A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 94 This Civilization is Too Complex

After Lu Shang issued the general instructions, the rest was left to the bee swarm to supplement.

To conceal the existence of the Babel Swarm, the swarm creatures randomly selected a civilization from the Star Alliance as their imposter.

In a randomly selected, relatively small, irregularly shaped region within a galaxy, a string of electromagnetic waves was emitted from a location one light-year from the region's edge.

Hello, unknown civilization. We are the Dias Empire. You may call us Dias people.

We are a race that cherishes love and dreams. First, please allow us to extend our highest and best wishes to those of you who receive this message.

The Dias people originated from their home planet Yahweh. Through long periods of labor and creation on Yahweh, they established a magnificent civilization and created a rich and diverse culture. In their exploration of the laws of nature, they gradually understood and mastered the application of the laws governing the operation of nature and society, and entered the great family of civilization in the universe.

We cherish everything we have now. Although our society is not perfect and there is still hatred, prejudice and war, the Diaz people have now achieved political unification, and this major problem has been solved.

The remaining problems are merely minor, time-related issues that will be resolved as our understanding of the laws of nature deepens.

Our civilization, which originated from Yahweh, will surely become a perfect civilization that fully satisfies the material and spiritual needs of all people.

Finally, please allow us to extend our highest respect and greetings to your civilization. The Dias people eagerly anticipate establishing contact with you and working together to create a better life in the vast universe. We await your arrival at the following coordinates…

The coordinates in the information refer to a yellow dwarf star system located 32 light-years from the neutron star.

Neutron stars constantly emit high-energy pulse beams in the universe, making them very conspicuous and easy to use as reference points. As a civilization in this galaxy, there should be no reason why they couldn't find the coordinates marked by the swarm.

Sure enough, after waiting for a year, the atomic beings that the swarm had deployed in the star system found a sphere that looked like a black hole.

From the outside, it looks exactly like a miniature black hole, but it is different from ordinary black holes. Its radiation is not very high. Compared with black holes of the same size event horizon, its radiation is almost negligible.

Moreover, this pitch-black sphere did not exhibit strong gravity, and given that it escaped from faster-than-light travel, it is clearly a man-made object.

Regardless, this is a highly technological civilization, that much is certain.

Now that the other party has arrived, the atomic beings naturally release electromagnetic waves in an attempt to establish a connection with them.

However, the next turn of events caught the atomic beings off guard. After a moment of distortion, the pitch-black sphere released an extremely terrifying amount of energy. The spacetime ripples caused by this energy were similar to those of two black holes about to merge, extremely obvious and violent.

The deaths of atomic life forms spread at faster-than-light speeds within the swarm network.

In war, one should not kill envoys, let alone in a situation where it is not even a battle. From the perspective of Lu Shang and the swarm, this is an extremely malicious act of provocation.

"All the atomic beings responsible for this contact perished, but fortunately, they all managed to capture the antimatter particles in space in time with their psionic energy, annihilating the core of the memory and ensuring that the swarm's information was not leaked further." After compiling the information following the incident, the mastermind, Moston, reported to Lu Shang.

"The universe is definitely not a place for reasoning; it's more suitable to talk about physics."

Lu Shang sighed helplessly. He clearly didn't want to fight this time, since there was too little relevant information and he wouldn't gain any advantage in a rash confrontation. But the other side just wouldn't agree.

However, since the other side wanted to fight, the bee swarm was not afraid. Lu Shang, having made up his mind, ordered the bee creatures: "Since they are so confident in their strength, then the bee swarm will fight them."

"All bees, prepare for war! A new battle has begun! Wipe them all out!"

The bees responded: "Eternal destruction drives the swarm upward!"

……

Regarding the invasion of the Sacred Scorpion Civilization fleet, the various regimes of the Ussuri people quickly reached a consensus—to flee.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away?

The Sacred Scorpion civilization's fleet will not arrive at its destination immediately. Their fleet is heading towards Karana at one-tenth the speed of light, which will take at least several tens of thousands of Na's time. During these several tens of thousands of Na's time, if the Ussu civilization is crazy enough, it will still have enough capacity to build a batch of escape ships by relying on resources to build industry.

However, this raises a problem.

Who represents the departing spark of civilization?

Who should be left behind by this fleet?

Without a doubt, the elites in the Wusu civilization first and foremost demonstrated that they were the group most entitled to leave.

However, when it comes to the preservation of traditions, different social classes within the Wusu people have their own ideas.

"Bullshit! Why should you be the ones to leave? Just because you make more money? The engineers should be the ones to leave! A fleet can't sail without engineers!"

Engineers and other industry-related groups are speaking out.

"Isn't what you're saying just nonsense? Without scholars on board, how long can engineers survive? By gnawing on the ship's metal?"

Following the statement from engineering groups, researchers, led by agricultural and physicists, issued a statement on behalf of the academic community.

These two groups, as the backbone of civilization, quickly reached an agreement.

So, not long after, they issued another joint statement.

"Scholars and engineers are both talented individuals; if they're going to leave, they should leave together."

At this point, the militaries of various countries also became concerned and issued statements saying: "There are still military personnel. Space is dangerous. Fleets need a highly disciplined management system like military control to ensure navigational safety and internal order."

Of course, not all those who issue statements represent the interests of their own groups; many voices within the Ussuri civilization criticize these groups.

"Can't you adults just shut up? What about the children? Are you going to run away like idiots, leaving a bunch of kids to face alien invaders alone? Children represent the hope of civilization!"

"So you're going to hand the entire fleet over to the kids? Let them operate those massive spaceships? Are you crazy? Can't adults just have children on those spaceships and keep the civilization going?"

"Children are not the hope of civilization, but merely malleable expendable resources for its growth! They will either become low-level expendable resources or elite resources that are difficult to replace at the top, nothing more!"

"That's utter nonsense!"
