I was exposed for mining on Mars

Luo Xiu fell into deep thought in front of the cheering virtual combat command room. He could not tell the news to others present because it was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

After briefly saying a few words at the end of the mission, Luo Xiu exited the virtual space, and then contacted Xue He, Gou Wen, Cao Guolin and Qiong at the same time.

These are the four people he trusts most at the moment. If none of them can accept the news, it will only prove that Luo Xiu himself has misjudged the person.

It was pretty much what Luo Xiu expected. Although the faces of the four of them became solemn and even ugly after hearing Luo Xiu's information and speculation, no one said a word of dejection.

After all, except for the newly joined Qiong, the other three people have been through thick and thin with Luo Xiu, and they have long been accustomed to dangerous situations.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, we already understand the situation, but according to the current intelligence we have, even if the Cygnus omnic civilization knows how to mine neutron star materials, it currently does not have any intelligent civilization vassals at its disposal. Maybe it does not know how to mine it at all. To develop materials with strong interactions."

Xue He was the first to say.

The Blue Star trio are also people who have undergone mechanical ascension surgery. Although they now have the organic body of a biochemical human again, they understand the flaws of the mechanical body more deeply than the average person.

Even if the Cygnus omnic civilization is the pinnacle of artificial intelligence, it cannot escape the common problem of mechanical bodies, which is the inability to create and research.

Gou Wen and Cao Guolin also nodded after hearing Xue He's statement, obviously holding the same view as Xue He.

Among the five people present, except Luo Xiu, only Qiong did not speak. I don't know whether it was because it was the first time to attend such a 'core meeting' or because of her personality.

Luo Xiu glanced at her and said, "Qiong, tell me what you think."

The other three people also focused their attention on the current speaker of the Kasaku tribe.

A look of surprise flashed across Gou Wen's face. You must know that the Kasakuku tribe is the latest race to join the United Civilization of the Solar System. Their number so far has not exceeded 10 million, whether compared to the Blue Star or Proxima b civilizations. A trivial amount.

Some people even think that the Kasaku people are not worthy of being called a civilization, not to mention that they are still the defeated party and are still in the period of atonement.

Unexpectedly, Qiong, as the representative of the Kasaku tribe, could discuss such a confidential topic with Luo Xiu alone with them.

Qiong didn't notice Gou Wen's abnormal expression. She glanced at Luo Xiu, then nodded and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I will say so."

After Luo Xiu smiled and nodded, Qiongcai said: "Actually, the Cygnus omnic civilization knows its own weaknesses better than we do."

"Um?"

"What do you mean?"

Gou Wen and Cao Guolin spoke at the same time, obviously dissatisfied with Qiong's first sentence.

"Continue." Luo Xiu did not express any opinion.

Qiong nodded and said: "As one of the ancestors of the omnic civilization, since the Cygnus civilization has conquered countless civilizations in the past and established a huge joint vassal civilization, it is to overcome its weakness."

"I do not deny that omnic civilization, as an advanced form of mechanical civilization, has its inherent disadvantages, but Cygnus has now mastered the means to mine neutron stars, so I am afraid it is only a matter of time before it is developed."

"But doesn't it have any vassal civilization now?" Gou Wen said eagerly.

Qiong nodded, then opened the star map of Cygnus, then pointed at a few slightly brighter spots around Cygnus and said.

"Although Orion is the arm constellation closest to Cygnus, Cygnus actually has two arm constellations in the other two directions, and don't forget that it also has a powerful interstellar fleet that wants to conquer like before A few civilizations is a very simple thing.”

Qiong said calmly.

Xue He and the other three were completely silent. It wasn't that they hadn't thought about this, they just didn't want to mention it.

After all, the two sides are now at war, and they don't really believe that the Cygnus omnic civilization will 'abandon' their side and go to other constellations to support development.

But they also forgot one thing, that is, the initiative in this war actually lies in the hands of the Cygnus civilization.

The first is the war it provoked, which the United Solar System Civilization was forced to defend out of desperation.

If the Cygnus civilization is really like what Qiong said, and first conquers new vassal civilizations, and then develops technology that uses neutron star materials, then endless wars will be waiting for Luo Xiu and the others.

Luo Xiu is not so arrogant that he can use the resources of the solar system to deal with a fleet piled up with all the resources in the arms of several constellations.

After understanding this, the three people's faces became even more ugly.

"I hope the Cygnus civilization will not be so 'smart'." Cao Guolin said with a wry smile. Even he knew that these were just words to comfort himself.

According to the underlying logic of general mechanical bodies, their behavior patterns are to find the optimal solution between effective actions, and now the Cygnus civilization only has the means to mine neutron stars, which is not considered an effective action.

"Xue He, please send all the protons developed by the institute during this period to Cygnus. No matter what the Cygnus omnic civilization will do, we must keep track of its trends. Even in the worst case scenario, we can know How much time do we have available?"

Luo Xiu said to Xue He.

"Yes, I understand." Xue He nodded.

"Of course, it would be better if we could find the true body of Cygnus. I guess his true body has probably been integrated with a certain planet. If you ask Proton to search for those resource stars, you may find something unexpected."

Luo Xiu said meaningfully.

In fact, the most direct way to solve this war is to get rid of the Cygnus omnic civilization, but because it is a ball of data, as long as the device that stores the data is still there, it is theoretically immortal.

And it is not as dependent on the environment as intelligent species, but in order to accommodate more and more data, it will at least store its key data on a resource star.

Xue He's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard Luo Xiu's words.

Cygnus is not a small constellation, with hundreds of millions of stars and countless planets. Finding the hiding place of the Cygnus civilization in such a large cosmic scale may be more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

But he didn't say anything. Whether it can be completed and whether to do it are two different things.

"The identity of the Cygnus civilization? Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief wants to..." Gou Wen looked at Luo Xiu, with a flame of uncertainty appearing in his eyes.

"Yes, the greatest reliance of the Cygnus civilization is actually its 'immortality', but if we can really find its body, maybe we can turn it into an organism."

Luo Xiu said calmly, but the others were not calm anymore.

They knew that Luo Xiu was referring to introducing the data of the Cygnus civilization into a biochemical human body through data restoration technology.

But this matter is really beyond their understanding, it is simply whimsical.

When they performed the data restoration surgery from the mechanical ascendants, they took great risks. Once part of the data was lost, the mildest case would be amnesia, and the most serious case would be becoming a vegetative state or even brain death.

As for a super machine like the Cygnus omnic civilization that has existed for who knows how many thousands of years, if we want to use data restoration technology to import its data into a biochemical human body, how big is the brain capacity of this 'human'?

Qiong also looked at Luo Xiu with a strange look. It had to be said that the thoughts of this Blue Star commander were always beyond her expectations.

"You don't have to worry about technical issues. I will personally arrange this. You should do your job first. We can't put eggs in one basket. This is just a backup method."

Luo Xiu sighed and said.

"yes."

The four of them nodded at the same time, but their expressions were already much better than at the beginning.

It is also a very lucky thing for Xue He and others to have a commander who is calm and thoughtful at all times. At least they only need to complete their own work.

The meeting ended quickly, and the four returned to their work.

Luo Xiu was about to try 'Pluto' again. During this period, he had to get familiar with 'Pluto' every day. On the one hand, he wanted to exercise the compatibility of Pluto's control system with him, and on the other hand, he did not want his body to deteriorate.

But at this moment, his quantum communication device rang, and Luo Xiu couldn't help but be confused.

You must know that his quantum communicator has the highest level within the United Solar System Civilization, and there is a dedicated person to intercept some unnecessary communications for him.

Those who can connect to him have relatively high status and positions, but he has inspected all the research institutes and military bases in the past two days. Who else has anything to do?

Although he was confused, Luo Xiu's movements were not slow and he quickly connected the communication, and then he couldn't help but frown.

The person in the picture turned out to be Dasara, a Kasaku who had been transferred to a distant place by him.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have arrived at the Flying Bird Research Institute and am taking over the work of the institute. There is currently no progress in the research on 'Folding'. I would like to explain the situation to you."

Dasara said with an expression of hesitation.

"If you have any difficulties or have anything to say, just tell me."

A hint of impatience flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes, but he hid it well.

"I want to know, is this 'folding' weapon really that important?"

Dasara suddenly asked, the underlying meaning of her words being 'Is my job important? ’ ‘Am I important? ’

But she still overestimated the thoughts of a homebody.

Luo Xiu didn't think about anything else at all. He explained in a calm tone: "'Folding' is a space weapon and the crystallization of the highest technology in the Cygnus civilization's technology library. But even so, it is only a semi-finished product. I It is expected that the power of the finished product can even open a dimensional door or create a wormhole."

"Dimension gate? Wormhole?"

When Dasara heard these two words, her breathing became a little rapid, and the expression on her face became even more complicated. She had forgotten the little idea of ​​contacting Luo Xiu in the first place.

Because both 'dimension gate' and 'wormhole' are advanced technological terms that she has never come across before in the cruising fleet.

To put it bluntly, including the Cygnus Civilization, the United Solar System Civilization and even the unknown civilization that destroyed the base camp of the cruising fleet, they are all in a three-dimensional universe.

In Dasara's view, the 'dimension door' mentioned by Luo Xiu is the passage that opens the four-dimensional universe and the three-dimensional universe, and no one knows what will be in the four-dimensional world.

Or a higher level of technology and a more brilliant civilization, or disaster and fear.

As for the 'wormhole', it is more realistic than the 'dimension gate'. It is actually the highest level of jump device, but it is realized through curved space, and can even reach from one side of the universe to the other.

No matter which one it is, it is enough to change the existence of a civilization. No wonder Dasara lost his temper.

And when he thought that Luo Xiu had entrusted him with such an important scientific research project, the initial doubts and hesitations in Dasara's heart immediately disappeared.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will do my best."

Dasara said excitedly.

Luo Xiu nodded and said: "Don't put too much pressure on you. After all, this is a semi-finished product that the Cygnus civilization gathered all the technologies and civilizations in the entire arm and spent hundreds of thousands of years to come up with it. As long as you have something Just improve it a little bit and it’ll be fine.”

Luo Xiu didn't think that Dasara, who was very passionate about power and was not a scientific researcher, could really accomplish anything. He just didn't want her to walk around him every day.

But what he didn't expect was that his words completely ignited Dasara's enthusiasm.

Moreover, this "Flying Bird" laboratory does have a group of top scientific research elites from the United Solar System's United Civilizations. Luo Xiu did have great expectations for "Folding" at the beginning.

So as soon as the communication ended and Dasara's job handover procedures were not completed, she couldn't wait to summon all the scientific researchers of the institute together.

"Everyone, we are all elite scientists of the United Solar System Civilization. You all know that we are currently engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Cygnus Civilization, and the key to winning or losing this war actually lies in our hands."

As a high-ranking member of the Kasakuk civilization, Dasara was very proficient in instigating people's hearts.

How can these scientific researchers who usually have little contact with outsiders be her opponents? They were soon fooled and looked excited, as if Dasara just said a word and they could pick up the guy and go out to fight.

Dasara is also very satisfied with this. Although Luo Xiu has tactfully 'persuaded' her, she feels that as long as this matter can be handled well, whether it is the development of the United Solar System Civilization or the relationship between her and Luo Xiu, distance, there will be unprecedented development.

And she will also get rid of the stain of being captured in the past and become a heroine who rewrote the war.
