What would a world full of machine life look like? There had been a lot of speculation before, but now, with more and more detectors approaching, finally, an alternative world is revealed in front of everyone. [Top][Point]Novel
The way these steel lumps obtain energy is obviously from stars; on their stars with a radius of ten light years, there are huge fortresses. These fortresses have sharp edges and corners, about hundreds of kilometers apart; and then each fortress will stretch out Get out a long straw! Obviously, they also have anti-gravity technology, otherwise they would not be able to stay near the star and would definitely fall into the star.
Yes, the way they obtain solar energy is completely different from that of humans. They actually directly insert their "sucking nozzles" into the stars and actively absorb the light and heat from the stars! Like a moth, parasitic around the star! They are "sucking" energy.
On the planets around many stars, as long as there is a solid surface, no matter what the environment is, there are mechanical life forms creating their own habitats!
These steel lumps don't pay attention to environmental protection. Scientists have discovered that there is a planet that makes people extremely speechless! The planet looks yellow, is about 210 million kilometers away from the star, and has an average surface temperature of minus 32 degrees. But when you get closer, you will find that the yellow color on the surface of the planet is actually pollutant gases, and they are highly toxic pollutant gases with extremely complex composition! Some are natural, but most are synthetic.
And in this environment, the planet has no liquids or oceans, and its surface is covered with a complete city! Yes, the entire surface of the planet is one city mixed together! And the city is neat and orderly. Full of life. Although it is a mechanical life, it is also colorful, ranging from small insects to human-sized upright walking robots to towering trees, etc., everything is available and colorful. If it weren't for the overly hard atmosphere and harsh natural environment, no one would have discovered at the first moment that this world turned out to be a world of steel!
But what makes people sober is that although their technology has been refined and developed well, and there are many bright spots, there is no shadow of space technology in it, so although they occupy a sphere of influence of ten light years. But the power isn't too great - there's no speed. There is no advantage in space!
And although the stars here are relatively dense, compared to those around the solar system, they are ultimately not as close to the Pearl Star Field as they are, barely reaching the outermost edge of the Pearl Star Field. The distance between stars is about 2 light years. therefore. Within ten light years. There are 66 star systems they occupy.
"One more thing," Li Jia continued to analyze various data, "all the data show that there are no later artificially built planets here. In other words, they have not yet mastered the planet transformation technology.
There are two possibilities for this. One is that I really didn't think of it; the other is that there is no need for these steel lumps to transform the planet. Look at this galaxy. ”
As he spoke, Li Jia called up a galaxy with the most complete shooting data.
I saw that this galaxy has a huge star, which is twice the size of the sun. There are 17 planets surrounding this star, including 4 huge gas planets; the rest are rocky planets. In this galaxy, the gas planets are in the interior and the rocky planets are in the periphery; the rocky planet closest to the star is already 1.5 billion kilometers away. The highest temperature on the surface of such a rocky planet is minus 133 degrees Celsius, and yet on such a planet, there are several sparse cities surviving on steel frames.
It can only be said that mechanical life is born with strong adaptability. Of course, whether there are other weaknesses remains to be studied; science is rigorous, it does not mean that when you see something, you just take it for granted, I think...how so...
As the detector approaches, the connection with local intelligent life becomes closer and closer, and the information obtained becomes more and more detailed. Finally, one day, the two parties can safely transfer pictures.
Everyone finally saw the first side of this native life for the first time. Although I had seen the shape of local intelligent life in the distance before, the universe was dim. Even if there were nebulae shining here, it was still dim; therefore, I did not see the specific shape, only an outline.
But now, I finally see what it really looks like.
Blue skin, pointed ears, yellow pupils, and four fingers, three long and one short, similar to Chinese fingers that lack a little finger, and the fingers are slender and look very dexterous; but they also look delicate. As for height, it is temporarily impossible to estimate because there is no obvious reference object with known size.
In fact, this kind of life itself looks very fragile. It is not known whether it is born like this or caused by the harsh environment. On the back of this picture is a dim world, with very little grass and trees on the ground, and the sky appears to be heavily polluted.
Among the civilizations that China has come into contact with, no matter what, they all have blue skies and white clouds, but at least clear skies are the basic condition. The sky here gives people the feeling of a heavy industrial city during the period of great development of the earth; but at this moment, the entire sky is like this. In such a situation, there may not even be enough food.
"Light?" It was the first time that Zhao Qingyun saw this intelligent life that had always been in contact with China. Of course, what you see now are photos.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Ming affirmed, "This is the person who contacted us. It is said that at this moment, this self-proclaimed goblin civilization has only less than 100 million people left, and they are scattered across various planets, among each other. Only encrypted radio waves can be used to communicate. It takes at least ten minutes to communicate between one planet and another. If it takes a sentence to go back and forth across galaxies, it will take at least a year. If there are too many galaxies, it may take more than ten years. < br>
In addition, the remaining members of the goblin tribe mainly live in underground caves, but they also control huge underground cities. And they can synthesize food through energy and protein; or they can survive by directly injecting nutrients into the blood.
Among them, this planet, which is connected to us here, is a city called light; and the representative of this city is this light. Guangming is a legacy title. In other words, anyone who sits on the seat of the city lord of Guangming City is called Guangming.
The meaning is to bring light to the fairies. ”
"Hmm..." Zhao Qingyun looked at the photos and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Don't they live in caves? How come there are photos on the ground? And what is their energy source?"
Zhao Qingyun asked very pointedly, not that the question was very pointed, but that he asked several points very well. First of all, it doesn't mean that cave dwellers can't come to the ground; generally speaking, you have to be conservative when you first meet, and even if you have to give pictures of the ground, you don't have to be like this. Put yourself in danger. Technology has developed to a certain extent. There are no dead ends on the ground! All under surveillance.
The second issue is energy. No matter what civilization it is, energy is the core. The energy source of agricultural civilization is food, etc., and the spiritual energy of the spiritual world is etc. And the energy sources of science and technology society are even more diverse; but no matter what. There must be a source of energy.
"This is simple." Yan Ming said without any hesitation. "The signals we can transmit are limited after all, and we need to prevent them from being intercepted by mechanical life; therefore, we combined the ground pictures and photos. In addition, their energy should be nuclear energy; this one involves their core, so it is inconvenient to ask .
There is also their food. For the sake of concealment, they do not grow a large amount of food on the ground. They only use artificial light to cultivate some plants underground. But the main food is synthetic; the cultivated plants are mainly used as expensive reward items.
At present, this civilization has entered a critical moment of life and death. Over the years, the population has begun to show negative growth. Two bases on their planet have been breached, and hundreds of thousands of people have been plundered and killed!
Also, now that their base has been discovered, they want to ask us if we can support it. ”
"Hey..." At this time, Zhao Qingyun could only sigh and could not say anything. What can be said? The machine went out of control and eventually the two parties exchanged positions, which was entirely their own fault. But now, it is still saved. The civilization itself that can develop such mechanical life is not simply worth the attention of China at the very least.
"What kind of support do they want? We are at least 20 light years away from them, and even if we send spaceships, etc., it will be difficult to get past the defenses if they are small. And if the mechanical life is alerted, many of our early plans will be Give up; the gain is not worth the loss.”
"Your Highness, I think we can give them a small detector that uses space technology to carry enough energy blocks. With the current technological gap between us, just giving them 1,000 small energy blocks will be enough as long as they are not consumed by war. Keep their city running at full power for ten years
Now our purple energy blocks are only ten centimeters in size, and 1,000 energy blocks, plus some fixtures, are less than 1.2 cubic meters. With some energy guidance devices, it will not exceed 10 cubic meters. All this is enough in one watch space. And a small detector, using quantum and space stealth technology, is enough to reach the ground safely.
With energy, it would be enough to keep them safe for the time being. ”
"Yeah. Okay, you ask them to send the receiving location, and I'll let the military arrange it. You can't play with such a secret detector." Zhao Qingyun agreed immediately. A standard energy block is of course very expensive, but that is for citizens; and for such an interstellar expedition team, or even a regular army, that's all. For a spacecraft to fly 1,500 light years, it consumes tens of thousands of energy blocks; during war, one shot of the main gun requires more than half an energy block; some attacks with original energy consume a large amount of energy blocks for one shot. Scale energy blocks - generally 20 centimeters, or even larger.
Of course, the subsequent contact was very fast, and even the face of the representative of Guangming City of the Fairy Tribe, "Guangming", was obviously happy. Although they are still wary of the arrival of Chinese civilization, they are already at the end of their rope, and it would be great to be rescued!
In fact, they had begun to despair before, but the arrival of China allowed them to truly see the "light". (To be continued...)
