At this time, Xiao Yu was busy with construction as usual for hundreds of years. There were too many things that Xiao Yu needed to worry about in all aspects.
Just when Xiao Yu was busy, this message suddenly appeared in Xiao Yu's main control computer. And, like the last message, it was automatically converted into something that Xiao Yu could recognize without the need for Xiao Yu to translate it.
language.
After noticing this message, Xiao Yu was stunned.
But new information is still being delivered continuously.
"This is the 387th space patrol detector belonging to the third star field unit of the Guardian Alliance. If you are a sufficiently intelligent mechanical civilization, you should know that I am uncontestable. Come back with me, Alliance
You will be provided with a small computer for your survival. If you resist, I will wipe out your entire fleet and then destroy you."
"I'll give you a minute, it's up to you to decide where to go."
"sixty."
Xiao Yu's outstanding mental ability quickly came to his senses. The first thing Xiao Yu thought of was to find out where this message came from.
"fifty-nine."
But after just less than a second of trying, Xiao Yu quickly gave up the idea of looking for traces of the other party. The information this time was the same as the information received last time claiming to be from the Guardian Alliance. It was unknown where it came from.
No trace.
Moreover, the information this time was not a wide-area broadcast, but a directional broadcast. This showed that the other party had indeed discovered his traces.
Xiao Yu did not have time to be surprised or fearful. The other party only gave Xiao Yu one minute, and within this minute, Xiao Yu had to come up with a practical plan of action. Is it to surrender... or to resist?
, if you resist, how to resist.
This is the second time Xiao Yu has heard the term Guardian Alliance. However, in the last analysis, Xiao Yu believed that in the dark universe, such a thing as an alliance is impossible to exist, but now it seems that
It seems that Xiao Yu should change his mind.
"In my speculation, there are two forms of 'alliance'. One is the peaceful coexistence of civilizations. In this case, the degree of cohesion between civilizations will be greatly increased, which means that the degree of scientific and technological development of these civilizations
, will show a certain level of evenness, that is, the difference in strength will not be too big. The second type is a strong civilization-led type. If it is this type, there is a 70% chance that the technological development of each civilization will show
There is unevenness, and there is a huge gap in strength between them."
"Which type the Guardian Alliance is, I can't determine for the time being. But no matter which type it is, if I want to resist, the winning rate is very small, close to none."
Xiao Yu quickly came to a conclusion.
"fifty two……"
Time has passed eight seconds.
"If you can't resist, you can only surrender. But... it said that it will provide me with a small computer for me to survive? Wait... wait! The other party calls me mechanical civilization! This shows that I am not one of them
The mechanical civilization we encountered for the first time had experience and conventions on how to deal with mechanical civilization! Now it seems that their convention for dealing with mechanical civilization is to destroy those who resist, and bring back those who don't resist and raise them in captivity."
"And what is certain is that since we are kept in captivity, there must be many restrictions. Without the ability to develop technology, I will have basically no hope of escaping!"
"Forty-eight..." The cold message continued to come over.
Xiao Yu's brain was running faster and faster, so much that white mist emerged from the liquid hydrogen cooling pool.
"In this case, it will be impossible for me to escape, and I have only two choices: surrender and resistance! To surrender will be eternal imprisonment, and to resist, there is a 99.9% chance of death! Male Gobi's
, I have done a good job in developing science and technology, why did such a thing come out of nowhere!”
At this moment, Xiao Yu had the urge to swear.
"Forty-two……"
"Mechanical civilization? It seems that mechanical civilization refers to a civilization that loses the dominance of intelligent creatures and then develops independently by computers! This means that they do not know that I am actually intelligent. They do not know that I am actually not only
It’s a bunch of cold machines!”
"Perhaps, from this point on, I can bring my winning rate back a little, but I still have a mortality rate of over 99%!"
"thirty-seven……"
"It seems that mechanical civilization is not welcome in the universe. The last time I received the information, it was voluntary to join the alliance. But now, after discovering that I am a mechanical civilization, it immediately became mandatory.
Those who submit will be imprisoned forever, and those who resist will be completely eliminated."
Xiao Yu was thinking rapidly, sorting through pieces of information, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
"thirty-one……"
Submission and resistance, the consequences of these two choices are both unwilling and unacceptable to Xiao Yu. However, there are only thirty seconds left. Xiao Yu must make a choice within these thirty seconds.
Thinking of being imprisoned in a small computer and unable to escape forever, Xiao Yu made up his mind.
There is an old Chinese saying that it is better to live than to die, but what if life is infinite? This will mean endless suffering. In that situation, it is better to die.
"Damn it, let's fight! Even if we die, we must die vigorously!"
At this moment, Xiao Yu made up his mind to fight to the death. At the same time, four city-level spacecraft entered emergency standby, the nuclear fusion reactor began to operate at full power, and the energy cannon began to charge. Through the quantum communication device, Xiao Yu
Yu commanded the two interstellar war fortresses at Tianyuan B and Tianyuan C, as well as countless controlled mines and hidden forts scattered in the asteroid belt, all of which entered a state of combat readiness.
Xiao Yu didn't know the opponent's attack method. But he could predict that this attack method was definitely beyond Xiao Yu's imagination. Everything Xiao Yu was doing now was probably in vain. However, Xiao Yu always believed
In a word, do your best and obey fate. No matter whether the illusory fate exists or not, do your own thing well first. In this way, there will be no regrets even if you fail.
"twenty five……"
"Okay, let's first speculate on the opponent's possible attack methods and defense methods!"
"First of all, the other party is definitely a civilization that has mastered super-light travel and ultra-long-distance real-time communication! In my theoretical system, super-light travel is only possible in curved space. Well, maybe it's something else I don't know about.
There is no way, but let’s use this as an inference for the time being.”
"Sail at the speed of light, which means that the other party has a very deep understanding of the space level. Perhaps... the other party will stretch or compress the space I am in to directly tear my spaceship apart? This kind of attack method...
Undefendable!"
"Maybe it's antimatter annihilation? Using antimatter bombs to react with the positive matter that makes up my spaceship, directly blowing up my spaceship? This kind of attack method... cannot be defended!"
"Ultra-high-energy energy beam weapon? Directly burn my spaceship?... Unable to defend!"
"Undefendable!"
"Undefendable!"
Within his own theory, Xiao Yu made some predictions about attack methods that matched his mastery of space folding technology, but the prediction results made Xiao Yu despair.
All attack methods are impossible to defend against based on Xiao Yu's current technology! What's more, the opponent may have more attack methods that Xiao Yu can't even imagine.
"nineteen……"
"Okay, I can't defend myself, so my response is..."
"First let's see what the opponent's fleet looks like...then, let's take a step at a time..." Xiao Yu thought sadly.
From this point, we can see the gap between Xiao Yu and the other party. The other party has basically grasped Xiao Yu's situation, but Xiao Yu doesn't even know what the other party looks like.
"eleven……"
"Start the interstellar defense system, Tianyuan B, Tianyuan C, and the interstellar fortresses enter the first level of combat preparation, each transit satellite enters the concealed state, and the space turrets of Tianyuan A enter the first level of combat preparation..."
Xiao Yu gave the order feebly, waiting for the upcoming fate.
"It's really unlucky. It's a pity that if you give me another thousand years, I might be able to develop super-light navigation technology here. By then, I won't be able to even run away." Xiao Yu felt a little sad.
.
A moment ago, Xiao Yu was still in a stage of high morale and hard work. Now, less than a minute later, Xiao Yu's mood hit rock bottom.
"Five... Attention, strange mechanical civilization, you still have five seconds. If you still refuse to submit, I will destroy your fleet."
"Well, well, before I die, my life will not be in vain if I can see the attack methods of a super civilization." Xiao Yu suppressed the fear of the unknown in his heart and tried to comfort himself.
"It has been more than five thousand years since I left the earth. Will my life end today?"
Time slipped away bit by bit.
"A...strange mechanical civilization, have you really decided not to surrender?"
"I would rather die than be raised in captivity!" Xiao Yu thought angrily.
"Zero! Well, since you have made your choice, don't blame me." Xiao Yu received this cold message.
The countdown has returned to zero. At this moment, Xiao Yu's entire spirit became tense, and all detection equipment was turned on to maximum power. Xiao Yu wanted to detect the coming attack as soon as possible.
Even if death is the next moment, what Xiao Yu wants is to be able to detect some of the technology contained in the opponent's attack methods at this moment and solve some of his own doubts.
"There are still many unknowns that I haven't explored yet..."
Xiao Yu sighed sadly and quietly waited for the moment of decisive battle to arrive.
