With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 289 Ghost Song

"The signal has been resolved."

At the moment when the light of the ghost fleet stopped flashing, the quiet cockpit of the Varela suddenly remembered the electronic sound of Yi.

Chen Fan's eyes darkened slightly and he lowered his head to look at the holographic interface above the main console.

Lines of text began to emerge.

[Machines dance wildly in the deep starry sky, killing all living creatures in the universe]

[Invasions from foreign lands appear in every corner of the starry sky]

[Undetectable undead spirits linger around every civilization]

[Our fleet covers the sky]

[But it still cannot withstand the destruction that finally comes]

Chen Fan raised his head slightly and stared at the ghost fleet drifting away outside the porthole window.

At this moment, he seemed to see an invincible fleet taking the initiative to face those unknown enemies!

The melody changed slightly, and a deep starry sky gradually emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

The high-pitched singing gradually dropped, and the melody became heavy and sad again.

Although the melody has stopped, Chen Fan and Captain Olaya in the communication channel are still immersed in this epic song.

Chen Fan's frown slightly relaxed.

"audio signal?!"

"Put the entire audio message out."

Chen Fan was stunned, his eyes full of confusion: "What does this mean?"

A complex melody that was difficult to describe in words suddenly sounded in the cockpit.

suddenly.

Sadness, sorrow, helplessness...

Thinking of this, Chen Fan issued an order to Yi: "Remember, don't make any deletions."

Hearing Yi's words, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

A soft and somewhat sacred voice, like the chanting of a god, echoed in the cockpit.

Yi somewhat didn't understand the meaning of Chen Fan's command. In its view, those complex and changeable melodies were just useless interference information.

This is a song that touches the soul.

Although Chen Fan could not identify the instruments appearing in the melody, he could still clearly feel the intention of the song.

[Machines dance wildly in the deep starry sky...]

The content of the chant is naturally the information extracted by Yi.

[Our fleet covers the sky...]

As a simple-minded Level I artificial intelligence, Yi definitely cannot understand this kind of perceptual level information.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this a song?"

Tens of seconds later.

Chen Fan's heart trembled.

“Broadly speaking, it really fits the definition of a song.”

The melodious, sad melody suddenly changes!

As the majestic and exciting melody sounded, the chanting became louder.

The picture in Chen Fan's mind began to gradually change - huge starships broke the tranquility of the starry sky and slaughtered life in the universe wantonly.

At some point, the soft light emitted by the fleet began to flicker again.

Because of this, it self-defeatingly reduces relatively complex audio information into a simple piece of text.

You know, songs and lyrics are two different things. In some cases, the melody and lyrics may even reflect two completely different artistic conceptions.

The moment he heard the melody, Chen Fan felt a burst of complicated emotions in his heart.

"I saw that the burst of light just flickered quite frequently, didn't it?"

It has nothing to do with culture, experience, or race.

"And... so short?"

The prelude ends.

"To be precise, this is an audio signal." An electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit. "In order to improve efficiency, this machine has extracted the effective information in it."

He knew that the invincible fleet failed - destruction came, and the civilization where the fleet was located disappeared in the long river of history.

As long as they hear this song, any intelligent creature will immediately understand the emotions contained in this song - not just Chen Fan, but also Isa, Gao Yuan, and even Captain Olaya who is still in the Marsh Abyss Fleet. , all showed extremely sad expressions at this time.

But since Chen Fan said this, it naturally played the entire compiled and decoded audio information without hesitation.

Still the same frequency as before.

only……

At this moment, in Chen Fan's eyes, this ghost fleet is no longer scary.

It is like a homeless, wandering prodigal, pouring out the despair he has experienced to all around him in a language that no one can understand.

No wonder this ghost fleet looks in tatters!

Chen Fan later realized something:
All the scars on the surface of the ghost ship's hull are the marks left in that shocking war!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the fleet's figure began to slowly dissipate, and finally disappeared into the vast starry sky.

The starry sky once again returned to its former calm.

"The ghost fleet has disappeared."

The electronic synthesized sound sounded in the quiet cockpit, and Isha and Gao Yuan suddenly came back to their senses as if they were waking up from a dream.

Isa's eyes were slightly red, and a few crystal tears rolled back and forth in them.

Obviously, the chanting song from the Ghost Fleet just now gave her a great shock.

The moment she looked into Chen Fan's eyes, Isa opened her red lips slightly, but could not say any words.

"What exactly has this fleet experienced..."

On the other hand, Gao Yuan, who was on the side, relied on his thick nerves to quickly recover and asked in a low voice.

Chen Fan shook his head, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Although this song gave them a general understanding of the past of the Ghost Fleet,...

Whether it’s machines dancing wildly in the starry sky, invasions from foreign lands, undetectable undead, or the ultimate destruction...

All the words were quite vague descriptions, and Chen Fan had no way of knowing their true meaning. ——Ya didn’t give any comments at all! ! !

"..."

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and quickly passed his sour eyes with his right hand: "Initiate cross-universe communication to Academician Song Ziliang immediately."

The content of the song can be played first, but the most important thing now is the encryption method of the Ghost Fleet information.

Why does this ghost fleet that they have never met know the universal encryption method of the People's Federation? !
What does it have to do with the People's Federation? !

With deep confusion, Chen Fan raised his head and looked at the holographic communication interface above the main console.

……

"What did you say?!"

In the communication interface, Song Ziliang looked up from the dense holographic panel in front of him with a pair of thick dark circles: "A ghost fleet that can only be seen with the naked eye?"

"Active radar can't detect this fleet yet?!"

Song Ziliang looked at Chen Fan with a confused look on his face: "Boy Chen, is it you who didn't wake up or I who didn't wake up?"

Chen Fan: "..."

He pointed carefully at Song Ziliang's thick dark circles: "I think no matter what happens, you won't wake up."

"Recently the administration..."

Song Ziliang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his dazed eyes quickly regained their energy.

"Stop talking, the administration is going crazy during this period."

"The scientific research ship was found, the existence of broadcast civilization was confirmed, and they also took action against the scientists of the People's Federation..."

"Together these three things together, not to mention the administration, the People's Academy of Sciences has entered a state of emergency."

"Let's talk about your business first."

Song Ziliang regained his energy and called up the mission record that Chen Fan had just uploaded to check it out.

"..."

Time passed little by little, and Song Ziliang's expression gradually became strange.

"Level 7 civilized war?"

"Star sand? Induce resonance? Thought stamp? Nanomachines?!"

"ah??!"

Song Ziliang put his hand on his forehead and let out a long sigh: "Young horseman, I told you before that there was something wrong with you."

"You can encounter this kind of thing just by wandering around..."

Amid Chen Fan's sneer, Song Ziliang looked at the investigation plan attached to the last page: "Well done. The investigation of the mine-laying alliance will be carried out according to your ideas."

"If you can't beat them, just remember to shake them off. Don't worry, the People's United Fleet is professional in handling this kind of thing."

"Now let's talk about the ghost fleet you saw." Song Ziliang looked a little more serious, "Are you sure what you saw earlier was not the three-dimensional projection of the high-dimensional fleet?"

"of course not!"

Chen Fan categorically denied Song Ziliang's words and sent all the detection data of [Varela] to the other party: "[Varela] did not detect any gravitational effects."

Song Ziliang silently looked at the detailed observation data in front of him.

There is no gravitational effect or space-time fluctuation. It seems that the other party is indeed not a high-dimensional projection.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time reached out and pinched his frowning eyebrows:

"How could such a thing happen..."

"Academician Song, you don't know the reason?" Chen Fan was a little surprised.

Song Ziliang shook his head and admitted frankly: "The People's Federation has never encountered such a situation."

"The knowledge I have cannot explain this strange phenomenon."

"There is no end to nothingness, and the knowledge mastered by the People's Federation is just a small scoop of sea water in the vast ocean."

As he spoke, Song Ziliang frowned and stared at the last few lines of text in the report.

"The other party also used Renlian's encryption method?"

"After the signal was analyzed, a song about the fleet's experience appeared?!"

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Song Ziliang's eyes grew wider and wider, and finally he couldn't bear it and uttered a curse word: "What are you talking about with me?!"

Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly: "...but this is the truth."

Song Ziliang raised his hand and rubbed his numb face vigorously, then silently operated on the holographic panel beside him.

A few minutes later.

"I checked, and there is absolutely no such fleet within the People's Federation!"

Song Ziliang said in a serious tone: "I called the central mastermind database of the People's Academy of Sciences. Among civilizations above level six, no civilization has a starship model like this."

"Not to mention advanced civilizations, even civilizations below level six do not have starships of this style!"

Chen Fan fell into silence.

have to.

This is truly a supernatural event.

"And the lyrics in the song..."

Song Ziliang looked gloomy: "Do you have any idea about this?"

Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly.

A clue? If he had a clue, he wouldn't ask Song Ziliang!

"Machines, invasion, undead..." Song Ziliang murmured in a low voice while listening to the ghost song that touched his soul.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Academician Song?"

Hearing Chen Fan's voice, Song Ziliang came back to his senses.

He glanced at the communication interface and said, "Whether it's the ghost fleet or this ghost song... I'm afraid it's not something I can solve."

"I have to go back to the Academy of Sciences myself."

"As for you...since the ghost fleet has disappeared, you will first carry out the previous investigation mission."

"By the way, let me remind you that the inter-universe transfer process for investigators has officially begun."

After saying that, Song Ziliang left his office in a hurry.
