Chapter 251: Get familiar with the face
"...Ah?"
Chen Fan was stunned, staring at the holographic projection in front of him.
After a few seconds, he finally reacted - damn, they seemed to have broken into someone else's house!
"Normal situation."
Yi's electronic synthesized voice echoed in the cockpit: "The EL13697101 universe has just been incorporated into the territory of the Human Union. Due to its relatively remote geographical location and the involvement of various affairs of the Dangerous Technology Management Bureau, the Human Union has not yet conducted in-depth exploration of the universe bubble. The current distribution of civilizations in the universe is still unknown..."
Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly, interrupting Yi's words: "Speak human language."
"Oh."
Yi responded and summarized in very brief words: "Neither this machine nor the ship-borne main brain has navigation, so it's normal to go astray."
Chen Fan: "..."
God damn, there is no navigation!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the complaints in his heart as much as possible.
"The universe is said to be very empty?"
Chen Fan couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "How come I can run into someone's house when I go out for a walk..."
"This is already a densely populated area of galaxies." Yi's voice came again, "It's normal to encounter some civilizations."
"Besides, the concept of the universe being empty is only relative."
"Compared to those habitable planets that are crowded with life, the universe is indeed quite empty."
Chen Fan was speechless.
After sorting out his feelings, Chen Fan, who had never experienced such a diplomatic incident, asked Yi: "What should we do now?"
"...Wait a minute, this machine will help you find some cases."
The moment the electronic synthesized voice fell, a large number of treatment solutions had already emerged in the holographic projection in front of him.
Chen Fan quickly glanced at it. Some of these treatment solutions came from the official information of the Administration, and the other part came from the discussion thread of the investigator's inter-universe forum.
"According to the official version of the Civilization Conflict Resolution Solution V8.21 released by the Administration, investigators should immediately identify themselves to the other party and..."
"Stop, stop!"
After just listening to the beginning, Chen Fan couldn't help but interrupt Yi's words: "Identify yourself? Do you think the other party knows the Human Union?"
Chen Fan looked at the holographic panel in front of him with suspicion: "Your solution should be aimed at those interstellar civilizations that have not yet joined the Human Union but know about the existence of the Human Union, right?"
Yi fell into silence: "..."
Chen Fan raised his hand to support his forehead, and asked helplessly: "Is there any saying in the investigator forum?"
"...They are all similar practices." Yi gave an answer, "After all, the name of the Human Union is still well-known in the pan-universe, and basically all civilizations that have entered the interstellar will have heard of it." "
The EL13697101 universe is a special case, so the Administration has not issued a corresponding bill."
"That's not right." Hearing Yi's words, Chen Fan suddenly frowned, "In addition to the EL13697101 universe bubble, hasn't the Human Union discovered a new universe bubble?"
"The indigenous civilization in it..."
"That's not the project that the Administration is responsible for." Yi interrupted Chen Fan's words, "The development of the universe bubble is the job of the Academy of Sciences."
Chen Fan suddenly became curious: "Will we encounter some ignorant civilizations during the development process?"
"Of course, but there are very few."
Yi answered honestly: "Most civilizations will choose the plan of peaceful communication after seeing the main fleet of the Human Union."
"As for some young and inexperienced civilizations that try to actively provoke the Human Union, they are usually given different punishments according to the severity of the circumstances." "For
those with lighter circumstances, they will be given a small lesson. For those with more serious circumstances, they will usually face the full-scale attack of the main fleet, including but not limited to artillery plowing, Genesis reset and other plans."
"Of course, this situation has hardly ever happened."
Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
No wonder the first sentence in the Administration's plan is to reveal the identity.
What's the difference between this and Tang's clearance certificate?
Those civilizations that have long seen the power of the Human Union naturally cannot make things difficult for the Human Union's investigators!
But the situation Chen Fan encountered obviously cannot be applied to the experience of other investigators-the other party is not aware of the power of the Human Union, and at the same time, he doesn't have a fleet at hand!
How does one say that?
Truth is only within the range of cannons - but the premise is that he has to have a real cannon in his hand!
You can't let him take a "public ship" to challenge an entire civilization alone, right?
"Wait a minute, this machine will help you find other applicable solutions."
As the electronic synthesis sound sounded again, a large amount of text and information flashed quickly in the holographic panel in front of him.
On the other side, the warning information from the unknown civilization also changed again.
[Second warning!]
[You have invaded our territory, please shut down the curvature engine immediately, otherwise you will be attacked!]
At the same time, the warning message from the shipboard main brain also popped up in front of him.
[Warning!]
[Unknown space-time fluctuations detected, distance: 0.18 light years, target flight speed: 5.73c. 】
Looking at the red warning message flashing in front of him, Chen Fan couldn't help but reveal a look of distress in his eyes: "Yi, are you okay?"
"...The situation is complicated. This machine really didn't find the corresponding solution in the database."
"How about...let's just run away?"
Isa timidly made a suggestion: "Before the other party comes, let's leave here first?"
Looking at the several light spots approaching rapidly in the tachyon radar, Chen Fan was a little tempted.
Apart from other things, based on the flexibility of the [Varilla], it is estimated that few civilized starships in this universe can catch up.
But...
"No, no!"
"This is too embarrassing." Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly. "If this gets out, will I still have a good reputation in the Administration?!"
"Besides..."
Chen Fan paused: "I don't know how many civilizations I will have to deal with in the next investigation mission. I have to get familiar with this universe bubble first."
"This machine agrees with you." Yi gave a positive answer. "In fact, every investigator is quite familiar with the civilizations in his jurisdiction."
"That's it."
Looking at the electromagnetic wave information that has begun the third warning in the holographic projection, Chen Fan sat up straight, and his expression became more solemn: "Continue to maintain the curvature state."
"The protection system is running at full power. Let's see the opponent's strength first."
...
[Starship speed: 0.3c. ]
Driven by the curvature engine, [Varilla] slowly and firmly drove towards the warning target in the tachyon radar.
[Third warning! ]
[You have invaded the territory of our civilization. In order to ensure the safety of our territory, we will launch the first round of strikes against you! 】
Chen Fan stared at the warning information flashing in the holographic interface, and felt a little uneasy.
Apart from the battle with the Roca planetary fortress, this was the first time he had a conflict with another starship!
In fact, he could directly order the starship to exit the curvature state.
There is no doubt that this can definitely avoid the next conflict, but doing so will not benefit Chen Fan's subsequent plans at all - from the scene of the universe bubble pioneering described by Yi, it can be seen that every interstellar civilization is not a vegetarian.
If you want the other party to cooperate with your investigation work safely and steadily, a proper show of strength is an indispensable link.
[Warning! ]
[Abnormal curvature fluctuations have been detected, and the initial judgment is that the attacking object is a curvature missile. ]
A dozen small light spots appeared again on the tachyon radar interface in front of him.
Different from the previous light spots, these dozen new light spots have a higher speed.
15.7c.
Far exceeds the flight speed of those starships.
Of course, for the [Varilla], this speed is still as slow as a snail.
"It seems that the opponent's strength is not that strong."
"The curvature speed is usually proportional to the strength of the civilization."
"The stronger the civilization, the higher the curvature navigation speed will be."
While the dozen curvature missiles have not yet arrived at the battlefield, Yi Wei Chen Fan analyzed the battle situation: "The curvature speed of 5-15c, theoretically, this civilization should have just been promoted to level 5 civilization not long ago, and is in the initial stage of level 5 civilization."
Chen Fan nodded silently, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
He thought it was some elite monster.
It turned out to be a level 5 little Karami!
"Too slow."
Looking at the curvature missiles moving forward little by little in the radar, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly: "Yi, speed up and meet it."
Buzz...
Almost at the moment the order was issued, the output power of the curvature engine of the [Varilla] instantly increased, and the khaki starship disappeared directly in the visible universe.
At the same time, the electromagnetic wave warning information on the holographic panel on the side was also interrupted-the transmission speed of electromagnetic waves is only the speed of light, which is far behind the [Varilla] that has entered the superluminal cruise state.
"Strange..."
Yi whispered his confusion: "Level 5 civilization should have mastered certain tachyon communication methods, why is the other party still using primitive electromagnetic wave communication methods?"
Chen Fan did not speak, but silently suppressed this doubt in his heart.
...
In the state of superluminal cruising, the scene outside the starship's porthole is particularly strange.
Looking forward, the starlight from afar rushed towards the starship.
Unlike normal starlight, due to the powerful blue shift effect, all starlight appears blue.
But if you look back, it is pitch black outside the porthole-the light from behind can't catch up with the starship at all.
Because of this, there is a clear dividing line outside the porthole.
Before the dividing line is dazzling blue starlight, and after the dividing line is deep and extreme darkness.
[About to reach the target location.]
As the shipboard computer issued a prompt, the output power of the curvature engine began to decrease rapidly, and the speed of [Varilla] also began to drop sharply.
In the vast universe with starlight, a khaki starship emerged very abruptly.
The next second,
a faint, almost imperceptible space wave spread out in all directions.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the empty universe, dozens of explosions suddenly lit up!
"The curvature missile was successfully intercepted."
Yi's voice sounded in the cockpit.
