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

Chapter 402: Xinaluo Star System
The outer region of the Xinaluo star system.

The star field that was originally filled with fixed artillery positions has been cleared to create a fairly vast open area.

Hundreds of Xinaro starships of different sizes and similar construction styles are quietly hovering in this star field, as if waiting for something.

suddenly.

Powerful space-time fluctuations suddenly appeared, and at the same time, a rapidly spinning wormhole quickly formed in the starry sky without any warning.

Witnessing such a magnificent scene, the hundreds of starships hovering in the starry sky seemed to have seen something shocking, and the originally neat queues became chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

next second.

A sleek starship that was small at both ends and large in the middle, with an overall olive shape, jumped out of the wormhole where light was overflowing.

"The starship has arrived at the preset destination."

As the familiar electronic synthesized sound rang out in the cockpit of the khaki starship, the constantly rotating wormhole began to dissipate rapidly, and the surrounding glowing accretion disk also returned to dimness, eventually turning into an inconspicuous speck of dust in the starry sky.

Chen Fan sat in the driver's seat and took a deep breath, trying to calm his uneasy mood. Although his interstellar diplomacy was always quite successful, he was well aware of the dangers of interstellar diplomacy.

Especially when communicating with a civilization that you have never met and have no idea about, it is a dangerous act comparable to walking on a tightrope at high altitude.

Although the two parties had already had simple communication in text form, offline communication still made Chen Fan feel a little worried.

after all……

Who knows what the true nature of this civilization is?
The Human Union’s database contains many vicious races that feed on highly intelligent life forms!
"…What are these Xinalo people doing?"

Just when Chen Fan was calming down, Hongshi's confused voice came from the co-pilot seat next to him.

Chen Fan subconsciously followed Hongshi's gaze and looked out the porthole.

Hundreds of flat-shaped starships kept retreating, and the neat formation became chaotic, as if... they saw something dangerous.

"what happened……"

Faced with this sudden abnormal situation, Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

This does not bode well for the upcoming investigation!
You have to ask clearly as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan reached out and operated the main console in front of him.

Since he was not sure about the other party's specific technological level, Chen Fan still adopted the most reliable electromagnetic wave communication solution.

After adjusting the electromagnetic wave communication frequency band, Chen Fan quickly compiled a message and sent it to the fleet ahead.

The distance between the two sides is not far, and even electromagnetic waves propagating at the speed of light can quickly reach the opponent's fleet.

Thirty seconds after the message was sent, the fleet that had been retreating suddenly stopped its original retreat, but they did not return to their original position. They just looked from afar at the [Anti-Varela] where Chen Fan was.

"They seem... afraid of this investigator starship?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, a hint of enlightenment emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

Beside him, Hongshi nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Fan's guess: "But... why should we be afraid of the investigator starship?"

"Before heading to the Xinaluo star system, Academician Wang Jing had already informed the Xinaluo civilization of the appearance of the investigator starship."

"Logically, they should know the identity of the investigator starship..."

"Let's wait. I guess the other party should give us an explanation." Chen Fan shrugged, leaned back in the chair, and waited patiently for the response from the Xinalo fleet.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse again, the investigator starship did not move towards the Xinalo star system after leaving the wormhole, but hovered quietly at its original position. Because of this, the response of the Xinalo civilization would take at least thirty seconds to be transmitted to the location of the investigator starship.

Based on his usual habit of flying a starship, he subconsciously glanced at the space-time fluctuation meter displayed on the main console interface.

After shielding the space-time fluctuations caused by the movement of various celestial bodies, a standard straight line appeared on the instrument - after the wormhole disappeared, the surrounding space-time ocean returned to calm again.

"It seems that the Xinalo civilization has not mastered the curvature technology..." Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice.

"drop."

Along with the crisp prompt sound, Yi's voice also sounded in the cockpit: "We have received electromagnetic wave communication from the Xinaluo civilization and are conducting a security check on the information..."

"coming!"

Chen Fan perked up, straightened up and looked at the holographic interface above the main console.

[Dear Human Alliance, please forgive our rudeness. 】

【…】

[Due to the strong space-time fluctuations brought by your starship, we misunderstood your identity. We sincerely apologize to you. ]

[Also, I would like to ask, are you not afraid of attacks from alien life forms when you rashly use such powerful space-time technology? ]

Looking at the words slowly emerging in the holographic interface, Chen Fan frowned immediately.

There are not many words, but the amount of information contained in them is enormous.

"What the Xinaros fear... is not the Investigator Starship, but the wormhole opened by the Investigator Starship!" Chen Fan suddenly understood. His eyes stayed on the last line of the text, and he murmured in a low voice: "Using space-time technology rashly..."

"It seems that the powerful space-time fluctuations are likely to attract attacks from alien life forms." Hongshi added softly, "In addition..."

A trace of confusion flashed across her delicate face: "Looking at these words, why do I feel that the Xinaluo civilization has a very deep understanding of time and space technology?"

Chen Fan nodded repeatedly: "What a coincidence, I feel the same way."

He turned his head and looked at Hongshi, muttering to himself: "If it is true as we speculated... the Xinalo civilization did not use curvature technology perhaps in order to conceal itself?"

"Perhaps, it's not just the Xinalo civilization." Isa, who had remained silent, also interrupted, "The reason why this universe lacks time and space fluctuations... is likely here."

Chen Fan was shocked and his expression suddenly became ugly.

If that's really the case...

Then aren't their previous actions just... lighting a bright bonfire in the pitch-black night? !
What is this called?
Before the investigation officially began, they stepped accurately into a bottomless sinkhole!

maybe……

The so-called alien life form is already on its way? !
"Damn it..." Chen Fan cursed under his breath while informing Wang Jing, who was a hundred light years away, of his guess.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, we can't wait until alien life forms arrive at our doorstep before we start preparing for battle, right?

In the co-pilot seat, Redstone skillfully shut down the warp engine of the Investigator starship - with the help of Isa, she can now skillfully control this human body.

……

The entire journey was speechless.

After the initial apology, the Xinalo civilization fell silent and just quietly led the way for the investigator starship.

——This was reflected as early as the initial communication.

Even though the Human Union was the first advanced civilization encountered by the Xinalo civilization, their desire for communication was still not as strong as that of a normal civilization.

At first, Chen Fan thought that this might be because the Xinaluo civilization was too cautious.
After all, it's the first time dealing with a strange civilization, so I can understand it.

But as time went by, until now, Chen Fan finally realized a problem - silence seemed to be the norm of the Xinalo civilization.

Not to mention the investigator starship, there is very little electromagnetic communication within the Xinalo fleet!
In order not to arouse the resentment of the Xinalo civilization and to better carry out subsequent investigation tasks, Chen Fan suppressed his curiosity and respected this special "custom" of the Xinalo civilization.

More than an hour later.

Amid the flames and discrete gamma rays emitted by the antimatter engine, the Xinalo fleet rearranged its previous array and escorted Chen Fan's investigator starship into this star system surrounded by countless artillery batteries.

As shown in the Ghost Fleet's star map, the internal structure of the Xinalo star system is very similar to the Varela star system in the node universe.

The only difference is that the planet's rotation, revolution and spatial structure show a mirror relationship.

Like Varela, Xinalo is the second planet in this star system.

only……

The level of development of Xinaluo planet is obviously beyond that of Varela planet in the node universe.

In the star field surrounding this rocky planet, starships of various shapes and huge space factories are scattered everywhere.

To be precise, these technological creations are distributed throughout the Xinalo star system. They are close to each other and almost occupy all star regions except the orbits of the planets.

Because of this, the entire Xinaluo galaxy is like a small room filled with all kinds of debris, appearing extremely crowded and messy.

Along the way, Chen Fan frowned and looked at the large mechanical equipment that were still working, and shook his head secretly.

The resources controlled by the Xinaluo civilization are indeed quite abundant, but this space planning...

It’s really a bit bad!
To exaggerate a bit, if the Xinalo civilization had not sent out a fleet to guide the way, the ship's main brain would probably have had to send out corresponding detectors to find a way to the Xinalo planet among these messy mechanical equipment!
"This is so abnormal."

"As an interstellar civilization, why should we restrict our activities to this tiny star system?"

Let’s not talk about far away places, let’s just talk about the area around the Xinaluo star system.

Why not transport these mechanical devices into the vast interstellar space around us?

That would free up a lot of space for the Xinaluo star system!

"It's a bit strange indeed." As soon as Chen Fan's questioning voice fell, Hongshi reached out and called up a holographic interface. "I just used the smart terminal to roughly estimate the total amount of these mechanical equipment."

"Calculations show that if all mechanical equipment is included, the total mass of the Xinaluo star system is thousands of times that of the Varela star system!"

Chen Fan was startled and exclaimed in surprise: "There are so many?!"

"yes……"

Hongshi shook his head slightly, and the long, slightly curly blood-red hair hanging in front of his chest also swayed: "I really don't know where these Xinaluo people got so many supplies from..."
