"But...this planet is a bit strange?"
Everyone looked at the data analysis with confusion.
Zhuo Yuanming asked, puzzled, "Is there anything strange about it?"
The group started retrieving data and then said, "Hmm, we've actually detected that this planet is a metallic one!"
"Metal planet?"
Zhuo Yuanming was very surprised. Could life arise on such a planet? If there was no life and no civilization, then why did all the traces point to that planet?
"Detect for signs of life!"
"Yes! Begin retrieving biometric information..."
"No trace of carbon-based life forms was found! Nor was there any trace of other life forms!"
Everyone was quite surprised to hear this.
"How could there be no trace of life? All the clues point here; there's no mistake!"
Faced with inquiries from the crowd, the personnel responsible for analyzing the data were also helpless. The data showed this result, and as for the possibility of data errors, it was unlikely. This wasn't just one set of data displayed this way; it was the result of all the data being displayed this way, and it was the result of more than one investigation.
Zhuo Yuanming frowned, as if he had thought of a possibility, and asked, "Can metal give rise to life?"
"this..."
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible; a conscious robot like strong artificial intelligence shouldn't be considered a life form.
But not everything in this world can be explained by science, not to mention that there are many mysterious forces in this world.
Therefore, the statement that metals cannot give rise to life is not absolute, but rather that life may be possible.
"High Priest, your guess is not without merit. We can send a probe over there for a close-up investigation."
"Alright, let's send a droplet to investigate the condition of this metallic planet."
"yes!"
Soon the water droplet was launched, heading towards the metal planet.
It was subjected to a terrifying ray attack when it reached a designated distance.
A burst of bright light instantly engulfed the water droplet detector.
However, in just a few moments, the water droplet detector was melted into dust, a sudden situation that humanity had never encountered before.
"How is that possible!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the once indestructible water droplet had turned into cosmic dust.
"Raise the danger level!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes narrowed. To have such methods, a civilization must be at least at level two or above.
"Collect material information and analyze attack data!"
Everyone got busy.
"Attack method confirmed!"
"The method used is a gamma-ray burst!"
What are gamma rays?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic photons with frequencies higher than 1.5 quadrillion hertz. Gamma rays have no electric charge or rest mass, and therefore possess a weaker ionizing ability than alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays have extremely strong penetrating power and carry high energy.
Even a droplet, which relies on strong interaction forces to tightly bind electrons and form an absolute defense, can be easily penetrated and destroyed.
This is why the water droplet was dissolved in one blow.
"A technologically advanced civilization... Continue sending out droplet probes! Gather more information about their world!"
Zhuo Yuanming ordered that although the water droplets would be destroyed, they had plenty of them and could produce as many as they wanted. As long as they could collect your information, they could destroy them however they pleased.
"yes!"
A large number of water droplet detectors were launched, traveling at one-tenth the speed of light.
Humanity wanted to see if they could use this flight speed to escape the enemy's gamma-ray burst.
Unfortunately, even with such terrifying speed, the opponent was still able to lock onto and deliver a targeted gamma-ray burst attack.
One by one, the water droplets quickly dissolved.
Humanity has abandoned all tricks and is simply enduring the enemy's ray attacks to get closer to this metallic planet.
Finally, after consuming a large number of water droplet detectors, some water droplets were able to enter the other's world.
"Hurry up and collect matter information! Collect dark matter data!"
"yes!"
"Initiate matter information collection! Dark matter data collection!"
[WARNING! Under attack by unknown technology! The server is being infected with a special virus!]
Strong artificial intelligence suddenly issued a warning.
"Technological invasion!"
"Activate the firewall! Start virus scan!"
Firewall construction! The other party is cracking the firewall!
[Requesting computing power support!]
"Authorize!"
[Computing power successfully acquired! Counterattack commences!]
A large amount of data began to flash across everyone's screens, and Zhuo Yuanming quickly scanned and analyzed it.
"This intrusion method is indeed very powerful, but the opponent's computing power cannot suppress us. Therefore, this intrusion method simply opens up a path for us to re-enter the opponent's database!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes flickered. Since they dared to invade, they should be prepared to be invaded in return!
[The virus has been completely detected and eliminated! We have breached the enemy's database!]
[Extended to numerous countermeasures and isolated from the database!]
[Blocked by the other party's firewall...]
[Forced computation and cracking begins!]
[All celestial computing power accessed...]
[Cracking progress: 10%...44%...66%...]
[Interference from the enemy has disrupted the cracking process... Counterattack capabilities have been significantly increased!]
[Forced suppression! Continue the crackdown!]
[66%...77%...99%...100%]
[Hack successful! Re-entering the enemy's database! Establishing our firewall! Blocking the enemy's access!]
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Zhuo Yuanming immediately ordered, "Copy all of their data!"
[Starting data copying and transfer!]
Large chunks of data were transmitted back by the strong artificial intelligence, and everyone immediately began to analyze them.
During this period, the material information and dark matter data collected by the water droplets were also transmitted back one by one.
However, the water droplets that entered the other's world were also destroyed by the other during this period.
However, it's all worth it. Once you have the other party's data and information, you can plan countermeasures. This is the battle between technological civilizations.
If we don't fight, we won't fight; but if we do, we'll kill them!
While Zhuo Yuanming and others were analyzing the data, the civilization on that metal planet couldn't sit still any longer.
"Oh no! We've been kicked out of the database! We're doomed!"
"Damn it, how can they be so strong? We couldn't even get infiltrated, but they managed to infiltrate us instead!"
"We're in a passive position now. By the time we regain access, all the data inside will probably have been wiped out!"
One by one, they panicked and ran away without thinking.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die! The enemy is definitely near our planet, let's attack directly!"
A metal figure spoke.
The other metal beings nodded in agreement; they naturally understood the seriousness of the situation and knew they had to retaliate as soon as possible.
How do we track down their whereabouts?
The lead metal figure pondered for a moment and said, "Activate the gamma-ray burst and strike indiscriminately! As long as there is any abnormality in any place, the enemy must be there!"
All the metal beings agreed to this method.
Thus, a terrifying gamma-ray burst was brewing once again, and this time the gamma-ray burst was even more terrifying in energy and had a wider range, enough to penetrate a distance of a whole light-year!
