Chapter 571 The Law of the Universe
Ten light-years, in the region at the edge of the solar system, humans can observe the situation here through astronomical telescopes, and for any detection spacecraft, you can check some conditions in the ten-light-year region, such as life reactions and other things. s things.

Just like Yu Zhiqian's current spaceship has traveled several light years, and it can still detect signals on the earth and satellites orbiting the earth.

"Approximately how long will it take to complete the jump!"

The spaceship is now moving at full speed. Although it has not yet reached the speed of light, Yu Zhiqian can see that the outer planet has been stretched too fast.

"There is still about 1 minute to reach the jump point. According to the energy reaction of the jump point, the opponent feels that it will take about 3 minutes to complete the jump!"

"Where did the other side come from!"

"The specific jumping time point cannot be detected, but according to the energy response wavelength, the opposite side may be jumping from an area of ​​more than [-] light-years!"

"so far?"

"Yes!"

Yu Zhiqian can't understand the technology of time-space jumping, but an unknown civilization [-] light-years away came to the earth and said that the opposite side is a peace ambassador. Yu Zhiqian really didn't believe it, and there was a time-space jumping point close to the earth. What do you think? They all seem to be headed towards the earth.

When Yu Zhiqian came to the time-space jump point, he felt a little familiar, and couldn’t help but rang a probe that was near Mars last time, and couldn’t help frowning: “The last time I remember finding similar devices around Mars, it’s just a probe. The installations belong to Yiqu people!
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, the assistant robot immediately turned on the scanning device, probed around Mars, and found the detector Yu Zhiqian said: "That is a signal detector, which can detect the information of spaceships passing nearby. Waiting for a means of civilization!"

"What do you mean?"

"In the universe, high-level civilizations need to rely on plundering the resources of low-level civilizations to improve themselves, because there are basic substances needed by life on the planets where civilizations appear, and these substances will more or less strengthen high-level civilizations to a certain extent. Therefore, advanced civilizations will randomly place detectors in some areas, and once energy fluctuations are found, they will be monitored and transmitted back, so..."

"You mean, Earth civilization has been exposed?"

"Your Excellency Commander, the earth civilization has been exposed since the first satellite went into the sky, but because the energy is too small, advanced civilizations don't care too much, but the last time your spaceship passed by, you may be detected, maybe It will be considered to have basic space exploration capabilities!"

"So the spaceship coming this time may be heading towards the earth!"

"There is a 90.00% probability that it is coming towards the earth!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard it, he nodded slowly. The system was so eager to give the spaceship to itself before, obviously because it was worried about accidents. Now it seems that this is the case. If it is discovered, humans may not have the ability to resist by then!

"If it is discovered by an alien civilization, what will happen to the earth civilization?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, if the earth civilization cannot resist the invasion of higher civilizations, it will become a colony planet of lower civilizations. The so-called colonial planets are the continuous mining of some minerals needed by higher civilizations, and they will be transported back to higher civilizations as resources. When the collection is over, the life of the earth is basically over!"

"This battle must be fought?"

"It has been detected that the probes around Mars are Yiqu people's probes. If the spacecraft that comes out of the space jump point is Yiqu people, then it is certain that the Yiqu people detection and investigation team will have a follow-up after confirming the situation on the earth. Colonial warships rushing to Earth!"

"So, kill them?"

"If it is shot down, it can only buy the commander about a month of Earth time. After a month, if the Yiqu people's detection spacecraft does not send back information, the Yiqu people will send a certain scale..."

After Yu Zhiqian finished listening, the whole person fell into silence, never expecting such a result.

"A month?"

Yu Zhiqian looked up at the starry sky, and a huge crisis appeared on the earth.

At the time-space jump point, the surrounding space has begun to distort, and a spaceship of the Yiqu people is making a time-space jump.

The Yiqu people are all giants, with an average height of more than five meters, so their spaceship is also very huge. At this time, in the command room of the spaceship, the three Yiqu people closed their eyes and rested in boredom.

During the space-time jump, the spacecraft will interrupt all calls and signal transmission. Everyone has no entertainment and can only be in a daze quietly. People who have been wandering in the universe all year round have long been used to it. This time it is only a [-] light-year jump , It only takes three days to complete. If it is more than [-] light-years, if there is no entertainment for seven or eight days, everyone will go crazy.

"Didn't the signal from the earth come back more than 30 years ago, as if there were some ancient civilizations just now? How come space tourism is already taking place now!"

The commander of the Seeker said something slowly.

"You know this place, I don't even know!"

"You may not have a good history class, so you don't know the history. Our civilization visited this planet a long time ago. If you read the book well, you will know that at that time they still relied on the most primitive means of transportation, the horse. You Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it before. I can't afford that thing now. It is said that only the rich people in Zhongzhou Star can afford it!"

"Well, I don't know what's going on with that planet. I hope to find a high-resource planet. In this case, we can occupy some places in advance and make a fortune!"

The people of Yiqu had already been a civilization of the universe tens of thousands of years ago. The Book of Mountains and Seas on the earth has recorded this kind of human beings. At that time, they first visited the earth. However, the production capacity of the earth people was backward at that time, and they could not be exploited at all. What is needed, so I just skipped it, leaving a detector to wait for it to be developed in the future, and then come to colonize.

This method is the most commonly used method among cosmic civilizations. As for why not help the earth people to improve their technology, and then let the earth people mine it, just kidding, how long does it take to teach a group of barbarians to use tools?It is also necessary to transport equipment from the other side of the distant galaxy, which requires manpower and material resources. The purpose of colonizing planets is to plunder wealth rather than invest.

As long as the planet develops, when the technology reaches a certain level, and the resources they need can be exploited, then send people to occupy them, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
The lifespan of Yiqu people is very long, more than ten times that of people on Earth. They can afford to wait. They have colonized the planet in this way for tens of thousands of years, and the effect is very good. It is almost zero investment and high return, so Yiqu people also In the unswerving implementation of this plan.

"Maybe, not enough. I looked at the ancient materials, and it seems that the people on that planet seem to be roughly similar to us, but they are all dwarfs and dwarves!"

In the eyes of Yiqu people with an average height of five meters, people on earth are really short.

"Okay, the time-space jump is about to end, and the energy shield is ready to be activated to avoid being attacked by others!"

"Understood, what kind of enemies can there be in this broken place? Could it be that the Trisolarans will appear here? It's too far away, I don't think the Trisolarans even know this place!"

Even so, the Yiqu people quickly opened the energy shield and opened the weapon system. This is some common sense in space navigation, because when the spaceship jumps in time and space, the energy fluctuation is too huge, and it can be easily captured by people. It is easy to be captured by people.

Some interstellar pirates will basically guard near the time-space jump point. When a spaceship completes the jump, they will attack instantly, causing the spaceship to lose power, and then they can easily rob the spaceship!
"Countdown to complete the jump, 10.9.8..."

When the countdown ended, the spaceship had come to the edge of the Milky Way solar system from a distance of [-] light years, and then a faint blue light flashed past, and the spaceship's protection system was activated.

"Let me just say, if there is someone who attacks us in this place, make a fuss!"

In the wandering of the universe, there will be danger at any time. When encountering a spaceship, both sides will turn on the weapon system. The universe is so big. If someone snatches you, you will be sunk directly. There is no law to restrict it.

"What's on the other side?"

As soon as the voice fell, they saw a spaceship that was much larger than them quietly floating in space not far from them.

"Damn it, it's a battleship!"

"Why is there a battleship here? Is he also preparing to jump in time and space? Is it our ship? Why didn't I see the sign of our ship!"

A man of nobility asked three times. On the planet where he was making a living, he met a strange spaceship, and the other party was much better at fighting than himself.

"Have you ever seen a spaceship that is about to jump turn on its weapon system? Damn it, surrender. Surrender at least the spaceship will not be sunk, and at most you will lose some money, but driving a battleship to rob such a remote planet is not a problem. Know what the captain of this fleet thinks!"

"Shall we do the jump right away?"

"It takes half an hour to prepare for the jump. Do you think the other side can't feel the energy fluctuations of our spaceship? Damn it, I don't want to die so early, even if I'm captured by pirates and go to work on some colonial planets, decades later I won't Can live, I don't want to die in outer space!
In the colonial era, everyone cherished their lives very much. Yes, they cherished their lives. Most countries in the interstellar era controlled resources that exceeded the population limit. Everyone enjoyed these various benefits, so everyone did not want to die. They all want to work hard to survive, so when encountering an irresistible enemy, most people will choose to surrender.

Generally speaking, if you encounter interstellar pirates, most of the time, if you can't beat them, the best way is to surrender immediately. After surrendering, the interstellar pirates will either search for the supplies and energy of the spaceship, and generally will not snatch the spaceship.

Or snatch the entire spaceship, but the number of doing so is not large, because you can easily take action to snatch cargo and other supplies, but if you snatch the spaceship, it is more difficult to take action, and you will be easily caught, so everyone Most pirates would not choose to do so.

Of course, there are also some pirates who will also capture people and sell them to some planets. Because human resources are precious, people also become valuable. Some resources and minerals can only be mined by manpower because robots cannot operate. These people will be sold here.

Of course, some people were sold to some planets as service personnel. The more advanced the civilization, the more popular they were on this planet.

"Okay, but I think we should routinely ask, if they don't have malicious intentions, we just surrender, wouldn't it be too stupid!"

The commander of the battleship said something in a low voice, and after looking at each other, the rest of the people nodded: "Well, I think so, enter the public communication channel and see what the other party is going to do, maybe they just Aware of energy fluctuations, entering a combat state.

On the spaceship, Yu Zhiqian looked at the spaceship that appeared in the distance, and touched his chin. This spaceship was about the same size as his previous star-level spaceship. Plant a spaceship to kill Yu Zhiqian.

Some people on the spaceship who didn't play games also saw the spaceship appearing opposite, and couldn't help but panic, looking at each other: "What happened? Why is there still a spaceship?"

"Have we encountered aliens?"

"I don't know, is Yu Zhiqian planning to sell us to aliens?"

There was some panic in the entire spaceship, and Yu Zhiqian turned on the radio after knowing it: "Everyone, don't panic, this spaceship is an alien spaceship we encountered by chance, the spaceship of the Yiqu people, and we are negotiating!"

Yu Zhiqian didn't know how to negotiate, so he could only look at the auxiliary robot beside him. He often fought wars, but they were all on the ground. It was really the first time that Yu Zhigan fought in space.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is no need to worry. After evaluation, even if the opponent uses up all the energy, they will not be able to break through the defense of the ship, and we only need one shot to penetrate their energy shield!"

The words of the auxiliary robot reassured Yu Zhiqian a little. After all, the opponent couldn't beat him, and he belonged to the kind that beat him with all his strength, but couldn't penetrate his defense.

"Can you communicate with the opposite party? Ask the opposite party what to do!"

The auxiliary robot slowly shook its mechanical head: "Your Excellency, in the interstellar world, when encountering such a situation, it is usually the side that is at a disadvantage who will ask us what we want. If we can satisfy us, They will try their best to be satisfied, and many spaceships will rob other spaceships in space!"
