Along the way, they had already traveled 300 light years before encountering their third civilization.
This meant that the universe was really crowded.
Only Zhuo Yue knew about Lan Mu's situation in the entire spaceship. Every time they jumped, she would order Eve to search for possible civilizations.
The way to discover a new civilization was very simple, even effortless.
Because when they arrived at the star system, they discovered that the light from the star was not complete. It was blocked by a huge object.
It was not a planet but an unfinished project on the star.
A Dyson sphere.
The so-called Dyson sphere enveloped the sun and made full use of the star's power to obtain an almost endless amount of energy. To the civilization that created the Dyson sphere, the entire sun was a super-large nuclear fusion reactor.
This was a way to obtain energy on Earth, but to Earth, this was completely impossible. The various conditions required were unbelievably high.
However, according to the technological development of the Stupefied race, a level 3 civilization could barely do it, and a level 4 civilization could do it easily.
The main source of energy for a level 4 civilization was the use, development, and modification of stars.
It was not that a level 4 civilization did not have a more efficient source of energy. In fact, through the development of microscopic technology, they could completely use the destruction of matter and antimatter to create a new and powerful source of energy.
However, producing antimatter also required a large amount of energy and time. Therefore, to a civilization that could cross the star system, the star, which was an energy source everywhere, was the most efficient and convenient source of energy.
If a level 4 civilization was like this, a level 3 civilization would need even more energy from a star.
"Is this level 3 or level 4?" the scientist asked Eve to translate.
The Stupefied race quickly replied, "Level 3. Look, this project seems to have stopped due to special circumstances. This project is obviously too difficult."
"Director Zhuo Yue, this civilization's technology is too advanced. We shouldn't stay here for too long," a scientist immediately said.
However, Zhuo Yue held a metal ball in her hand and said seriously, "Wanderer, jump away immediately and leave a void cloud for me. I will pilot the Stupefied race's flagship to the civilization in this star system."
"Huh? That's too dangerous … "
"Execute the order!"
The Stupefied race's flagship was below the Wanderer. There were more reactors inside than the Wanderer. Although jumping with it consumed a lot of energy, it was more energy-efficient overall.
Zhuo Yue came to the flagship alone. The artificial intelligence inside had been replaced by Eve's subroutine, so she could control it alone.
At the same time, the Wanderer followed Zhuo Yue's order and jumped.
The scientists in the ship had a lot on their minds, but the stunned people didn't care.
The Stunned Race believed that this civilization was considered to be an experienced Level Three civilization. This was because they had not even completed half of the Dyson Sphere before they stopped working due to some situation. In their hearts, Wanderer was a veteran level-4 civilization and did not need to fear the enemy.
However, the scientists knew that they could not even defeat a level-three civilization.
…
Wanderer quickly left, but it was still discovered by the civilization of the star system. They immediately locked onto a battleship that was constantly approaching their mother planet.
"There are battleships approaching our mother planet."
"What? Is it those despicable sulfur-based creatures again? "
"No, the technology of this battleship is similar to ours, and it's clearly in the style of our carbon-based creatures."
"Unknown civilization? Space technology? "
"Yes, Leader. The enemy is estimated to arrive above our planet within three hours. Should we shoot them down?"
"Let's not wait … Let's try to contact them first. We're currently stuck in a quagmire of war with sulfur-based creatures. It's not suitable to have another enemy. The other party is also a carbon-based creature. Perhaps they can be of help to us. Furthermore, the other party has more space technology than us. That's what we've been dreaming of. With it, we can leave this damned place where the sulfur-based creatures are hunting. "
Zhuo Yue received the other party's message from the flagship. The general meaning was: In the nearest star system to here, there is a group of sulfur-based creatures. They are the natural enemies of carbon-based creatures and have been fighting with us for thousands of years. We hope that the unknown civilization can explain their intentions and stop in space to wait for our spaceship to arrive. We are willing to pay any price in exchange for space technology.
In response to this message, Zhuo Yue wrote a boastful reply. She also said that the spaceship's deceleration system was damaged and requested to land on the planet of their civilization.
That civilization was stunned. What? Forced landing?
They had clearly seen it detach from another spaceship and accelerate continuously. Did this mean that it was forced to land?
"Shoot them down!"
The leader gave the order. Several rays of light energy lit up on the outer ring of the planet and instantly blasted onto the flagship.
However, Zhuo Yue had already made her preparations. She and Lan Mu's spores were currently sealed in the containment sphere made of Bastet metal.
She had already set it up in advance. The powerful electromagnetic thruster was behind the containment sphere. A huge force instantly erupted, and an accelerated magnetic wall ejected the two containment spheres at an extremely high speed.
The flagship itself was already moving at full speed. In addition to the power of the thruster, the containment sphere itself became a type of super-strong physical impact bullet.
The black Bastet metal did not reflect light at all and was extremely difficult to observe in space.
The terrifying energy attack instantly destroyed the flagship. They had never thought that the other party's goal was to abandon the flagship and eject the two spheres towards the planet.
It was only when the containment sphere reached the ring-shaped space defense station that it was discovered by the microwave detectors that were not fully activated.
"Leader! The other party fired two solid projectiles before the explosion. "
"Ridiculous. Intercept."
Two traps flew out, but they were easily penetrated by the containment sphere. Under the high-speed movement, the hardness of the containment sphere was miraculously effective. The difference in hardness between the traps and the containment sphere was like heaven and earth.
"What! What kind of material is this? Hurry up and hit it with the strong atomic ball. "
The strong atomic ball was a type of material made from specially made atoms using picometre technology. Its structure was extremely stable, second only to an ideal water droplet.
The glossy atomic ball bullet reflected light, completely opposite to the pure black Bastet metal.
The two collided and deviated from their respective orbits at the same time.
However, because it was close to the planet's atmosphere, the containment sphere still followed the gravitational force and fell towards the planet.
As for the strong atomic ball, cracks actually appeared. Its atoms were fine, but its molecular structure was damaged.
"This hardness … What kind of material is it? It still doesn't reflect light after such an impact. This means that it isn't a special coating, but the original color of the metal! "
"Maybe it's a real neutron star material?"
"Nonsense. A civilization that can obtain neutron star material as a weapon is a god! Will it be so easily destroyed by us? "
"Leader, should we use …"
"No need. It's just a bullet. Go find its landing point and retrieve it. This kind of weapon is completely delivered to our doorstep. If we can analyze its structure, it's very likely that it will allow us to break through our current technology! "
The containment sphere's super high speed had already been slowed down by the strong atomic ball's impact. It was now in free fall, and with its small size, the damage to the planet was insignificant.
In addition, this metal had already displayed its terrifying hardness, so there was no need to waste energy. They could just retrieve it directly.
…
Lan Mu was awakened by the terrifying impact. After discovering that he was inside the Bastet metal, he immediately guessed Zhuo Yue's intentions.
"So weak. If I don't parasitize, I'll use up too much energy while awake … Hmm? I'm falling? "
He released his spiritual power and scanned his surroundings. He broke through the surface and arrived at the edge of an underground city.
Clean and tidy passages, tens of thousands of balls with smooth surfaces flew in this underground city, forming a unique transportation network.
As for the buildings, they were even larger spherical objects. Their surfaces were like mirrors, refracting the light from the glowing balls everywhere, causing light to fill the entire underground city.
For an unknown civilization, Lan Mu guessed that this was to conserve energy? Almost all the buildings and objects had reflective surfaces, allowing light to be used as much as possible.
"I seem to have suddenly barged in, right? I didn't bring the ring … The only thing I can rely on is this Bastet metal. Right now, I'm too weak, so I have to parasitize it immediately. "
Lan Mu was a little annoyed. He had asked Zhuo Yue to find a suitable group of creatures for him to parasitize, but perhaps she hadn't made it clear. If the technology was too strong, then forget it. He would rather parasitize humans than let himself enter an unknown and dangerous zone in such a weak state.
Zhuo Yue completed her mission very well. It wasn't her fault. If there was anyone to blame, it was Lan Mu's fault for being a little reserved and not making it clear that he was in an extremely weak state.
"As expected, there's an aircraft coming this way … There's no other choice. I have to give up on the Bastet metal …"
Lan Mu was once again tricked by his own transformation. In his spore form, it was very dangerous to be discovered.
Leaving the Bastet metal behind, Lan Mu drifted in the air.
There was a large amount of helium and acidic substances in the air, which were quite harmful to him in his spore form.
He couldn't care less. He directly drilled into the body of a creature nearby. The creature was two meters tall, had a single eye, four limbs, and one look at its muscles and he could tell that it contained explosive power.
And as soon as Lan Mu went in, he felt waves of piercing pain.
"F * ck! Why is there so much acid in the body? "
"And … where's the brain?"
Lan Mu needed to parasitize and fuse with the brain of a creature. He never thought that in this world, there would be a creature without a brain!
And a creature with intelligence!
