"There are also civilizations in this galaxy. It seems that in this river system, civilization is quite common." Nanzhu sighed through the porthole, looking at the spacecraft flying between the various planets in the distant galaxy.
"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, the same was true in the past in the Milky Way. Many lower civilizations had not had time to develop into the nuclear energy era, and the galaxies they relied on for development were occupied by higher civilizations. They became the resource galaxies for higher civilizations and were themselves wiped out. The expansion of higher civilizations, In a sense, it is like a cancer in the universe." Nan Zhuye said with emotion.
"Cancer of the universe, if the universe is compared to the human body, then humans must be considered a terrible disease!" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Of course humans are different. Human beings have jumped out of the universe, and humans have been working hard to maintain the balance of the universe." Nan Zhu immediately retorted.
"Cancer of the universe? If this is the case, then the cleaning of the Cleaner is removing cancer cells?" Lu Yao thought for a while and said.
"Maybe, but no one is qualified to define whether others can survive. It is wrong for higher civilizations to eliminate lower civilizations and occupy the planets of lower civilizations. It is also wrong for cleansers to cleanse higher civilizations and restrict the development of all civilizations. " Lin Xu replied.
At this time, the Skylark was advancing at a thousand times the speed of light and had quickly reached the interior of the galaxy.
Covering his figure with optical camouflage, he blended into the routes between planets.
In this galaxy, in addition to the original home planet of civilization, there are three planets that have also been transformed into habitable planets.
There is one more planet than the previous galaxy.
But what is different from the previous galaxies is that the four habitable planets in this galaxy are actually unified under one political power.
The same civilization, the same country.
And this country, which has no external enemies, is developing peacefully within this galaxy.
Everyone is enjoying peace.
This is the information Shirahoshi obtained by deciphering the electrical signals circulating between planets.
At the same time, Bai Xing also learned that the people on these four planets were preparing for a grand celebration.
Celebrating the thousand-year return of the Son of God.
According to the calculations of this civilization, the time should be very recently.
"The Son of God they are talking about must be the Cleaner! So, this civilization, like the previous civilization, still has the memory of ancient times and retains the stone tablets for making the contract?" Nan Zhu said a little surprised.
"It seems that's it." Lin Xu nodded, and then told Bai Xing, "Look up the myths and legends of this civilization to see if there are any related myths, and at the same time find the location of this civilization's stone slab."
So Shirahoshi quickly began investigating.
There was a clear investigation target, and with Bai Xing's ability, he easily found the target.
In the history of this civilization, there are indeed myths and legends similar to the previous civilization.
There is a legend about intelligent beings signing a contract with the gods, then gaining the favor of the gods, and dominating the planet along the way.
The slate of that contract is still preserved in the National History Museum of the home planet.
Knowing the location, Lin Xu set off in person.
Taking Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu, and Lu Yao directly to the capital of their home planet, the National History Museum houses precious cultural relics and is not open to the public.
All the alarm systems were easily disarmed along the way, and without anyone noticing, they entered the history museum and found the stone slab that was almost identical to the one seen by the previous civilization.
It is said that they are almost identical because different stone slabs have experienced different weathering over time, so they appear different.
But according to Bai Xing's analysis, at least when they were first distributed, the two stone slabs should have been the same.
At the same time, Bai Xing also copied the data in the tablet. Even the data was the same, with the same warning that certain aspects of technical research were not allowed.
"So, the cleaners really distribute the slates in batches? Just like wholesale vendors?" Nan Zhu poked at the slates with his finger.
"Wholesale? Why do you think that the cleaner is just like an unscrupulous businessman?" Lu Yao complained.
A few people were still studying the slate here, and suddenly bursts of cheers came from the street not far away from the history museum.
The sound even passed through the thick walls of the National Museum of History and reached the heavily guarded storage room inside.
"What's wrong?" Nanzhu paused while poking his finger at the stone slab.
"The Cleaners have arrived." Bai Xing's voice sounded.
"Let's take a closer look at what the Cleaners are, and then we'll go say hello later." Lin Xu thought for a while and decided.
In any case, since the Cleaner claims to be the second son of mankind, it is necessary for Lin Xu, a human being, to meet him.
But soon Shirahoshi's voice sounded again.
"I'm sorry, human Lin Xu. According to the investigation of nanorobots, the Cleaner fleet is suspected to be an AI fleet that is only executing fixed procedures. It is an AI fleet that can only execute set procedures, has no intelligence, and cannot think." Bai Xing replied.
"You mean, there is no intelligent life in the entire fleet?" Lin Xu said in surprise.
"Yes, to use an analogy, the entire fleet is more like a sweeping robot that performs cleaning procedures at a fixed time every day." Shirahoshi replied.
"The program is executed once every thousand years, no wonder it's called the Cleaner." Lin Xu was a little speechless for a while.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Xu decided to try his best to communicate with the fleet.
Because the Cleaner fleet is likely to be connected to the real Cleaners who formulated the program.
It was impossible for the Cleaners to release the fleet and just ignore it.
"Send a signal to the Purifier fleet, explain my identity, and say that I want to see the Purifiers. If the fleet can communicate with the Purifiers, then tell the Purifiers and let them come to see me." Compared with the meeting request, Lin Xu said more like a command.
Since you call yourself the second son of mankind and have used this title for so long, then Lin Xu doesn't mind and just accepts you as the second son.
However, before Bai Xing could send the signal, the whole planet suddenly shook.
The vibration was so strong, it was as if an eight-magnitude earthquake had occurred around the world at the same time.
In the National Museum of History, the chandelier kept shaking. Fortunately, the building was strong enough, so the venue did not collapse directly.
But on the entire planet, some buildings that don't meet the standards are out of luck.
Soon, the entire planet was filled with the remains of collapsed walls and the sounds of people wailing.
"What's going on?" Lin Xu asked in surprise.
"Lord Lin Xu, the purgers have taken action." Bai Xing replied.
"Are you taking action? But haven't the civilizations in this galaxy not developed curvature engine technology?" Lin Xu asked in confusion.
But no matter how puzzled he was, the cleaners finally took action.
Lin Xu took Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and Lu Yao and flew directly out of the National History Museum and arrived over the capital of their home planet.
At this time, as the shaking on the planet became more and more intense, the buildings that could withstand the eight-magnitude earthquake also collapsed one after another, and the entire capital was simply in ruins.
No, not only the capital, but the entire planet is almost in ruins.
Birds and beasts ran around, the earth cracked, mountains and rivers collapsed, and rivers and seas flowed backwards.
An obvious crack appeared on the planet, and it gradually began to split to both sides.
"Is this?" Nanzhu looked at the cracks all over the planet.
"Space cutting directly cuts the entire planet in half." Bai Xing replied.
At the same time, the Skylark appeared nearby. At this time, there was no need for the Skylark to continue to be invisible.
So Lin Xu and others entered the Skylark, and the Skylark directly took off and arrived in space again.
At this time, the Cleaner fleets spread across space have already easily wiped out the fleets of current civilizations that came to welcome the Cleaner fleets.
Even the fleets of higher civilizations are vulnerable to the Cleaner fleet, let alone the fleets of lower civilizations.
The fleets of higher civilizations were able to take down a few pieces of armor from the Purifier fleets, while the fleets of lower civilizations didn't even resist and were wiped out directly.
Subsequently, various planets in the galaxy also became targets of the Cleaner fleet.
At the same time, on the nearest satellite base of the mother star, a group of senior leaders of the current civilization were desperately watching the mother star break into two halves before their eyes.
"Mr. President, the mother star, the mother star is over!"
"How could it be possible? How could it be possible? 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 attacked by the gods and we must escape."
"How to escape? How do you think we can escape? Even our home planet has been destroyed. There is no way we can escape."
"We have other planets."
"Do you think the Son of God will let other planets go? We are finished, our civilization is finished."
"But why, we are so submissive, we don't even study the curvature engine."
"Mr. President, do you still remember that the advanced civilization that passed here some time ago traded the warp engine to us!" The Minister of Defense who spoke looked pale.
"But, wasn't that the result of a deal? Didn't we hide it?" Mr. President also looked pale.
He already knew the reason, and he really wanted to slap his past self if possible.
Why can't I help but be curious, thinking that if I just trade a ship and it's not my own research, the Son of God won't care.
After all, my race is favored by the gods.
However, it was too late.
The home planet was only the first target. When the Skylark took off, Lin Xu saw that the second planet had also been hit by a thick plasma that directly penetrated the entire planet.
As a huge cavity appeared in the center of the planet, magma flowed inside.
This planet has obviously entered death. Even after the planet collapses and reorganizes due to pressure, it will not be known how long it will take before it can be suitable for life again.
And obviously, the third planet is next.
"Master Lin Xu, what should we do?" Nan Zhu stood in front of the porthole and looked at the suffering planets outside, then turned to look at Lin Xu and asked.
"Has the signal been sent?" Lin Xu asked Bai Xingdao first.
"The signal has been sent," Shirahoshi replied.
"Is there a reply?" Lin Xu asked again.
"No, the Cleaner fleet is like a black hole. Any signal entering it will not be responded to." Shirahoshi replied.
"Very good. It seems that the child is disobedient and should be spanked." Lin Xu nodded and said.
So the next moment, with the Skylark as the core, a large number of space passages opened 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 temporary battleships can be said to be much smaller than that of the Cleaner fleet, which has a moving track tens of thousands of meters long.
Each temporary warship is only a few kilometers long at most.
But they have bravely pounced on the tens of thousands of Cleaner warships spread throughout the galaxy.
Subsequently, as soon as the two sides fought, there was victory or defeat for each other.
Amidst the loud explosion, the tens of thousands of meters long Cleaner warship did not take advantage of the kilometer long temporary warship in the bombardment, and was directly blown up by the volley.
Countless advanced civilizations in this galaxy have achieved achievements that even the entire fleet could not achieve, but were easily achieved by temporary warships.
And during the bombardment, more and more Cleaner warships were blown up one by one.
Of course, temporary battleships also continued to suffer battle losses.
Seeing all this, the senior officials of the local civilization on the satellite base who had lost their home planet, their eyes widened.
"That's, what's going on? Where did that fleet come from?"
"No, I don't know. It seems to have just come from a space jump, just like the Shenzi fleet just now."
"Then where do these warships come from?"
No one can answer Mr. President's question.
At the same time, detectors hidden on meteorites located in every corner of the galaxy have been quietly activated.
Scouting everything that happens in this galaxy.
At the same time, everything detected is transmitted to an equally secretive communication base station hundreds of light years away through hyperspace technology.
This communication base station then continues to transmit the signal a hundred light years away.
It is the hyperspace communication technology once used by the Galaxy Alliance.
And now, in this river system, there are also civilizations that master this technology.
In this way, after being transmitted from station to station, the signal was transmitted to a thousand light-years away.
And a thousand light-years away, on a battle star exiled in the galaxy, there are recorders recording another purge of the Cleaners.
According to past experience, it will basically not take long for the cleaner to complete the cleaning and then move to the next cleaning location.
The Cleaner Countermeasures Research Room is responsible for recording the cleaning process of the Cleaners here, hoping to summarize more rules of the Cleaners' actions and find the weaknesses of the Cleaners.
There are more staff members busy.
They are also recording the purging operations taking place in other locations within the river system.
There cannot be only one Cleaner fleet in action every thousand years.
Instead, there are countless Cleaner fleets operating together.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the cleaning operation of such a vast river system.
And when they, the recorders, worked hard to record the countless cleaning operations that occurred at the same time in the river system.
The recorder responsible for recording the cleaning process of the galaxy where Lin Xu was located suddenly made a clang, overturned his seat and sat down on the ground.
At the same time, with a look of horror on his face, he pointed at the cleaning process taking place in the galaxy that was being displayed in front of him, with an incredible expression on his face.
"Recorder No. 189, what happened?" The supervisor from a distance glared over with some dissatisfaction.
"Purge, the Purifier fleet is being annihilated." Recorder No. 189 gurgled in his throat for a long time, and finally roared out.
"The Cleaner fleet is being annihilated?" Someone repeated his words.
Then all the recordkeepers who were recording looked at me and I looked at you, and the whole room burst into laughter.
"Are you kidding? Did you have too much Happy Pinky last night?"
"I'm all hallucinating."
"Let me just say it. Such a serious job is not suitable for him. Let him do something more in line with his identity."
Some people laughed at him for a while, and some people added insult to injury.
The supervisor came over with a frown on his face.
"No. 189, you have to understand that whatever you say now will be recorded." The supervisor's words were obviously cold.
"I, I'm not lying, it's true, it's true. You can see for yourself, it's really being annihilated! The Cleaners, the Cleaners fleet is almost annihilated." Recorder No. 189 saw that no one believed it. , I even doubted whether I had seen it wrong, so I took another look and started to argue.
The supervisor who came forward was too lazy to listen to his excuse. He picked him up and threw him out of the countermeasures research room.
This place is above the entire battle star, and it can be regarded as one of the core departments. The people who can come here are all kinds of elites. How can such a madman continue to stay here.
The Purge fleet is being annihilated? Why didn't he say that the universe was being destroyed and that we would be annihilated in the next second?
But before throwing No. 189 out, the supervisor subconsciously glanced at the recorded information in front of No. 189.
Then, he rubbed his eyes carefully and looked again.
Then he grabbed No. 189's hand and let go.
With a bang, No. 189 sat back in his seat.
The supervisor, however, held the recording screen in front of No. 189 with both hands and yelled himself.
"The Purges, the Purges are being annihilated."
Suddenly, you were looking at me, and I was looking at your many record-keepers, and you were looking at me again, and I was looking at you.
The mutual meaning is obvious.
Did the supervisor also hallucinate this time? what to do? Do you want to continue to laugh at me?
It wasn't until the recorders were all brought to the screen at No. 189 by the supervisor that everyone confirmed that the purges were really being annihilated.
So the entire countermeasures research room went crazy.
The news that the Countermeasures Research Laboratory went crazy was quickly reported to the highest level.
After all, the Countermeasures Research Laboratory is the core department on the Battle Star.
Any latest news can be reported directly to the top management.
So an emergency meeting was held, and all the top brass on the battle stars were gathered together.
Everyone looked at the recorded data delivered from a thousand light years away, and everyone seemed to be dumbfounded.
"Are you sure it's a purge? Could it be that he's not a purge, right?"
"You can't even recognize the Purge fleet, can you?"
"Of course I can recognize it, but how is this possible? That is the Cleaner, the second son of mankind!"
"Yes, the second son of mankind! We have never seen humans, but we have been living in the shadow of humans for thousands of years. What do you think humans are like?"
"Don't think about human beings. One second son almost made us extinct! If it were the legendary human beings, we would have been wiped out! But I think humans must be far more cruel than human second sons. Horror exists."
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Let's talk about this civilization that suddenly appeared and can fight against the Cleaners! What is their origin?"
"I think this should be a civilization from an extragalactic galaxy." Someone speculated.
"Why do you say that?"
"This is not simple. If our river system had such a powerful civilization, would we still have been oppressed for thousands of years? And look at the current location of this civilization's fleet. It is on the edge of the river system. It is huge. Maybe it’s from an extragalactic galaxy.”
"What do you think?"
"I think it is most likely to come from an extragalactic galaxy."
"Then, do we want to get in touch with this civilization?"
"We must make contact. After so many years, we finally have hope of fighting against the Cleaners. How can we not make contact?"
"How are you sure it's hope? And not new despair?"
"Even new despair is better than sitting in a pool of stagnant water, waiting to die."
"Everyone, please vote whether you want to contact this civilization that is suspected to come from an extragalactic galaxy."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I abstain."
"I object."
"I agree."
Under the pressure of a large number of temporary warships, a large number of Cleaner warships were continuously destroyed.
Although temporary warships also suffer losses, they can be quickly replenished as much as they are lost.
In contrast, the Purifier battleship has no additions.
So soon, there were fewer and fewer Cleaner warships.
"Baixing, can you grab a few ships and study them?" Lin Xu asked.
"I'm sorry human Lin Xu, I can't invade the opponent's control system, and the AI fleet has no option to surrender." Bai Xing replied.
"Then forget it, destroy them all, and study the wreckage as well." Lin Xu nodded.
The fate of the Purifier fleet was thus decided.
Until the last Cleaner warship was blown up in the air.
A large number of temporary battleships that were still on the front line of the battle instantly disintegrated into autonomous mechanical aggregates, carrying the remains of the Cleaner battleships toward the open entrance to the portable space.
Lin Xu planned to move all these wreckage into the portable space and study them carefully.
At the same time, the detectors hidden on the meteorites inside the galaxy have also received instructions and sent signals to the location of the autonomous mechanical aggregate.
The signal was naturally captured by Bai Xing immediately.
PS: Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes.
