In the space channel from the earth to the jump wormhole, spacecrafts come one after another in an endless stream, pulling out a bright star path in space.
Although according to human technology plans, when energy explodes again in the future - or when real energy freedom is achieved through accumulation, human beings' travel through various galaxies will definitely be completed through large-scale man-made singularities, but before that For a long time, if you want to reach even a nearby galaxy, passing through these wormhole networks designed by the "Creator" must be the mainstream.
In this star road, the fleet composed of a "Da Qin-class" warship and its escort warships is particularly eye-catching.
There is no other ship within 300,000 kilometers in front and behind the fleet, forming a "light path" cavity.
The reason for this is because the main flagship ship named "Wang Jian"... carries a group of distinguished non-military personnel.
…
In the spaceship conference room, Ye Ming ended the communication with the Auriga Scientific Research Base and turned to look at the elder who was sitting in a chair with a relaxed posture. The latter smiled at him: "Academician Ye, just continue to conduct the analysis. I’ll just listen and you can just think of me as the mascot.”
Everyone in the conference room laughed together - this man is responsible for all domestic and foreign affairs, and is also a member of the Community Council. This time he came forward to go to Blue Star with Ye Ming to preside over the opening of the United College of the Local Galaxy Group. After the ceremony, they were also invited to conduct a formal "star affairs" visit to the ocular galaxy.
You said, how can he be regarded as a mascot?
"Actually, there is nothing to analyze." Ye Ming smiled and looked away, scanning around the members attending the meeting - including Director Cao from a certain general office, Deputy Director Zhang from the External Affairs Office, and He Mo from CNY. Deputy Director, and Director Xie Wubing of the Community Investment Committee, etc.
These teams are mainly led by the elders - they were discussing how to complete the comprehensive "support" of the entire Eyed Star without touching the Kodo people.
Well... to put it mildly, it's support and enlightenment. To put it harshly... it is "soft" colonization.
Therefore, apart from He Mo, few people in this circle had anything to do with scientific research.
"In the past, we have been analyzing the architecture, power structure, and civilization formation of the Executor Legion and the sacred civilization behind it... It's just because there was too little information at the beginning, so many of our guesses were taken for granted. Empirical tendency. Therefore, even if we can guess that a powerful civilization that even dominates the entire universe must be similar to the unification process of civilization on Earth... we still dare not draw a conclusion."
The leader slightly nodded his head: "I just heard that the powerful civilization in the galaxy with antimatter mines discovered by Li Dongsheng and others seems to have been assimilated by the civilization behind the executor - is this a bit similar to the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fighting Chi You? "
Ye Ming smiled and nodded, then smiled slightly and said with emotion: "Some people used to say that we are a civilization disguised as a country... rather than a nation-state under a Western structure... I think it is also thanks to our leadership. The expansion of the universe, otherwise, according to some Western standards, it would be difficult to understand the deeper recognition of civilization."
The leader laughed: "That makes sense!"
"Haha, so we can probably determine now that the battlefield of the LY galaxy is a war between the sacred civilization at the beginning of expansion and the ancestral civilization of the Enlighteners. The ancestral civilization of the Enlighteners was defeated and then assimilated. But The Initiates have retained some of the inheritance of their ancestors, allowing them to use the wormholes and hangars on the uninhabited planet YBTL04..."
"But in this assimilation and inheritance, some technologies may have been lost." Ye Ming pondered for a few seconds and then said softly: "There is no doubt that building a planet outside a wormhole... Such technology, even if it is placed in Now, it is an existence that can be called a miracle - unless this planet was originally like this, I really can't imagine what technology would be used to realize it."
At this time, He Mo tilted his head curiously: "Does it mean that the capabilities of the third-level civilization are not good?"
"Yes, the third-level civilization mainly uses matter and energy. As for the artificial planet... although the energy is OK, the engineering difficulty and amount of engineering are only a little lower than the Dyson sphere - if time is not considered, humans will probably build one now. Ten thousand years is enough."
The leader caught Ye Ming's loophole and said with a smile: "Look, you gave the construction time, and you said you couldn't think of the technology."
Ye Ming was startled, and then he laughed: "What a stupid solution? Build countless engineering robots to collect meteorites, build star rings first, and then slowly advance the structure. If you make a slight mistake, you will fall into a strange situation. Point...I believe that no civilization would be so free as to create such a disguised entrance."
Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement.
After laughing, the leader immediately asked: "Can you determine who the handshake message came from?"
"From the Enlightener." Ye Ming gave a very positive answer: "And the reason is probably related to the Tula."
As he spoke, Ye Ming brought up the picture of Tula on the desktop - from the outside, she was docked quietly on the Mars base, but in fact, the Mars scientific research station had "torn her into pieces". The control system and engine parts inside have been removed.
"According to analysis, the Tula was built no more than ten years ago and is a very new spacecraft." Ye Ming's expression gradually became serious: "Such a spaceship parked here must have a special purpose."
Everyone looked at him.
Ye Ming lowered his eyes, and after pondering for a long time, he slowly shook his head: "As for the purpose, I'm not sure - I can only say that this spaceship is parked here, as if it is prepared."
"Are you prepared for any danger?" The leader's eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly considered a possibility based on his rich experience: "You mean, this spacecraft is used to escape or retreat?"
As soon as these words came out, others fell into thinking.
As senior leaders, they all have more or less access to the situation of the Tula. Even just now, they were discussing how to explain the Tula to the Kodo people - you know, the Tula was... The Kodo people regard it as a god!
Therefore, everyone knows that there are many unreasonable things about the existence of Tula.
For example, it is weird enough for an advanced or even brand-new spacecraft to be docked alone in the underground hangar of a planet, but what is even weirder is that her control system can be cracked by "Eta", and then it is Humanity is back...
"I have no evidence, but this should be the most likely guess." Ye Ming nodded slowly, and flashed back to ten years ago in his mind...the first time he was bombarded by a spacecraft simulated in a super simulation. The moon, and then the scene of hitting the moon.
In that fateful collision, the spacecraft was the Tula - at least it was the shape of the Tula.
A thousand-ton spacecraft crashed into the moon at five percent of the speed of light, and then triggered antimatter annihilation—such an energy release was enough to dry the moon into pieces, and then affect the entire earth-moon system.
In the simulation, that won't happen until 2077.
"In that case..." The leader nodded and thought. After a moment, he pondered: "If we assume that the Tula is a force in the sacred civilization that has been preparing to escape for a long time... then it means that the sacred civilization Internally, it is not monolithic, there are also disputes, and they are even quite intense, enough to lead to armed conflict."
Ye Ming was slightly startled. He had never thought that the leader would start from this angle...
Seeing Ye Ming's expression, the leader immediately asked: "Academician Ye, what do you think?"
"I started to think it was a foreign enemy...but now I think it may be an internal conflict." Ye Ming only thought for a moment before agreeing with the leader's statement, and nodded: "Indeed, under the integration of multiple civilizations, it is normal for different ideas to collide. of."
"Well, do you think it is necessary for us to get in touch?" The leader smiled meaningfully: "If we can make full use of the enemy's internal contradictions, it will also be helpful to our cause."
"Even if you can't take advantage of contradictions, you can use some tricks to get more information about our enemies, which is still worthwhile."
Ye Ming's eyes flashed and he nodded immediately.
The leader smiled and nodded: "Also, since we have stolen someone's spaceship and been discovered, we must consider that they sent people to look for us... Our current strength is not enough to open three fronts, so... we can delay Just delay it for a while, or if it can’t be delayed, we can also use the enemy’s arrival to acquire more Star Road galaxies, don’t you think?”
"Yes." Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "But this matter is none of my business... Taiyao will handle it with the Foreign Affairs Office."
The leader laughed: "What you said, how can such a thing be done without you!"
…
The discussion on the Wang Jian quickly spread to many relevant departments under the community. After careful discussion, humans decided to speed up the detection of the star path where the LY galaxy is located. Based on the comparison of the positions of multiple celestial bodies, it was found that the galaxy’s The location is located in the Hydra galaxy group according to human observation scale.
As an emerging cosmic civilization, although human beings have powerful space military and technological power, on a cosmic scale, they are no more than a baby that has just stepped out of the house. Currently, all human star maps come from the Blue Planet people. , Tara people and Kerong people.
There is no civilization that can provide information in the Hydra galaxy group, and it is all up to humans to explore on their own. Therefore, exploring one more wormhole is one more step for mankind.
To speed up detection, we also prepare to discover the "enemy" faster. After all, all signs indicate that the end of this star road can lead to the legendary sacred civilization.
If humans really found a star road leading to the home of the sacred civilization...
Well, for now, humans can't do anything, but they will still worry about having an extra line of defense.
In addition, the community also adopted the opinion of the elders, that is, humans do not take the initiative to shake hands, but if they receive another signal, they must accept the communication.
After all, humans still know too little about the Executor Legion and the Holy Empire. Much of the information comes from the abstractions and descriptions of other civilizations, and these inevitably contain exaggerations and "historical limitations" - such as Ke To this day, Ei people still believe that the Holy Empire is extremely powerful.
On the contrary, the Blue Star people are very open-minded. They have placed the future of civilization on mankind.
And as the elder said, if it is possible to provoke a split within the sacred civilization through dialogue and some manipulation of the wrist... then it would not be too perfect for human beings.
In addition to these, humans have also made "worst" plans to prepare for the opening of a third front.
In short, it is shipbuilding.
Only by building enough warships can mankind be able to cope with all crises.
It's just a pity that since that handshake message, I haven't received any message in the following week.
…
Planet Aila, Executor Base.
Lianna was sitting on the comfortable phase change chair, watching the slender girl humbly kneeling on the ground and raising the fruit tray high, a faint anger rose in her eyebrows.
"Get up - you understand Imperial speak, right?"
"I understand. Please use fruit, sir." The girl still lowered her head. Although there was a hint of fear in her words, her hands remained motionless, which showed that she had received a profound lesson.
Liana snorted softly: "Stand up if you understand. I don't want to say it a second time."
The girl's body trembled slightly, but then she stood up obediently.
"Look up and have a look." Lianna looked at the girl.
The latter slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of jewel-like eyes. There was a hint of fear hidden deep in his eyes.
Liana exhaled slowly.
She knew that this sin descendant was a member of the Kra tribe - a civilization located in the galaxy "next door" to humans.
This civilization is a typical example of being enlightened. Because it followed the path of the initiate, it then improved its technology and naturally encountered "taboos", and was eventually sanctioned by the Enforcer Legion.
After the civilization of the sanctioned Kra tribe was destroyed, their tribesmen were also captured and taken to the planet Ella where the Executor's base was located.
This place... is called the place of exile for sinners.
It is conceivable what the future will be like for an intelligent civilization and intelligent race when they are labeled as being born with "sin".
Although Liana is not a member of the Enlightenment Association, she can still empathize with it - what will happen when those prophets who personally enlightened these backward civilizations see that they have devoted their efforts to guide the enlightened civilization and intelligent races to become what they are today? Feel.
It would feel like...wanting to kill someone!
Moreover, from the girl's performance, she could clearly see that... this girl's life in the executive base was probably not an ordinary torment!
In silence, Lianna looked at the empty door, and pheromones surged out along with the sound.
"It's been 13,900 years since the capital was established as a slave girl. Do you guys still have some pursuits?"
