Chapter 645: Another Technological Civilization Discovered!
Chapter 645: Another Technological Civilization Discovered!
Han Niba raised his right hand, and the hall immediately fell silent.
"Don't let fantasy replace judgment."
He spoke calmly.
"Create two files immediately."
"First, there are suspected surviving files from an unknown technological civilization."
"Second, technological archives left behind after the extinction of an unknown technological civilization."
"If they are still alive, they are potential allies."
"If they are already extinct, we can try to digest everything they left behind."
His eyes flickered slightly.
The discovery of extraterrestrial technological civilization is no less valuable than the discovery of the Demon Race's coordinates.
This proves that Earth is not the only technological civilization in the universe, and that this technological civilization has already fought against the Demon Race.
As for whether the other party is still alive or not, there is too little information at the moment, and no one dares to draw a conclusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly returned to work.
Some people have begun to try to analyze building materials.
Some people have compared the form of the metal ruins with the existing industrial system of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Han Niba then looked at the staff officer.
"Assuming that civilization still exists, how likely is cooperation?"
An aide immediately replied:
"Based on the information available now, the foundation for cooperation is very strong."
"First, the two sides are extremely far apart, and there is no direct conflict in terms of territory or star system."
"Secondly, both Earth and the other side are technological civilizations, but they should have many differences. In the absence of irreconcilable conflicts, trade is far more worthwhile than war."
"Third, both sides have a common enemy, and the demons have already caused substantial damage to them."
"Fourth, the Great Xia and Terra civilizations have experience in cross-civilization cooperation, proving that we are not incapable of establishing stable relations with other civilizations."
Someone muttered, "That depends on whether the other party is reasonable. What if they're the type to start a fight the moment they see you?"
Another person replied, "That's still better than the demons. They only deal with destruction and death, and they can't communicate with each other!"
Han Niba ignored the whispers and nodded slightly in agreement with the staff officer's words.
This was also the direction he immediately thought of.
Although the collaboration between Daxia and Terra was not perfect, it was generally smooth.
One side lacks a secure environment, and the other lacks an industrial system.
One possesses magic and high-level combat power, while the other possesses technology and development capabilities.
This complementarity makes cooperation far more worthwhile than mutual hostility.
If the technological civilization of the Perseus Arm still exists, the situation should be similar, each with its own characteristics.
Earth is currently unable to even leave the solar system, while the other side is more than 3,000 light-years away, so there is no real territorial conflict between the two sides.
Faced with the common threat of the demon race, any civilization that can still communicate has the value of forming an alliance.
Just then, another data clerk suddenly looked up.
"Report! The fourth set of wormhole detection data has been stitched together, and an unusual bright spot has been detected on the surface of the target host planet."
The large screen switched quickly.
In the distance, the giant planet was brought closer by the satellite, and between the clouds and shadows, a very faint point of light was flickering.
At first, they were like scattered sparks.
However, as the image was enhanced, people discovered that the light spots were not randomly distributed, but arranged along certain arcs and grids.
The technician quickly said:
"We are ruling out interference from lightning, starlight reflections, and high-energy particles."
A few seconds later, the analysis results popped up on the side of the screen.
[Probability of natural lightning: 17%]
[Probability of ice crystal reflection: 9%]
[Probability of artificial stable light source: 68%, and continuing to rise.]
The astronomers stared at the curve, their eyes lighting up.
"The visible light band is stable, the infrared band shows a heat source response, and the distribution is located in a suspected urban area."
"It's not natural lightning. Lightning isn't this regular, nor is it consistently stable."
"It looks more like a light!"
As soon as those words were spoken, almost everyone in the hall held their breath.
Because it means that the technological civilization may not have perished yet.
They may still be fighting the demons on that giant planet, or in a base near it.
Perhaps, like Earth, they too are struggling to survive underground, in fortresses, space stations, or some other facility incomprehensible to humans.
"If there's light, is that civilization still alive?"
"They weren't completely defeated by the demons?"
A female soldier, suppressing her excitement, asked:
"Could it be that the demons lit the lamp?"
The astronomy expert rolled his eyes on the spot.
"Why are the demons lighting lamps? To open a night market for inferior demons? To sell roasted human legs?"
In such a tense situation, this remark almost made several colleagues lose their composure, and the atmosphere lightened a bit.
Han Niba finally spoke.
"Don't get too excited yet."
"That could be a surviving city, a remnant of an automated system, or a facility that the demons didn't shut down after they occupied it."
The staff officer nodded.
"But either way, it shows that there is a complete energy system there."
"That's right, the fact that it's still lit means it's not completely dead."
This statement made many people's eyes well up with tears.
For the first time, another trace of technological civilization has been discovered in the starry sky on Earth.
Even across three thousand light-years, those points of light made one's heart flutter.
Someone couldn't help but say:
"What do they look like? Carbon-based? Silicon-based? Could they also have two legs?"
Is their technology path nuclear fusion, electromagnetic weapons, particle beams, or something completely different?
Did they ever think they were a lonely civilization in the universe, until the demons crawled out of the space wormhole?
The other person chimed in:
"It's best not to look too irrational."
"Otherwise, our brothers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have to receive psychological counseling first."
"You're overthinking it. If we could really work together, I'd call anything that looks like an octopus 'brother'."
"The octopus brothers wanted to call the police after hearing that."
Han Niba did not stop the seemingly relaxed hushed discussion.
The doomsday has been looming over everyone for far too long.
This discovery gives us hope that we are not alone, and it's a relief.
But catching his breath wouldn't stop him from working, so he tapped the table and gave the order:
"The anomalous light spots were designated as the highest priority observation targets, and all subsequent detection data were attempted to capture the same direction."
"At the same time, notify the Academy of Sciences to establish a communication contingency plan for unknown civilizations."
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we must be prepared!
Not long after the command was issued, a new data packet arrived...
