Chapter 562: Chapter 563 The Incompetent Loser
"Is the antimatter still good?"
A leaping creature anchored near the antimatter giant asked, which then attracted an impatient reply from the other party.
"What's the hurry? Don't you know that this is the most troublesome strategic resource in the ethnic group? There is still plenty of time to wait quietly.
"Oh."
Twenty-one years have passed since the collectors finally replied to the Carter people. At this time, planets still exist in this star system, but there are only a few lonely solid cores floating in the universe, like a poor girl stripping naked by hooligans.
In the composite channel built by the life field and the radio, collectors browse a strip of resource information.
"Metal hydrogen... has sufficient resources."
"The proton lattice... is well-resourced."
"Solid helium...sufficient resources."
"Ammonia hydrate... there are sufficient resources."
"Heavy water...sufficient resources."
...
"Anti-matter... out of stock."
After browsing all the resource information, the collectors fell into thinking.
"The star track has been built for a long time, and we can start with anti-material resources."
"Antimatter giants are already producing at full power, and it's only a matter of time to replenish resources."
"If I had known that I would not have run 23 light years in one breath, sooner or later, we could get antimatter resources from the same family of neighboring star systems."
"There is no point in complaining about this kind of thing, because it has happened."
With the initial lead, more and more collectors will take a larger-scale interstellar voyage, which is very risky, but worth it. The experience after the voyage will be an extremely valuable intellectual wealth of the ethnic group.
However, these collectors are still worse than the beginning, because at this point in time, the cluster voyage led by Chu has reached 30 light years and is challenging the 40 light-year interstellar voyage.
At a certain point in time, some collectors observed more than 1,000 bright stars outside the star system, which showed obvious signs of blue shift. This is the luminosity change caused by the compression of the frequency of light under the Doppler effect, indicating that these luminous bodies are approaching the position of the observer at a very high speed.
"They are coming!"
The collectors were excited. This was the reinforcement of the ethnic group.
When these leap creatures are close enough to the star system colonized by the collectors, the collectors send a powerful radio message through the star.
"Welcome to this stellar system."
"This is your rail route."
Following the route planned by local collectors into orbit, the leap creatures from afar took the lead in asking for information about the new civilization.
Although during the interstellar communication, the collectors have sent as much detailed information they can to their peers 23 light-years away, but the information will inevitably be misunderstood. For example, the Arabs wrote a '3', the British will think it is 'E' when they see it, and the Chinese will think it is 'mountain' when they see it. Even the same language will have a wrong understanding.
In order to confirm the information, it is necessary to verify several times to eliminate misunderstandings, but on a large scale of 23 light years, it will take 46 years to get information back and forth, not to mention several times, at least more than 100 years.
"You have found something good. Do you have a detailed understanding of that civilization?"
"It is preliminarily judged that the civilization of mastering star resources may be at the same level as the Selin people and is a civilization that requires the vigilance of the ethnic group."
After receiving the reply, the Leap Forward creature continued to ask.
"So what is the number of our clusters?"
"Add your words to be about 1,500."
"With such a small number, why do you think you can deal with such a strong enemy as the empire?"
The leap creatures who came to support can only make judgments based on intelligence without knowing it, and they will prepare for the worst according to their habits.
That is to say, the strength of the new civilization will be as tricky as that of the empire, and it initially has the ability to destroy stars, but there is no interstellar colonization."We are just the first cluster to determine the combat effectiveness and technical level of the other party. If we are eliminated, there is a reason for large-scale resource mobilization."
Also according to the tradition of collectors and with the worst intentions, collectors who know little about Carter are regarded as rivals of the empire when they learn that the other party has at least the use of star resources.
As for the ability to destroy stars, they have not yet reached a conclusion and are ready to consider these after the initial test.
The way to test is very simple. About 1,500 of their jumping creatures arrive at the star system where the civilization is located to fight. If they can survive, they send back the actual test information. Twenty years after departure, if there is no information, the biological cluster will be destroyed by default, which also means that the alien civilization The technical level is at a very high level, at least capable of destroying 1,500 fully armed leap-advance creatures, which requires high ethnic vigilance.
"So that's it."
The reinforcements who figured out these did not express any objection, and it is natural to dedicate themselves to the ethnic group.
While local collectors exchanged other information in the group with distant reinforcements, collectors who have been observing the direction of the Carter mother star report on the channel.
"That alien civilization sent another message."
"Translate and have a look."
The information is translated quickly, and after the translation of the text is completed, such translation becomes simple.
[Amoeba civilization, when you receive this information, we have made full preparations to enter a high-power sending satellite into orbit at a distance of 45 billion units from the star. With the help of the star's gravitational waves, the satellite's signal radiation distance will reach a hundred light years away. Please give up going to our constant immediately. Star, let your fleet turn around, and we will spend ten years waiting for your reply. When your timing comes to the eleventh year, whether you choose to be silent or other delays in information, we will immediately send a message of the destruction of our civilization to the universe.
"What are they going to do? I don't understand."
"It should be to deter us in this way."
Collectors who understand the content of the information explain to their peers.
"How to deter?"
The collector thought for a moment and asked.
"Try to think about it, civilization A attacked civilization B, and civilization B sent out the reasons for its attack and the murderers who attacked them before the attack. This information is learned by C civilization, so what will C civilization think?"
"A civilization is a big threat and needs to be vigilant."
Of course, since civilization A can destroy civilization B, it is normal to destroy civilization C. If civilization does not want to be destroyed, it must be vigilant, even against civilization A. Collectors who give top priority to the existence of ethnic groups will inevitably take such actions after obtaining information.
"Yes, this method will enhance the effect with the increase of the number of alien civilizations, especially after confirming that B civilization does attack, civilization A will certainly become a target."
A few simple sentences can answer the complex questions. Carter civilization wants to use this to make collectors avoid rats and dare not act recklessly. As long as there is a second high-tech alien civilization within a hundred light years of their star system, such information is deterrent.
"It's interesting, but it's a pity..."
"Well, it's really a pity that such a strategy is meaningless to us."
Collectors dedicated to finding alien civilizations are very aware of the scarcity of alien civilizations. Within this 100 light-year range, there is no high-tech alien civilization at all, otherwise Amoeba would have established diplomatic relations with it.
Almost five years have passed since then, and I have been able to accurately reach the eleventh year when the information was sent and could not wait for any reply message from the Amoeba civilization.
Dopps. Stein, the third commander-in-chief of Carter civilization, fell.
"Mr. Dopps, what's wrong with you?"
The assistant beside him shouted in panic.
"Heart...the heart is not very good, I feel... uncomfortable..."
"Hospital, ambulance, come here! Call an ambulance!"
In the hospital bed, the old man, who brought knowledge of mass and energy equations, nuclear warships, relativity and so on to Carter's civilization, held his assistant's hand tightly.
"Are you feeling better?"
The assistant asked with concern, while Dopps replied with a bitter smile.
"Son, I'm sorry, I'm an incompetent loser."
