I was exposed for mining on Mars

The United Solar System Civilization completed its first ten-year development plan in a strange and tense atmosphere.

The ten enhanced particle detectors launched into deep space finally sent back news for the first time.

However, unlike what Luo Xiu had originally imagined, the first particles to send back signals were not the five detectors that were launched towards the outside of the Orion cantilever. Instead, it was the particle detectors that were launched towards the farther away Cygnus constellation. information.

In the picture, a group of gray silver-white light spots form a sharp contrast with the vast silver sea behind them.

"these are?"

When Luo Xiu got this image from Xue He, he immediately fell into deep thought. The first impression this image gave him was that of a group of shooting stars.

But don't forget that it is the deep space of the universe. Compared with the stars behind those light spots, they are very regular and the number is very large, so the identities of these light spots are likely to be battleships.

And being able to send the other party's image at such a close distance to you means that they are heading in roughly the same direction.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, is it possible that this is the super battleship of the Cygnus omnic civilization that Nolan is talking about?"

Xue He said what Luo Xiu wanted to say but didn't.

In fact, Luo Xiu himself has this idea, because the Star Gate has been partially destroyed by the Kasakuk civilization, but judging from the opponent's speed, it should not be in this area.

And if the speculation is true, then it is very likely that within these ten years, the Cygnus omnic civilization will also increase the speed of its ships?

But without the help of affiliated civilizations? How does it improve the performance of its own ships?

Compared with the other party, all the technologies of the United Solar System Civilization have not reached the level of near-light speed. This is already considered a technological bottleneck of the United Solar System Civilization.

Although it sounds like a technological breakthrough, it is a huge change in overall technology.

It can be said that if the Cygnus omnic civilization has really mastered super-light speed technology, then it will be invincible against the current United Solar System civilization.

Xue He hasn't realized Luo Xiu's worries yet. He is still explaining more information contained in this picture.

"This is the No. 2 particle detector. Its original destination was to go to the main star of the Nolan civilization, where it wanted to explore the traces left by the battle where the Cygnus omnic civilization destroyed the Nolan civilization. But now I have asked It chased those points of light."

Xue He said.

Luo Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and then said: "What's the situation now?"

If the opponent really masters super-light speed technology, the particle detector will obviously not be able to catch up.

"Currently, the No. 2 particle detector has arrived in the vicinity of the opponent's fleet and is waiting for further orders from the commander."

Because he was worried about the risks that rash action might bring, Xue He did not make the decision on his own regarding the next move of the No. 2 particle detector.

Luo Xiu nodded, he was still very satisfied with Xue He's decision.

And judging from the current situation.

Since the particle detector can get close to the other party, it is very likely that the local area has not mastered the super-light speed technology, and there is still hope of victory in this war.

"Extend the microscopic particle detector in the 'Umbrella' project in this direction, and move the other two particle detectors launched into the Orion cantilever in this direction."

Luo Xiu issued the first order.

Before he could no longer determine whether the enemy had the technology to target particle detectors, he could not directly use his only current method of getting close to and understanding the opponent.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Xue He immediately issued an order to his clone No. 1.

"Obviously, the No. 2 particle detector is confirming some basic information on the opponent's fleet from a long distance, including the number of fleets, whether there are intelligent life forms in the fleet, and the opponent's communication signals."

Luo Xiu continued.

"yes."

Now that it is determined that this fleet is likely to be a fleet sent by the Cygnus omnic civilization to the United Civilization of the Solar System, it is necessary to know more information about the other party.

And once the other party arrives in Orion, after discovering that all the star gates have been destroyed, it is likely that the first action will not be to find their United Solar System Civilization, but to establish the star gate first, and then allow more fleets to arrive in Orion.

Therefore, if this fleet cannot be stopped or destroyed, then this war will be over from the beginning.

Because possible hostile fleets have been discovered, more and more figures are beginning to appear in the combat headquarters of the United Solar System Civilizations.

And with the action of the No. 2 particle detector, information about the opponent's fleet was transmitted back one after another.

"The fleet numbered one thousand ships."

"Discover regular communication signals and confirm the existence of traces of intelligent civilization."

"The surface data of the battleship is three times that of the Qinhuang class, and the relevant data on firepower has not yet been confirmed."

This is all the information for the first phase.

Qiong, who had arrived at the Starship Civilization Operations Command Room from Proxima Centauri C, looked at the data model of the super battleship on the stereoscopic projection in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The data of this kind of super battleship is indeed more exaggerated than that of the most powerful civilized ship in the former cruising fleet.

But the number is too small, and it is probably unrealistic for them to defeat the more 'mysterious' ghost fleets.

Twenty years after the war, although the information about the ghost battleship is still top secret, Qiongduo knows something about it.

She knew that the technology of these ghost battleships, which were more terrifying than those in other civilizations, came from the strong interaction technology of Proxima Centauri b, but she didn't know much about the more specific details.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, I don't see anything on this battleship that is related to the battleships in the cruising fleet. Even its appearance has no connection."

Qiong looked at Luo Xiu who was sitting in front of the crowd, shook his head and said.

Luo Xiu nodded to her, then looked at Xue He.

"How are your preparations going? Have other particle detectors and microscopic particles reached their predetermined positions?"

"It will take half a month, but the opponent's speed and direction have been locked and will not escape our detection range."

Xue He said.

Luo Xiu nodded, and then said: "Okay, let's let the No. 2 particle detector take action. I want to see which civilization has become the vassal civilization of the Cygnus omnic civilization again."

Compared to the super fleet of the Cygnus civilization, Luo Xiu is obviously more interested in the intelligent civilization above.

After confirming Luo Xiu's order, Xue He immediately issued the order to Clone No. 1.

Then the No. 2 particle detector finally approached the fleet at a closer distance.

After the simulation and restoration of the scene, everyone could already 'see' this scene, and their hearts could not help but lift up in their throats.

If the No. 2 particle detector is discovered by the other party, it means that the other party is likely to have reached or even surpassed their level in micro-particle carving technology.

Then they would have no more means to detect the opponent's super team.

When the gap in high-end combat power is known, if there is no intelligence advantage, then the chance of winning by the United Solar System Civilization will disappear bit by bit.

However, in their eyes, Particle No. 2 finally 'entered' the last battleship of the opponent's fleet.

Because of the particularity of particle detectors, except for special materials such as strongly interacting materials, general materials cannot block them.

When everyone saw this scene, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

This means that although the Cygnus omnic civilization still occupies a great advantage in other aspects of technology, at least they are not without a chance of winning.

"During this period, we need to produce more particle detectors." Luo Xiu also showed a look of relief and said to Xue He.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, shall we contact the intelligent civilization on this fleet next?"

Xue He asked.

"First confirm the characteristics of that intelligent civilization, then let Qiong confirm its race, and finally make a decision."

Luo Xiu glanced at Qiong and said.

The two nodded, this was the real reason why Qiong came here.

If they can really contact or even instigate the intelligent civilization on this fleet, it will undoubtedly gain and save them more time, and at the same time increase their chances of winning.

Luo Xiu already knew through the experience of the Kasa Cook civilization that most Cygnus vassal civilizations are actually very unwilling. It is just because of the absolute gap in combat power and threats that they have to become vassals of the other party. Race.

But once there is a chance to break away from each other, they will definitely not give up.

…

The Cygnus Omnic Civilization was sent to the vanguard fleet of the Orion Cantilever.

Rowan, the Speaker of the Hark Tribe, is sitting in a small conference room. There are several members of his tribe around him, but most of them are mechanical clones of the omnic civilization.

These mechanical bodies are more than three meters tall, with two heads and four mechanical arms, each holding a different weapon.

But the armed force of just one mechanical body on the other side is enough to deal with a group of ten Hackers.

Not to mention that there are less than two thousand Hackers in this fleet, and they are scattered among all the warships.

As long as there are enough resources, these mechanical bodies can be produced continuously. It can be said to be a veritable army of locusts.

The mission of their advance fleet is to go to Orion to inspect the star gate there.

If the Stargates still exist, they will station themselves there and build more Stargates.

But if the star gate is destroyed, they need to find a new resource star, then build a base there and then build the star gate again.

In addition to being an 'overseer', the Harker's task is to negotiate with new civilized races that may emerge.

Of course, the principle is that the Cygnus omnic civilization has already planned to be ‘destroyed’ or become a vassal.

The Harks are no strangers to such things, but this time it is different from before. Their status is lower than before, and they are no different from slaves.

But as the Speaker, when Rowan saw the scene of Nolan civilization being destroyed, he still couldn't see with his own eyes that the Harks faced the same fate.

"No matter what the circumstances, we must preserve the fire of the Haq civilization." This is Rowan's belief.

While Rowan was still thinking about the fate of the Harker family, a number 10:09 suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Rowan stood up instantly. He thought it was a new mission assigned to him by the Cygnus omnic civilization.

"What happened?"

A mechanical body next to him came over, with four weapons aimed at him at the same time.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable."

Rowan immediately sat back down.

These mechanical bodies can be said to be the data clones of the Cygnus omnic civilization.

Although I don’t know why it was not obliterated by the unknown civilization, this time it seems to be even more distrustful of the vassal civilization.

"What exactly is this?"

Rowan waved his hand in front of him, but the red font did not appear in front of him, but seemed to appear in his eyeballs.

"Rowan?"

The red font instantly changed from a number to Rowan's name in the lingua franca of the cruising fleet.

Rowan's eyes widened instantly. Although he didn't know what technology and means the other party used to achieve this scene, he must be someone from the cruising fleet and he knew him.

But he didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, another line of small words appeared on his eyeballs.

"Just nod or shake your head, I can see you."

see? Could it be that the other party is on this battleship?

Rowan was suddenly confused, but he still nodded slightly.

"Very good, are you imprisoned by the other party?"

nod.

"Are you targeting the Orion cantilever?"

nod.

"Is your target the star gate there?"

Rowan was shocked and continued to nod.

"If we can save you, will you help us fight against the Cygnus omnic civilization?"

This time Rowan did not nod.

Because he didn't know how to express what he was thinking.

There were only two thousand Harks on this fleet, but hundreds of thousands of Harks were taken away from the main star.

As the Speaker, does Rowan really have the qualification or right to abandon other tribesmen for these two thousand people?

And he also has doubts about this mysterious man. Although the methods shown by the other party are incredible, in his opinion, since the other party's goal is the Cygnus omnic civilization, they may not necessarily have the chance to fight this conflict or even a war. Chances of winning, otherwise I wouldn’t have contacted him.

Just when Rowan hesitated.

Another string of characters appeared in his eyeballs.

"We can promise to save all your people, and you don't need to defect from this fleet immediately. We just need you to provide more intelligence, how about it?"

This time, Rowan nodded without any hesitation.

What can he do? Now even if the news about this 'mysterious man' is told to the mechanical bodies next to him, I'm afraid the best treatment he can get is to be dissected.

And when he thought of being able to escape the clutches of Cygnus's suffocating civilization, he had to give it a try, even if there was little hope.

"Very well, keep in touch in ten minutes. We need your cooperation."

…

At this time, in the Solar System United Civilization Operation Command Room, except for Luo Xiu and Qiong, everyone else hugged each other and cheered.

Being able to achieve this step is already a huge breakthrough for them.
