Chapter 331 Galaxy Bridge
The universe in which human beings live is three-dimensional.
length, width, height.
These three basic elements constitute the universe and explain everything in the universe.
Any object or life can be described with the help of these three indicators.
No matter how thin it is, even if it is only one millimeter, one micron, or one nanometer, it still has a thickness and can be measured!
But now, what is in front of everyone is the countless abnormal data returned by the detector!
It is like a virtual painting, staying quietly on the surface of the star!
But everyone knows that it is by no means an illusion!
At least half of the energy emitted by Ross 154 was completely absorbed by it!
This scene full of contradictions stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
30 seconds flew by.
Under Lu Yongchang's gaze, the "grey" substance shrank rapidly.
In less than a second, it shrank from the size of half a star to a small "canvas" with a length and width of one hundred kilometers.
Later, it retracted into Ross 154 again.
Ross 154 has also returned to its original appearance.
It was as if what just happened was an illusion!
The 1420 MHz signal flickered again.
[Little guys, have you seen enough? 】
A line of text appears in the holographic projection.
Lu Yongchang suddenly came back to his senses. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
There are so many doubts in my heart, but I don’t know how to express them!
After struggling for a while, Lu Yongchang raised his hand, slowly tapped the holographic image in front of him, and typed out a few lines of text.
[Dear seventh-level civilization, I apologize again for disturbing you not long ago. 】
[If you need anything, please just ask, human civilization is willing to help you. 】
…
Shortly after the message was sent, the human fleet received another response from [Painting].
【Service? hehe. 】
[What can a mere second-level civilization do for me? 】
【Avenge me? 】
There was a strong air of contempt in the message.
But Lu Yongchang didn't care.
After all, for a seventh-level civilization, human civilization is not even as good as ants on the roadside.
The fact that the other party is willing to talk is already a great reward.
But the last sentence made him widen his eyes!
revenge? !
The other party actually mentioned revenge? !
Could it be that...
Lu Yongchang's breathing was slightly rapid, and he responded quickly after careful consideration.
[You just mentioned revenge? 】
【As powerful as you, can you also get hurt? 】
The 1420 MHz signal flashed rapidly.
[Haha... I am just a seventh-level civilization. 】
Lu Yongchang's eyes changed quickly and he asked again.
[Are there many civilizations above level seven in the galaxy? 】
[How did you get injured? 】
But this time, nothing happened to the 1420 MHz signal.
This two-dimensional creature named [Paint] suddenly became "cold" and never responded to the messages sent by humans.
…
Half an hour later.
Looking at the Ross 154 image returned by the detector, and then looking at the "chat history" that stopped at the last sentence, Lu Yongchang frowned and sighed softly.
"Professor, what should we do now?"
Cao Liangcai's voice came from the side: "Are you leaving? Or staying?"
Lu Yongchang thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"Can't leave."
"At least, we can't act rashly until the other side speaks."
"The fleet will stay where it is, and all construction will be suspended."
"Zero, keep monitoring and detecting Ross 154." Thinking of the terrifying existence in Ross 154, Lu Yongchang swallowed the words that came to his lips and rephrased them, "If the other party sends another message again, Information, notify me immediately!”
Then, he reached out and rubbed his stiff face, and said in a deep voice.
"Next, it's time for us to sort out the information obtained from this exchange."
…
"first."
"The opponent is a two-dimensional creature, there is no doubt about it." Lu Yongchang reached out and called up several data returned by the detector, "No matter what detection method we use, we cannot detect the 'thickness' of the opponent."
"Of course, it's also possible that our instruments are too backward."
Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang shrugged: "I personally prefer the former."
"In addition, it can be found after slowing down the picture."
"The other person can contract and extend their body with ease."
"As to why it doesn't wrap around the entire star, my guess is that it takes a lot of energy to do that."
"At least, for the current situation, it is an act that outweighs the gains and losses."
"At the end of the conversation, the other party mentioned the word revenge. Combined with the above conjecture, we have reason to suspect that it is in a state of injury at this moment."
"And it needs Ross 154 as its energy source."
"This is also the reason why Ross 154 was so bright."
"Does anyone have a problem with that?"
After speaking, Lu Yongchang glanced around the crowd.
Seeing that no one objected, he spoke again: "Okay, on this basis, let's analyze the other party's words."
"The other party claims to be a seventh-level civilization, a two-dimensional creature, and was born in the Triangulum Galaxy five billion years ago."
Lv Yongchang paused for a moment and spoke again: "The Triangulum Galaxy, the third largest galaxy in the Local Group, is about 2.95 million light-years away from the Milky Way."
"We assume that the other party has curvature navigation technology, which can greatly shorten this long journey."
"But how did the other party cross this empty area close to vacuum?"
"During the voyage, the other party hardly received any material supplements."
"Then why did it spend so much energy to come to the Milky Way and then be beaten by the so-called more advanced civilization?"
He Bilin in the distance suddenly raised his right hand.
Lv Yongchang was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "You say."
He Bilin straightened his expression and said seriously, "Professor, I need to correct something."
"It's not that you can't get material replenishment during intergalactic navigation."
Hearing this, Lv Yongchang raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Tell me in detail."
He Bilin organized some words in his heart and spoke again: "According to our observations, there is a galaxy bridge between the Triangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy."
"This galaxy bridge is mainly composed of neutral hydrogen."
"According to current observation data, the length of this galaxy bridge reaches 782,000 light years."
"By analogy, we have reason to suspect that there is also such a structure between the Triangulum Galaxy and the Milky Way."
"It's just that we haven't discovered this galaxy bridge yet."
Lv Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.
"If this is the case, it can be explained."
