The confidential secretary's face was filled with grief. Li Qingsong's eyes narrowed slightly. He spoke word by word, "You said that the strong core-level intelligent Scourge... is likely to chase us to the solar system?" The confidential secretary nodded. At this moment, Li Qingsong's heart was instantly filled with anger. I originally thought that your Bluetook civilization would only carry out some predatory exploitation of the solar system, but I didn't expect that you would actually bring such a trouble here! You, you deserve to die! Li Qingsong was angry for a while, but had to stop dejectedly. The entire Bluetook civilization was destroyed by me, and the few remaining people became my prisoners. How can I take revenge on them? Should we torture and kill the only remaining prisoner?
There is no point. They are already my wealth at this point, and killing them will only cause losses to myself. "How long will it take for the Omnic Scourge to catch up?" The confidential secretary shook his head: "I don't know. No one knows. But we all agree that it is very likely to come. After all, orthodox intelligent civilizations are not common in the universe. If they can find traces of an orthodox intelligent civilization, how could they let it go easily? " Li Qingsong thought quickly and continued, "As far as I know, our civilization has made a lot of attempts to unify the strong nuclear force earlier than the current stage, and has made a lot of progress. We have established the Standard Model and are relatively close to the goal of unifying the strong nuclear force. Your technology is more advanced than ours, and you will certainly go further than us on this road. And since you can become a strong nuclear civilization once you unify the strong nuclear force, why did you choose to escape instead of going all out to develop technology and fight against that intelligent machine disaster?" After all, during interstellar voyages, the material reserves are limited, and many scientific research cannot be carried out. Choosing to escape means almost losing the possibility of continuing to develop technology. The confidential secretary said solemnly: "Unifying the strong nuclear force is not as simple as you think. The reason why you think you are close to unification is simply because your research is not deep enough and you have not yet discovered the huge obstacles in the future. Our civilization once considered staying in the galaxy to develop technology rather than fleeing, but a team of scientific experts evaluated that the possibility of us breaking through to become a strong nuclear civilization is almost non-existent, at least within a thousand years. At the same time, even if we become a strong nuclear civilization, there is still a long way to go from theory to practical application. On the whole, it will take us at least two thousand years to have the strength to fight against that intelligent mechanical disaster, and we must also go all out and reduce internal friction. We didn't think the omnic scourge would arrive so late. We can only escape. It is precisely because time is urgent that after discovering the existence of your civilization in the solar system, we have become more determined to come to the solar system. Because we originally planned to capture your civilization to help us collect resources for the next voyage. In this way, we can set sail and escape as quickly as possible." Li Qingsong did not comment and continued, "The data from your civilization shows that the flying speed of the Strong Nuclear-class Intelligent Scourge fleet can be very close to the speed of light, while your fleet's sailing speed is only 3% of the speed of light. The gap is so huge, are you sure you can escape?"
"When we were fleeing our home star system, we disguised a group of fleets to flee in another direction to provide cover. At the same time, our main fleet also deliberately optimized the thrusters to reduce the brightness of the tail flame as much as possible and improve the directionality. In the solar system, we plan to camouflage again. As for whether it will work or not... that is not something we can decide. We only know that if we escape, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we don't escape, we will be doomed." Li Qingsong sneered: "You have always believed that it will chase to the solar system. It seems that you have no confidence in the disguise you made in the mother star system." The confidential secretary sighed again: "Time is urgent. In such a hurry, it would be great if we can delay a little. How dare we expect too much? However, we intend to do a serious job of camouflage in the solar system." Li Qingsong fell into a moment of thought. Based on the interrogation of this confidential secretary and many other personnel, as well as the intelligence obtained from Bluetook's many spaceships, Li Qingsong knew that there was a great possibility that the intelligent mechanical disaster might really come to the solar system. I'm afraid I won't have the strength to fight it in the short term. Maybe I will have to run away too. But how to run and how to run can be planned carefully to increase the success rate as much as possible. In any case, we must first digest and absorb the technology from the Blueprint civilization, master a series of technologies such as controlled nuclear fusion and high-speed ion propulsion technology, and truly possess the ability to travel between stars. Now I can’t even leave the solar system. Li Qingsong continued: "You are just an electrically weak civilization. How do you know so much information?" “While exploring the surrounding galaxies, we discovered the remains of a long-extinct civilization. It took a lot of effort to obtain this information. If not for this, we would not have been able to immediately determine that the omnic Scourge was targeting us when we discovered the alien spaceship, and then immediately make the decision to flee." Li Qingsong did not dwell on this question, but said: "Introduce the parasitic disasters and microbial disasters that you know about." The Blueprint civilization knows a total of four types of natural disasters. The mechanical disaster and the infected disaster have been preliminarily introduced, and now there are only parasitic disasters and microbial disasters left. "Parasitic disasters and infectious disasters have certain similarities. They are both silent infections at the beginning. However, the purpose of parasitic disasters is not to seize genes, but to control the individuals of this civilization. Complete control from mind to body, and then complete replacement. This individual looks exactly the same as the original one, even his behavior and tone of voice are exactly the same, but his core has completely become a parasite. Under these circumstances, the parasite quietly produces young and spreads widely, infecting more individuals until all intelligent life in the entire civilization is infected. " Thinking of the situation where all human civilization was infected and all his relatives, friends, and classmates had their "souls replaced", Li Qingsong felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. "What is the purpose of the parasite parasitizing intelligent life? It can't be for reproduction, right?" "Of course not." The confidential secretary shook his head: "There may be life forms in the universe that specialize in parasitizing other organisms to maintain the reproduction of their own population, but that can only be called a disease, not a parasitic disaster. The information we have obtained shows that in parasitic disasters, the purpose of the parasites in parasitizing other civilized intelligent life is to seize everything from this civilization. All the wealth of this civilization, including all resources, technological creations, and most importantly, scientific and technological data, scientific and technological thinking, culture, art, customs, etc., will be taken away by them. The pathogens of the parasites are intentionally spread in the universe by parasitic disasters. Once the parasites mature, they inherently know how to communicate with the mother civilization.
They will try to return to the parent civilization, take on the appearance of the life form of the parasitic civilization, use the technological data and scientific thinking of the parasitic civilization, and contribute to the development of the parent civilization. "
