The mercenary group's top brass quickly made the decision to send three ships to temporarily act as 'research ships', with the Sword Duo in charge of protecting the researchers, and the remaining warships and ships continuing to track intelligent life.

The spaceship carrying intelligent life flew all the way out of the galaxy, and the base of this galaxy and so on were directly abandoned.

Nan Xiaoyun and other masters used the Yuan Shen to scan the planets here, and found that there were a large number of bases on the planet, but most of these bases had stopped operating.

"It seems that there is still a lot of combat power, why did you give it up like this?" In the month of taking advantage of the planetary changes, everyone checked all the planets in this galaxy and found this problem.

"Maybe intelligent beings are more vigilant!" Li Yu said calmly, "When they knew that there was no hope of victory, they immediately retreated decisively." When we think about problems now, we should not start from our own perspective, but should think more about how intelligent life thinks about problems.

They should be more rational than we are. For in all their actions, they obey the results of their calculations, and obey an almost cold sanity. This is something we can't match. ”

Lin Jintao sat in his chair and thought thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then where can they go? Since intelligent beings are rational, then their escape must be in search of the hope of victory." ”

"Wouldn't it be just a runaway?" Jiang Yurou was a little skeptical.

Lin Jintao analyzed very rationally: "No! The reason why these intelligent beings are attacking this time is for our technology, data, information, etc. This time, during our communication and fighting, we let the other side know our advanced technology and massive information, and they will definitely not give up.

For them, technology and information are the basic means of survival for evolution and development. Just like our pursuit of exercises, treasures, and spiritual resources, it involves the foundation of our existence.

As long as there is a little possibility, I will not give up. So I judged that their transfer must be in search of victory. And the most likely thing that will give them hope is ...... Eternity!"

"Eternal ......" Li Yu frowned slightly, "This is just a battle, and they have completely retreated? are they still ready to seek revenge on the old ancestor of Eternity? I always feel a little unreasonable!"

"What we call unreasonable is from our point of view. But the situation of intelligent life may be different from ours! Actually, I know that this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but I can't find any more explanation.

Perhaps, these intelligent beings are not complete. ”

At this time, Nan Xiaoyun, who had been silent for a long time next to him, suddenly said: "I have an idea, let's see if it's correct." I've just thought back to all the processes of coming into contact with these intelligent beings, and I always feel that there are some things that we may have overlooked.

According to the previous exchanges with Weilong, I suspect that these so-called intelligent beings can only be regarded as a kind of 'program that simulates intelligent life'! ”

"Oh?" everyone wondered.

I listened to Nan Xiaoyun continue: "When we came to this starry sky, the first signal we received was the eternal signal. It was an overt, permeated signal that permeated the entire nearby universe.

Since then, I have also found out in my communication with Weilong that Weilong, and all intelligent life, need to be connected with eternity from time to time. Say it's getting an updated package.

But why do all intelligent life need this so-called renewal? If it is life, then even if it does, it should only be a very small part, not all.

There is also the inconsistency of the other party's performance before and after. Let's just say that Weilong can silently break through our firewall in communication, this ability and this wisdom are absolutely alarming. But in the ensuing war, the performance of intelligent life as a whole can be called stupid.

This is intelligent life, and theoretically they should be absolutely calm. Maybe they lack some imagination ability, but within the scope of their ability, they can definitely reach the limit, maybe we can't reach the height.

Taken together, I think these intelligent beings ...... Maybe it's all eternal 'tentacles'. In fact, these five intelligent life groups are all clones of the eternal self!

In other words, the eternity we are looking for is this huge group! Or rather, this is part of eternity!"

"Wait... Wait..."Lin Jintao rubbed his eyebrows, "What you said made me a little frightened and a little messy." If all these intelligent beings are eternally divided, then why should they be renewed from time to time?"

"That's it, it's going to be updated from time to time!" Nan Xiaoyun said affirmatively, "Eternity should have drunk itself and split into so many individuals, and these individuals would reproduce themselves.

In short, eternity has built a civilization with its own ability, and the individuals of these 'civilizations' are free to develop as a whole in a state of eternal 'drunkenness'.

The free development of a civilization naturally generates a large amount of data. Eternity collects this data and completes its own evolution.

Every once in a while, the eternal database is updated, and these 'intelligent beings' will be updated again, and continue to evolve their own civilization.

I suspect that this time the intelligent beings retreated en masse because their underlying command thought it was time to return. Having accumulated enough data after the war, it's time for a complete update.

There is only one truth of the matter, and only the truth is the most reasonable explanation. Only with such an explanation can all doubts be explained. ”

All:......

Jiang Yurou listened, but said: "It sounds more reasonable, so can we find eternity with these spaceships that escaped?"

"I suggest looking for it!"

After discussion, the decision was made to leave 30 warships to protect the area, except for a few people to continue studying the newly formed stars, and the remaining 170 or so warships set off to track down the ships from which intelligent life had escaped.

Before leaving, they also sent a special express spacecraft to the headquarters of the Ocean Group to deliver a message. It is too remote and there is no communication network, so if you want to transmit information to the rear, you can only send a spaceship to the nearest base or signal station to send the message.

Of course, the Dayang Group has also obtained some cultivators' methods, but these methods have always been very cautious. In order to prevent the back door from being left, etc., the Neptune Group will only use it in ordinary circumstances or in an emergency. In the current situation, of course, secrecy is the main thing.

In this starry sky of cultivation, there are really not too many means, and the Ocean Group is also careful and careful.

The fleet continued to set off, chasing the spacecraft that had escaped from the intelligent life in front of them, and this chase was three months! In fact, in the first month of the pursuit, everyone determined the inference of Nan Xiaoyun.

Yes, even if intelligent life puts your 'brain' next to you, it won't be too far away. Otherwise, the signal will take too long. So the only possibility now is that eternity is recovering the 'little monkeys' that it has separated.

For these three months, everyone followed the long constellation of the Celestial Garden all the way to the westernmost part of the constellation of the Celestial Garden, and then continued to move forward.

After flying out of the constellation of Tianyuan, the stars in the surrounding sky are even more faint, and the distance between the stars has stretched to five light-years, six light-years, or even seven or eight light-years, and the density of the stars here is even dozens of times lower than the position of the Tianyuan galaxy.

Not only is the density of stars low, but the stars here are generally smaller, and the occasional blue dwarf is rare, and more often are red dwarfs, smaller than yellow dwarfs. The mineral resources of the stars are naturally extremely scarce.

The light of these stars was dim, and the mass was even half of the star of the Tian Yuan Star, thirty percent, or even lower. Everyone said that they even found a star that has just broken through the limit of a black dwarf, and the diameter of this star is only 0.08 the mass of a celestial star, and the diameter barely reaches 150,000 kilometers, which is a little larger than some large gas planets.

The surface of this star has just appeared a little red, which is almost impossible to see in the starry sky, and the surface temperature is also very strange, just reaching 37 degrees!

Only the inner core of this star can produce fusion.

However, in this pursuit, everyone also found a problem, that is, those spaceships that escaped did not walk in a straight line, but knew a wonderful curve, and the whole really presented a faint spiral structure.

It's not like an irregular route formed to avoid stars and various celestial bodies, it's too regular and seems to contain some kind of law.

However, before everyone could study it closely, they saw that the spacecraft in front of them plunged headlong into a 'small star cluster'.

It's a small cluster of about 100 stars. Such a star cluster is small, but if it is within the range of the Zhou Tian Galaxy Great Array, it is enough to qualify as a small constellation.

It's just that this place has already exceeded the scope of the Great Array of the Zhou Tian Galaxy! Naturally, it is not within the marked range of the Zhou Tian Star Map.

In fact, in the traditional Zhou Tian star chart, even the marginal constellations such as the old man star and the zhangren have only one point of light, so there is no more introduction. Not to mention these more stars.

Yes, this is beyond the scope of the Great Array of Transforming the Zhou Tian Galaxy, there is only a thin aura here, which is leaked from the inner galaxies, and there is a little bit produced by the stars themselves.

The level of aura thinner here is basically the same as the atmosphere of the 'fugitive layer' at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers from the planet - you can't say there isn't, but it's not much different from nothing.

Not long after the fleet appeared in this small star cluster, I saw a fleet suddenly rushing out of this small star cluster. The style of that fleet is familiar to everyone - the style of Xuanhuang civilization technology!

Almost at the same time as the appearance of the spacecraft was detected, the computer of the Ocean Group warship had already automatically matched the relevant parameters.

"Eternity! Found eternity! Really found this guy!"

At this time, Eternity also got the relevant information from the 'intelligent life', and sent an unencrypted signal to the fleet on the side of the Ocean Group: "You are from the Ocean Group, what are you looking for me?"
