The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 341 Heavy Speculations

"The latest evidence, the comparison of this structure is complete. The other party's structure is shared with the culprit of the Colony Planet No. 7 incident. The mode of action is unknown, but the manifestation is almost exactly the same."

Those who have conducted in-depth research on the incident on Colony Star No. 7 and a series of subsequent situations are now basically scattered among the various exploration fleets. This has indeed had an effect. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or if there is some more critical intelligence. The higher levels of the mother civilization have already known about it and have made plans for it.

Naturally, this exploration fleet also includes members of the relevant project team after the Colony No. 7 incident, including researchers who were investigating the strange communication methods of the real mastermind behind the Colony No. 7 incident.

“What about accuracy?”

"According to the scans conducted by the temporarily installed equipment, the structure seems to have been improved, but the underlying principles are exactly the same. Combined with the advanced nature of this structure, the possibility of something naturally converging to a similar structure is infinitely close to zero."

Countless summarized data were listed, all of which proved that a certain core structure hidden in the structure of this detector was exactly similar to the communication structure that was the culprit of the incident on Colony Star No. 7, in which each individual sent and received some unknown signal in their body, with a transmission efficiency that was enough to exceed the speed of light.

“But it’s not absolutely zero after all.”

Even if the probability is tiny, it is not impossible to happen when considering the huge base number brought by the terrifying scale of the entire universe. Everyone is also very clear about this.

"But the size of this star region, or even this galaxy, is limited." He seemed to have thought of this long ago, and continued, "From the situation of Colony Star No. 7, there is no evidence that they are large enough to complete the voyage across the galaxy, let alone transfer between galaxies."

Even though the existence of hyperspace lanes greatly reduces the cost of traveling across star systems, it is completely impossible to cross the entire galaxy with current technology and even theoretical levels, and traveling across the galaxy is even more unthinkable.

Existing observation methods cannot show whether there are hyperspace channels connecting the galaxies. If so, it is not known whether this hyperspace channel is different from that between star systems. If it does not exist between the galaxies, the terrifying distance is far greater than that between star systems.

Whether it is the perpetrator of the tragedy on Colony Star No. 7 or the unknown existence now, judging from the various levels demonstrated by the other party, it is impossible for them to have the ability to travel such long distances, which means that they must have been born and raised near this star field.

"The vastness of the universe will magnify any tiny probability, but when such a small probability event occurs in the same star field that is not even one ten-thousandth the size of a small galaxy, there is probably no second possibility."

At this point, no one had any doubts about the other party's origin. However, after all, no one wanted to face the real bad news, so some people still put forward some other speculations.

"Is there a possibility that the other party will split into different factions or forces and fight among themselves?"

"I don't know much about this, but based on the information I know, since this signal communication directly connects consciousness, countless connected nodes form a completely integrated network. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of splitting."

At this moment, the researcher who was studying the special connection structure seemed to be trying hard to recall something. The light signal flickered, and a series of known conclusions and various references gradually painted a complete picture, which also denied this possibility. "So, can this be achieved by forcibly cutting off this connection with external force?"

“The connection of this structure does not seem to be a node network as we know it, but an extremely complex interlaced structure that ensures that each node is connected to all other nodes. It has extremely high stability. If you want to cut it off, you can only unilaterally and completely cut off the connection with all other nodes.

“This means that it is impossible to split a relatively complete network by cutting off some connections, and a single node cannot make logical actions and cannot form a network again, unless, before this set of connection structure is formed, different batches of nodes have already formed different networks separately.”

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something. The light signal became heavy, and he continued with a voice that sounded like a sigh: "My above speculation is only based on my understanding of the form of these connection structures. I don't have a deep understanding of the other party's cluster composition. In this regard, I have to look for others."

"Who?"

This brief question represented everyone's thoughts. At this moment, this person seemed to have become the hope of the whole village, the last straw. Although in the current situation, this was likely to only help them survive for a little longer.

But only other researchers who had also participated in the project, or simply knew the real situation behind the project through various means, or simply associated it with something, remained silent, as if they already knew the ending.

"In the entire Ezki civilization, there is only one person who can be said to have conducted in-depth research in this area, Willery from the Fifth Exploration Fleet." The heavy signal slowly came out, "What a pity."

No one continued to speak after that, but everyone knew it well - since the other party was under the guise of the Fifth Exploration Fleet and could clearly state the approximate location of the Fifth Fleet, they must have encountered each other.

And no one thought that if this was the case, the Fifth Exploration Fleet would have a chance of survival, and it must have gone ahead.

"If that's the case, then it means that the other party must be related to the events behind Colony No. 7, the loss of contact with the mother civilization, the civil war in the exploration fleet, and so on."

"The current situation is already quite obvious. The other party may have some strange means of controlling people, and it is very likely that they can use this method to target other exploration fleets?"

"The whereabouts of the exploration fleet are likely known to the other party through the mother civilization, and the Fifth Exploration Fleet has also been attacked, so some intelligence may also be in the hands of the other party."

"With our current strength, it is difficult for us to fight against the enemy. So all we can do is fight to the death and ensure that the intelligence we have is not also obtained by the enemy, causing more harm to the survivors of the other exploration fleets."

"The goal is simple. Delay time and prepare to destroy everything. If possible, find a way to create some movement that can be observed on a long scale to alert other exploration fleets. If the signal is successfully transmitted and they survive until the signal crosses the light-year distance."
