Chapter 170 Friends From Afar

0.1 astronomical unit is 14,960,000 kilometers, and it takes 49.9 seconds to transmit at the speed of light.

So after the Wudangshan ship and the Emeishan ship accelerated out of the asteroid belt with 24 Ganymede-class warships and 100 frigates, they were observed by the other party's detectors after 49.9 seconds.

Such a close distance is completely within the killing range of human laser weapons.

So according to the previously determined strategy, as soon as the Wudangshan ship and the Emeishan ship formation appeared, the fire control radar locked the eight detectors.

It can be seen that after detecting the appearance of the two formations of human warships, the flight trajectory of the eight detectors changed significantly.

First, the speed was reduced, and then the information about the encounter with the human warship formation was immediately transmitted to the fleet behind, and then there was no other action.

It seems that the AI ​​of these eight detectors also knew that they were all locked by the fire control radar, and should have triggered the program preset of the unknown civilization for this special situation.

Seeing this situation, the captain of the Wudangshan ship also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if they could destroy the eight detectors without firing, because the Wudangshan ship and the Emeishan ship formation were originally to be displayed as a visible fleet, which was considered to be a false impression of the enemy. Of course, the more real the enemy saw, the better.

Immediately afterwards, an electromagnetic wave signal was launched from the Wudangshan ship towards the unknown civilization fleet.

"Hello, friends from afar! The Aldebaran star system is the sphere of influence of our human civilization. Please stop the exploration of the detector immediately, otherwise we will destroy your detector in accordance with the provisions of the First Covenant of the Galactic Civilization."

The content of the electromagnetic wave signal is very short, but it is attached with the dictionary of human civilization, so it becomes a bit bloated.

Since we want to establish contact, the best way is of course to attach the dictionary while sending the message.

In this case, it is better to send the message actively, because doing so will leave the decryption to the unknown civilization, and then humans can judge the level of the other party's supercomputer by the time it takes for the other party to decipher the human dictionary and recognize human information.

As for the "human sphere of influence" and "first convention of galactic civilization" mentioned in the information, it is purely a banner for humans to use tiger skin to make a big banner.

This electromagnetic signal is equivalent to broadcasting. It will be received by the detector after 49 seconds, and then transmitted to the unknown civilization after 4.1 hours.

Oh, because during the transmission of electromagnetic waves, the unknown civilization fleet is still slowing down and approaching the giant gas planet, so it is actually shorter than this time.

It takes four hours for the other party to receive a message, and it is unknown how long it will take to decipher it after receiving it, and it will take more than three hours to transmit it back. At this time, people suddenly feel that the speed of light is too slow.

However, there are also advantages to being slow. After sending the electromagnetic wave signal, seeing that the eight detectors did not act rashly, the two formations were not idle either, and immediately pretended to send detectors around one by one, which was quite like "I just found you and am now going to further detect you."

Judging from the reactions of the eight detectors, humans have obtained an important message, that is, this unknown civilization is not the kind of war-crazy civilization that will start fighting as soon as they meet.

At the same time, it also shows that the universe is not completely dark.

In fact, after learning from 'Silver Mist' that there is a true superluminal civilization in the universe, humans have already believed that the Dark Forest is not the mainstream, but considering that 'Silver Mist's words may be false, humans have long been skeptical about this aspect.

Now seeing the detector of this civilization react in this way, it can be basically confirmed that the Dark Forest theory is not the mainstream of the universe. After all, the Dark Forest theory has many prerequisites, including the continuous expansion of civilization, the constant total mass and energy of the universe, technological explosion, suspicion chain, destruction is easier than communication, and the inability to exceed the speed of light.

Moreover, there is the unscrupulous broadcasting behavior of the Silver Heart Alliance before.

Perhaps it may exist in aerospace-level civilization.

Four hours were spent in the formation headed by the Wudang Mountain ship slowly deploying detectors.

"Hehe, they should have received the information. I don't know how they will react if they suddenly receive a signal and discover us during the deceleration process." The captain of the Wudang Mountain ship looked at the time and smiled.

At the same time, in the bridge of the flagship of the unknown fleet, which was still in a deceleration state, emergency reports sounded one after another.

"Emergency information, the detector found an unknown fleet outside the asteroid belt."

"Emergency information, the detector sent back the number of unknown fleets, a total of two Quaker-class battleships, twenty secondary battleships, and one hundred small battleships of unknown purpose."

"Emergency information, the detector has been locked by the fire control of the unknown fleet, and the emergency response procedure has been triggered. Please issue specific instructions from the main ship."

"Emergency information, the system received a group of unknown electromagnetic wave signals, which have been identified by the self-identification program. It is an obvious regular signal."

"***...&&&...##￥" A creature immersed in a certain transparent liquid and firmly fixed on a certain device by a safety buffer device uttered a curse, but there was no sound.

"Damn it, why is it at this time!" Then, the creature exclaimed again, but it seemed to be still in a certain transparent liquid, so only the place where the creature seemed to be a vocal organ moved.

In this battleship, all creatures are in the same state. Obviously, this transparent liquid is an acceleration buffer. This fleet is in a deceleration state, and the acceleration buffer is enabled as an auxiliary buffer.

Obviously, they did not consider encountering this situation during the deceleration process, so the above scene appeared, but as a civilization with an acceleration buffer, it is impossible to fail to transmit information in the buffer.

So this situation only occurred for a few seconds, and then something unknown stretched out from somewhere and stuck to the vocal organ of this creature.

"Sir Pierce, what should we do? Should we stop deceleration?" A strange scream sounded in the internal communication of this battleship.

"Why are you panicking? Keep slowing down."

The creature called Lord Pierce continued to analyze: "We have slowed down by 28 kilos. We need another 49 kilos to complete the deceleration. We don't have much energy left. We can't reach the next star system even if we turn to speed up. We can't give up halfway!"

"But."

"No buts. Didn't you notice that the unknown fleet didn't destroy our detectors right away? They also sent us information. This shows that they are not crazy people like the Quill civilization. Anyway, keep slowing down first. Also, notify all scientific teams to prepare. Once the deceleration is completed, immediately do everything possible to crack the electromagnetic wave information."
