Chapter 472 Top Predator

Inside the secret room.

Chen Fan's face looked a little solemn.

With the "rearview mirror of history", he had already anticipated what would happen to the Xinalo expeditionary fleet - it was likely that this fleet would encounter the giant scorpion in the sky.

But even so, he did not expect that the Star Scorpion would appear in front of the expedition fleet in such a short time!

A more crucial point.

Before the expedition fleet encountered the giant star scorpion, the light stone broadcasting array received an unknown signal fluctuation!

This is somewhat intriguing.

"Do you think those giant scorpions were found because of the Lightstone Broadcast Array?"

Wang Jing's voice came over the communication link.

Like Chen Fan, the moment she saw the log record, she focused her attention on the so-called unknown civilization signal.

In response to Wang Jing's question, Chen Fan quickly nodded in affirmation.

Is this even necessary to ask?

It took only five years from the completion of the Light Stone Broadcasting Array to the arrival of the unknown civilization signal, and the giant scorpion appeared in the next galaxy...

How could there be so many coincidences in this world?

“It is indeed possible.”

To Chen Fan's surprise, Wang Jing showed some hesitation on her face: "But... there is still a problem."

"Perhaps the Light Stone Broadcasting Array has a certain attraction to the giant scorpions, but I don't think the signals received by the Light Stone Broadcasting Array are sent by these giant scorpions."

"what?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised.

"Light Stone Broadcast Array." Wang Jing raised her hand and tapped the reading interface in front of Chen Fan. "The attachment to the log contains the basic architecture diagram of the Light Stone Broadcast Array. I just took a quick look at it."

"This so-called Light Stone Broadcasting Array is, to put it bluntly, an amplified version of the previous resonance loop."

"Although it has not been actually tested, in theory, it does not have the function of receiving and sending messages in a directional manner."

"To put it simply, when sending a message, it is a loudspeaker, and when receiving a message, it is a hearing aid without any filtering function."

Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly.

He probably knew what Wang Jing wanted to say.

"I briefly checked the files of the Dangerous Technology Administration." Wang Jing raised her hand to support her chin and added with interest, "Then I found a very interesting phenomenon."

"During the years when the Light Stone Broadcasting Array received unknown signals, there was a small outbreak of dangerous incidents handled by the Dangerous Technology Administration."

"We didn't know the reason at the time, but now it seems that it was most likely the work of the broadcaster."

"You mean..." Chen Fan glanced at the reading interface with a strange look on his face, "The light stone broadcast array of the Xinaluo civilization accidentally received the high-dimensional broadcast of the broadcasting civilization?"

"Just a possibility."

Wang Jing shrugged: "At least, I think the probability of the giant scorpion sending out a message broadcast is not high."

"In other words, the source of that information is at least not the giant scorpion of this universe."

"It's not the giant scorpion from this universe?" Chen Fan asked subconsciously, "How do you know?"

"It's very simple."

Wang Jing's expression became a little more serious. "If the giant scorpions at that time had the ability to broadcast information, then we should have encountered giant scorpions that mastered information interference technology long ago, and the Xinaluo civilization would not have been able to last so long."

"But the fact is..."

"Until now, the giant scorpion that has mastered information interference is still in the incubation stage, and it will even take quite a long time to hatch normally."

"Not only that."

"From the time the Xinaluo expeditionary fleet encountered the first giant scorpion, to the time when the giant scorpions attacked Xinaluo's home planet, to the current huge scorpion swarm, these giant scorpions have actually been in the process of evolving."

Wang Jing frowned even deeper: "This phenomenon... is a little too strange."

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind:
"Do these giant scorpions have to evolve all over again every time they enter an unknown universe?"

Chen Fan's pupils dilated slightly, as if he remembered something: "If this is true, then the information disturbance circuit inside the incubation tower should be used to promote the evolution of the giant scorpion?"

the other side.

Listening to the discussion between Chen Fan and Wang Jing, Ophelia's face turned pale, and the fluorescent light on her body flickered.

Obviously.

Not only this diary from hundreds of years ago, but also the conversation between Chen Fan and Wang Jing brought her great shock.

[How could this happen? How could this happen…]

Ophelia kept shaking her head, as if she didn't believe the log she saw: [Violet calendar year 75... These giant scorpions appeared so early! ]

[Then, then why didn't Queen Violet take any defensive measures? ! ]

[There were 253 years in between!!]

Ophelia slowly closed her eyes, her pale lips trembling slightly. [If Violet had prepared for the war in advance, the Xinalo civilization might not have been forced to leave its home planet. If Violet...]

"Queen Ophelia." Chen Fan frowned when he noticed Ophelia's uncontrollable emotions and quickly interrupted her. "The situation is not yet confirmed. Perhaps Queen Violet has her own difficulties."

Ophelia said nothing and fell into silence again.

Chen Fan hesitated to speak, and finally turned his gaze helplessly to the log information just now.

He needs to trace the truth about the Star Scorpion from this log as soon as possible.

…Violet calendar year 75.

The discovery of extraterrestrial life does not bring us much joy.

Quite the opposite.

On the day the expedition fleet sent back the report, a considerable degree of panic broke out within the royal family and the research institute.

Although the expedition fleet has not yet had direct contact with the giant creature, the images sent back by the probe still scared the researchers who were searching for extraterrestrial civilizations all day long - there was no way, it was too different from the aliens we expected.

Many researchers even advised me not to let the expedition fleet come into contact with the giant creature.

They believed that the creature's body structure destined it to be a top predator, and any rash contact with it would likely bring disaster to the Xinalo civilization.

What a joke.

The current Xinalo civilization has such powerful warships and "air blades" that can pierce through space. It's just a tiny insect. How could it possibly bring disaster to the Xinalo civilization?

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if the opponent is very powerful, strong enough to withstand the damage of "Sky Blade"...

That is also an opportunity for Xinalo civilization!
We may be able to find the direction of technological progress from it!!

Furthermore...

If I give up the opportunity before me, how can I explain to my people in the future? !

Anyway, I decided to have the expeditionary fleet try to contact the other side.

……

Violet is in the 75th year of the calendar.

The first contact was not very effective.

Before the formal contact, the expeditionary fleet, in accordance with the requirements of the Institute, contacted them using electromagnetic waves, tachyon broadcasting and light stone broadcasting in turn, trying to establish a stable communication link with the other party.

According to the expeditionary fleet's report, the other party did not show much interest in electromagnetic waves and tachyon broadcasting.

When the expeditionary fleet sent a light stone broadcast to it, it finally responded, but...

This reaction is somewhat different from what we expected.

As the light stone broadcast was issued, the other party immediately launched an attack on the detector that issued the broadcast.

After destroying the probe, it quickly entered a warp state and launched an attack on the expedition fleet docked outside this star system.

Yes, curvature state, you read it right.

A living creature can not only travel through the universe in the flesh, but can even enter the curvature state in the flesh!
This is incredible!!

The researchers were right. The giant creature that was more than ten meters long should be the top predator in the universe - it feeds on metal ores in asteroids. The deep pits we saw at the beginning were actually traces left by it during the feeding process!
Because it showed a very strong desire to attack and destroy the expedition fleet, and even destroyed a small shuttle ship, the expedition fleet was forced to fight back and completely killed it outside the star system.

Although the first contact with extraterrestrial life failed, the expedition fleet harvested the corpse of an alien creature.

It's good news.

At least……

I can explain to the Xinaluo civilization.

However, those researchers believe that this is not simply a desire to attack, and the other party is more likely to regard the Xinalo Expedition Fleet as prey.

This conjecture is somewhat horrifying.

Therefore, I did not make this discovery public immediately, but kept it secret for the time being.

As for the body of the giant life form, it was also temporarily kept by the expedition fleet.

……

same year.

Researchers within the expedition fleet sent reports on giant life forms.

The results of the report are shocking.

First, the creature's body is covered in an armored layer of dense material.

No wonder it could collide head-on with the Xinalo expedition fleet!
Secondly, researchers from the expedition fleet also detected residual traces of an unknown energy in the body of this creature. The test results showed that this energy was much more advanced than the antimatter used by the Xinalo civilization.

It has a higher energy density and will produce a very powerful explosion when it comes into contact with a vacuum.

The Royal Institute conducted a comprehensive analysis of the data and finally came up with an answer - it is very likely a substance that we have been looking for but have never found.

Dark matter.

As I said before.

This powerful creature provided guidance for the next research direction for the Xinalo civilization.

If they could study the other party's energy system, the territory of the Xinalo civilization might be expanded again, and the decline of that civilization would become a thing of the past.

Of course, the Royal Research Institute was not so optimistic - since the creature's body was incomplete and the energy inside its body was almost dissipated, they could not obtain many research results from it. At best, they could only obtain a new research direction.

But I don't think so.

I don't believe there is only one such creature in this star region.

All it takes is one more encounter with the same creature and capturing it...

The research institute will definitely be able to find something out from the other person's body!
