When executing the deception plan, people considered many unexpected situations, including the scam being discovered, including the Moyun Litar civilization's spacecraft taking the initiative to conduct force tests, etc.
But no matter what, people cannot consider the current situation.
Although you have confirmed the authenticity of the other party, you are still trying to propose a deal to stay in the solar system and mine minerals?
What kind of civilization is this? A civilization that wants money rather than life?
But soon, Zhao Changxing realized another possibility. That is, this request might also be a kind of test.
Maybe the controller of the spaceship of the Moyun Litar civilization is still not 100% sure of the authenticity of the fake spaceship he built, so he hopes to use this method to observe his own reaction to further determine the authenticity.
.
Under the current situation, Zhao Changxing is unable to determine which possibility it is. But it doesn't really matter, because no matter which possibility it is, this behavior will actually have the effect of testing one's own reality.
If one's side does not respond well, then one's side is very likely to be seen through by the other side.
Zhao Changxing was thinking quickly.
If it is a true fourth-level civilization, if this spaceship really has the strength to survive the indiscriminate bombardment of human civilization, if we can really easily destroy the spaceship of the Moyun Litar civilization,
So, what should be our own logic? Faced with this unreasonable request, what will our reaction be?
In particular, the behavior of this "fourth-level civilization" must conform to the "personality" established in the previous conversation, and one's side cannot really go to war with the other party.
Zhao Changxing raised his head.
"Execute plan B."
"yes."
"Dwarf planet No. 9, 6.5 kilometers underground, has a total hydrogen bomb yield of 3.56 billion tons tnt."
"Detonate!"
"yes!"
A message that was specially disguised and mixed with a lot of background noise, and could not be seen as a detonation signal no matter where you looked at it, was launched from this "Level 4 Civilization" spacecraft.
At this moment, the spacecraft of the Moyun Litar civilization is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Sedna star. And in that direction, the closest to their spacecraft is dwarf planet No. 9.
The distance between the two sides is approximately 46 million kilometers.
After a communication delay of about two and a half minutes, for some unknown reason, an indescribably violent explosion suddenly occurred on dwarf planet No. 9.
Endless mountain rock fragments, debris, dust, etc., accompanied by this explosion, suddenly rushed into the sky at extremely high speeds.
The speed of these debris was so fast that it even broke away from the gravity of dwarf planet No. 9 and rushed directly into interstellar space. A mountain with a height of more than 3,000 meters near the explosion site was almost flattened.
The entire planet almost trembled under this violent explosion. As a huge amount of material was blasted into space - a rough estimate, it may even be as high as billions to tens of billions of tons. Under the powerful reaction,
Under the push, its orbit around the sun was almost completely changed. Its rotation speed was even slowed down by more than ten minutes.
If measured by the standards of interstellar warfare, there is no doubt that this is definitely a star-destroying level explosion!
When Villagash received the relevant information about this explosion, he felt a little baffled.
He didn't know why the planet closest to him suddenly exploded without warning, and the explosion was so violent.
Because this explosion occurred underground on the planet, and there was no warning when the explosion occurred, and we did not observe it in advance, so he could not even determine the type of this explosion.
But the next moment, a piece of information arrived, and Villagash's heart immediately became cold.
A chill spread throughout his limbs.
The content of that message was very simple.
"Sorry, the genes of your civilized creatures are too despicable, and we have no interest in taking you as a slave. Now, before we are unwilling to cause more casualties, please leave this galaxy immediately."
The explosion on the dwarf planet is a threat and a warning!
Obviously, under the sight of our own surveillance, although the spacecraft of the 17th level civilization still seemed to be orbiting the planet very slowly, seemingly without any movement, they were completely unaware of it.
, sent an understatement to the dwarf planet closest to itself!
This blow almost permanently changed the orbit and attitude of the planet!
If this blow was not aimed at the dwarf planet, but at the spacecraft he was riding on, what would be the consequences?
The most frightening thing is that this kind of attack method has almost no warning, is completely unable to detect any signs, and is ten thousand times more sophisticated than the most advanced sneak attack method. This means that if the other side is willing, one's own side will have no chance at all.
A means of resistance!
Villagash shuddered and almost didn't dare to think about it.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have much ill intentions.
The other party did not directly destroy the weak local civilization. When facing one's own, it hit a planet as a warning instead of directly destroying one's own. This is understandable.
It fits their style of doing things very well.
Except for Villagash, some of the other senior management of the spacecraft were trembling with fear after seeing the disaster that the dwarf planet suffered.
Under their legs, the eight soft feet like octopus limbs that support the body, and the eight equally soft tentacles at the end of their arms, all have a dark yellow color at this moment.
This is a sign of insufficient blood supply to the extremities of the limbs. This is a typical sign of extremely fearful creatures in Moyun Litar civilization.
"Captain, captain, let's go quickly, let's go quickly! Let's go quickly before this civilization has the intention to kill us!"
Villagash's whole body was cold, and he felt boundless despair surrounding him.
The last glimmer of hope in his heart had long since disappeared.
Life is still there.
Compared with life, returning to the main body of civilization empty-handed does not seem to be an unacceptable consequence.
He didn't think so before. But after seeing the power of level 17 civilization and the disaster that the dwarf planet suffered, his thoughts changed quietly.
But, but...
"How to go? How to go!"
Villagash cried out in despair: "Have you forgotten? Our spaceship only has one-way fuel. If we don't get fuel from this galaxy, how can we go back?"
The vast distance spanning more than 8 light years has almost exhausted the antimatter energy stored in the Okaro armed mining spacecraft.
The original plan was to mine "superion metal" in this star system while building some fusion reactors or solar devices to produce antimatter and reserve energy for return. But now, the plan has been disrupted.
The little energy reserve that is left now can accelerate the Okaro spacecraft to a speed of one thousand kilometers per second. If you want to rely on this speed to return to the Lalande 21185 system, the time required will be as high as
More than 2500 years old.
This still does not take into account the resource consumption of the spacecraft's internal life support system.
Now, I can't leave no matter what.
"Now, our only way to survive is to tell the truth about our difficulties. I pray that this advanced civilization really has the characteristics of a benevolent civilization and can let us live..."
Now, Villagash no longer dares to think too much. The only thing he hopes now is to get permission to obtain some energy for return in this star system.
As for the superionic metal, the factional struggles, and the personal future, let's put them aside for now.
"Dear advanced civilization, please forgive us for our offense.
It's not that we don't want to leave this star system now, but our spacecraft has already consumed almost all of its energy when we arrived. We don't have enough energy to return.
We pray for your mercy and ask that you allow us to stay in this star system for a period of time to produce some antimatter energy. Once we obtain enough antimatter to return home, we will leave immediately."
This piece of information was once again presented on the large screen of the temporary command post located underground on Sedna, and was in the sight of Zhao Changxing and many high-level civilization officials.
At this moment, several high-level civilization officials burst out in anger. One official even couldn't help shouting: "What kind of third-level civilization is this! It's already a third-level civilization, and it only carries one-way fuel for interstellar voyages."
?!Do you want to be so backward!"
"Isn't it embarrassing?! You're a dignified third-level civilization, but you can't even return home?"
This is another unexpected situation that no one could have predicted.
No matter what people expected, when one's side's deception plan had been successful and the other side was determined to leave the star system, it would be unable to leave due to lack of fuel!
Under this situation, even if one's side increases the threat, even if the threat is to destroy them immediately, they cannot be allowed to leave because they simply do not have the ability to leave.
However, if the other party stays in the solar system for too long, it can almost be expected that one's own side will definitely reveal flaws.
What's fake will always be fake. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for the rest of your life.
So, what to do now?
If our side is really a fourth-level civilization, we can simply destroy them with one shot. But our side is not.
If one side allows the other side to stay, the motive of the behavior can be explained in a civilized manner, but as time goes by, the other side will definitely find the flaw, and by then, one side will also die.
We are in a dilemma. No matter what we do, there is a dead end ahead.
Could it be...that we really have to rely on our own combat spaceships to fight the enemy to the death?
Zhao Changxing sighed softly and his expression became serious again.
