"Ah! That spaceship came to find us, why did it explode on its own!"
"It must be Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou discovered that we were missing and sent out unmanned exploration ships to search for us."
"Definitely, Mr. Zhou is so powerful. If the Panshi lost contact for no reason, he will definitely be able to find out the reason."
"Hey, we are a bit unlucky. It would be great if we could encounter this spaceship! That would be great!"
…
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaozhi's report on the origin of the spacecraft, there was a "crash" and the entire flagship command room was boiling. Professor Yang Yi, Professor Smith, General Hiller and others all turned red and shouted excitedly.
For more than two hundred years, returning to the mother planet, the Earth, has been something that everyone has been dreaming about. The news from the Earth appeared in front of them like this. They were caught off guard. Everyone was stimulated by the news and lost control of their emotions.
"Xiaozhi, when did this spaceship explode? Did you find any useful information?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but tremble as he asked Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Commander, based on the recording time of the data, we set out to explore the time when the spacecraft exploded before the 81st Universal Standard Year. Due to the failure to successfully invade the core system of the spacecraft, the information obtained is very limited. According to the star map record of the spacecraft, it can be analyzed that this ship The spaceship was not born in the universe where the earth is, but entered our universe from another universe." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and replied.
"Another universe. In this way, the individuals in the universe are infinite." After hearing Zhou Xiaozhi's reply, Professor Smith was in high spirits and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Have you not found a method of contact or a technical direction for return?" Zhou Yu glanced at Professor Smith, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and asked nervously.
Now is not the time to care about these academic issues. Zhou Yu is eager to regret it now.
"Commander, if you can find the explosion debris of the spacecraft, you may be able to repair its communication module, and then contact other spacecrafts that are exploring us in this universe, and finally pass our news back." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and replied road.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at General Kerr on the command screen: "General, have you collected the wreckage of the self-destructing spaceship?"
"Yes, yes! They are all in the warehouse, but there are not many wreckage left." General Kerr nodded repeatedly and replied hurriedly.
"Xiao Zhi, take over the wreckage and start research immediately." Zhou Yu nodded and couldn't wait to give Zhou Xiaozhi an order.
"Yes, Commander." Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed.
Immediately, the human fleet accelerated in vain and rushed towards the planet of the Mu Xing clan.
In the flagship command room of the Mu Xing clan, everyone stared blankly at the rapidly approaching federal fleet on the command screen, with expressions of numbness and despair on their faces.
The central brain of the flagship has been invaded and they have lost control. Even if they want to fight back, it is impossible for them. The only hope is that human civilization will show mercy to them after they achieve their goals.
The fleet advancing at full speed spent two days invading the planet where the Mu Xing clan lived. The largest transport carrier in the fleet was the first to arrive near the planet. The defense hatch on the top opened by itself, and various small biomechanical creatures emerged from the huge mother ship. People swarmed out of the ship.
Giant bio-robots, bio-mechanical flying dragons, huge mechanical engineering flying cars... Various forms of bio-mechanical life emerged from the mothership one after another. They were strangely shaped, some were like long columns, some were like round tabletops, and some were long. With its wings... it was like building blocks, quickly integrated, and in a short time, a space parking port was built in space to welcome the arrival of the fleet.
When the fleet arrived, the spaceships of the home star clan automatically lined up in two rows, as if to welcome their masters. The Shepherd clan in the ship were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for their arranged fate with a worried heart.
After the biomechanical fleet arrived, they first began to accept the warehouses of the Mu Xing clan and store the materials of the wreckage of the self-destructing spacecraft.
Compared with returning to the mother planet of the earth, any scientific and technological information and everything have become unimportant. That kind of longing for hometown seriously troubles the older generation. As time goes by, this longing for falling leaves to return to their roots becomes heavier. This longing is Those that the new generation cannot understand.
Soon, the wreckage of the spacecraft was collected one by one, and Zhou Xiaozhi and a group of scientists worked hard to study it.
Pieces of wreckage were listed and classified into categories. Material testing, manufacturing process deduction, residual information screening, and the remains of communication equipment were the most important.
In the huge laboratory, scientists were working nervously. Zhou Yu, as well as a group of officers, stared at their busy work with extremely nervous and expectant expressions.
Time passed bit by bit, and before you knew it, three days had passed.
The study of the spacecraft wreckage has a structure, and the virtual model of the entire spacecraft has been completely restored by the laboratory, including the most important communication equipment.
On the experimental virtual platform, a beautiful spaceship floats quietly in mid-air.
"Professor, is it done? Can the communication signal be sent successfully?" Zhou Yu looked at the spacecraft model in front of him with bright eyes and asked Professor Smith.
"Commander, we have obtained the most important part of the communication instrument from the wreckage - the tunnel particle decoder. We can notify all the spacecraft of this model in the universe by generating tunnel particle broadcasts. I believe it will not take long before we can obtain the information from the earth." Got in touch." Professor Smith watched Zhou Yu report excitedly.
"Really? Are you sure there are other exploration spacecrafts in this universe?" Zhou Yu grabbed Professor Smith's shoulders and asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes. Based on the manufacturing process of this spacecraft, we are 100% sure that there are still a large number of such spaceships in this universe!" Professor Smith looked at Zhou Yu and nodded repeatedly in assurance.
Professor Smith looked at the spacecraft model and introduced to Zhou Yu: "Commander, you see, the design structure of this spacecraft completely ignores the attack system. The shape is designed to enlarge the detection range. The power output system is increased at the tail to strengthen Its flight speed and its construction materials are all made of titanium metal with a relatively simple atomic structure and relatively common materials... Combined with the total data, we can infer a problem. This kind of assembly-line manufacturing reconnaissance spacecraft does not need to be too long. It is very simple to produce trillions of spaceships in a short period of time.”
After a pause, Professor Smith continued to explain: "However, there is a problem, which stems from the pursuit of flight speed and detection efficiency. It is not surprising that this kind of exploration has a very secretive effect. Therefore, they were recruited by the Shepherd Clan. capture!"
"Professor, your statement is correct. However, I think the reason for the poor concealment effect is because Mr. Zhou needs them to spread out and then be noticed by us. Such a design is well-intentioned!" After listening to Professor Smith's explanation, Professor Yang Yi couldn't help but interrupt and remind.
"Yes!" Professor Smith smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhou Yu and reminded solemnly: "However, this has caused a very serious consequence. This kind of spacecraft has spread in countless universes. Just like lighthouses, they are bound to attract the attention of countless civilizations, so... once we contact them, it will greatly increase our chances of being discovered by other civilizations, and the consequences will be very terrible!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions, and the flagship command room suddenly fell into silence. Everyone was helpless to deal with this unsolvable problem.
Searching for their exploration spacecraft everywhere, blatantly and everywhere, the final result will definitely cause counter-pursuit by countless civilizations. However, various civilizations began to converge or discover each other, resulting in a series of chain reactions.
If they respond, the final result will definitely be the fate of being discovered by other civilizations.
A real-life example is right in front of us. After the Mu Xing clan was discovered by human civilization, they collectively fell due to lack of overall strength. Now their fate only depends on their thoughts. If human civilization is forced to discover a more powerful civilization, It is bound to fall into the same fate as the Mu Xing clan.
The universe is vast, and human civilization and the Shepherd family are still in their infancy compared with other civilizations. There are too many civilizations that are more powerful than them.
No one can guarantee whether those exploration spacecraft will be captured by other civilizations, or deciphered by other civilizations, so dialing up link communications to connect other spacecrafts carries a huge risk of seeking death.
In order to find them, Mr. Zhou indirectly caused big trouble to various intelligent civilizations!
Thinking of the trouble that a large number of exploration spacecraft might cause, everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Now, even if they get the spaceship, they don't dare to open communication easily, because there is no guarantee that the civilization that feeds them information will not be the earth's civilization.
"Is there no other way? Dad's ideas have always been thoughtful, so he shouldn't have left such a big loophole, right?" Zhou Yu quickly reminded him, looking at the frowning crowd.
Hearing this, everyone's spirits were shaken, and their faces showed signs of sudden realization.
"Yes, the person who developed this exploration project must be Mr. Zhou. How could he leave such a big loophole?" Professor Smith nodded with deep understanding.
"Did we miss something? Or maybe Mr. Zhou set up a backup plan." Yang Yi guessed with delight.
"There can be no mistakes or omissions! Most of the entire spacecraft has been deduced and restored by us. Those problems that cannot be solved are all the original customized orders of the 'Intelligence Brain', and we have no way of knowing it!"
"All civilizations have been alarmed. I can't think of any backup plan to deal with such a situation!"
"It's difficult! How does Mr. Zhou resolve this contradictory ending?"
"What will happen if this spaceship discovers us? Will Mr. Zhou and the others come back to pick us up?"
…
Regarding Zhou Yu's question, everyone began to speculate. As for whether to contact the exploration spacecraft, it was not easy to come to a conclusion for a while.
Seeing the scientists helpless, Zhou Yu was equally worried. This was no longer a scientific research issue, but a gamble. If they won the bet, they could go home easily. If they lost the bet, they might be discovered and eliminated by other civilizations. .
The price was very terrible. Zhou Yu was hesitant and didn't know how to make a decision.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked for help: "Xiaozhi, is there any way to avoid our current predicament, such as making stellar weapons to threaten the discovery of our civilization, or using other means to contact the exploration spacecraft and allow They can't find us?"
"Commander, after Xiaozhi invaded the brain of the Mu Xing clan, he found that the Mu Xing clan only mastered semi-finished stellar weapons and did not pose a threat to super civilization!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and replied.
"Well! I was deceived by them!" Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and continued to ask: "What about other ways?"
"Other methods, Xiaozhi suggested that the Mustar civilization implement the plan to link communication, and then we hide and observe the outcome after they link communication. However, if we encounter a super civilization, we still have an unknown risk of being discovered!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at it Looking at Zhou Yu, he replied.
"Let the Shepherd family replace us! This is a good idea!" Professor Smith's eyes lit up, he looked at Zhou Yu and said excitedly: "Commander, just do this! Other methods will definitely not work!"
"I also agree to do this. Only by contacting the exploration spacecraft can we discover the arrangements prepared by Mr. Zhou." Professor Yang Yi looked at Zhou Yu and said in agreement.
Zhou Yu's eyes swept around everyone's faces and found that everyone had a look of urgency on their faces, as if they would rather risk being discovered to contact the exploration spacecraft.
Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at the exploration spacecraft on the holographic screen, with a struggling look on his resolute face. Contacting other exploration spacecraft was an extremely risky thing. Thinking rationally, as the commander-in-chief of human civilization, he could not Risking the lives of more than a billion people, but from an emotional point of view, Zhou Yu was really reluctant to give up this opportunity to return to the earth, reunite with his family, and return to his roots.
Time passed bit by bit, and everyone looked at Zhou Yu quietly, waiting for his decision habitually.
"Xiao Zhi, is there any way to develop the finished product of that stellar weapon? Also, how many of those technologies can be immediately promoted and applied?" Zhou Yu seemed to have figured out something, and looked at Zhou Xiaozhi to break the silence and ask.
"Commander, the stellar weapon used by the Mu Xing clan is a 'tachyon' weapon. It uses the annihilation ability of this weapon to collapse the star, affects the stellar force field, and ultimately achieves the purpose of causing the star to explode. This stellar weapon We lack large-scale 'tachyon' storage devices and large-scale energy conversion devices. These are core equipment and we do not have the production capacity! As for other technologies, there are 725 important technologies..." Zhou Xiaozhi watched Zhou Yu report in detail.
Listening to the question and answer between Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiaozhi, everyone was stunned and didn't understand why he would change the topic at this time.
