Volume 3 Chapter 58 Everything is normal, but it is not normal
"Black hole galaxy? What does that mean?" Lin Xu asked in surprise.
After Yinghuo's explanation, Lin Xu finally understood what was going on.
The so-called black hole galaxy naturally cannot mean that the galaxy has turned into a black hole.
Rather, it refers to that galaxy, which is like a black hole, where nothing can go in but not out.
No warship from any civilization that entered that galaxy has ever returned.
Even as far as the Malians know, the advanced civilization that sold the curvature engine to the Malians had sent warships into the black hole galaxy a thousand years ago.
As a result, the warship of the advanced civilization named Heno also did not return.
Even since the battleship entered the black hole galaxy, no news has been received, not even a single quantum communication signal.
For this purpose, the Heno advanced civilization even sent people to investigate and study it.
It was found that the entire black hole galaxy was in an inexplicable blockade state, and the probe could enter but could not leave.
Even the signal from the detector cannot be transmitted.
Even if the optical telescope can clearly see that the detector is there, and even if the action instructions are issued, the detector can still receive it and act according to the instructions.
But the detector's signal cannot be transmitted, and the detector itself cannot leave.
This strange phenomenon aroused great curiosity among the Hono civilization at that time.
But soon after, a war broke out between the Heno advanced civilization and the Misai advanced civilization because of half a unit of chaos energy, and the Heno civilization's research on black hole galaxies was terminated.
As a result, the news about the existence of black hole galaxies gradually spread among civilizations within a hundred light years.
During this period, some civilizations came to check it out out of curiosity, but even the advanced civilizations didn't figure out anything, so everyone just watched from afar and then left.
The surrounding area of more than a hundred light years basically belongs to the sphere of influence of the advanced civilization of Heno, although it is a relatively remote area.
But it is also rare for other advanced civilizations to come and get involved.
Therefore, when the Hono advanced civilization was busy with war, naturally no other advanced civilization would come to study black hole galaxies.
Even after the war ended, the advanced civilization of Hono might have forgotten about this place and did not come here to study it again.
Until the Earth appeared.
"So, it was humans who did something in that galaxy, causing it to become a black hole galaxy?" Lin Xu could only guess this.
Who made humans build magical worlds and conduct experiments that blew up planets along the way?
This black hole galaxy happens to be the galaxy where humans are preparing to build a large-scale antimatter annihilation energy confinement collection device factory. Who else could have done it if not humans?
In short, whether it is really as Lin Xu guessed, we can only find out by going and seeing it.
Anyway, he has to go. After all, Lin Xu will never give up on the antimatter reactor.
It is too troublesome to build it from scratch, so it is more convenient to use a ready-made one.
Even if there were no such reasons, just the fact that humans had been there ten thousand years ago would make Lin Xu go and take a look.
In short, Lin Xu is ready and is about to set off.
Before setting off, Lin Xu released the fleet and all soldiers of the Republic of Mali.
After all, the two sides were not in a hostile relationship from the beginning. Lin Xu even felt embarrassed that he rushed into someone else's trading scene and snatched the things that others were trading.
But since he had robbed it, he had no intention of returning it.
On the contrary, the people in the Mali Republic fleet had no resentment towards Lin Xu at all, and were even very grateful.
After all, I was trading chaos energy privately and was caught by an advanced civilization. It was good enough that they did not go to my home planet to be punished. In the end, they even released me. They are really good people. There are not many such good advanced civilizations.
What is it called? Earth Civilization, right? Okay, I must remember this in the future. Earth Civilization is a good civilization.
As for temporary caravans, they receive another kind of treatment.
Lin Xu first handed over the captives from the lower civilizations that had not yet broken out of their home planet in the temporary caravan to the commander of the Republic of Mali, asking them to help send these poor people back as much as possible.
Commander Kalincha readily agreed.
Among them, there are even many women who were tortured beyond recognition.
We have an interstellar civilization. Is it difficult to make robots that look exactly like real people? Is it so fun to torture prisoners, especially when they are of different races, look different, and have different aesthetics?
How could you do this?
Anyway, Lin Xu definitely wouldn't be able to bring himself to attack a female orc.
Afterwards, Lin Xu handed the members of the caravan over to the commander of the Republic of Mali, but this time they were not to be taken care of by him.
Instead, let him execute these garbage.
Lin Xu didn't want to dirty his hands, so he asked someone else to do it.
Naturally, Kalincha agreed readily.
Anyway, I will listen to whatever the advanced civilization says.
Just like that, the matter was resolved. We watched as the ten warships of the Republic of Mali slowly moved away, their speed gradually increasing to twice the speed of light, and disappeared into the universe.
The earth also turned slightly, heading towards the black hole galaxy five light years away.
Five light years, which would take about two and a half years to fly at the Earth's speed.
The time was neither long nor short. After some hesitation, Lin Xu decided to hibernate.
Soon, two and a half years passed, and the time came to the year 10993 of the Sailing Calendar. Lin Xu was awakened from the hibernation chamber by Miss Qiu.
The black hole galaxy is just around the corner.
It was still the familiar courtyard. Lin Xu sat under a big tree in the yard. In front of him was a holographic projection of the full picture of the so-called black hole galaxy.
When viewed from outside the galaxy with an optical telescope, we can see that the black hole galaxy is just an ordinary galaxy.
A star and ten planets orbiting around it.
"Master, should we send out the autonomous machines to investigate immediately?" Qiming's voice sounded.
"Let's take action." Lin Xu nodded.
Then the massive autonomous mechanical aggregates surrounding the earth immediately surged.
A self-regulating mechanical aggregate that was currently constructing a million celestial pillars separated a hundred of them and flew into space with the help of anti-gravity devices.
Then, a curvature engine with a diameter of about one kilometer was received in low-Earth orbit.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of autonomous mechanical aggregates wrapped the curvature engine, decomposing and reassembling in the blink of an eye.
A ship over 3,000 meters long appeared in low Earth orbit.
Immediately, the warp engine inside the ship started, and the ship reached an extremely fast speed of one tenth the speed of light, heading towards the target galaxy.
In just a few minutes at most, the ship disappeared into the interior of the target galaxy.
"Quantum communication is normal, the space perception radar is activated and can receive return signals. Everything is normal." Qiming reported the detection results.
However, it is precisely because everything is normal that it is the most abnormal.
"Didn't they say that this is a black hole galaxy and that signals can't be transmitted?"
No one could answer Lin Xu's question.
After hesitating, Lin Xu decided to take a risk.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
So, the earth started sailing towards the so-called black hole galaxy.
