Chapter 472 Top Predator

In the secret room.

Chen Fan's face was a little solemn.

With the "historical rearview mirror", he had already anticipated the encounter of the Xinaluo expedition fleet - it was likely that this fleet would encounter the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion.

But even so, he did not expect that the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion would appear in front of the expedition fleet in such a short time!

More importantly.

Before the expedition fleet encountered the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion, the Light Stone Broadcasting Array also received an unknown signal fluctuation!

This is a bit intriguing.

"Do you think those giant scorpions were found by the Light Stone Broadcasting Array?"

Wang Jing's voice came from the communication link.

Like Chen Fan, the first time she saw the log record, she focused on the so-called unknown civilization signal.

Facing Wang Jing's question, Chen Fan quickly nodded in affirmation.

Is there any need to ask this?

From the completion of the Light Stone Broadcasting Array to the unknown civilization signal, there was only a five-year interval, and the giant scorpion appeared in the next galaxy...

How can there be so many coincidences in this world?

"There is indeed a certain possibility."

To Chen Fan's surprise, Wang Jing showed some hesitation on her face: "But... there is still a problem."

"Perhaps the light stone broadcast array has a certain attraction to the giant scorpions, but I don't think the signals received by the light stone broadcast array are sent by these giant scorpions."

"What?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised.

"Light stone broadcast array." Wang Jing raised her hand and tapped the reading interface in front of Chen Fan. "The attachment of the log contains the basic architecture diagram of the light stone broadcast array. I just took a quick look."

"This so-called light stone broadcast array, to put it bluntly, is actually an enlarged version of the previous resonance circuit."

"Although it has not been actually tested, in theory, it does not have a directional receiving and sending function."

"Simply put, when sending a message, it is a loudspeaker, and when receiving a message, it is a hearing aid without any filtering function."

Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly.

He probably knew what Wang Jing wanted to say.

"I briefly checked the files of the Dangerous Technology Administration." Wang Jing raised her hand and gently supported her chin, and added with interest, "Then I found a very interesting phenomenon."

"In the years when the light stone broadcast array received unknown signals, there was a small-scale outbreak of dangerous incidents handled by the Dangerous Technology Administration."

"We didn't know the reason at the time, but now it seems that it is very likely that the broadcasting civilization was behind it."

"What you mean is..." Chen Fan glanced at the reading interface with a strange look on his face, "The light stone broadcast array of the Xinalo civilization accidentally received the high-dimensional broadcast of the broadcasting civilization?"

"It's just a possibility."

Wang Jing shrugged: "At least, I think the probability of the giant scorpion sending out information broadcasts is not high."

"In other words, the source of that information is at least not the giant scorpion in this universe."

"Not the giant scorpion in this universe?" Chen Fan asked back subconsciously, "How do you know?"

"It's very simple."

Wang Jing's expression became a little more serious: "If the giant scorpion at that time had the ability to broadcast information, then we should have encountered the giant scorpion that mastered the information interference technology a long time ago, and the Xinalo civilization would not have been able to last so long."

"But the fact is..."

"Until now, the giant scorpion that has mastered information interference is still in the incubation state, and it will even take a long time to hatch normally."

"Not only that."

"From the time the Xinaluo expedition fleet encountered the first giant scorpion, to the time when the giant scorpion attacked the Xinaluo mother planet, and finally to the current huge scorpion group, these giant scorpions have actually been in the process of evolution."

Wang Jing frowned even deeper: "This phenomenon... is a bit too strange."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind:

"Do these giant scorpions have to evolve again every time they enter an unknown universe?"

Chen Fan's pupils dilated slightly, as if he remembered something: "If this is the case, then the information disturbance circuit inside the incubation tower should be used to promote the evolution of the giant scorpion?"

On the other side.

Listening to the discussion between Chen Fan and Wang Jing, Ophelia's face was a little pale, and the fluorescence on the surface of her body flickered.

Obviously.

Not only this log from hundreds of years ago, but also the conversation between Chen Fan and Wang Jing brought her great shock.

[How could it be, how could it be like this...]

Ophelia kept shaking her head, as if she didn't believe the log she saw: [Violet calendar 75 years... These starry sky giant scorpions appeared so early! ]

[Then, why didn't Queen Violet take any defensive measures? ! ]

[There were 253 years in between! ! ]

Ophelia slowly closed her eyes, her pale lips trembling slightly, [If Violet prepared for war in advance, the Xinaluo civilization might not be forced to leave its home planet, if Violet...]

"Queen Ophelia." Noticing Ophelia's somewhat out-of-control emotional fluctuations, Chen Fan frowned and quickly interrupted her words, "The situation is not yet determined, maybe Queen Violet also has her own difficulties."

Ophelia did not speak and fell into silence again.

Chen Fan hesitated to speak, and finally reluctantly turned his eyes to the log information just now.

He needed to trace the truth about the starry sky giant scorpion from this log as soon as possible.

...

Violet calendar year 75.

The discovery of alien life forms did not bring us much joy.

Quite the opposite.

On the day when the expedition fleet sent back the report, a considerable degree of panic broke out in the royal family and the research institute.

Although the expedition fleet had not yet come into direct contact with the giant creature, the images sent back by the detector still frightened the researchers who were pursuing alien civilizations all day long - there was no way, it was too different from the aliens we expected.

Many researchers even advised me not to let the expedition fleet come into contact with the giant creature.

They believed that the body structure of the creature destined the other party to be a top predator. If they came into contact rashly, it would likely bring disaster to the Xinaluo civilization.

What a joke.

The current Xinaluo civilization has such a powerful warship and a "sky blade" that can pierce through space. It's just a small insect. How could it bring disaster to the Xinaluo civilization? Even if

the

opponent's strength is very strong, strong enough to withstand the damage of the "sky blade"...

that is also an opportunity for the Xinaluo civilization!

We may be able to find the direction of scientific and technological progress from it! !

Furthermore...

if I give up the opportunity in front of me, how should I explain to my people in the future? !

Anyway, I decided to let the expedition fleet try to contact the other party.

...

Violet calendar year 75.

The first contact was not very effective.

Before the formal contact, the expedition fleet followed the requirements of the institute and contacted it with electromagnetic waves, tachyon broadcasts and light stone broadcasts in turn, trying to establish a stable communication link with the other party.

According to the report of the expedition fleet, the other party did not show much interest in electromagnetic waves and tachyon broadcasts.

When the expedition fleet sent a light stone broadcast to it, it finally responded, but...

this reaction was somewhat different from what we expected.

As the light stone broadcast was sent, the other party immediately attacked the detector that sent the broadcast.

After destroying the detector, it quickly entered the curvature state and attacked the expedition fleet docked outside this star system.

Yes, curvature state, you read it right.

A creature can not only travel through the universe in the flesh, but can even enter the curvature state in the flesh!

This is incredible! !

Those researchers were right. That giant creature that was more than ten meters long should be the top predator in the universe. It feeds on metal ores in asteroids. The deep pits we saw at the beginning were actually traces left by it during its feeding process!

Because it showed a strong desire to attack and destroy the expedition fleet, and even destroyed a small shuttle, the expedition fleet was forced to fight back and completely killed it outside the star system.

Although the first contact with alien life failed, the expedition fleet harvested the body of an alien creature.

It was also good news.

At least...

I can explain it to the Xinaluo civilization.

However, those researchers believed that this was not a simple desire to attack, and the other party was more likely to regard the Xinaluo expedition fleet as prey.

This conjecture was a bit scary.

Therefore, I did not make this discovery public at the first time, but temporarily sealed it.

As for the body of the giant life form, it was also temporarily kept by the expedition fleet.

...

In the same year.

Researchers in the expedition fleet sent a report on the giant life form. The

results of the report were very shocking.

First of all, the surface of this creature is covered with a layer of armor made of dense materials.

No wonder it can collide head-on with the Xinaluo expedition fleet!

Secondly, the researchers of the expedition fleet also detected an unknown residual trace of energy in the body of this creature. The test results show that this energy is much more advanced than the antimatter used by the Xinaluo civilization.

Its energy density is greater, and it will produce a very powerful explosion after contacting the vacuum.

The Royal Research Institute conducted a comprehensive analysis of these data and finally came up with an answer-it is very likely a kind of matter that we have been looking for but have never found.

Dark matter.

As I said before.

This powerful creature has guided the next research direction for the Xinaluo civilization.

If the opponent's energy system can be studied, the territory of the Xinaluo civilization may be expanded again, and the decline of civilization will become a thing of the past.

Of course, the Royal Research Institute is not so optimistic-because the body of the creature is not complete and the energy inside its body is almost dissipated, so they can't get much research results from it. At best, they just get a fresh research direction.

But I don't think so.

I don't believe there is only one such creature in this star field.

As long as we encounter another creature of the same kind and capture it...

the research institute will surely be able to study something from its body!
