Naturally, what happened in North America could not be hidden from Fangzheng, who was in space.
In fact, when Fangzheng received Iona's report, he was initially unperturbed, but …
"What the hell is this?"
Fangzheng was dumbfounded when he saw the pattern in the middle of the North American continent on the satellite cloud map that looked like some kind of cult text and symbol.
This is … a sci-fi disaster movie, right?
What the hell is this?
Did I go to the wrong movie set again?
In fact, when he zoomed in and saw all kinds of demon-like monsters running on the ground, Fangzheng even wondered if Diablo had also come here to look for trouble, but … .they didn't look the same as the demons in Diablo.
At least, the human brain that looked as big as a horse had metal limbs and two things that looked like cannons … .this was totally sci-fi! There were no such monsters in Diablo!
No, it should be called sci-fi demons!
What kind of mess was this? What kind of monsters and demons were popping out of nowhere?!
Although he was puzzled, Fangzheng used this as an opportunity to observe carefully and found that something was wrong.
Now, Fangzheng had also realized that the difficulty of Nightmare IV was obviously equivalent to gathering all the forces invading Earth together. Logically speaking, if he did not kill the protagonist, the other party might attack in waves. But now, it had become a full force attack.
Not only that, these alien races, which should have belonged to different works, seemed to be perfectly unified. According to Fangzheng's observation, if these alien races were really like the ones in his memory, they should be fighting each other.
But in fact, this was not the case. They obviously had a division of labor.
The huge battleship from the Independence Day was obviously an air force, and Iona had also reported that a strange alien fleet had appeared in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the naval forces in the Pacific. Not only that, on the North American side alone, there were alien forces that operated three-legged robots that looked like giant octopuses, and an alien force that shone with blue light that could brainwash humans. And now, there was this alien that should only appear in a myth or a ghost story, not a science fiction movie … .aliens? Influence.
There were times when these forces met each other, but they did not fight at all. On the contrary, each force seemed to be doing their best to divide their own territory …. This reminded Fangzheng of the time when Columbus discovered the New World.
It wasn't that he didn't want revenge, it was just that the time had not come yet.
Back then, the Americans had wiped out the indigenous people of North America and occupied their land. Now that the aliens had discovered their existence, they launched an attack, and the cycle had started again.
Sure enough, this was the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.
Let them do whatever they want.
"The First Fleet will continue to expand. Our goal is to recover the entire Eurasian continent."
Fangzheng had completely given up on North America. In his opinion, as long as he could keep the Eurasian continent, North America could be treated as a pig farm. Anyway, the aliens in North America were currently using their various abilities to transform the Americans into alien soldiers. After the transformation, he could still burn a little more.
Let's keep it for now and feed the pigs.
The most ironic thing now was that the only place in the world that could still be considered peaceful, apart from East Asia because of the strong entry of Fangzheng's Pale Blue Fleet, was the Middle East.
This was normal. After all, Fangzheng had never seen an alien invasion movie set in the Middle East.
From this point of view, the United States was a scourge to the whole world. Even Africa was now facing a huge alien invasion army ….
But even so, Fangzheng was still very cautious. He had only sent the First Fleet of the Pale Blue Fleet to Earth, not even the main fleet. In fact, the main fleet was still hidden by Fangzheng outside the solar system. After all, if these alien forces that should belong to different worlds and different races could unite to attack Earth, it meant that there must be a mastermind behind them.
Fangzheng still remembered watching the trailer of Independence Day Part II before he transmigrated. It seemed to say that the one who attacked Earth in the first movie was only a vanguard, not the final boss. In fact, the same was true in the Edge of Tomorrow world that Fangzheng had experienced before. At that time, the one who attacked Earth was also not the entire force of the alien force, but just a small vanguard.
This was normal. After all, the gap between civilizations was too big. If Fangzheng's Pale Blue Fleet was in Amelia's or Louise's world, he would not need to mobilize all of them. Fangzheng did not even need to mobilize the main fleet. At most, he would send one raider and two destroyers to solve the problem.
Of course, to be on the safe side, another aircraft carrier would be more or less the same.
This was obviously the case for these aliens to attack Earth.
Therefore, Fangzheng decided to hide his main force and wait until the other party could not help but make a move. After all, at this time, whoever moved first would lose.
At that moment, Iona gave another report.
"Commander, unidentified alien creatures have appeared in Area A3. They are attacking."
"Area A3 …. Huh? There are aliens in North Korea? "
Hearing Iona's report, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in shock.
Are you kidding me? North Korea …. Did North Korea ever make a sci-fi movie about an alien invasion?
No, in that case, it should be a sci-fi movie made by the Americans, and then North Korea was set as a place to be scourged by aliens ….
The Americans really did a lot of harm to people.
"Let me see."
As he spoke, Fangzheng made a gesture. Soon, another surveillance screen was pulled in front of Fangzheng and zoomed in quickly. It did not take long for Fangzheng to lock onto the traces of aliens flying through the mountains and attacking the villages to capture humans.
They looked a bit like an octopus. Their whole bodies were covered in silvery-white armour, and only the tender red flesh and tentacles on their backs were exposed ….
"Oh, so that's what it is …."
Seeing this, Fangzheng suddenly understood. After all, he had played games in his previous life, so he knew what these things were. Back then, Fangzheng's favourite thing to do was to peel off their shells.
"Hmm …. If that's the case …."
Looking at the screen in front of him, Fangzheng pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"Just in time. Take this as a gift … Iona."
"Yes, Commander."
"Conduct a comprehensive scan of all the alien creatures and summarize the information. Take it as a gift to them."
"Understood."
At the same time, in the underground air-raid shelter of the imperial capital, people were still engaged in a heated discussion. The target of the discussion was naturally related to the strange silver-white fleet.
Although the other party had obviously helped them resist the attack of the alien forces, they had not revealed their identity or tried to contact them. This made many people, whether politicians or scientists, a little worried. For now, the silver-white battleships obviously seemed to be on their side, but that was only on the surface.
No one could be sure whether the other party intended to trap them or not, and they were just being reared like pigs in a pen.
"The other party still hasn't responded?"
"Yes."
Faced with the inquiry from the higher-ups, the expert professor of the Academy of Sciences nodded.
"We've used almost all means to try to communicate with the other party, but it's still like a stone sinking into the sea. There's no response."
"So, do you think these strange aliens are good or bad for us?"
"This …."
Faced with the inquiry from the higher-ups, the experts of the Academy of Sciences did not know what to say. If they said it was good, then why didn't they communicate with them? Did they think it was unnecessary? But if they said it was bad … .if they did something that angered the other party, the result would be even worse.
After all, even those huge alien battleships that wiped out an entire city in one shot were completely destroyed by the artillery fire of this fleet. It was not hard to imagine that this fleet obviously had super strength.
"Reporting!"
At that moment, a soldier suddenly rushed in.
"A silver-white battleship has arrived above our air-raid shelter!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They hurriedly looked at the screen behind them. At the same time, the screen also showed the scene outside. On the screen, a silver-white battleship was floating outside the air-raid shelter. The soldiers in charge of defending the battleship were very nervous. They clenched their weapons tightly. Faced with this unexpected existence, no one could be sure whether the other party's intentions were good or bad.
"Should we …."
"Don't panic!"
The old man in the lead stared at the screen after stopping the guard commander.
"Let's see what these guests want."
Soon, under everyone's gaze, a white beam of light was projected from the battleship. Then, a small silver ball fell from it. It looked about the size of a basketball, and there were no patterns on its surface. It was as if it was simply a ball made of metal.
After dropping the ball, the silver-white battleship quickly flew away, leaving only the ball floating in the air.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.
What the hell was that thing?
Soon, the ball was sent to a secret room in the air-raid shelter under heavy guard. At the same time, the scholars and experts of the Academy of Sciences also came to the room and looked at the ball in front of them.
"Is this … just a ball?"
"No, in fact …."
The soldier in charge of guarding the ball replied in confusion. He reached out his hand and touched the ball lightly. Soon, a map of the earth appeared on the surface of the originally empty ball. Not only that, but the four colors of red, yellow, blue, and green also indicated the territories of the countries in the north, south, east, and west respectively.
"What … is this?"
Seeing this, the higher-ups could not help but be a little puzzled. Was this some kind of jigsaw puzzle given to them by aliens?
However, seeing this scene, the eyes of some scientists suddenly lit up.
"This is the Four Color Conjecture! Sure enough, we guessed it right! "
"Four Color Conjecture?"
"Yes."
Hearing the inquiry of the elder next to him, the scientist hurriedly explained to him.
"This was proposed by a British university student named Goodrich. He wanted to ask what was the principle behind any map that used only four colors to color countries with common borders. From a mathematical point of view, it shows that a plane is arbitrarily subdivided into non-overlapping areas. Each area can always be marked with one of the four numbers 1234, and adjacent areas will not get the same number. "
"That's interesting."
Hearing this, the higher-ups were also quite curious. After all, they would never come into contact with this kind of unsophisticated knowledge. It sounded interesting, but …
"What does this have to do with this ball?"
"This is a test. The other party obviously wants to use this method to confirm whether our civilization level has reached the level of communication with them. If we can solve this puzzle, we can go further!"
"So, can we solve this problem?"
Although the higher-ups did not know much about the Four Color Conjecture, they also knew that if they could solve this puzzle, it might be the first step to communicating with alien civilizations!
"This … is very difficult. To be honest, so far, the Four Color Conjecture has not been completely solved. In the past, the Four Color Conjecture was solved by us choosing the areas to fill in, but this time, the other party has specified the four basic standard points of red, yellow, blue, and green. We must complete the Four Color Conjecture on this basis. This requires the support of supercomputers …"
"No problem. From now on, all units in the country will do their best to cooperate with you to complete the mission! Just tell us what you need. We only ask that you solve the problem in the shortest time possible! "
Compared to the excited scientists, the politicians thought more. Perhaps for the scientists, this was just a test. If they passed the test, they would be qualified to communicate with advanced civilizations.
But what would happen if they failed the test?
Would they be regarded as barbaric creatures with no meaning of communication?
As a civilization that had a tradition of examinations for thousands of years, they knew very well that "examinations" were not just a good thing.
No, what they were doing should be regarded as a "court examination".
It was like the emperor's couplet, "A flock of geese fly south", and if you said "Two roast ducks go north", you would definitely be roasted ….
At the same time, in the battleship, Iona was still sitting on the table next to Fangzheng.
"Commander, is there any point in doing this?"
Iona looked at Fangzheng in confusion. All the information collected by the Blue Fleet had been completely stuffed into the ball, but Iona did not expect that Fangzheng would encrypt the ball before sending it over. In Iona's opinion, since they were sending information, they could just send it over directly. Why go through so much trouble?
"To put it simply, it's a kind of stimulation. It's better than doing nothing."
Fangzheng shook his head. He was doing this in accordance with the Forerunner civilization contact method in Mass Effect, and it was also a reminder to his compatriots in this world. After all, this was just a dog food world. Fangzheng left after farming, but he was not sure whether aliens would appear in this world again in the future. If Fangzheng directly provided assistance and the other party accepted it, they might suffer a loss next time.
It was better to follow the rules just in case. It would be better for both sides.
"There's one more thing …. Commander."
"Hmm?"
"Lafite has found information fluctuations in the Delta Quadrant that are connected to the solar system at the speed of light."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"Let me see."
"Yes, Commander."
Iona waved her hand gently as Fangzheng spoke. Soon, the scene in front of her changed again. In the infinite starry sky, a square object that looked almost the size of a planet, similar to a Rubik's cube, was moving towards the solar system ….
"Could this be …."
Fangzheng's expression changed slightly when he saw this.
Sure enough, Nightmare IV was not that easy.
