"You have a good idea!" When Amy returned to the bridge, she happened to see Alex playing "boomerang" - after the computing stick was thrown, it made a full circle around the bridge, and then

Flying back to the hand. "Is this harmful?"

"It's lethal, but it's not the same as waving it with your hands, so it's just for fun." Alex took back the computing stick and hung it back on his waist. "I suddenly had an idea while I was resting, and I wanted to take a look.

How powerful is the deformation ability of the computing stick?"

"The computing stick is a good weapon, but the purpose of the battle of the Composite Evolutionary is to solve the problem from a distance as much as possible." Amy held her neck and stretched her muscles, and then asked: "Ming Ming, how are you doing here?"

"Everything went well. I compiled an explanation and sent it to the projection screen so that I don't have to explain it every time. Oh, the starship in contact started to slow down and it said it would stop at a distance of 100 light seconds from us."

"In our galaxy, civilizations other than composite evolved humans generally use 1,000 light seconds as a safe distance and send quantum entangled communication satellites to each other as messengers - 100 light seconds is a bit close." Amy said: "Maybe it's their weapon.

The system is relatively backward, and they believe that it is impossible to carry out an attack that destroys instantly in 100 light seconds. Another possibility is that they trust their own shields very much, even more confident than the people in our galaxy."

"When facing an unknown civilization, the reason for believing in shield capabilities is untenable." Alex shook his head and said, "Wait for everyone to come over and learn about the updated information, and then we will go meet them.

That Alien Association."

Going to the Alien Association was the result of some careful thinking. Alex himself did not trust this inter-civilizational interstellar organization. He did not like the relationship between interstellar civilizations ruled by the Composite Evolutionary People, and he hated the Trade Alliance deeply, even if it was based on the past.

The Native Guardian Alliance, which was based on gravity catapults, did not leave much of a positive impression on him. Moreover, he had already vaguely understood what kind of organization the Alien Association was. It basically monopolized the access rights to the entrances and exits of the giant continent as its core, and then used them to exploit

Manipulate technology or economic interests.

He is a lone ranger, and his only disqualification is that he cannot bear loneliness. If possible, he would like to use the Liuma to explore the giant continent alone. But this continent is too big, and Xiaoxiao's airflow analysis method cannot theoretically

Problem, but there are huge implementation difficulties. The gas is affected by its composition, density and pressure and other parameters, which will produce a physical phenomenon called the sound barrier. If the little fox's airflow detector wants to receive information with reference value, then the speed of movement

It must be much smaller than the speed of sound, otherwise the interference caused will destroy the data. If the speed of sound is used to detect this giant continent, it will be impossible within hundreds of thousands of years.

"Sorry Xiaoxiao, your plan can only be suspended. Unless we have the ability to manufacture tens of millions of wind direction detectors and spread them evenly over the giant continent, we cannot afford this time."

"It's okay, Captain, I thought about this problem after taking a nap." The little fox stuck out his tongue.

Since the captain decided to go to the Alien Association to learn about the situation, everyone needs to know the information about the Alien Association. Ming Ming explained the information currently available to everyone in detail, and combined the "lingua franca" of this galaxy with the composite evolutionary human language.

The mutual translation program was created.

"Based on the faceless man's self-repair information, I extracted a design drawing of the communicator, which will be produced by a printer." Ming Ming said: "A set of three small discs with a diameter of two millimeters, two of which are affixed separately.

At the position of the skull near the ear, one is attached to the center of the eyebrow or between the eyebrows. It can collect the surrounding sounds, strengthen the speech in the direction directly opposite the forehead, and then transmit the translation results to your ears. There is a base station card in your pocket, so that everyone

They can also communicate with each other. I will constantly update the language library to make the translation smoother and more accurate."

"Make a copy of the dictionary and I will read it directly with my brain control body." Amy said: "I don't want to deal with people in this galaxy. If possible, I won't leave the starship. The communicator is of no use to me."

"It's not sinking anyway, just pretend." Alex thought that Amy had been depressed for a while, so he wanted her to go out for more walks. "Sister, if you need to leave the ship, don't worry and let me go."

Are you going? I really need your experience in dealing with other civilizations."

"Since you said so, then give me a set. However, the dictionary library still needs to be made into a version that can be used by brain-controlled bodies."

"That's no problem." Ming Ming nodded and said, "It would be best if we can contact the Alien Association without leaving the Flowing Horse."

The Flowing Horse is the foundation of everyone and the guarantee of escape. Although the latter statement may sound a bit discouraging at first, in the unknown universe, being able to escape equals an infinite future. How many civilizations envy this ability to escape?

Especially when the Composite Evolutionary destroyers aim their main guns at the sun of their system.

"Sail at warp speed 4.7, bypass the giant continent, and reach this area." Alex decided to keep part of the sailing ability secret, just a little higher than what the other party showed. "The first thing to investigate next is them

With respect to space navigation capabilities, an association of interstellar civilizations cannot only rely on low warp speed to maintain, I think they will have something like a gravity catapult."

"Maybe it's at the Alien Association." Amy put her hands behind her head, her feet naturally resting on the console. "I really want to know what they can build..."

Shortly after this passage occurred, the Flowing Horse changed direction, accelerated very lightly, and entered the warp flight state. It did not need to switch back and forth between the warp speed and sublight speed states, except when bypassing the giant continent.

When turning, you need to temporarily break away from warp speed, but it is controlled rather than forced.

When they came to the other side of the giant continent, the gravitational wave radar became a lot more lively, and everyone realized that they had just gotten into an uninhabited corner. About four hundred starships of various sizes were concentrated in the center of the giant continent.

positions, separated by a certain distance from each other, floating quietly.

"Look, the gravitational waves here are very abnormal. Their intensity is no less than that of an exploding white hole." Amy is the person most sensitive to these detection data on the ship. She quickly zooms in on an area of ​​the gravitational wave radar and displays the image.

Show it to everyone.

Located in the center of the giant continent, at the "entrance" marked by the Alien Association, a special gravitational phenomenon caught everyone's attention. With the naked eye, it was a white beam of light rising from the giant continent, its brightness was about the same as the sun at noon.

, about 1.314 light-years in length. It connects the solid ground with the vast dark universe, and its position can be easily determined from any position on this side of the giant continent.

"Look! There is something at the top of the light beam, it seems to be an asteroid." Amy frowned looking at the detection results of the gravitational wave radar. "This is so strange. The planet seems to be very fragile and cannot be in the gravitational environment of the white hole.

It can still exist. Forget it, nothing is normal here..."

"You call that an asteroid? If the detection data is correct, the diameter of the 'thing' is only 200 meters. Isn't that too small?" Alex scratched his head hard and said: "Could it be a gravity radar?

Not sure? Let’s take a closer look!”

The Liuma started its warp speed and soon arrived at the periphery of many starships. These starships were sparsely distributed within a range of 0.2 light-years from the central "asteroid", whether it was from a cosmic scale or a giant continent as the background.

, this distance is actually not that far. And after getting closer, Alex discovered that there are many micro-communication satellites that are stationary relative to the giant continent distributed in this area. The signal patterns they use are similar to those encountered by Liuma on the back of the continent.

That's the same.

"Welcome the new guests of Earth 86!" The gravitational wave signal came through the micro-satellite. There are many civilizations in this galaxy that call themselves Earth. According to the order in which they came to the Alien Association, Alex and the others were called Earth 86.

"Coming to this location has shown that you have a good willingness to communicate. We will send the frequency of the standard communicator as well as manufacturing and assembly methods to help improve communication efficiency. The gravitational wave communication channel is still open for guidance."

Next, before Alex could reply, the design began to be transmitted. "These people are very proactive. You can handle this design. First, check if there are any traps in it, and then give it to me. I will

Let’s analyze.” Alex turned to Amy and said, “Sister, what do you think of the level of these starships?”

"You can't tell, you are the expert in this field." Amy tapped the spherical rudder with her index finger and said to Alex: "Set me a new warp position. I will do it in eighty-five seconds.

Change position. Do you know what I mean?"

"Of course I understand. The captain's training materials teach that in order to test the opponent's intentions, avoid attacks by light speed and warp speed weapons - you can never fully believe that the gravitational wave radar can take care of all aspects of the starship." Alex

Said: "I think we are a little too passive. What do you think about the idea of ​​turning on the communication facilities on the ship to try to contact the surrounding starships directly?"

Amy nodded: "Yes. This is an option."

"Then I'll focus on communication control and leave the flight control to you - let's see what noise is around first." Alex quickly switched the console mode and assigned tasks at the same time. "Xiaoxiao and Padame, you two

Come here to record the information of the surrounding starships, as detailed as possible, maybe you can tell something from the appearance. Ming Ming, you are the guarantee of communication security, don't let those people peek into our secrets."

Not just the Flowing Horse, in fact every starship that comes to the Alien Association will do similar things. Self-protection is the first and perseverance, and enthusiastic communication is a dispensable add-on product. Alex uses

The external device function is connected to the core system of the Liuma, and the communication center function of the brain-controlled body is turned on at the same time, using the starship's antenna as one's own ears.

--- Found 17 groups of unknown encoding mode communications. The communication center can access it, but it will not be able to parse it based on your existing knowledge. After accessing, you will receive garbled codes or interfere with them. ---

--- Found a "Kun" coded communication group, and the communication center can be connected.---

"Quin?" Alex touched the back of his head, looked at everyone on the bridge, and then opened an encrypted communication line with Ming Ming: "Have you heard of Quinjet coding?"

"No." Ming Ming asked, "Why did you suddenly use the encrypted channel? You don't want others to know?"

"I analyzed a coding pattern that can be parsed from the surrounding signals, but I have never heard of it at all. I am sure that this is not the coding of composite evolved humans, so I suspect that it is something from the earth. Hmm... Shanhe

Part of the knowledge about the Shejihao or the Path of Creation is in my brain-controlled body, and perhaps Quinjet is one of them."

"Your suspicion is very reasonable. The only way to confirm is to connect in and look at the content." Ming Ming tilted his head slightly and looked at Alex: "You can send me the code and I will be your signal

Firewall."

"Thank you." Alex nodded, and then pulled Mingming into the communication center.

---Access to the target communication channel, "Kun"-style encoding, and analysis begins.---

The communication center began to lock on this communication and at the same time gave its source, which was the small planet at the top of the light beam. The content of the communication was the "lingua franca" of this galaxy. Some words exceeded the vocabulary of previous exchanges, but according to

By analyzing the context, one can guess the meaning. The carrier of the communication channel is electromagnetic waves, which propagate in the universe at the speed of light, so what Alex received was the content from some time ago. Considering that

At the distance of a small planet, this communication can only be listened to for the time being, and there is no need to reply. And once the electromagnetic wave is used to reply, it will definitely be received by other starships. What if the communication ability is exposed?

"Children of the stars, the fruits of the planet are about to mature, come and receive the rewards from the gods! The door of the temple is about to open, show your abilities in front of the gods! Under the favor of the gods, the starry sky will also show you

Bow down!"

Such sentences appear repeatedly, with different content inserted between the repetitions, mostly some scientific principles. This "Kun"-style coded channel is like preaching, especially the sentence with a strong sense of brainwashing mixed with some scientific theories.

A pattern. Alex filtered out the repeated sentences and looked at "Scientific Theory."

"It feels like there's something wrong with these theories. They don't match the theory of composite evolutionary humans! Ming Ming, can you analyze what stage they are in?"

"It's a bit like a wrong branch of the grand unified theory, but I'm not entirely sure." Ming Ming replied: "You also know, there are too many special cases here. Maybe on giant continents, these theories are correct; the further away,

The theory may collapse in these special cases, and you can refer to the regular distortion state near the black hole event horizon."

Alex nodded: "The small planet is near the white hole. It is a special case in itself. Even the theory of composite evolution cannot explain it, so the situation you mentioned is indeed possible. Hmm? Did you notice that it just appeared?

Did you get the message? It said that the prophets of heaven will appear in the near future, and the starships that can solve the puzzle will be blessed by the new world ball."

"New World Ball?!" Alex and Mingming sent this message in the encrypted channel at the same time.

They couldn't think of anything other than a soil ball that could be called a New World ball. Especially the word "New World" is just a translation based on simple common language. Its original meaning is probably "
