"Lord Archon, the target has been cleared!"
On the disc-shaped spaceship, after the long creature cleaned up the civilized planet, it turned to look at the Archon behind it. Circles of colors began to flash on the surface of the skin. This was their communication. organ.
By emitting electromagnetic waves of various frequencies to transmit information, real-time communication can be achieved even in space.
"Very good. Once we capture this star system, we don't have to worry about the reserve of element seven." The Archon's body glowed with red light, which represented a look of joy.
Its shape is a spire-like isosceles triangle, which looks out of place with the rest of the long-shaped crew members, exuding an indescribable majesty.
For a civilization that has fully mastered the technology of physical body and genetic modification, and can weave body shapes at will, appearance is not important.
The reason for choosing to transform into this appearance is due to the worship of geometric shapes. Most of the top leaders in the civilization firmly believe that geometric shapes represent the truth of the universe to some extent.
However, the shape transformation also has very strict specifications. The lower-class citizens cannot even adopt a complete geometric shape, so the long vertical shape has become the choice of the vast majority of people.
As for triangles, squares, polygons, etc. being characteristics of higher citizens…
Above that is the circle, a form that only the elders and supreme rulers can transform.
Generally speaking, the higher the status, the rounder the shape!
Because of this, they are also called geometric civilization!
The importance of element No. 7 is self-evident. If they had not accidentally discovered this strange substance that could affect time and space more than a thousand years ago, ushering in a scientific research explosion, I am afraid that it would still be barely a leap. A fourth-level civilization that has entered the galaxy level is even less likely to survive the last great war with silicon-based life forms.
Thinking of this, the light around the Archon turned from red to black, an expression of fear and anger.
Those damn silicon-based monsters come from the four-armed galaxy next door. They are like locust-like creatures. They are endlessly expanding in various galaxies, plundering all resources, and transforming them into armies and battleships. War supports war and does not accept any negotiations. Now it has become the enemy of geometric civilization.
Without Element 7, the mother star at the border between the two galaxies would have been breached long ago.
"Lord Consul, we have just received a message asking for help!" Next to him, another square adjutant suddenly called, interrupting the consul's thoughts.
"Can you determine the position and distance?" The consul calmed down his fluctuating emotions and hid his thoughts. He was a little worried that the home planet might be invaded...
"The news should come from seventy light-years away, not from the home star..." A long branch extended from the square adjutant's body. He clicked it in the void, and a complex galaxy map suddenly emerged. On top of everyone's heads.
There are densely packed star dots all over it.
Each star point is a star, and the position of each planet is even marked in detail. However, nearly half of the area is still a foggy area, and only the corresponding stars are marked. As for the specific situation in the galaxy, it is still a fan.
These areas are either under the jurisdiction of some powerful civilizations, or are relatively dangerous or marginal areas, and the location pointed by the square crew member is an edge area.
The Archon's mood fluctuated again, this time a confused reddish color, because according to records they did not send any fleet there.
"The communication uses a very old encryption method. According to the records retrieved, it is an encryption method that was abandoned thousands of years ago." Fang's adjutant reported.
"Is it the remaining ship from that exploration?" The consul reacted immediately.
After the parent star completed a new round of technological breakthroughs, it directly became one of the most powerful civilizations in the visible star field. Then it began to explore the entire galaxy with great ambitions, preparing to draw a complete galaxy. map.
A total of seventy exploration fleets consisting of one capital ship and two frigates were dispatched.
Although they were few in number, they were all the most advanced ships at the time.
Unlike some civilizations that like to win with numbers, they prefer to strive for excellence. According to the elders, creating a large amount of cannon fodder is meaningless and is just a waste of resources.
As for the daily patrols among the stars? Renovated retired old ships or civilian ships can also be used according to the weapons.
However, the results of this exploration were not good. Only half of the seventy exploration fleets returned, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the enterprising faction. It also provoked a powerful enemy and dragged the home planet into the quagmire of endless war.
Precisely because of the continuous wars, they really couldn't spare much energy to search for the inexplicably missing fleets in the entire star field. They could only swallow the bitter pill silently and mark these areas as dangerous areas.
Adjutant Fang, who had retrieved the database, could naturally think that the message was probably sent by a certain exploration fleet, and AC electromagnetic waves were soon emitted from his body again.
"The communications we received were intermittent. They seem to have discovered a new, very powerful energy source...perhaps comparable to element seven!"
An energy source comparable to Element 7? The Archon immediately took it seriously. This might very well mean a new technological breakthrough, and even become the key for geometric civilization to defeat those silicon-based monsters!
"I think the technological level of the other side's civilization should be inferior to ours. Although they killed the exploration fleet sent by the home star, they did not completely destroy it. Otherwise, we would not be able to receive this message." Adjutant Fang suggested.
"No, you missed a very important detail. This news came from a thousand years ago. At that time, the other party had the technology to block communications, but now they allow the news to be transmitted. I suspect this may be a trap!" another adjutant retorted. said.
Although the technologies of these thousand-year-old exploration fleets are relatively imperfect, they are equipped with quantum communication technology. In this galaxy, the communication delay is about one atomic minute.
It makes no sense that he was intercepted at the time and could be interrogated again now.
Colorful light waves flashed continuously inside the spacecraft, which was a sign that the dispute was gradually becoming more intense.
The consul was also caught in a dilemma.
This may be a rare opportunity, but it may also be a dangerous trap...
In the past thousand years, due to the prompting of war, the rate of scientific and technological progress of geometric civilization has not been slow, and the spacecraft has been updated several times. But in fact, there is no real technological breakthrough... It just continues on the original basis. Improvements that increase performance or the power of a weapon.
He had heard that some cutting-edge scholars on the home planet had some clues in the research on the curvature engine, which was the key to developing a super-light spacecraft, but it would still take a lot of time before it was actually installed.
And because of the war, they don’t have much power to mobilize...
But soon they no longer had to think about it, because a communication from the home planet was delivered.
The content is very concise, you can go to the location where the signal was sent and judge the situation by yourself.
If the civilization that destroyed the exploration fleet is relatively weak, destroy it directly, find that special energy, and bring it back.
If the technology level is very high, they will try to coexist peacefully, indicating that they sent the exploration fleet before to actually have friendly exchanges, but some misunderstandings accidentally occurred.
Regarding this order, the Archon chose to execute it without hesitation. It is the consistent practice of geometric civilization to evaluate the way of dealing with each other based on strength and threat.
There are endless possibilities in the vast universe. No one knows how many unknown elements and energies there are. It is entirely possible for a weak civilization to surpass a powerful civilization in just a few thousand years.
For example, although the civilization they destroyed before could not threaten the home star at all, a large number of reserves of element 7 were found in the star system, which means that a round of technological innovation may break out at any time.
It is undoubtedly foolish to place hope on the kindness of the enemy. There is no room for two powerful galaxy-level civilizations in this area. Instead of having a dispute break out thousands of years later, it is better to resolve it now.
"Where are our closest coordinates to this star system?" White light waves appeared around the Archon's body, which was a cold expression.
"Near the Western Har Nebula, which is about 240 atomic hours away from the target star system (eight light years), and there are two other fleets within 50 atomic hours away from us. We may You can apply for support!" the adjutant replied.
The Archon nodded, and after issuing the order for help, he controlled the spacecraft to hover above the red, dazzling star.
Immediately afterwards, the bottom floor of the spacecraft suddenly unfolded, four wide cantilevers stretched out from the inside, and the space began to twist and deform...
Under the strong gravitational pull, the energy on the star's surface was rapidly extracted, forming a huge plasma flame vortex, and a steady stream of fusion energy poured into the spacecraft crazily.
Although the battle just ended in a crushing situation, the energy consumption was not a small amount. Fortunately, they were in a star system and could replenish energy in time...
The Archon just waited quietly for the energy pool to be full, and then slowly picked out a knuckle-sized ball and put it into the launch port.
The launch speed this time was very 'slow', not even reaching one-tenth of the speed of light. After one atomic minute of flight, the ball began to suddenly collapse inward, and the surrounding space curled and spread inward. A temporary wormhole was quickly formed.
The Geometry Stars inside the spacecraft entered a dormant state one after another, and the three spacecrafts flew out at sub-light speed and rushed into the surging space-time node.
