Chapter 43: Negotiator Su Sun (5200, 1st Update)
In this almost infinite galaxy, how many black forbidden areas exist?
A thousand? Ten thousand? Some people may speculate that after all, the Milky Way is so vast that even the most conservative estimates show that there are more than 100 billion stars and countless nebulae and star clusters in the entire river system......
In such a huge number, it is not surprising how many forbidden areas appear, even if they exceed 100 million, it is only a 1 in 10000 chance, which is less than the probability of drawing even two SSR cards in a card game.
But in fact, the number of forbidden areas in the Black Domain is far less than everyone imagined.
Forty-three.
In the entire galaxy, in the 100 billion planetary system, there are a total of forty-three black domain forbidden areas.
On the pitch-black cosmic curtain, there were blinks of stars, and the black exploration ship was shrouded in a layer of faint dark blue light, silently crossing the silent vacuum.
[Prepare to make the jump.] Distance from the target, 9.87 light years, three jump points. 】
After a long time, the deep blue light that shrouded the hull of the ship suddenly shone and exploded, and then, it was a leap.
It arrives at the next jump point that meets the criteria.
There is only one point in the so-called Black Domain Exclusion Zone: whether it is a battleship, an exploration ship, a reconnaissance beacon, any artifact that tries to obtain information from it, once it enters it, it can never return.
Even the super-civilizations of the Golden Age, such as the Golden Age Star Overlords, the Galactic Empire, and the Enterprise Alliance, which occupy half of the cantilever, and even the 'shining sector' in the center of the river system, are arrogant and have a lot of money in front of these forbidden areas......
Because no one is immune, the forbidden area is a forbidden area.
[The jump ends.] The engine is getting rid of the extra psionic flow interference...... Distance from target, 7.21 light years, countdown to the next jump, 17 hours, 22 minutes and 19 seconds. 】
The exploration ship that suddenly appeared in the new star field, the dark blue light shrouded in the whole body became chaotic, and a large number of flashing white and golden light spots covered it, which was the phenomenon of psionic energy accumulation and overlap brought by time and space, through the psychic energy distortion of the two spaces, and make them coincide, and then the leap technology across time and space will inevitably condense the psionic energy around the destination in the traversing object, causing the psionic chaos within it.
Therefore, in a planetary system where stars continue to release a large amount of psionic energy, there are very few jump sites that meet the requirements, and forcibly jumping will only cause the ship's engine to be damaged and implosed.
On the bridge of the bullet-like black battleship, a Chloe captain stared at the 'unknown' mark on the star map, and his ten octopus-like multifunctional limbs were all connected to the control module at the moment, causing his dodecahedron body to receive messages from all over the ship.
"Restricted Area ......"
He muttered to himself, letting out a sigh of excitement or apprehension.
After the Age of Silence, most of the forty-three forbidden areas of the Black Domain, which were originally scattered all over the galaxy, have unraveled their mysteries - among those terrifying forbidden places that make all visitors unable to return, there are many powerful beasts that are enough to shock many interstellar civilizations.
An Aether dragon that orbits a planet and uses a molten planet as a nest to hatch offspring; Star-eating behemoths rooted in the stars and absorbing their nutrients; Wandering in the ancient battlefield, the fully automated recycling machinery of the ancient civilization; Guarding the ruins of the creator's home planet, the Juggernaut Giant Ship that has not abandoned its duties to this day......
Wandering mysterious signals, whether it is a machine or a living body, as soon as it enters, it will be bewitched and corrupted, and become crazy and distorted; Blocked by a closed warped space-time, an artificial black hole with an astonishing mass, or even, a living, ** planet that will actively hunt other stars...... Those black forbidden areas have been unveiled mysterious, although they are still terrifying, no one dares to approach, but it is no longer an unknown black domain.
It's like, this forbidden area at the end of the third spiral arm of the galaxy, a seclusion of a Ω-level psionic civilization...... This was certainly frightening, and he certainly believed that this civilization would be brilliant in the future, but ......
But at the end of this silent era, could that psionic civilization really recover so quickly?
Captain of the Crwe Explorer, K. Cole, doesn't think so.
Or rather, he must think so.
Because, he is on a top-secret mission assigned by the Chloe Central Administration.
- Obtain the identification code of the ship that crashed 170,000 years ago, from the predecessor of the 'Enterprise Alliance', an important member of the 'Thousand Stars Trade Community', and the 'Xiuge Military-Industrial Complex'.
As long as they get this code, they can open the door to the core system of the Enterprise Alliance!
Unlike the Tallinn people, who are only the objects of observation by the Enterprise Alliance, the Kloe people were originally just artificial tool beings created by the Enterprise Alliance, and although they were endowed with a certain amount of intelligence, they were not considered real beings with human rights, and they were even lower than the authority of the seventh level of artificial intelligence.
However, when the Corporate Alliance was severed due to the psionic energy of the Silent Age, and the various members of the Alliance were cut off from each other, and then they were extinct one after another, because the quality as a tool was too good, the surviving Crow gradually mastered part of the legacy of the Corporate Alliance, and then became a true interstellar race, whose technological strength was more than a cut above the original civilization of the Tallinns.
However, due to the limitations deliberately created by the Enterprise Alliance, the Clowe people's psionic and creative talents are too low, and they can master the technology well and correct their mistakes, but they cannot develop it, and can only increase the technology by recovering the relics.
And the psionic aspect...... As a Chloe who has been researching psionic energy from the beginning and using the new technology of the enterprise alliance to strengthen himself, the strongest psionic person today is just a fourth-level primary existence like him, and this is the limit of the Chloe people.
Therefore, in recent years, because of the delay in finding new traces of corporate alliances, the Cloe people, whose technological strength has stagnated, are extremely anxious and frightened when they find that the technology of the Tallinn people is rising.
In this galaxy, there are thousands of powerful races, or reborn or original civilizations, even in the former territory of the Enterprise Alliance, there are more than a dozen new civilizations being born...... And if they have such an advantage over the Kloes, if even the Tallinns can't be defeated, but are overtaken by the other party, wouldn't they have to repeat the fate of being reduced to a tool race?
Fortunately, the Chloes have an absolute hole card in their hands.
They hold clues to the location of the corporate alliance's home galaxy, the industrial and economic center of this super-civilization.
However, this galaxy, like most of the major galaxies of super civilizations, is completely invisible in psionic radar and conventional scanning, and there is no way to jump to reach it, and only through a specific frequency and identification code can the passage zone into the galaxy be opened.
How could the Cloes, who were a former slave race, hold such information? So they just hold the clue empty, but they have no way to enter the treasure house, and they are extremely anxious.
It wasn't until a few months ago that they received a signal from the Shuge civilization from the forbidden area of the distant Black Domain.
The Thousand Stars Trade Community is the predecessor of the Trade Alliance, and their home galaxy is the same, and the spaceship of the Xiuge civilization naturally holds the identification code that leads to the home galaxy.
Ω-level psionic civilization? That was a terrifying thing to do, and even a behemoth like the Enterprise Alliance would never want to provoke a psionic lord who could destroy the stars...... However, for the Crows, if they do not continue to obtain the legacy of the Enterprise Alliance, their future is doomed to be bleak - especially if they obtain the artificial life materials that the Enterprise Alliance used to make the Crow people, so that they can get rid of the 'factory setting' of low creativity and psionic talent through the transformation of the people.
"Hmph, those Tallinn crabs don't understand the importance of that ship at all......"
Seventeen hours passed, the penultimate jump began, the black exploration ship came to the vacuum zone 3 light years away from the target, which is the middle of the target planetary system and another planetary system, under the command of K-Cole, the exploration ship began to activate the psionic scanning and corresponding sensors, and fed back the approximate information of the target to the star map.
Clearly - nothing.
In the target galaxy, except for the psionic reaction of the two stars, there is no psionic light point representing a massive battleship at all, and they even found traces of the aftermath of the explosion of the Tallinn exploration ship, and there was a lot of laughter in the ship's public band, as a vendetta, every Tallinn death can bring happiness to the Chloe.
"Keep going."
K-Cole didn't feel strange when he gave such a command, after all, they had just been scanned by a high-performance psionic radar some time ago, and now they hadn't found any large psionic signals, so there must be something abnormal about this.
But he couldn't say now, 'Let's stop exploring, let's go home!'" This kind of talk, regardless of whether the crew wants it or not, Crow Central will throw him into the gene recovery furnace.
What's more, maybe the Tallinns cobbled together a psionic radar from the wreckage of a crashed ship? The crabs were indeed very skilled in this regard, and of course, the Crow were superior.
With this in mind, a dozen hours later, the Crow Explorer was ready to start making its last jump.
But.
Just a moment before the jump, I don't know if it was a sensor failure, or if there was some accident, suddenly, a large number of unknown signal sources suddenly lit up on the star map of the exploration ship!
Located around the target location, densely packed, it was almost like a psionic signal source that appeared out of thin air, which instantly aroused the emergency alarm of the exploration ship - although each signal source was extremely small, and the sum of all the signal sources may not be comparable to the energy level of the core of an exploration ship, but this also made K-Cole's heart puzzled.
But it's too late.
The jump has begun.
In a flicker of blue light as bright as stardust, the black exploration ship vanished in place.
And on the other side of time and space, the back of a silver moon orbiting a blue planet.
In the empty cosmic space, suddenly, a dark blue aura of psionic energy lit up, and then, the center of this aura began to blur, as if the scenery on the other side of the distant time and space appeared here. After another moment, a huge bullet-shaped spaceship appeared in the middle of the halo with a flickering aura.
As soon as the psychic light flow that enveloped the ship subsided and the jump ended, K-Cole immediately reactivated the observation equipment of the exploration ship and began to search for information around it.
Then he froze where he was.
Because, around the perimeter of the exploration ship, there are circles and circles, densely packed with battleships and tiny exoskeleton armor.
"More than five frigate-class ships detected!"
"More than two hundred third-level psionics, twenty-four fourth-level psionics—and one of them approaching fifth-level psionics!"
"Captain, we're surrounded!"
In an instant, inside the exploration ship, the exclamations of the observers and scientific researchers came one after another—those battleships were just that, they didn't feel any threat from those frigate-class space battleships that seemed to be just empty shells, but the sense of danger contained in those small-looking exoskeleton mechs was extremely terrifying!
In the universe, it is just a battleship controlled by AI, it is indeed just an ordinary firepower base, more than 100 hydrogen warhead missiles have locked the alien exploration ship, although the lethality of nuclear weapons in space is far less than that in the atmosphere, but according to the Tallinn people, the operation and signal transmission of paralyzing the battleship are more than enough, not to mention that after accelerating, the exoskeleton armored spearhead attack can reach more than 18 kilometers per second in the vacuum environment, which is enough to break through the Kloe battleship defense circle and directly enter the ship to control the battleship.
The psionics shrouded in full-coverage armor could not see their expressions, but they could detect that the materialized spiritual power was rotating in these giant psionic outer armor more than ten meters high, and the psionic vortex engine, as the energy source of this modern composite magic weapon, was releasing a bright light that could be clearly observed in the universe.
Many transcendents belonging to each ** side silently surrounded the exploration ship of the Chloe people, and this encirclement was faintly headed by one person.
And this man is not even equipped with exoskeleton armor.
June 30, 2017, above the back of the moon.
Su Sun stood in a vacuum, his long hair tied into a ponytail fluttering slightly behind him, and the young man held an unsheathed long knife, calmly staring at the black spaceship in front of him.
In order to avoid irritating the Crows, he did not change into a real body, and although the earthlings were not prepared to let any aliens who knew the true situation of the earth go back, they were not prepared to actually kill all the aliens - defeat the other party and capture them, just like the Tallinnians, and let them teach them the relevant technology for themselves, isn't it?
With such thoughts, Su Sun did not show hostility at the first time, and in the face of the Cloe Exploration Ship that seemed to be in chaos, he just moved forward slowly, and then tried to communicate with the other party with soul communication.
"Get ready to execute the exit plan! Forced Jump Away! ”
At the same time, inside the exploration ship, Captain K-Cole had already reacted, and through the lens of the exploration ship, he was shocked to find the mountains of various spaceship wreckage on the back of the moon - at the same time, he also noticed that on the blue planet in the distance, the terrifying spiritual power reaction was as hot as boiling!
- What, isn't this planetary system a binary star system?!
That's a living planet?! But where did the planet have such a terrifying psionic reaction, and this kind of space-time distortion fluctuations, it is simply hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary psionic planets......
Without time to think too much, he gave the order to urgently jump away at the first moment.
But it is clear that he did not succeed.
"Want to run?"
In the base on the back of the moon, the Tallinn people who watched the battle with the master craftsman representative of the American Federation, the old Eldeman, the captain of the ship, let out a hum that could be regarded as a 'sneer' in the Tallinn language: "I can't imagine it, it only takes one hour and twenty-six minutes for this group of earthlings to rub the anti-migration stance generator!" ”
On the other side, many representatives of craftsmen, including the Craftsman Saint, nodded slightly, but K-Cole, who noticed that the jump had failed, suddenly hardened and cooled his mind like frozen ice.
- Obviously unfolded the position of psionic concealment, but still found out the destination of the jump. As soon as the jump ended, it was directly surrounded by the opponent's large army. The plan to make an emergency jump out has failed, and the exploration ship has no choice now!
Also, this abnormal information, abnormal planet, abnormal cosmic environment...... The mountain of shipwreckage piled up......
"No, we have to pass the information here back to the home planet!" Without any hesitation, the captain made his choice.
"The Crows."
At this moment, he heard a voice from the front, an unknown race walking in the void of the universe in the flesh. The lifeforms that were beyond the ordinary fourth energy level, and were almost indistinguishable from the fifth-level psionics recorded by the Enterprise Alliance, were approaching their ship step by step.
His voice reverberated through the spirit realm, simultaneously resounding in the hearts of every Crow in the exploration ship: "On behalf of the Earth Humans, I have come to negotiate with you on the solution of the Crow Tribes' invasion of our Earth Human Home System. ”
Su Sun considered himself to be very sincere, but for the Chloes, his very existence was a great threat.
Therefore, in the next moment, as all the weapon modules of the exploration ship were activated, countless drones and attack units were released by the Crow like a swarm of locusts, and a thick beam of high-energy particles bombarded towards Su Sun, who was gradually approaching, at the speed of nearly light.
Buzz –
Just as this high-energy beam of light hit Su Sun's body head-on, the young man seemed to have a premonition, he held the scabbard in his hand, so the blade of extinction lit up with red fluorescence, and although the divine knife that shone like blood and red light was still in the scabbard, the unfolded shield still completely wrapped his master.
The stream of light cut through the darkness and sped towards the distant cosmic vacuum.
And the aura shield shattered, and the slightly annoyed young man frowned and walked out of it.
When they landed, all the Kloes on the entire exploration ship were speechless.
An individual can withstand the attack of psionic particle beams unscathed? This is an attack that the armor of the Tallinn warship cannot withstand!
"Can you hear me finish?" Su Sun couldn't understand the shock of the aliens, he just looked at the exploration ship in front of him with anger, and said patiently: "As long as you Chloe people lay down your arms and surrender to us, then the human beings on the earth are willing to accept your surrender ......"
Then, there's the second beam.
For some reason, Su Sun, who seemed to be able to predict the future, flashed this particle beam, narrowed his eyes and watched as the particle beam bombarded the back of the moon, creating a furnace area.
Then, calmly, he turned his head and stared at the Clowe exploration ship.
"Well, I think I'm going to have to fight you."
- Negotiations, breakdown.
Then, the battle began.
