Chapter 289 Ghost Song
"The signal has been analyzed."
At the moment when the ghost fleet's light stopped flashing, Yi's electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded in the quiet cockpit of the Varela.
Chen Fan's eyes sank slightly, and he looked down at the holographic interface above the main console.
Lines of text began to emerge.
[Machines dance wildly in the deep starry sky, wantonly slaughtering the creatures in the universe]
[Invasion from foreign lands appears in every corner of the starry sky]
[Undetectable undead linger around every civilization]
[Our fleet covers the sky]
[But it still cannot resist the destruction that finally comes]
Chen Fan was stunned, his eyes full of confusion: "What does this mean?"
"And... so short?"
"I saw that the light just now was flashing quite frequently?"
"To be precise, this is an audio signal." The electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit, "In order to improve efficiency, this machine has extracted the effective information inside it."
"Audio signal?!"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows: "This thing can't be a song?"
"Broadly speaking, it does meet the definition of a song."
Hearing Yi's words, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
You know, songs and lyrics are two different things. In some cases, melody and lyrics can even reflect two completely different artistic conceptions.
As a simple-minded Level I artificial intelligence, Yi certainly cannot understand this kind of perceptual information.
Because of this, it overreached and simplified the relatively complex audio information into a simple text.
"Play the entire audio information."
Thinking of this, Chen Fan gave an order to Yi: "Remember, don't make any cuts."
Yi didn't quite understand the meaning of Chen Fan's order. In its view, those complex and varied melodies were just useless interference information.
But since Chen Fan said so, it naturally played the entire compiled and decoded audio information without hesitation.
A complex melody that was difficult to describe in words suddenly sounded in the cockpit.
Sadness, grief, helplessness...
The moment he heard the melody, Chen Fan felt a complex emotion in his heart.
This is a song that touches the soul.
Although Chen Fan couldn't recognize the instrument that appeared in the melody, he could still clearly feel the intention that the song wanted to express. It
has nothing to do with culture, experience, or race.
As long as they hear this song, any intelligent creature will immediately understand the emotions contained in this song-not only Chen Fan, but also Isa, Gao Yuan, and even Captain Olaya who was still in the Swamp Fleet, all showed an extremely sad look at this time.
The melody changed slightly, and a deep starry sky gradually emerged in Chen Fan's mind.
The prelude ended.
A soft voice with a bit of holiness, like the chanting of gods, echoed in the cockpit.
The content of the chant was naturally the information extracted by Yi.
[Machines dance wildly in the deep starry sky...]
The picture in Chen Fan's mind began to change gradually-a huge starship broke the tranquility of the starry sky and slaughtered the life in the universe wantonly.
Suddenly.
The melodious and sad melody suddenly changed!
Along with the majestic and inspiring melody, the chanting became louder.
[Our fleet covers the sky...]
Chen Fan's frowned brows slightly relaxed.
At this moment, he seemed to see an invincible fleet taking the initiative to meet those unknown enemies!
After dozens of seconds.
The high-pitched chant gradually fell, and the melody became heavy and sad again.
Chen Fan's heart trembled.
He knew that the invincible fleet had failed-destruction came, and the civilization where the fleet was located disappeared in the long river of history.
Although the melody has stopped, Chen Fan and the other two and Captain Olaya in the communication channel are still immersed in this epic song.
Chen Fan raised his head slightly and stared at the ghost fleet that was gradually moving away outside the porthole.
I don't know when it started, the soft light emitted by the fleet began to flicker again.
It was still the same frequency as before.
But...
at this moment, in Chen Fan's eyes, this ghost fleet was no longer scary.
It was like a homeless, wandering prodigal son, telling the surroundings about the despair he had experienced in a language that no one could understand.
No wonder this ghost fleet looked tattered!
Chen Fan realized one thing belatedly:
all the scars on the surface of the ghost ship's hull were marks left by that shocking war!
Under Chen Fan's gaze, the fleet's figure began to slowly dissipate, and finally disappeared into the vast starry sky.
The starry sky returned to its former tranquility. "The ghost fleet has disappeared." The electronic synthesized voice sounded in the quiet cockpit, and Isa and Gao Yuan also came back to their senses as if they
had just woken up from a dream. Isa's eyes were slightly red, with sparkling tears rolling back and forth in them. Obviously, the song sung by the ghost fleet just now had a great shock on her.
When Isa looked into Chen Fan's eyes, she slightly opened her rosy lips, but could not utter a word.
"What on earth did this fleet go through..."
Gao Yuan, who was standing next to him, quickly recovered with his strong nerves and asked in a low voice.
Chen Fan shook his head, and there was also some confusion in his eyes.
Although this song gave them a general understanding of the past of the ghost fleet, but...
whether it was the dancing machines in the starry sky, the invasion of foreign lands, the undetectable undead, or the destruction that finally came...
all the words were quite vague descriptions, and Chen Fan had no way of knowing their true meaning.
——Damn, there is no comment at all!!!
"..."
Chen Fan took a deep breath, and his right hand quickly swept across his sore eyes: "Immediately initiate cross-universe communication with Academician Song Ziliang."
The content of the song can be put aside for now. The most important thing now is the encryption method of the ghost fleet's information.
Why does this ghost fleet, which has never met before, know the universal encryption method of the human network? !
What is the relationship between it and the human network? !
With deep confusion, Chen Fan looked up at the holographic communication interface above the main console.
...
"What did you say?!"
In the communication interface, Song Ziliang raised his head from the densely packed holographic panels in front of him with a pair of heavy dark circles under his eyes: "A ghost fleet that can only be seen with the naked eye?"
"The active radar can't detect this fleet yet?!"
Song Ziliang looked at Chen Fan blankly: "Chen boy, is it you who hasn't woken up or me?"
Chen Fan: "..."
He carefully pointed at Song Ziliang's heavy dark circles: "I think, no matter what, it's you who hasn't woken up."
"The Administration recently..."
Song Ziliang rubbed his eyes hard, and his blank eyes quickly recovered.
"Don't say it, the Administration has gone crazy during this period."
"The research ship has been found, the existence of the broadcasting civilization has been confirmed, and they have also taken action against the scientists of the Human Union..."
"These three things together, let alone the Administration, the Human Union Academy of Sciences has entered a state of emergency."
"Let's talk about your business first."
Song Ziliang slightly cheered up and called up the task record that Chen Fan had just uploaded to check.
"..."
As time passed, Song Ziliang's face gradually became weird.
"Level 7 Civilization War?"
"Star Sand? Induced resonance? Thought Stamp? Nanomachine?!"
"Ah?!"
Song Ziliang held his forehead with his hand and sighed deeply: "Damn it, I told you that something was wrong before."
"You can run into this kind of thing just by wandering around..."
In Chen Fan's sneer, Song Ziliang flipped through the investigation plan attached to the last page: "Well done, the investigation mission of the Mining Alliance is up to your idea."
"Just remember to call for help if you can't beat them. Don't worry, the Human Alliance Fleet is professional in dealing with such things."
"Now tell me about the ghost fleet you saw." Song Ziliang's expression was a little more serious, "Are you sure what you saw before was not a three-dimensional projection of the high-dimensional fleet?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Fan categorically denied Song Ziliang's words, and transmitted all the detection data of the [Varilla] to the other party: "[Varilla] did not detect any gravitational effects."
Song Ziliang silently looked at the detailed observation data in front of him.
There was no gravitational effect or space-time fluctuation. It seemed that the other party was indeed not a high-dimensional projection.
After a long while, he heaved a long sigh of relief, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pinched his frowning eyebrows:
"How could such a thing happen..."
"Academician Song, you don't know the reason either?" Chen Fan was a little surprised.
Song Ziliang shook his head and admitted frankly: "The Human Union has never encountered such a situation."
"The knowledge I have mastered cannot explain this strange phenomenon.
" "Nothingness has an end, and the knowledge mastered by the Human Union is just a small scoop of sea water in the vast ocean."
As he said, Song Ziliang frowned and stared at the last few lines of text in the report.
"The other party also used the common encryption method of the Human Union?"
"After the signal was analyzed, a song about the fleet's experience appeared?!
" Under Chen Fan's gaze, Song Ziliang's eyes widened and finally burst out with a swear word: "What the hell are you talking about to me?!"
Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly: "...but this is the fact."
Song Ziliang raised his hand and rubbed his numb face vigorously, and silently operated the holographic panel beside him.
A few minutes later.
"I checked, there is absolutely no such fleet in the Human Union!"
Song Ziliang said in a serious tone: "I called up the central mainframe database of the Human Union Academy of Sciences. Among the civilizations above level 6, no civilization has a starship style like this."
"Let alone advanced civilizations, even civilizations below level 6 do not have this style of starship!"
Chen Fan fell into silence.
Yes.
This is really a supernatural event.
"And the lyrics of the song..."
Song Ziliang's face was gloomy: "Do you have any clues about this?"
Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly.
Clues? If he had any clues, he would not ask Song Ziliang!
"Machinery, invasion, undead..." Song Ziliang listened to the ghost song that touched his soul and murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and stood up from his seat.
"Academician Song?"
Hearing Chen Fan's voice, Song Ziliang came back to his senses.
He glanced at the communication interface, "Whether it is the ghost fleet or this ghost song... I'm afraid it's not something I can solve."
"I have to go back to the Academy of Sciences in person."
"As for you... since the ghost fleet has disappeared, you should carry out the previous investigation mission first."
"By the way, let me remind you that the process of transferring investigators across the universe has officially begun."
After saying that, Song Ziliang left his office in a hurry.
