Earth Era

The communications soldier went out after reporting to General Emerk. General Emerk looked at Xiao Yun again: "Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

"Ideas..." Xiao Yun said while thinking, "I agree with the inferences he reported to you. I also believe that this kind of flickering is caused by the obstruction of certain objects. This kind of flickering has never appeared in the Laqa galaxy before. It flickers, but it appears now... Then it seems obvious that it is the demons existing in the Raqqa galaxy that block the radiation of the star."

"What are they doing in the Raqqa galaxy?" General Emerk murmured to himself, "Blocking the light of stars must require an extremely large number of robots to work together. This means, It's a big move and I wonder what their intentions were."

"Maybe you should consult your staff team." Xiao Yun said, "I don't know how to fight. I can't judge the enemy's intentions."

"But the enemies are not humans. They are most likely infinitely replicating robots." General Emerk looked deeply at Xiao Yun. "You are an expert in artificial intelligence. I want to hear your opinion."

Xiao Yun hesitated and said: "There is too little information available, so I have no way to judge. But I have a principle to tell you, that is, all actions of the robot can be copied infinitely, and all behaviors are based on the programs that have been edited internally. , at the same time, all these actions and behaviors must be based on one purpose, which is to copy themselves faster and better. Robots will not do meaningless things, everything they do is for this purpose. In other words, The actions they are taking at this moment must also be to copy themselves faster and better. As for the star being blocked, I believe this is just a side effect. I think you might be able to think about it based on this premise."

General Emerk thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "You can go out first."

"Okay general, goodbye." Xiao Yun bowed deeply to General Emerk and walked out of the general's office.

This conversation with General Emerk not only did not relax Xiao Yun's mind, but made Xiao Yun feel even heavier. There are too many unknowns and mysteries plaguing Xiao Yun, and worries about the future always linger in Xiao Yun's mind and refuse to leave. This made Xiao Yun's steps a little heavy.

A logistics officer walked up to Xiao Yun, arranged a place for Xiao Yun to stay, and informed Xiao Yun of his subsequent arrangements. After doing these things, the logistics officer left, and Xiao Yun came to the collective restaurant of the Earth-class spacecraft alone, intending to have something to eat here.

The restaurant was full of soldiers wearing straight military uniforms. Because it was rest time, the soldiers also put aside their usual seriousness and kept joking with each other. The restaurant was full of laughter, and it seemed that only Xiao Yun was the one. He looked worried.

"They probably don't know what they are about to face..." Xiao Yun thought silently, "After this expedition to the Raqqa galaxy, I wonder how many of the people sitting here will be able to return to the solar system alive... …”

Regardless of whether the things that exist in the Raqqa Galaxy are infinitely replicating robots, this trip to the Raqqa Galaxy will definitely not go smoothly. This battle is bound to be brutal. Even if humans send Earth-class spaceships, Xiao Yun still doesn't think humans are sure of victory.

After all, those things destroyed five Taishan-class spacecraft and a large scientific research ship in a very short period of time, so fast that those spacecraft had no time to escape.

If there is a war, people will inevitably die. And if Xiao Yun remembers correctly, since human civilization stepped out of the solar system until now, except for some small-scale battles against interstellar pirates, there have been larger-scale battles that can be called wars. nothing.

"Hey..." Xiao Yun sighed silently, ate the rest of the food on the plate, and then turned around and left.

Time passed quickly, a month passed by in a hurry, and the preparations before departure were completed. There are a total of 2,216 combat spacecraft of all levels, up to 100 heavy supply spacecraft, and ten logistics spacecraft, as well as a total of more than 3 million soldiers, scholars, logistics personnel, Medical personnel and others have all gathered around the Earth-class spacecraft.

General Emerk issued the order to set off, and more than two thousand spacecraft began to accelerate together. After leaving Sirius for a certain distance, the super-light voyage started, and these spacecraft disappeared from the visible universe together.

What awaits Xiao Yun and everyone in the spacecraft will be a long journey of fifteen years. The rest of the people also need to undertake various duty tasks, which means that they cannot hibernate forever, but Xiao Yun is different. Xiao Yun does not undertake a specific task, which means that Xiao Yun can hibernate until he reaches his destination. If something happens during the voyage and Xiao Yun needs to come forward, the staff in the spacecraft will naturally wake up Xiao Yun.

The huge fleet left the Sirius Galaxy in this way, but the tens of billions of humans living in the Sirius Galaxy knew nothing about it. They were still continuing their lives. They would never have thought that the Earth-class spacecraft that had brought long-term peace to the Sirius galaxy and surrounding important waterways had left quietly.

"I hope the departure of the Earth-class spaceship will not be known by those damn interstellar pirates." Xiao Yun thought silently, "I also hope...this expedition to the Raqqa galaxy can deal with those demons."

The time for hibernation has arrived. Xiao Yun, who was lying in the hibernation cabin, had this thought in his mind, and then the anesthetic gas was released. After a while, Xiao Yun fell into the deepest sleep.

Time passed and the sea of ​​stars changed. When Xiao Yun regained consciousness again, fifteen years had passed. This voyage was as peaceful as ever. There were no accidents or mishaps during the journey. Everything was as peaceful as if it had just been one night and just a sleep.

But Xiao Yun knew that many things were different from before. The nearly thirty light-year span of time and space has brought about a starry sky that is completely different from the Sirius galaxy or the solar system. There are still many stars in the sky, but they are all unfamiliar. No, they are strange to others, but not to Xiao Yun. Because just a few short decades ago, Xiao Yun came here.

This sky full of stars witnessed the tragedy that happened in the Raqqa galaxy, witnessed Xiao Yun's hasty escape, and also witnessed the destruction of the previous five Taishan-class spacecraft and the scientific research spacecraft. But Xiao Yun doesn't know what they will witness next. Xiao Yun hopes that what they will witness is victory and celebration, instead of death and weapons.

More than two thousand spacecrafts just stayed quietly tens of billions of kilometers away from Raqqa. Although the distance is only this small, Laka Star is still invisible to the naked eye. It was too bleak and too small.

Many detectors have been launched into the Raqqa galaxy. Before they send back further information about the Raqqa galaxy, the fleet will choose to stay on guard in place and will not enter the Raqqa galaxy rashly.

In addition to the detectors launched to the Raqqa galaxy, there are many detectors launched into this vast space. Interstellar warfare is a matter that relies heavily on intelligence. These detectors placed around the fleet are the source of intelligence for the fleet. No matter whether the enemy chooses a sneak attack or an open attack, they cannot escape the detection of the detector.

Of course, in addition to serving as intelligence collectors, those detectors also undertake another task, which is to collect possible spacecraft or fragments of unknown creatures in the Raqqa galaxy around the Raqqa galaxy. The five Taishan-class spacecraft and the scientific research ship must have had a fierce battle with the unknown creatures in the Raqqa galaxy before they were destroyed, and since the battle took place, there must be debris. By analyzing those fragments, General Emerk will be able to obtain a lot of intelligence.

But the subsequent development was quite unexpected. In the more than half a month since arriving in the Raqqa galaxy, the fleet has launched hundreds of thousands of detectors and searched tens of billions of kilometers of space, but not even a single fragment has been found.

Strictly speaking, the fleet did discover some things, but those things were all less than a few thousandths of a millimeter in diameter. Although they could be distinguished from ordinary interstellar dust through sophisticated detection instruments, they were indeed It proved that a war did take place here, but...where did those big fragments go?

There is no debris surrounding the Raqqa system. The probe launched to the Larqqa Galaxy also found no debris inside the Larqqa Galaxy. Not only were they unable to find any fragments, they were not even able to find any of the unknown life forms that were almost certain to exist in the Raqqa galaxy, not a single one.

The Laka Galaxy seems to have been cleaned most thoroughly. Except for the Laka Star and its only planet, there is nothing else here. No alien monsters, no shipwrecks, no human corpses... nothing. Everything was as clean as if all the previous experiences were just a dream.

The Laca galaxy still maintains its calmness that has lasted for billions of years, as if it has never changed.

"Then let the robot land on the planet and take a look. It's impossible for those alien monsters to leave no traces." General Emerk said. (To be continued ~^~)
