Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 721: Must Keep Moving Forward
This result made all decision makers on the Tianqin frown.

"The Light of the Sky River was matched correctly, right?"

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"This is such a coincidence!"

For a moment, everyone on the Lyra exclaimed in disbelief. Why did they have to match to the target star field of humanity's trip?

Judging from the star map retrieved and matched by "Light of the Milky Way", although it does not completely overlap with the star map obtained by humans from the pioneers' diamond crystals, if the so-called star field is expanded a little bit, it is the same star field.

The star map that the diamond crystal gives to humans is composed of five stars, while the star field on the digital star map has seven stars, three of which coincide with it.

The star system whose internal details are revealed is one of the three stars.

That's why everyone shouted it was a coincidence.

Yue Yuan also walked around the hall where the scientists were, frowning, repeating in his heart: "This is unexpected!"

Indeed, humans have been very cautious along the way, fearing that their whereabouts would be discovered by other civilizations, which would then destroy the small universe adventures left behind by their pioneer explorers. However, they did not expect that there were other civilizations out there.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. It seems that all the careful efforts before were in vain.

"Commander, based on the range of tachyon detection, as long as we don't go directly to the star system marked by it, we may not be discovered. We can search in nearby star systems first, which are still within the range shown in the Pioneer star map." At this time, a military personnel spoke up.

His words immediately broke the silence.

"Not very likely!" Another military officer shook his head, thought for a moment and continued, "Since the other party has clearly marked the star map, there is no reason for them to hide in just one star system. Since a level 4 civilization has clearly marked that star system, they must have precautions against the stars near that star system."

Hearing this, Yue Yuan nodded secretly. It was indeed true. The average distance between the stars in that star field was only about 6 light years. A level civilization could deploy warning measures on nearby stars at any time, and it would be abnormal if there were no warning measures.

If humans are stationed in a certain star system and are not afraid of being exposed and publicizing it, then the surrounding star systems must be filled with detectors. Not only that, detectors will also be deployed in the starry sky between stars, and full coverage of tachyon detection is inevitable.

Alien civilizations are not stupid. It is impossible for them to leave their doors wide open without any warning.

It is true that there are more well-intentioned civilizations in this universe, but there is ultimately no powerful civilization that can establish a set of peaceful rules for the galaxy that everyone needs to follow, so we must always remain vigilant among the stars.

"So, we will definitely encounter this unknown civilization this time. I wonder what they mean by sending out this star map so widely? Do they hope that everyone will come to explore the remains left by the pioneers?" A scientist stroked his hair and expressed his doubts.

"No, no, no, I think it's because of our preconceived notions." As soon as the voice came out, a member of the command headquarters took over: "Maybe the unknown civilization doesn't know about the small universe left by the pioneers? Maybe all this is really just a coincidence, because if they know where the pioneers' small universe is, such behavior is too abnormal. How can a civilization be so selfless as to call other strange civilizations all over the universe to share the relics of a higher civilization together!"

The scientist just now turned his head and said: "Are you saying that they have another purpose for broadcasting digital star maps in the universe?" "Isn't it obvious?" The member of the command spread his hands and asked back.

"What's the purpose of that?"

"I don't know that."

The other party just sent a star map. Who knows what the purpose is? At most, we can only guess. Before the two sides have real contact and can communicate with each other, humans cannot really know the other party's purpose.

Everyone continued to discuss the matter, but to no avail. In the end, everyone turned their eyes to Yue Yuan.

Yue Yuan, who had been listening to their discussion, naturally knew what those eyes meant, so he looked around at everyone and said, "We have worked so hard to cross the spiral arm and we can't just give up like this, so we still have to go. At least we have to know the purpose of that unknown civilization."

After a pause, Yue Yuan looked at the member of the command who had just spoken, and continued: "Gu Miyong is right. The other party may not know about the microcosm, so I think we can go, but we can't let them know that our goal is the Pioneer's microcosm. Under this premise, we must first figure out what that unknown civilization is doing there!"

Everyone obviously agreed with Yue Yuan's decision. They had come across the spiral arm, so how could they just give up? So they continued to discuss Yue Yuan's decision.

"In that case, we can use the fact that we received a broadcast from that unknown civilization as an excuse. However, our entire civilization is here, and I don't think we can all go there at once. Perhaps we can follow the method we used to contact the Red Flame civilization before and let the Star Alliance member civilizations go and investigate first."

"I think it's feasible. Let's stop the main body of our civilization here for now!"

"Well, it's 10 light years away from the star system they marked, which is a good location. It's just right for our main body of civilization to dock in this star system, but I don't think it's necessary to let the member civilizations of the Star Alliance try it out. The reason is simple. The fleets of those affiliated civilizations are too simple and not large enough. You can tell at a glance that they are level civilization warships stuffed with warp engines and other detection equipment. The other side is obviously a level civilization. If we try it out like this, it will have a counterproductive effect. It's better to send our fleet directly to make contact."

"That makes sense, but the main body of civilization must also be protected by a fleet."

"That's for sure. We have more than one fleet, and the member civilizations of the Star Alliance can also be on alert near the star system where the main civilization is located. In this way, even if there is danger, we can be warned in advance."

"I think it's feasible."

After everyone talked for a while, they looked at Yue Yuan again.

Yue Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's the general strategy, but the specific measures still need more detailed rules. Let's go back and prepare. In four hours, we will hold a meeting to discuss the possible problems, possible sudden dangerous situations and emergency plans that may be encountered during this trip."

After saying this, he turned around and left the hall, heading towards his office and cab. At the same time, he asked his secretary to report the situation to the heads of various departments and notify them to prepare for the meeting.

The destination is still more than 300 light years away, and the situation is not urgent enough to make a decision immediately. In this case, brainstorming can make up for the omissions in one person's decision.

The meeting was a virtual network world meeting, which was the same as the previous meeting style where everyone lay in their own cabins and controlled their own virtual characters to discuss in the virtual world conference room. This technology was already realized by humans in the third level civilization, and now many game worlds created by humans are completed with this technology.
