The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

"It's a wormhole! 43 light-years away from the sophon we were observing!" the Atom Man reported.

Wormhole!

Everyone immediately thought of that dominant civilization in the galaxy.

The person in charge asked solemnly, "Can you verify my identity?"

The Atom Man replied, "No, 43 light-years is too far; there would be too much interference from matter in between."

"Could it be that galactic overlord civilization?" an atomic being asked.

My colleague replied, "It's highly likely. So far, they are the only ones who have definitively mastered wormhole technology."

The person in charge interrupted their conversation, "Don't add subjective speculation, that would be too arrogant. Summarize the observation information, and I'll hand it over to the Council of Ten in a moment for them to make a decision."

The news quickly reached the Council of Ten, and the decision to approach and observe the wormhole, which was 43 light-years away from the Sophon, was almost unanimously approved.

Regardless of whether this matter is related to the dominant civilization in the galaxy.

Wormhole technology is undoubtedly a technology that the Unified Body covets. If more physical data could be obtained, the difficulty of developing it would be greatly reduced.

However, the representatives did not reach a consensus on how to conduct the observations.

The Space Force representative suggested, "We can try to get the sophons closer to them, within ten light-years, for remote observation. Although the information will take ten years to reach us, that's not a problem. We're not in a hurry, as long as we don't get detected."

The Martian government representative questioned with dissatisfaction, "So, you know the technological limits of that wormhole civilization? You know they would never discover the sophon, which is ten light-years away and spying on them?"

"Do you have a better idea?" the Space Force representative asked.

Looking at the group of virtual entities, and then nodding to Davis and Liang Gong, the Martian government representative said, "Gentlemen, the non-existence strategy proposed by Feng Taylor is not only about microscopication, but also about disguise. There are scattered particles everywhere in the universe. The monitoring sophon can disguise itself as the motion of ordinary protons in the universe, or rather, it is just an ordinary particle with observation capabilities."

"Isn't what you said the same as not saying anything at all? Zhizi is a proton," the Space Force representative said.

The Martian government representative said, "I mean letting the sophons mix in with other proton streams. This can effectively avoid the possibility of being discovered. It's reasonable for a proton stream to contain protons, but finding a sophon in a proton stream in the vast universe is still very difficult."

The Space Force representative said, "I don't think this is safe. I can answer your question now: do you know the technological limits of that wormhole civilization? Moreover, this method can only allow for brief observations of that wormhole civilization. Sophons disguised as ordinary protons obviously cannot exhibit a speed slower than the proton flow."

At the end of the meeting, the Council of Ten decided to use both options, since they needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario: that the wormhole 43 light-years away was related to a galactic overlord civilization, and that the area was being guarded by that civilization.

"Let's use both methods together. The sophon will blend into a stream of protons naturally emitted by stars and pass by the observation target at a distance of ten light-years. Anyone else want to add something?"

"Then that's settled. The proposal passes unanimously," said Ryouji.

……

"My God, that thing is so big?!"

"Based on the calculation of gravitational waves, it should be a dense state of matter similar to strongly interacting materials."

"That's impossible! Neutron stars can't be expanded to that extent because once their mass exceeds a critical value, they will collapse into black holes."

"The facts are right in front of you, you have no choice but to believe them."

From the location of the observation target, the sophon mixed in with the proton stream briefly took a picture, and this single picture caused a great shock to everyone in the unified entity.

It was a colossal structure, with a radius more than half the radius of the nearby blue dwarf star.

That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that this thing's mass should have collapsed into a black hole, but it didn't, which is somewhat mind-blowing.

Looking at the pictures taken by Zhizi, along with the other physical parameters attached, Ding Yi's feelings were extremely complicated.

"I have a bad feeling about this thing. Seeing it reminds me of the feeling I had when I saw the water droplet years ago. I sensed an extremely violent danger."

Ding Yi said this to those close to him.

Chapter 356 Drifting Further Away in a Strange Direction

As the Unified Entity releases more sophons for disguised remote detection, its intelligence on the colossal artifacts has been revolutionized.

Initially, the unified entity thought the object was an ellipsoid, shaped like a rugby ball, mainly due to the angle of the camera. However, as subsequent images captured by the sophons became available, the unified entity realized that their perception of the giant man-made object was seriously flawed.

It was a ring, a ring made of highly dense matter, with a density comparable to that of a neutron star.

Leaving aside the inner workings of this stellar-scale megastructure, its function remains a mystery to the integration.

When it comes to megastructures and integrated systems, the only things that come to mind are Dyson spheres, Dyson rings, and Dyson clouds, all of which are basically related to stars. However, this star-sized ring from the unknown civilization is clearly not related to stars.

Subsequently, the Unified Body discovered similar rings at multiple listening stations. These rings appeared later. After receiving gravitational wave signals suspected to be released by wormholes, the listening stations observed the location and were able to see the ring-shaped megastructure.

There are many different opinions about the purpose of the ring megastructure. The most popular theory is that it is a wormhole generator, through which spaceships can travel to any place that can be reached by a wormhole.

The main reason for this support was naturally because they learned about the dominant civilization in the galaxy from the Taurus civilization.

Since the dominant civilization from the Andromeda Galaxy is going to conquer the Milky Way, they can't possibly neglect infrastructure development, right? After all, it will be part of their home in the future.

These rings release strong gravitational wave signals before they appear, which can undoubtedly achieve the same effect as Black Forest Broadcast. However, the Unified Body monitors the rings day and night and has not observed any hunter choosing to launch a Black Forest attack on the ring megastructure.

These changes in the Milky Way seem to indicate that the chaotic situation in the Milky Way is settling down, the Dark Forest is being dismantled, and the dominant civilization from Andromeda is gradually gaining absolute control over the Milky Way.

In the Atom-human society, there are many who applaud this galactic overlord civilization that came from Andromeda to the Milky Way, and it has a large number of fans.

Unfortunately, this galactic superpower civilization almost perfectly matches humanity's traditional understanding of extraterrestrial civilizations.

First, they are rational enough, unlike the Black Forest Hunters who immediately launch an attack upon receiving a message. This galactic overlord civilization is willing to communicate. Regardless of whether the communication will be successful, the mere willingness to communicate is enough to win the favor of the Atom People.

Secondly, there is a willingness to cooperate. While it cannot be said that cooperation will be 100% guaranteed, it is equivalent to the first reason. The mere fact that they are willing to cooperate with other civilizations is enough to win the favor of the Atomist society. Many Atomists have long been fed up with the oppression of the Dark Forest.

Thirdly, there is the power of strength. Strength means stability and longevity. For a galactic hegemon civilization to gain dominance over the Milky Way, it must bring order to the Milky Way and end the chaotic Dark Forest era.

Regardless of whether this dominant civilization in the galaxy has such a sense of responsibility, they will inevitably do so, because civilizations naturally reduce the entropy of the area they occupy.

To give a more intuitive example, you can compare it to a homeowner. No one can tolerate a group of unruly kids who seem to appear out of nowhere smashing and damaging their furniture and appliances.

The above reasons explain why the dominant civilizations in the galaxy are so popular within the unified entity.

Fortunately, the Atom People's government is there to keep things under control, which has temporarily deterred some restless Atom People from seeking out the dominant civilization in the galaxy to co-produce with them.

Yes, it's a temporary setback. Once we're 100% certain that the dominant civilization in the galaxy has a willingness to communicate with the unified entity, then no one will be able to stop them.

Many times, Lin Feng wondered if these people were reincarnations of Slaanesh, or if they were transferred to Warhammer, they would immediately ascend to become Slaanesh Great Demons.

As for the livelihood and culture of the Atomic Human Society, it is currently heading in a strange and erratic direction.

It wouldn't be considered abnormal, but it certainly wouldn't be considered normal either.

Atom asked his friend, "How's your Doraemon doing?"

My friend would reply, "We're still missing the technology for the four-dimensional pocket. As you know, Doraemon without the four-dimensional pocket is soulless, so I haven't activated it yet."

"Just having a pocket isn't enough; you also need those weird and wonderful props, like a 'what if' phone booth."

Because it's an open platform, other Atomists gradually joined the discussion.

"Ah... well, it's best to just think about it. If we had that kind of technology, we wouldn't be so determined to implement a strategy that doesn't exist."

"Right now, I'm just hoping to communicate with the dominant civilization in the galaxy as soon as possible and get wormhole technology from them. That way, my old lady Zi will be able to..."

"Holy crap! Are you still upstairs? Could it really be Zi Ma?"

"She's still here. My wife, Zi, just suddenly had a whim and dragged me to practice a set of military boxing. She's currently lacking in cultivation level and can't use the gap technique, but her physical skills are very good. She's probably feeling uneasy because she can't use her cultivation level."

“As the chief of the tribe, I am obligated to visit a member of the tribe who has found a partner, according to the tribe’s rules.”

"Shut up, you minotaur!"

"The warrior of pure love is here!"

"If you dare to mess around with my wife, I'll dare to mess around with you. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Ah, this..."

It's similar to the internet of the old days, but unlike then, what they're talking about isn't just wishful thinking.

Of course, not everyone can get along with each other; there will always be people who want others to agree with their ideas.

"How can you guys be so relaxed all the time? Aren't you worried at all about the situation in the galaxy?"

The Atomic Man responded to the accusers with an indifferent attitude, "What's there to worry about? The main body of the unified entity is not even in the Milky Way. If the Milky Way suddenly disappeared, it wouldn't have a big impact on us."

Atomic Man continued, "Besides, what's the point of caring about these things? We're not some big shots with any weight or influence. Why should we ordinary folks care about such big issues? Isn't it more realistic to care about whether the prices of daily necessities have gone up? There are always people who don't know their place."

“We don’t eat rice, oil, or salt now,” the critic said.

The Atom Man replied, "That was a metaphor, you understand? If you're really capable, go and woo that girl from that galactic overlord civilization. If you can't do that, don't talk about some high-class civilization. We have no interest in that, and it's not our place to care. Anyway, if the sky falls, Feng Taylor will hold it up."

Chapter 357 The Miracle in the Black Forest

"A neutrino signal was received, confirmed to be from the star uw66970hm, 72 light-years away."

"By comparing the language lists, we can confirm that it is a civilization that was once broadcast by the unified entity."

A neutrino signal was received by a hidden listening station set up by the Union in the Milky Way. Since the implementation of Plan B, the Union's understanding of the Milky Way has been increasing.

Leaving aside the universe, at least the Milky Way becomes less mysterious, and we know where war is raging and where there is peace.

The signals received by the integrated body are increasing exponentially, including electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, neutrinos, and so on.

Generally speaking, signals released outward, even if not broadcast to others, are no longer enough to attract the attention of the unified entity, because there are too many of them, and they are no longer surprising.

But this civilization is different, because it was a civilization that had been broadcast by the Unified Body. The atomic beings responsible for listening in became interested in this civilization immediately after a simple comparison of the language lists.

"A surviving civilization? How dare they broadcast signals then? Do they think they've lived too long?"

What is the content of the information?

An atomic being inquired about the contents of neutrino information.

"It's a declaration of war."

The Atom-Man, caught off guard, asked, "Declare war? Declare war against whom?"

The companion replied, "To all the malicious alien civilizations in the universe, they want to establish their own galactic empire."

Upon hearing this, the atomic beings responsible for monitoring were taken aback, and some of them couldn't help but ask a question that was both funny and absurd.

"Do they think they're very strong?"

"I don't know, but I guess that's how it is," the Atomist who translated the alien language replied. He believed that the specific reasons were probably very complicated. After all, it was a civilization, just like the humans on Earth back then. Because the Trisolarans did not agree to the conditions, they broadcast the Trisolaran coordinates and exposed themselves.

The supervisor said, "Don't worry about them. They will disappear soon. Even though they suffered the Black Forest attack, they didn't understand the Dark Forest Law of the universe. Such a stupid civilization is not worth pitying for being destroyed."

There are countless similar civilizations in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is vast. You are neither the smartest nor the dumbest, and stupidity always accounts for the vast majority.

The Unified Communities receive reports almost every year of civilizations that have exposed themselves for various reasons, and their destruction has become commonplace.
