Chapter 384 A Call from the Anti-Universe
The vast, boundless five-dimensional space slowly emerged in his consciousness.
Chen Fan skillfully shifted his attention away from the bizarre light spots and light bands in the five-dimensional space, and at the same time emptied his mind to free up his energy to welcome the next resonance - each light spot and light band is a cosmic bubble near the hyperspace membrane. Once he focuses his attention on these light spots, the high-dimensional information escaping from the cosmic bubble is enough to break through all the defenses he has set up in his consciousness.
Time passed slowly.
As the purified version of the star sand gradually took effect, the high-dimensional scene in Chen Fan's consciousness became clearer and clearer, and the obscure murmurs from the broadcast civilization rose in his mind.
Compared with the main universe, this obscure murmur was obviously much clearer.
Gradually, another slightly noisy sound slowly emerged in his consciousness.
Chen Fan's heart moved.
The broadcast signal of the Xinaluo civilization, obviously, this is the purpose of the ghost fleet - he was right, the ghost fleet and the Xinaluo civilization may have a very close relationship!
Even... the ghost fleet is the Xinaluo fleet that failed in that war! !
But...
didn't Xinaluo's external distress call end?
——As early as the last high-dimensional signal reverse tracing experiment, the Xinaluo civilization stated in the distress signal that it was the last external call.
After confirming that he was not mistaken, Chen Fan's confusion became more and more intense.
Unlike the first reverse tracing experiment, this time, perhaps affected by the broadcast civilization, the distress message of Xinaluo civilization became blurred.
Chen Fan's thoughts moved slightly, and he began to gradually remove his subjective suppression of high-dimensional resonance.
The obscure murmurs continued to intensify, and the distress message from Xinaluo civilization gradually became clearer.
"... The first external call experiment, this is Xinaluo civilization."
Chen Fan was stunned.
The first external call?
This... Is there something wrong with the sequence?
Could it be that all the distress messages were released by the ghost fleet?
Chen Fan suppressed the confusion in his heart and listened carefully.
"The purpose of this call is to find possible native civilizations in this universe."
"Recently, we discovered an unknown life form in a black hole. This life form is violent and cannot communicate normally. At present, this unknown life form has begun to invade our civilization..."
"The following are some characteristics of the unknown life form... tsk..."
"...Repeat, the Xinalo civilization is willing to form an alliance with the civilization that received this call information to jointly resist the invasion of unknown life forms... tsk..." ...
The
high-dimensional resonance ended.
Chen Fan slowly opened his confused eyes and immediately looked at Wang Jing not far away.
"Academician Wang, this resonance..."
"Wait a minute." Wang Jing operated the holographic panel of the experimental table without looking back. The huge holographic panel flashed with complicated data that Chen Fan could not understand at all. "There is something wrong with the high-dimensional resonance this time."
"Huh?"
Chen Fan subconsciously asked back: "You also know that there is a problem with the distress signal of the Xina Luo civilization?"
"...Xina Luo?" Wang Jing's hand movement suddenly paused, then frowned and turned to look at Chen Fan, "What did you say? What happened to the distress signal of the Xina Luo civilization?"
Now it was Chen Fan's turn to be stunned: "You don't know the problem with the Xina Luo civilization?"
"Then... Academician Wang, the high-dimensional resonance you mentioned just now..."
"This reverse tracing experiment found two different signal sources." Wang Jing frowned, and a trace of confusion flashed across her haggard face. "From the characteristics of the signal source, it can be determined that one of them is the distress signal of the Xina Luo civilization. As for the other..."
"It's the resonance of the broadcasting civilization." Chen Fan quickly added, "This time I heard the resonance much more clearly."
Wang Jing nodded: "It seems that, as previously speculated, the resonance of the broadcasting civilization has a certain distance limit."
As she spoke, she reached out and called up a holographic interface, on which a panoramic image of the node universe was presented.
At the edge of the image, there was a small red light spot, which was the coordinate determined by the first experiment and the specific location of the Varela galaxy.
"In order not to waste this opportunity, I simultaneously conducted reverse tracing of the two signal sources."
"First, the tracing of the signal of the Xinaluo civilization."
Wang Jing raised her hand and lightly tapped on the holographic interface. The panoramic view of the universe in the holographic interface suddenly changed, and was replaced by a three-dimensional five-dimensional space simulation.
In the simulation, there were two cosmic bubbles that looked almost exactly the same on both sides of the hyperspace membrane.
And the previous red dot also quickly moved from the node universe to the universe on the opposite side of the hyperspace membrane:
"The calculation results show that the coordinates of the signal sources of the two experiments have undergone a considerable deviation in the five-dimensional coordinate system."
"To put it simply."
"This signal tracing experiment shows that the distress signal of the Xinalo civilization came from the anti-universe, and its corresponding coordinates are exactly the Varela galaxy where we are."
"As for why there are such large errors in the two tracing experiments..." Wang Jing pondered for a moment, "I tend to think it is a distance problem. Just like the signal of the broadcasting civilization, the accuracy of the Xinalo distress signal has therefore undergone a large deviation."
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully: "What about the broadcasting civilization?"
He couldn't help holding his breath: "Did the signal tracing find the other party's coordinates?"
Compared with the Xinalo civilization, the broadcasting civilization is the real top priority!
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the hiding place of the broadcasting civilization is found, the current situation of the human alliance will be improved instantly! !
"Ah..."
Wang Jing sighed softly, then shook her head helplessly: "The problem lies here."
"Let me show you the signal tracing results directly."
As she spoke, Wang Jing raised her hand and gently swept across the holographic interface in front of her. The picture that originally showed two symmetrical cosmic bubbles disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a cosmic bubble filled with red light.
It was also a node universe.
But unlike the previous picture, this time, the red light evenly spread over the entire universe bubble.
"This..."
Chen Fan was speechless for a moment: "The entire universe bubble is the signal source?"
Wang Jing nodded to confirm Chen Fan's words.
"The tracing results show that the signal source is evenly distributed throughout the universe."
Wang Jing's eyes were full of confusion. She adjusted the holographic panel in front of her again, but the picture did not change: "According to this tracing result, the broadcasting civilization has always been around us, but we can't see them."
Chen Fan and the two assistants turned their heads and looked around. At this moment, everyone felt a chill rising from their backs.
This... sounds weird.
It's almost like a supernatural event.
Looking at the laboratories and research ships around him that were all normal, Chen Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Academician Wang, what do you say..."
"Is it possible that the other party has transformed the entire universe bubble into a high-dimensional signal broadcasting device?"
"So the signal is traced back..."
Wang Jing's eyes lit up.
This is a unique idea, and it can also well explain the phenomenon of signal sources throughout the universe!
But...
after a brief thought, Wang Jing shook her head and rejected this speculation: "If this cosmic bubble is transformed into a signal broadcasting device, if there really is such a huge megastructure on the macro level, the Human Union should have observed it long ago."
Chen Fan was speechless.
It seems to be the case.
He has also experienced high-dimensional navigation. Although this node universe is different from a normal cosmic bubble, there is definitely no large-scale man-made equipment around it.
"So..."
Wang Jing shook his head again and waved away the holographic interface in front of him: "There must be a problem."
The atmosphere in the shipboard laboratory of the research ship became stagnant.
After this incident, Chen Fan even subconsciously ignored the distress message from Xinaluo that he had heard earlier.
Until Yi issued a corresponding warning message:
[Warning! ]
[The ghost fleet has been detected to have abnormal movements again. ]
...
Under the leadership of Wang Jing, Chen Fan and his party quickly left the shipboard laboratory.
After passing through a series of familiar passages, everyone came to the cockpit of the research ship. Apart from the unique shipboard laboratory, the internal structure of the TE1571 research ship overlapped with that of the TE913 research ship.
Through the spacious portholes of the cockpit, Chen Fan saw the ghost fleet again.
This mysterious fleet set sail again!
Under the gaze of everyone, the ghost fleet began to flash long and soft fluorescence again as usual.
At the same time, it quietly left the original docking position and slowly and firmly sailed towards the outside of the Varela star system.
Chen Fan's attention was quickly focused on the flickering fluorescence. Having witnessed the ghost song several times, he quickly noticed the problem: it
was very different from the previous ghost song and the short vocabulary-style information. This time the flickering fluorescence was longer and the flickering frequency was also more moderate!
"No! This is not a ghost song!"
Chen Fan's face changed, and he quickly gave an order: "One, try to translate it immediately!"
It was also the universal encryption format of Human Union Type I.
Under Yi's translation, lines of text appeared in front of everyone.
[We are in the starry sky, waiting for the birth of new life with great expectation. ]
[But... things are not going as we wish. ]
[Falling, falling, falling...]
[Time gradually stops, and what awaits us seems to be only endless falling...]
Along with the appearance of the text, a song with a completely different style from the ghost song sounded in the cockpit of the research ship.
The moment he heard the song, Chen Fan seemed to see an empty and lonely universe in front of him.
A civilization, or a fleet, quietly wandered in the starry sky, trying to find possible life.
But... no matter where it walked, the starry sky was dead silent, with no trace of life.
It seemed...
that there was only one civilization in the vast universe!
A strong sense of sadness and loneliness rose from the bottom of my heart.
Time passed quickly, and the starry sky began to collapse and fall.
When the starry sky completely dissipated, the illusion in front of me also dissipated.
In the holographic interface in front of him, there was only a lonely text and a big exclamation mark.
【Come! 】
