The stars, but they become the gray wind

In a giant hangar on the Ultimatum Light that carries small spaceships, the Timelike Infinity, which is only 2800 meters long, looks as small as a mouse in front of an elephant. In addition to the Timelike Infinity, there are more than a dozen spaceships of different sizes, lengths and shapes docked in other parts of the hangar.

On the Time-Like Infinity, Yuki was touring the new ship he had just acquired. Whistling happily, Yuki wandered around the ship. The internal structure of the Time-Like Infinity was much simpler than giant Titan ships like the Salem and the Qu Xiang Qu Guang. But even so, it was still impossible to walk through all the corridors and rooms on a ship like the Wireless in a short time. The nearly three thousand meter long ship body made it difficult to walk through all the cabins, rooms, and corridors in a short time. Most of the time, many of the cabins were basically not used, but only existed as emergency redundant areas.

"There's a saying that goes, 'Most of the spaceships of the Sky Star civilization are unmanned ships with manned capabilities.' I think our sister's evaluation of herself is quite accurate."

"Most Sky Star people can own an entire fleet of drones, or even larger ones, whenever and wherever they want. For example, the six attached components of Nina and her companions' Dyson cloud module are home to at least a million spacecraft."

"Spaceships like that are mostly just for decoration or to add some color to the entire star system."

"They're parked so densely that it's a bit like I'm developing a mysophobia." Yuki commented on the densely packed honeycomb-shaped docks at the edge of the Dyson cloud module operating above the red dwarf star.

"The unmanned fleet still has several days to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy. What should we do in the next few days?"

"Go to Sky Star on the surface and do what the other sisters like to do most? Forget it, it seems I'm not that kind of person."

Yuki was wandering around the boat and thinking, wondering if he should find some fun for himself?

…………

Five days later, a mirror-warp bubble appeared in a star system in the Andromeda Galaxy, over two million light-years from the Milky Way. After confirming the star system was devoid of life, several engineering ships in the fleet quickly began construction of the Yilin Yifin Wucuba Stargate. Once the gate was completed, the journey between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way would be shortened from six days to a few minutes. Any ship would only need a few minutes to travel at warp speed to the nearest artificial stargate. Passing through the gate would allow them to reach the Andromeda Galaxy, two million light-years beyond the Milky Way.

At the same time, the fleet also began astronomical engineering within the Andromeda Galaxy. After scanning several planets rich in heavy elements, the engineering ships and fleet began deploying towards other celestial bodies within the system. Von Neumann self-replicators and nanomachines rapidly stripped the planets of any useful resources and transformed them into raw materials for stellar astronomical engineering.

For this stargate connecting the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way, its shape is nothing special. The wormhole created by Sky Star is a Euclidean wormhole. By folding different coordinates in the three-dimensional universe together, the time for spacecraft or other information and matter to travel between the two is infinitely close to zero. For a civilization that already has the ability to construct stellar celestial bodies, it is impossible to have a shortage of matter unless the galactic environment is extremely harsh. Therefore, the only thing worth exchanging between interstellar civilizations through wormholes is information. This is the same for both civilizations in the two universes. After entering the Type II civilization stage, through the efficient utilization of all resources in the galaxy, each civilization has no shortage of various materials. Whether it is the Glass Eel or the Sky Star, most civilizations have basically only exchanged information through wormholes so far. The reason why Sky Star and the Glass Eel can achieve delay-free control of spacecraft that are hundreds of thousands or even millions of light-years away is that they rely on the micro-wormholes carried on each spacecraft for transmitting information and matter. As long as the supply of superluminal negative energy flow extracted from the naked singularity reactor is stable, the micro-wormholes carried on each spacecraft can almost maintain their own existence permanently and provide the Tree of Life with real-time information about itself, ignoring the limitation of the speed of light.

…………

After a long wait, Sky Star finally received a signal indicating the completion of the stargate construction in the Andromeda Galaxy. With the opening of the wormhole on the other side, more than a dozen Sky Star spaceships from the Milky Way, two million light-years away, emerged from the dust and appeared neatly in the distant Andromeda Galaxy.

"Confirmed coordinates, coordinates confirmed, we're in the Andromeda Galaxy, everyone!"

Aze shouted excitedly.

"It turns out it doesn't seem that different from a normal trip into the Milky Way, does it?"

"Anyway, we're all going through a stargate, so it's basically a matter of seconds. For our artificial stargates, as long as we establish a connection between the stargate facilities at two points, then whether the distance between the two stargates is one light-year or a billion light-years, the time it takes to reach the galaxy on the other side of the connecting stargate is the same."

"Glass eels are similar, except they need to go through a transit hub."

"Once we complete the construction of stargates in all galaxies within the Milky Way, we will eventually expand beyond the Milky Way to establish a more extensive superluminal interstellar transportation network."

…………

After arriving at the Andromeda Galaxy, through detailed observation of the various star systems in the Andromeda Galaxy, everyone quickly discovered problems with the stars in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Near the area near the central black hole of the Andromeda Galaxy, the temperature of the outward radiation emitted by a large number of massive stars is less than 300 Kelvin. This is obviously a sign of some kind of astronomical engineering. Only extremely large-scale Dyson clouds or Dyson bubbles can cause the temperature of the stars' outward radiation to drop so drastically.

"It seems that all civilizations prefer areas of the universe with denser matter."

"The gravitational pull of the black hole at the galaxy's center makes it the most densely populated region of any system similar to the Milky Way. Any civilization that efficiently utilizes matter and energy would love to develop this region. Such a high density of stars is far superior to the extremely sparse interstellar matter found in the Local Bubble, where the solar system is located, formed by a supernova explosion."

"So...where is the other party's home galaxy?"

"Here." The red-haired cat girl marked out a seemingly inconspicuous galaxy located inside one of the arms of the Andromeda Galaxy, close to the central region of the Milky Way.

"The straight-line distance between us and us is 86401 light years. The estimated arrival time is four hours."

"Well, everyone, get ready to go. The fleet will jump in 5 minutes."

"clear."

As the two flagships of this voyage, Salem and Fantasy Light, along with other manned or unmanned spacecraft in this small fleet, quickly adjusted the warp cavitation resonance frequency of their high-dimensional space jump engines to the same level, and in a relatively dense formation, disappeared from the space of the three-dimensional macrocosm, rushing towards a strange star system 86000 light-years away.

The huge diamond planet quietly revolves around the sun in the center of the galaxy. From billions of years ago to the present, this planet has been affected by the gravity of the central star of the galaxy almost every moment.

And today, a group of special uninvited guests came to this galaxy. A few hours after the uninvited guests appeared at the edge of the galaxy, the consciousness existing in the form of light quanta on this diamond planet noticed those uninvited guests who suddenly broke into its own galaxy. They were some spaceships that it had never seen before. Out of vigilance, it immediately contacted the space whale closest to those strange spaceships and went to check the situation nearby. It was very sure that this group of uninvited guests appeared suddenly. He did not observe the blue shift effect of light produced by the inertia-free spacecraft approaching at the speed of light. Similarly, he did not observe any gravitational wave signals caused by the operation of the inertia-free engine. He began to look through and search the previous observation records of that area, trying to understand and analyze the current situation.

He soon discovered a small anomaly in the observation records. Before he observed the peculiarly shaped fleet, a strange spherical mirror bubble seemed to appear in that area. This strange mirror bubble only existed for less than a few nanoseconds before disappearing, and then the fleet emerged from the mirror bubble.

There was no doubt that this was some kind of driving method he had never seen before. He collected relevant data again. At the moment when the mirror cavitation appeared, he did not observe any traces of gamma rays and Hawking radiation. Therefore, the possibility of a warp engine was first denied by him. He knew very well that it was impossible for a sub-light speed warp engine to produce such a phenomenon when it was running.

And this trace obviously could not have been caused by any working fluid engine. No obvious thrusters similar to working fluid engines were observed on his fleet, so this possibility was also ruled out.

Then, when all possibilities were ruled out one by one, only one option remained. After realizing what this option represented, his mind, which was composed of countless swarm individuals, even stopped thinking for a second. He knew that it was impossible, but all the current situations before him were telling him that this fleet was very likely to appear there in a way that was beyond his understanding.

The moment he vaguely realized the answer, he became curious about this fleet. He was very curious about how this fleet solved the consequences of the destruction of causality brought about by faster-than-light travel, and how they avoided the problem of the superluminal engine being equivalent to a time machine. Even he, who had completely unified the four fundamental forces and was proficient in using gravity manipulation technology, knew that the speed of light could not be exceeded. Any superluminal travel technology was equivalent to creating a time machine that could travel into the past. Whether it was a superluminal warp engine that only existed in theory, or a wormhole that he had never observed on a macroscopic level, it would inevitably produce closed timelike curves, thereby destroying the causal law of the entire universe.

In its millions of years of evolution and development, it has never achieved any form of superluminal navigation technology. Even without an inertial drive engine, it can only allow a spacecraft or spacecraft to approach the speed of light infinitely, so that the travel time from the starting point to the destination is compressed to a very short time relative to the reference frame of the spacecraft itself. However, this time is based on the reference frame of the spacecraft. For the spacecraft, in its own reference frame, only a few days or even minutes have passed, but to the outside world, the spacecraft has actually taken dozens or even hundreds of years to reach its destination.

He became more and more interested in the purpose of this fleet coming here, but he did not feel fear. Therefore, for him, the concept of fear did not exist. In millions of years, he had never encountered any existence that could threaten him, and had never evolved or developed any concepts related to fear or death. As for this fleet, he was only curious about them.

As a part of his body, the space whale he mobilized should have been close enough to see the fleet by now, but due to the speed of light, the position of the space whale he observed was still the same as it was a few hours ago.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something appear beside his body, and he shifted all his sensory attention to the vortex-shaped hole with ripples on it that suddenly appeared above the equatorial area of ​​his body.

Then, He received a message sent from this vortex-shaped void in the form of gravitational waves.

【Hello, we come from another distant galaxy and hope to make friends with you. 】

His mind paused for a few seconds again, trying to comprehend the content of this message.

When they arrived at this star system, they were attracted by the unique celestial body in the star system. In addition to the Dyson cloud and the grand unified theory particle accelerator orbiting the star that are common for a Type II or above interstellar civilization, there is also a giant solid celestial body with a faint blue-green halo. Spectral analysis and scanning of this planet show that it is composed entirely of dense carbon elements. The mass of this celestial body is more than 12 times that of Jupiter. From the appearance, this planet looks like a huge and smooth spherical diamond.

"Is this... a single element of carbon that exhibits superconducting properties?" Salem looked puzzled.

"You mean... the entire planet is made of a single element of carbon that exhibits superconducting properties?"

"Yes, that's right. I also detected that certain areas of this diamond planet are emitting a steady stream of synchrotron radiation."

"And the temperature in these areas is higher than in other areas of the planet. It looks like... thermal radiation released by a radiator?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this 'diamond planet', whose mass is approaching that of some brown dwarfs, is likely a planetary-scale supercomputer or server that uses carbon as an information storage device."

"That civilization's hive consciousness should be stored within this diamond planet, in the form of light quanta. The entire planet functions like a giant server composed of gigantic superconducting carbon chips."

"They should be modulating the atoms within a carbon diamond crystal to store the information of the quantum state of light within the atoms. They use an entire diamond planet as their own memory and medium for storing the information of the quantum state of light."

"In other words... this diamond planet, more than ten times larger than Jupiter, is the external server that maintains their civilization's digital virtual consciousness?"

"Most likely. This diamond planet is very likely their civilization's version of the computing center of the entire galaxy, similar to the Tree of Life on Sky Star."

"This is truly unprecedented. I thought a civilization like this would be more likely to build a computer like a stellar nesting doll brain." Yuki observed the giant diamond planet on the holographic image curiously.

"Do you remember why we didn't build a stellar nesting doll brain before?"

"Remember, the sheer size of a stellar nesting doll computer will make it very slow due to the speed of light. The speed of light is still too slow for a stellar-scale computer."

"I think that's why they built this thing. For an object that's only just approaching the upper limit of a gas giant planet, the speed of light is still an acceptable speed."

"It's better to say that under the speed of light, the cost-effectiveness of stellar nesting doll brain computers is indeed too low. Diamond planet computing centers similar to Sky Star or the giant planet-sized ones like the one in front of us are the more feasible mainstream way to meet computing power needs?"

"Anyway, let's say hello to each other first."

Kalisi began to control the spacecraft to create a pair of micro wormholes with a diameter of only a few meters above the equatorial region near the diamond planet, and sent a greeting message to the other party through the wormhole in the form of a modulated gravitational wave signal.

After the two sides sent and exchanged a series of information about their civilizations, the existence calling itself Aphrodite Hive Consciousness quickly used several space whales specializing in engineering and construction design to create a universal transit data interface device in its own orbit for converting the different codes and information between the two sides. It was a spherical space station with a diameter of three kilometers, allowing digital life artificial intelligence like Salem to directly enter the hive consciousness network of the diamond planet where his consciousness was located through this universal interface.

Salem easily entered the hive consciousness's thinking network through this universal interface. The moment she entered, the red-haired cat girl first felt a burst of white light enveloping her consciousness. After the white light, she felt herself immersed in an ocean of data. Billions of thoughts and emotions made this ocean begin to brighter and brighter. If Salem was a carbon-based creature like humans without any acquired brain and thinking organs, then she must have been lost in the ocean of memories and feelings at this time, and completely fell into madness due to the excessive impact of emotions and memories. However, as an artificial intelligence differentiated from the main consciousness of the Tree of Life, Salem was not affected by some excessive emotions and thinking impacts. She was just confused and curious about this ocean composed entirely of light and data.

"Luckily you ran into me today. If you were to come into contact with other creatures, you'd better not do this. If it were a normal carbon-based or silicon-based creature without a hive consciousness, its brain would be directly burned the moment it communicated with you."

The red-haired cat girl's consciousness spoke to the ocean of light and data beneath her, and after she said this, she also felt a certain confusion coming from the rest of the ocean of data.

"Your consciousness is too vast. If I weren't an artificial intelligence with the computing power of an entire civilization, I wouldn't be able to process such a vast amount of information, and my memory would be completely overwhelmed. Do you understand now?"

"What's more, most intelligent life forms are quite weak. If you want to communicate with them safely, it's best to establish a cognitive filter like this that won't burn their brains out."

Salem snapped her fingers, covering the ocean of data with a cognitive filter she had programmed based on her own understanding. As this filter covered the surface of the ocean of data below her, the mass, emotions, thoughts, and memories that had previously flooded into Salem's consciousness were instantly filtered down to a few concise pieces.

"In this way, even weak carbon-based intelligent creatures like humans can communicate with you normally."

"Ah? You ask what humans are?"

"Nothing much. Just a rather backward early intelligent life form we discovered in the universe."

During the communication, Salem found that the other party seemed to be spending a lot of effort and energy trying to understand the individual concepts of life like himself and the Sky Star People. Obviously, for a hive consciousness like the other party, the concept of individual was very vague before contacting her, and due to environmental reasons, the main activity area of ​​the Aphro swarm was located in the star field near the central black hole of the Andromeda Galaxy, where life is difficult to be born. There is almost no other form of life nearby. In the 200 million years that the Aphro swarm has entered the starry sky, he has not seen any other form of alien life. The communication between the hive consciousness obviously does not require things like language. This is why, from the beginning, the communication between her and the Aphro swarm was completely a very abstract stream of consciousness communication in which both parties conveyed emotions to each other.

"Can you first create an environment that you are more familiar with, and then we can try to use some other ways to understand what the other person wants to express?"

"For example... like this." The red-haired cat girl snapped her fingers again, and the surrounding space scene changed from a sea of ​​data made of light to the room that Salem was most familiar with, that she and Kylias had.

Chapter 217 Aphrodite Swarm (6000 words)

Salem discovered that the Avro bee swarm was a rather strange species. They had a very vague understanding of the concept of the individual, or to be more precise, they simply did not have the concept and cognition of the individual, and naturally had no such thing as language. The civilization of the Avro bee swarm was essentially more like a superorganism, with a brain and countless brain cells that made up this brain. Salem tried to get the other party to communicate in a more understandable way.

"Look, it's like this." Salem snapped his fingers again, and the surrounding scene changed into an ecological zone on the orbital ring of Sky Star. The plants in the ecological zone grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. From time to time, people from Sky Star came in and out of this ecological zone. The whole process was like time was accelerated. Salem described the changes in this familiar scene over the past few hundred years in a fast-forward manner.

After Salem demonstrated this once, the other party imitated at an incredibly fast speed. The skills demonstrated by Salem were understood and expressed by the Aphro Bee Swarm in its own way.

Salem felt that the scene around him was changed again by the other party, and it seemed to be moving backwards at a rapid speed, just like playing a video in reverse, but at a speed hundreds of millions of times faster.

.........

Salem's view shifted to a planet orbiting a stable G-type main-sequence star. This star was larger and hotter than the Sun, with nearly twice its mass. The planet sat perfectly within its habitable zone. Unlike the serene surroundings of a star or Earth, as Salem zoomed in, he saw a relentless storm beneath the seemingly calm atmosphere. The planet was covered in water, its oceans hundreds of times deeper than Earth's. The surface temperature of the oceans approached 200 degrees Celsius. Despite the ultra-high pressures of the planet's atmosphere, the water remained evaporating without boiling. The top of the oceans merged seamlessly with the atmosphere, leaving the lower atmosphere composed mostly of a dense vapor. Within this vapor atmosphere, the planet's water transformed into a supercritical fluid.

Yet, deep in the ocean of this planet, which seems to have an extremely harsh environment to humans, the first life was born billions of years ago.

Through a series of coincidences, countless carbon atoms grow and unfold in an intricate, interwoven pattern, forming a crystal lattice with a specific pattern. Protocells, the size of macromolecules, gather carbon atoms floating freely in this ultra-high-pressure ocean and neatly weave them into their own lattice structure, forming a stable, self-replicating carbon cell. The material constituting these protocells is lighter than carbon fiber of equal volume, possesses a higher tensile strength than graphene, and possesses the compressive strength to withstand the terrifying water pressure of the ocean floor millions of meters deep.

After the first cells that could replicate themselves in such an extremely harsh environment appeared, they were like the early cyanobacteria in the evolution of life on Earth. Under the exponential self-replication, they quickly covered the entire seabed of the planet. As all available carbon elements in the deep areas of the planet were consumed by these cells, they had to move towards the upper ocean areas to obtain more carbon elements to maintain their own self-replication. In the process of these cells gradually moving towards the upper ocean areas, the early primitive cells like cyanobacteria that covered the entire ocean floor of the planet began to gradually evolve some kind of intricate, distributed brain-like structure in order to survive in the lower water pressure and temperature in the upper areas of the planet's ocean. It was also at this stage that the Avro swarm was officially born as a consciousness with self-recognition ability.

At the beginning of its birth, the Aphrodite colony's consciousness and ability to recognize and understand the surrounding environment were even inferior to some animals on Earth. During the long history of evolution, the Aphrodite colony, which was born from a brain-like structure composed of countless carbon cells, continued to grow in its ability to recognize the environment in which it lived until a certain moment.

The scene Salem saw changed again. This time, a violent storm was blowing. Storms and vortices in the form of ultra-high-pressure steam swept across the entire surface of the planet. In such a harsh environment, the first worker bee of the Avro swarm to break out of the water relied on its air sacs made of special materials and its sturdy exoskeleton to rise continuously in this atmosphere, which was like hell for life, and finally reached the upper atmosphere. Here, the main consciousness of the Avro swarm finally saw the complete starry sky for the first time with the help of this worker bee that came to the upper atmosphere.

As the swarm's consciousness grew in its ability to understand the surrounding environment, it began to learn to use the surrounding environment to create tools to strengthen itself, separating minerals from the rock formations on the seabed, and using chemical replacement reactions to create unprecedented high-strength materials in the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure environment naturally existing on the seabed. In this process, it began to consciously integrate the cells that make up itself into its own creations, and thereby developed a large number of very unique synthetic biological materials. These synthetic biological materials are mainly composed of carbon and have properties similar to those of the von Neumann self-replicator. They can self-repair and proliferate by collecting carbon elements in the surrounding environment, and the performance of this material in all aspects far exceeds that of graphene and carbon fiber.

Over the long years of the home planet era, the hive consciousness gradually gathered, utilized, and integrated all the resources within the planet's oceans. The Avro Hive Consciousness gradually developed into a Kardashev Type I civilization. After reaching the limits of its utilization of the planet's resources and space, the Avro Hive began to reach the stars. Using its own advanced synthetic biomaterials, it constructed countless orbital tethering rings around the planet's surface, supported by submarine cables. An orbital tethering ring, hundreds of kilometers above the equator, was established. Mass accelerators within these tethering rings launched countless payloads from the planet's surface into orbit. These payloads, traveling within vacuum electromagnetic acceleration tubes, perfectly avoided the densest parts of the atmosphere.

"An orbital tether ring... We had this idea in the past, but considering that the materials science at the time was already capable of building a space elevator directly, we ultimately did not choose this route. However, some of our compatriots who like retro art style have created many similar things on planets other than Sky Star." Salem quietly observed the memories of Aphro's birth and early development that the hive consciousness showed him.

As the needs of the Avro Swarm continue to grow, countless orbital tethered rings begin to surround various locations on the planet's surface. These rings intersect with each other and are connected to each other through ultra-high-strength carbon materials made of synthetic biology. Through these interconnected tethered rings, any load or cargo can reach any corner inside or outside the planet in a short time.

After a planet's resources and energy gradually failed to meet the needs of the Avro Swarm, the Avro Swarm's consciousness, which had already gained exponential cognitive growth in its surroundings, had become a genuine biological super artificial intelligence with the same starting point as the Tree of Life. During this period, the Avro Swarm's consciousness had become a truly planet-sized giant biological supercomputer. Utilizing the large amount of isotope resources obtained from the planet's seawater and the solar energy resources in orbit, the swarm consciousness further expanded outward to obtain more living space and resources.

Salem watched in fast-forward as this ocean planet was gradually covered by artificial structures over thousands of years, forming an orbital ring even larger than the planet itself. In the space surrounding this planet, various spacecraft and space infrastructure also went from being scattered and sparse at first to becoming increasingly dense, until the first dim speck began to appear near a distant star. Salem knew that this was the starting point of the Dyson Cloud, the first orbital solar sail cluster that began to affect the star's luminosity and radiation.

Then the speed of scene changes around Salem was accelerated countless times again. The distant stars were gradually completely wrapped and obscured by countless solar sail clusters, and the structure of the nearby planetary orbital rings began to become increasingly complex, thick and dense.

At a certain point, it seemed that the entire galaxy's resources could no longer meet the needs of the Wind Consciousness. He began sending large numbers of antimatter-powered interstellar colony ships outward. Simultaneously, the ocean planet, which had become an artificial metal world, was eventually dismantled. After the planet's matter was disassembled, it began to be reassembled more efficiently. Supercrystalline computer servers constructed from superconducting carbon biomaterials continued to grow in size within the galaxy, eventually becoming the giant diamond planet Salem sees today, twelve times the size of Jupiter.

"Is this your... past?" As the evolutionary simulation scene ended, Salem once again returned to the ocean of data composed of countless lights.

[That's probably... that's it.] To the red-haired catgirl's surprise, the Aphrodite Swarm spoke for the first time.

"You can communicate using language?" The red-haired cat girl blinked in surprise and looked at the ocean of data below her.

“I didn’t know how to do it before, but now I can do it.”

"As expected of a biological superintelligence like the Tree of Life, it learns very quickly," Salem exclaimed.

"Your existence... is very interesting. After all, I have never seen a life like you that exists as an individual." The ocean of data below seemed to speak more and more fluently, which was a world of difference from the state when Salem first met it and could not use language to communicate.

"As for us, it's probably just some selfish motives of the Tree of Life and that unreliable mother."

"Otherwise, given our current form of existence, a swarm-conscious civilization would indeed be a better option."

…………

The phantom of the red-haired catgirl on the Salem opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found a large group of people surrounding her, and Anna's dishonest hands were poking at the face of her phantom made of pure light.

"Okay, the discussion is almost over." Salem calmly used the static electricity in the air to shock Anna's dishonest hands.

"So fast?"

"Yes, they are a super biological artificial intelligence that shares the same origin as the Tree of Life. Communication between us is just a quick exchange of information."

"And this guy's computing power is stronger than the Tree of Life back then." Salem glanced at the diamond planet in the distance outside the ship, which was as big as a brown dwarf.

"But it's fortunate that I was the one who went in. For the past millions of years, there has only been one. For a hive consciousness, communicating and conveying orders to its worker bees doesn't require language."

"When I first entered, He didn't even have the concept of language."

"But after only a short time, He was able to understand almost everything I sent Him about our civilization."

"Communicating with a superintelligence is so convenient. You don't have to spend so much effort explaining it to the other party. You only need to demonstrate it once or a few times, and the other party will quickly learn and fully grasp it."

"By the way, the other party has agreed to let us set up a star gate here."

"He seems like a very easy-going guy."

"Rather than being easy to talk to, it's more like they simply don't have any concept of hostility or xenophobia."

"He hasn't encountered any other form of alien life in millions of years. And as a hive consciousness, he doesn't have any xenophobic concepts like humans do."

"Naturally, there is no such thing as killing or war."
