The atmosphere in the spaceship was originally very lively.
Every time they arrived at a new star system, they would try their best to collect natural data and hoped that Lan Mu could stay for a while longer.
However, Lan Mu did not want to waste time. This was not a scientific research spaceship. Unless they discovered a civilization, it did not matter whether they collected natural data or not.
Every time they jumped, they would have to stay near the star for about three to four hours. This was completely dependent on the terrifying energy of Lan Mu's Golden Crow body, which greatly reduced the charging time.
Of course, if they were too close to the star, it was very likely that they would be attacked by a sudden situation. It would be bad if the spaceship was damaged.
Therefore, once they encountered such a situation, the spaceship would have to distance itself and enter the safe jumping zone. This process usually took an hour.
Therefore, after a rough calculation, they would arrive at a new star system every five hours. One Earth day was enough for them to jump four times.
After that, it needed to rest for a while because the Golden Crow's energy would be exhausted if it continued to radiate without restraint. When the intensity of the energy decreased significantly, Lan Mu would send the Golden Crow to soak in the sun. This process would take anywhere from five to twenty hours, depending on the quality of the star.
It had been two days since they left the moon. After eight jumps, they were already twenty-two light years away from the solar system.
The lively atmosphere had calmed down by this time. The scientists were very calm as they collected data and dropped detectors from the spaceship.
They did not know if these detectors could be recovered. In short, they just wanted to prove that they had been here.
"This is the eighth jump. My target is eight thousand light years away from the solar system. We have only covered one percent of the distance. It is still too slow."
"My Lord, we have done our best to implement the technology. I believe that in one to two weeks, the jump technology will be updated to ten times the current jump efficiency!" Zhuo Yue said.
"Okay." Lan Mu nodded. The necessary technical information was available. Their scientists only needed to apply the technology and put it into practice.
After the jump, they arrived near an extremely bright star.
This star seemed to be bigger than the sun. It was white and much brighter than the sun.
This made the star look very young. Along the way, they had encountered orange and even red stars in their later years. Finally, there was a bright white sun.
Every four times, Lan Mu would let the Golden Crow go to the star to replenish its strength. Therefore, Wanderer temporarily distanced itself from the star and stopped fifty million kilometers away, waiting for the Golden Crow to return from its bath.
"This star is 30 light-years away from the solar system and is an F-type star. Its surface temperature is about 7,000 degrees Celsius and its mass is 1.2 times that of the sun."
"We found … a broadcast."
Lan Mu had been silently cultivating when he suddenly heard the report and stood up.
"Interstellar broadcast?"
Zhuo Yue said, "The broadcast contains a self-decoding system, and it's a radio signal. This … is a very low-level method. It can't even reach the nearest star system."
"It's only low-level compared to high-tech information, but it's about the same level as our real technology," Lan Mu said.
After Zhuo Yue nodded, Eve suddenly said, "The broadcast has been deciphered. Investigating the source of the broadcast."
Not long after, Lan Mu saw the broadcast that Eve had translated for him.
This was a very interesting statement.
"Thoughtful greetings to the civilization receiving this message."
"We have established a brilliant civilization on our own planet, unified the culture, and have a preliminary understanding of the laws of nature's operation and development. We welcome your arrival with the intention of peace. "
"There are detectors sent by our civilization in orbit close to the star. We hope you can give a reasonable explanation for your behavior of sending unknown materials to our civilization in the daytime."
Lan Mu exclaimed in surprise. Judging from the literal meaning, the star system they were in was the source of the broadcast.
It made sense. This kind of low-power electromagnetic wave would be quickly diluted and interfered with in the universe. It was only an internal communication within the star system. It was not qualified to be called an interstellar broadcast.
Sure enough, Eve soon observed a few planets through the detectors on the spaceship.
"So far, a total of three planets have been discovered in this star system. The first one is 120 million kilometers away from the star. It is a rocky planet with a thick atmosphere and may give birth to a civilization."
"Intelligent detectors have been found in orbit close to the star. They are the source of the broadcast."
Before Lan Mu could say anything, all the scientists of the Blue and White Society were in an uproar. They excitedly asked Eve to capture the detectors and go to the planet to find a civilization.
They did not expect to find a civilization 30 light-years away from the solar system after only two days of travel. This was simply unbelievable.
And it seemed that their technology was not inferior to that of Hua. In fact, it was even more advanced.
"Don't worry, the other party is here to denounce us. Although they did not threaten us, they clearly misunderstood our charging behavior and did not have good intentions."
"That's true. We suddenly appeared near their star and then sent an unknown creature to the star that they rely on for survival. If this was Earth, I'm afraid they would have been scared out of their wits. It's already very commendable that they can still remain calm. "
The scientists discussed how to reply while Lan Mu was thinking.
"Actually, there is no need to explain to them at all. Once the charging is completed, we will leave immediately."
Lan Mu thought, but also felt that it was a pity. After all, he had not really reached the state of mind of the Amon civilization.
After the scientists finished discussing, they all looked at Lan Mu and waited for him to make a decision.
They knew that their destination this time was a star system 8,000 light-years away. In order to save time, they should not stay too long. Moreover, contacting other civilizations, communicating, and contacting them was actually a waste of time.
Communicating with them was likely to expose a lot of things, which was unnecessary.
It was not like there was no development. They had a full set of technology trees, so why waste time on this small civilization? It was easy to cause problems.
"But it is still a small matter. We can leave behind a quantum communication device for communication. Even after leaving, we can still communicate with them over a long distance." Someone suggested. After all, being able to communicate with extraterrestrial creatures was a fatal temptation for scholars.
Lan Mu shook his head. He would not be interested in a civilization that was still using electromagnetic waves for communication if it was not for the sake of Earth.
Moreover, ultra-moment quantum communication was different from electromagnetic waves. They first needed to place the information receiver in the target civilization.
It was an item similar to a black pencil. It was a set of communicators on the spaceship and could communicate normally no matter how many light-years away.
He was not willing to give such a technological item to an unknown alien civilization, especially one that was only 30 light-years away from Earth.
"Quantum communication can't be given, but radio signal communication can be done."
A few scientists were devastated and begged, "Special Envoy, once we jump, the distance between us will increase. Then, electromagnetic waves alone will not be able to communicate in real-time."
Lan Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you that interested?"
Looking at their curious eyes, Lan Mu nodded. He had experienced a lot, but they were still inexperienced. It was their first time coming into contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. Of course, he was not willing to let it go.
Thinking that the Golden Crow was still bathing and that they would have to wait for more than ten hours, he said straightforwardly.
"Okay, there are still ten hours before the jump. Let's come into contact with this civilization."
"Well, if that's the case, there is no need to reply. Eve, drive the spaceship to the target planet. "
…
There was indeed a civilization on a rocky planet 120 million kilometers away from White Sun.
The long years of civil war had finally come to an end and welcomed a unified culture.
However, at this time, their ruling class was already frightened.
An unknown spaceship suddenly appeared in their star system, using technology that they could not understand. It appeared directly near the star.
If it was not for the fact that there was a detector in a certain orbit close to the star for scientific research, they would not have even discovered this mysterious spaceship.
To be honest, this was the first time they had encountered aliens. Just as they were studying how to face and come into contact with an unknown civilization.
Suddenly, they discovered that the spaceship had thrown something into the star. The material that was constantly emitting nuclear fusion energy entered the star and plunged into a sea of fire.
This made them very anxious. Was this an attack on the star? Although the size of the two objects was extremely different, it did not stop them from imagining that this should be some kind of weapon that could affect the internal stability of the star.
It did not need to destroy the star. It only needed to make the star unstable and emit high-temperature materials and radiation. Just the magnetic field disorder alone would be enough to make their planet suffer.
For a time, the civilization gathered all the scientists to conduct specialized research.
"The star is the foundation of our survival. Once its stability is interrupted, it is very likely that there will be a large radio explosion. Even if it does not directly hit us, it may change the climate of our planet."
"No, no, what you said is a normal situation, but this is the action of an alien civilization. Their goal can't be that simple!"
"I think they are planning to cause a magnetic storm to block our electronic communication. This way, all our satellites, communicators, telescopes, space stations, and detectors in space will be destroyed. If this magnetic storm is strong enough, it will cause an electronic flood that will drown our planet and block all communication and communication, causing all electronic devices to fail. "
"Ah! The disturbance caused by the star is long and will affect our civilization for thousands of years! "
"Without electronic devices, the people of the civilization will return to the ancient era. The lack of communication between the regions will cause the culture that we have worked so hard to integrate to be divided again. A few hundred years later, we may return to the chaos and hatred of the past."
If all electronic devices were destroyed and placed on Earth, it was equivalent to returning to the steam age.
The civilization definitely could not accept such an outcome. Therefore, they were very alert and nervous.
However, they did not dare to vent their vigilance too much and did not dare to let the other civilization feel it.
Therefore, they tried their best to broadcast in a friendly manner, hoping to establish communication with the other party. However, the other party did not respond.
This disregard brought great fear to the ruling class of the civilization.
Especially after the detectors orbiting the star were captured by the humanoid mecha and completely captured.
They had lost the means of close observation and could only observe from the planet through telescopes.
This kind of vague observation and extreme information disparity caused great psychological pressure.
"Ruler! The target spaceship is accelerating. It is estimated to reach our planet in six hours! "
"Still no reply?"
"No …"
The cold spaceship had done something to their star and was heading toward the planet without a word.
The strong's blatant disregard was the most inadvertent harm.
"The first contact is a war?"
"With my order, mobilize the entire world. Our technology may not be as good as theirs, but we will not accept our fate like this."
A scientist said in shock, "Don't, Ruler. Once the electromagnetic storm blocks the entire frequency band, we will have no power to resist at all. We can only fight with ancient weapons."
The ruler said coldly, "Do we have any other choice? The civilization of the other party is so advanced that they don't care about any communication, just like how we don't try to talk to food. "
"They don't need any reason to destroy us. All we can do is show the spirit of our civilization."
Obviously, the ruler was not a timid person. He was also angered by the arrogance of the aliens.
The scientists wanted to cry but had no tears. They knew in their hearts that there was no chance of winning this war.
Once the star exploded, even if the other party only had one spaceship, they could beat them like they were primitive people.
The general mobilization order had been issued. The news of the sudden alien invasion inevitably spread around the world.
A huge sense of pessimism shrouded the world. If it were not for the military control that suppressed everything, the general mobilization order would be a joke.
When the huge army was assembled, the ruler sent someone to broadcast a new message, trying to make a final effort.
"Since you have chosen war, we will not be afraid. Even if you treat us like ants, this is the dignity of ants."
"What ants?"
When the others trembled as they held the alien's reply to the ruler, he was shocked.
"They are willing to reply! Indeed, we need to be strong! My courage brings the right to speak! "The ruler clenched his fist.
"Continue the broadcast! Ask them what they are here for! "
After a while, someone sent a reply from the spaceship.
"I was passing by and wanted to see you."
The ruler did not understand and immediately led a group of scientists to discuss the reply.
They couldn't understand what kind of context was used to make such a statement …
"Why do you want to see us?" The ruler sent a radio wave.
"I have nothing to do."
"…"
