Chapter 1304 Ghost Signal (turn-based system is still suitable for me)
Star Alliance, World God Galaxy, Inquisition Space Station.
"Huh..."
Zhen Ji Ling walked out of the room, stretched, and shook his ears and tail.
"It feels a bit boring to stay here all the time. I don't know when my eldest brother will take Kallen out to play together again."
While muttering to himself, Zhen Ji Ling flipped through the personal terminal at hand.
Thanks to the efforts of Zhenjiling, the Flash Series has now become the most famous event in Star Alliance. Many Star Alliance residents will come to the space station to watch the annual Flash Competition and cheer for the horse girls. From this point of view, Zhenji Ling's performance is quite good. Although Duanmuhuai's series of operations against the dark elves made the Star Alliance have a lot of resistance to the Tribunal, most people in the Star Alliance now There is still no resistance to the Inquisition.
In other words, from a diplomatic perspective, can we only go so far?
If Duanmu Huai gave instructions such as annexing the Star Alliance, then Zhen Ji Ling might use other means, but Duan Mu Huai just said that he would not care about it if he did not provoke the Tribunal, so Zhen Ji Ling could only act like This maintains a certain degree of diplomatic relations with the Star Alliance.
But this is also my job.
Thinking of this, Zhenjiling turned around and planned to go to the coffee shop to kill some time. At this moment, the conversation between two men standing in front of the vending machine across the corridor caught her attention.
"Are you still studying that strange signal?"
"Yes, to be honest, I think it is just something deliberately fabricated by some entertainment news. In fact, there is no such thing at all...the ghost signals are all made up to scare people."
"What do you think?"
"Maybe it's the radiation interference caused by the supernova explosion? Forget it, just treat it as an errand. By the way, do you know about the disappearance of the Quarian fleet?"
"Missing? Really missing?"
"Yes, our research institute has always been in contact with the Quarian fleet. They suddenly disappeared without a trace before, and we don't know where they went. Oh, by the way, there are also Jie on the Quarian home planet. Si also disappeared. It’s really strange.”
Quarians?
Hearing this, Zhen Ji Ling immediately pricked up her ears. She has been working in Star Alliance, so she naturally knows the situation of aliens here. The Quarians are one of them. They are humanoid creatures. Originally, the Quarians They lived on a normal planet, but later the AI designed by the Quarians rebelled and occupied their planet, and the Quarians had to leave their home and wander around the universe on battleships.
When the Inquisition fought against the Reapers, only the Quarians, who had no home and were wandering among the stars, barely escaped.
From a certain point of view, not having a home means that your home will not be robbed, which seems good?
After that, the Star Alliance family was the only one, but it had nothing to do with the Quarians. They still wandered among the stars, and occasionally sent people out to travel or buy some strange things back. Zhen Ji Ling has never seen the Quarians in the Inquisition's space station, and they seem unwilling to come to such a place.
And now they suddenly disappeared......
Thinking of this, Zhen Ling rolled his eyes and approached with a smile.
"Hello, two guests, did you have fun?"
"Ah, it's the cute Kallen-chan!"
The two men were stunned when they heard Zhenli's conversation. When they turned to look at the petite and cute Ma Niang in front of them, they suddenly showed expressions of excitement as if they were seeing an idol.
"That's right, it's Karen. Hello, guests."
"No, no, no, it's an honor for us to travel here... We had a great time, really!"
"That's good. So what were you two talking about just now?"
"Huh? This..."
"If you don't mind, can you tell Karen?"
Facing the real clever girl with full cuteness and aura, the two mortals had no way to resist.
So soon, Duanmuhuai received a report from Zhen Jiling.
"What's going on in the Star Alliance?"
Staring at Zhen Ji Ling on the other side of the screen, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised, but it didn't seem particularly surprising.
It has to be said that Zhen Ji Ling acted very quickly. After realizing that something was wrong, she immediately sent people to collect information. Although Zhen Ji Ling did not have a ruthless character like Lumière who could make waves online, However, the charm of "Kawaii Karen-chan" allows real Jiying to get the answer directly in person without going through the Internet.
After all, her charm is really strong, and she knows how to use it.
According to Zhen Jiling's investigation, a strange thing surfaced.
First of all, Starlink has received a strange signal some time ago. No one can tell clearly what the signal is. Moreover, the signal has been specially processed and is extremely concealed, making it impossible to trace the source. This signal itself has no impact on the Starlink. At best, it only brings a little noise and interference during super-light communication.
It's just that such a signal appeared out of nowhere, and it was encrypted, so it naturally required investigation.
The Star Alliance immediately suspected that it was the remnants of the Geth. After all, if you want to know who is the most powerful in the field of electronic encryption, then naturally the group of AIs such as the Geth should be the first.
But of course they couldn't go looking for the geth. After all, after the Reaper War, most of the geth were almost destroyed, and the two or three remaining kittens were missing. Although the Star Alliance has been searching, the star field is so big and the geth are robots. If you really want to be ruthless, there is no planet you can't stay on.
So the Star Alliance's pursuit has never yielded much.
They suspected that the signal was related to the geth, so the easiest way was to find their creators, the quarians.
Although the Quarians roam the world, their fleet is so large that it needs supplies and repairs. Even after the Reaper War, the Quarians suffered heavy casualties, but some of the fleet still survived. And their whereabouts are naturally under the control of Star Alliance.
As a result, when the Star Alliance sent people to seek help from the Quarians, they were surprised to find that the Quarian fleet was missing.
The reason why Zhen Ji Ling suspects that this incident is related to the signal is because the Star Alliance has a clear record of the date when the Quarian fleet was replenished. Judging from the last record, the Quarian fleet disappeared when the strange signal appeared. when.
Could it be that the Quarian fleet has something to do with this signal? "I knew these damn aliens were untrustworthy, and I should have killed them all."
Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.
"Where have they gone? The mass transmitter has been destroyed. They can only leave the galaxy through the star gate."
"According to Star Alliance investigation, Stargate does have records of the departure of the Quarian fleet, but their destination is a coordinate point in an unexplored area... Out of caution, Star Alliance dispatched the Normandy to track it."
"Any news?"
"Not yet."
Zhen Ji Ling shook her head. She was a civilian employee in the Tribunal and was not qualified to mobilize the army. In other words, the only ones Zhen Ji Ling could mobilize were the night guards and angels and monsters in her space station. Therefore, Zhen Ji Ling is not qualified to send the Inquisition fleet to search where the Quarians have gone. Only Duanmu Huai and Aikote have this authority.
"Hmm..."
Duanmuhuai touched his chin. Strictly speaking, this didn't seem to be a big deal, but the sudden disappearance of the Kuili fleet gave Duanmuhuai a bad feeling.
As a god, his intuition is pretty accurate most of the time.
"Give me the coordinates, and I will ask Ecott to send a reconnaissance fleet to see what those aliens are doing, and the signal... Well, Lumière should be able to solve it."
< br>
"Okay, big brother."
Facts have proved that some things really still need to be done by professionals.
Ten minutes after Duanmuhuai called Lumière, the latter had successfully deciphered the mysterious ghost signal.
However…………
"This seems to be some kind of calling signal. It is an adaptive type, so it cannot be captured accurately."
"Calling? Can you find the source of this signal?"
"Of course... Although the other party carefully passed through several layers of relays, the signal characteristics were still retained after all. I have locked the source of the signal."
"Oh? Where?"
Soon, a line of numbers that seemed familiar to Duanmuhuai appeared from Lumière's mouth.
"…………I seem to have heard this number before somewhere?"
"It's the place where the Quaili fleet went before...big brother."
Zhen Ji Ling was speechless. He had just explained it.
"Oh, by the way, that's right there. So sure enough, those aliens did something wrong."
Duanmu Huai patted his forehead.
"Titer————!"
However, at this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded, and at the same time, Lumière's expression changed slightly.
"What's going on?"
"The mysterious signal has been greatly enhanced!"
"Enhancement? What impact does it have?"
"Not yet, it seems to be just a simple communication signal... The communication records have been intercepted, waiting for me to decode..."
As she spoke, Lumière stretched out her hand and put it on the keyboard. Then Duanmuhuai saw lines of code quickly popping up on the screen in front of her - well, Duanmuhuai couldn't understand this thing. , but he doesn’t need to understand, he just needs the results.
"Decoding completed."
Lumière reached out and tapped on the keyboard. Soon, a data packet was opened, and intermittent text appeared inside.

What does Nima want to do?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, he directly issued an order.
"Get ready to go, I'm going to see what the hell it is!"
