Chapter 301: Faster than Light

“Old Professor, are you joking with me? Are you saying that the disc-shaped UFO that is less than one meter long is made of neutron star material?”
Even though the tragic scene of the Firing Pin hitting a rock with an egg was still vivid in their minds, some of these people still did not believe it.
They were more inclined to believe that the other party’s detector was made of the same material as theirs, but it was thicker.
After all, moving the neutron star matter was a little too ridiculous. They couldn’t even separate the natural matter that was purely compressed from mass from the neutron star, let alone move it.
On the surface, the Firing Pin and the neutron star were both maintained by the strong interaction force, but the actual situation was completely different.
Their strong interaction material essentially eliminated the electromagnetic force of the atom and allowed the strong interaction force to overflow, thus forming the strong interaction material.
The distance between the atomic nuclei did not change during this process. As long as the electromagnetic force of the material was restored, it would become an ordinary metal.
However, neutron stars were different. Under pure mass pressure, electrons were pressed into the nucleus and neutrons to form new neutrons, which were then combined with other neutrons. In the end, the entire planet was left with neutrons, as well as a small number of electrons and neutrons.
The surface material of their Firing Pin was formed by trickery, and the true upper limit was far from being comparable to the neutron star matter.
However, they did not believe that any civilization could strip the neutron star matter and load it onto an aircraft to fly at a high speed of 100 kilometers per second.
But sometimes, this was the case with narrow vision. Often, the first thing to be eliminated was the final answer to the question.
Nothing happened to the UFO after it was hit by the Firing Pin and it started flying again after a period of time.
After confirming that they could not deal with the UFO, the higher-ups of this civilization decided to send the ‘civilization tinder’ spaceship, which had been on standby in the nearby galaxy, to deep space in search of a new home.
They would try to communicate with the UFO and then fight it to the end.
They had never been stingy with speculating other civilizations in this galaxy with the worst of malice, a truth that their history had proven for them.
As a result, more firing pins began to take off and surround the UFO from all directions, vowing to break it.
At this time, more drones flew out of the research spaceship that was still in space and completely undiscovered by them.
Li Wenyuan sent more drones to the native civilization Beta for no other reason than that this civilization had aroused his interest.
From the information he had received so far, the main species of this civilization called themselves the Ancient River People. Their name came from an ancient river on their planet that once connected all the continents.
Before they had completed the unification of the planet, the geologists here had confirmed that there was once an incomparably large and long river that connected all the continents.
The place that had been mistaken for a rift valley was actually the river channel of this river. The appearance of the deep-sea detector also found many rivers that had sunk into the sea due to geological activities.
After a magical jigsaw puzzle, a scholar magically discovered that after the continents were pieced together, he could vaguely find a super river that stretched from east to west.
This incident caused a huge uproar and soon triggered a series of public movements.
Because the world at that time had experienced extremely frequent wars, everyone suffered from the chaos of war. They were also affected by the doomsday of resources that was prevalent at that time, and they hated such internal friction.
The sudden discovery of the Pangu River was like a gift from heaven, instantly leading to the people’s attack that could reverse all the decisions of the upper echelons.
In this period of history, regardless of status, most people were fighting for a goal. Some sacrificed their righteous reputation for eternity, but in the end, they all worked tirelessly to obtain a bright future.
—a unified planet.
Regardless of whether there were opportunists or not, at least the planet had become whole in name. It was also the beginning of the journey of the Ancient River People to the sea of stars.
But not long after, bad news came one after another.
One of the scientists who was responsible for the alien civilization exploration project was bored and broadcasting to the outside world in hopes of receiving a response when he suddenly received an alien signal.
His natural curiosity made him respond without thinking. Then, a few years later, they received a declaration of war from the alien civilization.
A fleet was heading towards them and would arrive in 200 years. At the same time, the alien civilization warned them not to resist or there would be more casualties.
Out of self-defense, the Ancient River People began to frantically build space fleets. Since they were unclear about the size and strength of the other party, they could only expand their strength as much as possible.
However, the enemy was too powerful. They had prepared for two hundred years, but they were defeated by a small high-speed aircraft of the enemy. In just a few months, the space fleet was destroyed, and the entire civilization was reduced to slaves.
Then, the Ancient River People learned that the enemy had also attacked with the power of civilization. Their mother planet had been attacked by an advanced civilization and was about to be destroyed.
In order to find a new home, they had to make a large-scale broadcast, and then confirm the location through the reply, and then let the fleet snatch it.
It could be said that these two civilizations were fighting with everything they had.
However, not long after this fleeing civilization ruled the Ancient River People, they were infected with a virus unique to this place because they were not used to the environment, and they began to die on a large scale.
At the last moment of their demise, perhaps because they weren’t willing to be destroyed just like that, they didn’t destroy any technology. Instead, they handed everything to the Ancient River People, warning them that this was a dark forest. If they wanted to live, they had to be cold.
After this, it would be the new era of the Ancient River People.
They began to hide themselves at all costs so that they would not perish in a casual attack from a certain advanced civilization.
At the same time, they were also looking for a way to strike. Soon, they created a means of attack called Stellar Disturber through the remains of a creature left on a planet in their galaxy and a mysterious space revolving around the star.
A group of creatures that could disrupt the fusion of stars would be accelerated by the mysterious space to exceed the speed of light to cross long interstellar distances, and then attack the stars on which life depended.
Not long ago, they successfully used this weapon to attack a potential enemy.
Regardless of the other party’s life form, social form, good or evil standpoint, or extraterrestrial attitude, they did not even communicate with each other. They launched an attack just because of suspicion and experience.
Just as they thought, this was a dark world.
Through the observation of the sentry formation, Li Wenyuan also discovered that this law might really prevail in the current known starfield.
A large number of civilizations were in a state of silence, and there were also one or two weapons that were still in the midst of attacking the way.
Since they could not surpass the speed of light, the efficiency of information exchange became extremely low. No one was willing to spend a lot of energy to test whether a civilization was friendly, and no one could guarantee that the other party would not attack directly.
In order to protect themselves, it was necessary to strike first and hide themselves. This formed the distorted galactic society here.
After Li Wenyuan finished reading the history of the Ancient River People, he was more and more impressed by the function of the hyperspace route.
“Perhaps this was also the reason why humans had built the hyperspace route back then? The Milky Way that only has suspicion between each other, just thinking about it is quite dark…”
With that in mind, he flipped through the database and found a super-ancient song that humans had composed during the era of ascension Faster Than Light Speed. He threw it into the Ancient River People’s information network..
