127 light-years from the collision zone of the AGBH-01 and AGBH-02 binary black holes, an unnamed star system.

It is a binary star system, with the main stars being two young and energetic blue giants of similar mass.

There are more than twenty planets of varying sizes orbiting these two blue giants.

Without a doubt, this is a star system far larger than our solar system.

Its excellent geographical location and structure make it one of the best "viewing spots" for this Andromeda Galaxy fireworks display.

The ultimate goal of the human fleet is this young star system.

Naturally, such a "grand event" would not only attract human civilization.

Hundreds of years ago, before human fleets even discovered this star system, a civilization had already taken the lead and seized this prime location.

...

Inside an unnamed star system, there is an Earth-like planet rich in water resources.

Warships, resembling countless stacks of mud, take off and land continuously on this swampy planet.

One by one, intelligent creatures, layer upon layer, slowly crawled through the swamp.

Yes, it's layered.

Layers of fleshy, sac-like tissues were irregularly stacked, forming uniquely shaped, large and small intelligent creatures.

The size of an individual ranges from 0.5m to 2.5m.

They extend long tentacles from inside their bodies, evenly covering their bodies with murky mud, which seems to bring them considerable comfort.

They call themselves the Olcott Civilization, and their home planet is a swampy planet.

Their predecessor was a giant fungal organism called the Alcott from a swamp planet.

It was a giant fungus that covered more than a thousand square kilometers of the earth's surface.

Through a long process of evolution, this giant fungus successfully evolved a neural network and sensory system, and successfully completed the evolution of its own life form—it split and differentiated into individuals of different sizes, just like bees of different statuses in a hive, each responsible for handling different tasks.

These offspring that detach from it possess basic nervous and sensory systems, but they lack independent thought.

All the information will be aggregated and processed within its complex neural network.

In other words, [Alcott] is the entire civilization.

In stark contrast to the Nus civilization, the entire civilization itself is Nus, a civilizational consciousness formed by the collective consciousness of countless individuals.

And so, after overcoming countless hardships, the [Alcott] civilization successfully developed into a Level 6 civilization.

In order to grasp the secrets of advancing to the seventh level of civilization, they waited for hundreds of thousands of years and finally succeeded in getting this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

When the tachyon broadcast signal swept across the planet, both on the planet's surface and in the warships, all the sub-entities simultaneously looked up at the sky.

[It's finally about to begin...]

A hopeful thought flashed through the complex neural pathways of the [Alcott], who was still aboard the fleet flagship.

Unfortunately, it's still unclear whether that rumor is true...

...

Within the microcosm of human connection.

Earth Command Center.

Unlike the usual atmosphere in the command center, the atmosphere inside was extremely enthusiastic at this moment.

Almost every academician expressed their opinions with great excitement.

The reason for this phenomenon is a special frequency band and encryption method left in that radio broadcast.

Whether or not to enter this frequency for cultural exchange posted by neutral parties is a perplexing question.

Human civilization is now a member of the silicon-based alliance, and theoretically, a neutral party, so we shouldn't have this kind of concern.

but……

Human civilization has a severely inadequate understanding of neutral factions, coupled with past experiences in the Milky Way...

These factors still led many conservative academicians to hold opposing views.

As the discussions gradually subsided, all the academicians turned their attention to Lü Yongchang, who was sitting in the command position.

Ultimately, the decision rested with Lü Yongchang, who was the chief scientist.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

After hesitating for a while, Lü Yongchang made a decision: "The troubles of the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction have been basically resolved."

"Our Enroget civilization is not afraid of trouble!"

Fang Xu, sitting next to Lü Yongchang, suddenly twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Well, it seems this disguise is now permanently stuck.

The Enroget civilization will live forever in the hearts of human civilization!

...

Beyond the microcosm.

The output power of the large tachyon information transceiver inside the Chi You warship began to steadily increase—tachyon broadcasting is not a function that ordinary tachyon information transceivers can handle.

This can be seen from the famous scene where the silicone ray knocks down four stars at once.

"Signal transmission is normal!"

"Successfully connected to the designated frequency band!"

"Encrypted ciphertext received... Warning! Large message size!"

"Information decryption is in progress..."

The electronic announcement of "Zero" rang out in the command center, and Lü Yongchang focused all his attention on the huge projection screen directly in front of him.

...

[Coordinates: (...); Level 5 Hela Civilization; Seeking a habitable planet with substantial reward, requirements are as follows...]

[Coordinates: (...); Hela civilization, I have a planet that might meet your requirements, but its mass is too high. Specific parameters are as follows...]

[Coordinates: (...); A Level 5 civilization seeks refuge. Reward: 100,000 standard units of antimatter.]

[...]

In an instant, a deluge of information exploded on the giant holographic projection in the command center.

Almost all the information was sent by a Level 5 civilization.

Before mastering tachyon broadcasting technology, they could only send out the approximate location of their civilization in order to receive a precise response from a civilization of the same level.

As they stared at the constantly updating, bright white text messages, the expressions of all the academicians in the command center froze.

this……

Interstellar Civilization Chat Group?

These neutral parties... they're quite the schemers?

Lu Yongchang waved his hand, looking somewhat troubled.

"zero."

"Block out all information with low signal strength."

The moment the words were spoken, the giant holographic projection instantly became clear and bright.
