The Death Knell

Originally, I should have had a good chat with Doom, and at least let him explain the recent research progress on the weaponization of Substance Zero.

But just now the Nuvali people sent a communication, saying that they had contacted an elder of the universe through an old relationship in the past, and thus traded the current action path of a team of founders.

So Su Ming was going to do things first.

The destination is a planet called Xiente, where the alien civilization is famous for its dark matter technology. Now, it may be their development and utilization of dark matter that has attracted the attention of the Celestial Group.

Speaking of dark matter research, the dark elves are indeed climbing this technology tree, and they are doing well. Their battleships are highly concealed and extremely fast, all thanks to the special dark matter engine.

But they don't even have a home planet. They are wandering and hiding in the universe. They are probably out of scale and the God Group is too lazy to care.

But this time, a civilization researching forbidden technology was discovered, and it was a civilization with a home planet, so it was about to suffer.

Dark matter is an important component of the universe. Simply speaking from a human perspective, dark matter in a broad sense refers to matter that does not emit visible light.

Then, other celestial bodies except main sequence stars are dark matter, including dead stars, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, brown dwarfs, brown stars, comets, etc. Of course, cosmic dust and interstellar gas are also dark matter.

From an energy perspective, matter that does not emit electromagnetic radiation is dark matter. They neither emit light nor block light, that is, they do not interact with other matter particles.

Their existence is only manifested through their gravitational pull, which is also the main reason why galaxies do not fall apart. In other words, they are omnipresent.

So, since dark matter exists at the level that humans can recognize, they are either matter or energy.

In short, dark matter in a broad sense represents more than half of the matter content in the universe. It cannot be directly observed, but it can interfere with the light waves or gravity emitted by stars, and its existence can be clearly felt.

Of course, this is the human dark matter hypothesis. Su Ming himself is not very interested in these things, because he has long known that there is light and darkness, and the balance of the universe is maintained by various opposing attributes. He prefers to learn from this kind of mysticism. Look at the problem from a conceptual perspective.

Therefore, he believes that playing with dark matter and dark energy will inevitably affect the balance of the universe, even if it is not sucking the blood of the universe.

It might be okay to make a small fuss, but if it really continues endlessly, sooner or later it will attract a more powerful environmentalist civilization, or the God Group will take action personally.

But Su Ming was also a little curious. What new thing did the Xiente people come up with this time that even the gods couldn't sit still?

The destination is trillions of light-years away from Nuvali's home planet, not too far, not too close, so Su Ming still arrived through sonic teleportation, at least to arrange it before the Celestial Team.

This is a dim planet. You can see the stars in this planetary system by looking up, but the light is too weak, and the size of the planet is also small enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Logically speaking, there are no conditions for the birth of life here at all, and all the planets in this planetary system should be covered with ice and snow. The fate of such a small-mass star should be to be swallowed up by other planetary systems along with the planetary system, creating a binary star state. Or simply merge into other stars.

However, Su Ming arrived in a vibrant world that was warm and comfortable. Even though it felt like a severely cloudy day on the sunny side of the planet, it was really not cold at all and even a little hot.

"An artificial planetary system, plus an artificial race, this civilization is very unnatural." Hiding in a black bush, Deathstroke planted the spider totem as an escape route. While peeping at the nearby alien buildings, he and Strangler were silently talking. communicate.

"Hey."

Strangler felt that this race might have been created by the Celestial Group, but their development direction was distorted, so the Celestial Group was coming to restart the 'laboratory' again.

"It is possible. Of course, there are too many forces that can create intelligent species, even me." Su Ming saw the pedestrians on the road. Their pace of life was not fast, because they were wearing loose robes, which obviously did not mean that they could create intelligent species. Inconvenient to move around.

The creatures here look very similar to humans, and their skin color is red. Other than that, nothing else has been discovered yet.

Marvel's humanoid aliens only come in a few colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It feels a bit like cutting corners in the design, but it actually corresponds to the colors of the Celestials themselves. In other words, there are Some kind of connection.

On the other hand, the black and white people on earth don’t know where they came from.

"There are no surveillance equipment nearby, Sheriff. The mobile signal sources are all on these alien creatures. Their information network system is very special." The adjutant sent information about off-site support. In short, it was the Sheriff's The infiltration went unnoticed.

"Very good, start strangulation." Su Ming asked the symbiote to grab his tongue to obtain information.

He is currently hiding in the back garden of a huge egg-shaped house. The species of this black shrub is unknown, but its lush branches and leaves are perfect for hiding.

After receiving the order to strangle, he suddenly shot out his tentacles, wrapped his head around the pedestrian who just passed by like a flytrap, and dragged him into the bush with a swish, followed by a sucking sound.

A few seconds later, Deathstroke, who had transformed into a red-skinned alien, patted his robe and walked out of the bush calmly, playing with a small bracelet in his hand. This was a special message. terminal.

"It always feels a bit familiar, Lieutenant. Let's hack into the Internet and collect intelligence." Su Ming looked up at the sky. Naturally, there was no sign of the Celestial Group at this time. He planned to go shopping as a local.

By devouring the local residents, Strangler completely copied the DNA of this race and learned their common sense of life. In addition, this alien speaks standard London English. Now Deathstroke is more like a local than a local.

"There is no high-value information on the Internet. This civilization's dark matter technology route is very novel, but the technological level is not very high, at least there is no space technology yet."

The adjutant answered. She searched all the information on the planet's digital network, but the results were all trivial.

These aliens developed the dark matter engine more than a hundred years ago, but that was all. At least on the bright side of the Internet, there was no news of any major technological breakthroughs, at least nothing that could lead to a purge by the Celestials. That kind of breakthrough.

"Isn't it because of the threat to the universe? Is it because of social patterns or certain ideological trends?" Su Ming tilted his head and began to walk along the street. This should be a residential area, and there were quite a few people on the road.

No abnormal thoughts were found when strangulating and eating people. These people are not believers of the ancients, nor do they have any extreme thoughts. They are the same as human beings in all aspects, but their living environment has higher technology and the labor force level is relatively high. That’s all.

Weird, but also interesting.

"How long will it take for the God Team to arrive?" Su Ming put on the information terminal and began to look for the direction of investigation.

"For about half an hour, their speed was not constant, Sheriff, and the Xiente people didn't realize that the disaster was coming at all." The adjutant replied, and she also projected a star map in the Sheriff's mind, marking the current day. The location of the planet, as well as the location and course of action of the Celestial Group.

"It's none of my business how many aliens die. I'm just curious about why the Celestial Group came here. You can continue to investigate in depth. I'll try it with my experience."
