With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 569 Welcome to join us
Wang Jing's calm and intellectual voice echoed in the huge laboratory. With the help of the adaptive sound amplification function of the central computer in the experimental building, her voice did not attenuate at all and fell into the ears of everyone in the laboratory with great clarity.

The other biological academicians in the laboratory did not show any strong reaction to this statement that was enough to shock the entire human union. Everyone was busy with their own research projects without even raising their heads.

Chief Lu and Ling, who were standing next to Wang Jing, were the same. They just looked at Chen Fan calmly.

Only Chen Fan uttered a loud exclamation when he heard Wang Jing's statement.

“…What the hell?!”

Seeing the academicians raising their heads because of his exclamation, Chen Fan lowered his voice and said, "Radio civilization... is right next to us?!"

As he spoke, he turned sideways and looked at the space around him, trying to see something from his surroundings.

"Correction, it's the information flow coordinates of broadcast civilization, not broadcast civilization."

"In addition, only when high-dimensional broadcasts are released will these coordinate signals appear in the surrounding space."

Wang Jing shook her head: "At present... at least in our detection, these coordinate signals will not be revealed normally."

Chen Fan nodded as if he understood something.

"so……"

"How does this relate to the question you asked earlier?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, trying to refute Wang Jing's previous outrageous theory: "Even if the coordinate signals of the broadcasting civilization appear inside the pan-universe, it doesn't seem to prove that they are my kind, right?"

“This has to do with the way information flows and how they are transmitted.”

Without waiting for Wang Jing to speak, Chief Lu, who was silently watching, took a half step forward and said, "According to the current research results of the Academy of Sciences, the transmission process of information flow is somewhat similar to electromagnetic waves."

"In the absence of any external interference, information flow will propagate in a straight line, and due to the dissipation effect of information flow, its intensity will continue to decay during its propagation."

"Now you should understand, right?"

Chen Fan stared at Chief Lu blankly.

understand?

What should he understand?
He clearly understood every word, even the whole sentence, but he still didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Chief Lu's words.

Just as ripe apples fall to the ground, gurgling streams flow toward low-lying areas.

Information flow propagates in a straight line, and its intensity decays during the propagation process. In Chen Fan's opinion, the law mentioned by Chief Lu is nothing more than the most basic common sense - he discovered this phenomenon just after he learned to control the information flow.

But these two rules were too common, so he didn't take them to heart.

"I……"

Chen Fan scratched his head and tried to think for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

He really couldn't understand what secrets were hidden in these two common-sense rules.

"Chief, Chen Fan is not a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences." Wang Jing chuckled and took over the conversation, "Your explanation will not work."

She raised her hand and casually called up a new holographic image, in which she opened two completely identical pan-universe star maps.

Under Chen Fan's confused eyes, Wang Jing first "dragged" out the first star map.

"Based on two previous signal tracing experiments, we found that during the high-dimensional broadcast process, the intensity of information flow in the universe is basically uniform."

"To put it simply, whether it is the frontier universe or the main universe, the intensity of the detected information flow is actually tending to be consistent."

Chen Fan frowned, vaguely aware of some problems, but for a moment he didn't know how to express it, as if there was a thin piece of window paper covering the world in front of him.

“Information flow decays.”

Wang Jing reminded softly.

"!!!"

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. Wang Jing's reminder directly broke through this layer of window paper that seemed to be there and not there.

"I see. What you mean is... the broadcasting civilization has planted a large number of information flow signal sources in the pan-universe?"

He excitedly said the flash of inspiration in his mind: "So there will be no intensity decay?"

"Half right."

Wang Jing nodded with satisfaction, then gently tapped the holographic star map in front of her with her right index finger.

Swish!
Densely packed and neatly arranged bright red dots suddenly appeared on the originally abbreviated pan-universe star map.

"This is the broadcast model that the Academy of Sciences established at the beginning." Wang Jing's voice continued, "Just like you said, as long as the number of signal sources is large enough, the problem of information flow intensity attenuation will naturally be solved."

“But that doesn’t explain the other phenomenon.”

"In subsequent experiments, whenever the high-dimensional broadcast stopped, the 'signal source' traced back would disappear into the starry sky without any signs."

"The Academy of Sciences conducted several investigations in the main universe and its periphery, but failed to find these so-called 'signal sources'."

"Theoretically speaking, if the 'signal source' really exists and is able to release such a powerful information flow, it absolutely cannot have such a powerful concealment capability."

"then……"

"We proposed a second model."

As she spoke, Wang Jing waved to the side, and the second holographic star map that she had prepared earlier floated in front of her.

"The hyperspace membrane is a curled web that extends infinitely. You should know this."

Seeing Chen Fan nod, Wang Jing clicked again on the holographic star map that had been zoomed to the extreme.

wow...

The camera zooms out quickly.

The hyperspace membrane, which was originally huge in scale and contained countless universes, quietly shrank into a real "membrane".

"This..." Faced with this never-before-seen perspective, Chen Fan's pupils dilated rapidly.

"Although I don't want to admit it, in the Academy's hypothetical model, compared to the nothingness outside the natural order field, the hyperspace membrane is actually just an inconspicuous film."

Wang Jing's index finger gently tapped the gray space outside the hyperspace membrane: "If the real signal source is placed in the void outside the membrane, and a sufficiently strong information flow is released to the hyperspace membrane in the form of a dot matrix or scattering, what do you think will happen?"

After hearing this, Chen Fan understood.

"If the distance between the signal source and the hyperspace membrane is far enough..."

He swallowed and whispered, "The size of the hyperspace membrane itself is almost negligible."

"bingo."

Wang Jing shrugged: "This is the second model proposed by the Academy of Sciences. It can perfectly explain the phenomenon of the mysterious disappearance of the signal source after high-dimensional broadcasting."

“Initially, the model was not well accepted.”

"After all, it involves nothingness."

"According to the past theories of the Human Union, it is impossible for life forms to exist in the void, let alone such a powerful civilization."

"But now it seems..." Wang Jing looked at Chen Fan meaningfully, "This unrecognized model is actually the most likely one."

Chen Fan fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Everything matched his previous description—there was no concept of space and time. To put it bluntly, wasn't this the typical characteristic of nothingness?

Combined with the high-dimensional broadcast model, isn’t the information flow life form that survives in it a broadcast civilization?
As for him who had enjoyed the "sacrificial" ceremony and even survived it...

Isn’t that the traitor from the radio civilization?

Not to mention Wang Jing and other academicians, at this moment, even Chen Fan himself began to doubt his own identity.

"Let's talk about the advent of broadcast civilization into the pan-universe."

Wang Jing said calmly, "Do you still remember the ghost song of the ghost fleet?"

Chen Fan was startled and looked up at Wang Jing.

"The dancing machines refer to the artificial intelligence [Zheng], and the invasion from the foreign lands should refer to the Apophis giant scorpion."

Wang Jing continued, "I have reason to suspect that the undetectable undead refers to the broadcasting civilization."

Yes.

In the description of the Ghost Song, the undead linger around every civilization, which corresponds exactly to the information flow broadcast that surrounds the entire pan-universe... and even the entire hyperspace membrane!

Chen Fan's face looked a little ugly: "The final destruction that will come..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Broadcasting Civilization." Chief Lu interrupted the conversation again, "At present, only the Broadcasting Civilization can possibly possess such strength."

Hearing these words, Chen Fan felt secretly bitter.

have to.

Ironclad evidence.

Judging from the current situation, in order to prevent future troubles, he would have no excuses even if the Human Union wiped him out on the spot - if it were him, he would also make such a decision in order to ensure the safety of countless civilizations of the Human Union.

after all……

In the face of a crisis that affects countless civilizations, “it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go” is the absolute truth.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes from Wang Jing and others, Chen Fan took a deep breath.

"I don't know what the hell I have to do with radio civilization."

"I only know one thing."

"Before crossing over, I was a human on Blue Planet; after crossing over, I became an investigator for the Human Union's Dangerous Technology Administration."

Chen Fan said word by word: "No matter what my identity is, I am a life living on the hyperspace membrane."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Lu was the first to smile.

He nodded cheerfully to Chen Fan and extended his right hand to him: "Let me introduce myself again. I am the chief academician of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, Lv Yongchang."

As soon as the words fell, the holographic projection constructed by light solidified at an extremely fast speed and briefly formed a tangible entity.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly reached out and shook Chief Lu's right hand: "I am..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said in a firm tone: "The third type of life form of the hyperspace membrane, Chen Fan."

When they held hands, Chief Lu's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice:

"I represent the Human Union and welcome you to join us."

"Your Excellency Chen Fan."

……

The next day.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

While Chen Fan was assisting with various experiments based on information flow in the laboratory, a strange alarm that had never been heard before echoed over the entire Academy of Sciences without warning.

"I go……"

Chen Fan's heart trembled, and the stream of information that he had carefully controlled was like a fragile spider thread, breaking lightly in front of his eyes.

Several prompt messages quickly popped up on the holographic interface - the information flow was broken, and this experiment was naturally declared a failure.

But Wang Jing, the person in charge of the experiment, didn't care about the failure of the experiment at all.

She raised her head and looked at the porthole on the side of the laboratory with a somewhat grim expression.

Through the porthole, you can vaguely see several large starships flashing past the sky above the Academy of Sciences, and finally disappearing in the bright and crowded starry sky around them.

Not only Wang Jing, but other academicians in the laboratory also subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at the starry sky outside the porthole with worry.

"This……"

With such a scene, Chen Fan naturally had some guesses in his mind: "What happened?"

Wang Jing murmured in a low voice: "This is the warning signal of the first level combat readiness state."

"The Apophis giant scorpion in universe EL13685003 has probably already broken free from the event horizon."

She paused and said, "...the war has broken out."

as predicted.

The moment Wang Jing finished speaking, a series of holographic interfaces automatically popped up in front of everyone, and began to scroll and broadcast the battle situation in the universe EL13685003.

……

Universe EL13685003.

Small but complete.

Although this is only a small cosmic bubble with only one and a half galaxies inside it, it still belongs to a standard independent universe. Therefore, it has all the macroscopic structures and civilization levels that a large universe should have. Half a year ago, from the star system to the galaxy, from the first-level civilization that had just entered the interstellar to the seventh-level civilization that dominated the galaxy, this small cosmic bubble seemed to have a set of micro-systems that belonged to it alone.

only……

Today, half a year later, the universe seems unusually empty.

Almost all the star systems disappeared, except for some massive stars that were left in place. The only things left in the starry sky were the ferocious warships ready for battle.

The star system is gone, and the Milky Way formed by the star system is naturally gone too.

All materials were recycled and processed, forming fully functional interstellar military factories in the starry sky.

As for civilization...

From level one to level seven civilization, all native civilizations were relocated to other safe cosmic bubbles. Even those inferior civilizations that had not yet left their mother planet and had not yet been promoted to level one were packed up and sent away from this cosmic bubble along with their mother planets.

Near the central black hole.

The black hole's accretion disk emitted a warm orange-red light, which shone on countless hideous-looking warships, bringing out a hint of coldness.

Inside the accretion disk, the event horizon structure, which was supposed to be round and integrated, has become somewhat "incomplete" - gray shadows continuously float up from the inside of the event horizon to the edge of the event horizon, and then struggle to rush towards the starry sky outside the event horizon.

As time passed, the gray shadows gradually became three-dimensional, and the gray on the surface gradually faded, revealing its true appearance.

Giant scorpions of the sky, each as large as the red and blue giants, with scarlet eyes filled with the desire to destroy and ruin!!
boom! ! !
A streak of brilliant light shot out from a Titan Mothership, mercilessly tearing apart the orange-red black hole accretion disk, and shot towards the giant scorpion that was roaring towards the sky! !
Just like a flare, at the moment when the stream of light tore through the accretion disk, countless streams of light roared out from the surrounding fleets and smashed towards the central black hole like a storm!

The war has officially begun!
