Earth Era - Chapter 292
The signal soldier went out after reporting to General Emock, and General Emock looked at Xiao Yun again: “Do you have any thoughts on this matter?”
“Idea…” Xiao Yun said while thinking, “I agree with the inferences he reported to you, and I also think that this flickering is caused by the occlusion of some objects. The Raqqa Galaxy has never seen such a phenomenon before. Flickering, and now it’s appearing… Then it seems obvious that the demons that exist in the Raqqa system are blocking the radiation of the stars.”
“What are they doing in the Raqqa Galaxy?” General Emerk muttered to himself, “Blocking the light of the stars must require an extremely large number of robots to work together to do it, which means, It’s a big move, and I want to know what their intentions are.”
“You should probably consult your staff.” Xiao Yun said, “I don’t know how to fight, and I can’t judge the enemy’s intentions.”
“But the enemy is not a human being. They are most likely infinitely replicating robots.” General Emock looked at Xiao Yun deeply, “You are an expert in artificial intelligence. I want to hear your opinion.”
Xiao Yun said hesitantly: “The existing information is too little, I have no way to judge. But I have a principle to tell you, that is, all actions of the robot are infinitely copied, and all behaviors are based on the internally edited programs. , at the same time, all these actions and behaviors must be based on a purpose, that is, to replicate themselves faster and better. Robots do not do meaningless things, everything they do is for this purpose. In other words, What they are doing at the moment must also be to replicate themselves faster and better. As for the occlusion of the stars, I believe this is just a side effect. I think you may be able to think about it based on this premise.”
General Emock thought for a moment, then waved his hand: “You go out first.”
“Good general, goodbye.” Xiao Yun bowed deeply to General Emock, and then walked out of the general’s office.
This time, the conversation with General Emock not only did not relax Xiao Yun’s mind, but instead made Xiao Yun feel heavier and heavier. There are too many unknowns and mysteries plaguing Xiao Yun. Worries about the future always hovered in Xiao Yun’s mind and refused to leave. This made Xiao Yun walk a little heavy.
A logistics officer walked up to Xiao Yun, arranged accommodation for Xiao Yun, and informed Xiao Yun of his follow-up arrangements. After doing these things, the logistics officer left, and Xiao Yun came to the collective dining room of the earth-class spacecraft alone. Planning to have something to eat here.
The restaurant is full of soldiers in military uniforms. Because it is a rest time, the soldiers have also put aside their former seriousness and joked with each other constantly. The restaurant is full of laughter and laughter. It seems that only Xiao Yun is worried.
“They probably don’t know what they are about to face…” Xiao Yun thought silently, “After this expedition to the Raqqa galaxy, I don’t know how many people sitting here will be able to return to the solar system alive… …”
Regardless of whether the thing in the Raqqa galaxy is an infinite replica robot, this trip to the Raqqa galaxy will not go smoothly. This battle is bound to be tragic. Even if the human side dispatches an Earth-class spacecraft, Xiao Yun still doesn’t think that human beings have a certainty of victory.
After all, those things destroyed five Taishan-class spaceships and a large scientific research ship in a very short period of time, and the speed was so fast that those spaceships could not even escape.
When there is a war, people are bound to die. And if Xiao Yun remembers correctly, it has been since human civilization stepped out of the solar system until now. Except for some small-scale battles when dealing with interstellar pirates, there were no larger-scale battles that could be called wars.
“Hey…” Xiao Yun sighed silently, and after eating the rest of the dinner plate, he turned around and left.
Time passed quickly, a month passed in a hurry, and the preparations before departure were completed. There are a total of 2,216 combat spaceships of various levels, up to 100 heavy supply spaceships, and ten logistics spaceships, as well as more than three million soldiers, scholars, logistics support personnel, medical staff etc. All have gathered around the Earth-class spacecraft.
General Emock gave the order to start, so the more than two thousand spaceships began to accelerate together. After a certain distance from Sirius, the superluminal voyage was started, and these spacecraft disappeared from the visible universe together.
What awaits Xiao Yun and everyone in the spaceship will be a long journey of fifteen years. The rest also need to undertake a variety of on-duty tasks. This made them unable to hibernate all the time, but Xiao Yun was different. Xiao Yun did not undertake specific tasks, which meant that Xiao Yun could hibernate until he reached his destination. If something happens during the voyage that requires Xiao Yun to come forward, the crew in the spaceship will naturally wake Xiao Yun up.
The huge fleet just left the Sirius Galaxy, while the tens of billions of humans living in the Sirius Galaxy knew nothing about it. They’re still going on with their lives, they wouldn’t have thought about it anyway. The Earth-class spacecraft that once brought long-term peace to the Sirius Galaxy and the surrounding important shipping lanes has quietly left.
“I hope that the departure of the Earth-class spacecraft will not be known by those **** interstellar pirates.” Xiao Yun thought silently, “I also hope… this expedition to the Raqqa galaxy can eliminate those demons.”
The time for hibernation has come. Xiao Yun, who was lying in the hibernation cabin, flashed such a thought in his mind, and then the anesthetic gas was released. After a while, Xiao Yun entered the deepest sleep.
Time passed and the sea of stars changed. Fifteen years had passed when Xiao Yun regained consciousness again. The voyage was as peaceful as ever, and there were no accidents or changes during the journey. Everything was as peaceful as if only one night had passed and only one sleep had passed.
But Xiao Yun knew that many things were different from before. Nearly 30 light-years of time and space have brought a starry sky that is completely different from the Sirius galaxy or the solar system. There are still many stars in the sky, but they are all unfamiliar. No, they are unfamiliar to others, but not unfamiliar to Xiao Yun. Because just a few short decades ago, Xiao Yun once came here.
The sky full of stars has witnessed the tragedy that happened in the Raqqa Galaxy, Xiao Yun’s hurried escape, and the destruction of the five Taishan-class spaceships and the scientific research spaceship. But Xiao Yun doesn’t know what they will witness next. Xiao Yun hopes that what they will witness is victory and celebration, rather than death and swordsmen.
More than 2,000 spaceships stayed tens of billions of kilometers away from Raqqa Star. Although the distance is only so little, the star of Raqqa is still invisible to the naked eye. It’s too dim and too small.
Many probes have been launched into the Raqqa galaxy. Before they return further information about the Raqqa galaxy, the fleet will choose to be on guard in place and will not venture into the Raqqa galaxy.
In addition to the probes sent to the Raqqa galaxy, many probes have been launched into this vast space. Interstellar warfare is a matter that relies heavily on intelligence, and these probes arranged around the fleet are the source of intelligence for the fleet. Whether the enemy chooses a sneak attack or an upright attack, they cannot escape the detection of the detector.
Of course, in addition to undertaking intelligence collectors, those detectors also undertake another task, which is to collect possible spaceships or fragments of unknown creatures in the Raqqa galaxy around the Raqqa galaxy. The five Taishan-class spaceships and the scientific research ship must have fought fiercely with the unknown creatures in the Raqqa galaxy before they were destroyed, and since the battle has occurred, there will inevitably be fragments. By analyzing those fragments, General Emock will be able to gain a lot of intelligence.
But the subsequent development was very unexpected. The fleet has launched hundreds of thousands of probes in the more than half a month since it arrived in the Raqqa galaxy, and has explored and searched tens of billions of kilometers of space, but not even a single piece of debris has been found.
Strictly speaking, the fleet did find some things, but those things were all under a thousandth of a millimeter in diameter, although sophisticated detection instruments could distinguish them from ordinary interstellar dust~www.mtlnovel .com~ They also do prove that there was a war here, it’s just… where did all those big pieces go?
There are no debris around the Raqqa system. Probes sent to the Raqqa system also found no debris inside the Laqqa system. Not only did they not find the fragments, they didn’t even find the unknown life forms that were almost certain to exist in the Raqqa Galaxy, not a single one.
The Raqqa galaxy seems to have been cleaned most thoroughly. Except for the Raqqa star and its only planet, there is nothing else here. No alien monsters, no shipwrecks, no human corpses… nothing. Everything was clean as if all previous experiences were just a dream.
The Raqqa Galaxy still maintains its calm that has lasted for billions of years, as if it has never changed.
“Then let the robot land on the planet and have a look. Those alien monsters can’t leave a trace.” General Emock said. (To be continued.)
