Chapter 569 Welcome to join us

Wang Jing's calm and intellectual voice echoed in the huge laboratory. With the help of the adaptive sound amplification function of the central brain of the experimental building, her voice did not attenuate at all and fell into the ears of everyone in the laboratory with great clarity.

For this statement that was enough to shock the entire human union, the other biological academicians in the laboratory did not show any intense reaction. Everyone was busy with their own research projects without even raising their heads.

The same was true for Chief Lu and Ling standing next to Wang Jing. They just looked at Chen Fan calmly.

Only Chen Fan let out a small exclamation when he heard Wang Jing's statement.

"...What the hell?!"

Looking at the scene where a group of academicians raised their heads because of his exclamation, Chen Fan hurriedly lowered his voice: "Radio civilization...is right next to us?!"

As he spoke, he turned his body to look at the space around him, trying to see something from all around.

"Correction, it's the information flow coordinates of the broadcasting civilization, not the broadcasting civilization."

"In addition, these coordinate signals will only appear in the surrounding space when high-dimensional broadcasts are released."

Wang Jing shook her head: "At present... at least in our detection, these coordinate signals will not be revealed at ordinary times."

Chen Fan nodded as if he had realized something.

"So..."

"Is there any connection between this and the question you asked earlier?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, trying to overturn Wang Jing's previous shocking and outrageous theory: "Even if the coordinate signals of the broadcasting civilization appear inside the pan-universe, it doesn't seem to prove that they are my kind?" "

This has to do with the diffusion and transmission methods of the information flow."

Without waiting for Wang Jing to speak, Chief Lu, who was silently acting as a spectator, stepped forward half a step: "According to the current research results of the Academy of Sciences, the transmission process of information flow is somewhat similar to electromagnetic waves."

"In the absence of any external interference, the information flow will propagate in a straight line. Due to the dissipation effect of the information flow, the intensity will also continue to decay during its propagation."

"You should understand now?"

Chen Fan looked at Chief Lu blankly.

Understand?

What should he understand?

Although he understood every word, even the whole sentence, he still didn't understand the deep meaning behind Chief Lu's words.

Just like ripe apples fall to the ground, gurgling streams also flow to the direction of low terrain.

Information flow propagates in a straight line, and its intensity decays during the propagation process. In Chen Fan's view, the law Chief Lu mentioned is just the most basic common sense - he discovered this phenomenon as soon as he learned to control the information flow.

It's just that these two laws are too common, so he didn't take them to heart.

"I..."

Chen Fan scratched his head, and couldn't say a word after a long time.

He really couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in these two common sense laws.

"Chief, Chen Fan is not a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences." Wang Jing chuckled and took over the conversation, "Your explanation won't work."

She raised her hand and casually called up a brand new holographic image, and opened two completely identical pan-universe star maps in it.

In Chen Fan's confused eyes, Wang Jing first "dragged" out the first star map.

"Based on the two signal reverse tracing experiments, we found that during the high-dimensional broadcasting process, the information flow intensity in the pan-universe is basically in a uniform state."

"In the simplest terms, whether it is the frontier universe or the main universe, the detected information flow intensity is actually consistent."

Chen Fan frowned, vaguely aware of some problems, but for a moment he didn't know how to express it, as if a thin window paper covered the world in front of him.

"Information flow attenuation."

Wang Jing reminded softly.

"!!!"

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and Wang Jing's reminder directly broke through this layer of window paper that seemed to exist and not exist.

"I understand, you mean... the broadcasting civilization has buried a large number of information flow signal sources in the pan-universe?"

He excitedly said the flash of inspiration in his mind: "So there will be no intensity attenuation?"

"Half right."

Wang Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then gently tapped the holographic star map in front of him with his right index finger.

Swish!

Dense and neatly arranged bright red dots suddenly appeared on the originally abbreviated pan-universe star map.

"This is the broadcast model that the Academy of Sciences established at the beginning." Wang Jing's voice continued to come, "Just like you said, as long as the number of signal sources is large enough, the problem of attenuation of information flow intensity will naturally be solved."

"But this cannot explain another phenomenon."

"In subsequent experiments, whenever the high-dimensional broadcast stops, the 'signal source' traced back will disappear in the starry sky without any signs."

"The Academy of Sciences has conducted several investigations in the main universe and its surrounding areas, but none of these so-called 'signal sources' have been found."

"Theoretically, if the 'signal source' really exists and can release such a powerful information flow, it is absolutely impossible for it to have such a powerful concealment performance."

"So..."

"We proposed a second model."

As she spoke, Wang Jing waved to the side, and the second holographic star map that had been prepared earlier floated in front of her.

"The hyperspace membrane is an infinitely extended curled net, you should know this."

Seeing Chen Fan nod, Wang Jing clicked on the holographic star map that had been zoomed to the extreme again.

Wow...

The camera zoomed away quickly.

The hyperspace membrane, which was originally huge and contained countless universes, shrunk silently into a real "membrane".

"This..." Facing this never-before-seen perspective, Chen Fan's pupils quickly dilated.

"Although I don't want to admit it, in the hypothetical model of the Academy of Sciences, compared with the nothingness outside the natural order field, the hyperspace membrane is actually an inconspicuous membrane."

Wang Jing's index finger gently tapped the gray space outside the hyperspace membrane: "If the real signal source is placed in the nothingness outside the membrane, and a sufficiently strong information flow is released to the hyperspace membrane in the form of a dot matrix or scattering, what do you think will happen?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan already understood.

"If the distance between the signal source and the hyperspace membrane is far enough..."

He swallowed and answered in a low voice: "The scale of the hyperspace membrane itself can be almost ignored."

"Correct."

Wang Jing shrugged: "This is the second model proposed by the Academy of Sciences. It can perfectly explain the phenomenon of the inexplicable disappearance of the signal source after the high-dimensional broadcast."

"At the beginning, this model was not recognized.

" "After all, it involves nothingness.

" "According to the past theories of the Human Union, it is impossible for life forms to exist in nothingness, let alone such a powerful civilization."

"But now it seems..." Wang Jing looked at Chen Fan meaningfully, "This unrecognized model is actually the most likely."

Chen Fan fell silent, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Everything matched his previous description-

There is no concept of space and time. To put it bluntly, isn't this a typical feature of nothingness?

Combined with the high-dimensional broadcast model, isn't the information flow life form that survives in it a broadcast civilization?

As for him who enjoyed the "sacrificial" ceremony and even successfully survived it...

Isn't he a traitor from the broadcast civilization!

Not to mention Wang Jing and other academicians, at this moment, even Chen Fan himself began to doubt his identity.

"Let's talk about the advent of broadcast civilization in the pan-universe."

Wang Jing said in a calm tone: "Do you still remember the ghost song of the ghost fleet?"

Chen Fan was startled and looked up at Wang Jing.

"The dancing machinery refers to the artificial intelligence [Suzheng], and the invasion of the foreign land should refer to the Apophis giant scorpion."

Wang Jing continued: "I have reason to suspect that the undetectable dead spirits refer to the broadcast civilization."

That's right.

In the description of the ghost song, those dead spirits linger around each civilization, which just corresponds to the information flow broadcast that surrounds the entire pan-universe...even the entire hyperspace membrane!

Chen Fan's face was a little ugly: "The final destruction that will come..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Broadcasting Civilization." Chief Lu interrupted the conversation again, "At present, only the Broadcasting Civilization can have such strength."

Hearing this, Chen Fan felt bitter in his heart.

Yes.

The evidence is as strong as a mountain.

Judging from the current situation, in order to prevent future troubles, even if the Human Union wiped him out on the spot, he had nothing to defend - if it were him, in order to ensure the safety of countless civilizations in the Human Union, he would also make such a decision.

After all...

before the crisis that affected countless civilizations, "it is better to kill by mistake than to let go" is the absolute truth.

Facing the scrutinizing eyes cast by Wang Jing and others, Chen Fan took a deep breath.

"I don't know what the relationship between me and the Broadcasting Civilization is."

"I only know one thing."

"Before crossing, I was a human on Blue Star; after crossing, I was an investigator of the Human Union Dangerous Technology Management Bureau."

Chen Fan said word by word: "No matter which identity, I am a life living on the hyperspace membrane."

After the voice fell, Chief Lu's face was the first to smile.

He nodded cheerfully to Chen Fan and extended his right hand to him: "Let me introduce myself again. I am the chief academician of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, Lv Yongchang."

As soon as the words fell, the holographic projection constructed by light solidified at an extremely fast speed and briefly formed a touchable entity.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Chief Lv's right hand: "I am..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said in a firm tone: "The third type of life form of the hyperspace membrane, Chen Fan."

The moment the two hands shook, Chief Lv's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"On behalf of the Human Union, I welcome you to join."

"Sir Chen Fan."

...

The next day.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

When Chen Fan was assisting various experiments based on information flow in the laboratory, a strange alarm sound that had never been heard before echoed over the entire Academy of Sciences without warning.

"Oh my..."

Chen Fan's heart trembled, and the carefully controlled trace of information flow was like a fragile spider silk, lightly breaking in front of his eyes.

Several prompt messages quickly popped up on the holographic interface - the information flow was broken, and the experiment was naturally declared a failure.

But Wang Jing, the person in charge of the experiment, didn't care about the failure of the experiment at all.

She raised her head and looked at the porthole on the side of the laboratory with a somewhat ugly expression.

Through the porthole, you can vaguely see several large starships flashing over the sky of the Academy of Sciences, and finally disappearing in the bright and crowded starry sky around.

Not only Wang Jing, but the other academicians in the laboratory also subconsciously stopped their actions and looked at the starry sky outside the porthole with worry.

"This..."

With such a scene, Chen Fan naturally had some guesses in his heart: "What happened?"

Wang Jing murmured in a low voice: "This is a warning signal for the first-level combat readiness state."

"The Apophis giant scorpion in the EL13685003 universe may have broken free from the event horizon."

She paused and said: "...the war broke out."

As expected.

The moment Wang Jing finished speaking, a series of holographic interfaces automatically popped up in front of everyone, and began to scroll and broadcast the battle situation of Universe EL13685003.

...

Universe EL13685003.

Although small, it has everything.

Although this is only a small universe bubble, and there is only one and a half galaxies inside it, it still belongs to a standard independent universe. Therefore, it has all the macroscopic structures and civilization levels that a large universe should have. Half a year ago, from star systems to galaxies, from the first-level civilization that had just entered the interstellar to the seventh-level civilization that dominated the galaxy, this small universe bubble seemed to have a unique micro-system.

However...

today, half a year later, this universe seems unusually empty.

Almost all star systems have disappeared, except for some large-scale stars that were left in place, and only a series of ferocious warships were left in the starry sky, ready for battle.

The star system is gone, and the galaxy formed by the star system is naturally gone.

All materials were recycled and processed, forming a series of fully functional interstellar military factories in the starry sky.

As for civilization...

from level one to level seven, all local civilizations were relocated to other safe cosmic bubbles. Even those inferior civilizations that had not yet left their home planets and had not yet been promoted to level one were packed up and sent away from this cosmic bubble along with their home planets.

Near the central black hole.

The black hole accretion disk emits a warm orange-red light, reflecting on countless warships with hideous appearances, bringing out a faint cold light.

Inside the accretion disk, the event horizon structure that should have been round and integrated has become a little "incomplete" - gray shadows continuously float from the inside of the event horizon to the edge of the event horizon, and then struggle to rush to the starry sky outside the event horizon.

As time passed, those gray shadows gradually became three-dimensional, and the gray on their surface gradually faded, revealing their true appearance.

One by one, the giant scorpions of the sky were comparable to the red and blue super giants, and their scarlet eyes were filled with the desire for destruction and destruction! !

Boom! ! !

A brilliant stream of light shot out from a Titan mothership, mercilessly tearing apart the orange-red black hole accretion disk, and shot towards the giant scorpion that was roaring to the sky! !

Like a flare, at the moment when the stream of light tore through the accretion disk, countless streams of light whizzed out from the surrounding fleets, hitting the central black hole like a storm!

The war officially began!
