, it was necessary for Lin Xu, a human being, to meet him.
Only soon Shirahoshi's voice sounded again.
"I'm sorry human Lin Xu, according to the detection of nanobots, the scavenger fleet is suspected to be just an AI fleet that executes fixed programs, and it is an AI fleet that can only execute established programs, has no intelligence, and cannot think." Shirahoshi replied.
"You're saying that there are no intelligent beings in the entire fleet?" Lin Xu was surprised.
"Yes, to use an analogy, the whole fleet is more like a robot vacuum cleaner that performs the cleaning program at a fixed time every day." Shirahoshi replied.
"Perform a procedure every thousand years, no wonder it's called a cleaner." Lin Xu was also a little speechless for a while.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Xu still decided to communicate with the fleet as much as possible.
Because the fleet of purges, most likely, is connected to the real cleaners who developed the program.
It is impossible for the purges to release the fleet, and it will not be left at all.
"Send a signal to the fleet of Cleaners stating who I am, and say I want to see the Cleaners, and if the fleet can communicate with the Cleaners, then tell the Cleaners and let them come to me." Compared to the request for a meeting, Lin Xu said more like an order.
Since you claim to be the second son of the human race, and you have been wearing this name for so long, then Lin Xu doesn't mind recognizing your second son.
However, before the white star could send a signal, suddenly the whole planet shook violently.
The tremors were so strong that it was as if a magnitude 8 earthquake had occurred around the world at the same time.
In the venue of the National History Museum, the chandeliers are constantly shaking, but fortunately the building is strong enough that the stadium does not collapse directly.
But on the whole planet, some buildings that don't meet the standards are unlucky.
Soon the entire planet will be filled with crumbling ruins and wails of people.
"What's going on?" Lin Xu was surprised.
"Lord Lin Xu, the cleaner has done it." Shirahoshi replied.
"Did it? But isn't the civilization of this galaxy not developing curvature engine technology? Lin Xu was puzzled.
It's just that no matter how puzzled, the cleaners finally got their hands dirty.
Lin Xu took Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and Lu Yao and flew directly out of the National History Museum and came to the sky above the capital of the home planet.
At this time, as the tremors on the planet became more and more intense, the buildings that could withstand the magnitude 8 earthquake also collapsed, and the entire capital was simply in ruins.
No, not only the capital, but the entire planet, almost all of them are in ruins.
Birds and beasts are running in all directions, the earth is cracking, mountains and rivers are toppling, and rivers and seas are flowing backwards.
A clear crack appeared on the planet, and gradually began to split in both directions.
"What is this?" Nan Zhu looked at the rift that spread across the planet.
"Space cutting, directly cutting the entire planet in half." Shirahoshi replied.
At the same time, the Skylark showed its form nearby, and at such a time, there was no need for the Skylark to continue to be invisible.
So Lin Xu and the others entered the Skylark, and the Skylark rose directly into the sky and re-arrived in space.
At this time, the fleet of cleaners all over space has already easily swept away the fleets of the current civilization to welcome the fleet of cleaners.
Even a fleet of high civilizations is vulnerable in front of the fleet of cleaners, let alone a fleet of low civilizations.
The high-civilization fleet was able to shoot down a few pieces of armor of the cleanser fleet, and the low-civilization fleet was directly swept away without even resisting.
Then the planets within the galaxy also became targets for the Cleanser fleet.
At the same time, on the nearest satellite base of the parent star, a group of high-ranking members of the current civilization were watching in despair as the home star shattered in half before their eyes.
"Mr. President, the home planet, the home planet is finished!"
"How come, how come, we are obviously a race favored by the gods, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"Mr. President, please calm down, we have been hit by the gods, and we must escape."
"How to escape? How do you say to escape? Even the home planet has been destroyed, and there is no way we can escape. ”
"We have other planets."
"Do you think the Son of God will spare another planet? We're finished, our civilization is finished. ”
"But why, we're so deferential, we don't even study the curvature engine."
"Mr. President, do you remember, some time ago you passed by the high civilization here and traded the curvature engine to us!" The face of the Minister of Defense who spoke turned pale.
"But, isn't that a deal? Didn't we hide it? Mr. President's face was also pale.
He already knew why, and if it was possible, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.
Why can't you help but be curious, thinking that if you just trade one ship, and don't study it yourself, Miko won't care.
After all, my own race is favored by the gods.
However, it was too late.
The home star was only the first target, and when the Skylark lifted off, Lin Xu saw that the second planet had also been directly penetrated by a thick plasma.
A large cavity appeared in the center of the planet, and magma flowed inside.
The planet is obviously dead, and even after the planet collapses and reorganizes due to stress, it will be an unknown amount of time before it becomes fit for life again.
Obviously, the next planet is the third planet.
"Lord Lin Xu, what should we do?" Nan Zhu stood in front of the porthole and looked at the suffering planets outside, turned his head to look at Lin Xu and asked.
"Did the signal send?" Lin Xu asked Bai Xingdao first.
"The signal has been sent." Shirahoshi replied.
"Any reply?" Lin Xu asked again.
"No, the fleet of cleaners is like a black hole, and there will be no response to any signal that enters it." Shirahoshi replied.
"Very good, it seems that the child is disobedient, it is time to spank." Lin Xu nodded and said.
So in the next moment, with the Skylark as the core, a large number of spatial passages opened up within a radius of thousands of miles.
In Lin Xu's personal space, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out, and then the autonomous mechanical aggregates were combined into a temporary battleship.
The size of these makeshift warships can be said to be much smaller than the tens of thousands of meters long hulls of the Cleaner fleet.
Each improvised warship is only a few kilometres long at most.
But they have bravely pounced on the tens of thousands of purge warships scattered throughout the galaxy.
Subsequently, as soon as the two sides played each other, they won and lost each other.
In the midst of the roaring explosion, the tens of thousands of meters long Cleaner battleship, in the confrontation with the kilometer-long temporary warship, did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and was directly blown up by volley.
The countless advanced civilizations in this galaxy, which were not achieved by the entire fleet, were easily achieved by temporary warships.
And in the midst of the bombardment, more and more Cleaner warships were blown up one by one.
Of course, temporary warships are also constantly suffering battle damage.
Seeing all this, the high-level leaders of the native civilization on the satellite base that had lost their home planet widened their eyes.
"That's, what's going on? Where did that fleet come from? ”
"No, I don't know, it seems that it just jumped from space, just like the fleet of the gods just now."
"And where did these ships come from?"
Mr. President's question, no one can answer.
At the same time, the probes hidden on the meteorites in various corners of the galaxy have already been quietly activated.
Scouting what's going on in this system.
At the same time, everything detected will be transmitted to an equally secret communication base station hundreds of light-years away through hyperspace technology.
The base station then transmits the signal 100 light-years away.
It is the hyperspace communication technology used by the Galaxy Alliance.
And now, in this river system, there are also civilizations that have mastered this technology.
In this way, after passing from station to station, the signal was transmitted to a thousand light-years away.
And a thousand light-years away, on a war star in exile within the galaxy, there are chroniclers recording yet another purge of the Cleaners.
As a rule of thumb, it doesn't take long for the cleaner to finish cleaning and move on to the next cleaning location.
In this room, which is responsible for recording the cleaning process of the cleaners, we hope to summarize more patterns of the cleaners' actions and find out the weaknesses of the cleaners.
There are many more staff members on the way.
They are also documenting the cleansers that are taking place in the rest of the river system.
A purge every thousand years, a fleet of purge operators in action, there can be only one.
Rather, there are countless fleets of cleaners operating together.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to complete the cleansing of such a vast river system.
And as they worked hard to record the countless cleansing operations that took place at the same time in the river system.
The recorder who was in charge of recording the cleaning process of the galaxy where Lin Xu was located suddenly made a bang, directly overturned the chair, and sat down on the ground.
At the same time, he had a hellish expression on his face, pointing to the cleaning process that was being displayed in front of him and taking place in the galaxy, and his face was full of incredulous expressions.
"Recorder 189, what's going on?" The director in the distance glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
"The Cleaners, the Cleanser fleet is being annihilated." Recorder 189 gurgled in his throat for a long time before finally roaring.
"The Cleanser fleet is being annihilated?" Someone repeated his words.
Immediately, all the recorders who were recording, you look at me, I look at you, burst into laughter.
"What are you kidding? Did you have a happy fan last night? ”
"I'm hallucinating."
"I'll just say it, such a serious job is not suitable for him, let's let him do something more in line with his identity."
Everyone laughed at it for a while, and there were also those who fell into the well.
The director walked over with a frown.
"No. 189, you have to understand what you say again, every word you say now must be recorded." The Director's words were already clearly chilling.
"I, I'm not lying, really, it's true, you can see for yourself, it's really being annihilated! The Cleaners, the Cleansers fleet is on the verge of annihilation. Seeing that no one was believing him, and even wondering if he was wrong, Recorder 189 took another look before arguing.
The supervisor who came to the front was too lazy to listen to his defense, and as soon as he picked him up, he was about to be thrown out of the countermeasures research room.
This is above the entire battle star, and it can be regarded as one of the core departments, and all the elites who can come here are all kinds of elites, how can such a madman continue to stay here.
The fleet of cleaners is being annihilated? Why didn't he say that the universe was destroying and that we were going to be wiped out in the next second?
It's just that before throwing No. 189 out, the director still subconsciously glanced at the record information in front of No. 189.
Then, rubbing his eyes carefully, he looked at it again.
Then he grabbed No. 189's hand and let go.
With a bang, 189 sat back in his seat.
The director held the recording screen in front of No. 189 with both hands, and yelled himself.
"The Cleaners, the Cleaners are being annihilated."
Suddenly, just now you are looking at me, I am looking at your many recorders, again you look at me, I look at you.
The implication of each other is obvious.
This time the director is hallucinating, too? What to do? Do you want to continue to laugh at yourself?
It wasn't until the reporters were all carried to the screen of 189 by the supervisor that everyone confirmed that it was really the cleaners who were being annihilated.
So the entire countermeasure laboratory went crazy.
The news of the madness of the countermeasure laboratory was quickly reported to the highest level.
After all, the Countermeasures Research Laboratory is the core department above the Battle Star.
Any latest news can be reported directly to the highest level.
So an emergency meeting was held, and all the high-ranking people above the battle stars were gathered.
Everyone looked at the records transmitted from a thousand light years away, and they all seemed to be stupid.
"Are you sure it's a washer? Isn't it a cleaner? ”
"You wouldn't even recognize the Cleansers' fleet, would you?"
"Of course you can recognize it, but how is this possible? That's the Purge, the second son of mankind! ”
"Yes, the second son of mankind! We've never seen human beings, but we've been living in the shadow of human beings for thousands of years. ”
"Don't think about human beings, one second son will almost wipe out our species! If it were the legendary humans, we would have been dead for a long time! But I think that human beings must be far more brutal and terrifying than human second sons. ”
"Okay, okay, let's stop crooking the building, let's talk about this civilization that suddenly appeared and can fight against the cleaners! What will be their origins? ”
"I think it's supposed to be a civilization from an extragalactic galaxy." Someone speculated.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's not simple, if we have such a powerful civilization in our river system, will we still need to be oppressed for thousands of years? And if you look at the current position of this civilization's fleet, it is at the edge of the river system, and it is very likely that it is from an extrariver galaxy. ”
"What do you think?"
"I think it's the most likely to be from an extragalactic galaxy."
"So, should we touch this civilization?"
"It's definitely going to be contacted, after so many years, we finally have hope of fighting the cleaners, how can we not make contact?"
"How can you be sure of hope? And not a new despair? ”
"Even a new despair is better than sitting in a backwater pool and waiting to die."
"Let's vote on whether or not to make contact with this civilization suspected to be from an extragalactic system."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I abstain."
"I'm against it."
"I agree."
Under the pressure of a large number of temporary warships, a large number of Cleaner warships were constantly destroyed.
Although there are also losses of temporary warships, they can be quickly replenished as much as they lose.
The relative Purge battleship did not add anything.
So soon, there were fewer and fewer Cleaner battleships.
"Shirahoshi, can you catch a few and study them?" Lin Xu asked.
"I'm sorry human Lin Xu, I can't hack into the opponent's control system, and the AI fleet has no option to surrender." Shirahoshi replied.
"Then forget it, destroy them all, and the same goes for researching the wreckage." Lin Xu nodded.
So the fate of the Cleanser fleet was decided.
Until the last Cleanser ship was blown up in the air.
A large number of temporary warships that were still on the front line of the battle instantly disintegrated into an autonomous mechanical aggregate, carrying the wreckage of the Cleaner battleship towards the open entrance to the carry-on space.
Lin Xu planned to move all these wreckage to his personal space for good study.
At the same time, the detector hidden on the meteorites inside the galaxy has also received instructions and sent a signal towards the location of the autonomous mechanical aggregate.
Naturally, the signal was captured by the white star as soon as possible.
