I was exposed for mining on Mars

Since we have to delay preparations for building civilized ships and neutron killing, we must find a way now.

Fermat thought twice and then issued an order to the control system: "Use the advanced data encryption technology in the technology library to send a message to the other party. The content of the message is as follows..."

Since the other party is just a primitive civilization, it may take a long time to decipher this message. Whether the other party will agree to the content of the message is not so critical.

Fermat was still very satisfied with his plan.

Soon, a high-frequency signal sent by the Kasakuk civilization was transmitted to the battleship at the front of the United Solar System Civilization, and then after several twists and turns, it finally arrived at the combat headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is the other party's clever signal that we intercepted. It is a directional message. It should be transmitted to us by the other party. However, the method of encrypting this data is very clever, and it requires a specific key and time to crack it."

The control system has analyzed this data, but it cannot decipher this data with its computing power and speed.

Everyone in the headquarters put down what they were doing and ran over to watch.

This is a message sent to them by the enemy. What will be written in it? Everyone began to speculate.

"They must have seen our strong lineup, so they wanted to surrender and leave. Maybe they even wanted to join us." The optimistic person guessed.

"You can pull me down. If the other party wants to surrender, why do they use encrypted means to transmit information? I think they just want to test us, maybe it is a declaration of war." The main war faction said.

"What you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about why they did this? We have been confronting each other here for a while. If the other party really wants to fight, is it necessary to issue a declaration of war? I'm afraid they have What a conspiracy."

"What kind of conspiracy could there be? Are you preparing some super weapon or do you want to sneak attack the jump ring?"

Everyone was discussing it. Although some people's guesses were close to the truth, no one was convinced because there was no intelligence to support it.

But Luo Xiu listened to everyone's discussion. He first contacted the defenders of the jump circle and asked about the situation there.

The garrison commander did not notice anything unusual.

You must know that they not only have a large number of ships arranged there, but also have antimatter space mines and particle detectors, and they also use microscopic particle expansion to hide the surrounding environment.

If the other party can still discover them like this, then Luo Xiu will admit it.

But he had already decided that as long as there was any movement on the other side of the jump ring, they would immediately launch an attack.

Now Ferma's fleet only has tens of thousands of warships. If they dare to divide their forces now, Luo Xiu wouldn't mind destroying them all.

Although they are currently building a second jump ring, it does not mean that the previous one can be abandoned.

Each jump ring consumes a large amount of civilization resources, which cannot be wasted casually.

Not to mention that the jump ring also has important military purposes. If it is occupied by the enemy, the situation of the United Solar System Civilization will be very passive.

However, Luo Xiu just sneered at the encrypted information in front of him, and then said a number.

After testing by the control system, it turned out to be the key to this encrypted information.

As long as you have the key, the time to crack the encrypted information will be very short.

It took almost only half an hour for the control system to decipher all the encrypted information.

"I am the Ascendant of the Cruising Fleet, Councilor Ferma of the Kasakuk Civilization. I am here to solemnly warn you not to resist anymore. Your disguise is so poor in our eyes. The original civilization of the solar system, as long as you give up Proxima Centauri b and Planet C, we can let you return to the solar system."

The content of the message is short, but the tone can be heard by anyone.

The other party was so arrogant that he directly called them 'primitive civilization'.

Although this is the truth, how can anyone say a short word in front of a lame person? Doesn't this make it clear that you don't think highly of them?

And they were even asked to give up two planets.

Most of the people in the combat command room were filled with indignation, and many people even took the initiative to ask Luo Xiu to join the battle.

On the contrary, the people of Proxima Centauri are very calm, which is not to say that they have no opinions on this matter.

It's just that in their rationality, anger will not solve the problem.

Speaker Proxima Centauri said directly to Luo Xiu: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what do you think of the other party's proposal?"

"Can't you feel our emotions?" Cao Guolin asked first before Luo Xiu spoke.

Speaker of Proxima Centauri shook his head and said: "Because we Proxima Centauri people do not have the expression of emotions, so we cannot understand the meaning of emotions. However, this matter is related to the fate of our Proxima Centauri civilization. I still want to ask the Commander to Just tell me your decision."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu glanced at the piece of information again, and then said to the control system: "Help me input a piece of information, 'Mr. Fermat, please don't bluff. Even if you can kill it, this time the Kasakuk civilization will be destroyed. It will disappear in the long river of history, because the cruising fleet is no longer there, and your glory has become history'."

"What kind of text signal should I use to send it?" After the control system faithfully recorded this text, it then asked.

"Start handwriting input mode." Luo Xiu said.

"Handwriting input mode has been activated."

A virtual keyboard appeared in front of Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu expertly entered a symbol on it.

But these symbols are just a paragraph without any meaning in the eyes of the people around them.

"No need to encrypt, just send it directly to the other party." Luo Xiu said directly.

"The message has been sent. Do you want to save the communication information just entered?" the control system asked.

Luo Xiu smiled and said: "No need, this kind of writing will soon become history with the cruising fleet."

However, his words made everyone understand, that is, what Luo Xiu just wrote turned out to be a common text for the Cygnus civilization.

This shocked everyone, except the Blue Stars who were present. Although this was the fourth time they had come into contact with the cruising fleet, and the three times they were in a state of war.

But they didn't obtain any information about each other, so how did Luo Xiu master the other party's lingua franca?

No one dared to discuss this matter in front of Luo Xiu, but they all communicated with their eyes.

Only Xue He came over and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I think it is necessary to preserve the lingua franca of the cruising fleet. I believe that we will be the final winner in this war, but because of this, we must study each other's technology. If there is a library, then the lingua franca of the cruising fleet is indispensable.”

Luo Xiu thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case.

He nodded towards Xue He and said: "Don't worry, the database has the lingua franca of the cruising fleet. You can pick a few people with strong learning ability to learn it, and scientific researchers will be given priority."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, the matter was confirmed, but no one knew from beginning to end how Luo Xiu knew the lingua franca of the cruising fleet.

While Luo Xiu was already discussing post-war matters, the combat command room on Ferma's side was eerily quiet.

Fermat's robotic arm even trembled a little. He looked at the information on the control system with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How is this possible? How do people in this solar system know the lingua franca of our cruising fleet?" Ferma almost roared.

However, several combat officers around him, including Qiong Ye, had expressions of disbelief on their faces. This was completely beyond their expectations.

"Have other civilizations come into contact with them?" One of Kasakuk's combat staff whispered.

"Other civilizations? You mean other affiliated civilizations of Cygnus?"

Fermat asked, glaring at the other person.

The combat staff officer's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't help but want to take a few steps back before saying: "This is the only possibility at the moment. Our previous contacts with the opponent did not leave any traces. It cannot be caused by our side. What's the problem?"

Another operational staff officer put forward a different view: "The Cygnus cantilever is not close to the Orion cantilever, and our fleet has always been responsible for matters here, and no other civilizations have intervened. I don't think other civilizations will risk being punished. It’s dangerous to come into private contact with such a distant primitive civilization.”

"Yes, this possibility is too small, but is it possible that the crew members of our fleet left the fleet privately and were caught by the other party?" Someone else put forward a hypothesis.

Although this hypothesis is far from the truth, it gave Fermat a wake-up call.

"Control system, check for me all the members of Kasa Cook who were killed and missing in battle. I want to know their detailed records and investigate if there is anything suspicious among them." Ferma issued an order to the control system.

"Command generation successful, calculation will take ten minutes."

Ten minutes later, the sound of the control system sounded again.

"According to the investigation records of the Kasakuk civilization, in the 5312 years since the establishment of the control core, a total of 26.21 million Kasakuk members have died in battle, and 239,142 of them have their whereabouts unknown."

"It doesn't take that long. Give me nearly a hundred years of investigation, and the scope will be shortened in the process of contact with the civilization of the solar system." Ferma said.

"Yes, data is being generated."

"The number of people killed in the battle was 1.052 million, and the whereabouts of 113,112 people are unknown."

Looking at these numbers, we know that the Kasakuk civilization suffered a huge setback in its previous war with the solar system.

A total of only 200 million people died in five thousand years, and the war with the solar system accounted for half of it in just a few decades.

The whereabouts of most of the crew members are unknown. After the battleship was destroyed, they fell into the sky of the universe and were instantly frozen.

Although the Kasakuk civilization had the result of collecting the remains of its fellow tribesmen and making proper arrangements for their funerals, not all the remains could be found, which is why the current result occurred.

"Transfer all this data into my data core."

Fermat is also a mechanical ascensionist. Although the calculation speed cannot be compared with the control system, as long as the data is small enough, he can still process it quickly.

"yes."

In the virtual image controlled by the control system, a blue arc is connected to Fermat's head.

But this is just a virtual screen, just to let others understand the process.

Fermat began to browse quickly through the more than one hundred missing lists.

But after checking it thousands of times, he found nothing.

It wouldn't be such a coincidence that one of the crew members of the Kasa Cook fleet was captured by the other party, right?

But if it weren't for this reason, why would the other party use the lingua franca of the cruising fleet?

"Commander, it's useless for us to speculate here. How about asking the other party directly?" Qiong looked at Ferma's nervous expression and immediately suggested.

"Humph, will the other party tell us? And even if they tell us, can we believe it? Don't forget, we are in a state of war now." Ferma said in a deep voice.

"Why does the other party know the common language? Is it really that important?" A combat staff member whispered.

Upon hearing this, Ferma turned his mechanical body around and walked over to lift up the opponent's collar.

"How did you become a combat officer? Are you an idiot?"

He threw the man against the wall, then looked at the others and said, "Do you think so too? Huh?"

"Haven't you ever thought about it, since the other party knows the common language, who is he? Could he be very familiar with the Cygnus civilization like us? In other words, we are not facing a chief of a primitive civilization. , but higher organisms like us."

That's right, Fermat has always felt that compared to primitive civilization, the Kasaku people are advanced creatures.

To people from primitive civilizations, it doesn't matter what higher organisms do.

Just like humans wantonly slaughter other creatures without caring what they think.

But it was different now. The identity of the other party made Ferma start to guess.

He even thought that this United Solar System Civilization might be a hidden vassal civilization of the Cygnus Civilization.

The role of this civilization is to clean up traitors like Kasakuk who have broken away from the Cygnus civilization.

But he quickly gave up this idea, and then said to the control system: "Send a message to the other party, 'I don't care who you are, but if you dare to stand in front of the Kasaku people, you will only die. Get out of here. open'."

…

Luo Xiu was a little surprised when the control system received news from the Ferma fleet again.

Is this a war or a meeting? However, the anger in the message made Luo Xiu frown.

"It seems that the other party has reached the edge of losing patience."

Luo Xiu is very optimistic about this.

"This means that the other party is about to start taking action, so everyone should cheer up." Luo Xiu patted the table with his right hand and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded from the control system.

"My Lord Commander, the enemy has sent 10,000 warships and is approaching our defense line."

"Okay, after two months of confrontation, the opponent finally lost his composure and ordered all ghost battleships to enter a silent state. The first echelon of Qinhuang-class battleships prepared to face the enemy in plan B combat formation." received the message from the control system. After being prompted, Luo Xiu also quickly issued a series of combat orders.

The so-called 'silent state' in his words means invisibility. Now except for the control system, even our own warships can no longer detect traces of these ghost warships.

And now, the war has finally begun.
