Chapter 366: Self-defeating

The light of the jump slowly dissipated, and the scene in front of him quietly changed.

A familiar standard-sized office building appeared in front of Chen Fan, and Li Teer's words just now flashed through his mind again.

"Dangerous technology explosion..."

Chen Fan frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.

Looking at the core office building of the Administration as usual, he suppressed his uneasiness, sorted out his mood, and walked into the building.

As soon as he entered the office building, Chen Fan keenly noticed something strange.

In stark contrast to the previous relaxed and calm atmosphere, at this moment, the atmosphere in this office building clearly revealed a bit of depression and anxiety.

Several researchers in white robes walked hurriedly from a distance.

"A cloning crisis broke out in the EL1013793 universe?"

The leading researcher waved his hand hurriedly: "The danger of cloning technology is not high, so we can put it aside for a while."

"First send people to solve the black hole crisis in the EL749361 universe. According to the information reported by the investigators, a considerable number of large-scale black holes suddenly appeared in that universe bubble. Hundreds of civilizations have already perished. We must deal with it as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, another researcher interrupted him: "It's not a cloning crisis of a single civilization. Investigators have reported that in the EL1013793 universe, almost all civilizations below level three have started to study cloning technology at the same time!"

"So far, more than 4,600 civilizations have simultaneously erupted in the crisis of clone rebellion."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between these researchers, Chen Fan felt his eyelids jump slightly.

Li Teer was right.

All kinds of dangerous technologies are erupting throughout the pan-universe.

Although the danger of these dangerous technologies is not high, they have a wide coverage area! !

It can be said that they win by quantity.

He quickened his pace again, walked past the researchers, and headed for an office deep inside the office building.

…

“Come in.”

Song Ziliang’s voice came from the tightly closed office door.

“Academician Song, something happened, the ghost fleet appeared again…”

As soon as he pushed open the office door, Chen Fan’s eyes flashed with astonishment: “Academician Wang, Director Mo, why are you here too…”

As he spoke, he subconsciously took a half step back, ready to close the door again.

“Don’t go.”

Wang Jing stared at Chen Fan with a haggard look: “Director Mo and I are waiting for you.”

The moment he looked into Wang Jing’s eyes, Chen Fan felt his heart jump.

He asked in a hoarse voice: “…High-dimensional signal reverse tracing device?”

“Yes.” Wang Jing gave an affirmative answer, “As for the reason…you should have heard the news when you came, right?”

Chen Fan nodded silently: “In the human-connected pan-universe, all kinds of dangerous technologies are erupting.”

“Is this…the work of broadcast civilization?”

“Yes and no.”

Moore’s steady voice came from the side.

Chen Fan looked at Moore in confusion: "Chief, what do you mean..."

"Wait a minute, let's talk about the ghost fleet you mentioned just now." Song Ziliang interrupted Chen Fan anxiously, "You encountered a ghost fleet again? What happened?"

"Yes." Chen Fan temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart and reported to the three people in front of him on the progress of the investigation into [Su Zheng] and the strangers, as well as the ghost fleet.

"... [Suzheng], that is, the crisis of artificial intelligence has been resolved, but I am a little worried now."

Under the gaze of the two academicians and the director of the Administration, Chen Fan hesitated again and again: "The strangers mentioned in [Suzheng], will they correspond to the second line of the lyrics of the ghost song?"

"Invasion from foreign lands..." Song Ziliang's face changed slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "Appearing in every corner of the starry sky?"

"Yes." Chen Fan nodded solemnly, "I didn't think of this at first."

"But when I entered the star gate wormhole, the ghost fleet suddenly appeared, which reminded me of this situation." Chen Fan pondered for a moment and continued, "In addition, I have a feeling that the target of the ghost fleet... seems to be me."

After this, Song Ziliang's office fell into complete silence.

A moment.

"Trouble..."

Song Ziliang sighed: "These troubles really appear one after another..."

As he said, he turned his head and looked at Moore on the side: "Director, let's talk about your business first."

"Strangers and ghost fleets... Academician Wang Jing and I will communicate with the Academy of Sciences later on this matter."

"Okay."

Moore stretched out his hand and rubbed his stiff face vigorously, then stood up from his seat.

He waved his hand in the air casually: "Zero, put out the pan-universe star map."

As soon as the voice fell, a huge star map appeared in front of everyone.

The hyperspace membrane and dense cosmic bubbles were clearly presented in this high-dimensional star map.

Among them, a red area caught Chen Fan's attention - in the center of the area, there was an abnormal cosmic bubble marked in bright red. Unlike other cosmic bubbles, this cosmic bubble was deeply trapped in the hyperspace membrane.

Chen Fan was shocked and blurted out: "Is this the EL13697101 universe?"

Moore nodded and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the red area of ​​the high-dimensional star map.

Swish!

The picture changed quietly, and the originally abbreviated high-dimensional star map instantly showed more details - with EL13697101 as the origin, the red area gradually radiated to the surroundings. The closer to the EL13697101 universe, the darker the color. On the contrary, the farther away, the lighter the color, until it completely dissipated.

"The Administration has comprehensively counted the universe bubbles that have exploded with dangerous technologies in recent times. The results are obvious. The closer to the EL13697101 universe bubble, the higher the frequency of the explosion of dangerous technologies and the greater the danger of dangerous technologies."

Moore's steady voice continued: "In the subsequent investigation, the investigators found some interesting phenomena in these universes."

"In some civilizations involving dangerous technologies, the investigators found a situation similar to the Varela civilization - some inspirations related to dangerous technologies flashed through the minds of researchers without warning. These inspirations prompted them to conduct research on various dangerous technologies. As the research deepened, these inspirations would gradually evolve into vague murmurs."

"High-dimensional resonance?!" Chen Fan was shocked and his face looked ugly.

For researchers engaged in scientific research, the importance of inspiration and intuition is unquestionable.

Sometimes, it can even dominate the development direction of a research project!

Because of this, it was once regarded as a gift from God!

But now...

under the interference of broadcast civilization, these inspirations and intuitions have become the whispers of the devil!

Chen Fan spoke again: "Director, I assure you that this is the means of broadcasting civilization!"

"Don't worry." Moore interrupted Chen Fan's words, "After in-depth investigation, the investigators found that this is only the case for a small number of civilizations."

"Most civilizations involved in dangerous technology are not actually affected by broadcasting civilization."

"This..." Chen Fan couldn't help but frowned, "What is the reason?"

"The herd effect, or regional cooperation or something like that." Song Ziliang sighed and explained in a low voice, "Simply put, these civilizations communicate with each other, allowing dangerous technology to spread rapidly like a virus." "

The most ironic thing is that this pan-universe civilization system of mutual cooperation among interstellar civilizations was created by the Human Union for tens of thousands of years." "

From this perspective, if there is no Human Union, the intensity of the outbreak of dangerous technology may drop by several orders of magnitude."

Looking at Song Ziliang's helpless smile, Chen Fan opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while.

What is this?

Wrapping oneself in a cocoon?

But when the Human Union first started to build this civilization cooperation and win-win system, it had never encountered the current situation!

"This is a targeted attack on the Human Union." Moore concluded in a deep voice, "Although we don't know how the enemy did it, they do know the situation inside the Human Union very well!"

"Combining all the above information, the Administration has made certain judgments on the situation of the Broadcasting Civilization."

"First."

"The EL13697101 universe you are in is undoubtedly the core disaster area. Correspondingly, considering the special properties of the EL13697101 universe, we believe that in the strategy of the Broadcasting Civilization, the EL136397101 universe should be a key node."

"Secondly."

"We speculate that the technology for the Broadcasting Civilization to initiate high-dimensional resonance is still immature, or that there are some unknown restrictions on high-dimensional resonance."

"Because of this, the Broadcasting Civilization needs to rely on the pan-universe civilization system created by the Human Union to spread dangerous technology."

"In addition, the information state pollution phenomenon discovered in the TE913 research ship and the EL13697101 universe did not appear on a large scale in the surrounding cosmic bubbles. Even the closest few cosmic bubbles only showed extremely slight information state pollution."

"Therefore, even though the Broadcasting Civilization is stronger than the Human Union, its strength is limited."

Chen Fan nodded suddenly.

Director Moore is right, everything has two sides. The broadcasting civilization uses the pan-universe civilization system to spread dangerous technology, which just exposes the opponent's weakness. If the opponent really has the ability, they can just cover the entire human union pan-universe with high-dimensional resonance and information state pollution indiscriminately. In this way, the human union has no ability to fight against it at all!

"In response to this, the Academy of Sciences and the Administration have formulated a corresponding two-line combat strategy."

"The first combat line is under the charge of the Administration. The investigators will unite with all the affiliated civilizations of the Human Union to do their utmost to block the spread of dangerous technology, and at the same time deal with the many civilizations affected by dangerous technology."

"The second combat line." Moore turned around abruptly and looked at Chen Fan with burning eyes. "It was proposed by the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences to reversely trace the broadcasting civilization with the EL13697101 universe and investigator Chen Fan as the core."

"General against general, king against king."

"The main civilization of the Human Union will personally deal with the war and invasion of the broadcasting civilization."

"In the second combat line, you are the real core." Moore took a deep breath, "The reason is very simple."

"So far, you are the only one who can truly withstand high-dimensional resonance and information state pollution."

"This is also the reason why Academician Wang Jing asked you to come to the Administration as soon as possible to conduct a high-dimensional signal reverse tracing experiment."

"War..."

Moore looked at Chen Fan meaningfully: "It has already begun."
