If you want to find the singer's civilization, you must first find this "singer".
Zhang Heng's trip was, of course, aimed at finding this civilization that he could only look up to.
However, the singer civilization is the same as the three-body civilization.
He also never had any contact with the other party during the last universe return to zero cycle.
If he had contact with the other party, either the other party would destroy him, or he would have already destroyed the other party.
As for his limited understanding of the singer's civilization, and most of his knowledge, he basically knew it through rumors.
Although he evaluates the singer civilization based on his current height, their overall technological strength is not expected to reach the independent level of consciousness.
In other words, if we measure them by civilization level, they can only be regarded as civilizations below level five.
After all, it's a pretty obvious thing.
If they reach the fifth level of civilization, their consciousness will be independent and they will gain immortality in a certain sense.
At the same time, they also have the opportunity to go to the new universe when the universe returns to zero.
Then, they will no longer appear in the galaxy of the three-body metaverse.
What Pangu Yuanuniverse can replicate again is only all the matter that has been returned to zero.
Facts have also proved that Zhang Heng’s consciousness went to the new universe, which is the current cycle universe.
The result is that, whether it is the metaverse of his hometown or the three-body metaverse, there will never be another him.
Of course, if you just take Zhang Heng as an example, you still find it unconvincing.
So, what does it mean that Cheng Xin, Yun Tianming, etc., as well as the humans of Gravity and Blue Space, have not reappeared in the three-body universe in the current cosmic cycle?
Zhang Heng had already confirmed this when he was on Earth before.
There really are no such people on the earth in the current cosmic cycle.
To sum up all the above, it shows that the singer civilization can only be regarded as a peak level four civilization at best, less than a level five civilization.
No matter how powerful the strike weapons they master are, as long as they cannot break through the independent technology of consciousness, they will never be able to go further.
Just when Zhang Heng began to look for this "singer" within the range of one or two light years.
In a dark and silent space, an inconspicuous spaceship is parked here.
The hull of this spacecraft is filled with various devices for observing and receiving signals from the universe.
Inside the spacecraft, one could not see what it looked like. Sometimes it was almost transparent, and sometimes it had a milky white shadow. It was performing various operations on an instrument.
While operating the instrument, the shadow's mouth was not idle, constantly humming a melody that only it could understand.
If there are no surprises, maybe this is what Zhang Heng is looking for, the "singer".
After some operations, the singer finally stopped humming and turned to the instrument with a serious tone: "I need a piece of two-way foil for cleaning."
Obviously, it is communicating with someone through this instrument.
This being is naturally within their civilization, and his status within the civilization is not low.
This existence is the "elder" in civilization.
"Give."
Soon, the person opposite the instrument replied, and the elder immediately gave the singer a piece of two-way foil.
Moreover, it was transmitted through the anchor point of space technology.
It seems that they have not only mastered the application of space technology, but may even have their own small universe.
The transmitted two-way foil is suspended in front of the singer, in an encapsulated state, crystal clear.
Although it is just a very ordinary thing, the singer likes "it" very much.
As a civilized cleaner, he actually doesn't like those expensive tools, they are too violent!
He still prefers what the two-way foil embodies, the hardest softness, the beauty that can sing death into a song.
But after getting the two-way foil, the singer became a little uneasy: "Why did you give it to me so readily this time?"
"This is not something expensive."
The elder on the other side of the instrument replied.
"But if this thing is used too much, it will always..."
The singer wants to speak but stops.
“It’s used everywhere in the universe.”
Elders don't care.
"Yes, it is used everywhere, but we used to be somewhat restrained, but now..."
At this moment, the singer couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.
Is it really okay to be so messy?
In the beginning, the use of two-way foil in my own civilization was restrained, but it seems to have become more and more common recently.
Executives are becoming less and less concerned about cleaners like themselves approving the use of two-way foil.
Could it be...
Is it because the mother world is ready to dichotomize itself, so it boldly uses the two-dimensional foil to try to see if it can wipe out the high-dimensional civilization that exists above the two-dimensional world in one fell swoop?
"Did you hear something?"
The singer seemed surprisingly talkative today, and the elder's voice gradually began to sound cold,
At the same time, the singer also felt that the elder was rummaging through his thoughts.
This feeling made the singer shudder.
Faced with the elder reading his thoughts like a book, the singer certainly did not dare to resist, nor was he able to resist.
Soon, the elder also found out the rumors that the singer had heard.
However, this is not a sin. It is an open secret among the upper echelons of civilization.
It's about the war between the mother world and the edge world. There used to be reports of the war, but then there were no more.
This also shows that the war is not going well and may even be in crisis.
Their mother world and the edge world cannot coexist, and the edge world must be destroyed, otherwise they will be destroyed.
If the war cannot be won, it can only...
"Is the mother world ready to become two-dimensional?"
Now that the singer knew that the elder knew his thoughts, he no longer hesitated to ask directly.
However, the elder did not answer, or perhaps he acquiesced.
The elder left and cut off the instrument communication with the singer.
"If that's the case, that's a great tragedy!"
The singer sighed alone.
It cannot imagine that kind of life. On the Tower of Meaning, survival is above all else. In the face of survival, all low-enrichment bodies in the universe can only choose the lesser of two evils.
The so-called "Tower of Meaning" is actually everything their civilization pursues, just like the law is written on the stone tower.
Their civilizational pursuits and values are also recorded on the "Tower of Meaning".
And on the tower of their civilization, the highest is survival.
Although there is fun in addition to survival, that is, maintaining and improving one's low entropy level in a universe that is constantly increasing entropy.
However, they consider the fun to be the least important.
After the war with the Fringe World, fun was largely forgotten due to its lower status of meaning.
Of course, if there is a higher meaning higher up in the tower of meaning, higher than they civilization can see.
But this is not something that civilization at this level can consider and understand.
Now, the biggest contradiction and task that their civilization level has to face is survival.
After recovering for a long time, the singer looked at the two-way foil in front of him, and he was no longer as happy as before.
This two-way foil was originally intended to be used to attack the galaxy where the yellow dwarf star was located in front of it.
That is, the solar system.
However, now it seems a little hesitant.
Then again, it has only now applied for two-way foil.
So, wouldn't it mean that the two-way foils that Zhang Heng discovered before were as large as a deck of playing cards?
Did Zhang Heng misunderstand it?
This is really the case.
After all, as the elder said, two-way foil is used everywhere in the universe.
Two-way foil is not the exclusive weapon of "Singer Civilization"...
Closer to home, the singer only hesitated for a moment, and soon his heart became firm again.
Living in the moment, cleaning is its main job.
However, before it had time to release the two-way foil it had just applied for, it suddenly felt that its spacecraft was out of control.
"Data virus?"
After noticing the abnormality in the spacecraft, the singer quickly discovered the clues and accurately judged that a civilization had dropped a data virus on his spacecraft.
I have been hunting all day long, but I didn’t expect to be bitten by the prey today.
Yes, it compared those who attacked its own spacecraft to prey, which seemed a bit disapproving.
Don't think it is just a cleaner in civilization, but with its vision and knowledge, it certainly knows which level of civilization the data virus belongs to, and will use more attack methods.
Zhang Heng has also said before that data virus wars generally only occur at those levels between Trisolaran civilization and human civilization.
Therefore, at this moment, the singer believes that the civilization that uses data viruses to attack his spaceship must not be a civilization of too high a level.
However, just when it wanted to get rid of the data viruses that had invaded its own spacecraft, it found that it seemed to have underestimated these data viruses.
The resistance of data viruses is beyond imagination.
Even, it will be ridiculed...
"It's really life-and-death."
Although at this time the singer had to admit in his heart that the civilization that attacked his spaceship did have something. It was able to create such a perverted data virus, and even the advanced intelligent defense system on its spacecraft was unable to clear it.
However, their civilization does not only possess advanced intelligence, they also have super intelligence.
However, of course, something like super intelligence cannot be equipped on its spacecraft.
If it wants to use it, it must apply.
While the data virus had not invaded the instrument used to contact the elder, and the advanced intelligence on the spacecraft could still sustain it for a while, the singer hurriedly tried to contact the elder just now.
But, I'm afraid it won't be able to do what it wants!
If data viruses weren't serious just now, they are now in full swing.
A moment is just a moment in the past.
The singer lost control of all facilities on the spacecraft, including the instrument used to communicate with the elders.
"What should I call you?"
At this time, a voice that seemed unfamiliar to the singer, which it had never heard before, the voice of any kind of creature, came into the spaceship and spoke in the universal language of the universe.
"Forget it, I'll just call you the singer. After all, that's what everyone calls you."
The voice continued.
Of course, the universal language of the universe, the civilization of singers, and the singers themselves can also use it.
After all, the fact that they can conflict with marginal civilizations and develop to the point where they are now at odds with each other is enough to show that there have been exchanges between the two before.
There must have been some communication before we knew that the conflicts between the two parties were irreconcilable.
Otherwise, no matter how old a civilization is, it is impossible to fight to the death with a civilization that also has the ability to destroy itself.
Because this does not conform to the principle that survival is the first need.
Since there has been a history of communication with other civilizations, communication must also use a language as a medium.
Undoubtedly, it must be the universal language of the universe.
Regarding the universal language of the universe, it may be an intentional move by various alliances. In the Trisolaran Metaverse and even in various metaverses, any civilization that has the ability to leave its home planet can basically learn it through various channels.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Heng learned everything even when he had basically no communication with any civilization during the last universe return to zero cycle.
"Which civilization are you from?"
After hearing the sound, the singer was also surprised!
Its body, which changes color more and more frequently, also seems to be trembling.
Don't look at it as a cleaner in the singer's civilization. It can destroy a civilization or even a star system with just a few moves.
However, what it does is basically the same old behavior, and it hides in dark places where there is no danger.
But he has never really encountered any creature outside his own civilization, let alone fought a war with other civilizations.
At this moment, faced with someone who could silently drop a data virus on his own spaceship and easily sneak into his own spaceship.
This is the first time, so it will inevitably be a little panicked.
"You can call me the Enlightener..."
The voice also answered.
At the same time, the singer finally saw the owner of this voice.
Because the other party has already arrived on its spaceship.
"Oh, two-way foil."
Zhang Heng, who came to the spacecraft cabin, also saw the two-way foil at the first sight that the singer had not yet had time to use.
"Which galaxy do you want to use it on?"
For a moment, Zhang Heng couldn't help but ask curiously.
He didn't know that among the previous two-way foils, there was no one thrown by the singer.
Therefore, at this moment, it is natural to think that the singer wants to use it on other galaxies.
After all, after launching a strike weapon into a galaxy, generally no one would launch it a second time.
"I have no obligation to answer your questions."
the singer replied.
Even though it knew that it might have to confess here this time, it still acted very tough.
"Then I'll find it myself in your thoughts!"
Hearing this, Zhang Heng shook his head and stopped talking nonsense and let Maya, who had completely controlled the entire spaceship, continue to invade the singer's consciousness.
Facing Maya's invasion, the singer, who could not even resist the elders of his own civilization, of course still allowed Maya to read the information in his mind.
