After receiving this message, Xiao Yu's first reaction was: "Who is this guy? How did he know that I came here? Is this the owner of this star gate and is he monitoring my actions in real time?"
The second reaction was to immediately analyze the received message. Xiao Yu tried to find out where the message was sent from, what method it was sent through, and what the identity of the sender was.
The level of technology. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not find any relevant information. This piece of information suddenly appeared in Xiao Yu's brain.
Xiao Yu was quietly waiting for the follow-up information to arrive. But Xiao Yu was disappointed. Xiao Yu had been waiting for several hours and had not received any follow-up information. This guy who did not know his identity came to Xiao Yu when he arrived.
This strange river system sent such a message without any beginning or end at the first moment, and then completely disappeared.
Many thoughts are tumbling in Xiao Yu's heart. A large amount of logical information is entangled with each other, trying to find out the secret hidden behind this information.
"It seems that the name sweeper is not a specific reference to a certain civilization, but a collective name for a type of civilization, just like the Taihao civilization?" Xiao Yu thought incredulously, "Could it be that every river system will
Is there a sweeper civilization? What about the guardian civilization? I became a sweeper civilization, so where did the original sweeper civilization of this river system go?"
Xiao Yu is thinking about a question, that is, what does the sweeper civilization mean?
"Obviously, from the literal meaning, it can be analyzed that the sweeper civilization is responsible for cleaning up intelligent creatures within a river system. Coupled with my understanding of the guardian civilization-the guardian civilization eliminates civilization by depriving it of its development potential.
Civilization and sweeper civilization eliminate civilization through violent destruction. The two work together to eventually lock the way out for all civilizations in a river system. If I hadn't had some adventures, I would have stood on the shoulders of at least seven powerful beings.
, then I would have been eliminated by the sweeper civilization long ago."
"But if luck does not exist at all, then why do the sweeper civilization and the guardian civilization do this? Is it interesting to eliminate the rest of the civilization?"
Xiao Yu began to think about some more profound questions. After discovering that it was very likely that there were sweeper civilizations and guardian civilizations in other river systems, Xiao Yu realized that some problems were not as simple as he thought.
"That inexplicable guy said that I have become a sweeper civilization in this river system. It seems that sweeper civilization is a name. It does not mean that a civilization is born a sweeper civilization. It is a certain candidate civilization that exists among many.
A specially selected one. It is very likely that the sweeper civilization of the Milky Way appeared through such a process. So, what are the responsibilities and obligations that need to be borne by becoming a sweeper civilization, and what kind of rewards and restrictions are there?"
"Obviously, the responsibility and obligation of the sweeper civilization is to eliminate low-level civilization, so what are the rewards and restrictions? Could it be that the reward is the qualification to become a seventh-level civilization? From this point of view, that inexplicable guy will be the invigilator? Well,
If this is the case, it is easier to understand that the sweeper civilization has neutron battle stars and the guardian civilization has four-dimensional jump, because it is the existence that specifies the nature of these two civilizations. It is necessary to ensure that these two civilizations are in this system.
The absolute advantage. This is indeed the case. The Sweeper civilization has dominated the Milky Way for tens of millions of years, and the Guardian civilization has followed closely behind."
Xiao Yu is drawing a terrifying blueprint of the universe in his mind. In this model, every river system with a certain intelligent civilization will be designated by a terrifying existence as two types of civilizations, one is the sweeper civilization, and the other is the scavenger civilization.
The first is the guardian civilization. These two types of civilizations are like gatekeepers guarding the exit of the river system. Anyone who wants to become a seventh-level civilization, that is, a civilization that crosses this gate, will be attacked by these two civilizations.
severe crackdown.
In this process, there are countless lies and countless conspiracies. A weak civilization that has just entered interstellar space and knows nothing about the universe can easily be deceived by the sweet lies of the guardian civilization. Even if
You are relatively lucky. Fortunately, you were not deceived by the guardian civilization, but you will also be violently destroyed by the powerful sweeper civilization later on.
This is a desperate situation. The road for low-level intelligent civilizations to advance to high-level intelligent civilizations is almost blocked. The meaning of their birth is to be eliminated. What awaits them ahead are thorns, without any glimmer of hope.
"Is this the method used by the invigilator? Not only did it set up so many obstacles at the beginning of the civilization, but it also personally conducted the review after the civilization grew into a sixth-level peak civilization and became qualified to impact a seventh-level civilization.
Only civilizations that pass its review have the chance to become a seventh-level civilization... This, what a dark universe this is." Xiao Yu murmured to himself, "It has been really not easy for me along the way.
easy."
At this moment, even Xiao Yu himself felt a little lucky that he could reach this point.
"Was the message that suddenly appeared really sent to me by the invigilator? Why was he so sure that I would obey its instructions? Isn't it worried that I won't fulfill my civilized duties as a sweeper? What if I let it go on purpose?
What should I do? Or is it already confident that I will obey its orders?"
The message sent to Xiao Yu was only a short sentence. There was no prefix or any follow-up addition.
"What is my handle? Is it the qualification to become a seventh-level civilization? I have not yet become a true seventh-level civilization, but I think there are no obstacles on my way to a seventh-level civilization. Could it be...
If I don't fulfill my duties, it will set up some more obstacles for me? But it is speculated that I was saved by the Rebel Alliance, but now it is the one who comes out to assign tasks to me. Is this a compromise? The invigilator and
The Rebel Alliance reached some agreement, and I was the pawn used in exchange?"
At this time, Xiao Yu thought about many things.
"Then what should I do? Should I obey the instructions of this inexplicable guy, or ignore it?" Xiao Yu was thinking silently, "If you don't obey, there will be some risks. If you obey, I don't seem to be willing to do it."
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yu still couldn't make up his mind. Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Yu simply put the issue aside for the time being and began to observe his current environment.
Xiao Yu needs to determine where he is now and how far he is from the Milky Way.
The first thing that was observed was the volume and mass of this river system. Through a high-precision telescope, Xiao Yu determined their distance from the river system through Cepheids in several satellite galaxies, and then used these satellite galaxies to orbit the river system.
The orbit and speed of the river system determine the mass of the river system. The conclusion is that this river system has about twice the mass of the Milky Way.
Through a series of complex algorithms, Xiao Yu calculated the volume of this river system. The conclusion is that this river system has a diameter of about 220,000 light-years. This diameter is about twice that of the Milky Way.
Xiao Yu has identified several stars in this galaxy that he is suspected to have observed before, but it is not yet certain. These data are still being confirmed. After completing a series of observation tasks, Xiao Yu set his sights on
The core of this river system.
What Xiao Yu observed was an astonishing sight.
This river system has two cores.
Generally speaking, a galaxy generally has only one core, and the rest of the stars revolve around this core, such as the Milky Way. This core is usually a massive black hole, which is generally the case for galaxies. But this galaxy is different.
Among its two cores, one is larger, brighter but less massive. The other core is fainter but has a lot of mass. According to calculations, it is about 100 million times the mass of the sun. This larger core
The surrounding gas is not dense, so the reaction is relatively gentle and the stool is darker.
This is a scene that Xiao Yu is very familiar with. Because when he was still in the Milky Way, Xiao Yu had seen the scene here countless times.
This is the Andromeda Galaxy. After Xiao Yu turned the telescope, searched for images of the Milky Way in the celestial sphere, and confirmed hundreds of iconic celestial objects in the Milky Way, Xiao Yu completely confirmed this.
Above the earth, in a clear night sky, people with good eyesight can see the Andromeda Galaxy. However, in the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way cannot be seen with the naked eye alone. Because compared with the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way is too small.
It's too dim in the distance.
"I really didn't expect that after two years of sailing through the Star Gate, I was already prepared to come to a completely unfamiliar galaxy, but I ended up here." Xiao Yu murmured to himself, feeling very incredible in his heart.
"The Andromeda Galaxy... is two and a half million light years away from the Milky Way. It took me two years to cross this journey. Calculated by this calculation, the speed within the star gate has reached 1.25 million times the speed of light.
...It’s really an amazing speed.”
Xiao Yu was sighing, but he didn't expect to receive another message. The method of sending this message was a space broadcast format that Xiao Yu was very familiar with, so Xiao Yu easily determined the source of this message.
"Low-level civilizations within the river system, the sweeper civilization has increased its cleaning efforts in the following related areas. Your situation may be very dangerous. We are the Guardian Alliance, and we can provide you with a safe habitat. Please
Import the following program into your computer, and it will guide you to our alliance..."
