Chapter 294 Distress Signal
Time flies by, and more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This number is not even a second on the interstellar scale, and it is just a short nap for immortal life.
But for a civilization that is undergoing transformation, it is enough to produce earth-shaking changes.
The "Tianxing Empire", which lasted for more than a million years, was destroyed and became a handful of loess in history.
And a large number of civilizations from the "lower triple spiral arm" stepped on the corpse of the "Tianxing Empire" and started their life in the "new world".
In the process of destroying their "enemies", these civilizations found that their enemies seemed a little too weak.
Although the opponent's technological level has the upper hand compared to them, the battleships pulled out are all old antiques, and even missiles with conventional charges can cause effective damage, which makes them think that the "Tianxing Empire" is only It's just a late decliner, just a natural location for this civilization to make fun of them.
However, when the "Tianxing Empire" was about to perish, many scientists in these civilizations still discovered abnormalities.
That is, their enemies do have a large number of space starports, but they are basically in a state of paralysis after destruction, and they all bear a lot of traces of recent wars. Obviously, there was a civilization that once fought with the "Tianxing Empire" , and defeated the "Tianxing Empire", and they were the later vested interests.
In the end, one thing they had forgotten because they were busy with the war was recalled again, that is, who created the wormhole near their home star?
Everything points to the mysterious civilization that defeated the "Tianxing Empire", but no one can figure out why, and they don't understand why the other party brought them to the "Upper Triple Helical Arm".
Only the Guhe people had some kind of conjecture. They remembered the civilization that had not shy away from scanning on their home planet, and all their resistance methods were easily resolved by the other party.
But just when they thought that civilization was about to perish, the other party left suddenly, using super-light speed methods that were difficult for them to analyze, and it took a long time for them to recover from the panic of "alien invasion".
The emergence of wormhole navigation gave them a new method of interstellar travel, but the Guhe people are still consciously collecting information about that mysterious civilization. The only known thing is that after the civilization moves faster than the speed of light, it will leave a short-term broken space-time structure in place.
Even if it only lasts for less than one microsecond, and will be naturally repaired by the universe soon, they can still find a little weakening of the space-time structure there under their hard work.
Through this, the Guhe people finally discovered a large number of this weakened space-time structure in a galaxy full of the remains of the "Skywalking Empire" battleships, which made them think that the mysterious civilization did all this.
As for why...
"...It can't be possible that you can't understand what the 'Tianxing Empire' does, and decide to clean up a piece of garbage for the universe, right?"
In the historical research institute of "Tianxing Empire", a Guhe archaeologist is studying the documents here, and at the same time answering the questions of the planet-disturbing scholars.
"In the communication between civilizations, how can we make decisions based on our likes, good and bad? It's all about interests. There are no permanent friends or eternal enemies. This is what we did when we were still trapped on the planet The reason I realized..."
The star-wielding scholar is noncommittal about this. His civilization has joined the "United Seekers" alliance, and he has participated in the work of sorting out the history of the "Tianxing Empire" as a scholar studying alien civilization.
"Recently, I heard that the Joint Scientific Research Institute has found a lot of good things in the database of 'Tianxing Empire', one of which is related to wormholes, but what makes them a little confused is that there seem to be many technologies in it that shouldn't be' The Tianxing Empire can research it... Huh? This is..."
The scholars of the Furukawa people were chatting about recent events within the alliance, but they suddenly found something in the data and made a voice of doubt.
"This seems to be a manuscript left by a poet. He has worked in a deep space listening station for many years, responsible for monitoring all cosmic signals and recording useful information."
"Before he died, he left behind an 'alien mystery'. He said that he had received a distress signal from about five million light-years away, and that a galaxy seemed to be being eaten away by something horrible."
"However, this incident was eventually determined to be a miscalculation, because there are galaxies about half a million light-years away, two million light-years, and ten million light-years away from here, but there are no galaxies that are five million light-years away. Light-year galaxies."
"It's just that the poet insists that all that exists and asks civilized governments to be prepared for something like this to happen to them, and he himself was dismissed for being mentally ill .”
“Since then, the poet has changed his poetic style, advocating doomsday theory, thinking that the universe will be destroyed in contraction like that galaxy…”
"...What a horrible doomsdayist. The current mainstream theory believes that the universe is expanding endlessly, but what he said is not impossible. There are also theories that the universe will start to shrink after expanding to the limit and return to Singularity..."
The Guhe scholar sighed, and then continued indifferently:
"However, this unsolved mystery probably has nothing to do with us. We haven't even dealt with the affairs of our own galaxy. How can we talk about matters outside the galaxy?"
Listening to his words, the planet-disturbing scholar felt a little uneasy, because he always felt that this seemed to be some kind of future direction.
He unconsciously looked towards the sky, where countless stars were shining.
And on one of the planets, there is such a big luminous ball doing similar things.
He is Li Wenyuan, and he is working hard to solve the pending issue of "shrinking world".
He has already built the "pilot lighthouse" and "pseudo-monitoring outpost" used to contact that world, but he has not heard any abnormalities.
Not only that, but when observing from him with an optical observatory, he did not find any galaxies in the scale of 5 million light-years, which seems to indicate that the "elliptical galaxy beta" disappeared 5 million years ago.
Fortunately, after detecting the "gravitational anomaly", he still discovered that there was a group of massive celestial bodies at the level of a galaxy, but the light may be blocked by interstellar dust, so he could not directly "observe" it.
But there was no abnormality detected, which still made Li Wenyuan wonder if the "elliptical galaxy beta" had been destroyed. After all, so long has passed, this possibility is not impossible.
So he decided to wait for a while. If he still couldn't get the contact there, he could only regretfully declare the pending item of "shrinking world" as unresolvable.
And Huangtian paid off, and it was exactly 20 years after Li Wenyuan started monitoring work that he finally heard the weak distress signal from the elliptical galaxy Beta.
【This is the "Chasing Light" civilization surviving organization. Our world is on the verge of extinction. Now we will broadcast our history together. I hope that someone who is destined... At least, it will prevent us from completely disappearing from the universe...】
