"What resistance?" He Xingzhou asked.
"After collecting 100,000 photon clusters, the guardian machines of the Galactic Empire will be activated. These guardian machines are all master-level weapons. Our Tomb Keeper civilization is barely considered a level 3.9 civilization. How can we deal with the master weapons?" Zhang Dian finished. Everyone already knows it.
The way to obtain the technological inheritance of the Galactic Empire is to collect these 300,000 photon clusters and defeat the guardian machines of the Galactic Empire.
At the same time, they must defeat their other competitors.
"When you tell us this, you must have your own plans, right?" He Xingzhou said.
"Of course!" Zhang Dian said, "For hundreds of thousands of years, we have been trapped in the Imperial Capital Star Cluster and cannot leave."
"Today, we have realized that the scientific and technological heritage of the Galactic Empire is beyond our control. So we just want to leave!"
"Whether it's your Orion Arm civilization or other spiral arm civilizations, as long as we can collect these galactic lights, we have a chance to break the four-dimensional barrier and let us get out of here."
"So, we are willing to provide you with information and help you collect the light of the Galaxy. The condition is that you must break the four-dimensional barrier of the Imperial Capital Star Cluster, or take us away!"
The conditions he proposed were not difficult to accept, provided that what he said was true.
Cui Weimin asked: "I have one last question. Why have you been here for hundreds of thousands of years and recruited the so-called 'sons of destiny'? Why haven't you developed technology to break through to the fourth level civilization or even higher?"
"We also want to, but we can't." Zhang Dian said helplessly, "The basic scientific knowledge of a civilization is often obtained by observing the universe and studying the laws of all things in the universe."
"For example, observe stars, observe black holes, observe various natural phenomena in the universe, summarize laws, and discover inventions."
"And in the Imperial City Star Cluster, all the planets and star systems are operating according to man-made rules. The civilizations on the planet are more bizarre than the last, and the operations of the star systems are all programmed."
"In other words, in this star cluster, the laws of nature have long been disrupted. The knowledge we have learned from observing the universe is all false appearances. They are misleading our scientists. Therefore, our technology has not only failed to progress, but has been regressing! "
"A hundred thousand years ago, we could barely fight against the guardian machines. Now, we can't even build a level six hyperspace battleship."
After he finished speaking, He Xingzhou communicated with the commanders.
Afterwards, He Xingzhou said: "We can agree to your conditions, but only if the information you provide is true and valid!"
"And you are not allowed to give our intelligence to our competitors!"
"It should be so!" Zhang Dian said, "I just received news that our Tomb Keeper civilization has come into contact with other civilizations that have entered the Imperial Capital Star Cluster, including the King of Han, the King of Tang, the King of Song, and the King of Ming."
"We do not participate in your competition, we only provide information about the Imperial Capital Star Cluster."
"Okay." He Xingzhou said, "Then please tell us the relevant information as soon as possible!"
Zhang Dian sent a message through the subspace communicator and said: "This is the information we can provide at the moment. You should hurry up. Some of your competitors have already obtained the photon group!"
He Xingzhou received the information, which contained nearby star maps and information about civilizations within the star system.
"You can't destroy the planet here, otherwise it will directly touch the guardian machine?"
"We must quickly find the so-called children of destiny in each civilization and remove the photon clusters from their bodies."
It is not difficult to do this kind of thing, but it is time-consuming.
He Xingzhou didn't know why Emperor Qin arranged the Imperial Capital Star Cluster like this. In order to gain an advantage, he immediately ordered the warships to disperse and go to the surrounding star systems to collect photon clusters.
In order to speed up the progress, they specially used their brain to analyze a wave.
"The photon group, the system, is the most critical variable of the entire civilization!"
"So to find it, we have to scan and analyze the entire civilization to find the key variables!"
"I know. The key variable of this civilization of cultivating immortals is right here with us!" He Mengyao said, "Isn't that Ling Qingxue the key variable of their civilization?"
"Her appearance has changed the direction of the entire civilization! Maybe the photon group is hidden in her body!"
"Yeah." He Xingzhou said, "Scan her first!"
They saw Ling Qingxue again. At this time, Ling Qingxue had a completely new look. The dust and blood stains had been washed away, and the injuries on her body had been repaired by treatment equipment.
Just now, she used the stone tablet to chat with the Lingyun Sect's Patriarch, and the Patriarch told her the truth about the world.
At this time, Ling Qingxue was completely confused. The world she knew was actually fake!
In a civilization programmed by humans, spiritual energy, cultivation, and immortals all do not exist. Everything is created using technology!
"Is my world fake? What I pursue is meaningless?"
"Are we just a bunch of guinea pigs, just thrown around?" Ling Qingxue was completely stunned. Her Taoist heart had collapsed and she was falling into self-conflict.
He Xingzhou comforted: "No matter what civilization it is, pursuing and exploring the unknown and understanding the truth of the world are eternal. Your pursuit is not wrong, it's just a little derailed."
"Now, you have the opportunity to learn and understand real knowledge better than anyone else in your world. You are still you, the one who has stepped out of the fog and broken through the illusion!"
"Me or me?" Ling Qingxue was already very talented. She realized that the truth was not terrible. What was terrible was that she did not want to believe the truth!
"Yes, what I pursue is to explore the unknown. The so-called avenue is the truth of the world, no matter what form it is. And my relatives and friends, even though they live in a false world, their personalities and emotions are real. !”
Ling Qingxue's eyes gradually calmed down, and she said firmly: "I still want to avenge Lingyun Sect, and after that, I will leave that false world!"
"Okay." He Xingzhou said, "Now that you have figured it out, next, we are going to scan your body including your brain! You have to be prepared."
"Yeah!" Ling Qingxue nodded lightly and walked into the scanning cabin.
The scanner began to gain insight into the secrets of her body and memory. She was a perfectly constructed human woman with considerable physical fitness.
In their memories, in addition to the useless knowledge of cultivating immortals, they also discovered that Ling Qingxue had an adventure when she was young.
She picked up a jade pendant in a forbidden area. In her memory, the jade pendant was broken by the enemy, but a ball of light entered her body.
"That's the photon cluster of Galaxy Light!" He Mengyao said.
"Perform photon extraction!" They began to extract photon information groups from Ling Qingxue's brain.
Soon, a ball of photon information floated in the air.
"Read the photon information group!" He Xingzhou ordered.
"Reading information... the reading failed. The information group is in a blocked state and requires quantum code to unlock it." Lumi responded.
"Sure enough, it can't be unlocked." He Xingzhou was quite regretful.
"Although it cannot be unlocked, there is some interesting information on its surface." He Mengyao was flipping through it and said, "The previous owner of this photon information group was Ling Qingxue's ancestor, Ling Yun."
"At that time, the mainstream of the entire Haokong Continent was body training. After Ling Yun obtained the Photon Information Group, he opened up a more ambitious path for the minority to practice law, allowing law practice to occupy the mainstream."
"The previous master established the physical cultivation school... There are also thousands of messages about the Sons of Destiny. They have almost perfected the entire system of immortal cultivation civilization."
"It's interesting." He Xingzhou was also interpreting the information.
At this time, Jiang Chan suddenly said: "You said that to us, the civilization of cultivating immortals is just a false civilization, but to the people of this planet, this is a real civilization!"
"What nanorobots, the rules of the planet's protective shield are the laws of their universe. If this world expands, will it be equivalent to a real civilization?"
This question caused everyone to fall into deep thought. Xu Zhilan said: "I think so! If their world is bigger and has the world of immortals, demons, and the underworld, then to them, it will be no different from the real universe."
"If the area they live in expands into a complete universe, it will be a real civilization!" He Xingzhou expressed his opinion, "I have seen it before at the interstellar construction meeting. It is said that advanced civilizations can build their own small universe!"
"If this civilization of cultivating immortals is placed in the small universe, it will be equivalent to the real civilization of this small universe!"
After hearing his words, everyone's minds suddenly opened up.
Lu Mei said: "According to this idea, is Emperor Qin of the Galaxy Empire exploring ways to build a small universe?"
"We know nothing about the microcosm." Song Jinghong analyzed, "But Emperor Qin's behavior is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment fun, but some kind of civilized experiment."
"Maybe we will understand if we collect more information!" He Xingzhou said, "Now we divide our troops into various civilizations and start collecting photon groups!"
They started to take action. After Ling Qingxue was taken out of the photon group, there was nothing strange. She chose to stay on the battleship and join the Blue Star Civilization to learn about the technological civilization here.
…
The battleships of Blue Star Civilization go to various planets and explore various civilizations. Every once in a while, they can collect a photon information group.
"Discovered the magical civilization and found a son of destiny. He created fusion magic!"
"After discovering the summoning civilization, the Son of Destiny here can open a temporary wormhole, summon creatures from other planets, and extract photon clusters."
"Discover plant civilization. There is a mother tree here that can grow on stars. It can contain all kinds of life. It is similar to the star devourer!"
"We discovered Dou Qi Civilization. The son of destiny has just had his engagement annulled and has been caught by us."
"We discovered the Confucian and Taoist civilization and Wenquxing has been captured by us."
…
They cannot read the core information of each photon cluster collected, but its surface still records many things about this civilization.
Moreover, when exploring these civilizations, He Xingzhou also specially asked people to record all the information about this civilization and input it into the brain of Blue Star Civilization for the brain to learn.
Although the magic of the world where most civilizations live is provided by technological creations, their civilization development history and some fantastic inventions are quite valuable to scientific research.
Not only the Blue Star Civilization, but also King Han, King Ming and others are also rapidly collecting photon clusters.
In the first ten years, they had a tacit understanding not to disturb each other. They formed five areas within the cluster and collected them separately.
Ten years later, things began to change.
Their areas of exploration began to intersect, and friction also occurred.
"Our people have met the people of King Tang!" a captain reported. "They came to the civilization where they were earlier and slaughtered the entire civilization. The Son of Destiny was captured by them!"
"Actually using such means to speed up!" The commanders began to discuss.
"It will take a certain amount of time to find the Son of Destiny. In order not to destroy the planet, they want to speed up and simply kill the entire planet's life. Do we want to do this?"
"No." He Xingzhou rejected this idea. It was not because he was overflowing with sympathy, but for other reasons. "If you don't collect all the photon clusters, you can't unlock the light of the galaxy."
"Even if we find 299,900 copies, it's still useless and we still have to fight with the other party."
"In this case, why not take this opportunity to study these civilizations! And the civilization that collects 100,000 copies of the photon group first will fight against the guardian machine. Let others fight against the guardian machine first. We can just be prepared."
Everyone believed this and continued to follow their own pace regardless of the methods of other competitors.
During this period, Ling Qingxue had initially learned some technological knowledge.
She returned to the Haokong Continent, used the nano-robots she mastered, and killed the leader of Jiuyou with a flying sword to avenge the sect. After leaving the legend of the female sword fairy in the world, she returned to the battleship again to help those brought by the Blue Star Civilization. "Psychological Counseling" for Destiny's Children.
These people have extremely high IQs and are very suitable to be scientists or interstellar builders. They just need time to adapt to the new world.
The competition between several major civilizations is accelerating. For each civilization in the Imperial City Star Cluster, the darkest era has arrived.
In a certain fantasy civilization, everyone on the planet is in danger.
"Dark turmoil has come, and there are immortal beings devouring life. I heard that they have slaughtered hundreds of living planets!"
That was a few destruction robots sent by the Spiral Arm King to find the photon group through rapid killing.
Of course, sometimes they are blocked. For example, the battleships of the Blue Star Civilization had a fight with the battleships of the Tang and Song Dynasties and repelled them outside a planet.
The people on the planet are grateful, "The great emperor of the human race has stood up, suppressed Eternity, and preserved the fire of my human race!"
"The unknown existence came across the long river of time and suppressed the evil supreme!"
The natives frantically imagined countless versions, such as extraterrestrial demons, Buddha's salvation, the end of the Dharma, strange resurgence, void invasion...
The Imperial Capital Star Cluster is in complete chaos.
This chaos lasted for decades, and finally something changed. Someone has collected 100,000 copies of the Photon Group!
