Super Dimension Technology Era

Inside the unknown base of the Ghost Secret Service.

"Report, the Winged Man civilization has been completely extinct, and the engineer monitoring spacecraft is about to leave."

Chen Li stood up and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Take action immediately. I want to find out where the engineer civilization is located."

"clear."

A group of ghost agents concentrated on operating the quantum wormhole.

…

The engineer civilization's surveillance spacecraft launched the jump wormhole and passed through it without hesitation.

The 16 quantum wormholes followed like a shadow, and on the Ghost Secret Service's cosmic star map, those 16 quantum wormholes appeared 16.8 billion light-years away from the solar system.

But the Ghost Secret Service understood that this location was definitely not the home star domain of the Engineer Civilization, because after the surveillance spacecraft stayed for more than ten minutes, it once again expanded the wormhole and performed a second wormhole jump.

Looking at the star map of the universe in front of me, 16 quantum wormholes followed the monitoring spacecraft and jumped 6 times in twists and turns before staying in the starry sky 288.6 billion light-years away from the solar system.

"It seems that the engineer civilization is an intermediate civilization." Chen Li thought to himself.

After all, advanced civilizations are the reapers of the universe to a certain extent, and they probably won’t go to such great lengths to move around.

Only intermediate civilizations like the new human civilization would hide in fear. This speculation, coupled with the fact that the engineer civilization had no way to counter-detect the quantum wormhole, made Chen Ligao's heart calmer.

If the engineer civilization is an intermediate civilization, then the gap between the new humans and the other party will not be too big.

He turned his head and carefully observed the surveillance spacecraft's final destination.

An Earth-like planet slightly larger than Blue Star, but without an atmosphere. The surveillance spacecraft is parked directly at the spaceport on the surface.

There are quite a few spaceships here, many of which are similar to surveillance spacecraft. It is estimated that this is the home port of the surveillance spacecraft of the Engineer Civilization.

"Add some quantum wormholes and explore this star system and its surroundings." Chen Li ordered.

"receive."

The ghost agents jumped the last quantum wormhole into the interior of this star system and gradually expanded the monitoring range.

The secret reconnaissance lasted for more than a week, and the situation made Chen Li a little strange. After the engineer monitored the spacecraft's return to the planet, there was no movement.

And their reconnaissance of nearby star systems found no human activities, spacecraft, or the most important life planet.

"It seems that the engineer civilization is the same as us, and it is difficult to handle now." Chen Li said with a headache.

Qin Buyi, leader of the Engineer Civilization Task Force, was also troubled by this. Although he had manipulated quantum wormholes many times to track other Engineer spacecraft, the spacecraft on this steel planet were all similar surveillance spacecraft.

After multiple tracking, it was also discovered that these spacecraft were monitoring various experimental civilizations.

"Director Chen, I estimate that this planet is a relay planet for the Engineer Civilization. These spacecraft will not return to their home star field."

Chen Li agreed with this view: "It should be similar to our quantum wormhole relay spacecraft. The purpose is to prevent the coordinates of the home star field from being exposed."

"Bureau Chen, let us continue to pay attention to this matter."

"Well, I'll bother you then." Chen Li nodded and left here immediately.

He is the head of the Ghost Secret Service, so naturally he cannot keep an eye on the Engineer Civilization. The real enemy of the new humanity is the Reapers, and this is the one he should focus on.

Qin Buyi continued to analyze and study this planet. Judging from the size and industrial power of the opponent's spaceships on the Iron Planet, there are at least 3,000 to 5,000 spacecrafts in operation here.

The spaceships at the spaceport return from time to time, or go out to perform missions, which means that there are many experimental civilizations of the Engineer Civilization, perhaps even tens of thousands.

If he, Qin Buyi, planned it, he probably would not have centralized the control centers of the experimental civilization. Intermediate civilizations had almost understood the nature of the universe and generally would not be stupid enough to put their eggs in one basket.

Extrapolating back, there may be at least several, maybe even dozens, of experimental civilization control and management centers in the engineer civilization.

While he was calculating and analyzing, he was writing an evaluation report on the engineer's civilization.

Various current signs indicate that the engineer civilization, like the new human civilization, is an intermediate civilization and has mastered wormhole jumping technology and quantum communication (uncertain).

The technology of vacuum decay bombs should not be mastered yet, at least there should be no mature vacuum decay bombs, but the theory may be.

A steel planet and some monitoring spacecraft can only bring these analyses. Other analyzes are ambiguous results that can only be taken at a glance.

Qin Buyi understood very well that if he could not advance to advanced civilization, he would be an ant after all. No matter how strong he was, he would still be an ant, so the engineer civilization was very cautious.

After returning from the opponent's surveillance spacecraft, he adopted a cautious attitude of not directly contacting the surveillance spacecraft, so he knew that the opponent knew about the existence of the Reaper civilization.

It is estimated that this experimental civilization monitoring and management center can be abandoned at any time and at any time. Even if the reapers discover this planet, they can escape intact.

This is what new humans should learn from. By spreading out, hiding, and keeping a low profile, you can dominate in a primary civilization, but you should still be cowardly when facing advanced civilizations. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Just like the arrogant Nibelung civilization, which seems to occupy an area of ​​tens of millions of light years, is actually exposing itself.

Now within the new human civilization, they are also very cautious. When colonizing planets, they must investigate clearly to avoid being discovered by other intermediate and advanced civilizations.

Qin Buyi led the ghost agents to conduct an in-depth investigation of everything about the Engineer Civilization, conducting a detailed investigation into the inside and outside of the steel planet.

Of course, they did not act rashly. Behavior similar to invading the computers of other civilizations is actually a very dangerous and stupid approach.

Without understanding the other party's computer technology level, if the other party has strong artificial intelligence, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return.

The more terrifying consequence is that being counter-controlled and counter-tracked by the other party will directly expose your own situation.

This is also the reason why the New Humanity has been very cautious after capturing the Heart of Nibelung. Even when it is connected to the computer, it is physically isolated layer by layer to prevent emergencies.

…

Before you know it, spring is passing and autumn is coming.

The Spring Festival of the 30th year of the New Era has arrived. Over the past few years, the New Humanity has been developing in an orderly manner, and all plans have not been left behind.

However, the speed of technological development has gradually slowed down, and the technology after advancing to the intermediate civilization has become very unpredictable.

Now Huang Mingzhe is leading the Science and Technology Committee to check and fill in the gaps in the technology tree of New Humanity, trying to lay the foundation for all aspects of technology to avoid being top-heavy.

This is something that has to be done. The time for new humans to enter the intermediate civilization is too short and there is not enough accumulated time.

It will only be less than 3,000 years before the engineer civilization comes to the Milky Way again.

If possible, the new humanity does not want to abandon the Milky Way. It will only abandon the Milky Way when it is absolutely necessary.

As for the vacuum decay bomb, which is highly valued by the war committee, all ideas have remained on paper since the project was established.

The theory has been improved a lot, but the engineering difficulty is still as out of reach as a Dyson sphere.
