Chapter 257 Sir, this way!
The communication was interrupted, and the cockpit fell into an eerie silence.
Auraya's skin was a bright blue, clearly showing his inner panic and anxiety.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Chen Fan standing in the corner of the cockpit with his eyes without a trace of white.
He didn't know whether his previous answer would satisfy this adult from the Varela civilization.
Thinking that the safety of his home planet was in Chen Fan's mind, and looking at Chen Fan who didn't say a word, Auraya's panic became more and more intense.
At the same time.
Relying on the transfer function of the smart terminal, Chen Fan has built a communication channel similar to the mind network with his two assistants in his mind.
Being inside the starship of the Swamp Abyss civilization, it is naturally impossible to communicate as freely as before.
Logically speaking, the main function of this mind network is to facilitate investigators to carry out infiltration investigation tasks-whether it is language or gestures, the information expressed is definitely not as accurate and fast as brain waves.
But...
Chen Fan obviously didn't read the instruction manual of the mind network.
"Fuck? This Olaya is really a talented person."
Chen Fan looked helpless and couldn't help complaining in the mental network: "Can such an outrageous reason as gene mutation be used?"
"The key is that the other party believed it!"
"This is even more outrageous!"
"Maybe..." Isa's soft voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind, "Maybe gene mutation is very common in the Swamp Civilization?"
"Not really?" Perhaps because the scene in front of him was too abstract, Gao Yuan also expressed his opinion extremely rarely, "I saw an introduction to gene mutation in the textbook of the Administration last time."
"Gene mutation is more common in civilizations below level one. For interstellar civilizations, gene mutation is already a very rare disease."
"Let me think about the original words in the textbook..."
Gao Yuan frowned slightly, and a few fine wrinkles appeared on his shiny forehead.
The next second, his expression suddenly relaxed: "I remember, the poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan felt his eyes twitch suddenly, and couldn't help complaining in his mind: "What the hell, isn't this called the interstellar civilization gene sequence stabilization phenomenon?"
"Not bad, almost the same..."
Gao Yuan responded to Chen Fan's complaints happily.
Chen Fan glanced at Gao Yuan unhappily, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: I really don't know what version of textbooks this kid usually reads.
The so-called gene sequence stabilization phenomenon, in simple terms, the higher the level of civilization, the more stable the gene sequence of the individual civilization, and the lower the probability of gene mutation of the individual organism.
The reason behind it is actually not difficult to understand.
Since gene mutation is often uncontrollable, and the direction of mutation is often more harmful than beneficial, therefore, for interstellar civilizations that need to travel in the universe all year round, how to control gene mutation can be regarded as a top priority.
Especially for high-level civilizations, which often drive starships to travel through various high-radiation areas, the technology to ensure genetic stability has become a top priority - you can't find that you and your mother civilization are reproductively isolated after a long voyage, right?
So what Gao Yuan said is not wrong.
The words are rough but the truth is true. High-level civilizations do rely on scientific and technological means to solve related problems.
According to the survey report provided by the Human Union Academy of Sciences, let alone higher-level civilizations, even for third-level civilizations, under normal circumstances, gene mutation is already a rare disease.
Because of this, Chen Fan was particularly surprised by the attitude of Olaya and the Bray Alliance towards gene mutation.
Is it really like what Isa said just now, that gene mutation is a fairly common phenomenon for the Swamp Abyss civilization where Olaya is located?
Congenital mutant holy body?
Can such a civilization really be passed down from generation to generation?
Chen Fan is skeptical about this.
"... Your Excellency? Your Excellency Chen Fan?"
A hoarse shout came from the side, interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts, and the discussion between Isa and Gao Yuan in the mind network also came to an abrupt end.
Chen Fan, who had come to his senses, looked at Olaya who was standing in front of the console.
He sensed the other party's intention from Olaya's expression.
"Well done."
Chen Fan nodded calmly: "Just say that in the future."
"Try not to reveal my identity."
As he said that, he thought about it, and the smart terminal in his right hand lit up with a fluorescent green light.
In the fluorescent green light, a cylindrical device with a metallic luster slowly emerged.
Chen Fan gently clenched his right hand, and the fluorescent green light dissipated, and the cylindrical device also fell into his palm.
Then, under Olaya's gaze, Chen Fan gently raised his right hand, and the cylindrical device drew a graceful arc in the air and fell towards him.
Olaya subconsciously reached out and caught the cylindrical device.
"This, this is..."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "One standard capacity of antihydrogen atoms."
"Standard capacity?" Olaya blinked, and the translucent eyelids quickly covered his black eyeballs.
"Let me think about it..." Chen Fan thought for a moment and gave a very intuitive answer, "Your Swamp Abyss civilization should be able to initially produce antimatter, right?"
Olaya looked embarrassed and nodded slightly: "We have mastered the relevant technology, but the technology is not mature yet, and the output is quite low."
As he said that, he reported a rough number.
Yi quickly completed the corresponding conversion work and projected the answer into the holographic projection on Chen Fan's visor.
"There's not a lot of antimatter here."
Chen Fan waved his hand casually: "It's probably equivalent to the antimatter production of your civilization in one year."
"Not a lot"
Olaya's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the inconspicuous cylindrical device in his hand with horror: "This, this, there are so, so much antimatter here?"
His dry hands trembled slightly, and the color of the skin on his body became vivid because of the fluctuations of emotions.
"It's just a little space compression technology." Chen Fan turned and walked towards the chair that looked intact. "Be careful, although this thing has good protection measures, it is still antimatter. If it leaks, it's not a joke."
Chen Fan sat carefully on the not-so-spacious chair. Hearing the creaking sound coming from under him, he suddenly felt his eyebrows throbbing.
"Next, you will be our tour guide."
"This amount of antimatter is a deposit. After the matter is done, I will give you this number."
As he said, Chen Fan raised his hand and stretched out five fingers.
"Five standard capacities?" Olaya's eyes lit up slightly.
This is the antimatter production of the Swamp Abyss civilization for five years!
It is indeed a high-level civilization!
"What?" Chen Fan frowned in dissatisfaction, "Do I look like such a stingy person?"
"Fifty standard capacities!"
Olaya subconsciously held his breath!
Getting rich!!!
This thought flashed through his mind for the first time.
Then, he realized something deeper-just as he had thought before, the arrival of Chen Fan and the other two was likely to be a great opportunity for the Swamp Abyss civilization!
Its importance is even no less than the moment when the ancestors of the Swamp Abyss people walked out of the water and began to look up at the stars hundreds of millions of years ago!!!
Thinking of this, Olaya's waist was slightly hunched, and a smile quickly squeezed out of his face.
"Quick!"
Olaya issued an order to several blue-skinned baby fish around him: "Target Swamp Abyss Star, maximum cruising speed!"
Sir, this way!
...
When several old antique starships exited the curvature state again, a small star system appeared in front of Chen Fan.
This is a very mini star system.
A red dwarf star with a dark red glow was quietly moving in the center of the star system, struggling to dispel the darkness and coldness around it.
Two planets of different sizes were slowly orbiting around the red dwarf star.
Yes, two, there are only two planets in the entire star system!
[In fact, such star systems are very common in the universe.]
Just as Chen Fan was surprised, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [There are many star systems that don't even have planets.]
[That being said, it is indeed quite rare for a star system of such a small scale to give birth to a third-level civilization.]
[The civilization potential of the Swamp Abyss civilization should be quite good.]
Yi gave a positive evaluation.
Olaya's introduction also sounded in the cockpit at the same time. From his words, Chen Fan roughly figured out the location and specific coordinates of the Swamp Abyss Star and the Swamp Abyss Star System in the Bray Galaxy.
This star system is at the edge of the galaxy.
Lack of resources, remote location...
Because of this, the Swamp Abyss civilization is only a small third-level civilization despite its best efforts; because of this, the Swamp Abyss civilization has become cannon fodder for border patrol work.
Chen Fan's eyes flashed with a sigh, and he cast his eyes on the two planets that gradually became clearer as the distance got closer.
The leading one, which is also the one closest to the red dwarf, is the home planet of the Swamp Abyss civilization.
It is a rocky planet, and there is a small silver-gray satellite not far away from it.
The surface of the planet has dark or light brown scars. In the center of some darker brown scars, large-scale cities visible to the naked eye have risen from the ground.
As for those lighter brown scars...
those are the waters of Swamp Abyss.
Although 75% of the entire planet is covered by water, there is no real ocean on Swamp Abyss.
The most common landform on this planet is swamps, and the deepest is only a dozen meters, which can only be regarded as a slightly larger lake.
The second planet is a miniature gas giant planet.
There are a lot of unnamed heavy machinery equipment in its orbit, which are like straws, deeply inserted into the interior of the gas giant planet.
[The Swamp Abyss civilization is lucky.]
Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind again: [This machine just controlled the Varela to conduct a simple planetary scan and found that there are quite rich hydrogen and helium resources inside this gas giant planet.]
[In the early stages of civilization development, this gas giant planet should have provided a lot of help to the Swamp Abyss civilization.]
[It can not only protect the Swamp Abyss mother planet from meteorite impacts outside the star system, but also provide a large amount of nuclear fusion fuel for the Swamp Abyss civilization.]
Chen Fan's eyes showed a look of realization, and he subconsciously glanced at the side of the porthole.
In that deep starry sky, the Varela, which has ascended to the fourth dimension, has fully activated the concealment measures-under normal circumstances, even the seventh-level civilization would find it difficult to discover the Varela at this time.
"Sir, we are here."
The old starship quickly passed the gas giant planet and finally stopped in front of the rocky planet covered with brown and yellow scars.
