"That……"
Lü Yongchang had already stood up from his chair.
He frowned and asked urgently, "What exactly does the cleaner want to do?"
Silicon Ray's tone was quite playful.
Before this, I was quite curious about how that two-dimensional being called "Painting" described pastoral life.
Lu Yongchang paused for a moment, then responded to the manta ray with the painting's original words: "For the safety of this universe, they are trying to stop the dangerous actions of the Cleaners civilization..."
Before it could finish speaking, the manta ray's mouth opened suddenly, and even its massive body began to twitch slightly.
It was obvious that the other person was laughing out loud.
Did you believe it?
"No...of course I didn't believe it, it's just..."
Fortunately, they have some brains.
[These old fogies from the pastoral school actually said something like that... Pshaw!]
From the tone of the silicone ray, Lü Yongchang could clearly sense the deep disdain.
What... exactly is going on?
For a moment, Lü Yongchang's curiosity was at its peak.
After venting his anger, Silicon Ray calmed down and began to explain the "Enroget Civilization" in detail.
The Cleaners civilization's creation of the Ring-Universe Particle Accelerator is indeed true, but its purpose is not to destroy this universe.
They are attempting to briefly recreate the cosmic evolution at the moment of the Big Bang by raising the energy levels of particles.
[This will advance us to Level Nine Civilization.]
Of course, before that, the Cleaners civilization needs a "basic" understanding of dimensions, which is what all Level 8 civilizations do.
So here's the question.
How can one quickly grasp those elusive dimensions?
The answer, naturally, is those dimensional beings from the pastoral realm.
Thus, more than one large-scale war broke out between the two sides; calling them mortal enemies... wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Lü Yongchang suddenly realized: "You mean...that pastoral civilization is actually a victim?"
Of course not.
Silicon Ray sneered: "Anyone could be a victim, except for those old geezers!"
Lü Yongchang: ? ? ?
Is there really that much resentment?
Now that you've encountered that two-dimensional creature called "Painting," you should understand how powerfully three-dimensional space assimilates other dimensions.
In order to survive, those dimensional beings began to attempt to reboot the universe, restoring it to a pastoral era where all eleven dimensions were fully extended.
[Nowadays, almost all civilizations are three-dimensional beings. What do you think would happen if we entered such a higher-dimensional spacetime?]
Lu Yongchang felt a chill run down his spine.
"Then why don't the neutral faction stop the actions of the pastoral faction?"
He thought for a moment and immediately noticed the contradiction: "If the universe returns to a pastoral era, it wouldn't be a good thing for the neutral faction, would it?"
[It's not a big problem.]
Silicon Ray responded nonchalantly: "The higher-ups believe the 'pastoral faction' can't possibly complete this plan."
[Besides... aren't there sanitation workers leading the way in civility?]
Lu Yongchang's lips twitched.
Here comes the classic statement from the neutral faction!
If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. What does it have to do with me, the neutral party, if the cleaners and the pastoralists fight to the death?
By joining the silicon-based civilization, you have implicitly joined the neutral faction.
As long as you avoid the cleaners and the pastoral types, you can go to any corner of the universe.
[Just like the Tenth Empire, which has already left the Laniakea Supercluster and is heading towards the Centaurus Supercluster along the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall.]
[We've reached the Andromeda Galaxy; it's time for me to leave.]
As it spoke, the silicon ray slowly swam away from the human fleet.
By the way, judging from your technological level, you're almost at the level of a seventh-tier civilization.
[Friendly reminder: You could try looking for two large black holes that are about to merge; this would be beneficial for you.]
Before Lü Yongchang could reply, the massive silicon ray vanished into the visible universe.
Tachyon radar shows that it is flying toward the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy at a speed of more than c.
...
At the edge of the sparsely populated Andromeda Galaxy, there are a few small star systems scattered about.
Under Zero's control, the human fleet slowly flew towards the nearest star system—at this point, the fleet desperately needed some time to rest and recuperate.
Inside the command center of the Earth.
"Yongchang, do you think the claims of the [Silicon Ray Civilization] are credible?"
Fang Xu was the first to break the silence in the command center.
Lü Yongchang nodded, then shook his head: "Hard to say."
"At least compared to the [painting], the [Silicon Ray Civilization]'s words are more credible."
"However, there are still many doubts."
"The Cleaners civilization wants to advance to a Level 9 civilization; the Pastoralists hope the universe will return to a pastoral era. In a sense, they are also pursuing the path to a Level 9 civilization."
"What about the neutrals?"
"Don't neutral level eight civilizations want to advance to level nine?"
"What are they doing now? And what role are they playing in this war?"
"These are all unknown situations."
The exchange with the [Silicon Ray Civilization] not only failed to resolve his confusion, but also exacerbated the doubts in Lü Yongchang's mind.
These advanced civilizations...
What kind of weird thing are they up to?
As human civilization continues to advance, things that were once unnecessary to consider have gradually become pressing issues!
"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Fang Xu glanced at the holographic projection beside him, his face full of helplessness, "When the [Silicon Ray Civilization] left, they didn't take the Empire's home planet with them."
"What the hell?!" Lü Yongchang jumped up from his chair.
He looked at the Imperial homeworld fortress still trapped in the microcosm, and his head suddenly felt a size larger!
"A tachyon message has been received from the [Silicon Ray Civilization]." A synthesized electronic voice interrupted their conversation.
Looking at the few lines of text that appeared in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang suddenly fell silent.
The information is very simple.
Due to the [Ten Descendants], the Imperial homeworld fortress hopes to return to the Tenth Empire, but... Silicon Ray does not want to leave the Andromeda Galaxy.
Therefore, it chose to leave the Imperial homeworld fortress to the "Enroget Civilization". At the same time, it hoped that the "Enroget Civilization" could set off as soon as possible after becoming a Level 7 civilization to fulfill the Imperial homeworld fortress request.
Lu Yongchang frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
No wonder the [Silicon Ray Civilization] left so hastily, and even gave some inexplicable hints before leaving...
Since the outbreak of the crisis, he has been on edge.
The accumulated fatigue finally erupted at this moment.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples: "Never mind, we can discuss these things later."
"Let's find a star to do some simple repairs first."
"In this process, we will try to find binary black hole systems that are about to merge."
"The words spoken by the [Silicon Ray Civilization] before they left are likely to be highly authentic."
