Chapter 228 Blow up again
Ghost signal, this is a sharp sword that has always been hanging over the head of the galaxy civilization.
The beginning of this crisis was due to the spread of the "ghost signal". The "unexpected enemy" is in crisis.
They assumed that the anomalous spread of "ghost signals" must have had some effect of which they were unaware.
The facts are indeed close to their guesses. The spread of the "ghost signal" showed Li Wenyuan the positions of many key galaxies, and at the same time provided him with extremely important information.
The crisis of the "unexpected enemy" has actually officially begun since the 20-year countdown.
However, just as accidents always happen, "Accidental Enemy" does not always follow the "predicted" time.
Abnormally, it once betrayed the "Guardian Matrix", and it is quite normal to conduct the "Galaxy Exam" led by it at an unexpected time.
When there was still a long time before the countdown ended, it was activated again through manual activation, and then announced that it would purify the galaxy.
The sudden and extremely destructive "ghost signal" caused huge losses to the galactic civilization, but it came and went quickly, and a few months were fleeting.
This speed is not even as fast as the spread time of some epidemics, but it has never been underestimated by the galactic civilizations.
After all, the "Guardian" is not unused. This kind of weird signal virus has always been classified as a weapon.
But during the period of fighting with the "unexpected enemy", no one detected signs of the "ghost signal" being activated again, neither the "unexpected enemy" nor the "guardian group".
At first they thought that the "ghost signal" was of no use to these two machine intelligences, so they did not use it on the battlefield.
But after the intensified domestic riots were exposed, they realized that the confrontation had already started secretly, but the target was them.
【The "vaccine" program has been installed along with the "ghost signal", and now all civilizations will no longer be invaded by the "ghost signal"】
The announcement of the "Guardian" is still lingering in the hearts of every high-level person who knows the news.
And many self-proclaimed genius network engineers have long begun to screen civilized networks for traces of "ghost signal" infections.
Their expertise told them that "everything is normal", but after the "Guardian" exposed the conspiracy of the "Unexpected Enemy", they discovered that the "perfect" firewall had long been infiltrated and riddled with holes.
Maybe when the "ghost signal" was first infected, the seeds of disaster were planted in those places, waiting for the right time to explode.
Countless seemingly normal nodes were marked and interrupted by some kind of prominent signal, and then waited for these engineers to fix it.
The images of the "Battle of the Stargate" that were circulated on the Internet before have been confirmed to have flowed from these external nodes.
Besides, tracing the roots of these nodes eventually point to countless buildings that have long been abandoned.
Some of them are hidden deep in the mountains and forests, some are hidden in space junk, and the pieced together machines are operating in them, and some of the missing robots are also hidden here.
After putting on the bionic coat, these disguised infiltrators fueled the flames of public opinion, and at the same time secretly planned a series of sabotage and assassination operations.
Even if this can only be traced, there is no need to say much about the mastermind behind these incidents.
This makes the galactic civilizations feel cold sweat even more. Even if they have a "galactic crisis" that far exceeds their strength, they will use this "despicable" method to increase the probability of achieving their goals.
They are even thinking, if they also have strong strength, will they also regard those enemies who are far weaker than themselves as "opponents" in the war?
Although the bane left by the "unexpected enemy" has caused troubles and even harm to many civilizations, none of the idealistic civilizations and hive civilizations have been affected.
The idealistic civilization that often uses psychic energy to communicate with the mind can tell at a glance that those guys wearing bionic clothes are not human, while the collective thinking of the hive civilization makes them never have infiltrators.
The "worry" within civilization has been temporarily resolved. After knowing the reason and having the help of the "vaccine" planted by the "Guardian" in the civilization network, the chaos in the past was confirmed to be caused by the enemy of the galaxy.
What needs their attention most now is the further increase in the intensity of the war and the new assistance opened by the "Guardian".
The published content has basically not changed, but there are new things in the column of "Aid".
【In order to improve the probability of crisis resolution, you can seek the following assistance from this machine】
【①: Guardian fleet; ②: Resources you need; ③: Research reinforcement; ④: Shelter; ⑤: Shelter; ⑥: Shelter】
【Remarks: "Purification terminal" is very dangerous, I hope these can help you】
Different from the expected "new reinforcements", the additional "shelter" was also a "shelter". This weird situation immediately sparked fierce debate.
All civilizations instantly realized something bad, just like the behavior of the former "civilization destroyer".
When the "cordyceps disease" was raging, they were asked to "refuge" in order to prevent the crisis from spreading to the greatest extent.
The background of this situation at that time was the "benevolent shelter" in disguise. They believed that this could increase the probability of resolving the crisis. Only by reducing the defense area could they concentrate on fighting the enemies of the galaxy.
And now, the redundant "shelter" option seems to indicate the same reason:
—The "Guardian" may be overwhelmed, and this last resort must be used to preserve the fire.
The extra "shelter" may be enough to accommodate the civilization of the entire galaxy.
This undoubtedly caused some galactic civilizations who regarded the "Guardian" as their savior to panic. They never imagined that the "Guardian" who seemed to be synonymous with "invincible" would have a day when he couldn't hold on.
But because the "Guardians" did not directly ask them to take refuge, most civilizations still feel that sticking to their current positions is the best choice.
Even the Tinder Alliance, which always had great trust in the "Guardian", hesitated a little at this time.
If the "guardian" ordered them to take refuge, they would definitely do it without hesitation. Now this ambiguous hint makes them undecided.
So even if the "assistance" of the "Guardian" has changed, the galactic civilization has generally maintained the same state as before, sticking to its position and relying on the "Guardian Fleet" to catch fish that slipped through the net.
They are not idle in developing themselves, relying on the nearly unlimited resources provided by the "Guardian" and scientific research assistance, they are also making extraordinary progress.
Technology such as the "jump engine" that they had never dared to think of, also raised eyebrows under inspiration.
In their hearts, they hope that the "Guardian" will hold on for a while, until the day when they can turn the tide.
Warships are still fighting in different galaxies, and the star field of the "unexpected enemy" is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a faint tendency to purify everything.
The situation does not look optimistic, but Li Wenyuan, the real leader of the crisis, knows that everything is under control.
He has already figured out the maximum production capacity of the "Active Purification Protocol". It is completely idiotic to rely on those artificial intelligence planets to compete with him who has mastered countless giant structures.
In addition, the real core galaxy of the "Active Purification Protocol" has long been under the monitoring of the "Sky Veil Battleship", and will be captured into the subspace if there is any change.
Now he feels that the situation is almost brewing, and it is time to enter the end stage, starting from the galaxy he is looking at now.
Here is a "stage galaxy" he built in his spare time during the war. A large number of engineering ships came in and out here when no one was paying attention, building the props necessary for the "performance".
It is a "super giant structure" surrounding the central star, and the constantly rotating star ring makes it look exactly like the "central processing unit".
Of course, this is not a real "central processing unit", but just a superficial "imitation" temporarily made of cheap materials, and it will naturally collapse within 10 years.
In keeping with his “4%” computing power image, the imitation even had missing and aged post-processing, making it look crumbling after years of operation.
It won't be long before this counterfeit "central processing unit" will be destroyed by the "accidental enemy", and the scene that happened in the "Guardian Matrix" will be staged.
And this may be able to keep those civilizations with real potential in the galaxy in mind.
