After deciding to fly to the Andromeda Galaxy without any disguise, Pi began to recklessly order the fleet to collect all the star matter that they could encounter on the route on a large scale.
Since they arrived at the Triangulum Galaxy, except for the early period when they encountered the first red dwarf, they had been sailing cautiously and silently. There was basically no replenishment, and their resource reserves were still on the verge of scarcity.
Now that the situation was like this, there was no need to be cautious anymore. The starships needed to be repaired, the Drow needed to build new cubes, and Pi himself needed materials to continue to improve the level of his dark ships. Except for the silver battleship, which seemed to have no intention of replenishing, the entire fleet was in a frenzied state of replenishment.
The other galactic races below did not know the actual situation, but Pi and the fifth sequence were constantly testing each other's bottom line. Once they observed that the Triangulum Galaxy was overreacting, they would immediately stop the excessive material acquisition, and if there was no obvious reaction, they would continue to collect. Their behavior of plundering material was probably equivalent to the virus devouring and destroying life forms. For the Triangulum Galaxy, material was its life form.
The distance of tens of thousands of light-years was nothing compared to the dark realm that could easily reach millions of light-years, but for a fleet that had just escaped from the dark realm, without enough material replenishment, tens of thousands of light-years would also become a journey of death.
Tian Hou's flight was very slow. One could even say that he was dawdling. Although he was going to his death, there was no need for him to rush to his death. He had to pretend that he was unwilling, that he wanted to delay for as long as possible, that there would be new changes in the Andromeda Galaxy, or that he was waiting for someone. The other party was not a fool. They must have a motive for walking into the trap. No one really wanted to die. Otherwise, they would have just killed themselves on the spot.
Therefore, Pi's bottom line became the task of constantly testing the situation. He hoped to wait for the two sides to gather and counterattack. He hoped to wait for Chu Yunsheng and the little insect to join him. He even hoped that there would be a bigger change in the situation. In short, the current situation could not always be the same as before.
After crossing tens of thousands of light-years again, the replenished fleet and the silver battleship finally arrived at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy. Here, the surrounding starry sky finally became normal. Although there was no particularly obvious change, from the silver battleship to Pi and the fifth sequence, they all felt like they had drilled out of the body of a living being, and there was no longer a sense of oppression.
Unexpectedly, not long after they arrived at the edge of the relatively thin spiral arm, the warships sailed silently as they received a signal from the edge of the spiral arm. "Who are you?"
The silver battleship continued to hide, showing no intention of revealing itself, so the task of responding to the strange signal fell on Bi, who pretended to be Chu Yunsheng.
They had just arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy, and before they could even familiarize themselves with the terrain, and before they could even respond after receiving a signal that was too late for them to reach, a small fleet had been spotted flying towards them from under a star that was also a red dwarf about seven or eight light years away.
Of course, Zhui couldn't reveal his real identity, and the silver battleship would not agree to it. So he didn't have to pretend anymore. However, he still replied in a strange tone, "We just escaped from the Milky Way Galaxy and received your distress signal. What happened?"
The direction they came from determined that they must be from the Milky Way Galaxy. This was something that couldn't be hidden in any way, so he simply admitted it. However, he didn't know why there was a fleet flying to such a remote and dangerous place when the Andromeda Galaxy was constantly asking for help. After all, this place was the closest location to the Triangulum Galaxy.
The small fleet seemed to be very anxious, and quickly sent another inquiry signal, "Do you have a peak Source Gate lifeform?"
The silver battleship didn't want to expose itself, so Zhui had to reply, "No, but we have a Source Gate Venerable in a secondary life form."
The small fleet was probably a little disappointed, and then immediately asked again, "How is your technology? More specifically, how is your computing power? "
Zhui replied vaguely, "We have a certain advantage in this regard."
Although the other party seemed to be a conventional spaceship from an interstellar race and had nothing to do with the devil that the silver battleship mentioned, in the current situation, no one could guarantee that they would be a friend and not an enemy. Naturally, they couldn't tell them everything.
The small fleet seemed to have guessed what Zhui was thinking, so they didn't continue to ask. As the two sides got closer and closer, they roughly described the situation, "Thank you for coming to rescue us. Our computing power is about to run out, and we won't be able to hold on for much longer. Even if you are from the Milky Way Galaxy, you should know what happened. We are not fighting with a specific thing, we are fighting with computing power. Please follow our guidance and reach the position that requires computing power as soon as possible."
Although Zhui and the others were indeed from the Milky Way Galaxy, they had no idea what the Milky Way Galaxy had released. They came from the Triangulum Galaxy to 'die', so they didn't try to hide it. They answered truthfully, "I'm sorry, although we escaped from the Milky Way Galaxy, we still don't know what happened."
The small fleet was silent for a moment before replying, "We call it a ghost in the dark, and the fairies call it a devil. It has powerful computing power, and equally powerful replication and infection abilities, but no one knows its specific form. It could be a ray of light, or just a wave of code. It can change the information of light in space, and it can also program and rearrange the light elements in a planet. So no one knows where it is, but it seems to be everywhere, even right next to us, or in the light that passes by the walls of your starships. The only thing we know is that it came from the extinguished Milky Way Galaxy, and the only way to fight it is to reset the material attributes it has changed, and erase the information it influenced, infected, and programmed."
Then, the small fleet continued, "The fairies have provided us with the reset technology. As long as you provide the computing power and build the reset radiometer according to the fairies' technology, you can join our resistance. The situation now is not very good. All life in the Andromeda Galaxy has spread to every corner of the galaxy, but there are still many places that cannot be reached, and the computing power cannot be generated there. Because of this, its power is getting stronger and stronger. Later, we will send you the last galaxy map we received from the fairies."
At first, Zhui did not understand why the small fleet did not escape even when they were at the edge of the galaxy. Even though this place was the closest to the Triangulum Galaxy, there was still a dark field where they could escape. However, after seeing the galaxy map, he understood that it was not that they did not want to escape, but that they could not.
From the dynamic map, it could be seen that as long as they slightly left the material area of the galaxy, the black color representing the "ghost" would immediately cover the place where they could no longer support their computing power. Once it reached a certain level, the fleet that tried to escape would be completely covered by the black color, and then never appeared again. It should be dead.
The black color spread at the speed of light, and it was impossible for any fleet to exceed the speed of light. They would always fall behind the speed at which the black color spread. Therefore, even if they were at the edge and saw the dark domain, they would never be able to cross it. It was like an infinite number, locking their navigation to the endless interstellar links.
In other words, Zhui and his fleet had now broken into the "devil" area released by the Milky Way Galaxy. Not only did they fall into a trap, but they also fell into an invisible cage. It was absolutely impossible for them to turn around and get out.
"No wonder as long as we fly over, it is not in a hurry to kill us." The fifth sequence said, "It's just strange. If it wants to control the entire galaxy, it can just drive away the fairies and other life forms. Why does it bother to lock them in the galaxy and not give them any chance to escape?"
The silver battleship, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sent an information particle and said, "It's for the life force and the consciousness space! We can't do anything here. Even if we provide computing power, we will die sooner or later. Chu, refuse them, and then ask them about the whereabouts of the fairies. We must find the spirit lord in order to survive. "
In the communication with the silver armor, Zhui had to pretend to be Chu Yunsheng again. After politely refusing the small fleet's request to stay, Zhui used a technology that could enhance their computing power in exchange for the information about the fairies' movements.
The technology level of this small fleet was obviously lagging behind that of the Drow, and it was even far inferior to the seven battleships under the command of Zhui. After showing their "powerful" power, the small fleet could only watch them accelerate away with envy and awe, flying towards the depths of the spiral arm. According to the last information they got about the location of the fairies, Zhui and the others still needed to cross a few loose spiral arms to find them.
As the voyage went deeper, Zhui and the others continued to encounter spaceships scattered in various corners of the spiral arm. Many of the spaceships were just built not long ago, and they belonged to the temporary mass production. In order to have enough number of spaceships, they were desperate to build spaceships and reproduce the life in the spaceships.
If it was in the past, this would definitely be a space wonder. There had never been such a high density of life in a galaxy. Almost every route was filled with spaceships. It was as if the whole galaxy had become "lively" overnight, which made Zhui and the others, who were used to the desolation and didn't encounter a single life in tens of thousands of years, feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course, if this kind of expansion was not necessary, it was also a great waste. Thousands of resources were consumed every moment, and the effect was to resist the computing power, it had no other effect.
For example, if the silver battleship wanted to destroy these spaceships that only had computing power, it didn't need to use much strength. It just needed to kill all the spaceships, and these spaceships wouldn't even leave a mark on the surface of the silver battleship.
The large-scale reproduction of life would also cause the scarcity of life force, which was extremely disadvantageous to the future of advanced races.
But the situation was like this, even the overlord of the galaxy, the Andromeda Race, probably had to do this, otherwise, they would die.
Gradually, the fleet collected more and more information, and their understanding of the war situation in the Andromeda Galaxy became more and more detailed. Correspondingly, their understanding of the thing released from the Milky Way Galaxy also became more and more detailed.
In the end, Zhui and the fifth sequence were almost certain that the thing released from the Milky Way Galaxy was not necessarily a life form, but it must be a fragment of macro technology. Only real macro technology could do what had happened in the Triangulum Galaxy, and what was happening in the Andromeda Galaxy!
At this time, the other races in the fleet also gradually learned some of the truth. Ba Yi found Zhui and gave him an idea. If they wanted to survive this fragment of macro technology, there might be a way, and that was to find the earth!
