Chapter 594 Long-term Plan
Because this state of consciousness jumping actually consumes a huge amount of energy.

Even Ning Chen could not maintain this state for a long time, and had to return his consciousness to his body to recover his energy.

Therefore, although the amount of information Ning Chen has obtained about "space civilization" is still extremely limited, Ning Chen must hurry back.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen first entered the virtual space again, and then quickly used the virtual space as a medium to return to his body on Mars.

Perhaps because the robot civilization has not yet found a way to solve this problem, Ning Chen did not encounter any serious obstacles when entering the virtual space this time, which also allowed Ning Chen's high-dimensional quantum energy body to be successfully preserved.

After returning to his body, Ning Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was not completely satisfied with the amount of information he had obtained, overall, this space shuttle operation was still very successful.

Ning Chen not only successfully learned some information related to this "space civilization", but also successfully retained his own high-dimensional quantum energy body. This proved that the strategy previously formulated by Ning Chen and Song Xiyun was very effective.

Seeing Ning Chen's current condition, Song Xiyun also knew that Ning Chen should not have encountered any particularly abnormal situation this time.

"Ning Chen, our operation this time was considered successful, right? You can take a good rest first, and then tell me about it slowly."

After these lessons, Song Xiyun became much calmer and was no longer in a hurry for Ning Chen to "report" this information to her immediately.

Because all this information was viewed through Ning Chen's special perspective, Song Xiyun could not directly understand the information and could only understand the actual situation through Ning Chen's narration.

After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen did not remain silent for a long time this time, but immediately answered Song Xiyun's question.

"It's okay, Song Xiyun. Resting won't affect my ability to answer these questions. Just as you imagined, our operation this time was relatively successful. Let me tell you some good news first."

In the following time, Ning Chen told Song Xiyun about how he successfully used the virtual space to travel, learned some information about "space civilization", and successfully preserved his high-dimensional quantum energy body.

Upon hearing the news, Song Xiyun felt very happy because these results were basically the same as the best case scenario they expected.

"That's great. This 'space civilization' has not developed to the point where we cannot control it. As long as we can find the right method, we have every hope of competing with them. So... Ning Chen, what exactly are those bad news you mentioned?"

Song Xiyun knew that these objective facts were something they could not escape. Even though Song Xiyun did not want to hear the bad news in her heart, she still had to face the reality.

"The first piece of bad news is that this 'space civilization' has indeed discovered the barrier between the positive and negative matter universes, has destroyed this barrier, and has begun to collect antimatter in large quantities. If this trend continues, they may become the overlord of the entire universe and threaten the safety of all other civilizations in the universe..."

Hearing Ning Chen say this, Song Xiyun's face became heavy. Even though she was mentally prepared for this matter, when she confirmed that it was indeed the fact, Song Xiyun still found it difficult to accept it.

The threat level posed by this "space civilization" now far exceeds that of the alien civilization several light years away from the Blue Star civilization. They have obtained a large amount of antimatter energy and are like primitive people who suddenly obtained thermal weapons. The gap between the before and after is very obvious.

Moreover, this way of obtaining energy is like taking advantage of a bug in the game, and it is difficult for them to find an effective way to deal with it.

"Ning Chen...besides this bad news, is there any other bad news?"

"Of course." Ning Chen said with a wry smile.

"Then let's just say it all at once. Anyway, there is not much difference between one piece of bad news and several pieces of bad news for us."

"There isn't that much bad news. This is just something I'm more worried about. This time I was able to travel smoothly through the virtual space without my high-dimensional quantum energy body being destroyed. The main reason is that we changed the way the high-dimensional quantum energy body is placed in time, and did not leave enough research time for this robot civilization..."

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Song Xiyun immediately understood what Ning Chen wanted to express.

Ning Chen's success this time was mainly due to the fact that he caught the robot civilization off guard. However, with the robot civilization's powerful scientific research capabilities, the same method may not work next time.

"If we give this robot civilization enough time, I believe they will be able to find a new way to deal with it. Therefore, the next time we use virtual space to travel, we may need to adopt a new high-dimensional quantum energy body to avoid the attack of the robot civilization again..."

After Ning Chen finished speaking, Song Xiyun asked in a tentative tone:

"Ning Chen...Have you finished telling all the bad news this time?"

"Well, it's almost done. No matter what the actual situation is, we must face it and find the best way to deal with it. Facing the crisis that will occur throughout the universe, we must stand up and bravely shoulder the responsibilities on our shoulders."

Ning Chen's words may sound heroic, but in fact, the only people who are truly capable of handling this situation are probably the few people on Blue Star, including Ning Chen.

After all, the Blue Star civilization was the first to discover the "space civilization" and the fact that the "space civilization" was collecting a large amount of antimatter energy. If even the Blue Star civilization is indifferent to this, then it is very likely that no one else in the universe will provide support for this matter.

After having an extremely close experience with death, Ning Chen's thoughts on many things have changed. He no longer cares about those trivial matters, but he will not abandon any responsibilities that he should bear. Under Ning Chen's encouragement, Song Xiyun has also become a lot braver, and no longer has a very pessimistic mentality because of the difficulty of this matter.

"Ning Chen... I will definitely do my best to help you find a way to fight against this 'space civilization'. We can't let the universe we have been living in be destroyed by that 'space civilization'. For this, I am willing to bet everything I have."

In the following time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun analyzed the details of the incident together and formulated a plan to fight against the "space civilization".

"Song Xiyun, one thing we must understand now is that the task of fighting against 'space civilization' is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. This is a very long-term task, and the time span may range from decades to hundreds of years. Therefore, we don't have to worry too much about short-term things, but make long-term plans..."

The distance between the Blue Star civilization and this "space civilization" is dozens of light years away. Even if one uses the speed of electromagnetic waves to travel there, it will take decades to reach the end, not to mention the time required to send out a space fleet.

Although this "space civilization" already possesses powerful space folding technology, it is definitely not an easy task to create a folded space that can span dozens of light years. The antimatter energy required will increase by countless geometric multiples.

On the other hand, the impact that this "space civilization" will have on the universe is not as serious as Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had worried about before.

Because this "space civilization" itself also knows what consequences their large-scale collection of antimatter energy will have. As a member of the positive matter universe, they will not do anything that will only hurt themselves, but instead adopt a more "scientific" method of collecting antimatter.

In other words, even if this behavior is definitely harmful to the universe in the long run, the harm will not appear so quickly or so obviously, at least it will not affect the development and life of this "space civilization" itself.

As long as this problem can be solved within a few hundred years, the impact of this incident on the universe will be negligible.

"Song Xiyun, our ultimate goal is to reach this 'space civilization' one day in the future and fill the gap in the barrier of this antimatter universe. In order to achieve this goal, we need to make very thorough preparations..."

This goal does not sound that difficult to achieve, but in fact, in order to accomplish such a task, the prerequisite is that we must have the ability to defeat this "space civilization".

The development speed of the Blue Star civilization was originally lagging behind that of this "space civilization". In addition, they possessed inexhaustible antimatter energy, so it was almost impossible to defeat them.

After talking about this long-term goal, Ning Chen continued to talk to Song Xiyun about their short-term goals.

"Song Xiyun, in fact, in the short term, we don't need to rush for success, but we can first break through some research projects that seem to have little to do with this plan. For example, the project on the evolution and development of intelligent creatures that we have not yet completely solved can now be continued."

Originally, this project was what Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had been researching before, but because of the anomalies regarding "space civilization" discovered by Hayes, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had to temporarily shelve the project.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun immediately understood Ning Chen's idea. If this project can achieve some major breakthroughs, then it will definitely have some effect on fighting against "space civilization".

"Yes, it's time to pick up this project again. As long as we can find the ultimate answer to the evolution of intelligent creatures, we will become stronger."

At this stage, Song Xiyun would not care too much about whether the genetic changes would make them no longer the same as before. Compared with the crisis that the entire universe has to face, these are already very minor matters.

For Song Xiyun, as long as she and Ning Chen can remain true to themselves, no matter what they become, they will still be who they once were.

…………

In the following days, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun continued their research on the evolution of intelligent creatures according to their plan.

This research is not easy to conduct, but they will not retreat because of the difficulty of the project. Instead, they will carry out the research without distraction and no longer worry about other things.

On the other hand, after a period of investigation, this "space civilization" finally discovered the previous abnormal incident and realized that their civilization had been invaded by another civilization.

After all, they are an advanced civilization with highly developed technological capabilities. No matter how secretive Ning Chen's operations are, it is impossible to hide them from their eyes forever.

However, after conducting a detailed investigation into the matter, they did not obtain any more information about it. They did not even know where this high-dimensional quantum energy body came from or how it suddenly appeared near them.

However, one thing they can be sure of is that there is another advanced civilization that has noticed their "space civilization" and is planning to take some unusual actions.

After some discussion, they worked out a countermeasure for this matter.

"No matter which civilization wants to confront us, we will not be afraid of them! Let them continue to attack us and see which civilization is stronger!"

"This is just a meaningless trick. It won't have any impact on our civilization. I don't know what the point of doing this is, but we will definitely continue the mining of antimatter energy!"

"We will not take any other civilization in the universe seriously. We will continue to expand the influence of our civilization. In this way, the civilization that plays tricks will sooner or later be discovered and eradicated by us."
