Chapter 357: A Truly Peaceful Exchange
The first civilization chosen by the Federation is the one 5,000 light-years away shown on the Olive Branch Star Map.
This is one of the closest civilizations known to the Federation.
Another civilization is the one that originally destroyed the Hundred Eyes.
Although that civilization is also about 5,000 light-years away, because it is speculated that the other party may have been a Level 2 civilization 10 million years ago, Yan Xia and Ella believe that the other party should be a Level 2.8 civilization at present, rather than the suspected Level 2.6 civilization in the Olive Branch Star Map.
As for whether the civilization that has developed for 10 million years has become a Level 3 civilization, it is obviously impossible in Yan Xia and Ella's new theory and the actual situation obtained.
First, if there is a Level 3 civilization in the Milky Way, then the contactor is completely unnecessary, and the current pattern of the Milky Way must not be like this, but more "orderly".
Second, Level 2 to Level 3 is a greater leap than the discovery of gravitons, which is beyond the cognition of the organisms themselves. Just like the shackles described in the immortal novels, it is a bottleneck that requires luck and talent to break through.
If neither of them exists, then it will stay in the current state forever.
The same is true for the advancement of civilization, just like the agricultural society of the earth's human beings for thousands of years before the scientific and technological revolution, and after the industrial revolution, it has been advancing rapidly and completed unprecedented changes in a short period of time.
Will some civilizations remain in the agricultural society forever?
Very likely.
For example, it is difficult for the feudal society of China to quickly produce something new to reform.
This is an ideological limitation, as well as a limitation of its own biological form. For example, dinosaurs controlled the earth for billions of years, but no civilization was born, let alone civilization, not even any highly intelligent creatures.
And if a civilization itself has a low fertility rate and is not oppressed by the outside world, like the War Beasts, they do not need any left-wing ideas at all, and the entire society only needs the right wing.
Therefore, the emergence and progress of civilization require the combined influence of many aspects. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, where there is resistance, there will be revolution, and where there is revolution, there will be progress.
Everything is linked together.
It is definitely better to communicate with a Level 2.6 civilization than a Level 2.8 civilization.
Because a Level 2.8 civilization itself has the potential to break the rules. After all, there is no Level 3 civilization in the Milky Way, and even if the civilization behind the contactor is a Level 2.9 civilization, it cannot truly and comprehensively crush a Level 2.8 civilization, so a Level 2.8 civilization is very dangerous.
Thinking of this, Yan Xia thought of the conjecture given by the Holy Grail Project before.
"Before, the concept of dimension was not introduced, so everything was established."
"Now that the concept of dimension has been introduced, the Holy Grail Project's claim that there is only a Level 2.8 civilization in the Milky Way is no longer valid, because a Level 2.9 civilization not only needs resources, but also requires dimensional progress to enter Level 3 and truly control absolute power."
"A Level 2.9 civilization cannot use its own strength to promote the development of civilization like a snowball, so a Level 2.9 civilization can exist in the Milky Way."
It feels a bit silly to believe it under such circumstances.
But it's not.
When discussing unknown issues between the two parties, the person who pretends to know everything always has more say.
At that time, Yan Xia chose to be the one who pretended to know everything, so he got the right to speak.
The Holy Grail Project was something that could not be verified at that time. In fact, even after entering the final war with the Olive Branch Civilization, the Holy Grail Project was still established, because the Olive Branch Civilization still did not know the pattern of the Milky Way.
It's like a party, you will brag, and as long as the bragging is not exposed, then you are the core of the party.
Yan Xia and Ella both guessed that this communication would take at least 35,000 years to complete.
But in fact, it was faster than they thought.
About 2,000 years later, Yan Xia and Ella had already communicated with the other civilization.
Because the warships of the other civilization set off first, and the speed exceeded 100,000 km/s, almost crossing a distance of 5,000 light years at a speed of one-third of the speed of light.
The voyage time is 15,000 years, which means that the other party knew the information 13,000 years earlier than them.
The civilization behind the contactor has already laid out.
And the contact should be in order, or in sequence.
The advanced civilization knows the news first, and the low-level civilization knows the news later. The civilization that knows the news first will occupy more resources.
Yan Xia and Ella could not express their anger on this matter, because this is the reality.
Facing the warships of the other civilization, Yan Xia and Ella would definitely not choose to attack. As they thought before, the party that launched the attack first would definitely be killed as a warning to the monkeys, and the other party must also expect them to do so.
The only good news is that they know from the information about the arrival of the other warship that everything the contactor said is true, at least at the level of themselves and the other civilization.
But the two civilizations cannot really establish this point. What if the contactor is the means for the other civilization to suppress and mislead them?
So Yan Xia and Ella still completed a communication with the other civilization very cautiously.
This communication was not even in language, but in mathematics.
The two civilizations established the message of non-aggression through mathematics, and then the communication ended.
This was a truly peaceful communication. Both sides had absolutely no intention of invading each other. This was also the first time that the Federation faced a civilization that was absolutely not hostile.
Of course, at present, this absolute can actually be put in quotation marks.
After the communication ended, the Federation's tachyon device detected the tachyon information, which was transmitted from the battleship of the other civilization.
This reminded Yan Xia and Ella that tachyons are a technology at the dimensional level. If everyone explores the dimension in the late stage of Level 2 civilization, then it means that tachyon communication technology no longer has an advantage.
And because there is life in the high dimension itself, that is to say, tachyon communication can be intercepted.
They should develop more advanced tachyon communication encryption technology.
The other battleship did not leave, but stayed in the star field of the Federation, and then the battleship disintegrated and fell on a wandering planet, forming a large number of lives.
Until the other battleship disintegrated, Yan Xia and Ella did not know what the other battleship looked like.
Because the other battleship has no appearance at all.
It cannot be observed by any equipment of the Federation.
This does not mean that it does not exist in three-dimensional space, but that its particles seem to have undergone multiple encryptions, which are at the wave level.
Just like the human eye can only see light of a specific frequency, if someone changes the wavelength of light so that it is not in the wavelength band of any natural light, then the organisms and the machinery made by the organisms will naturally not be able to observe it.
And only after the opponent's warships became organisms, they could observe each other.
These are some of the rare races whose appearance can be accepted by the human race.
