In the silent space of the universe, the broken remains of the battle star are still floating in the empty universe.
The autonomous mechanical aggregate shuttled through it, cleaning the battlefield, and at the same time collecting some information from some of the databases that were still intact.
Not far away in front of the earth, the space jump channel has been opened, and space is constantly folding in the channel, compressing the distance between spaces.
Until the space is folded enough for a hundred-light-year jump, the Earth begins to move toward the jump channel.
At the same time, as the earth began to move, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates quickly returned to the earth as if they had received instructions.
Carrying all the information collected, he returned to the earth.
The next moment, the earth entered the space jump channel, and then the jump channel closed.
The earth has already arrived a hundred light years away.
On Earth, Lin Xu has obtained the coordinates of the Cleaners' base camp calculated by the Rebel Alliance through thousands of years of calculations.
The goal this time is to go to the planned Cleaner base camp.
According to calculations, it can be known that the base camp of the Cleaners is near the center of the river system and is 10,000 light-years away from the current position of the earth.
That is an area of about a hundred light years, if the Rebel Alliance's calculations are correct.
The base camp of the Cleaners is within this area of about a hundred light years, or maybe this area of a hundred light years is the headquarters of the Cleaners.
"Let's go and see what the Cleaners' base camp looks like." Lin Xu put down the information in his hands, lay on the beach, and looked up at the sky.
The light of the artificial sun in the sky swayed down and fell on Lin Xu.
Beside him, Nan Zhu was applying sunscreen on his body exposed to the sun.
"Why are you applying this stuff? It's useless?" Lin Xu came to his senses and noticed what Nan Zhu was doing.
"Well, the atmosphere, since we are at the beach, of course we have to enjoy the atmosphere." Nan Zhu said, helping Lin Xu apply sunscreen in one breath, and then handed the sunscreen in his hand to Lin Xu.
"Okay, now it's time for Mr. Lin Xu to help me apply it."
"You're right, the atmosphere is indeed very important." Lin Xu thought for a while, took the sunscreen and said.
"So Master Lin Xu, please be careful and apply it to every corner." Nan Zhu nodded in agreement and said at the same time.
Not far away, Lu Yao, who had just caught several big crabs from the deep sea, was quite emotional.
Sure enough, a vixen is a vixen.
The distance of 10,000 light-years can be reached in ten months on Earth today.
So when the time came to 11495 in the voyage calendar, the earth had successfully made its last space jump of hundreds of light years and arrived near the target location.
The released autonomous mechanical aggregate has already explored the front.
At the same time, the hyperspace radar and quantum radar are also operating at full power.
There's no need to even wait to see the results, though.
Just by looking at the star field from a distance, everyone on the earth had already noticed something was wrong.
A faint black enveloped the star field.
It is still a darker darkness than the darkness of the universe itself.
If you were in that star field, you probably wouldn't be aware of the darkness around you, which is darker than the normal space in the universe.
But civilizations that are outside that star field and have the ability to fully observe this star field can easily be seen.
A faint darkness enveloped the star field.
Even the light of the stars seemed to be plated with a black edge.
"What is this?" Nan Zhu lay on the Qingfeng's porthole, trying hard to open his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
"Why does this feel like disorder and filth? But it doesn't look like it." Lin Xu hesitated.
"It is indeed disordered filth. No, it is better to say it is inert filth." Lu Yao, who was already eroded by disordered filth, saw it more clearly.
Although she has been studying hard for so long and has not yet been able to eliminate the disordered filth she has contaminated, she is indeed becoming more and more professional in distinguishing disordered filth.
"Inert and filthy? That makes sense, but why is it so thin?" Lin Xu nodded and shook his head.
Even if it is inert and filthy, it is not so thin.
You must know that the disordered filth in the center of the galaxy, under Lin Xu's high-dimensional interference, has turned into inert filth that has lost the ability to assimilate order, but it is still as strong as the substance.
"The autonomous mechanical polymer has collected samples and is ready for testing." At this time, Yinghuo on duty suddenly reported.
"The test result is indeed inert filth. The analysis can conclude that after disordered filth degenerated into inert filth, it lost the ability to assimilate order and multiply itself. Only a constant total amount of inert filth was left, and inert filth continued to spread naturally. Without increasing itself, it becomes thinner and thinner." Yinghuo quickly came to a conclusion and continued reporting.
"So, this area slowly became like this due to the spread of inert filth over many years." Lin Xu nodded, expressing understanding.
"But isn't this the base camp of the Cleaners? Did the Cleaners become what they are now under the influence of inert filth, regularly cleaning the river system?" Nanzhu guessed.
"But didn't the people from the Rebel Alliance say that it was their betrayal that caused the Purges to lose control?" Mu Xiyue asked confused.
"There is no conflict. Maybe the inert filth here is related to the ancestors of the Rebel Alliance. It's just that I didn't detect the smell of inert filth on the battleships of the Cleaner fleet." Lin Xu recalled what he had seen. Said the Purge Fleet.
"Indeed, there is no inert and dirty atmosphere in the Cleaner fleet." Lu Yao also said.
"Then what's going on? Could it be that the Resistance Alliance's calculations were wrong?" Nan Zhu asked doubtfully.
"Their calculations should not be wrong. If they are really wrong, the calculated location cannot be in this star field wrapped in inert filth." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
While everyone was still discussing, Yinghuo suddenly reported new news.
"The hyperspace radar is ten light years away on the left front, in the inert and filthy edge area, and has discovered the Cleaner fleet and is exchanging fire with the Cleaner fleet."
"What? The Cleaner fleet is exchanging fire with the Cleaner fleet?" Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment, and even doubted for a moment whether Yinghuo, the artificial intelligence that could not make mistakes, really made a mistake.
"Yes, both sides are Cleaner fleets and are engaged in a firefight." Yinghuo replied.
So for a while, several people looked at each other, and finally everyone turned their attention to Lin Xu, waiting for his decision.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Xu ordered.
As a result, the space jump channel was opened again in front of the earth, and the space folding in the jump channel began.
About seven or eight hours later, the space in the jump channel was folded and spanned a distance of ten light years.
Immediately, the earth rushed into the space jump channel.
Let's go and see the scene that everyone is curious about, the internal strife in the Cleaner fleet.
In the blink of an eye, the earth spanned a distance of ten light years.
When he reappeared, he had arrived at the edge of inert filth, and at the same time he saw the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.
It was already the final stage of this war, and all across the universe were fragments of various Cleaner fleets.
In the past, countless ordinary races had to work hard to knock down a piece of the armor of the Purifier warship.
It is spread throughout the entire universe, everywhere.
The remaining Cleaner warships were still firing at each other.
Even the appearance of the earth did not stop the two sides from fighting.
Both sides continued to fight as if the earth did not exist.
However, both sides of the battle separated half of their fleets and rushed towards the earth.
They seem to be fighting each other while also continuing to fight the Earth.
"What's the logic of this? It's clear that you can't protect yourself, but you still have to divide your troops to attack us?" Nan Zhu asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's because we have curvature navigation technology, which triggers the cleaning standard." Lu Yao guessed.
"So while beating each other, they also have to clean us up? But why are they beating each other? And what should we do? Fight back?" Nan Zhu didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to look at Lin Xu.
"We must retaliate. These Cleaner warships are just rigidly executing the established procedures. Even if we want to say something, they will not listen. Therefore, before we find the general procedure for controlling the Cleaner fleet, , don’t expect to get along well with each other." Lin Xu ordered.
As a result, on the earth, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates rushed out of the earth, combined into temporary battleships in mid-air, and pounced on the Cleaner battleships from both sides.
Soon, in the cosmic space, huge Cleaner battleships tens of thousands of meters in size were shattered under the impact of the relatively smaller temporary battleships of more than 1,000 meters.
If the civilizations that had been ravaged by the purges in this river system saw this scene, they would definitely be filled with disbelief.
But Lin Xu didn't pay attention to this at all. His eyes were always on the two Cleaner fleets that were still bombarding each other in the distance.
"Inert and filthy." Lin Xu muttered to himself.
"One of the parties was affected by inert filth. Is this the reason why the two parties fought?" Lu Yao was also observing.
"Is it because the Cleaner fleet entered this star field, so some battleships were affected by inert filth?" Mu Xiyue asked confused.
"No, that shouldn't be the case. It's more like the Cleaner warships have been preventing warships affected by inert filth from leaving this star field." Lin Xu shook his head and expressed his thoughts.
"What do you mean?" Mu Xiyue was a little confused.
"Do you still remember the calculations of the Rebel Alliance? This is very likely to be the base camp of the Cleaners. If this is the case, there must have been a large number of Cleaner warships that have been affected by the inert filth." Lin Xu guessed.
"So, the normal Cleaner warships are preventing the Cleaner warships affected by inert filth from leaving this star field?" Mu Xiyue suddenly realized.
"But normal Cleaner warships are cleaning all civilizations with curvature navigation technology in the entire river system! Is there any difference between this and abnormality?" Nanzhu complained.
"There must be a difference. The Cleaner fleet affected by the inert filth will inevitably become even crazier. Maybe even civilizations without curvature navigation technology will be cleaned out together. It may even directly destroy the entire river system." Lin Xu guessed.
Lin Xu didn't know what the Cleaner fleet would do after being affected by the inert filth, but it was definitely something far crazier than it was now.
"So, while the Cleaner Fleet is cleaning civilization, it is also saving civilization at the same time?" Nan Zhu said a little weirdly.
"Perhaps, the Cleaner fleet is using the method they think is correct to save civilization." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"This." Nan Zhu was speechless for a moment.
Soon, the battle in the starry sky was coming to an end.
Whether it was the two Cleaner fleets attacking the earth or the Cleaner fleets bombarding each other in the distance, there was only a piece of wreckage left.
There is no longer a Cleaner fleet in the starry sky.
But then, space jump channels opened everywhere in the starry sky, and a large number of Cleaner fleets were rushing to the battlefield.
"These things, the normal Cleaner fleet that is not affected by inert filth?" Lu Yao quickly figured out which side the fleet that had partially rushed out of the jump channel and was heading towards the earth belonged to.
"It seems that they are coming for us this time, and they are bound to kill us." Lin Xu sighed as he looked at more and more Cleaner warships in the starry sky.
"Why are there so many? This is more than a hundred times more than the Cleaner fleet we killed last time." Nan Zhu's eyes widened as he looked at the overwhelming number of warships all over the sky.
"It's not surprising. This is the base camp of the Cleaners. It's normal for there to be more battleships." Lin Xudao didn't think there was any surprise.
"Master Lin Xu, do you want to continue fighting?" Nan Zhu asked.
"Forget it, this is the base camp of the Cleaners. If we continue fighting like this, there will be no end. And we are not here to fight." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"But we are already surrounded, can we still run away?" Nan Zhu said, looking around.
"Isn't there still a gap?" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Gap? Ah, there are so few warships surrounding the inert and filthy area! What's going on?" Nan Zhu asked puzzled.
"I guess it's their program that doesn't allow them to enter the inert and dirty area." Lin Xu guessed.
"I understand. The main control program is afraid that the Cleaner warships will be contaminated if they enter the inert and filthy area, just like those already contaminated Cleaner warships." Nan Zhu reacted immediately.
"Just in time, we need to investigate what is going on in this area, just rush in." Lin Xu ordered.
So the next moment, the curvature engine on the earth was running at full strength, rushing towards the inert and filthy area not far away at a thousand times the speed of light.
Along the way, Cleaner warships were intercepted from time to time. Unfortunately, under the escort of temporary warships, the Cleaner warships were powerless and could only be blown up one by one.
Finally, the earth easily broke through the encirclement and entered the inert and filthy area.
As the earth entered the inert and filthy area, the Purifier warships pursuing from behind stopped pursuing one after another.
At the same time, the space jump channel in the distance is still opening, and a large number of Cleaner warships are still arriving in a steady stream.
Soon there were tens of millions of Cleaner warships, covering the entire star field, densely packed.
Lin Xu felt a little emotional when he saw this. This was like poking a hornet's nest.
Even if you are not afraid, fighting is still troublesome.
However, these Cleaner warships all stopped at the edge of the inert and filthy area.
Just watching the earth drift away.
Finally, the Cleaner warships opened the space channel again and left one by one.
"So many, how long will it take to fight? Fortunately, he ran away." Nan Zhu said, patting the murder weapon with some fear.
"Strange, I thought that after entering this inert and filthy area, the Cleaner warships in this area that were affected by the inert filth would also come out to hunt us down." Lu Yao said in confusion.
"Unless the number of Cleaner warships in this area is actually limited." Lin Xu thought for a while and said.
"This area is only a hundred light years in scope. For a Cleaner warship that can make space jumps, this distance can be reached by just one space jump. Unless the Cleaner warships affected just now are already in this area, The last contaminated cleanser warship." Lu Yao further thought.
"Finally, did we come by such a coincidence? We happened to witness the destruction of the last battleship?" Lin Xu didn't believe it.
"Since it is the base camp of the Cleaners, or at least it used to be a base camp, there should be a warship manufacturing factory, right? Could it be that the contaminated warships that were just wiped out were just produced? And now in the factories in this area, they are still going on. Producing contaminated warships?" Lu Yao guessed after thinking about it.
"Every time a new warship is produced, it wants to leave this area and then be blown up by the Cleaner fleet guarding the edge. This makes sense." Lin Xu nodded and said.
"So if we can find the Cleaner warship manufacturing factory here, even if it is contaminated, we should be able to know a lot of information about ten thousand years ago, right? Maybe we can know what happened ten thousand years ago, and what happened to human beings Maybe we can find the location of the ruins left in this river system." Nan Zhu suddenly realized.
"Yes, but looking at the number of contaminated Cleaner battleships that were destroyed, the scale of the factory may not be large. The inert pollution spreads extremely slowly. The Cleaners may have moved the factory before it spread to the factory area. Only A small factory is left behind. Fortunately, the area of a hundred light years is not particularly large. You can always find it if you search carefully." Lin Xu said, thinking about various possibilities.
In this way, the earth quickly sailed through this star field shrouded in inert filth at a thousand times the speed of light.
Because of the special nature of the earth as the home planet of mankind, inert pollution has not invaded the earth.
A few days later, as the earth approached a galaxy.
Lin Xu frowned as he looked at the star shrouded in faint black in the galaxy from a distance, especially the planets in the galaxy with slightly weird shapes.
"Are these planets affected by inert filth? I thought that the impact of inert filth on order was not that great. I didn't expect that even the planets could be affected to this extent." Nan Zhu said with some emotion. .
"If it is disorder and filth, these planets have now disappeared and have completely become part of disorder. But now there are only some changes in appearance, but in fact they can still maintain order and have not been assimilated by disorder. It is already very good." Lin Although Xu frowned, he still understood.
"But the appearance of these planets seems too abstract." Nan Zhu still couldn't help complaining.
In fact, not only Nan Zhu, but also Lin Xu always felt an unbearable chill when looking at those planets.
After all, those huge planets are now like living creatures, twisting their huge tentacles.
Lin Xu even saw eyes formed by storms appearing from time to time on a huge gaseous planet that was a hundred times the size of the Earth.
Those eyes seemed to be the eyes of some real giant creature, staring at the starry sky in the distance.
Also staring at the Earth getting closer and closer.
In an instant, even densely packed eyes appeared on the huge gaseous planet.
At the same time, tentacles composed of massive gases were waving towards the Earth, as if they were about to pull the Earth into the gaseous planet and be swallowed by the gaseous planet.
"Are these planets really conscious?" Lu Yao said with a frown.
"It's not impossible, it's just a crazy consciousness." Lin Xu looked at the huge gaseous planet that seemed to be twisting its body and moving towards the earth.
Finally, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
In an instant, the high-dimensional consciousness opened, and the high-dimensional consciousness was used to conduct high-dimensional interference in the space where the gaseous planet, which is a hundred times the size of the earth, is located.
The next moment, the space where the gaseous planet was located briefly changed the physical rules.
Everything seemed to pause for a moment.
The huge planet that was still arrogantly waving its huge tentacles began to collapse inward in an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, a huge gaseous planet a hundred times the size of the Earth was crushed to pieces by Lin Xu.
So the earth, which opened the way forward, broke through the turbulence left in the universe after the explosion of the gaseous planet, and continued to fly towards the interior of the galaxy.
"The planet can actually produce consciousness? How is this possible? This is unscientific." Nan Zhu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Yes, it is unscientific, but this is a zone of disorder after being polluted. Even the pollution of inert and filthy pollution is still a kind of pollution. And under this kind of pollution, many rules of the universe will be in an abnormal state. Distorted state. It is not impossible for the planet to produce consciousness." Lin Xu also said with some emotion.
Nan Zhu wanted to say something else, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.
