It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Lu Yongchang's lips moved slightly, muttering to himself.

Yes, it is arrogance.

This arrogance refers not only to the mass of black matter located in the core area, but also to the seventh-level dimensional creature who calls himself [painting]!

It doesn't bother to make any cover up in the restraint device, and just exposes the core area to human beings in such a fair way.

It's as if it has determined that humans cannot, and dare not, dismantle this device!

In fact,

It really is not wrong.

Human civilization, as expected, cannot, let alone dare to dismantle this unknown restraint device.

Even the surrounding gravitational shields cannot be broken!

Lu Yongchang gritted his back molars hard, and a sense of aggrieved slowly emerged from the depths of his heart.

Human civilization is still too weak.

"Yongchang, rest first."

Fang Xu's voice sounded in the quiet laboratory: "It will take a long time for the test results of the gravitational shield to come out."

Lu Yongchang nodded, and stared at the holographic projection again for a while.

Then, he sighed softly, turned and walked towards the door of the laboratory.

With the departure of Lu Yongchang and Fang Xu, the already empty laboratory became more and more deserted.

Gradually, the lights in the laboratory were turned off one by one, leaving only a huge holographic projection and a little light from some experimental equipment.

……

near an ice giant.

In the small starship surrounded by more than a dozen asteroid-grade [Golden Crow] battleships, robots continued their work conscientiously under Zero's control.

suddenly.

Mutation mutation.

In the core area of ​​the restraint device, the originally calm black matter churned.

This scene quickly attracted Zero's attention.

Almost at the same moment, harsh sirens sounded in the Academy of Sciences.

……

Lu Yongchang lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

He is going to go to the technology tree space again.

Perhaps, with the help of the "overclocking" ability brought by the technology tree space, he can capture some inspiration about gravity and dark matter.

Consciousness moves slightly.

When he came back to his senses again, he saw the familiar fluorescent green space in front of him.

As usual, the fluorescent green space is extremely quiet, and the technology tree outlined by bright white lines slowly emerges before his eyes.

The branches and leaves of the technology tree are sparse, and a thick layer of fog is shrouded on the top, which obscures Lu Yongchang's sight.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

The ear-piercing siren sounded from infinity, and the sound gradually became louder, dragging him out of the technology tree space abruptly.

Lu Yongchang suddenly opened his eyes.

The originally dark room was as bright as day, and a holographic projection flashing red light emerged above the bed.

"Professor, there is an abnormality in the restraint device."

Accompanied by zero's electronically synthesized sound, real-time observation images quickly appeared in the holographic projection.

Seeing the black substance that was constantly fluctuating on the surface and exuding a dangerous atmosphere everywhere, Lu Yongchang's original confused expression disappeared instantly.

He got up from the bed and put on the clothes hanging on the bed indiscriminately.

"Zero, notify everyone, gather at the first laboratory immediately!"

……

first laboratory.

Before Lu Yongchang entered the laboratory, he heard Fang Xu's stern questioning voice.

"Is there something wrong with the restraint device?" Fang Xu asked with a serious face, "Who was the last one to leave the laboratory just now?"

"Fang, Academician Fang, it's me." A researcher said anxiously, "When I left, the restraint device didn't show any abnormalities!"

"You can check the operation records, we all do it according to the process."

Fang Xu's voice did not continue. Obviously, he was checking the operation records.

Lu Yongchang stepped forward, and the slightly opened door of the laboratory quickly opened.

"Yongchang?"

Hearing the abnormal sound of the door, Fang Xu, who was checking the operation records, quickly turned his head, greeted Lu Yongchang, and then reported in a hurried tone: "According to the operation records, it should not be caused by human factors."

Lv Yongchang nodded slightly, quickly rushed to the front of the holographic projection, raised his head to check the various real-time parameters on the screen.

"There is nothing abnormal about the gravitational shield."

"There is no abnormality in the output power of the fusion reactor."

With just one glance, Lu Yongchang frowned: "Even the strong magnetic field has no problem..."

Judging from various data, there is no difference between the current restraint device and a few hours ago.

But to the naked eye, it is clearly not the case.

suddenly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the black matter regained its calm again.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the vision regenerated.

A thin gray line slowly protruded from the black substance.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a thin line.

To the naked eye, it looks more like a strip of paper with a very small width.

It has length and breadth, but no height.

Looking at this "familiar" picture, Lu Yongchang only felt a chill behind his back.

With his scalp numb, he subconsciously blurted out: "[Painting]?!"

"Isn't it dead?!" Fang Xu's terrified voice sounded at the same time!

Under everyone's gaze, the gray strip quickly extended.

"An abnormal fluctuation of the gravitational shield was detected."

Accompanied by the sound of electronic synthesis, the gray "note" easily "passed" through the extremely strong gravitational shield, like a drop of water, quietly dripping on the deck of the small starship!

The moment the "note" fell, it was directly covered on the white deck!

Gray expands rapidly!

In just an instant, the interior of the originally white starship was covered in gray!

Through the camera, it can be clearly seen that this gray, using the starship deck as a springboard, quickly spread to the surface of the robot.

All the process is completed almost instantly.

Not to mention Lu Yongchang, even Zero didn't react!

"warn!"

"The control authority of Experiment II robot has been lost!"

"warn!"

"The control authority of the starship has been lost!"

"warn……"

A string of bright red warnings jumped out of the holographic screen.

The bright red light reflected directly on the faces of the people, making the expressions of the people even more gray.

Lu Yongchang's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

problem occurs!

In his mind, only these three characters appeared.

"Attempting to cut connection path..."

A slightly stiff electronic synthesis sound sounded in the laboratory, waking up everyone present.

"Warning! Severing failed!"

The cold electronic synthesis sound was like a sledgehammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard.

Chapter 522 Little guys, meet again

When he heard the electronically synthesized sound, Lu Yongchang's expression changed instantly.

"Cutting off failed?!"

"How could it be possible to cut off the failure?!"

Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of anxiety: "Zero, prepare to physically cut off the communication link!"

The so-called physical cutoff is to directly destroy the corresponding long-distance communication device installed on the surface of Dawn Star.

At the moment when this order was issued, Lu Yongchang was ready to abandon all starships near the ice giant.

"The alert level has been raised to level two, all warships have entered a state of combat readiness, and all [Dimension Strike Ships] are isolated!"

Lu Yongchang issued several orders in a hurried tone.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke again, and said with difficulty: "Ready to start the [Dandelion] project."

The moment the voice fell, the expressions of the surrounding researchers changed.

"Yongchang!" Fang Xu's voice was full of anxiety, "[Dandelion] has not yet been completed, so hasty implementation, I'm afraid..."

Lu Yongchang's face was extremely solemn, he shook his head firmly, and turned to look at Fang Xu beside him: "Get ready first."

"Once the situation is not right, the plan will be implemented unconditionally."

Fang Xu couldn't help trembling in his heart, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, I understand."

The so-called [Dandelion] is an escape plan in disguise.

Preparations for this plan began several years ago, and as of today, the progress of the [Dandelion] plan has already exceeded half.

The plan consists of five hundred fugitive starships.

In normal times, these five hundred fugitive starships are distributed on the edge of the Gliese 555 star system.

Similar to the code name, in case of danger, these five hundred fugitive starships equipped with antimatter engines will leave the Gliese 555 star system at full speed.

Like a dandelion blown away by the wind, it sows the seeds of human civilization into the universe.

In each escaped starship, in addition to the basic artificial reproductive device and germ cell bank, there are also necessary colonization materials.

At the same time, there are thousands of hibernation cabins in each starship. In these hibernation cabins, corresponding basic scientific research personnel have been sleeping for a long time.

It can be said that every escaped starship has the potential to develop a second human civilization on a planet with a suitable environment.

"No way, if it's really the backhand of the [painting] cloth..." Lu Yongchang sighed softly, and said in a heavy tone: "Then what we are facing is very likely to be a catastrophe!"

"Order confirmed."

The electronic synthesizer sounded again, interrupting the discussion between the two: "The state of civilization alert has been raised to level two."

"[Dimension Strike Ship] Quarantine has been completed."

"The communication link is being physically cut off..."
