Looking at the four large characters on the monitor in front of him, Bai Yixuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He opened his mouth, and asked with difficulty, "Professor..."

What content did you send?

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the porthole next to him.

Looking out the porthole at the lifeless, silvery-white moon and the pitch-black universe, his body trembled slightly.

At that moment, he even had the feeling that he was being watched by some terrifying being!

Bai Yixuan's five teammates were also terrified.

This phrase, "Hello, human," looks absolutely terrifying.

Especially after Proxima Centauri sent a message to Earth, it was like dancing on everyone's tense nerves!

In just a second or two, the six people on the moon had already contemplated the fate of human civilization.

"What?"

Lu Yongchang's voice came through, filled with doubt and confusion: "Hello, human, isn't that what you mean by those four words?"

In an instant, Bai Yixuan felt his taut nerves snap.

"Professor, could you explain why you chose to post those four words..."

"Do you know how many misunderstandings this kind of address can cause?!"

Even Bai Yixuan couldn't help but complain into the radio, "I even thought an advanced civilization had come knocking on our door!"

Upon hearing Bai Yixuan's complaint, Lü Yongchang, who was in the command center, had a strange look on his face.

Faced with the strange looks from the researchers around him, he chuckled and began to explain.

"Actually, I originally wanted to post 'hello world'."

"Since the Human Alliance has already been established, I chose the four characters 'Hello Humanity'..."

As he spoke, Lü Yongchang's voice gradually weakened.

Clearly, he was aware of the misunderstanding his words would cause.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, immediately changing the subject, "So, when did you receive the message?"

"About one second before your voice came out," Bai Yixuan answered honestly. "According to Yi's data, the exact time should be 1.26 seconds."

The moment Bai Yixuan's voice fell over the radio, a round of applause erupted in the laboratory.

Looking at Old Tang's smiling face, Lü Yongchang also showed a gratified smile.

It was a success!

At this moment, the ultra-long-range communication technology, symbolizing the pinnacle of technology in a first-class civilization, was firmly grasped by humankind!

...

Meanwhile, in the central region of the Milky Way.

An artificial planet rests quietly in the boundless universe.

Unlike ordinary planets, this mechanical planet has no rotation, no revolution, and no tilt.

If you were to pass by this planet, you wouldn't even feel any gravitational pull!

It's as if this planet is just a phantom image!

It remained quietly in the vast universe, displaying its power to the world around it.

Inside the artificial planet.

"Sir, an unidentified signal has been detected at the edge of the Orion Arm."

A report caught the attention of sanitation worker 9527, who was sitting high up.

His visual organs twitched slightly as he looked at the instrument beside him.

Upon seeing the red dot on the instrument, a hint of white appeared on his originally bluish skin.

That's how their race expresses surprise.

"Hmm? At the edge of the Orion Arm?"

"If I remember correctly, a primitive civilization was discovered over there not long ago, right?"

As he spoke, he quickly activated his external memory storage device.

A few milliseconds later, he spoke again: "Heh... two civilizations so close together?"

What did they send?

The next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Cleaner 9527.

As the text on the light screen appeared, the tremors in the visual organs of Cleaner 9527 became increasingly noticeable.

"Tsk, another bug that just left its home planet..." Cleaner 9527 said impatiently.

"Sir, we..."

When asked by his subordinates, Cleaner 9527 casually glanced at the coordinates on the instrument and said, "Execute the cleaning program."

"Don't forget, not long ago a level seven civilization with a pastoral lifestyle fled over there."

"According to the requirements above, any civilization that appears over there must be wiped out."

As he spoke, he swiped through the applications submitted by his subordinates: "A red dwarf star, and a Type I civilization at that... One Star Eater is enough to deal with them."

"Our war with the pastoralists is far from over. Let's save our resources to avoid being held accountable by our superiors later."

At the same time, a sphere emitting a dark light appeared out of nowhere next to the artificial planet.

The next moment, the sphere vanished from its spot.

"Sir, the Star Eater has entered warp drive."

...

Earth.

Following the breakthrough in quantum long-distance communication technology, Zero immediately began the manufacturing process.

Countless robots and robotic arms are constantly appearing on the production line.

Large quantities of refined resources were transported to an altitude of 91,000 kilometers via the Jianmu and the Tower of Babel.

Subsequently, these robots, robotic arms, and mineral resources were transported via tracks into the ten Luan Bird Starships.

The Mars City construction project has begun!

Human Union Starship Base.

Inside a rather secluded dormitory room.

"Hey... Zijie, when do you think we'll be able to pilot a real starship?"

A voice tinged with sorrow rang out.
