One month is not long. But in such a tense environment, the days are like years. When the month was over, the investigation around was also in the middle stage, and no discovery was made. At the same time, Yan Xia asked Ella to explore Proxima Centauri and found that there was only a narrow channel between Proxima b and Proxima c. Outside this channel, the civilization on Proxima b will not set foot, and even their warships are on the surface of the planet. After reaching astronomical units around the planet, it is completely blank. "This civilization is like an ant with a circle drawn on it." "Although it can see and walk outside the circle, the smell of ink makes it disgusted and afraid, so it stays in this circle." This is Yan Xia's evaluation of this civilization. "Ella, what do you think the level of this civilization is?" After a month of observation, they also learned more information.
Through the speed of the spacecraft, its energy use, and the speed of development, all aspects are comprehensively evaluated. "Around level ." "This is an extremely powerful civilization, and it may have developed for tens of thousands of years." "From the number of spacecraft, they also have a very large population, at least more than 10 billion." The difference of every level of civilization is a 10-fold difference in total energy. Strictly speaking, Yan Xia's fleet plus the current Baiyan tribe will develop for about 100 years to reach level after full technology sharing. This civilization is much stronger than Yan Xia's current fleet. Originally, Yan Xia was going to retreat first. But after discovering this feature of this civilization, he planned to observe for a while. "We should be able to simulate the appearance of the spacecraft of this civilization." "We need to enter the interior of this civilization and obtain information about it." ... Half a month later, a spacecraft with a square box in front and dozens of tubular independent thrusters in the back, like a steel jellyfish, headed towards the civilization. After 40 days of sailing, it arrived in outer space of Proxima c. And then it was destroyed before it got close. Almost within the next two days, the route between Proxima b and Proxima c was closed. The light in the dark part of the planet disappeared, and the defense warships in the outer space of the two planets began to shut down. Day 3. A half-meter-diameter robot spider landed in an uninhabited area somewhere on Proxima c, surrounded by dilapidated industrial garbage, and hundreds of robots were processing the garbage.
Because of the existence of civilization here, it is not as cold as originally thought. After injecting a large amount of greenhouse gases, this planet has become habitable. The robot does not have a human appearance, only a simple box-like shell, and then extends two mechanical arms to clamp garbage. They float in the air through electromagnetic force and can complete the calculation of dense and heavy objects. The robot spider jumped on a garbage disposal robot, drilled into its body through the gap in the shell, and then disassembled its core for transformation. The garbage robot fell from the air, as if it was scrapped. There was no creature to take care of it, and the other robots were also handling their own affairs. These machines obviously did not have high intelligence. When the robot spider finished a circuit board inside the garbage disposal robot, it dug out its own main control chip and welded it on. The garbage disposal robot began to wake up. It disassembled the robot spider into countless parts and mixed them into the garbage. Then it began to work like other garbage disposal robots. This lasted for a week. The garbage disposal robot slowly approached the edge of the entire garbage dump. It saw the life of this world. Their bodies are bulky, about two and a half meters tall, with rough skin like rocks, three pairs of rhinoceros-like feet, and thick trunks parallel to the ground like earth animals. There is no tail, and the body is not long horizontally, which seems a bit cramped. In front of the body is a huge tumor-like head with ten pairs of bone spurs. There is only one eye on the head with a diameter of more than half a meter, which is only slightly larger than that of humans. Vision does not seem to be their main sense. From their shoulders grow a pair of secondary limbs with only grasping ability, and the real main limbs are four flexible tentacles growing on the chin. This creature is more like a legendary monster, but they are indeed the masters of this planet. Like the Hundred Eyes, they grow beyond the aesthetic limits of humans. Their mouths are the most human-like part, with fangs like mantis mouthparts, and the four flexible tentacles are more like the pliers at the mouth of the shoe to assist in eating, but with evolution, they have assumed more important functions. The robot listened to the sounds made by these creatures. Unlike their appearance, the sounds of these creatures are very rhythmic and light with strong penetration. And the whole is in the ultrasonic range, reaching a high frequency that human ears cannot hear. None of these intelligent creatures noticed that there was a robot observing them in this garbage dump. They walked back and forth, like human society with extremely high complexity. The robot collected these things, and then transmitted them to the universe with light as the information medium, and finally received and analyzed by Ella. "Light can convey more complex information than sound." "Through analysis, I have mastered the language of this civilization, and now translate it for you, Yan Xia." Yan Xia was lying on a massage chair, enjoying the massage from the mechanical arm of the massage chair. Ella played the information she received. "Have you heard that we found traces of alien civilizations and shot down their spacecraft." "Nonsense, I was close at the time, and the spacecraft just deviated from its orbit due to an accident."
"That was just an alien civilization imitating the spacecraft we made, just to blend in with us." "Is there really an alien civilization?" "The universe is so big, how could there be only one civilization like ours? There must be one." "If there is a civilization higher than ours, we must hide ourselves and not let the higher civilization find us." "No, is it possible that the higher civilization has already... Have they discovered us? What will they do? " "Don't worry, the top leaders haven't sent any news yet, maybe it's just a misunderstanding." "According to existing theories, the universe is a battlefield, all civilizations are hostile to each other, and they are all hiding like us. If a civilization is discovered, the advanced civilization will definitely not tolerate the inferior civilization and will directly use weapons to destroy the civilization." "That's right, as long as we continue to hide, we won't be discovered by alien civilizations. We are still too weak now, and we need to develop, and develop to the limit..." "In these words, Yan Xia felt a sense of familiarity. "Dark Forest Law?" Ella nodded. "Yes, this civilization seems to have been developing secretly, and doesn't want to be discovered and destroyed by alien civilizations." "They shrink their warships on the surface of the planet and their previous reactions are mostly because of this consensus." Yan Xia felt a sense of wonder. It seems like a combination of fiction and reality. There is a saying that reality is more magical than imagination. He laughed. "Ella, maybe we can conquer this civilization."
