Chapter 166 Target: Omnic Twilight
026 quietly observed the corner of the bridge.
Her boss had been sitting there for a long time.
The point is, Boss Yang's expression was extremely solemn, as if something big was about to happen. He, who was always full of confidence, had shown a confused expression many times!
026 feels that he should do something for his boss.
She thought seriously for half a minute, then turned and ran to her lounge.
Yang Ming is indeed a little anxious now.
He thought he had met a fellow countryman, but unexpectedly, the other party gave him a little surprise.
Abyss players from outside of Earth?
"Lü, have you calculated anything?"
"Boss, based on the current intelligence, the conclusions we can draw are just possibilities and are not 100% credible."
Lu stood aside with his hands behind his back, summarizing quickly:
"Assuming that the other party has a similar experience to the boss, there is a 70% chance that the other party is from another low-level civilization, and has a similar experience to the boss. Both of them had their home planets fail to pass the high-dimensional civilization test, and were given a chance to start over after their home planets were destroyed.
“It’s a chance to retake the exam.
“But there is still a 30% chance that the other party deliberately threw out these confusing messages, such as the more than 3 billion people and the world working together to fight natural disasters.
"You are probably testing each other."
Yang Ming said, "No, no, no, Lu, believe me, he is not my partner."
"Why?"
"He didn't even react to the Pikachu joke," Yang Ming spread his hands. "When he called out the three words 'Pikachu', his tone was steady, as if he was calling out an ordinary name. This is very unreasonable."
Ritsu shrugged, "Okay, but that doesn't really say much."
Yang Mingteng stood up and paced back and forth with his hands on his hips.
He had discussed this with Lu for a long time, and this time, he did not ask Lu to delete the relevant information.
"There is one more thing," Yang Ming said, "The other party obviously didn't pay attention to the robot Twilight, which means that he doesn't know the information I know."
Lu said, "Different individuals of the same civilization will inevitably obtain different information. This doesn't mean anything. We still have to continue investigating him, boss."
"There is no point in arguing about this. Let's make a brief summary and then make a plan for the next step. This is the most important thing."
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds, then said quickly:
"My hometown is a blue planet with a civilization level of 0.75 or 0.8 and a population of 8 billion. Five years after the Abyss game was launched, it was destroyed by a mysterious ion beam due to the failure of the main plot. Before it was destroyed, a series of messages appeared on the Internet in my hometown.
“Now we have more evidence, the guy hiding in Minter City just brought us evidence.
“My hometown may be wrapped in a space-time bubble, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the galactic civilization and the planetary civilization of my hometown are both real. There must be a buffer zone between the two sides.
“Now we have to prove it!
"I survived and became a legal individual in the main civilization of the Milky Way. Then I used my information advantage to enter the Omnic Twilight and got a cheat.
"Now there are suspected surviving individuals from other low-level civilizations, and they are likely unaware of the existence of the Omnic Twilight.
“That’s the key message right now.”
Lu quickly made notes, and the main brain began to calculate continuously.
Yang Ming stood there thinking quietly.
Lu said softly, "Boss, instead of constantly guessing and summarizing possibilities here, why not verify the truth?"
"Verify? How do I verify?"
Yang Ming wondered:
"Go ask the higher-dimensional civilization directly... You reminded me! Those three old monsters, um, your three highly respected teachers! They might have relevant information!
"How about we go find them now?"
Lu reminded, "According to the rules set by the examiner, Boss, your reappearance means you are ready for the first assessment. We actually still have some time to make more preparations."
Yang Ming curled his lips: "Do you think I am still in the mood to do other things now?"
“Then we wasted more than a year of development time.”
Lu thought carefully:
"But if you think about it carefully...
“At present, our development is just incremental and we are unable to achieve more technological breakthroughs.
“We’ve discussed this before, Boss.
“According to the current level of civilization in the Milky Way, neither the first nor the second assessment can bring much improvement.
“If you want to obtain technology and basic theories that surpass the current Milky Way civilization system, you must pass the third assessment and obtain a technological breakthrough from a third-level civilization to a fourth-level civilization. This is the most precious thing.
"The founding emperor of the Sherman Empire lost himself during the third assessment and was unable to resonate with the Omnic Twilight."
Yang Ming asked: "Actually, I have always had a question. Why did the Empire simply give up on such an important place as the Omnic Twilight?"
"Boss, didn't you notice?"
"Notice what?"
"The Omnic Twilight Entrance is beyond the current cosmic dimension, and the area around it is filled with a uniform dust cloud."
Law explained:
"This means that there may have been a planet or other celestial body there, or perhaps a magnificent building suspended in space, but it was later bombarded by extremely strong energy, and the remaining fine matter was evenly spread out, resulting in that dust cloud."
Yang Ming: …
Levi Sherman was so angry that he blew up the original physical entrance of the Omnic Twilight?
This is not like the benevolent emperor portrayed in "The Emperor's Biography".
"Of course, you make all the decisions. I'm just your assistant."
Lu said softly:
“I must remind you that although the three teachers are from a high-dimensional civilization, that civilization has disappeared in the development of the universe. The three of them may not have observed the Milky Way, and they are far from being omniscient and omnipotent mechanical gods.
"Lü is more perfect than them. Lu commented objectively."
Yang Ming was a little unsure for a moment.
His situation is very good now. Whether he is developing the Luofeng Empire or the Dark Star, he can ensure that he will pass the first two assessments smoothly.
However, it is not easy to create a third-level civilization before the third assessment .
——Referring to the current Milky Way, only the core areas of the four powerful countries can stably pass the third assessment of the Mechanical Twilight.
The longer the development time, the higher the possibility of passing the assessment in the later stage.
Of course, it is unlikely that the interval will be as short as five years. The development of civilization does not happen overnight, and the results cannot be obtained in a few years or decades.
Yang Ming thought about it carefully again, crossed his arms, slowed himself down, thought slowly, and analyzed each point one by one.
He paced for a while and said slowly:
"If we want to find out the truth, there is actually another way - to go to older countries like the Sherman Empire and the Guell Confederation and look for some relevant information.
“It is unlikely that this is the first time that a low-level civilization has accepted trials and integrated into the main civilization of the Milky Way.
"Even if a high-dimensional civilization will cover up everything, there is always the possibility that some traces will be left, such as a country suddenly having an administrative planet with a large population."
Lu nodded in approval.
Yang Ming continued, "But I can't wait too long and spend time looking for these materials that only possibly exist."
His eyes were shining as he whispered:
"Lü, I must know the truth as soon as possible.
“Only when I am sure that everything I do is meaningful can I continue to move forward unswervingly.
"I am willing to bear the extra pressure for my impatience in this matter."
Lu said: "Boss, if my memory serves me correctly, you actually asked three teachers indirectly."
"Yes, they just smiled and didn't give me any answer, which made me believe that they must know something," Yang Ming said, "But I didn't ask directly at the time. I concealed my real secret, which is the secret of the fusion of individual consciousness of low-level civilizations."
Lu shrugged: "You are the boss, you decide, I support you unconditionally, and I am also looking forward to what new technologies of first and second level civilizations the three teachers can provide."
"Let's go today."
Yang Ming said: "Empty the Feinan and set off at any time... Hmm?"
Yang Ming turned his head to look at the cabin door, and 026, wearing a miniskirt and a belly-baring tube top, appeared in Yang Ming's sight.
She was wearing a brightly colored wig and holding two cheerleading pompoms in her hands. When she saw Yang Ming, she subconsciously covered her belly button.
"Boss! Do you want to do a cheering dance? I've learned the cheering dance!"
Yang Ming: …
A few minutes later.
026 stood in the stern cabin of the transport ship where Hera was, his lips pursed and he almost cried.
Although her boss ordered her to protect Miss Hera;
But isn’t this really a deportation order in disguise?
026 looked down at her clothes, but could only barely see her toes. She lowered her head and sighed dejectedly.
Tsk, that's too radical.
…
Allison is in a good mood now.
He sat quietly in the corner of the old restaurant he often visited, slowly put down the book in his hand, turned his head and looked at the street scene outside the window.
His bodyguards partially blocked the view, which was a bit of a letdown for Allison.
Allison loves this corner of Minter City.
The city of Minter accommodates a terrifying number of people. The city is truly three-dimensional, with a total of twelve "levels" from three hundred meters underground to one thousand two hundred meters above ground. The suspended lanes are the dividing lines of each level.
This is very similar to Allison's hometown.
Of course, the technological development in his hometown cannot support the construction of super-high buildings.
But at least at the very bottom, in the corner on the edge of the city, there is a sense of the atmosphere of his living environment back then.
"well--"
Allison smiled with narrowed eyes.
That Pikachu made him feel very good, as the other party remained sufficiently vigilant.
When Allison deliberately used his hometown language to test the other party with the sentence "We have different divisions of labor", the other party was obviously stunned and then understood.
This is the best proof.
This test was carefully designed by Allison. It was launched suddenly and without any warning, and the other party's reaction was completely reasonable.
There was no shock or surprise, only a frown and a hint of blame.
Not using the language system of one's hometown is an act of subconsciously protecting one's hometown.
Now that the existence of my companions has been confirmed, what can I do?
Allison thought quietly.
Obviously, I can only chat with the other party, share my worries and relieve some anxiety. The path I am taking now and the route I am running are not suitable to be shared with the other party.
Allison has been thinking about a problem.
What kind of situation will his civilization face after passing the supplementary exam and officially joining the main civilization of the Milky Way ?
Exploitation, war and slavery, brain drain…
He was going to stop this from happening.
If you engage in politics in the New Federation, it will not be difficult to climb to a position of real power step by step in the next 20 to 30 years, form your own faction, and use the powerful influence of the New Federation to protect an administrative planet.
Allison feels that this is the meaning of the existence of pioneers.
Buzz, buzz!
Allison's network access terminal vibrated continuously.
He doesn't like being disturbed at this time.
After opening the network access terminal and taking a look, Allison's expression suddenly froze.
'Boss, we have a third visitor to our website, here is her profile.'
Allison looked intently.
She was a young woman, with a somewhat puzzled look and hesitant eyes, and the environment she was in was very noisy, probably a game hall.
The questionnaire below shows the progress…
Ninety-eight percent accuracy!
The only question I got wrong was the tactics question about the game "Abyss".
"The third one?"
Allison's eyes became brighter.
He had a bold idea... On his home planet, the planet with a gentle khaki glow, there was a group of human beings surviving.
This is simply a gift from the Star God!
He is not alone!
Allison immediately sent a message to his subordinates: "Ask her to meet in the afterlife, the same method I used before."
'All right, boss.'
A few minutes later, Allison got into the back seat of his hovercar.
The subordinate reported a piece of news to Allison:
'Boss, the other party said that she can't go to the Free United States. It's too far away and the network equipment doesn't allow it.'
Allison frowned in thought.
Is she doing so badly?
Allison thought carefully for more than ten seconds and gave a more reliable command: "Help me build a server, connect directly with virtual images, and ensure the highest level of confidentiality."
'Okay, boss, we'll get started.'
at the same time.
Flying on the Feinan in the silent deep sky.
Yang Ming felt a little dizzy when listening to the urgent information reported by Lu.
A third 'player' appears?
The guy hiding in the city of Minter in the New Federation put down a bait and caught two big fish?
Lu smiled and said:
"Boss, I have located the third player's location. She is inside the Guel Alliance. Do you want to go find her?
"Her self-protection measures are a mess. I have even found gossip about her personal doctor."
Yang Ming asked: "If we find her, can she help us understand the truth of this matter?"
"Probably not," said Lu, "She doesn't look very well mentally."
"Let's go to the Omnic Twilight first," Yang Ming said. "Whether these people are my competitors or my enemies, I have the confidence to face them. Now what I need to know is whether they are friends or enemies. This is the most important thing."
"Understood. I have calibrated the course. I will keep an eye on the opponent from all directions."
Yang Ming smiled, looked at the familiar route map in front of him, and curled his lips slightly.
The last time he went to the Omnic Twilight, he spent a lot of effort, walking and stopping, searching all the time.
It's not like now. With the excellent performance and strong jump stability of the Feinan, he only needs a dozen galactic hours to reach the airspace where the Omnic Twilight is located.
I hope those three old guys can give some constructive suggestions.
"Immediately initiate the sixth jump once you have escaped from the nearby gravitational field."
"yes."
