"Rebel Alliance? Are you resisting the purges?" Lin Xu looked at the message Bai Xing had just received with a strange expression on his face.
"Yes, they want to invite us to their headquarters to discuss fighting the Cleaners together." Shirahoshi replied.
"Shall we go to their headquarters? Why don't they come to see us?" Lin Xu asked with a smile.
"The other party said that they saw that we have space jump technology. If we go to see them, it will be faster! If we ask them to come over, they have no objection, but they may need us to wait for a while." Bai Xing relayed the other party's words replied.
"How long will it take for them to arrive?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"Ten years." Shirahoshi replied.
"Ten years? Where are they now?" Lin Xu asked.
"About a thousand light years away." Shirahoshi replied.
"A thousand light years away, ten years, which means their curvature navigation technology can only reach a hundred times the speed of light." Lin Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Human Lin Xu, the other party asked if they need to come to see us." Bai Xing continued to relay.
"Forget it, let's go find them! Let them send the coordinates." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
A thousand light years away, the Skylark can reach it in just a few jumps. There is no need to wait here for ten years.
"Understood, I have replied to the other party, and they welcome our visit."
"Have you found their detector?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"We have found it. There are more than one meteorites hidden inside the galaxy. Do we need to destroy them?" Bai Xing asked.
"No, it's not necessary."
At the same time, after receiving the news that the Skylark will go to the battle star to meet.
The top brass of Battle Star a thousand light years away were also excited.
"The other party agreed to come and meet with us. It's clear that they are a reasonable and civilized person. This is good news."
"But we just exposed the coordinates of the battle star to the other party. Is this really good? What if the other party has malicious intentions." Some people are still worried.
"Yes, the other party is so powerful."
"The opponent is powerful, but our battle star is not made of clay. If we really fight, we might be able to break his teeth."
"Forget it, our battle stars are not capable of destroying the Cleaners' fleet, so just think about some things and don't lie to yourself."
"I don't know if you have noticed, but except for summoning a large group of warships when fighting the Cleaner fleet, the opponent usually only moves in the form of a small spaceship."
"Indeed, I noticed this too! Could it be that they established a base outside the galaxy? That small spaceship was just a reconnaissance ship. After determining the target, they called for the battleship? But why did the battleship immediately come after the battle? The jump has left."
"I don't know. By the way, did the other party say whether they would send a fleet to Battle Star, or just send advance personnel to contact us?"
"The other party didn't explain this. Do you need to ask?"
"Let's do this. In the name of preparing for the reception, ask the other party about the size of the personnel sent, and also ask about the approximate arrival time of the other party."
"clear."
So soon, the senior management who was in the meeting received a reply.
"Only one spaceship?"
"Great, it seems that the other party does have good intentions."
"Not necessarily. Even if there is only one spaceship coming, knowing what is true and false, we can send a fleet at any time." The pessimist always said pessimistically.
"Wait a minute, the arrival time is the time for a standard planet to rotate thirty times. Isn't that coming soon? Are they going so fast?"
"After all, they have the technology to jump in space. Looking at the speed of the Cleaners' jump, you can probably guess their speed."
"It's too fast! Can our rebel alliance really be looked down upon by such a civilization?"
"They are now the only hope against the purges and we have no choice."
Above the battle star, discussions were still taking place about the Skylark's upcoming visit.
The Skylark, which had just finished cleaning the battlefield, received the signal sent by the civilization of this galaxy.
In the name of the president of the native country, he thanked the unknown civilization to which the Skylark belonged for its help, and at the same time invited the Skylark to go to a planet that was still intact for hospitality.
At the same time, on the satellite next to the shattered mother star, a kilometer-long spacecraft rose into the sky.
The spacecraft was originally hidden inside the satellite. Now with the destruction of the mother planet, it will soon affect the satellite.
It was obvious that the satellite could not be saved.
So the spacecraft hidden inside the satellite took off and escaped after seeing that the danger had been eliminated.
And that Mr. President is on this spaceship right now.
He even took the initiative to greet the Skylark.
"What is the shape of this spaceship?" Lin Xu looked at the appearance of the spaceship and was surprised.
"Sir Lin Xu, it has been detected that the curvature engine in the spacecraft is in standby mode." Bai Xing replied.
"They have a curvature engine? It shouldn't be developed by themselves, right?" Lin Xu could roughly tell this just by observing the development level of this civilization.
Because the curvature engine requires a lot of front-end technology, this civilization does not have it at all, or it has never been developed from the beginning.
"Yes, there is a high probability that it can be obtained through trade." Bai Xing replied.
"So, this is the reason why the cleaners took action?" Lin Xu guessed.
"It's most likely so." Bai Xing replied.
"But which advanced civilization did they trade the curvature engine from? Very few advanced civilizations would go to the edge of this river system!" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the rebel alliance that we just contacted?" Lu Yao said from the side.
"Rebel Alliance? Why did they trade the warp engine to this civilization? Or did they rush in just when the purge was about to begin. Wait a minute, you don't mean to say that the Rebel Alliance did it on purpose, right?" Nan Zhu suddenly reacted.
"There are so many coincidences in the world. When there are too many coincidences, it can only be done deliberately." Lu Yao said with a tone of experience.
But it is true that Lu Yao, who grew up in the monk world of Xianyuan Star, has naturally seen a lot of intrigues. Although she disdains it, she has broken through all the intrigues she encountered.
But after seeing it too much, I naturally know the dangers of the human heart.
In comparison, Nanzhu, a little fox who grew up on the Great Wall of the Galaxy, may be strong enough and have a lot of wisdom, but he still doesn't understand enough about the sinister nature of people's hearts.
"Why do they do this? Isn't this harming others but not benefiting oneself?" Nan Zhu said he couldn't understand.
"Maybe they do have their own interests, but we just don't know." Lu Yao replied.
"For example, the detectors they left behind are hidden in various locations in the information. I think these detectors were definitely not used to monitor us at the beginning, right?" Lin Xu also smiled and said.
"They are monitoring this civilization. Do they want to see this civilization destroyed by the purges?" Nan Zhu reacted immediately.
"Or do you want to find out the weaknesses of the Cleaners from their actions? No, no, the weaknesses of the Cleaners cannot be explored by this weak civilization. Maybe they just want to find more, Regarding the action patterns of the Cleaners." Mu Xiyue also speculated.
"Now that I say that, we have to be careful when we go to that rebel alliance this time." Nan Zhu nodded and said.
"You have to be careful, but don't worry too much. After all, conspiracy depends on strength. If they are really strong enough, why would they be hiding in hiding after being chased by the purges." Lin Xu didn't really care.
"Then Mr. Lin Xu, what kind of presidential invitation code do we want to accept?" Nan Zhu looked out the window and saw the spaceship that had been waiting there for a long time.
And the spacecraft is still sending various signals to the Skylark, wanting to invite the Skylark to their planet.
After all, in their eyes, the old gods have fallen, and the new gods are in front of them, so it is natural to have a good relationship.
But Lin Xu had no interest in going to their play house.
"I won't go. I'd also like to remind them not to get too happy too early. What was destroyed was only a small fleet of the Cleaners. There were many such fleets of Cleaners. They escaped this time. But I’m afraid I won’t be so lucky next time, so think of a solution quickly!”
On the spaceship not far away, Mr. President, who received the reply from the Skylark, was immediately dumbfounded.
"Cleaner? Do you mean Son of God? There are many more Sons of God in this fleet? Then, what should we do?"
"Mr. President, if the Son of God is angry because of the warp navigation technology, what if we destroy this spaceship?"
"No, it cannot be destroyed. Destruction does not mean that the last ability to escape is lost." The president immediately retorted.
All the senior officials also remained silent.
It is true that one spaceship is missing, but it is enough to take high-level officials like them and escape. If it is destroyed, if the Shenzi fleet comes again, they will have no way to escape.
In fact, they decided to buy the warp engine at the beginning just so that they and others could have a retreat in case of emergency.
They just didn't expect that their retreat would suddenly wipe out the entire civilization's way of survival.
"By the way, this civilization that saved us, since they have the ability to fight against the Son of God's fleet, if we can keep them here."
"Yes, we must keep them. We will give them whatever they want."
"Money, wealth, anything."
It's a pity that they don't seem to have thought that in the eyes of more advanced civilizations, these things are worthless.
But before they could discuss how to keep the Skylark.
The Skylark accelerated instantly, and the next moment the spacecraft flew out of the galaxy and disappeared into the sea of stars.
The disciples left behind a despairing Mr. President.
The Skylark, on the other hand, stopped after flying a certain distance and giving up any disturbance.
A space jump channel in the front section of the spacecraft slowly opened, and space began to fold in the channel.
Three days later, the space fold arrived a hundred light years away.
The Skylark rushed into the space jump channel and arrived directly a hundred light years away.
Then came successive jumps.
This time Lin Xu and his party did not encounter the Cleaners' fleet on the way.
After all, a river system is vast enough. Even if there are more fleets of Cleaners, it is impossible to spread them to every corner.
We can only clean the entire river system step by step according to certain rules.
The Rebel Alliance took advantage of this rule to bypass the location where the Cleaners were about to clean and hide in areas that the Cleaners had already cleaned.
Although the cleaner will clean it repeatedly, he will not just clean it once.
But as long as you find the right rules, there is always a glimmer of hope.
As for trading the curvature engine to a lower civilization, we can use the lower civilization to delay the actions of the Cleaner fleet, and at the same time predict the action patterns of the Cleaner fleet more accurately.
For the Rebel Alliance, there is no psychological burden at all.
This is just normal operation.
In this universe, weakness is the original sin.
Just like the colonists would not sympathize with the indigenous people.
Perhaps humans are the only race that has risen from the pre-nuclear energy era in a very short period of time, and still retains sympathy for lower civilizations.
After all, many of the people who ascended the dimension of human civilization were the same people when the voyage fleet just set sail from the earth.
Those people of the 23rd century, they sailed all the way, extending their lifespan until they ascended the dimension.
They still have memories of the pre-Earth era, and they also have memories of when they were weak, so they have more sympathy for lower civilizations.
Just like the current Lin Xu, who comes from the 21st century, there is no way he can treat lower civilizations like higher civilizations.
Because the technological level of those lower civilizations is actually not much different from the earth from the 21st to the 23rd century.
When Lin Xu saw them, he would think of the era in which he lived, and it was really impossible for him to be as indifferent to these lower civilizations as higher civilizations.
After ten space jumps and taking a month, the Skylark quickly approached the coordinates given by the Rebel Alliance.
This is a relatively empty area between galaxies. There are no stars around, only empty space.
According to the Rebel Alliance, as long as they reach the coordinates, they can easily find the Rebel Alliance.
Sure enough, as the Skylark left the space jump channel, Bai Xing soon found that about one light-year ahead, there was a battle star that was speeding at a hundred times the speed of light.
"It seems that the battle star is the base of the Rebel Alliance? Or is it the headquarters?" Nan Zhu was lying on the porthole as usual, looking into the distance, although she couldn't see even one light-year away, flying at super-light speed. object.
"There is actually a battle star. No wonder they dare to call themselves the Rebel Alliance. But to build such a battle star, they must have escaped many purges, right?" Lu Yao said uncertainly.
"Maybe it not only escaped the purge, but maybe this battle star existed before the purge began. Otherwise, it would be simply impossible to avoid the purges and build a battle star in just a few thousand years. mission." Lin Xu had a different view.
"Indeed, if you put it this way, these rebel civilizations should be the relics that existed before the purges began." Nan Zhu also nodded.
After all, humans only came to this river system ten thousand years ago.
And since the purifier calls himself the second son of mankind, he must have started the purge after mankind left.
It is basically impossible to hide from XZ and build a battle star within 10,000 years. Then this battle star can only be something from 10,000 years ago.
It is not easy to build a battle star, even with the power of advanced civilization, and it is impossible to build it while evading pursuit.
"Baixing, send a signal and tell them we are coming." Lin Xu ordered.
Immediately, the Skylark headed towards the location of the battle star at a thousand times the speed of light.
Soon, a few hours later, he had caught up with the battle star that was sailing at a hundred times the speed of light.
At this time, on the battle star, after a period of excitement, the welcome ceremony was already prepared.
Even to show solemnity, the entire battle star slowly stopped, waiting for Lin Xu's arrival.
In the battle star's main control room, a group of senior officials were waiting.
High-level officials from various races and civilizations, although on the surface they did not personally greet them, in fact they paid great attention to them.
As for why I didn't greet him in person, it was also because it was just a small spaceship.
In the eyes of these senior officials, this may be just a reconnaissance ship, and the people coming may just be ordinary front-line personnel.
We should pay attention to it, but we can't send ordinary staff to the other side, and all our senior officials will go out to greet us.
Therefore, the landing of the battle star and the grand welcome ceremony are all signs of importance.
But the senior management would not greet him in person, which can be regarded as a kind of reservation.
In this way, under the guidance, the Skylark slowly docked on the surface of the battle star.
This place has already been occupied by welcoming crowds of all races.
Various strange races welcomed Lin Xu's arrival in various ways.
When Lin Xu and others got off the Skylark, they were greeted by specialized diplomats.
Lin Xu looked at the row of receptionists of several races standing in front of him.
And there is no priority among these reception staff.
It was immediately clear that there was no single dominant race or civilization on the Battle Star, and there were many obvious contradictions between various civilizations.
Otherwise, it would be impossible. The reception staff were so chaotic. This was obviously to take into account the interests of various racial civilizations.
In fact, at the beginning, each civilization on the battle star was preparing to select a person mainly responsible for reception.
However, each civilization is unwilling to give up this position to other civilizations, otherwise what if that powerful civilization that can resist the Cleaners thinks that the civilization responsible for receiving them is the main civilization of Battle Star.
Once a certain civilization controls the dialogue channel with a powerful civilization, the consequences will be extremely terrifying.
After all, they are just allies and have no affiliation.
So in the end we had no choice but to send people from every civilization.
Next, it was the usual process of leading Lin Xu around.
Lin Xu followed the locals and took Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and Lu Yao along with the reception staff to have a good time with public funds.
However, while playing on the Battle Star, Lin Xu did not forget to collect various intelligence.
Bai Xing is constantly collecting public information on the Battle Star. At the same time, nanobots are also spread out to collect various non-public information, as well as information on the Internet.
At the same time, Lin Xu also asked for information like the visitors from various civilizations.
Especially the information about the Purges.
The reception staff didn't think much about it. After all, the civilization represented by the person in front of them had just fought against the Cleaners, so it was natural to pay attention to the information related to the Cleaners.
In addition, they have already been authorized, so they have said everything they can.
"Mr. Lin Xu, the civilization you represent has just arrived in our galaxy from the extragalactic galaxy, so we don't know many things. In fact, as early as 10,000 years before you came, there was a civilization that might be as advanced as you. Civilization has been here a long time ago, and that civilization calls itself human civilization."
"Human civilization? Can you introduce it in detail?" Lin Xu perked up. Unexpectedly, before he could ask anything, the other party took the initiative to change the topic to humans. He had to take the opportunity to learn more about it.
"It is said that the human civilization ten thousand years ago was very powerful. They mastered the technology of space jump and even some high-dimensional technologies. The human civilization is also as friendly as the civilization you represent. Not only has it become friends with many civilizations, but it has even We have also taught many civilizations more advanced technologies, such as the hyperspace communication technology used on our battle stars, which was given to us by the original humans." As he spoke, the receptionist looked yearning, as if he was yearning for that Good times in general.
"But I remember that the Cleaner calls himself the second son of mankind? Is there any relationship between this?" Lin Xu asked pretending to be curious.
"Hmph, those purgers who have tarnished the name of humanity are nothing more than shameful traitors." When the receptionist mentioned this, his face was filled with anger.
"Traitor? How do you say this?" Lin Xu asked confused.
"As we just said, human beings are extremely friendly and higher civilizations. They taught us the most advanced technology, and even created those cleansers before leaving. We want those cleansers to help us and assist us. We should better manage this river system. Unfortunately, those cleansers betrayed humanity in the end and raised the butcher knife against us, humanity's former friends. It is really hateful." Another receptionist continued the story, but no What changed was the gnashing of teeth when telling the story.
"So the Cleaners were created by humans? Why would they betray humans?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"Who knows why? Humanity's original intention was to let those cleansers better maintain the tranquility of this river system, but they first started the massacre of civilization. These traitors who betrayed human expectations actually had the nerve to call themselves the second sons of mankind! It’s really ridiculous.” The reception staff said something to each other, criticizing the purges one after another.
Lin Xu nodded slowly, like an outsider who was learning about this for the first time.
