…
The long river of time is flowing, and human civilization is developing with each passing day. The "jewel" in the crown of human civilization - the City in the Sky has more than doubled in size compared to two years ago. The aircraft coming and going from all over the world are like dense swarms of bees. Coming and going in good order.
The "Top of Civilization" in the final center of the Sky City is the target that everyone looks up to. Everyone who enters the Sky City has a pilgrimage when they see the tallest building in the world.
The achievements of human technological civilization today are closely related to the person at the top of civilization.
On the top floor of the Civilization Summit - the Space Observation Room, Zhou Xing and a group of scientific researchers are conducting an intense observation experiment. The huge holographic screen displays the images of several giant instruments suspended in space.
"The location of Tunnel Machine No. 2 has been determined, the location of Tunnel Machine No. 3 has been determined... The location of Tunnel Machine No. 7 is unknown."
"Mr. Zhou, signal No. 7 has disappeared, and the Clairvoyance in this star field cannot detect its location."
"Is there something wrong with the annunciator?"
"Mr. Zhou, what should I do?"
"Mr. Zhou, the project can still proceed without the participation of Tunnel Machine No. 7."
“…”
The other tunnel machines determined their positioning and successfully established link communications. However, the No. 7 space tunnel machine was nowhere to be seen, and the "View" project was "unsuccessful". Everyone looked at Zhou Xing, waiting for his order.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked, "Xiaozhi, can you deduce the cause of the failure of Unit 7?"
"Boss, based on current data analysis, the most likely possibility for No. 7 is that the cold atom locator malfunctions, or there is force field interference in the star field." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
"Well, if the cold atom locator fails, how long will it take to complete its self-repair?" Zhou Xing's face darkened and he asked Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Boss, the cold atom locator is an extremely precision component. If it fails, the repair time of the nanorobot is expected to take 1-8 months." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
The irregular thermal motion of atoms is a huge obstacle to precise measurement. Cold atom technology is to approach the extreme freezing temperature of atoms to absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius) to form stable cold atoms and create ultra-high-precision atom positioning instruments.
However, once something goes wrong with this high-precision instrument, even if it is equipped with a nanoscale intelligent repair robot, repairing it will require "slow work and careful work".
With less than a year left for the mission, Zhou Xing's face darkened and he waved his hands quickly: "It's too late, prepare to implement the 'View' project!"
The "View" project uses the Miracle Gate to send several space tunnels to other star fields, control them in a "broiler" manner through pre-implanted intelligent programs, network them together, and launch reconnaissance into the star fields where interstellar wars broke out. Measurement.
"Okay, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and immediately remotely controlled the tunnel machine of the "Clair Eye" to enter the energy storage state.
Immediately, the staff in front of the space monitoring room operation desk entered a tense working state.
"The energy storage of 'Clair Eye' has been completed."
"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3... The star field coordinate positioning of the nine tunnel machines has been completed, and the tunnel communication network link is normal."
"Tunnel signal reception is normal."
"The terminal tunnel machine monitoring star field positioning is completed."
“…”
In the space monitoring room, the busy staff reported the status of the instruments one after another, with extremely nervous expressions. This was the first time they had prepared to monitor extraterrestrial civilizations.
There was a tense atmosphere at the scene.
What happened to the monitoring results this time? Is that fierce interstellar war over? If alien civilizations discover human beings' "peeping" actions, will they retaliate? …
All kinds of questions popped up in everyone's mind, and their faces turned pale with nervousness.
"Boss, on the Clairvoyance, the energy storage of the terminal tunnel machine has been completed, and you can start 'looking out'." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and asked for advice.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing took a deep breath, stared at the big screen and said, "Start 'looking'."
"Understood, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi responded. Immediately, a set of light signals was launched into the sky from the transmission tower at the top of civilization.
The Clairvoyance orbiting the earth in low-Earth orbit suddenly shook, and a powerful laser beam suddenly shot out. The laser beam condensed in the space more than ten meters away. The powerful laser beam condensed for several seconds, and a black hole with a diameter of nearly one meter suddenly appeared. Appears at the end of the energy beam.
Soon, the mysterious veil of the distant star field appeared on the large holographic screen.
"Hiss!" The huge monitoring hall responded with a sound of air-conditioning.
The holographic screen showed a messy interstellar battlefield, broken planets, kilometers-long battleship wreckage, huge battleship fragments, densely packed, endless... They were attracted by the gravity of the star, forming a metal belt, flowing slowly.
"Oh my God! It's terrible!"
"It's too tragic. Why do you have to fight like this? Is it worth it?"
"Where's the spherical fortress! Why is it missing?"
"Look at this battleship, it seems to be moving."
"Where is it? Did you see it wrong?"
"It's dead. No one can move."
“…”
In the huge space monitoring room, exclamations continued. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, their faces turned pale. They were frightened by the tragic interstellar battlefield, the huge wreckage of the alien battleship, the power of alien technology, and its terrifying combat power. arrive.
Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, his eyes dull, and his attention was elsewhere.
"System, can you settle tasks in advance?" Zhou Xing asked the auxiliary system in his mind.
"Host, the task time limit has not yet expired. You have not completed the task. Early settlement of the task will determine the task as failed. Do you want to continue submitting?" The system reminded Zhou Xing coldly and ruthlessly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's face changed drastically, and he asked loudly: "The universe is eternal, how can it be so easy to find problems? There is something wrong with your 'task' setting, and it is impossible to complete it."
"Host, you still have one year to complete the task. Please continue to work hard." The system encouraged Zhou Xing.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was overjoyed. The system's words indirectly confirmed his direction in completing the task.
Zhou Xing was overjoyed. After he regained consciousness, he immediately ordered everyone: "Quick, continue to 'look out' and observe the conditions of nearby stars."
"Boss, if you do this, once the opponent's home planet is detected, there will be more than 65% chance of being discovered." Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xing.
"I know, but the mission can be completed." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly and said solemnly: "Xiaozhi, please be careful. Once that happens, disconnect the tunnel link immediately."
"Okay, boss." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded. As long as it did not violate its core principles, Zhou Xiaozhi would always obey Zhou Xing's instructions.
The technicians in the space observation room couldn't understand how Zhou Xing could complete the mission. They were already attracted by the interstellar battlefield on the holographic screen. What's more, Zhou Xing was their boss, so they would do whatever he asked. What.
The fighting power of the two alien civilizations is extremely terrifying. The interstellar battlefield has affected the entire star system. The planets orbiting the stars are more or less in disaster, making it impossible for life to exist.
Soon, the tunnel machine controlled by Zhou Xiaozhi locked on the galaxy near the star system and prepared for observation.
"Boss, the galaxy closest to the interstellar battlefield is 6.5 light years away. The No. 9 tunnel machine successfully locked onto the target of this galaxy." Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xinghui.
Soon, a strange galaxy appeared on the holographic screen, with two extremely bright stars.
"Why two galaxies?" Zhou Xing looked at the holographic screen and asked strangely.
"Yes, boss, it is a physical double star." Zhou Xiaozhi confirmed.
A binary star system is a system of two stars that appear to be very close together relative to other stars.
There are many types of binary stars. One star moves around another star and has a gravitational effect on each other, which is called a physical binary star. There are also two stars that appear to be very close to each other, but are actually very far apart. This is called an optical binary star. There are also binary stars that are not only very close to each other, but also have material flowing from one sub-star to the other. They are called close binaries.
Maybe the clues to the system's mission are in this galaxy. Zhou Xing's spirit perked up, and he couldn't wait to order Zhou Xiaozhi: "Start 'Looking'."
"Understood." Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and immediately transmitted the command to the terminal tunnel monitoring machine through the link network composed of the tunnel machine group.
In the space observation room, everyone held their breath and looked nervously at the holographic screen. The truth was about to be revealed, what kind of alien civilization it was, and what caused this tragic interstellar war.
Ten minutes later, a group of clear photos of the binary star system suddenly appeared on the holographic screen. The highly sensitive tunnel astronomical telescope captured the close-up photos of all the stars in the entire binary system one by one, and then quickly transmitted the data through the "tunnel network". Return to Earth.
"Boss, the Dark Zerg tribe was discovered." Zhou Xiaozhi said suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, a dark green planet appeared on the holographic screen.
"What?" Zhou Xing's eyes bulged and he stared at the holographic screen.
I saw huge, densely packed mushroom cloud-like objects floating on the surface of the dark green planet. Zhou Xing immediately recognized their identities. They were giant insect motherships.
"How could this be? How could they be there? Is this a great discovery?" Zhou Xing was stunned and asked absentmindedly.
"Boss, we found a group of wormhole 'detection bug shadows' and suggest that all tunnel machines be abandoned and no longer be used for tunnel linking." Zhou Xiaozhi continued to remind Zhou Xingdao.
Immediately, a green shadow appeared in the holographic screen, and the image was blurred. It was obviously captured at high speed.
"Boss, this green shadow is a close-up picture taken by Tunnel Machine No. 9 when it opened the wormhole. It flew towards the wormhole at a speed close to sublight speed, so it is impossible to take a clear picture." Zhou Xiaozhi answered Zhou Xing's question.
Another kind of bug? Approaching sub-light speed, Zhou Xing felt a chill all over. This Dark Zerg is simply haunting!
"Have we been discovered by them?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi nervously.
"The situation is unknown, but Tunnel Machine No. 9 must have been discovered." Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and replied.
"Boss, the Dark Zerg have a teleportation stargate. Once they discover the coordinates of the earth, human civilization will be in a very dangerous situation. Xiaozhi suggests building a large interstellar fleet and conducting interstellar voyages to avoid crises." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.
"Didn't we use broilers? They couldn't find us so quickly!" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment and couldn't give up.
The earth is the mother planet of human existence. Zhou Xing has never thought about the idea of going on an interstellar voyage to avoid the threat of the Darhk Zerg.
"Boss, the Dark Zerg have ultra-long-range detection species. The role of the tunnel network cannot guarantee that we will not be discovered." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reminded.
"I know, let me think about it again." Zhou Xing nodded with his head as big as an ox, and then asked Zhou Xiaozhi puzzledly: "Since there is the Dark Zerg in that galaxy, what happened to that interstellar battle? Why wasn't it with Dark? A war to defeat the Zerg tribe!"
"Boss, there is insufficient data to draw a conclusion. However, the spherical fortress may also be controlled by the Dark Zerg." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
"Impossible! This is too..." Zhou Xing could not accept Zhou Xiaozhi's guess.
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and solemnly reminded: "Boss, your mission should be completed. The Dark Zerg may contain a lot of secret information, and it may know it."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing perked up. By the way, what is going on with the Great Scientist Assistance System? Why does it know that the Dark Zerg is there, and the goal of the mission is also to observe the Dark Zerg? Why on earth is this
Zhou Xing closed his eyes and called the system impatiently: "System, can I settle the task in advance now?"
"Host, allow early settlement..."
"SS main mission: The great discovery of the universe. Mission completion conditions: explore one or more great discoveries that change human understanding of the universe. Mission period: 10 years. Mission reward: a colorful treasure box and a mysterious gift box. Mission failure penalty: Deduction of 50% for the affected target.”
(Task tip: Host, under your leadership, human civilization has entered the intermediate level of planetary civilization. However, human civilization’s understanding of the universe is still stuck in the last century. Now as a great scientist, you must change this situation. Tell them the truth quickly!)
"Host, congratulations on discovering the existence of the dangerous race of Dark Zerg, completing the main mission: the discovery of the universe, and receiving the mission reward: a colorful treasure box and a mysterious gift box."
Listening to the series of reminders from the system, Zhou Xing's eyes flashed: "Sure enough, where are you from..."
