Soon, all the information stored in the singer's mind and memory since its existence was rummaged out by Maya.
But, it doesn’t have the coordinates of its own civilization in its memory?
Zhang Heng felt very incredible about this.
How can their civilization be so cautious?
Individuals outside are not even qualified to obtain internal information about their own civilization?
In other words, once an individual is sent away from the parent civilization, all important information related to the parent civilization will be cleared.
After knowing that his thoughts were read again and all the information recorded in his thoughts were exposed, the singer finally understood the thoughts of Zhang Heng, an unknown being.
"Haha, you want to find our mother civilization through me?"
"Disappointed?"
The singer laughed: "As a cleaner, you will naturally be prepared to be cleaned by other cleaners at any time."
"And our mother civilization world has never felt that its own civilization is such a powerful civilization in the universe."
"From the beginning to the end, I believe that when we look at the scale of the entire universe, we are still an extremely small existence."
"So, no matter how cautious the measures are, as long as they can prevent us from being wiped out by higher-level civilizations, we don't think it's too much."
At this moment, the singer seemed very proud of the safety measures he had taken long ago, as well as the foresight of his mother's civilized world.
Because the safety measures they took took effect, it can be said that they were not in vain.
What came to his spaceship at this moment and stood in front of him was obviously a higher-level civilization that the mother civilization world was worried about.
And this higher-level civilization is also trying to take advantage of their parent civilization.
"I can't say I'm disappointed..."
Faced with the singer's triumphant posture, Zhang Heng was not annoyed.
After all, it told the truth, and the foresight of their parent civilization really saved them at this time.
Although Zhang Heng said he wanted to uncover this civilization during this trip and see what this existence that he could only look up to look like like.
However, it is not necessary to know.
There are so many civilizations in the Milky Way. One more singer from them is not too many, and one less singer is not too many.
If you can, that's enough. If you can't, Zhang Heng won't push too hard.
However, after reading the information about the "edge world" in the singer's thoughts, he had a new idea: "If I ask you to provide me with specific information about that edge world, I believe you will Very happy, right?"
Zhang Heng looked at the singer with a smile and said.
Since the singer's home civilization world has been at war with the fringe world, the conflict has reached the point where it is impossible to reconcile it.
But in this conflict between civilizations, the singers and their home civilization do not have the upper hand.
If things continue like this, it should be that the singers and their parent civilization will become impatient and jump into indiscriminate dimensionality reduction plans.
At this time, if there is a better way, or you can use the hands of a higher-level civilization to help you get rid of the fringe world.
I believe that the singers’ home civilization would be very happy.
Yes, Zhang Heng is not only interested in the singers’ home civilization, but also the marginal world, that is, the marginal civilization.
"You want to know where the edge world is?"
Sure enough, after hearing what Zhang Heng said, the singer's eyes seemed to light up instantly.
I have to say that it was really exciting at this moment.
If you can kill someone with a borrowed knife, you can use the hands of the civilization that is threatening you at the moment to help your mother civilization get rid of the mortal enemy of the fringe world.
So, whether it is for the singer himself or for the entire mother civilization world, it is undoubtedly a very beautiful thing.
Although it is said that in the tower of meaning of their parent civilization world, 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.
Fun has become dispensable.
However, if it is not based on the premise that the lesser of two evils must be chosen, they are still reluctant to give up "fun".
Emotional beings, as well as perceptual beings, will inevitably have so-called "pursuits" as long as they don't change their thinking patterns into the kind of beings whose absolute rationality only obeys the form of calculation.
Pursuit is one of the pleasures, and it can also be said to be the self-satisfaction of a living being.
But unfortunately, it doesn't know much about the world at the edge.
Of course, if it knew, Zhang Heng would no longer need to ask it like this. Zhang Heng would be able to learn everything by reading through his thoughts just now.
"Although what you said makes me very excited, I am also very willing to send you all the information about the edge world, and even the specific coordinates of their parent civilization world."
"But, I can't do it!"
The singer said with a regretful expression.
It can also be seen that it is a genuine regret at this moment, without any pretense.
After all, as long as the fringe world no longer exists, its parent civilization world will no longer think about becoming two-dimensional.
"Of course I know that you don't know much information about the edge world..."
Zhang Heng continued: "But you can ask someone who knows, and then tell me, such as the "elder" who communicated with you not long ago."
Zhang Heng began to induce.
However, the singer still shook his head: "Impossible. There is no way the elder would be willing to tell me so much. Things in the fringe world are not the responsibility of cleaners like us."
"Before you came here, I almost angered the elder once because of things in the fringe world."
"I also absolutely believe that if I dare to be so presumptuous again, I will definitely be cleaned up by the elders first."
Their parent civilized world is also a world with distinct classes.
The social status of every individual in a civilization has been determined since birth.
Some individuals are born to be civilized elites, while some individuals are born to only work as cleaners.
Most of the time, every individual who has his or her own essential job cannot ask about things beyond the scope of his or her job.
Otherwise, it is a violation.
The development model of their entire civilization is like each cell in a living body.
Every cell must stick to its job in order to maintain the survival of the main life form.
If every cell had its own idea, wouldn't it be chaos?
Therefore, they cannot have thoughts of their own.
If there is, it can only be kept in one's heart.
"You can ask your elders in another way..."
Zhang Heng spoke again: "For example, reveal my existence, your current situation, and my purpose of finding the edge world."
"I believe that even if you think it is a beneficial and harmless thing, your elders should not be so far-sighted and refuse to tell me the information about the edge world, right?"
Zhang Heng told it clearly; I not only have thoughts about your mother civilization world, but also about the fringe world.
But the safety measures your mother civilization has taken in advance are so good that I can’t mess with your mother civilization.
So, can you tell me where your nemesis Fringe World is?
Even if I am not friendly to you, if I direct my unfriendliness towards your mortal enemy, the Fringe World, wouldn't it make me friendly again in a certain sense?
Anyway, you won't have anything to lose in the end.
Maybe, after the edge world disappears, you can become better.
Isn’t it beautiful?
"I can try..."
After pondering for a moment, the singer was finally persuaded by Zhang Heng.
As I said before, not only human civilization, but many civilizations have the so-called human nature, which can also be said to be perceptual psychology, which is generally the case.
Because of the self-interested nature of life, as long as there is a choice and this choice can make them more beneficial, they (they) will choose it without hesitation.
"I will truthfully convey everything I am facing to the elders, and the outcome will really no longer be decided by me."
While speaking, the singer once again walked to the instrument that had communicated with the elder before.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng immediately asked Maya to release control of the instrument and some of the communication equipment of the spacecraft, and asked the singer to contact the elders of her own civilization.
"Well, please do as you please!"
Zhang Heng urged tactfully.
After another moment.
Under Zhang Heng's gaze, the singer once again used this instrument to send all the things that were happening on the spacecraft, as well as Zhang Heng's intention, to the previous elder.
However, the singer who was engrossed in it did not notice that Zhang Heng also made a small move at the moment it sent the message.
Since information is being sent, there must be a sending end and a receiving end.
Before many civilizations had the ability to leave their home planet, they had already captured the information or found the final destination of the information based on the source of the information.
For example, human civilization in the twentieth century initially possessed this kind of technological capability.
In this way, it is simply a simple matter for Zhang Heng to find the final destination of the message sent by the singer.
Of course, such a cautious singer would not fail to think of this.
But why does it do this even though it knows that the final destination of the information it sends will be locked by Zhang Heng?
Is it confidence?
Or just a moment of stupidity?
All are obviously contrary to the prudence of it and its parent world civilization.
Then, there is only one possibility that is relatively high.
That is, there may be no information about their parent civilization world even in that elder's mind.
That's why the singer was so happy to send another message to the elder directly in front of Zhang Heng.
Even though Zhang Heng had thought of this when making small moves, he still locked onto the information that had been sent.
After all, no matter whether he could learn the coordinates of their parent civilization from that elder, he had nothing to lose.
Moreover, theoretically speaking, the social status of that elder in their home civilization was not comparable to that of a cleaner like the singer.
Therefore, if he could follow the clues and find out the elder, even if he could not get the most important information, Zhang Heng would be able to get more detailed information about their parent civilization through that elder.
On this spaceship, which was neither too small nor too large, both fell silent.
The singer didn't know what he was thinking while waiting for the elder's reply.
Although Zhang Heng was still on the spacecraft, his thoughts had already followed the message sent out and flew to who knows how many light-years away.
Also, the communication technology used by the singer is actually faster than light.
Moreover, it is a communication technology that can achieve super-light speed of sight without passing through cosmic strings.
However, although Zhang Heng found it novel, he was not surprised!
After all, civilizations that have been given the word "singer", even if they do not realize the independence of consciousness, will not be able to escape the universe returning to zero in the end.
However, their overall scientific and technological strength is not much worse than a so-called civilization above level five.
Zhang Heng briefly analyzed the communication technology used by the singers and quickly came to a conclusion.
This seems to be an extension of curvature technology.
As we all know, curvature technology is the only technology that can enable all matter in the universe to travel at a speed exceeding the speed of light without using space travel.
The singers' home civilization world has also developed curvature technology into communication roads.
Of course, the information they send out is not equipped with a curvature engine on top of the information, allowing it to fly out faster than the speed of light.
Rather, through some unknown method, the information sent can jump in the universe like a curvature spacecraft.
In this way, the information source itself does not have much mass. The energy that normally can only travel at one time the speed of light is enough to support the information source with a small mass, directly reaching thousands or tens of thousands of times the speed of light, and directly escapes.
The specific method is unknown, and Zhang Heng certainly cannot know it just by looking at it.
After all, it would be ridiculous if the core technology of a civilization could be learned by others just by looking at it.
Especially those like the Singers, whose civilization potential is countless times greater than that of the Trisolaran civilization.
Perhaps, if Ita and Maya use the exhaustive method to calculate, they can calculate it even after spending hundreds of millions of years.
However, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Heng to do something like this at this moment, something that happens every time he thinks about it.
Now I am still thinking about how to capture the elder after tracing back to the final destination of the information source.
As time passed by, Zhang Heng's spatial anchor attached to the information source flew farther and farther along with the information.
In the blink of an eye, we have already left the Milky Way...
"It actually went outside the Milky Way. Could it be that the so-called Singer Civilization is not the native civilization of the Milky Way?"
After discovering this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but start to doubt.
Before that, whether it was him during the last universe return to zero cycle or now, he always believed that the Singers civilization was one of the civilizations in the galaxy.
However, now it seems that this is not the case.
