Chapter 614: Exposure of Civilization

Focusing most of the attention on matters related to antimatter energy has, to a certain extent, also affected the development of other scientific and technological fields of this "space civilization".

But as long as they are willing, they have huge potential in many other fields, and they are not without research capabilities in these fields.

"What we need to do next is to maximize the role of these antimatter energies and use them to help us become a more powerful civilization. According to my conservative estimate, these antimatter energies are enough for us to use for tens of thousands of years, or even longer. Many civilizations do not exist for such a long time."

Although the evolution of life is very long, for intelligent civilization, this time is very short.

For example, the Blue Planet has a history of 4.6 billion years, and at least ten billion years have passed since the earliest appearance of life.

However, it was not until thousands of years ago that human beings finally began to have the beginnings of civilization, which gradually developed into a real civilization.

It can be said that the development speed of a civilization is extremely rapid. In a very short period of time, a civilization can achieve an explosive leap in development, and the speed of development is difficult even for the civilization itself to predict.

The rapid pace of development has also brought many uncertainties to the existence of civilization. These technologies can allow civilization to reach a new level and height, but they may also plunge civilization into a new crisis.

Over the years, the Blue Star civilization has faced several similar crises, including the crisis caused by the alien civilization where Hayes is, and the crisis caused by the robot civilization. Both are closely related to the technological development of the Blue Star civilization itself.

"That's right. The current reserves of antimatter energy are enough for our civilization to develop for hundreds of generations. So even if we don't continue to mine antimatter energy, it will not affect the development of our civilization. On the contrary, it will accelerate the development of our civilization."

"Yes, there is another very important reason why we put all our efforts on the mining of antimatter energy. We don't know when we will no longer be able to mine antimatter energy. Fortunately, we have made sufficient reserves of antimatter energy. If we had not fully mined antimatter energy before, we would be in a very passive situation now."

This kind of communication finally made them stop regretting the failure and focus on the future.

"In addition to continuing to develop our various technologies, we must also find out all the information about this civilization. They are our most important enemy in this universe. If we can't completely wipe them out, we will never be able to relax."

"Yes, this civilization is the one we must eradicate. But at present, we still have a lot of unknowns about this civilization. They didn't even leave any valuable information here. We don't even have any clues about the specific location of their civilization."

In essence, Ning Chen, Song Xiyun and others from the Blue Star civilization have never really reached the vicinity of the "space civilization". They just came here in the form of ideology, so they will not leave any important traces at all.

Relying solely on their current understanding of the Blue Star civilization, it is indeed difficult for this "space civilization" to learn too much information related to the Blue Star civilization, let alone want to eradicate the entire Blue Star civilization.

"No, in fact, things are not as hopeless as we imagined. If they just controlled some of our intelligent robots, then I am afraid I would not be able to find any valuable clues. But in fact, they have created their bodies here, and we can be sure that these bodies are exactly the same as their original bodies. Starting from this point, we have every hope of finding their true location."

Hearing these words from the chief scientist, everyone else felt surprised and confused.

What surprised them was that they actually had hope of finding the actual location of the Blue Star civilization, but what puzzled them was how they were going to achieve this goal.

After all, the information left by the Blue Star civilization near this "space civilization" is too limited. Even though the chief scientist's technological talents are outstanding, it is difficult for them to imagine how he could have done this.

"Dear Chief Scientist, please explain to us in detail how we should deal with this matter in the future. The targets we may be looking for may be millions, tens of millions, or even more. If we want to detect each planet, the workload required is enormous."

If they used conventional methods to explore every planet near this "space civilization", they obviously would not be able to complete the task within the limited time.

So far, they have only completed the exploration of most of the planets in their own galaxy, and these tasks alone have consumed a lot of their time and energy.

Even if they can quickly develop their space technology after that, it will be absolutely impossible for them to achieve such extensive space exploration.

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, the chief scientist patiently explained.

"Yes, if we just follow the conventional method to explore the surrounding planets, it is indeed difficult to achieve this goal. If this civilization is only a few light years away from us, it is relatively easy to find it, but according to my estimation, this civilization is likely to be dozens of light years away from us. Within this range, we cannot explore every planet one by one, but must adopt some smarter methods..."

Whenever the distance in space increases, the increase in the number of planets inside it is not a simple addition or multiplication, but more likely an exponential relationship. After all, the universe is a three-dimensional space, and there are traces of the existence of planets in any direction.

"But if we optimize the method of finding this civilization and let the program help us with screening, our work will be a lot easier. Everyone knows that we have obtained the physical information data of the intelligent creatures in their civilization. The intelligent creatures born in each civilization are very special and have a very close relationship with the environment of the mother planet where this civilization is located. We only need to use the physical data information of these intelligent creatures to infer the environment of their mother planet, which is enough to greatly reduce our workload and quickly screen out the range of their mother planet..." The chief scientist's words suddenly made the other people in this "space civilization" feel enlightened, because this is indeed a very unique method.

As long as the chief scientist can successfully make the corresponding program, they can completely use the physical information data of these Blue Star people to screen out the vast majority of planets that have nothing to do with the mother planet of the Blue Star civilization.

In this way, they can save a lot of unnecessary work and find the true location of the mother planet of the Blue Star civilization within a limited time.

"Dear Chief Scientist, this is a really brilliant idea, but many of the details are still very difficult to implement. Do you think we have a chance to actually find the location of this civilization?"

"Don't worry. Although these problems are somewhat difficult to solve, I believe I am fully capable of doing so. With our current level of technology, even if we cannot explore all the planets near us, we can still obtain the main data of most planets. Just relying on these basic data is enough to help us reduce a lot of work..."

The chief scientist's words made everyone else seem more confident, realizing that he really had the ability and determination to achieve these goals, and was not just talking casually.

"Great! If this plan is really feasible, then we can narrow down the location of this civilization to a very small area. If we really find the location of this civilization, then no matter what the cost, we must completely destroy this civilization!"

Their hatred for the Blue Star Civilization is no less than that of the Robot Civilization. After all, the Blue Star Civilization has prevented them from mining antimatter energy, turning their originally unlimited energy into limited energy.

Even if their actions are objectively harmful to the entire universe, they are only beneficial to themselves. However, each civilization only focuses on itself, and they will not feel any guilt or regret about it.

The chief scientist of this "space civilization" is definitely not a cruel person. The research results he has achieved are more out of his own interests and hobbies rather than for power or status.

But no matter what, he would not choose to do something that is not conducive to this "space civilization". As a member of this civilization, he must still focus on the interests of his own civilization. Many things do not have absolute right or wrong. Right and wrong are always closely related to one's position.

In this regard, the chief scientist actually has many similarities with Ning Chen. The chief scientist also admires Ning Chen's abilities very much, even though the two sides have never really met and have only had some side-by-side confrontations.

"My dear officers, in addition to using the characteristics of organisms to find the home planet of this civilization, I have another method to help us determine the location of this civilization. After thinking about it for the past few days, I have figured out how this civilization discovered our existence..."

Hearing what the chief scientist said, everyone else immediately started asking questions eagerly.

"This is a really important discovery. Tell us what the reason is."

They are all very eager to know how the location information of their civilization was leaked. After all, this is related to the security of a civilization. No civilization wants its location information to be exposed, which will greatly increase the danger level of its own civilization.

"At first I thought that it was because of our massive exploitation of antimatter energy that this matter was discovered by other civilizations, but later I realized that this was not a very noticeable behavior. Maybe for us, this matter is very eye-catching, but if the distance is magnified to a few light years away, or even farther, then it is simply impossible to notice. Of course, what I mean by 'impossible' is that under the premise of not knowing the location of our civilization, if we are deliberately explored, this matter may still be discovered..."

"I see. This civilization had already found our location before it discovered that we were mining antimatter energy, right?"

"Yes, that's what I wanted to say. After careful consideration, I was basically sure how they discovered our existence. The key to this problem lies in our experiment on 'space folding'."

After hearing what the chief scientist said, everyone else began to understand the problem.

Originally, they did not take the space folding experiment too seriously. After all, it was just one of their many scientific research projects, and it was not even a core scientific research project.

Until now, they have never actually used this space folding technology to carry out any substantial space travel, and all research related to this project has remained in the theoretical and experimental stage.

However, this incident will actually leave some traces in space. As long as a civilization has reached a certain level of astronomical technology, it is possible to notice this detail after observing the universe for a long time.

Even a civilization dozens of light years away is capable of observing such traces, and this is indeed the actual reason why the location of this "space civilization" was exposed.

"I never thought that it was this experiment that led to the exposure of our civilization's location. Otherwise, no civilization would have noticed us now, and we could continue to mine antimatter energy."
