I know this ancient god

With such a long reaction time, by the time the Federation sent a fleet to attack the Ancient God, the Ancient God would either have grown to a point where it was difficult for the Federation fleet to compete, like the Ancient God in an amusement park, or he would have run away without even leaving a shadow.

It doesn't take long, just three or five ancient gods need to be resurrected, and there will be no safe place on the territory of the Federation. Moreover, the Federation cannot grasp the latest trends of the ancient gods. It is likely that it will end up like the Maurya Empire, with most of its internal transportation lines paralyzed, and orders from the central government unable to be issued to the local areas, and it will exist in name only.

To prevent this from happening, the federation must have stable and reliable instant communications.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Can you teach us the communication method you use?"

Intelligent life has proven that its means of communication are resistant to interference.

The gentle female voice replied: "Yes, this is a high-level application of space power, and it is also within our original transaction scope."

She had made an agreement with Tang Xuan before to sort out the technical information of Hill Civilization for him before escaping from the impasse, and to hand over her own space technical information to him after she escaped from the impasse.

Tang Xuan said seriously: "Thank you!"

Instant messaging technology is too important to the Federation.

The gentle female voice whispered: "Wait a moment, I have connected to your fleet's computer."

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Beep beep beep!

A red light suddenly flashed in the command room.

"Intrusion alert!"

"Intrusion alert!"

"Invasion——"

The siren stopped suddenly and the lights returned to normal. Apparently the intelligent life had hacked into the system and turned off the alarm.

For truly intelligent life, the computers of most technological civilizations are like their own back garden, which they can enter whenever they want. Even the Hill civilization back then was unable to resist intelligent life, but instead set a trap to lure you into the trap.

Yin Huazang turned his head left and right, realizing that he couldn't see intelligent life, and he picked up the water glass and took a sip with a slight embarrassment. I thought that when I go back, I must urge the Academy of Sciences to develop a more tightly protected computer system.

After a few minutes, a gentle female voice said: "It's done."

The flagship's computer was loaded with massive amounts of data.

Tang Xuan nodded: "The transaction is settled, and no one owes anyone anything."

The gentle female voice was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "Actually, I think you should pay more attention to another thing than communication."

Tang Xuan was slightly startled: "What's the matter?"

The gentle female voice said solemnly: "Not only do the interference particles have no tendency to slow down, but neither does the sea."

Tang Xuan's expression froze.

The sea has no tendency to expand or slow down.

what does that mean?

That sea can expand infinitely and eventually engulf the Federation?

Tang Xuan subconsciously felt that this was impossible, so even though he knew that the sea was still expanding, he did not panic at all. But when an intelligent life pointed it out, he suddenly felt uneasy.

If it was not serious, intelligent life would not specifically mention this matter.

Tang Xuan was silent for two seconds and asked: "Have you learned how to joke?"

The gentle female voice said firmly: "No, I'm not joking. The expansion rate of that sea is constantly rising, and it will reach astronomical scale in a few days. If my calculations are correct, in five to seven months, The sea will reach and engulf your nearest manned star system."

Can intelligent life's calculations go wrong?

Tang Xuan was silent.

Unexpectedly, the problem of instant communication has not yet been solved, and intelligent life has thrown him such a big trouble.

A habitable star system will be swallowed up within three months. How will the Federation survive this crisis?

He asked for help: "What should we do?"

Intelligent life has technology beyond the reach of the Federation, and her judgment is the best decision.

The gentle female voice said without hesitation: "I suggest you immediately start considering a plan to relocate residents, and prepare all conditions for evacuating people within three months. If the sea is still expanding by then, you can leave immediately."

Tang Xuan remembered it and asked again: "Apart from this?"

"You not only have to consider the residents of nearby galaxies, but also the migration of the whole country." The gentle female voice said seriously, "This sea is beyond my understanding and is likely to continue to expand for a long time. It should be about three years." It can swallow up your entire territory now.”

Tang Xuan's breathing stopped.

Devouring the entire territory in three years? !

He opened his mouth to retort, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing. Because when it comes to computing, intelligent life is absolutely the undisputed expert.

When she said it was three years, it must be three years.

The gentle female voice added: "Of course, if the sea slows down its expansion during this process, you will be able to gain more time, but can you guard such a time bomb in a down-to-earth manner?"

Tang Xuan shook his head.

Of course not!

The side of the bed allowed others to sleep soundly, let alone a sea of ​​thunder created by the ancient gods. If the sea of ​​thunder exploded that day, how much loss would the Federation suffer?

But

If you want to transfer people from all over the federation, not to mention where such a large transportation capacity will come from, where to transport them is also a problem.

There is a reason why the territory of the Federation is what it is today. It has occupied all the territory that can be occupied nearby, and it cannot go to the Maurya Empire or the Frostbrand Empire.

The ancient gods of the Mauryan Empire next door have spread all over the place, and there is no place to stay. Next to me, the Frostbrand Empire has a lot of black technology that I don’t know where to get. It’s not easy to bully. If you force your way in, it’s easy for both sides to lose.

What's more, if the Thunder Sea is so big that it forces the entire Federation to relocate, the two empires next to the Federation may not be very safe.

Apart from these two empires, there are wastelands beyond.

There are very few planets suitable for human habitation in those places, and most of them need to be transformed. Transforming the planet often takes more than ten or twenty years. By the time the transformation is completed, the Federation may have been swallowed up by the Sea of ​​Thunder.

Tang Xuan asked for help again: "Can you help us?"

If we can get the help of intelligent life, with the huge size and technological level of the opponent's fleet, it is not impossible to help the people of the Federation move and find a new home.

"Can't."

The gentle female voice refused cleanly.

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Why?"

The gentle female voice said calmly: "The deal is clear."

Tang Xuan was silent.

The deal is settled, and no one owes anyone anything.

He really had no reason to ask her to help the Federation. And she also said before that she has a voyage plan.

A new deal must be reached, but Tang Xuan didn't know what he could do to impress her. He thought for a while and then said: "I guess you are very interested in the ancient gods. We have a lot of information about them, as well as several living captives."

The gentle female voice replied calmly: "I have already seen it in your database. Ancient gods are not rare creatures. There are ancient gods everywhere in the universe now. They are available in the country next to you, and they are all free."

If intelligent life went to the Peacock Empire to capture the ancient gods, the Peacock people would probably dance with joy.

But Tang Xuan felt a little strange. If the intelligent life really didn't want to talk to him about this matter, why was it talking so much?

He probed: "What do you want?"

"painting."

Tang Xuan was confused: "What painting?"

“The Heritage of Hill Civilization.”

Tang Xuan gradually remembered. He remembered that there was a painting hanging in a cavity of the Neutron Battle Star. The name of the painting is "She", and it is the only remaining artistic treasure and masterpiece of the Hill Civilization.

When the intelligent life was trapped on the neutron battle star, it always used the image of the protagonist in "Her".

Tang Xuan's expression softened.

Only when you are full of bread can you be qualified to chase flowers. Although the painting is precious, it is nothing compared to the things exchanged.

He can understand intelligent life.

The reason why intelligent life can break through the barriers of data and live out humanity is because it has feelings, and it must cherish its feelings.

Tang Xuan nodded slowly: "Deal."

He may not be able to decide other things, but he can still decide the ownership of a painting in Neutron Battle Star.

A new deal was struck.

The gentle woman said calmly: "Give "her" to me first, and I will leave a battleship that can contact me. When you decide to transfer, contact me through that battleship, and I will send you to a safe place. place."

The thinking is very clear.

Tang Xuan suddenly realized that maybe she was willing to help the Federation, but just wanted to take the opportunity to get "her".

Tang Xuan's mood became relaxed. He suddenly became curious and asked, "I just heard you say that you have a voyage plan. Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know, just look around." The gentle female voice said after hesitating, "I'm very curious about everything in this era, especially the ancient gods. I might go back and catch a few to study."

She shocked Thor with her endless battleships, and Thor also shocked her. For the first time, she realized that individual power could reach a level that rivaled civilization.

The sea of ​​thunder left behind after Thor's death was something she could not understand at all. She doesn't understand why the sea of ​​thunder can continue to expand endlessly, nor why violent thunder can have a feminine nature like water. The so-called faith, godhead, and divinity were all words she had never heard of before.

In order to explore the unknown, she decided to sail away.

She used to go on long voyages, and she would greet the civilizations she encountered while sailing. The Hill civilization was the one she encountered during her voyages.

She had no goal in her voyage. She just chose a direction that she felt might lead to wonderful discoveries when she decided to set off, and then she walked until she was bored.

She is an intelligent life, with no lifespan limit and no encumbrances from the same kind. The voyage is so casual.

But this time she won't say hello to anyone.

Tang Xuan envied her a little in his heart, because sometimes he wanted to take a quick trip, but reality restricted his hands and feet.

He felt that he had taken advantage of intelligent life, so he offered: "We can share some of the knowledge about the ancient gods with you."

The gentle female voice replied: "No need, I like to explore the unknown by myself."

Exploring the unknown is one of her few joys.

When conditions permit, she prefers to explore unknown things on her own. Frankly speaking, she was very happy that there were ancient gods in the new world, a life form she had never come into contact with before.

The gentle female voice added: "I have sent a spaceship to follow you. It is the bridge between us. Now I want to devote my computing power to the study of the Thunder Sea. I will say nothing."

Tang Xuan nodded slowly.

He knew the intelligent being just didn't want to talk anymore.

Although he doesn't understand the issue of computing power, this intelligent life has nearly countless battleships. Could it be that he can't spare even a little computing power for chatting?

He said goodbye politely: "Okay, bye."

"goodbye."

After saying this word, the gentle female voice stopped speaking and seemed to have left.

Tang Xuan turned around: "General Yin, you have heard what she said, prepare to report to the leader. Time is limited, we must prepare to evacuate people immediately."

Yin Huazang's face looked a little ugly.

Although this operation against Thunder God did not lose many people, the consequences were no less severe than those in the Shaoyang Galaxy last time.

Not only did he fail to catch the God of Thunder, he also allowed the God of Thunder to self-destruct his godhood.

Not only will it be difficult to capture the Ancient God in the future, but communications will also be paralyzed, and even the territory will have to be given up.

Research new communications technology and evacuate people.

Easier said than done.

Developing new communications requires equipment on both sides. The Federation must first thoroughly research advanced communication technology, and then mass-produce communication equipment to equip all planets.

Afterwards, evacuating the people is directly equivalent to giving up the land that the Federation has cultivated for nearly ten thousand years. After all, people can leave, but factories, livestock, crops, and houses cannot.

If the problem of the Sea of ​​Thunder cannot be solved, Yin Hua Zang can imagine the overwhelming spaceships leaving the federal territory in the future. In tens of thousands of years, the federal territory will be full of ruins.

Lu Qiqi suddenly said: "Huh?"

Tang Xuan turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qiqi said excitedly: "Stop! I've received a signal from my partner!"

Tang Xuan didn't understand: "What signal?"

Lu Qiqi said loudly: "A signal for the twenty-seven of us to form an association!"

Tang Xuan was stunned.

Association of twenty-seven

He was quite surprised to meet the twenty-sixth bald man before, but he didn't expect to receive a signal from twenty-seven people to form an association here. Didn’t it mean that the twenty-seven-member association was made up of humans? How could one survive better than the other?

Tang Xuan asked: "Whose signal is this time?"

"I don't know, but it must have come from my partner!" Lu Qiqi stamped her feet anxiously, "He is in trouble, please save him, please?"

The members of the twenty-seven-member association were very close to each other, and Lu Qiqi was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

Tang Xuan nodded and said to Yin Huazang: "General Yin, can you stop the fleet? Leave me a warship. I have something to do."

Yin Huazang said solemnly: "Rescuing people can be done by soldiers. They have all received professional military training."

He also heard what Lu Qiqi said.

Tang Xuan shook his head: "There are some scenes that they can't handle."

The members of the twenty-seven-man association are all very powerful, and the place where they are trapped must be very dangerous. Sending ordinary soldiers there will lead to death.

Seeing Tang Xuan's firm eyes, Yin Huazang had no choice but to compromise.

"We are not in a hurry to go back." Yin Huazang said slowly, "We will accompany you to save people."
