Chapter 201 Public Email
The Penninglong replacement fleet soon received news that a spaceship might have escaped the blockade. Fleet Captain Patrick snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "That guy Caesar is really going backwards. I said those boring friendship games would definitely affect his judgment. This mission is not suitable for him at all."
"Captain, what should we do?" asked Patrick's deputy.
"I don't believe anyone can escape right under our noses. The black spaceship is probably hiding nearby." Patrick ordered, "Deploy a search formation and find it for me!"
"yes!"
Patrick was right. Rong Yuan was near his fleet. They couldn't fly too fast, or the high speed would destroy the stealth effect of the spacecraft. However, just as the fleet formation was about to be deployed, all the spacecraft, including private communicators, received an open email.
Open mail, also known as interstellar mail, is a special mail with no fixed destination, no fixed recipient, no encryption, and cannot carry too much information. The characteristic of this kind of mail is that once it is sent, any product that can receive information within the signal reception range can receive the same mail. It is usually only sent when you are lost or in distress in the universe, which is equivalent to the SOS signal of the interstellar alliance. Therefore, when receiving this kind of mail, most people will open it and check it immediately.
Patrick Fleet, Caesar Fleet, Biqiu Star Satellite Base, Biqiu Star Governing Hall and all the institutions and individuals on Biqiu Star who received the email later, doctors and researchers of Kaiul Company, Biqiu Star's neighbor Maxwell Star... Countless people received this email one after another. Some chose to ignore or delete it, but more people still clicked on it to check.
…
After the email was sent, the fleet that was about to chase them suddenly slowed down, as if they were waiting for orders from their superiors. Rong Yuan and Amirida also got some breathing space, and they cleaned up their bloody appearance first.
"Speaking of such a convenient method, what if someone uses it to spread a virus?" Rong Yuan asked casually while wiping the blood off his face with a wet towel. To be honest, after hearing about the characteristics of open emails, his first reaction was to use this email to spread the virus. If used well, it would definitely be able to instantly paralyze the command system of a starship or even a planet. It couldn't be more convenient.
Emilida's eyes widened and she asked incredulously, "Who would do such a terrible thing?"
The two of them stared at each other. Rong Yuan looked away first, coughed dryly, and said, "Just asking."
"In fact, the current open email was originally designed in the mode of a virus. When it first came out, it caused a lot of damage. After people cracked the virus, they unexpectedly found that it had outstanding advantages in information transmission. Later, it was improved into a harmless email template. In addition, although it is called interstellar mail, the effective information transmission distance is actually very limited, only about three light years."
Number Two's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker, and his tone sounded like "I couldn't stand listening any longer so I'm giving you some science advice."
In the Milky Way, the distance between habitable stars is often several light years, and some can even reach tens of thousands of light years. At this time, if we still rely on electromagnetic waves to transmit information, the efficiency will inevitably be pitifully low. Therefore, interstellar communication and star networks use the superluminal signal transmission of quantum entangled states, but the farther the distance, the lower the quality of the entangled state, and the number of entanglements will also decrease. Interstellar communication can establish a relay base station, but public emails are all one-time signals, and communication can only stay at a limited distance.
Of course, this very short distance compared to the interstellar world has far exceeded the distance of any signal transmission on Earth, and the technology involved is far beyond the scope of Rong Yuan's previous learning and understanding. He actually doesn't quite understand how this happened. However, he has asked No. 2 to download a full set of Peninglang Empire standard textbooks and most public scientific books. When he has time to study, sooner or later he will figure out what's going on.
After a pause, No. 2 added, "In addition, the Interstellar Law has very detailed and strict regulations on the conditions for sending public emails. If you send public emails for malicious purposes or just to play a prank, you will face a minimum penalty of life imprisonment."
"So that's how it is." Emilida suddenly realized.
Rong Yuan asked again: "If they were space pirates, would they still care about the regulations of Interstellar Law?"
"Of course not. Laws are meant to constrain those who abide by them. But even pirates will not violate this rule, because no one can guarantee that they will never get shipwrecked in the stars." After No. 2 finished speaking, he added with great emotion: "Those who fool the world will eventually be fooled by their own ugly deeds."
Rong Yuan ignored its occasional convulsions and turned to ask Emilida: "How do you feel? I can still handle it here. You can go to the treatment cabin and lie down for a while."
Spacecraft are basically equipped with a fully automatic treatment cabin that can automatically test the patient's symptoms and calculate the corresponding treatment method. As long as all kinds of medicines are prepared, more than 90% of common diseases and injuries can be solved. The treatment cabin on the Wings of Liberty will only be better than the usual one.
"I just felt a little uncomfortable just now, but I'm much better now." Emrida shook her head.
Just now, when they were crossing the wormhole, Rong Yuan was responsible for adjusting the direction, while Amyrida was mainly responsible for estimating the timing and speed. In that case, the reaction time between the intelligent brain calculating the data and converting it into the actual operation effect was enough for them to be killed. Amyrida calculated the result in her mind and let the spacecraft pass through at the most appropriate time. One second earlier, their speed would not be enough to cross safely, and one second later would cause the spacecraft to be hit by artillery fire. In the end, she was able to control the damage within the theoretical calculation of 0.003% error range. No one saw the wonderful moment. To be able to do this, it is not just technology and computing ability, but more dependent on a certain talent and feeling.
Therefore, although the time was short, Amirida still showed signs of fatigue. She knew that the danger was not over yet and did not want to rest, so she leaned against Rong Yuan and watched his operations.
She still remembered how terrible Rong Yuan looked with purple bruises all over his body. It would not be surprising if he died of internal bleeding in the next second. But at this moment, all the bruises disappeared. The merit product once again showed its strong and unscientific side. Emilida did not know this. She was just amazed at Rong Yuan's self-healing ability.
On the planet Biqiu, Geoso once said that Rong Yuan was not from Lantian, and Rong Yuan himself admitted it, but Emilida, who was present at the time, did not believe it. Firstly, it was because Rong Yuan was the person who looked most like her that she had ever seen, and secondly, it was because Rong Yuan had always protected and cared for her without expecting anything in return - if they were not of the same race, what reason would Rong Yuan have to do this?
But at this time, Aimirida had to admit that Rong Yuan was really not a Landian.
Landia's physique is much stronger. Even when Amirida was not as tall as a table, she would not have suffered such terrible injuries while passing through a small wormhole. Moreover, Rongyuan's self-healing speed is probably only slightly slower than that of several nearly immortal creatures.
Rong Yuan noticed where Amirida's eyes were, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't get the expected question, so he said, "Don't you want to ask?"
"What do you want to ask?" Emilida heard this in her drowsy state and asked subconsciously.
Rong Yuan was speechless for a moment, then chuckled and stopped talking.
At this moment, Emilida seemed to understand the question he had not yet said. She gently leaned against his back, resting her face on his broad back, and whispered, "Rongyuan is Rongyuan. No matter what secrets you have, it is the Rongyuan I know. So I won't ask. When you want to talk... I'll be here all the time."
Rong Yuan's fingers trembled slightly. The weight on his back was very light, but a warm current seemed to flow out from his heart. It's not that there have been times when he felt that Amirida was a trouble, but at this moment, it seemed that all the efforts were worth it. For the first time, he felt that the one who stayed with him was not just the girl that Paco wished him to take care of in his last wish, but a family member.
He was used to hiding his thoughts, so at this moment, he was silent for a moment before he said in a slightly softer voice: "I'm afraid we can't stay in the Alliance for the time being. How about I take you to see my hometown?"
"Yes." Emilida agreed meekly without even asking where his hometown was. She was never the one who made decisions, and she would not think there was anything wrong even if Rong Yuan took her to die.
As Emilida was gradually overcome by sleepiness, there was only one thing on her mind - she really wanted to see the wormhole generator again ... but Rong Yuan didn't seem to want to mention it, what should she do...
The small disposable wormhole maker had disappeared along with the wormhole, not even a screw was left. Rong Yuan knew how dangerous it was to own such a thing, so he naturally would not leave any evidence, whether it was a physical object or a hint in language.
The head sank behind him, and the sound of shallow breathing began to sound regularly. Rong Yuan realized that Amyrida had fallen asleep. Seeing that the Freedom Wing had already moved away from Peninglang's fleet, and the news from No. 2 did not show that there was any ship that could catch up with them. Rong Yuan set the autopilot, stood up and sent Amyrida to where she should sleep. In a completely weightless environment, the girl was no heavier than a feather, but his actions had a sense of cherishing her.
Rong Yuan didn't even notice that a small shadow detached from him and landed on the operating table.
"Hello, Pea." Number Two greeted lazily.
Wandou turned his back to the speaker, staring at the place where Rong Yuan's figure disappeared, with a very lost expression.
"The master is very tired and will rest in the sleeping cabin for about four hours. You should go over and maybe you'll have a chance to talk to him - the master hasn't spoken to you for a long time." Number Two said bluntly. He never knew what euphemism meant.
"Rongyuan is very busy ." Wandou lowered his head and said, "Besides, it's not convenient."
"But don't you want to say something to him?" asked No. 2.
Pea raised his head and took a deep look at the closed alloy door, then turned around and sat cross-legged on the operating table. All the weak expressions on his face disappeared instantly, and he said calmly: "Tell me about the current situation."
So No. 2 stopped talking nonsense and directly played the reactions from all over the country on the screen.
…
The content of the public email was not all the evidence that Paco had left in the secret box. Rong Yuan only selected a small part to broadcast, and he kept the majority of the rest. There was not a single word about the Earth.
Rong Yuan hid the existence and value of the Earth because he was not sure whether these advanced alien civilizations, which often demanded too much from underdeveloped planets and did not regard them as their own, would protect or destroy the Earth after learning of its unique existence. Or, more likely, would they replace the leader of Kayul's operating model and continue?
Contradictions mean disputes, which in turn easily lead to destruction and damage. At a time when Earth civilization is still fragile, if it suddenly faces the plunder and exploitation of advanced alien civilizations, even if the transaction is carried out under the constraints of interstellar law, both parties will never be equal. It is very likely that Earth civilization, which has only a few thousand years of history, will be shattered by the impact, and it is even questionable whether this small planet can continue to exist.
Therefore, what was disclosed in his email was something else.
The Earth is not the first habitable planet to be attacked by a virus.
