BXBX NOVEL Chapter 586 - 587 Strange Foreign Signal
Chapter 586: Chapter 587 Strange Foreign Signal
The territory of Amoeba\'s rule is not linear expansion, but more like a ripple of water dripping on the water. In addition to the seed rescue mission of the Selin people, stars in other directions are also expanding and colonizing.
In another direction perpendicular to their initial expansion, the collectors who had not been colonized in the new marginal territory of this ethnic group suddenly received a strange signal from other places.
"Received radio signals from outside the stellar system."
"Is there a same clan coming?"
This was the first reaction of other collectors after hearing the news, but soon, the collectors who thought so were refuted by their other peers.
"We are the colonial stars in the most frontier of the ethnic group, and there is no same race in that direction."
"Huh? So who delivered the source of this signal?
The news came so suddenly that some collectors had not yet reacted.
However, their brains did not strike, and their brains began to logically analyze the information obtained.
...receiving unknown signals from outside the star system... The direction is not from the ethnic group... It is very likely to be an alien civilization...
Under the derivation of the logical chain, the collectors began to get excited.
"...is a valuable ethnic resource! What are you still doing? Hurry up! Hurry up and get the star map out! We need to determine the coordinates of their delivery signal.
Collectors directly define it as a resource. In fact, this understanding is correct. For collectors, alien civilization is a cherished ** resource, which can provide technical promotion to ethnic groups.
"How do we determine the coordinates?" Some collectors asked.
This strange radio signal is not complicated, so it does not carry much complex information, but a simple signal.
This signal is most likely to be just a radio signal for other purposes, not for communication.
Therefore, the collectors are not sure that such a signal will be repeated again. If the signal source only intends to send radio information once, how can they obtain the coordinates of the signal source?
The cluster leader half reprimanded and half explained their plans in the channel.
"I told you to use your brain more at ordinary times. You see, I don\'t know how to use it when I want to use it now, right? As long as two platforms in different locations receive the signal, infinitely extend a straight line from the direction they observe the signal, and then calculate the intersection of the two straight lines, you will naturally know where the signal source comes from.
Although each collector has the same knowledge memory, memory is ultimately a memory, not the degree of understanding of knowledge, like forcibly writing down a book. However, due to the memory\'s own factors, the content of the book cannot be used in the brain.
After the explanation of the cluster leader, other collectors woke up one after another.
"So that\'s it."
According to the method of cluster leaders, the collectors began to calculate the coordinate position of the star where the signal source is located.
It wasn\'t long before they were found.
"I found it! Er... But this position is a little strange. There is no star in this coordinate.
The reported collector was a little hesitant, because there were no stars at the location of this signal source, and even centered on coordinates, there were no stars within a radius of two light years and three light years.
Such a result is very difficult for the reported collectors.
"Are you wrong?" The cluster leader asked.
"No, I checked it twice before reporting, and there is really nothing wrong with the calculation."
The leader of the cluster thought for a moment and asked again.
"Have you replaced the stellar displacement? The star moves around the center of the river system all the time.
"I have considered it."
"So do you consider the delay factor of the speed of light? When the signal is transmitted to us, there will be obvious delays on a large scale.
"I also thought about it." The collector of the report replied.
"Why not? Is there a deviation in the direction of observation?
This time, the leader of the cluster was also puzzled. It thought of the last possible mistake, and the answer of the same clan made it feel a little bad.
"I don\'t know. It doesn\'t feel like it\'s the cause of the deviation. The signal source is only five light years away from us. Even if there is a deviation, it can\'t be two or three light years away."
After other collectors heard this information, some individuals made a guess.
"Do you think... will this alien civilization be the same as us?"
"What the same? Another ethnic group?"
The individual explained, "No, I mean the way of expansion. The radio signal we received is a deceleration signal from sublight speed using the reflection of stars. Isn\'t that what we do?"
"You mean that a fleet of alien civilizations is approaching us?" The cluster leader asked.
This also came to mind, but it is a little later than the individual expression.
"That\'s what it means." Individual affirmative answer.
Everything should be considered at the worst. Combined with the current intelligence, the collectors agree that this is an alien civilization with similar technology to them.
Civilized contact is also wild contact, often accompanied by war and killing. This is what collectors have learned from the history of the Serin people, so they dare not slack off. Even if they believe that the other party will attack the colonized clusters in the star system, the collectors need to do a good job for the upcoming war. Prepare,
The preparations for the war are in full swing, and since it is learned that an alien fleet is going to colonize the star system of collectors, they have carried out such resource mobilization.
They don\'t know whether the alien fleet is an enemy or a friend, so they can only make the worst plan and determine that the alien fleet intends to invade their colonial star system.
"Quick! Get ready for battle!"
The cluster leaders urged in the channel, and other peers will also explain the problems to the cluster leaders one after another.
"Antimatter! There are not enough anti-material resources!"
"The output of antimatter has been increased, and other industrial giants have been suspended, and all efforts have been made to produce antimatter giants!" According to the leader of the problem cluster, he gave an order to his family, and then thought of another possibility in the later stage of the war, and issued a task to his family of stellar communication.
"Ask for help from other colonial stars! Tell them that we don\'t have enough war resources! It is likely to be defeated, so be on alert!"
"I understand!" The same group responsible for stellar communication.
Subsequently, the cluster leaders began to pay attention to other aspects of affairs.
"How\'s the battle plan going?" The cluster leader asked.
The collectors who were making a battle plan answered.
"We have figured out that by sticking to the star system, we have more resources than each other, and we have the time and space to deploy, which can transform the colonial star into a position battlefield."
"What if their technology is above us?" The cluster leader asked.
"In the worst case, we are crushed by their technology. If so, we will create a supernova explosion, and pulls them to die with us."
The collectors also considered the technological gap, not to mention the current star system, because not long after the colonization, the planets have not been dismantled, the number of antimatter giants is not enough, and there are not many antimatter reserves, so there are not enough antimatter resources to give the Leap Forward biological armed forces.
Therefore, the collectors feel that they are at a great disadvantage.
"Of course, it is not known whether this method of co-determination is effective or not." The collector who formulated the battle plan added.
The leader of the cluster replied, "Don\'t care whether it\'s useful or not. Use it as much as you feel is useful. This alien civilization can sail across stars like us. We should be as cautious and overestimated as possible, understand?"
"I see."
After being affirmed by the leaders of the cluster, the collectors who formulated the battle plan began to explain the battle plan in depth.
"Then we should do this, arrange a focus array in the orbit of the star, and then spread the signal subbody in the star system to lock the enemy fleet with higher accuracy, and create a large number of mother ship creatures..."
"Wait, is the mothership creature still useful?" The cluster leader asked.
"A large number of mothership creatures can provide cover for the leap forward creatures, and the other party will miscalculate our strength and kill them by surprise."
"This is not their home field, so it is difficult to obtain war supplies. In addition to relying on the superiority of technology and the huge combat power, if it is the same technology, we should have a greater advantage."
