Chapter 281 Here they come
"...Today, Duke Qiangshi, the border prince of the empire and the head of the Knights of Love, will visit the sacred and majestic 'Ancient Battlefield' once again after 230 years to commemorate the dead heroes!"
Similar reports covered the entire "Tianxing Empire", as if they wanted everyone to know what the duke was going to do today.
The people who were a little quiet in the past have been a little more glorious because of this incident for a long time, and they will mention the Duke more or less after dinner.
"Duke Strong Stone... The last time I heard this name was the fire in the capital data core city, right?"
"Indeed... even the latest generation of automatic firefighting systems can't save it, the fire is really... tsk tsk, I heard that the fire and smoke can even be seen from space!"
"Isn't it! It is said that the culprit is this Duke of Strong Stone. He did not wear protective clothing as required during the inspection work, and even drank tea in the database! As a result, a large-scale short circuit was caused, and the entire core data city was destroyed. !"
"..."
During the chat, the people were mostly talking about the embarrassing things about the Duke of Qiangshi and all kinds of romantic rumors. They didn't have much feeling about the commemoration of the "Ancient Battlefield".
After all, the history related to the "Ancient Battlefield" is too long. They may still praise it for a hundred or a thousand years, but what about ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years or even one million years?
Now the people of the "Tianxing Empire" have long been numb to the past, and the history of millions of years has made them almost daunted by this high wall.
Although the weight of history can make them deeply impressed, but no one dares to say "I love history" without hesitation.
Because they have to face hundreds of thousands of pages of history textbooks since they were students, even with the help of auxiliary machines, they still complain.
In their compulsory education, the most difficult thing is not physics, not chemistry, nor politics, geography, but history. The amount of history alone is far behind other subjects.
It can be said that, except for the elites of the upper class who will remember these "ancient histories", most of the people have gradually forgotten the past in their daily lives.
As for the "Ancient Battlefield", they only remember that it was the battle for the founding of the "Tianxing Empire" in the past.
The last "Tianxing Empire" in history became the "Guardian of the Galaxy" that ruled all peoples, and that "Sky Moat" was also the scar left after the great war.
As for the opposite of the "Sky Moat", it is the place where the once-defeated invaders linger, and the "movies" that will be played in the "Grand Theater" galaxy every once in a while are the means for them to appreciate the tragic situation of those war criminals.
In the past history, although the memory of the "Ancient Battlefield" is somewhat vague, this is the "history" they remember most clearly.
They are arrogant in their bones. The "Tianxing Empire" rules all the places they know, and the entire "Upper Three Helical Arm" is within the sphere of influence of the "Tianxing Empire".
But they have no way to personally go to the "lower triple spiral arm" to dominate. Only by seeing the wailing of those "lower" civilizations in the doomsday can they satisfy their sense of superiority as a "higher civilization" that has nowhere to vent.
"...let's leave this group of aristocrats aside, let's talk about the impressions of the last 'movie'. I heard that there were many good reviews? It's really disgusting!"
"..."
The people returned to their daily lives, and the Duke of Strong Stone, who released the news of his travels, also came to his destination at this time - the "Ancient Battlefield" star field.
There are a total of more than 20,000 stars and more than 10,000 galaxies in this star field, which is a huge territory.
But as a dignitary of the empire and an insider of the "past history", Duke Qiangshi knows that this "ancient battlefield" is actually just an illusion, and the real core is actually just a galaxy in this star field.
After sailing through countless galaxies, Duke Strong Rock finally came to a dim galaxy.
The central celestial body in this place is a black dwarf star, which is a kind of celestial body formed after the neutron star naturally comes to an end.
It does not emit light, nor does it emit any heat, and it is barely noticeable in astronomical observations.
It is hard to imagine what kind of upheaval this galaxy has encountered, so that almost all planets have been shattered, and it is difficult to maintain the appearance of a star.
But Duke Qiangshi didn't look sideways, and let the spaceship sail directly to the artificial intelligence planet.
At this time, there are almost no mechanical traces on the planet, and there are no robots working here. In the thin irritating gas, only metal ruins and broken parts can be seen.
But among the ruins, the Duke of Qiangshi walked through it with ease, as if he had been here many times, and he quickly found his destination.
—A near-abandoned control center.
The faint lights that are still flickering from time to time seem to tell that the control center is not yet "dead", and the arrival of the Duke of Strong Rock makes the already weak lights brighten up, as if to welcome his arrival.
When Duke Qiangshi saw the control center, he immediately said straight to the point:
"We need a means to close or destroy the wormhole, you should have it, right? This is a joint petition of the emperor and us, the pillars of the empire, and it is also... a petition for the survival of our civilization."
He specifically emphasized the tone of "survival of civilization", as if this word is the most important in this passage.
After the light of the control center flickered for a while, the relevant technology was finally transmitted back to the database of "Skywalking Empire" by some means.
Duke Qiangshi heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the response, and then turned and left without any hesitation. The pungent smell of engine oil here made him very uncomfortable.
Only the half-dead control center remained where it was, with lights flashing.
After another period of time, Duke Qiangshi brought an unstable bomb to destroy the structure of the wormhole. At this time, the nobles near the passage of the wormhole were already in a state of anxiety. After seeing Duke Qiangshi, they unanimously released Take a breath.
"You finally brought the things. You don't know that in order to make it difficult for the civilization over there, we threw all the things that can explode a huge amount of energy into it. As a result, the wormhole is still stable. If I knew it, I wouldn't repair it. So solid…”
Although there were complaints, they quickly dropped the instability bomb into the wormhole.
However, a huge storm like lightning and thunder broke out in the wormhole channel that should have nothing, which quickly disrupted the entire wormhole and directly led to the collapse of the wormhole.
Seeing this situation, they finally felt at ease, and felt that there would be no more threats to their "higher civilization" life.
However, a series of faint signals came here through the wormhole at the last moment, and was not noticed at all under the cover of the huge fluctuations caused by the collapse of the wormhole.
It first infected an unmanned mining machine abandoned here, and then used the drone as a springboard to infect layer by layer, and finally infected a large flagship stationed here.
The next moment, what the "lower civilizations" who were ridiculed by them had done in the "dark forest" happened to them.
The large flagship began to uncontrollably broadcast the detailed coordinates here to the entire galaxy, no matter what the data is.
Someone noticed this and jokingly said to the flagship captain: "Dude, you also play this trick? Do you think there will really be a civilization that is more 'advanced' than us to attack us like this?"
However, while talking, this person noticed something was wrong, because he found that the captain of the flagship was pale, and frantically tapped the command to stop the flagship from working, but he never got any response.
"you…"
He was about to speak, but suddenly his vision went dark, and the light that shot into the porthole disappeared in an instant, as if it was blocked by something.
A certain sense of great oppression and fear made him sit on the ground in an instant, and the fear deep in his genes was also aroused at this time, making him defecate on the spot in just a few seconds.
But this kind of physical fear is not what scares him the most. What scares him even more is that on the ship's radar, the densely flashing signal points almost fill the entire radar surface.
This means that the fleet that makes them desperate has come here.
They didn't expect that that civilization still came over.
