Beneath Deep Space

"Perhaps, the probability of Gaia's life developing self-awareness is only one in 100 million, or even lower..."

"For a highly intelligent interstellar civilization, the center of the Milky Way is the main area of ​​flying activity. There will definitely be no advanced beings who are willing to squat on this remote and boring planet to gain a one-in-a-billion chance!"

"So, they just lost an unmanned spacecraft and continued to explore the galaxy... to explore the next valuable planet."

Yu Yifeng drew a few lines on the screen and wrote a series of words on the lines to sort out the entire logic of the incident.

"Thirty thousand years is also a long time for an interstellar civilization. We can boldly speculate that this fleet has traveled to a relatively remote area... Of course, we cannot rule out that there is a small fleet or other life forms nearby... …”

"I remembered!"

Wang Yufan from the Propaganda Department suddenly said: "Similar to our earth, there are actually such suspicious things... For example, the Black Knight satellite caused a big stir at the time. It is said to be an artificial satellite that has existed for 13,000 years!"

"There are also various UFO legends... The planet Dige 114 is not far from the earth. Perhaps this alien civilization has visited the earth?"

This conjecture aroused people's whispers.

Yu Yifeng nodded, and continued: "Okay everyone, there is no way to verify the earth's affairs, so let's not talk about it for now. But on this planet, the next development of things exceeds the aliens' expectations... …This algae collective life, through various coincidences and accidents, actually gave birth to self-awareness more than ten years ago!”

"So the artificial intelligence of the flying saucer judged that this information was too important and needed to be transmitted back to the mother ship as soon as possible! It flew away directly and wanted to notify its mother ship through curvature navigation at faster than light speed!"

As a result, during this gap period, the most dramatic scene happened...

Another L2-level interstellar civilization, the New Human Civilization, unexpectedly came to this planet and discovered the equally valuable Gaia life... and also wanted to capture it!

"What is this, cutting off the Hu?"

"If you cut this Hu, you will definitely face the huge hatred of alien civilization!"

"...Even if we don't cut off the hair, the other party will attack us, right? This is a huge benefit. If we don't investigate at close range, the other party won't know whether we took Gaia away..."

This is the biggest dilemma people face now. No matter whether they run away or continue to arrest, as long as the other party observes humans, they will definitely attack! This is almost a sure thing!

"Okay, okay, do you have anything else to add to the details? Take a look, this is a star road map centered on our star..." Yu Yifeng spoke very quickly, trying to keep his words short.

His heart was still beating rapidly. In fact, the analysis of these things did not help the current predicament, but only comforted everyone based on probability.

But whether this probability is high or low, who knows?

It will take a long time to capture Gaia's creatures. Maybe the crisis... will come at the next moment!

Under the operation of a technician, a 3D image instantly appeared on the desktop, which was an image of major stars near the planet Dige 114.

There are only 4 stars within 10 light years; but there are 38 stars within 20 light years; and 212 stars within 50 light years!

"These are all stars above red dwarfs. If you include brown dwarfs, the actual number is much higher than these. The key is... we don't know where the other side's fleet stays or which planet it sets off from..."

"It would be nice if we had the other party's coordinates."

An astronomer frowned and said: "In 12 years, with a curvature of 3 times the speed of light as the lower limit and 10 times as the upper limit, the dangerous distance is almost 60 light-years to stars..."

Because we don’t know the opponent’s technological level or the opponent’s curvature navigation speed, we can only make a rough estimate. Generally speaking, an L3-level interstellar civilization can reach a curvature navigation speed of about 10 times the speed of light. L4 is of course faster, like Hei’s civilization, it can reach 20 times...

After calculation, people found that there must be at least 300 stars within 60 light years.

This can be fatal. People don't know which planet the other side's fleet sets off from, because every star looks the same!

nervous……

Everyone is still very nervous, so it seems that running away is still the best choice!

If a small flying saucer with a diameter of 200 meters really has the means of curvature navigation, then... the technology of this civilization is definitely much higher than that of humans, because it at least has small nuclear fusion technology, which is the L3 level!

If a war really breaks out, the probability of human victory is extremely low, and the foundation of new human civilization is still too poor!

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across Dr. Rimbaud's mind, and he suddenly thought of something important.

He shouted excitedly: "Yes... it's wrong, it's all wrong! I found... the logic of our fear is wrong!"

"A strike at the speed of light is impossible! Because we have not observed the other party's spacecraft at all, whether it is a gravitational wave telescope or a radio telescope... we have not detected the other party at all!"

"In other words, the other party is probably not out of the state of super-light navigation, or the other party's image has not been transmitted through light! Think about it, it is impossible to observe the outside world when traveling at a curvature that exceeds the speed of light. That's it. Bar?"

A scientist understood the subtext of Dr. Rimbaud. He was stunned and immediately replied loudly: "Yes, absolutely! Curvature navigation beyond the speed of light... it is absolutely impossible to obtain external information, no matter how advanced the technology is, This is an inherent flaw in curvature navigation technology!”

The scientist was trembling with excitement, as if he was suddenly freed from the crisis. Even Yu Yifeng's heart suddenly moved!

"That's right!"

Rimbaud jumped up excitedly, feeling that every cell in his body suddenly relaxed: "All the fears we have are caused by ourselves. We scare ourselves! We thought we would be hit by the speed of light, but in fact? The other party doesn’t even know we exist!”

"Think about it, is this true? They are in the curvature bubble, unable to observe the outside world at all, and they are still rushing to this planet with great interest, hoping to capture Gaia!"

"There is no information to let them know that a new human civilization came over during this gap period. It was our own misunderstanding! This is the universe, and the huge distance will cause a huge delay!"

Rimbaud's words instantly awakened everyone. All the smart people present quickly figured out the key, and everyone was gearing up, feeling a wonderful pleasure of escaping from death.
