Within Dayang Group, Zhang Hao, Murong Shan, as well as representatives from all parties in the strategic alliance and military staff, kept circulating the report. Everyone's expressions became heavier, shocked, and a little overwhelmed.
The report contains a lot of text:
[To Mr. Zhang of Dayang Group: I am Eternity. I am about 700 light years away from you. I just missed the exploration fleet of the Red River Civilization.
From the star map, the specific location of the Red River Civilization Exploration Fleet is located in the central area of the Suzaku Palace, Jingsu, and Tianshe constellations in the Southern Star District; and your location is in the east of the Tianshe constellation, close to Jingsu and the Old Man constellation.
The distance from Canopus to the middle of the Tianshe constellation is about 700 light years.
A distance of 700 light-years, based on the exploration speed of the Red River Civilization Exploration Fleet, it can be reached in 20 years at the earliest.
I have given them wrong guidance, which may delay it for some time, but not for long. But if the other party does not explore Canopus, you may have more time.
In addition, outward from the Tianshe constellations, it is out of the scope of the Milky Way. The stars are sparse and relatively barren compared to the Tianhe scope, so it generally does not attract attention.
According to the fleet signals I monitored, I learned that the main territory of the Red River Civilization has expanded to the west of the Lost Arc constellation, which is about 1,100 light years away from Canopus.
1,100 light years is not that far away for the Red River Civilization. If we sail directly regardless of the cost, it will take at most two months.
In addition, the highest cultivation level of the Red River Civilization has reached the peak of refining gods and returning to emptiness, which is the realm of returning to emptiness; it is one level higher than the original Xuanhuang Civilization. When the cultivation reaches the stage of refining gods and returning to emptiness, one step is taken one step at a time, one level is lost, and the combat effectiveness is different by ten
times.
In addition, your surroundings are relatively barren, with few planets and scarce resources; the only one worthy of development is Canopus, which is about 60 light years away. However, Canopus does not have a suitable planet for life, which will be a great challenge to you.
As for the competition and wars among interstellar civilizations, including the battles and history between the Xuanhuang Civilization and the Red River Civilization, you can find them from the information on Liuli Island.
Best wishes.
I hope we can meet again in the starry sky in the not too distant future.
Dayang Group’s eternal friends—eternal, stay.】
Everyone circulated it to each other, and Zhao Dahe was simply marking the constellations, stars, etc. in the report on the blackboard. From the star map, it looked like this:
【...Arc Lost Constellation...
(↓About 400 light years)
**Tianshe constellation→700 light years→Canopus.】
The Arc Lost constellation spans about 450 light-years from east to west and about 200 light-years from north to south;
The Tianshe constellation spans about 600 light years from east to west and about 200 light years from north to south;
The easternmost constellation of Tianshe, and further east, slightly south of 700 light years, is Canopus (constellation);
About 60 light years further south of Canopus is the location of Tianyuan Star.
In fact, the starry sky is not flat, but three-dimensional. Star maps can only indicate a rough outline. The actual situation is very complicated, and a star map needs to be established to make it clear.
Dayang Group is working on establishing a star map, but it will not be available in a short period of time. The starry sky data that can be obtained by relying solely on ground telescope observations is really limited.
But this time, because of the eternal news, the nearby starry sky, and the inheritance in the astrolabe received by Zhao Dahe, Zhao Dahe was able to briefly explain the specific direction.
Zhang Hao sat at the front seat, quietly watching everyone busy and watching Zhao Dahe's explanation.
But he said that two hours ago, after Zhang Hao received Lu Xianfeng's telegram, his first reaction was - what a joke. But Zhang Hao soon calmed down, and Lu Xianfeng would never have the guts to make this joke.
In the next half hour, a lot of news came from Yongheng, and Zhang Hao finally figured out what happened.
But he said that although Eternity left, he used some advanced communication technology to leave a one-way contact method on the moon. Of course, this method of contact has distance limitations, and Eternity himself didn't know that the message sent by 'He'
Can Zhang Hao receive it? So I sent it several times.
Because we also need to prevent being detected by the Red River Civilization, we are also very cautious when sending messages forever. They are all sent under the cover of magnetic storms from stars, and the signal strength is not high.
The information sent by Everlasting is an ultra-highly compressed signal. After the equipment on the moon receives the signal, it will analyze it and then transmit it to Zhang Hao via radio.
Unfortunately, the message was one-way, so Zhang Hao could not send a message to Yongheng saying: I received it. Besides, sending the signal back would easily expose himself.
The messages sent by Yongheng are not only the ones mentioned above, but also have more content. They even include some news broadcasts of the Red River Civilization, etc., allowing Zhang Hao to have some knowledge about that advanced civilization that is more than a thousand light years away.
Here’s a simple impression:
A civilization that is vigorously developing and actively expanding; but because the Red River Civilization is a 'latecomer civilization' - yes, although the Red River Civilization may have a history of more than a million years, in the entire starry sky, it is still a latecomer civilization.
.
In short, as a late-developing civilization, the Red River Civilization could only expand its land outside the Tianhe River, but could not expand into the interior.
The Milky Way is actually the cantilever of the galaxy. The closer to the center, the denser the stars, and the richer they become. In this big world of practice, the power of the stars is strong inside the spiral arm, and practice can get twice the result with half the effort.
But the Red River Civilization is not ordinary. When it competed with the Xuanhuang Civilization for hegemony, it almost wiped out the Xuanhuang Civilization.
However, as a late-developing civilization, the Red River Civilization is not comfortable either. Competition and even oppression from interstellar civilizations are everywhere.
Similarly, once the current Tianyuan Star is discovered by the Red River Civilization, the consequences will be disastrous. The better ones are all extinct - yes, this is better; the bad ones are all enslaved, completely losing their dignity, and unable to die.
Once controlled by an advanced civilization, suicide is impossible!
Yongheng also made a development plan for Dayang Group based on some of his own information: Masters must ensure that this is a world of practice, and the entire starry sky is a world of practice. Without masters, everything is in vain; secondly, high technology, powerful
The technology can help with spiritual practice, and of course it can also create powerful military weapons to deter enemies from messing around.
To develop a master, you must pay attention to the basics, and even more attention to the skills; "Zhou Tian Gong" is the best skill of the Xuanhuang civilization, and can be practiced up to the middle stage of refining the gods and returning to the void, the realm of pure Yang; in the later stage, it depends on the opportunities of Dayang Group;
Then there is technology. Dayang Group’s technology is unique. If it can absorb the technology of Xuanhuang Civilization, etc., it may be able to create miracles.
Another thing is to keep a low profile and try not to develop those high-power radio equipment; if you have to test it, adjust the direction and try not to launch in the direction of the Milky Way. Instead, launch to the south of the star map.
Zhang Hao hesitated for a long time and decided to disclose most of the information to the strategic alliance.
Because this matter is too big, with the strength of Dayang Group, it may not be able to develop to the point of confronting the Red River Civilization in just 20 years.
This requires the help of the power and wisdom of the world.
Therefore, some things have to be made public. In fact, the time has come when they must be made public.
But the impact of these news was still beyond Zhang Hao's expectation - everyone remained quiet after receiving this information. However, if you look closely, you can find that deep in everyone's eyes, there are circles of confusion.
Fortunately, Murong Shan was still calm and immediately suspended the war in the Xuanhuang World. Compared with the crisis from the starry sky, these matters within the planet can be negotiated. Especially since the Xuanhuang World dispersed all the masters, it also allowed
The war has become difficult.
For a long time, when Zhang Hao was feeling sleepy, Hong Yunzi, the representative of Xuanzhen Sect, spoke, "Zhao Dahe, what is light year? How far is this thing?"
Zhao Dahe patted his head: "Forget this. A light year is how far light can travel in one year. It is a unit of distance and is used to measure the starry sky.
According to calculations based on the Ocean Group's standard units, plus our latest measurements, as well as comprehensive comparisons and calculations obtained from Xuanhuang civilization data, based on the calculation of 300,000 kilometers of light per second, the distance of one light year is approximately 9.5 trillion kilometers.
A light year is a large unit, but in the universe, it is still tiny."
Hong Yunzi frowned slightly: The unit was too big, and he didn't react for a while. He couldn't appreciate the distance of light years at all.
However, Hong Yunzi quickly asked the next question: "Light-year sounds very big. So what kind of Red River civilization can't find us here in a short time?"
This time, Zhao Dahe didn't know how to answer. But Zhang Hao spoke, "Let me answer this. Based on our deciphering of the relevant information of Xuanhuang Civilization, we believe that for advanced civilizations, hundreds of light years are nothing."
natural moat.
The message from Eternity makes it very clear that the distance between us and the main boundary of the Red River Civilization is about 1,100 light years, but if the Red River Civilization is willing, it will only take them two months to arrive.
And in two months, we had no time to do anything."
"But I read on the paper that the exploration fleet of the Red River Civilization will take at least twenty years."
Zhang Hao sighed, "The 20 years given by Eternal are just a reference and can only be used as a reference.
If the exploration fleet suddenly changes its plan, maybe they can find us in three to five years. Maybe they give up and they won't be able to find us for hundreds of years.
But this assumption doesn’t make much sense. Because we have no choice, we can only develop, accelerate development, and strive to develop to be strong enough before the Red River Civilization finds us!”
After a pause, Zhang Hao continued, "Don't forget, we developed from the remains of the Xuanhuang civilization, and the characters we use still have the shadow of the Xuanhuang civilization.
Under such a premise, once discovered by the Red River Civilization, the consequences will be disastrous."
Hong Yunzi frowned and stopped talking. However, Feng Zhiling beside him spoke and left, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, in twenty years, do we really have any hope of competing with...this Red River Civilization?"
The Xuanhuang Civilization was wiped out, and we are now far inferior to the Xuanhuang Civilization. What’s more, the Red River Civilization has also been developing at a rapid pace in the past hundreds of thousands of years."
