When taking the elevator to the surface from the underground sleeping room, Taiyin reported the latest situation.
"The target asteroid belt is annular and orbits the star. The three largest fragments, each of which is the size of the moon, are gathered in the same area. There are the largest number of fragments around it. It is speculated that this is the location of the original Earth-like planets."
"Near the three largest fragments, the autonomous mechanical aggregates that went out to investigate found traces of alien warships."
"Alien warship? Are the ruins still intact?" The first thing Lin Xu thought of was the ruins of the Norse civilization warship he encountered last time.
"The battleships that are running well are initially judged to belong to the two forces. It seems that the two sides are on guard against each other and are cautiously contacting each other. The autonomous mechanical aggregates are monitoring in the distance. It seems that neither side has discovered the autonomous mechanical aggregates." Taiyin explained.
"Have they not been discovered? What does their technological level look like?" Lin Xu asked with concern.
"A comprehensive evaluation of existing intelligence shows that the other party's technological level is far lower than ours."
"Okay, then continue monitoring." Lin Xu nodded.
"Human Lin Xu, it is necessary to remind you that the earth is about to reach the target galaxy. With the size of the earth, we may be discovered at any time."
"Monitor first and wait until they find out." Lin Xu thought for a while and said.
So the earth continued to sail towards the target galaxy according to the original plan.
As it gets closer to the target galaxy, the speed begins to decrease.
From the original twice the speed of light, it decelerates to one-tenth of the speed of light, then to one hundredth, and then one thousandth.
The earth slowly merges into the planetary system of the target galaxy and quickly approaches the asteroid belt.
At the same time, near the asteroid belt, a temporary caravan composed of ten 10,000-meter warships was cautiously contacting ten warships from the Republic of Mali.
The battleships on both sides are huge motherships.
Although the mothership of the temporary caravan looks very messy, it has everything it needs.
So each side had ten motherships and each released a large number of fighter jets to cover each other's sight and prevent the other side from sneak attacks.
After the alert was completed, the principals of both parties connected to each other's communications.
In the Republic of Mali, there are two Malians who are 80% similar to humans, but have blue skin.
On the temporary caravan side, there are ten captains. There are many differences between these ten people. Some are 70% to 80% similar to people, some are completely different from people, and some even have four lines. The arms, they don't even look like mammals.
But one thing is very consistent. These races with very different appearances all walk upright and free up their hands or four hands for making tools. It can be seen that being able to make tools can be regarded as the first step in the evolution of intelligent creatures. Bar.
"We need to get ten curvature engines before we can hand over the chaos energy to you."
"It's a joke, who knows if you have chaos energy in your hands."
"You can send someone here to confirm for yourself."
"How to confirm? Chaos energy cannot be described or recorded. People who see it will become confused and crazy. Do you have a way to make people stay awake after seeing chaos energy?"
"If we have a way, we don't have to be an interstellar merchant here, and we can directly become a guest of a higher civilization."
"Since there's nothing you can do about it, are you kidding us?"
"This kind of thing that even higher civilizations can't solve, naturally we can't solve it, but we can use another method. You send people to try to use instruments to record the chaotic energy we keep. If after recording, what you see It’s garbled code, doesn’t it prove that it is the real chaotic energy!”
"Who knows if you used information interference."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The transaction between the two parties was full of mutual distrust from the beginning.
So there was a stalemate.
Finally, it is the Republic of Mali. Because they often trade curvature engines with higher civilizations, they know more about higher civilizations and know some methods for higher civilizations to identify chaotic energy.
Although higher civilizations are as powerless as lower civilizations when facing the energy of chaos, they have at least summed up some experience.
One of the important points is that although chaotic energy cannot be described or recorded, it will cause information interference to the observer's spirit, making people crazy.
But it is not so much that the chaotic energy has polluted the observer's spirit, but that the amount of information contained in the chaotic energy is too large, and the observer cannot understand or process this information.
The same is true for instrument records. The information cannot be understood or processed, so only gibberish is generated.
Therefore, if you want to identify whether an item is chaotic energy, compare whether such an item can make people crazy and whether it cannot be recorded by instruments.
It is more useful to observe whether the amount of information in this item is huge enough and beyond comprehension.
Of course, the Republic of Mali will not tell the caravan this method.
After pretending to discuss it, they reluctantly agreed to the caravan's proposal and sent people to use instruments to try to record the chaotic energy in the caravan's hands.
However, after the recording was completed, the Republic of Mali first confirmed that what was recorded by the instrument was indeed garbled code. No matter it was an image or anything else, it would be bursts of garbled code when it was released.
Then he did not try to decipher the garbled code, but observed the garbled code generated internally by the instrument to see if the amount of information exceeded his understanding.
It's as if a person is eating, singing, giving a speech, swearing at others, tasting wine, and brushing his teeth, all at the same second. This is completely impossible.
The final result is that the amount of garbled information indeed exceeds comprehension.
But even so, the Republic of Mali is not sure that this thing is chaos energy.
Because no one among them has ever seen Chaos Energy, it is a legend only circulated among advanced civilizations.
And even among advanced civilizations, one unit of chaotic energy is a treasure enough to trigger a war.
Finally, they decided to take a gamble.
Just like that, the transaction began.
For this transaction, each of the Mali Republic's ten motherships carried a spare warp drive.
The ten motherships first released curvature engines with a diameter of one kilometer from the battleships.
When the temporary caravan saw ten warp engines actually appearing in front of them, the whole place was shocked.
The transaction was carried out with caution and care by both parties.
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded.
There is a planet that is approaching quickly.
Flying planet? Are you joking?
When both sides saw the report, their first thoughts were that it was impossible.
But then, everyone was stunned.
