No matter how these people who were abandoned by Cheng Xin intentionally or unintentionally felt in their hearts.
But Zhang Heng's target is not them. As long as they no longer stand in front of Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng will not take their lives again.
Besides, it would be better to leave their lives behind rather than taking their lives casually.
After all, according to Cheng Shengsheng's character, as long as these people are still alive, she will definitely come out from the small universe to pick them up.
At that time, if Zhang Heng still wants to continue fighting with her, he can take this opportunity to give her an unforgettable blow.
It's okay to continue to follow her without fighting. Let her bring these abandoned people back smoothly and speed up the brewing of humanity.
In the future, they only need to let their human civilization go through several life and death crises to make them realize that Mother Cheng's Holy Heart alone cannot save them.
When the time comes, they will pull her down the same way they pushed Our Lady up.
After there was no obstruction, Zhang Heng quickly snatched the captives from the fringe civilization into his own hands.
Even the space separated by the main film was included in the small universe.
After achieving his goal, Zhang Heng was too lazy to care about those people anymore, let alone whether Mother Cheng would come out again at this time.
Rather than continuing to tangle with Mrs. Cheng, he was more interested in the captives from the fringe civilization.
If we can find the mother world of fringe civilization through them, then it will be a worthwhile trip.
Even though the mystery of marginal civilization has been basically lifted now, to Zhang Heng himself, marginal civilization, an existence that he could only look up to, seems to be nothing more than that.
After all, they have not even been able to develop micro-cosmic technology, let alone independent consciousness, and can only be regarded as a peak level four civilization at best.
But how many civilizations are there above level five?
Now that he knows the existence of the concept of VI-level civilization, Zhang Heng has a rough idea of the technological strength of most civilizations in the Trisolaran Universe.
Level five can be regarded as the top civilization in the three-body universe, because at this level, even if it cannot be judged as VI, it is infinitely close.
Next is the fourth-level civilization. Civilizations at this level can be said to be the mainstay of the three-body universe. Their number may not be many, but they are not less than imagined.
The so-called mainstay also indirectly shows that in the entire Trisolaran Universe, their level of civilization is the most active.
After all, the singer civilization and the fringe civilization are both civilizations at the fourth level.
They are the ones who like to make noise the most, and they are also the ones who have individuals on duty all year round doing cleaning work.
Apart from that, the rest are just a bunch of former high-dimensional civilizations.
In the three-body metaverse, or in the entire universe, being born in a high dimension does not mean that it is a high-level civilization.
Because there is a rule for dimensionality reduction in the universe, and there is also the possibility of upgrading oneself, the dimensionality is no longer an insurmountable gap.
As long as the technology is in place, a civilization born in a low dimension can develop into a high dimension.
As for civilizations that are born in high dimensions, when they develop to a certain level and understand the history of the entire universe, and discover that there is such a thing as dimensionality reduction, they will basically not let themselves stay in high dimensions to avoid one day Once the dimension you are in is hit, you will also perish.
In other words, the current universe, whether it is the three-body metaverse, or the entire large universe including other metaverses.
Before each dimension is intact, the civilizations living in each dimension are in a mixed state.
Civilizations encountered in high dimensions do not mean that they are high-dimensional civilizations. Maybe they are just visiting high dimensions. In fact, their parent civilization world is waiting for work in the lowest dimension, waiting for the ten dimensions of the universe to be reduced. The day has come.
The civilizations encountered in low dimensions are likely to have come down from high dimensions.
Although high-latitude civilization will lose a lot by doing this, after all, it is far easier to develop in three-dimensional space than in four-dimensional space.
However, this does not prevent them from sending some individuals to adapt to the three-dimensional space in advance, and most individuals continue to develop in the four-dimensional space.
The only difference between a civilization born in a high dimension and a civilization born in a low dimension is the starting point.
The higher the dimension that is born, the higher the starting point and the faster the development.
…
Within the small universe.
Zhang Heng looked at this group of indescribable and indescribable captives from a fringe civilization. He could only imagine that they were very abstract creatures.
"Who among you can take charge?"
Looking at these borderline prisoners who all looked similar in his own eyes, and could even be said to be exactly the same, Zhang Heng said.
Reading other people's thoughts is a relatively labor-intensive job. If he can get the information he wants through interrogation, Zhang Heng does not want to read the thoughts of these prisoners of marginal civilization one by one.
After all, there are thousands of them in total.
Marginal Civilization A spaceship of that size only carries a few thousand individuals from fringe civilization, which is actually very few.
Of course, the language used by Zhang Heng to ask questions was the universal language of the universe. After his voice fell, these captives from the fringe civilization, who were more than a head shorter than humans, slowly stepped aside until they made way for them.
And in the very center of this road, at the very center of the original group of prisoners, stood a unique prisoner.
The reason why it is unique is because its outer armor is different from the prisoners of other fringe civilizations. At first glance, it looks like it is a leader.
Marginal civilizations are obviously carbon-based organisms. As long as they are carbon-based organisms, they are not much better than humans. Without the protection of outer armor, they are also unable to adapt to various environments in the universe.
Since this prisoner's outer armor is more outstanding, he may be the talker among these borderline civilization prisoners.
Immediately, Zhang Heng also locked his eyes on it.
"I'll give you 0.01 hours to introduce yourself."
Zhang Heng said to it.
Zhang Heng is still unclear about the social structure within marginal civilizations.
We can only make vague guesses about them from their mortal enemy, the singer civilization.
Possibly, the fringe civilization is just like the singer civilization, with a ladder structure like a main core, super core, mother world, and seeds.
The so-called main core, super core, mother world, and seed of the singer civilization refer to respectively;
The super core is equivalent to the top intelligent processing equipment of the super group of singer civilization.
To put it bluntly, it is a super intelligence that may be like Ita.
The individual singer civilization living here, or in other words, mastering the "super core" is nothing less than the supreme commander of the entire civilization.
The second mother world has been mentioned before.
This is the political center and cultural and economic center of the Singer civilization, and can be understood as their capital.
Of course, it can also be a planet, or an area where other forms of life can exist.
The individuals living here are basically the top and most treasured talents in the singer civilization.
However, the so-called mother world also plays another important role, which is to continuously breed more new forces for the large collective of singer civilization.
The outstanding ones will be kept in the mother world, while the worst ones will be thrown out and become the final seeds.
The seed is the Cleaner Singer, the navigation unit where its work activities take place, and it can generally be regarded as a spaceship.
Of course, there is also the elder, they are all the seeds of the singer's civilization.
The reason why it is called a seed is probably because it has the responsibility of preserving, inheriting, and spreading the civilization of the mother world.
The authority of the elders will be much higher than that of the singers. It is also very likely that only the elders themselves have these responsibilities, and the singers of the cleaners themselves are actually just the sprouts of the elder's seed.
The above information was obtained from the singer Zhang Hengdu and the elder.
The so-called 0.01 star hour is actually a few minutes of Earth time.
Because each planet is different, the time it takes for each planet to rotate once is naturally different. Some, like the Earth or even like the Earth, rotate once in about 24 hours.
Some planets have a rotation time that is much shorter or much longer than that of the Earth.
Therefore, an average value is taken as the so-called "star time" in the universal language of the universe.
This average is also the average of the rotation times of most planets with life in the universe.
So in total, 0.01 stars is equivalent to a few minutes of Earth time.
"I am No. TX0001, the Archon of the TX spacecraft..."
This unusual prisoner of a fringe civilization also quickly answered after Zhang Heng finished asking questions.
However, its answer was somewhat beyond Zhang Heng's expectations.
It has no name, only a number.
In other words, among fringe civilizations, each individual's number is his or her name.
These numbers are also determined based on their social status and positions within the civilization.
For example, it is the Archon of the TX spacecraft, and it is TX0001.
There is no need to think about the spaceship TX, which must be the one that was transformed by Cheng Xin's human civilization.
And this TX0001 also symbolizes its supreme status on this spacecraft. Those with a slightly lower status will use TX0002, and so on, until the thousands of individuals on the TX spacecraft are counted.
"anything else?"
"I wonder if you have any experience as a defeated person before this, or as a prisoner of war?"
"But presumably, as a defeated person and a prisoner of war at this moment, you should know what I want to do, right?"
Seeing that TX0001 stopped after introducing the situation of the spacecraft, Zhang Heng couldn't help but urge him.
He wanted to know more than that. He wanted to know more detailed information about the mother world of the fringe civilization.
Even though they know the results, it is very likely that, like the Singer Civilization, outside individuals cannot clearly understand the situation in the mother world.
However, Zhang Heng was still unwilling to give up.
However, he had no choice but to give up. The next answer from TX0001 was really like this: "We all come from the mother world, but the information about the mother world was cleared from the moment we left."
"The only way we can transmit information to the mother world is to wait for the mother world to actively contact us, otherwise we will not be able to contact the mother world at all..."
Speaking of which, TX0001 seemed to feel that it was a bit cheating for his home world to do something like this.
It makes them, individuals who are fighting for the mother world outside, unable to ask for support when they encounter a crisis!
If they had been able to contact the mother world efficiently before, they would not have been entangled with the world of singers for so long.
With their technological strength, they are confident that they will definitely outperform the world of singers.
Also, if they fought against the unidentified civilized war star not long ago, if they could contact the mother world, they could delay the other party. When the mother world comes to support, they would not have to expose themselves at all, and they would be directly harmed. Captured by the opponent.
"..."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng also fell silent for a while.
They are really more mature than the other!
As for the singer and the elder, he could barely understand the general social structure of the singer's world through these two.
But here, the prisoners of the fringe civilization can only know the situation on their spaceship.
It’s no wonder that the fringe civilization is better than the singer civilization. It is true that the fringe civilization is older.
However, Zhang Heng could still ask about other things if he couldn't ask about the situation in the edge world.
For example, in addition to the TX spacecraft, does TX0001 know about the existence of other numbered spaceships?
Since these individuals from the outer fringe civilizations all rely on active contact with their mother worlds to gain contact, then as long as he captures more captives from the outer fringe civilizations, doesn't it mean that the chance of active contact with their mother worlds will be greater?
Yes, this is what Zhang Heng thinks. If he takes down all the other spaceships like the TX all over the universe, as long as there is one that waits for active contact with their home world, then it is equivalent to Zhang Heng and their home world gaining connect.
By then, won’t there be a lot of space for operations?
"How many existences are there like you in your home world, and where are they?"
"Also, what are your tasks?"
Zhang Heng started asking questions again.
However, TX0001 seemed a little hesitant now, as if he didn't want to answer this question.
However, it seems to also know what level of existence it is facing, and it also knows what space it is in.
There is no point in resisting...
Therefore, instead of resisting needlessly, it is better to make yourself more comfortable.
"A lot, I don't know exactly how many there are..."
"As for where they are, I only know part of them. They are basically all within the Milky Way."
TX0001 replied.
It could only answer this way. It really didn't know how many existences there were like itself.
"Our mission, in fact, in addition to delivering development resources to the main civilization, before the four-dimensional universe still exists, our most important mission is to, like other civilizations, place as many dimensional falling weapons as possible in the universe..."
