Chapter 220 The Probability of Pessimism
Judging from the situation in the star map, the "unexpected enemy" has currently occupied four star fields, which are roughly located in several corners of the galaxy's spiral arms, covering thousands of star systems.
Judging from the status of "natural disaster", the expansion speed of "accidental enemy" is not fast, and it is about at the middle level of the "galactic crisis" that has occurred in the past, and it is not as fast as the "cordyceps disease" that cannot make leaps. "Go up that little bit faster.
This seems to be somewhat out of step with its hierarchy.
After using suicide detection methods and spending a lot of resources, the galactic civilizations understood what was going on.
The "Accidental Enemy" carries out a very thorough "purification". It will meticulously check whether the planets in the galaxy have life, and the possibility of life, and then destroy the planets by its means.
The most common way is to blow up the surface of the planet into barrenness, even the atmosphere is burned up, and the entire planet will become uninhabitable in a few decades.
However, the "unexpected enemy" did not directly use "violent means" to destroy the entire galaxy, the most efficient method, as the galactic civilization imagined.
Instead, confirm the status of the planets in the galaxy bit by bit, and then carry out targeted "purification".
This allowed the civilizations of the galaxy to gradually understand the status of the "Active Purification Protocol". In a sense, it is also the "Guardian of the Galaxy", but it guards the Galaxy itself, and it crazily seizes and utilizes the resources of the Galaxy and throws garbage everywhere. The galactic civilization of China is a "pest" in its eyes.
In addition to this kind of purification against the planet, the "accidental enemy" has also started a "cleaning" operation against the galactic civilization.
Although it can be seen from the star map that it has only spread to a small area of thousands of star systems, in fact its fleet has already reached the borders of various galactic civilizations, destroyed hundreds of space outposts, and continued to Civilization advances.
Like most crises, "Accidental Enemy" is also capable of "teleportation" transitions, and the long galaxy distance is nothing more than a few sunrises and sunsets for it.
However, its advance speed is still not that fast. Every time those "accidental enemy" fleets invade a galaxy, they will stay in the galaxy for a long period of time to "purify", which gives the galactic civilizations sufficient preparation time .
On the home planet of the Tinder Alliance, a large number of people are coming in and out of places similar to the "government center". They all come with missions, and they are working day and night with high intensity at this unusual moment.
"...In summary, leader, our 'Natural Disaster Emergency Plan' is going well. The Spark Fleet has hidden in an unknown galaxy and cut off all communication. We will not receive their signal again for at least two hundred years. "
"..."
A staff member reported the progress of the plan, but saw that the leader seemed to be thinking about something, and his attention was not on this matter.
Until the end of the report, the leader also looked like he was in deep thought, and the staff didn't say anything to remind him, because he knew why the leader was thinking, and it's best not to interrupt him at this time.
Shortly after the "Guardian" issued the "Restart Announcement", this "Awakened Empire" fell into silence again.
If it weren’t for the galactic civilizations being able to detect signs of movement of a large number of “Guardian” fleets, they would have thought that the “Guardian” had something wrong again.
However, given the impression that the "Guardian" itself is very taciturn, most civilizations don't pay much attention to the "Guardian"'s lack of words.
After all, the former "Guardian" was also like this. During the process from the decision to attack to the resolution of the crisis, he basically didn't say a word, and quietly eliminated the crisis.
So they did something no one had done in almost a long time—reached out to the Guardians.
When the "Guardian" first emerged in the galaxy, almost all civilizations tried to communicate with this "lost machine intelligence".
The response from the "Guardian" is also very omnic-like. The reply everyone receives is a semi-automatic "answer window", which directly records several "responses to frequently asked questions", such as:
【Who are you? (This question has been asked 44159106 times)]
【Guardian Matrix】
【what is your purpose? (This question has been asked 32114514 times)]
【The request has been denied】
【Who is your creator? (This question has been asked 22933089 times)]
【The request has been denied】
【…】
This semi-automatic "answer window" records all the questions that have been asked more than 10,000 times, but 99% of the answers are "requests have been denied", which makes civilizations who want to know more about the "Guardian" equivalent to It was shut down.
Although some people expect that there will be some changes in this "question and answer window" one day, after a long wait, when people find that there is no change in this "question and answer window" except that the number of inquiries is still increasing, this "expectation" is also true. was gradually forgotten.
For a long time in the past, no one tried to contact the "Guardian" actively. After all, they would memorize the content of the "Question and Answer Window" with their eyes closed, and the "Guardian" would usually notify the whole galaxy if there was anything wrong. It doesn't matter if you contact the "Guardian" or not.
The Pyro Alliance never thought of contacting the "Guardian" at first, and this "diplomatic means" was almost subconsciously forgotten by them on the "Guardian".
It wasn't until a boring person in their civilization accidentally discovered a change in the "Guardian" that they regained this "diplomatic means".
That is a "boring man" who has conducted more than one million inquiries by himself. Since he himself works on the space station, he will question the "Guardian"'s "Question and Answer Window" in his spare time every day. .
According to him, he will feel very fulfilled watching those numbers continue to rise due to his efforts.
And it is precisely because of this "unintentional" that the Tinder Alliance discovered the change of the "Guardian" before other civilizations.
The most notable thing is that the content of the "Question and Answer Window" has changed significantly.
The familiar questions and answers in the past have all been replaced by special content:
【{To prevent redundant processes from occupying memory, this page will be publicized}】
【Notice: The "Guardian Matrix" has been restarted, and the goal has been reset to - eliminate the "Purification Terminal"】
【According to calculations, the current crisis resolution success rate: 20.3%】
