Chapter 108 Strange Cycle
The meeting place of the "Galaxy Community" was very lively, or overly lively.
Due to various reasons, the representatives of these civilizations fought directly in the conference hall. If everyone was not trying to restrain themselves, it might have turned into a **** conflict.
"...Do you protect your X space whale? Have you finished saving the indigenous civilization or rebuilt the nature reserve, and you are here to control the space wild animals?"
"...Heh! Has your interests been touched? Killing space whales is one of your important incomes, right? I think you are just greedy!"
This was the initial scolding war. The issue raised by the Tinder Alliance was ridiculed by another civilization, and then the language conflict between the two sides continued to escalate until it turned into a physical conflict.
Someone saw something wrong and tried to attract everyone's attention with a new topic. As a result, the topic he proposed "Space Amoeba Protection Act" attracted more people's ridicule.
So more than one person, more and more people raised more incredible issues.
For example, some kind of embargo issue that will cause more than 90% of civilizations to be sanctioned, and this 90% even includes the civilization behind the issuer.
These incomprehensible topics further led to confusion in the meeting, and it was difficult to proceed with the discussion.
Normal issues that can be discussed, such as "banning robot labor" and "limiting the expansion of arms", were covered up, causing the conference hall to fall into chaos.
Even those security personnel responsible for stabilizing the order did not know how to stop the commotion because of the intricate relationship between civilizations.
Li Wenyuan, who directly invaded the monitoring of the conference venue and saw what was going on inside, didn't know what to say.
Xinghai is united, but it is also divided. This situation should have been expected long ago.
Such a scene reminded him of the earth.
"...Conflicts can arise within civilizations, let alone a large group of interstellar civilizations with different origins, different cultures, different ideas, and different thinking?"
He shook his head, and decided to temporarily break away from the identity of a "witness" to quell the farce.
So, all the equipment in the conference room, which was originally normal, suddenly had a large number of errors, and all the original lights were flashing dangerous red, which looked like something bad was about to happen.
This kind of abnormality finally calmed down the representatives in the field temporarily, and looked at the scene in front of them in amazement.
Especially the personnel in charge of maintaining the space station, who are sweating profusely in rush repairs, but they are completely powerless against the existence that invaded here.
In the end, a holographic projection of a string of red characters appeared on the seats in front of all the civilization representatives.
【Subject: Establishment of Pan-Galaxy Trade Market】
【Propose Civilization: Guardian】
After that, the red light covering the meeting room returned to calm, and the equipment that kept popping up error reports also returned to normal. Everything before seemed to be an illusion, only the holographic projection that was still showing words was telling what happened just now .
At this moment, everyone immediately understood that the representatives who had been fighting just now silently returned to their seats, and started the first round of discussions on topics in a real sense.
But in fact, there is no need to discuss this matter, because the identity of the proposer is enough for this issue to pass.
In the end, "Establishing a Pan-Galaxy Trade Market" became the first goal of the "Galaxy Community" with a 100% pass rate.
After that, various issues were proposed in turn, and after a "harmonious discussion", it was decided whether to pass or not.
The "Guardian" never appeared again after raising an issue, but all the representatives of civilizations present felt ashamed.
They felt that they were really inappropriate, so they fought directly in the venue, and finally even needed the "guardian" to come forward.
How would their actions make the Guardian of the Galaxy think of them? Do you think they are a bunch of idiots?
All in all, the First Galactic Conference ended in peaceful exchange.
As for the initial topic proposed by the Tinder Alliance: the establishment of a space whale protection law, it was retained until the next meeting with the result of 35% in favor, 35% against, and 30% abstention.
Although they were unwilling, they also knew that this would not be a problem that could be resolved in a short time, so they had to continue to do various "protection of space whales" propaganda, hoping to pass this issue at the next meeting.
The worker bee of "Pressolin" returned to the "Hatchery" early when the battleships released the fireworks, and it felt that its mission had been completed.
Li Wenyuan, who lamented that "Galaxy still needs more growth", dragged Gray Wind away from the triple star.
"Sigh~ I don't think it's interesting..." Gray Wind seemed quite bored, it seemed that this trip to the "Galaxy Community" didn't give her enough fun.
Li Wenyuan felt okay, but the fun in Hui Feng's eyes was different from the fun in ordinary people's eyes.
After thinking for a while, he remembered the anomaly he had discovered somewhere in the Milky Way, so he jumped there with the gray wind.
"Any new adventures here?"
"...It feels like a new adventure, after all, this galaxy is too special..."
He jumped to a special "black hole galaxy".
Because of the battle with the "Ring", he had no chance to come here, but now he has time.
This is a "black hole galaxy". A medium-sized black hole in the center replaces ordinary stars and becomes the main source of gravity for this galaxy.
And the most special thing here is that all the planets here are "dead planets".
Dead planets are a special kind of colonial planets in the Milky Way. Generally speaking, dead planets are "habitable planets" that have lost most of their habitability after a series of events such as wars and catastrophes.
Most civilized species cannot survive on it, but there are indeed creatures living on this planet, such as certain insects similar to cockroaches, which live very moist on this planet.
Therefore, this kind of planet is regarded as a "livable candidate". When the technological level of civilization or the environmental suitability of species is significantly improved, the dead planet will become a reliable colony.
And this black hole galaxy has more than ten dead planets, not even an asteroid belt or a gas giant planet, but all these "livable candidate" stars, which makes Li Wenyuan feel that there is something wrong here.
It is unclear whether it is related to humans, but he believes that after exploration, he will be able to discover the secrets here.
So after bringing Gray Wind here, he began to scan those dead planets one by one.
The black hole is spinning and time is passing.
To Li Wenyuan's surprise, he didn't find any abnormalities on these dead planets, just like the names of the planets, except for dead silence.
"...Could it be that the secrets in it have been taken away by people first? Or is it really formed naturally..."
He was still thinking about the situation in this galaxy, but he didn't notice Gray Wind's increasingly weird expression.
She began to look at the black hole in the center of the galaxy from time to time, as if she heard something.
But the equipment on Li Wenyuan's research spacecraft did not detect any signal.
It wasn't until he was about to leave that he saw Gray Wind's hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" He was a little surprised, according to Gray Wind's character, she shouldn't make such an expression.
Grey Wind thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "...I seem to hear something calling me..."
"What?" Li Wenyuan was taken aback, and then checked the readings of the equipment on the spacecraft again. He was sure that no abnormalities were detected.
But Gray Wind pointed at the black hole, as if he didn't know what expression to show now: "...it seems to be coming from the black hole... I know it's against common sense and idealistic, but I feel it's in that direction..."
What she said made Li Wenyuan gradually frowned. He began to look at the black hole cautiously, and then said to Gray Wind:
"...Don't follow me, I'll let the spaceship go over and have a look."
Saying that, the scientific research spacecraft began to accelerate and approach the black hole.
The black hole is still spinning, but the matter that is pulled in by its gravity and rubbed at high speed emits so many rays that it forms a luminous accretion disk around the black hole.
Looks... like a "ring"?
At a certain moment, Li Wenyuan thought of the "end of reincarnation" in the imaginary world, but he quickly denied this guess, and increased the scanning of the spaceship instead.
It wasn't until after reaching a very dangerous distance that the spacecraft finally detected a certain weak special signal.
This signal is like being bound around the black hole. Only when you bravely approach this distance can you discover this series of signals.
And Li Wenyuan is also very familiar with this signal, which means it is related to humans.
With doubts, he interpreted the signal.
This seems to be a piece of audio, and many parts have been dissipated in the long river of time, but the content still surprised Li Wenyuan.
【—{signal interruption}{signal interruption} appeared again】
【It was me who was named this time, more than ten of our warriors entered here, and then did not return】
【Everyone is trying to persuade me not to go in, but the last instinct of my life is telling me that this is a journey I have to go through】
【I am a professor, a person who has studied physics all his life, and now my life is coming to an end, in this black hole】
【But it would also be a great discovery, because I saw the end of time, the never-ending cycle】
【And everything will be recorded here】
This passage sounds very strange, and it also makes Li Wenyuan wonder where to record it in the file.
But the database's response to this signal made Li Wenyuan's consciousness stagnate.
【Singular cycle】
